HOME IMPROVEMENT PLAN In this issue is the announcement of the organization of a local advisory committee to work with the provincial. committee in charge of the Home Improvement Plan for this province. The scheme has been launched by the Naâ€" tional Employment Commission and in Ontario the ad- visory committee is headed by Mr. Ryland H. New and in- cludes many outstanding business executives and leading‘ public figures. Briefly the plan is that under the Home Improvement Plan $50,000,000 has been made available to home owners throughout Canada. Each owner may bor- row up to a maximum of £2000, repayable monthly over n on] in, ___L v v “[4 UV w .-....___-_ a three year period at a discount rate of 3%, per cent. Loans are made through the chartered banks to owners of residential property for the purpose of making repairs, alterations or additions to either rural or urban homes and buildings. ._ . u u , ,IAAL The plan has met with general approval throughout Canada, and it is evident that putting this amount of money into circulation will tend to improve business and create employment. Now that a local committee organ- ization has been set up here, the facilities of the plan are available to home owners in this district and doubtless many will avail themselves of its opportunities. . CORONATION BROADCAST The announcement that elaborate preparations are be- ing made to broadcast the entire ceremony associated with the coronation of King George VI in Westminster Abbey, and the parade through the streets of London, shows what advancement has been made since the coronation of his father, King George V, in 1911. At that time, while ex- periments were being carried on in air flights, nothing more remarkable had been achieved than Bleriot’s crossing of the English Channel in 1909. Automobiles were coming into general use, but there was as yet no radio, conse- quently people read the reports of the coronation in their newspapers. Other events have been broadcast in recent years, such as the Silver Jubilee, the funeral services of King George V, and the dedication of the Vimy Memorial, but this will be the first time that coronation services per- formed in Westminster Abbey will reach not only to the uttermost parts of the British Empire, but of the universe. It is just another example of how closely the discover- ies of modern science are bringing the world together and establishing the truth of the doctrine that the people of the earth are one great family. There may be some dis- position to take an achievement of this kind merely as a matter of course. but it is nevertheless one of the great THE FOLLY OF WAR Sometimes one almost despairs of the world. When one reads that the British people have been called upon to vote millions for a rearmament program so that Britain may be prepared for the attack of any foes we feel with Hon. Neville Chamberlain “disgust and shame for a civil- ization which prefers to break its own back instead of try- infor to settle differences upon a basis of give and take.” We had hoped so much from the League of Nations. We had thought that after the unspeakable horrors of the Great War mankind would have sought lasting peace in collective security and would have been Willing to make anv sacrifice to that end. lnstead. we see the nations of Europe, every one distrustful of the others, driven by fear into the maddest armament race of all time. We see Fascists and Communists at each others’ throats in Spain. each seeking to outdo the other in proving that war is hell. The Old Testament scriptures tell us that the Lord repented that He had made men on the earth because of man’s wickedness, and determined to destroy him by a great flood. Toâ€"day it would seem that man in his wickedâ€" ness and folly is preparing to destroy himself. marvels of this age. AN OPTIMISTIC MESSAGE The budget delivered by the Hon. Charles A. Dunning, Minister of Finance, in the House of Commons last week, on the Whole was a very encouraging message to the peo- ple of the Dominion. “Since 1929 no new year,” he de- clared, “has dawned with greater promise for Canada.” At the same time he felt it necessary to utter a warning that the stage of recovery had not yet been reached “where we can relax our vigilance or our economy," and he issued a salutary warning against the dangers of excessive specu- lation such as occurred in 1929. While there was encour- agement in the announcement that the deficit was less than that predicted a year ago, the Minister is deliberately budgeting for one next year. This situation exists not- withstanding an increase of $80,000,000 in the revenue of the country. _ -. . I .1 1 AL, ___-_ nun-â€" vvu...” It is gratifying to Canadians to know that the year was one of substantial recovery, the net income of the people having increased by ten per cent. Even agricul- ture, which suffered serious reverse, brought greater re- turns to the farmers by reason of higher prices. It was certainly a great achievement for the Dominion to advance to fourth place among the trading nations of the world in exports, and to fifth place in total trade. Moreover, when visible and invisible trade figures. including tourist traffic, are taken into consideration the Dominion had a favorable balance of $617,000,000 of exports over imports. up...“ “Funâ€"n“, v- The announcement that there is to be no increase in the taxation schedules will be welcomed throughout the coun- try.

BEWARE THE DOG :On the 24th of May some years ago, a burly blacksmith stood in his shop in one of our cities. It was a. holiday and he had nothing to do. Presently a large Newfoundland dog wandered into the shop. He was friendly and the blacksmith, who had patient at this stage. He died with- in 72 hours, raving mad. In cases of rabies, the onset of the malady occurs late or early be- cause of the remoteness or nearness of the original infection to one’s brain. In this case, the bite on the nose placed the infection c1059 to the great nerve centre. Onset was conâ€" sequently early. Bites from straying dogs should be given careful attention. The offend- ing- animal, at all costs, should be secured and shut up for a period of ten days. If, at the end of this period he is alive and well, he is not rabid and the wound which has been cleansed and dressed soon heals without serious results. If the dog ShOWS signs of illness or if he has died of rabies, his head. in the latter event should be care- fully removed and the brain tissues examined for negri bodies, the pres- ence of which indicate rabies. The child or other person bitten should at once have a course of rabies pre- ventive treatment. The course lasts for ‘21 days. It is simole of appli- cation, harmless and thoroughly ef- fective.
