On one point th: American governments That is, that times have since 1911. They have changed so much, says the United States, that the commerâ€" cial treaty concluded w.th Japan in that year requires overhauling. ‘They have changed so much, says Japan, that an entirely affairs prevails in the Far East, and the change should be recognized. Times have indeed changed. In those dim and distant pro-war days of 1911 the world was very different from what it is today. Japan had not yet been admitted to membership in the exclusive club known as the great powers. It had, to everybody’s surprise, won a war against China, and a few years latâ€" er a war against Russia. The guns c ha iigcd that were fired in this second wary were to be heard around the world. for they marked the beginning of Asia’s great revolt against EurOpean domination, which Westerners in the Orient are feeling today as never be- fore. The Japanese had shown themâ€" selves to be doughty fighters, and they had seized their first big terri- tory on the mainland, the former hermit kingdom of Korea. No one then foresaw that in less than 30 years Japan would gain control over Manchuria, North China, and every seaport as far south as French Inde- China. Japan’s Rising ‘Star The Nipponese were just shaking“ off the control the westerners had" fastened upon their commerce.

The revolutions that have since occurred in those tWO coun- tries have affected the daily lives of more people than any other revolu- tions in all history. Oh, yes, times have changed, all right. Poland and Czechoslovakia Poland’s situation today is being compared with Czechoslovakia’s be- fore Munich. The comparison breaks down in several places. OzechOSlovakia was a democracy, the only one in East-Central Eur- ope. Poland can best be described as a military oligarchy. Czechoslovakia had not and could not have any ambition to become a maritime state and a naval power. Poland has. Czechoslovakia had no common ‘ frontier with Soviet Russia. Poland has. Poland lies farther to the east, and~is therefore less susceptible of receiving aid from France and Great. Britain. Poland made no very forceful pro- tests against the d‘ismemlberment of Czechoslovakia, but. appeared inclin- ed to acquiesce in the transaction. In view of these differences it ap- pears that any crisis which might arise over Poland would concern the western democracies less, and Rus- sia more, than did the Czechoslovak affair.

Police in Whitchurch Township had a' report on a couple \\'(‘l'(‘ of gents who were reported to be canvassing the concession lines, and really doing a good business. The l line of approach was to promise to put in a new lining in the old cook stove for so much money, or per- haps it would 'be just a repair job. Anyway arguments settling up time came and‘ in several instances the workmen usually want- ed more than the bargain called far at the start. In one instance on the Aurora sideroadi police said the lady of the stove which were to cost only $1. When the job was finished the price was something like 13. She refused to pay and the workmen removed the linings and took them away a- long with the dollar. For the most part it is unwise to allow strangers in the home much less to enter contracts for work or for the sale of anything. There are local dealers for most everything, and it is safer to contract business through one you know.â€"Stouffville Tribune. EMBARRASSING'!

But unbeâ€" lknovvr to him, two city girls were staying across the lake, and one sunny morning these two, also igâ€" visitors, were enjoying a sun bath on the warm sands of the lake shore. minus clothing. Hearing a rustling in the undergrowth they hurried to conceal themselves and were horri- fied to see the reverend gentleman emerge, look around carefully. and casually divest himself of his cloth- ing also and stroll out of sight a- round a point. Now it happened that the parSOn was a candid camera fan, and he walked away, leaving his camera lying on his clothing. Some impish thought occurred to the girls, and they slipped from the bushes, snapped each other a la nude. and after laying the camera whack in place stole away to their camp.
