The festive spirit was very much In evidence and all were determined to celebrate with all enthusiasm the Diamond Jubilee celebration. Fred Wesch nd a Ufla Royer shared the dufl of MO. and, caw that all were busy and bsppy. Tne costumea were few but showed a considerable amount of thought and workmanship. Mrs. James Field, representing Canada, was awarded tbe lady's prle. The refreshments, supplied by the I.O.D.E.. were ample and varied. Mrs. W. D.

There were more than local problem! to be conaUered. nd It became evwent to all. that in respect of questions which e common to the welfare of all. concerted action tauai be taken. There was. for example, too question of traiuporutlon.

Is now bound together In one CaniKta, with links of steel. "It must not be thought that the bringing about' of Confederation was an easy task. In the provinces of Quebec nd Ontario, which ware then, as now ha most poaolous protons ot the Dominion, there were two peoplssspeaUng different Itnguagea. and of different racial tnstlncta. Ib can be resitted also, tnat each province would naturally b; jealous of Its, awn Interests and of IU own Important Again, there were considerations o party polities, rubric hita divided on qvesHona of public policy evan they do today, while then, as now, there ware strong perineal ambitions. Oreat oooastons seem to bring forth great men. and so tt was at that time. Let us today da honor to the Fathers of Confederation. The ability of thoe men wtll stand comparison with sny similar body of men of any country of any time, and the courage, the patriot- ln and foresight which the Fathers of Confederation exhibited, are worthy of our greatest regard.

If they are to feel that this country is their country, they must feel on terms of entire equsltty with those who were born In this country, but.

THE SPIRIT OFCANADA Country Has EmerRed From Col onial Dependence to That of 1 Nationhood DIFFERENCES OF RACE Tolerance Prevails Throughout Country so That Differences Ar:Jltlth 5, (By W. L. HackensM King) The dream of the Fathers of Confederation was rsaliaed when the first Parliament of the Dominion of Canada was opened on July 1. 1867. Today, throughput the length and breadth of the land, in confidence and in hope, with thank-illness and with pride, Canada celebrates the Diamond Jubilee of that epoch-marking event. For 60 yean. Canada has remained constant as the Northern Btar to the charter bequeathed to her by the Fathers of Confederation, the 90 years of Confederatkm have seen their vttton given form and body, and achievement carried, in many cases, fsr beyond tbelr dream. These yearshave witnessed the settling and subduing of half a continent and tbe upbuilding of new nation. Sixty years Canada consisted of four isolated provinces In the east, facing an unknown west and an unknown north; today the four provinces have crown to nine, tenfold in area and reaching from to iu The prairie provinces, over which Indian and buffalo roamed, now yield more than twentyfold the wheat grown In all Canada at Confederation; and what was held to be the barren and frown north, rich In unfathomed treasure, Is every day being revealed from Rouyn to Cobalt, and from Porcupine to Flmflon. Nor la even that line tbe northern limit of our endeavor; today Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrols occupy posts as many miles north of Toronto as Vancouver Is distant from St John. IMHMIilAL I'ltOIIKKSS Manufacture have grown flfteeofoM. our railways twentyfold. and our financial and commercial structure equally In scope and complexity. untU today the League of Nations formally ranks the Dominion of Canada as tbe seventh industrial nation of the world. Our trade to the outside world has shown an even more startling Rrnwtn. alike in amount, content, and direction. Our exports of paper made from woodpulp and of motor-cars, articles which did not figure at all In our balance sheet 60 years ago, are alone threefold our total exports of that day; we send to Japan today twice as much as to Oreat Britain than, and twice as much now to ths continent of Europe as then to tl the world. Side by side with these material developments there nas grown a mrrked, if not always even or sustained, development of popular education, advance in the arts, Increased Interest in the world without and contact with Its. latest Engineers Here to Lco After Building of Road Toward Galloway Rapidt Plane America, After Crossing Atlantic Makes Forced Landing IMKls, July Z.
