At any\nrate, he said, the entire proposal\nwill go before Congress soon after\nthe start of the session January 3\nEarly discussed Mr. Roosevelt's\nmessage at a press conference. He\nsaid that the chief executive had\nnot yet started writing it and that\nundoubtedly he would confer with\ncongressional leaders before he personally delivers it to a Joint session\nof the Senate and the House.\nReporters at the conference asked\nEarly for his views on an editorial\nsuggesting that various committees\ninterested in aid to the Allies for\nkeeping America out of war disband in the interest of national\nunity and reform into an agency\nwholeheartedly behind the President.\nEarly replied that he hoped the\nidea  \"is contagious.\"\nMessages of reaction to the Sunday night speech still were pourine\nin.

They tre: specific serum,\nsulfanilimlde derivative drugs, tnd\nthe scientific uw of oxygen.\nSERUM\nThe uie of serum In pneumonia\nwu, for long ytan, a dream but\nthe successful accomplishment met\nwith many technical obstacles. Most\nof thete obstacles have been overcome.\nPerhapi even more successful\nthan the use ot serum, has been\nthe development, almost coinciden-\ntally with the use of serum, of the\nuse of the chemical dyes which\ngo under tbe general name of sulfanilamide derivatives. Theie ara\nlike the magic bullet of Ehrlicr.\nthey kill the ierm without injuring\nthe tissues of the host.\nSulfanilamide, Itself, li effective in pneumonia but apparently\nnot u effective u two closely related compound!, sulfapyridine tnd\nsulfathiazole.\nOxygen is used when there ls a\ndefinite indication that the patient's\nlungs are so congested that he cannot readily use oxygen trom the air.\nOxygen should not be used indiscriminately in all pneumonia pa-\ntions, and It sometimes makes them\nvery uncomfortable.\nJust which one of thtt* remedies, or til, to use In a given cue\nrequires the belt Judgment ot the\nattending physician. From the reports of those with wide experience it would seem that the sulfanilamide derivatives are the\nmethod of choice. There lt no re*\nson why they should not be used\nIn combination with serum. The\ntwo remedies play different parts,\nThe sulfanilamide derivatives apparently attack tha germ itself,\nwhile the serum neutralizes the\ntoxins or by-products produced by\nthe germs.\nCARE OF PATIENT\nThe use ot the Big Three, however, should not persuade people\nto neglect the ordinary nuning care\nfrom the charred edges of the papers, but for good or ill, I had extinguished the lut spark of the\ncreeping fire.\nWearily, he smiled back at me;\nthen, he spoke again;\n\"Beulah, I am afraid your lister\nIs demented.\"\n(To Be Continued)\not the pneumonia pttltnt.

Hit observations mty\nhave been incorrect, hit Judgments\nwrong, and hit imagination unrestrained; but tor facta at he net\nthem he hu a ver; high regard.\nWhen, for lnttance, you read an of t-\nrepeatcd itory to tht child of three\nor five you mutt not miscall a tingle word, else he will correct you.\nSo alto when you relate an incident\nobserved by both vou and the\nyounger or older child, he expects\nyou to report it u be remembers\nIt It you vary In respect to time,\nplace or quantity he correct! the\nerror it he tees it, with no thought\nof being rude. More often thtn not,\nhit correction ls a true one.\nCORRECT PROCEDURE\nIt may not even occur to the\nchild thtt w* or othen think him\ndiscourteous when ht contradicts ut.\nHe does not sense the adult attitude\non tuch mttters u wt do. Ltt us,\ntherefore, be patient with him. Instead of chastizing him right before\nour friends, let ut wtlt until we\nare alone with him and then explain\nhow hit contradiction it Interpreted\nby our adult friendi. Suppose wt\nsty: \"Next time you hear, me stating something not quite accurate,\nyou give me a wink. Then I'll turn\nto you and say, fu it Wednesday\nor Thunday,' I will aniwer. Thank\nyou for helping me.' You therefore,\nwill be happy, I'll be happy, and my\nfriends will know that all It well.\"\nOur next step it to examine ourselves, to tee thtt we no longer\ncontradict the child, and that when\nwe do to, we follow lt by in apology.\nIt it usually a very childish thing\nfor parents to contradict each other.\nBut there are extreme instances\nwhen one parent feels compelled to\ntake issue with another. Tha widow\nof Joseph Conrad cites one concerning her late distinguished husband.\n\"Joseph had one very marked\ncharacteristic: He would allow no\nargument Ln hit own family circle.\nIn early dayi I often truugrttetd\nby ittenvpting t_ correct hil dates.\nI htvt beard him repeitedly give\nthe dtte of our marriage two yean\nlater than it wu. At tint I interrupted him eagerly, pointing out\nthat our boy wu born that yttr.\nHe would turn quickly towtrd me,\nfrowning bit displetsure: 'You will\nallow mt, my detr, to know u much\nabout it u you do.

It is one of the essentials if victory\nis to be reasonably priced.\nTo meet the taxes will require some foresight and\npreparation.\nWe cannot spend prodigally on our private concerns,\nand have the money we shall need to meet two separate requirements\u2014first, the taxes, and second, the next war\nlow.\nThe war will march a great way in 1941 in the direction of a decision\u2014how far depends in part on us.\nIt will be a year of intense preparation coincident with\nstriking of fearful blows. But tanks must be piled up and\npiled up\", guns must be multiplied and multiplied; planes\njj must be turned out endlessly, till there are vast reserves\n| of them, fully comparable to Germany's, reserves. Muni-\naons must be poured into Britain in a never-ceasing stream,\nirach a stream that extensive losses will have little relative\n; effect\nCanada must be geared for war in every respect.\nThe Kootenay must be geared for war.\nNelson, and every community, large or small, must\nbe geared for war.\nThis year will be a year of change as well as a year of\neffort, a year of realization of the meaning of war participation.\nAnd the utmost that Canada can do, in the way of\nsacrifice, cannot compare with the sacrifice heroically\nmade by Britain.\nThe British example is an inspiration to everyone in\nwhose veins runs the blood of free men.\nTHIS NEW YEAR\nInvariably the New Year raises the question of our\nultimate destiny.\nBefore us stretches the chasm of uncertainty. Uncertainty of events, and often of purpose. Living in a\nworld where issues are confused and values constantly\nchanging, it is necessary to tear ourselves away from patterned thinking and for each individual to find peace and\na feeling of stability which can come only when ideals and\ncircumstances are reconciled.\nWith conflict surging around, it is more vital than\never that we should develop this stabilising force to serve\nas a check against the emotional strain to which the world\nis being subjected. And this stabilization can emanate only\nfrom the individual.\nA new year should find us with the courage to examine\nour past mistakes, to change our preconceived opinions, and\nwith sufficient faith in ourselves to believe that the new\nyear will leave us stronger and better spiritually, mentally,\nand emotionally.\nMan's eternal quest\"for happiness is confused because\nthe ingredients which would serve to give him happiness in\nthe fullest measure are often discarded as non-essential.\nSuffering can be fought against, ignored, or accepted. It\ncan be a defeat in itself, or it can be used as a vital force\nnecessary to a balanced existence, and a measure whereby\nthe true values of life are fitted in constant harmony to\nbring a deep sense of satisfaction to a man's innermost\nbeing.\nWar with its frightfulness is bringing to the world a\nrich, terrible, and wonderful opportunity to evaluate the\nideals on which Christianity originally was erected, and to\nreconsider the accepted methods by which it has been\n\u25a0* practiced.\nOut of this war has already arisen courage, consistency, strength, and simplicity, symbolized by England and.\nher people, which shine as a beacon, not only of ultimate\nvictory for a hard wrought nation, but as an example of\nhow a nation, welded ,by the strength of purpose of each\nindividual into a supreme unity, can show a strength far\n'bayond previous human conception.\nFor this purpose is yet another year being granted.\nA year in which the need for individual courage, individual\nunselfishness and the exercise of individual strength of\n^purpose is urgent.. It is a year in which we may come\nHearer to discovering the basic qualities of existence, of\nfinding the true meaning of unutterable and unshatterable\npeace which has come to men and women who have earned\nthe right of knowledge that material substance never has\nbeen and never will be the goal of human happiness.\n-mvt-vn twin.,  rearer*, mtvrtww. th ii,   uttmttm immiviiq   .ni.,\nTHUMBS UP\"!\n1,   !\u00bb*. a.- i.i i      '\t\nCONTRACT...\n__ annul. oohv_-nt_on\n90 ooimtmoN u more\npnerelly accepted tmong flat\nplayen than thtt devlltd ntirly\nltn yetrt tgo by Theodore A.\nUghtner wgardlng Un meaning\nof a doublt o< a tUm contract\nwhleh ll dearly not \u00bb ttertaot\nooo trict It It Oat tht opening\nleader muit not mtkt the (tad\nwhich otherwise would be normal,\nia -\/lew of tbe bidding that had\ngen* on.

The late Edgar\nWallace created t Scotland Yard\nman who went about with an umbrella in his hand and a derby hat\non his head. Jean Chlappe wore\nthe bowler and invariably carried\nthe umbrella.

In\n1926 lt was stolen, tnd tht mystery\nseemed insoluble. Then Chiappe\nwas called. Using those gimlet eyes\nof his, he watched and waited until\none day ht saw a chambermaid bite\ninto an apple left upon a tablt In one\nof the rooms of a cheap hotel. She\nbit not only into tht apple, but almost cracked \u2022 tooth on the great\nConde dlimond. Chiappe got the\napple, the diamond and Ihe thief,\nbut ht had to gtt tht chambermaid\nmother lob because of the notoriety she brought to the hotel. Force\nat the latt retort only\u2014that wis\ntht motto ind modus operandi of\nUie greatest detective fo modern\ntimet.\nSomt yean tgo, tight thousand\nangry farmers poured into Paris,\nbent upon making a demonstration\nagainst the Chamber of Deputies\nbecaust tht prict of wheit wu to\nlow. Out of tuch demonstrations\nrevolutions hivt exploded. In solid\nrank! tht ennged farmers marched\nInto the city, bristling with menace.\nJean Chlappe. carrying bit umbrella, weiring hit dingy bowler\nhat\u2014thil utterly unimpressive little\nmtn\u2014ihook hands with the ringleaders and announced that he wu\nthere, with 1 police escort, to lead\ntheir parade tnd demonstration.\nAway they went ln perfect order,\nflags flying, men cheering, little\nMonsieur Chlappe showing the way\non his short, stubby legs. It covered miles before the farmers, unfamiliar with Pirlt, began to grow tus-\npicious.\n\"How far is this Chamber of Deputies?\" ont uked.\nA bytttnder to whom tot quti-\ntion wu put lsughed. \"Oh\", he said\n\"only ibout three miles, but not in\nthe direction you sre marching. It's\njust  the opposite way.\"\nLittle Monsieur Chlappe had\nwalked the rage out of them.\nWhen it comes to cleaning up his\nbeloved Paris, Monsieur Chlappe,\nhit like a hunderbolt. He isolated a\nwhole district, precisely as a sur-\ngeon wiU isolate a bodily area for\nan operation. His agents des police\nwere moved swiftly and silently to\nthe Infected area. They surrounded the district. At a signal they\nswooped.\nIt was little Jean Chiappe who\nprotected the American Embassy\nduring toe Sacco-Vanzetti riots, who\narrested the Hungaritn counterfeiters, who broke up the Cttalan\nconsiracy, and who subjugated the\nReds and the Anarchists on more\nthan one tense May Day, when\nParis feared blood and slaughter.\nBut France will remember him\nlongest, probibly, for his last meeting with Clemenceau. The Old Tiger\nwas on his deathbed when he sent\nfor Jean Chiappe. When he entered\nthe room, Clemenceau looked at him\nsteadily' for a moment, and then\nstretched forth his white and bony\nhmd with these words: \"Monsieur,\nle prefect, I want to shake the hand\nof an honest man before I go.\"\nDust of Gold\n\"Esteeming the reproach of\nChrist greater riches than treasures in Egypt.\"\u2014Heb. 11:26.\nA missionary, out paying calls\none afternoon, chanced upon a woman who claimed to be an atheist\nShe proceeded st great length to\ntell the missionary how all the grett\nmen of the world (is she thought)\nwere itheists. Then plicing her\narms akimbo she laughed: \"Fine\ncompany you'll have in Heaven.\nBut to the missionary these words\ncarried no sting, only pity for Ihe\nwoman who didn't know how wonderful Jesus was.\nOn arriving back at the church\nwhere the missionary had herquar-\nten, she opened her mail from home\nwhere she read thtt her family hid\nbought another big luxurious ctr\ntnd t sort of estate.

But at the same time there\nwere loud declarations that Germany would not permit herself to\ngel unduly excited or allow hertelf\nto be \"provoked\".\n'[here wat i disposition to refer\ntne whole controversy back to the\n\"conscience of the American people\". The attitude was that the\nUnited Statei know how Germany\nfeels\u2014and thtt America hat a\nchance to reflect before the It com-\nm.lted lo t course more hostile to\nGermany.\nInformed toured taid that the\np:ess comment, for the preient at\nleast, would constitute Hitler's re-\n*T to Mr. Roosevelt's Sunday night\n_\/-ech.\nBefore the appearance of afternoon papers, the press attitude was\noutlined as putting down the Resident's fireside talk Sunday night as\n\"undignified in tone, weak in argu-\nent tnd not convincing.\"\nIn iddition, lt wat said, the talk\nwould be characterized at \"an ap\npeal to the lowest instincts of the\nAmerican people.\"\nThe press will tlso use the argument tne President's speech is uninteresting because \"American sup-\nSirt of England, no matter in what\nrm it comes, cannot delay\u2014much\nless prevent\u2014Britain's defeat.\"\nThe German press at Hitler's behest, it wat learned, will accuse the\nPresident of taking certain of the\nwords from Hitler's address on Dec.\n10 out of their \"socio-political context.\"\nThe German press, acting on precise instructions will further ex-\ngret* astonishment that United\ntates officialdom on the one hind\nallegedly always tells the American\npeople that Britain as an island is\nprotected and Impregnable, yet\nPresident Roasveelt \"conjures up\"\nGerman danger to the United States\nthough an ocean separates the two\nnations.\nMr. Rooeevelt't alleged \"co-re-\naponsibility\" for the start of the\nwar and nit \"responsibility for its\nprolongation\" were emphasized by\nmost of the influential German\nnewspapers.\nIn tome quartan, the President\nwas accused of trying to pledge his\nnation to grave changes of policy\nbefore Congress had a chance to\nweigh every issue.\nBut the fact that in the American\nGovernmental Plan Congress is a\nbackstop which must approve fundamental policies was regarded as\na comfort\nIn other quarters Mr. Rootevelt's\ntalk was pronounced \"unstatesman-\nlike\", while some commentators\n\u25a0aid he was afflicted with jitters\n\u2022which caused him to conjure up\ngoblins that don't exist,\nRepeatedly he was challenged on\nthe score that he had misrepresented German aspirations to the Amer-\n' an people.\nThe statement to which German\npapers took most objection was the\ncharge that Germany and Italy seek\nworld domination. The press echoed\nan emphatic denial by Hitler himself of any such ambition and asserted the Reich demands only human rights commensurate with its\ntiz_, power and capacities.\nThe Lokalanzeigcr commented:\n\"Roosevelt is completely partisan,\nfull of hate and astoundingly excited despite the fact that neither\nGermany, Italy nor Japan ever did\nanything to Americans.\n\"But Roosevelt's nervousness Is\nunderstandable because he sees' the\nwar and its prolongation, for which\ntit It responsible, are not working\nout as had been forseen ... the situation of England must be very precarious if the President of the U.SA.\nao completely disregards the rules\no_ International courtesy.\"\nNachtusgabe made an oblique reference to the President's aasertion\nthat he had information that the\nAxis can't win the war, saying:\n\"Roosevelt picked words and\nphrases for his explosions of hate\nfrom newspaper articles and books\nof Jewish emigrants.

Pearson, Minister of Labor, announced today.\nThe only strike beginning during\nthe year was the current walkout\not 62 walteri and bui boys at the\nHotel Vmcouver.\nThe number of employees affected by strikes was the lowest in\nLabor Department history and the\nmany days lost through strikes wu\nthe second lowest. Had lt not been\nfor the tact tbe Pioneer Mine\nstrike begun in 1939 did not end until March of this year the time lost\nwould elso have been the ldwest\non record. ,\nMr. Pearson gave the following\nrecord for the last five years:\nNo. of   Emplyes.

Most of\nIhem were settled through the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration\nAct. Wider use was made of this act\nthan in my yeir since It wts\npassed in December, 1937.\nThe Labor Department dealt with\n55 complaints during the year. Conciliation Commissioners were appointed in 27 cues, and nine cues\nwent to arbitration.\nOut of these nine, the arbitration\nawards were accepted in whole or\nin pirt in four cases. In one cue\napplicants withdrew trom arbitration. In two othen the award wu\nrejected entirely by employers. In\nthe hotel case employees struck after the employer accepted only\npart of the award. In the ninth\ncase disputants have still to decide\nwhether they will accept the award\nf*\\\nUpturn in Last Half of Year\nMakes 1940 Business, Nelson\nDistrict, Comparable to 1939\nMONTREAL  STOCK   QUOTATIONS\nINDUSTRIALS:\nAlloc Brew of Cm ...\nBithunt P & P A ...\nCmadian Bronze \t\nCan Bronze Pfd\nCan Car A Fdy Pfd\nCan Celanese\nCan Celanese Pfd ...\nCan North Power \t\nCm Steamship\nCockshutt Plow\nCon Min A Smelting\nDominion Coal Pfd ....\nDom Steel A Coal B ....\nDryden Paper      \t\nFoundation C of C\t\nGatineau Power ______\nGurd Charles\nWA\n13\n39\n112\n22\n29\n124\n44.\nCan Steamship Pfd       19.4\n.38\n20..\n6\n,.     13\n.      91.\n5\nHowird Smith Ptper      14tt\nH Smith Piper Pfd     ttV,\nImperiil Oil         IV,\nInter Petroleum _    14V.\nInter Nickel of Cm      34V.\nLake of the Woods      16\nMcColl  Frontenic\nNationil  Brew Ltd\nNitlonil Brew Pfd .\nOgilvle Flour new ...\nPrice  Bros\nQuebec  Power\nShawnlgan W & P\n5\n27\n38%\n22\n13*.\n14V4\n17\nSt Ltwrence Corp       IV,\nSt Lawrence Corp Pfd\nSouth Can Power \t\nSteel of Can Pfd \t\nWestern Grocers \t\nBANKS:\nCommerce  \t\nDominion   \t\nImperial   \t\nMontreal   \t\nNova Scotia  _\nToronto  \t\nCURB:\nAbitibi 6 Pfd   \t\nBathunt P A P B ...\nBeauharnols Corp ...\nBritish American Oil .\nB C Packen \t\nCan Marconi    \t\nCan Vickers     ..\t\nCons Paper Corp\t\nDonnacona Paper A \t\nDonnacona Paper B \t\nFairchild Aircraft \t\nFnser Co- Ltd    \t\nInter Utilities A \t\nInter Utilities B   \t\nL?ke Sulphite        \t\nMacLaren P A P ....\nMcColl Frontenac Pfd .\nMitchell Robt\nPower Corp Pfd\t\nRoyalite   Oil\nWalker Good & W\t\nWalker Good Pfd \t\n17\n1014\n72\n50\n162\n190\n200\n189\n277\n242\n6*.\n2%\n91i\n17 li\n13\n.90\n314\n3%\n4..\n5\n3\n10\n914\n.20\n.90\n16\n100\n9\n94\n2014\n47\n20K\nVANCOUVER STOCK  QUOTATIONS\nMINES\nBig Missouri   \t\nBralorne      \t\nBridge River Con .\nCariboo Gold \t\nDentonia \t\nFairview Amal \t\nGolconda     \t\nGold Belt \t\nGrandview \u25a0    \t\nGrull-Wlhkine  \t\nHedley Mascot \t\nHome Gold    \u25a0\t\nIndian  Mines   ...,\nNlcoli M. 8c M\t\nPend Oreille \t\nPioneer Gold\t\nPorter Id.ho   ,...,\nPremier Border\nPremier Gold\nOutttlno        \t\nReeves-MacD\nRelief Arl'ngton .\nReno OoH      \t\n'.lmon Gold\niheen Creek\n.'lb>pV Premier ....\n*_*.
