Arthur Uebler, hotel veteran way down in Tavistock, Ontario, has just been .saying he recalls when one could buy 24 ounces of whL-ky for 24 cents; $11 lor a room and meals for a month, and mc.st folks figured 24 cents pretty steep for a .square meal. AS IT LOOKS Dead-Letter Laws HERE in the parliament of Canada the lawmak .- IS i.-T-.v .a? A grisly business, this execution debate. Hansard Is full of It, and the subject will not be dismissed. In other words, when you murder, with mali.-e aforethought, and a trial dead ahead, watch out for more trouble. That's about all we are sure of as the situation stands today. ers are revising the Crim-i inal Code. One of the1 most contentious ques-j tions is: Will the laws be! relaxed re gambling findj lotteries? i But meantime in downtown . Ottawa a service club puts on periodical "Monster Nights." Last week some seven or eight j thousand people gathered in a giant arena in this eapital city t.nd played what used to be ! called bingo. The prizes included two auto- i mobiles and many other valu-! able rewards. One astonished j lellow even won as much silver coin as lie could carry off the! stage in a bag. In the capital of Canada there j Winter sports In the shape of hockey and beaming sunshine.

But there is one little obligation that should iot be overlooked. This concerns the Christmas eals distributed by the Roroptimist Club to aid in he fight against tuberculosis. Aecording to members of the club, returns from hese seals have been poor. Of a total of 2,500 resi-lents to whom the seals were sent, 1,1500 are still ;o be heard from. Most of these are subscribers vvho, In past years, made their contributions ro-igiously. In fact, all of the 800 new arrivals to Prince Rupert many of them from other counties who were added to the list have come through landsomely. As a result of the failure of many to reply, ?ontributions received total only $2,200, compared 'o $2,900 which the campaign netted last year. If . we consider the great benefits which this noney makes possible, and the small individual expense involved, it is clear that the appeal deserves i;o meet with better response. The Roroptimists included two sheets of the stamps, in each envelope they sent out. Although the price per sheet was given as one dollar, they will be happy to receive whatever one cares to give. The address is Soroptimist TB Seal Committee, Box 135. Try to get that much-needed contribution off now.

One guchi corridor, itfis suggested, would run fro"mipciint on the Lynn Canal in territory Canada once thought her own. It seems that when the US.. boiigB&'Alaslti from' Russia for $200,000, the maps were a it ojbscure, in spots. After the Yukon gold discovery, - disputes I arose. Britain, handling" such things for us then, decided to refer the issue to "six impartial jurists of repute." Canada named A. B. (later Sir Allan) Aylesworth and Sir Louis Jette, but President Roosevelt appointed Elihu Root, Henry Lodge and George Turner, all top-rank politicians. The commission met in London and chose as chairman Britain's Lord Alverstone, who sided with the American idea of a 500-mile "panhandle" along the B.C. coast and well inland. As one U.S. work records it "Canada loisfc the! seaceast? Aylesworth' and Jette refused to sign what the former termed "a grotesque travesty of justice." But when he addressed the Canadian Club here he said it would be too bad if resentment were to weaken Canada's ties with the British Empire. So we took our medicine and now have to ask for a passage to the sea. The Telegram dealt adequately with the boundary dispute at the time, and a half-century later it can only reflect that the so-called adjudication at least left Canada waterpowers now found valuable, with which to bargain, if necessary.
