$00,000 issued tllc Government of $70,000.

"\\'hen the people snapped up the coins so quickly that the Royal I\lint could not meet the. demand it was explained that Ottawa had only one machine capable of being adapted to strik-

ing a one-dollar coin and that all the other ma- chines in the Mint were busy making five-cent

and one-cent coins. These were needed to make

change. The silver dollar was a luxury coin, but it was a money-maker.

"Is the Citivernmcnt so prosperous that it can ignore an opportunity to make 200 per cent pro- fit and at the same time help the Canadian silver industry? 'l‘licre is no shortage of silver in this country. \\'e export from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 worth of it annually. Even without advertising or merchandising the Royal silver dollar goes like hot cakes and the people cry in vain for more. \Vhy not five, ten and twenty- five cent sourvenir coins which could be dis- tributed by hundreds 0f thousands to the child- ren of Canada?

"In spite of warnings from newspapers throughout the Dominion the Government was tardy about minting the Royal silver dollars and apparently it is now failing to deliver them in quantities adequate to meet the public demand."

“O CAN ADA"

Apparently a subject for debate at all times. arguments have broken out anew which versions of O Canada should be used dur- ing the present visit of Their M a e s tie s King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Official Ottawa, through the Dominion interde- partmental committee in charge of details for the royal visit, has ruled that for uniformity across Canada the \\'cir version of the patriotic song should be adopted.

Frequently during the next few weeks the oc- casion will arise when people will be called upon to vent their patriotic feelings through the rendition of songs. There are comparatively few who can sing the words of O Canada from be- ginning to end, and we follow the example of a mainland exchange by quoting the official text, so that all may become completely familiar with it:

O Canada! Our home and native lazuli

True patriot love in all thy sons comma-rid.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise.

The true north, strong and free,

They are etidcavtittring to eliminate bigotry and foster good-ivill among all faiths in Mount Ver- non, New York. Three clergymen representing the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths met recently and founded the Mount Vernon Per- manent Roundtahle of Good-Will, with the single purpose of establishing on a city-\vide basis the same interdenominational friendship and understanding they have enjoyed for years among themselves. Each of the clergymcn agreed to appoint ten laymen of his faith to member- ship in the organization and then to be host to the roundtable in his church once a year. A fourth meeting each year will be held in a "neutral auditorium." The founders are the Rev. Francis M. O'Reilly, pastor of St. Ursula's Ro- man Catholic Church. in the rcctorv of \\'l‘ilCl1 the organization meeting was held; Rabbi I-lenry E. Kiigan of Sinai Temple and the Rev. Carl S. Vileist, pastor of the Community Church at the Circle. "The organization is non-political and non-theological,” Rabbi Kagan explained. "The only purpose will be to foster good-xvill among the different faiths. The membership will be a cross-section of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths in the community and of the thoughts that motivate them."

WE ALL NEED MENTAL ali-EATMENT‘!

About fifty percent of all the beds in hospitals are occupied by mental patients. As We think of the saying and sot-ions of some of our friends and acquaintances, and also, at times, of our own sayings and actions, the wonder is that there are not even more beds oc- cupied by mental patients.

We all have our little anxieties, worries, pet fifislons. repressions, an inferiority complex along some lines and a superiority complex along others, In fact, many of us are "border-line" mental cases that require but some shock to make us, for the time being at least. fit patients for a mental hospital

In speaking of how easy, how s1- most naturally, normal individuals can become mental patients, Dr. J.P.S. Cathcart. Chief Neuropsy- chialtrlst of Pensions and National Health, Canada, says:

"During the life time of each and every one of us experiences are encountered that continue to have painful and dlstreslng as- sociations (or memories) because of our inability to understand or deal satisfactorily with them. Our only rezourse ls that of forgetting, but actually ‘Militia is foic-ittul; certainly nothing o.’ an emotional nature. The painful event may and does often keep out of our conscious thoughts We push the memories of these painful exper- iences aside and call this "re- pression" and the repressed exper- ience is a "conflict." Just as long as we can prevent these repres- sions and conflicts from interfer- ing with our everyday life and re- sponsibilities we can consider our- selves normal. but when these past painful experiences become a large part. of our dallv thoughts, they tn- fluenoe our actions and we do ab- normal or unreasonable things.

I believe the definition of a "normal" individual s! outlined bv Dr. Cathcart in National Health Review should help us all.

“The normal individual is one who is ‘comparatively’ free of symptoms. is unhampered by ser- ious mental conflicts. has a sails- factory working ability and can love some one else besides him- self. In other words, he is an in- dividual who has the capacity or ability to become adjusted to life. to give and take, and to maintain a satisfactory balance between

himself and his surroundings or circumstances
