Receivers On Fee Basis

Effective as from january f, a new system of paying official receivers under the Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act liasbeen adopted by the Dominion Goveniment. The new system substitutes fees for salaries, the schedule of fees being as follows: (a) Composition completed without appeal t0 Board of Review, inclusive of all expenses, $20; (b) composition determined by Board of Review inclusive ofall expenses, $15-

A completed case, for purposes of payment of fee, is one \\'lllCil represents an actual and a reasonable rearrangement of the obligations of the applicant satisfactory to the office at Ottawa, or other stiitable scheme of arrangement in ac- cordance with the provisions of the Act. N0 fees will be paid in cases in which it develops that the applicant is ineligible to submit a pro- posal, not being a farmer within the meaning of the Act, or in any case where it develops that the debts of the farmer are actually not beyond his capacity to pay. _ _

Under the new arrangement, the Official Receiver is obliged to pay all expenses.

It is hoped, according to a departmental

result in greatly reducing the ‘number 0i cases now before the Board of Review.

The Canadian Boy Scouts

According to the Ottawa Journal, reports to the conclusion of r935 show vigorous growth in the Canadian Boy Scouts’ organization. This in considerable part is due to the financial drive last ycar- headed by Lord BESSBOROUGII. A large number of ivell-to-do Canadians responded very generously in that matter; and the outcome is doing justice to their liberality. The Scout membership of the Association increased nearly 22 percent. in 1935, and stands now at over 80,000. I

The objective which Lord BESSBOROUGH sug- gested was 1oo,o0o by I940. Apparently the fig- ure named will be reached well before 1940.

It must not be supposed, however, that in- crease in Scout membership is a matter of draw- ing in boys, If that were all, the figure of 100,- 000 could be reached in a. month. But no in- crease in Scout membership is permitted by the Association unless there is provision for proper training-and that meansiavailability 0f Cffitllefli Scout leaders. To allow an increase to 100,000 Scoilts from the present figure, it is necessary to find and train more than 3,000 new leaders. ,This is not an easy thing; but the basis of the

-Scout movement is quality, not numbers.

The Scout movement means a great factor for good in the national life. Its vitality and progress in Canada. constitute a Splendid thing; and those who have contributed generously to igwhethei- by money or more greatly by work, should feel well rewarded by what is going on.

Mr. Jvsrm Roman, of Paris, on his return to Montreal after a fur-buying expedition here, told the newspapers there that the fox-breeding industry is progressing by leaps and bounds in the Scandinavian countries. Last year Scandin- avian breeders produced 170,000 first quality skins compared to 350,000 for Canada. Mr. ROTTER forecast that the Scar Q avian produc- tion would continue to increase. .e said he had just purchased 2,350 skins at“ an average price 0f $40 for each skin in Summerside This year's prices were lower than those of last year be- cause, he explained, the decline in price corres- ponded to a decline in the quality of the products due to the too great inildness of last autumn’s weather. He thought that generally speaking prices were on an upward trend away from the bottom prices of i931. '

It is a sign of genius, we are told, to be able gracefully to admit the errors of oiie’s past ways; similarly it is a woman's prerogative to change li‘er mind as often as she seesfit. On both these precedents, Mr. J. P. ltioiicaiv, now giving evidence at Washington's War Post- morten, feels jiistificd in revising his opinions of the wisdom and foresight of the Press. He, away back in early war days, blamed German propaganda, or the “idiocy of newspaper men," for doubts raised in New York during the \Vorld War as to the ability 0f the belligerent nations to repay loans from America. He blushed when a ivar-time cablegrani containing his view was read into the record of the Senate munitions investigation. “I didn't know newspaper men as well at that time as I (l0_llO\V," he said.

When we remember that whet we call drugs are 1n most cases the leaves of the fleld and the roots o1 the ground, all provided by Nature, it may be only natural to believe that they should be used. often and regularly. '

However Osler, our greatest mod- ern physician, stated that he had reduced the number of his drugs to s. total of 15, that he thought he would soon have the number down to 4. and perhaps, 1f he lived long enough, he would use no dniea at all.

However every thinking physician and every thinking layman recog- nizes that there are time; of ex- trerne need for powerful drugs- strychnlne or digitalis for a fast falling heart and morphine for un- bearable pain.

What about all the other drugs commonly used for headaches, rheuinat‘ pains, palns of stomach ulcer, to ‘correct eonstlpatfon, to prevent diarrhoea

‘mere isn't any question but that a headache powder, some baking soda for the stomach, and the usual remedies for diarrhoea are helpful and harmless when used for short. periods. It 1s considered better to use the drug than to have the whole nervous tone of the body lowered by the depressing effects of the pain.

.Then of course there are simple tontcs containing tron, phosphorus and lime that put these body build- lng materials into the blood and tis- sues direct, instead of trying to get them by eating largo quantities of food with no appetite and a poor digestion.

However what ls wrong 1s the habit so many have acquired of drugglng themselves regularly and often for slight headaches, consti- pation and other little disturbances, falling to realize that Nature wlll correct conditions 1f given the least chance. What caused the headache? Eating too fast: or too much; eye- stratn? Why not correct the cause? What caused the “gas" pains 1n the stomach or intestines? Certain foods that you know cause 1t? Why are you constipated, Is 1t no exercise; not enough fruit and vegetables?

——When Nathalla Crane was n little girl of nine she wrote a book of verse called “The Janitors Boy." The critics professed to be puzzled by such precoslty and the public straightaway took to calling her the child poet laureate. Nathallirs book was published when she was 10 and the sale ran into the tens of thousands . . In 1931 she entered collage and. It seems. pledg- ed herself not t0 publish any poetry until she had completed her course. She kept this, pledge but continued to write all the while. In four years of college, 1t 1s said, she wrote about 300 poems. And now that she 1s finished with educa- tion, she means to publish again. She also means to read her poems tn public. She began her platform career on Thursday, speaking to a. national conference of Camp Fire Girls. She said then 1n answer to a. question: I have lost track of the janitor’; boy. He moved away and I have never seen him. Yes. indeed. I should know him lf he turned up. Perhaps he will. Well, perhaps he will. Now that Miss Crane is 21 and done wlth college and ready to publish books again, 1t would doubtless be very pleasant to have the jimitorfls boy turn up.
