Our grateful thanks are extend- ed to race secretary Cerry and his staff for their complete com- pilation of the season‘s results at Saint John Raceway. As we look back over the years and remem- ber that state of harness racing when the new management took over, we are filled with admira- tion for what they have done to increase the popularity of the sport, not only in Saint John, but throughout the province of N ew
Brunswick, and as they are of the “forward” type, we can look to see larger purses and better facilities in every way in years to come.
We had the honor of being pre- sent at the track last year, and what struck us particularly was the interest which each and every fan seemed to take in his or her favorite steed.

Whether the American horses could get acclimatized in a short time, or whether that would be necessary, is the question. While there is a disparity in the re- cords made on European tracks

being faster, this may be due to the soil surface, and not to the speed potential of the horse.
NEW SITUATION
An item in “Down The Stretch“ in the Horseman and Fair World has the following: “The sale of Walter Candler‘s good three year - old trotting colt, G re at Lullwater, at Harrisburg auction, created a situation new to the sales company, buyer and seller.

Anyhow, it caused a diversion and relieved the tension of the buying.
Seaway Views Are Optimistic
TORONTO (CIP)~WIhen the St. Lawrence Seaway is opened next
spring 75 to 85 per cent of the
world’s ocean freight traffic will be able to enter the Great Lakes, Capt, E. C. Hopkins, director of trade development for the Tor- onto hanbor commissioners. said Thursday.
Speaking to a luncheon gather-
. ing of the Canadian Exporters'
Association, Cap-t. Hopkins said he believes the typical vessel to visit Great Lakes ports will be 455 to 500 feet long with a 70-foot beam, drawing about 251/2 feet of water and capable of carrying around 9,000 tons of cargo. CaIpt. Hopkins said that last year a Toronto exporter con ducted a test with 1-1 shipments

routed through New York and 11 through Toronto with like goods destined for the same European port.
“In every case," he stated, “the Toronto routing was faster, in some cases by two days and in others by an even greater margin.”
STILL OPPOSITION The seaway means a vast ex-
pansion in the economy of Can- .
ada, Capt. Hopkins said, but there is still opposition.
“The eastern seaboard rail- roads and port authorities in the U.S. are trying to nullify the growth of business by lobbying for higher tolls than those already proposed. They argue that the or- iginal legislation calls for a pay- off within 50 years and that this must be adhered to.
“They cite the eight months use of the channels as a reason that the seavway should never have been built but in this respect are becoming somewhat subdued be- cause of talk of modern methods for keeping channels open dur- ing zero weather, which might be- come a reality in time}?

Blood Transfusion Stirs Lively Debate In Canada
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
A question with strong emo- tional «vertones is stirring lively controversy in Canada.
Should blood transfusions be administered to child who might otherwise die but whose parents believe such treatment is forbidden by the Bible?
The problem usually involves members of the Jehovah's Wit- nesses.
It was spotlighted two weeks ago by the death in St. Boniface, Man, of 14-year-old Donald Hol- land whose parents refused to permit a transfusion. The contro— versy was revived this week when a Hamilton laWyer. Gordon Sullivan, told doctors that at least seven children there had been given transfusions over the ob- jections of parents.
Only three provinces — Manl- toba, British Columbia and On- tario—‘have had cases of this kind which have come to public notice. N0 CLEAR LAWS
Generally laws applying to the probl. n are not clearly defined. One reason is that the degree of danger to a child said to be in need of blood remains a matter of opinion. Doctors have not al— ways been correct in saying a child would die if not given a transfusion.
Another factor is reluctance of governments to introduce legisla- tion that runs contrary to minor. ity religious belief.
Section 186 of the Criminal Code, which forms the basis for Quebec's approach to the ques- tion, says a parent is liable to imprisonment for up to two years,

it, without lawful excuse, he fails to provide the necessities of life for a child under 16.
Most province- depend on child welfare laws that permit author- ities to seek a court order to make an endangered child a ward of a welfare agency. Such action may take time. H. W. White, Saskatchewan's deputy minister of welfare. describes the legal machinery as “a fairly s1ow~mov~ ing thing." likely to take as long as a week.
DIES DURING WAIT
In Manitoba the government went to court in an attempt to have Donald Holland placed in the custody of welfare officials. The hear-ing was adjourned until the next day. Meantime the boy died after losing considerable blOo-d as a result of an acciden- tal rifle wound in the leg
Several provinces, notably Man— itoba and New Brunswick, are re. ported giving renewed considera- tion to the problem.
In Hamilton, Mr. Sullivan told a group of doctors that in seven or eight cases he had advised giving transfusions despite objec— tions from parents.
“I don‘t think there is one chance in five million of the doc- tor concerned being charged with common assault,” he said. “I don't see how anyone can face damages after saving a life.”
But Dr. T. L. Fisher, secretary- treasurer of the Canadian Medi- cal Protective Association, told the same group:
“To the best of our knowledge a doctor has no right to do any- thing to any person without his
permission. or in the case of a child, parental or guardian per- mission.”
QUOTES BIBLE
The father of Donald Holland quoted from the Bilole to explain the position he and his wife took. One quotation was from Acts 15:29,
“that ye abstain from

You know we've found from experience that if we let small rips go through the cleaning cycle, they’re often a lot bigger when they come out. So to pro- tect ourselves and our custom- ers, we repair them before they
minutes and we are only too glad to provide this service to our customers.
Very few of our customers ever bring these rips to our attention when the garment comes in. . . and that makes me wonder if they do the same with their washables at home.
You can save yourself a lot of work by mendIn-g small rips before you wash. There hasn't
been a washing machine made yet that does not put some
strain on fabrics . . . and where
a seam is gone or a small rip
started, you can expect it to get bigger in the process of washing.
Whether garments are washed at home or dry cleaned it makes good sense to make minor repairs before cleaning . . . and when you send your garments to Stern‘s Limi‘ed for our expert dry cleaning care that makes good sense, too. We send your gar- ments lrack looking like new.
