The summer of 1928 proved more noteworthy for what did not happen than for what did. Astronomers had us sharpening up our skates in preparation for a return of the ice age. An Owen Sound weather-prophet had us buying tickets for Florida, while a Beaverton soothsayer had us enquiring about the shortest road to Hudson's Bay. And all to what purpose '? A French scientist gave us a revolting picture of the next war, and lliitfsh Israelism came along with the information that this was billed for May 29. By pyramidal measurements they prognosticated famine and pestiknce, wars and rumors of wars, and had people making good resolutions and their wills. But was there any war?

I told him to get over on his own side of the street: I was working this side. liisgruntled politicians vocifcrously assert that business is bad, that the government is handing our birth-right to Uncle Sam, that Canada is becoming an alien country, that we are getting into debt. Soap-box orators chime in with their tirade against existing conditions and in- stitutions and call us spineless jelly-fish in that we do not rebel against tyranny. What actuates this inordinate pessimism 7 ls it that these gloom dispensers are endeavouring to inform the world of impending disaster that it might mend its ways? limpliatically no! They are actuated by selfishness. Dean Inge and Sir Oliver Lodge are the world's best known cleric and scientist. Their l'f'!l'l .sm
