BRIDGEWATER, Eng., Nov. 30 0 These Bernard Shaw opinions of the essential qualities or a successful mayor were read at a mayoral meeting here; "The scope of a mayor Is infinite. It cannot be summed up In three qualities nor in three thousand. A mayor can do more tharia prime minister hampered by the party system. A municipality with a real live mayor and an able town eierk in three months can do more than Parliament in 30 years." BONE-BUILDING MINERALS Shellfish contain as much calcium, and more magnesium and phosphorous, than an equal weight of milk. Miner decided to check up on migratory habits of these birds. The work is to be carried on through the Jack Miner Mlfya-tory Bird Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded in 1932. The Miner bird sanctuary was deeded to the Foundation several years ago which means that it can never be sold or mortgaged, thus assuring that the work of Canada's great naturalist will be continued.

Centenarian Member By DOUGLAS AMARON Canadian Press Btaff Writer LONDON, Nov. 30 CD Ble Will Thome, amiable and aged, hopes to live to be Britain's flriJL cen tenarian member of parliament. There are only 13 years to go and no reason why I shouldn't make It," he said as he cele brated his 87th birthday. Then he added with a touch of his sly humor: "I'm very healthy, and very careful about crossing the road." Will Thome, who takes Turkish baths to keep his weight below 225 pounds, has been Labor M. P, for the Plaistow division of London's Weft llarn for 38 successive years. There is talk of younger blood In the Commons at the next parliament, but if Labor will have him Thome will atlll be there. "I shall stand again If they want me," he told. "If the Tories like to come along with a rival all well and good. I like a good scrap and -the majority will be enormous for the Labor party." Thome Is a "character" of the Commons. He carries a football referee's whistle which he sometimes blows to call noisy members to order and his lively interjections at question time have become almost a part-of parliamentary procedure. He rose from humble surroundings and in his political fights for the working class has never -forgotten his own early days. He began work at the age of six In a Birmingham rope factory, earning the equivalent of 50 cents a week. "My father had been killed and as I was the eldest of four children I had to help support the family," he told a reporter on his birthday. "So I never went to school. "Instead, every Wednesday, I went to the relief officer and got four loaves of bread and four shillings one for each of us. There was not so much talk of social security in those days." Aided Gas Workers ' Typical of his labor experi ences was the heup he gave to gas workers In forming a union In 1889. He gathered 8CO workers together on a piece of waste land in a London suburb, collected pennies in a bucket and formed a trade union that within six months reduced working hours from 12 to eight a day. Thome was secretary of that union for 54 years. Here are some birthday ob. servations of this popular, heart' rabor member: "End of the war: "I lost a small bet on this because I thought it would end September 26. It will still end before the end of the year I hope." Treatment of Germany: "Maybe we shall have a sort of government official answerable to the cablncU Installed in every district of Germany to watch over things. Yes, it will take a lot of officials. But then, we have a lot of officials, haven't we?" Hitler: "He won't be taken alive. 'No years of internment or exile for him. Probably commit suicide. Shooting or poisoning." House of Commons: "We're better behaved these days. More gentlemanly. Not like the old days when you could expect a good bust-up, a bit of throwing out and plenty of life and vigor. Maybe we have been too busy concentrating on -winning the war." SEPTEMBER BIG MONTH September was a month of heavy fighting on all parts of the western European front.

"They're my Malta Still George Cross Island, Once Most Ilombcd, (Jets Slowly Hack to Normal I VALETTA, Malta, Nov. 30 Adit Is two years since bomb3 fell on Malta almost three years since it had a really heavy raid but this capital still shows splenty of signs of the battering it took when Malta was the most bombed spot In the world. The war has moved away from the' George Cross Island now, and the little post which for so long was a running sore eating Into the Axis war strength has become largely a staging post for R.A.F. Transport Command planes which blanket the Mediterranean area on their runs. . Malta has cleared up the worst of her debris, but there is much yet to be done. Entire blocks re main mere heaps of debris, others have walls nartlv stand - ing around gutted interiors, and hardly a house falls to show some signs of war. Every building is still minus at least a few. windows, because class Is one of those thlnix thp I Maltese haven't got around to replacing yet. Outside the city herds oi goats "are beginning to reappear in the fields, but other cattle are scarce and it will be a long time yet before Malta regains her normal livestock population. Those who passed through the long blockade tell grim stories of the island that wouldn't quit stories of an entire people liv ing-for months on supplies equivalent to 42 percent of the army field ration; stories of life in Valetta without electricity, fuel, gas, water or heat; stories of hope springing up with the arrival of a provision ship that; managed to get through the aerial blockade, and of the disappointment when the ship was sunk at her berth before she had been unloaded. , Now the war has moved away from Malta, and most of the fighter squadrons that had many Canadian aces in their personnel during the critical period, have gone elsewhere But there are THE DAILY NEWS THAT ground crew."

St W "CLOTHES OF X ESKIMOS PRAISED Army Air Force Padre Served More than Three Years In Far North FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Nov. 30 CP) After nearly three years amongst the Eskimos in Canada's Northwest Territories, Rev. Robert J. BlasioHl, 30-year old Roman Catholic prleat, is convinced that "morally, the Eskimo is the best in the world." The tall thin priest, member of the Oblate Order, believes that the full-blooded Eskimo fundamentally is honest, truthful and law-abiding and, when converted, practises his religion faith fully. He is degraded to a great extent, however, by association with the white man outside. "The Eskimo doesn't know what a lie is," Father Biasllolli rays. "He would never take anything that didn't belong to him. He Is obedient and respects the orders of the tribe leader, the eldest person, to the last letter." Native of San Ontonio, Texas, Father Biasiolli was ordained in 1938 and, given a choice of going to the Philiripjnes or the Northwest Territories, chose to live among the Eskimos. He now is a chaplain, with the rank of cap tain, serving out-of-the-way bases of the Alaskan Division, United States Army Air Force. After His choice for his life's work was made, the young priest flew up to Chesterfield Inlet, on the west coar-1; of Hudson Bay, in an old German Junkers plane. From Chesterfield Inlet Jie travelled north by dog team tb Repulse Buy and then on to Pel- ly Bay. His only contact with the outside world was three years later when he made a 1,300-mile trip, by dog team to Chjirchill, Manitoba. He started in February and arrived in May. It was then also that he discovered his country had been at war nearly six months. He Joined the services two months later. He learned to speak the Eskimo language In one and a half years and today dan speak it fluently. Iie mushed behind his deg team to the various villages and in some of his pilgrimages couldn't see the lead dogs due to terrific winds which swirled the lightly-packed snow "at a light ning rate of speed." "I've seen Eskimos leave their igloos and, although only 10 yards distant fan" to find their! way back. They build an igloo on J the spot and sometimes are 'marooned' for two or three days." One characteristic the young priest couldrit solve was the Eskimo's sense of humor. "They arc always laughing and they think it's a huge joke when a fctlow Erklmo falls on his head or loses his trap lines: A misfortune to them is funny." Father Biasiolli Hipped thn wiles at 160 pounds when he left Texas. He gained 40 pounds bti'' 1 lost, that'and another 20 when he split his hand open while on the trail. He stitched the gash hinn-sclf but Infection set in and his weight declined rapidly. Fresh Local Raw and Pasteurized MILK VALENTIN DAIRY PHONE 657 Girls! I Take My Tip...
