Ono of the holes that will have to be plugged 1n foreign exchange control is the bootlegtgtttg of funds. People can buy Canadian money 1n Detrolit. or any American city at a much tower rate than the charg- es stipulated by- the Government. If a Candalan dollar can be bought for 85 cents or so 1n scme quarters money can be made by manipulat- ing funds so the/t. American money Ls bought through regular cnzinnets and then used to buy Canadian funds through irregular cnaunok". A profit can be shown on the trans- action. It ls difficult to know how much of this irregular buying and selling of exchange 1s going on. It is not always easy to use large sums without. being discovered. but; 1n smaller amounts 1t ls not so easy to check on the transnrtzotts. As the war goes 0n Canadians c1u expect many pronouncement; by which the ruTes wtll be drawn tighter and -t.lg'nter. That lS part: of the so-called economic front.- W. L. Clark, tn Windsor Star.

Police have tried various met/ltods or coplng with the mett- twe of the hit-and-rutt driver and by far the most effective way we have read of is one which has bccn adapted by sereval cities in m: United States. A civlc ordnance requires that every garage trlticlt gets a repairing job to do that. suggests a collision of some kind, however, small, lmmecllnttely must reipot: to Fne pctlice. If they ltave an unsolved ‘titt-and-run case on their hands the police go at once to the owner of the car and ask 111m to gtve an account of his movements at the time of the accident. Garage owners are for- bidden to flx the car and let 1t go until the police give them au- thorlty to do so. Some cities, even quit/c lttrge ones. claim they ltave eliminated the hit-and-rrn diver by bhﬂS system. Drivers who have had collision accidents and a clezt conscience go themselves to the police and rctport. In fact, 1t ti driver does not do so. be casts suspicion on himself’, 1t the-re 1s any outstanding case unsolved. - Stratford Beacon-Herald.

s The smallest. territorial province in Cattada, Prince Edward Island. has ever been 1n some res ts the most. exemplary of our n e prov- lnces. Its discoverer. Jacques Car- tier (1534) named 1t Isle St. Jean. The native Indians had a poetic name. Abegwelt. nteisning "lying like a leaf on the water“; and for long, "Garden of the Gulf" has been linked with "The Island." as those abroad who were born there name it in conversation. A little book, “Tales of Abegwelt," by B. Brcmtter, will give you every one 0f the Island's place-names with or- igins attd meanings. Its hlsto ls well known through many writers including Archivist Harry and Mal- colm Mncqucen (in "Skye Plo- tteers"). . _ _

Here come-s n book on "The Sel- kirk Settlers and the Church They Built at Belfast." (Presbyterian Publications. Toronto.) The au- thor, Ada Mticbeod Putnam. has Lero written the history of St. John's Church-for Selkirk gave the land-and also an intcrcstittg sketch of the settle- ment. Her book will be welcomed by all who have even a remote connection with P. E. Island. Her motto suits the Church on the hlll: "Beautiful for situation. the joy of the ivliole earth ls Mount. Zion." Her Selkirk Setttlers are the same typt- of Scots as those of the Rod River. The frontsplece 1s a picture of St. John's Church, tmcl there are portraits, full page. of nine successive ministers, but none of this first, though there 1s one of hls wife

One o! Sclkirks men went back 1o Scotland and told his country- men that P. E. Island was an earthly paradise, everything there that they needed to build homes: also that the Indians were Chris- titti< and that "a bear hunt was the best sport ln the word" Such a snt-cossfttl agent was he, that Selkirk gave hint 200 acres for himself, but he gave the colony 87.000 ncres. The life of these ptotteers is described, and the cau- tioitﬂry typs of Scot. "How are you Sandy?" "Oh. I can't. complain,” Ssndv not. too uplifted. Or, "Fine weather. Donald." "Aye, lt, might be tvorse, but it won't last." Praise ivzts stiai-se lest it. spoil the young: "You'll never be like your grand- ntotlter."
