ini aed fill in the cards con- or questions: ‘Why 1s this registration taking place? This country is at war. It must put forth the ytmost possible effort to accomplish its purpose. That | purpose is the defeat of the enemy. | dn order to do this it must marshal 7 the full forces o fthe nation—all the human, ‘moral, material and spiritual forces of Canada. ; ;

There can be no slacking. We need more planes, tanks amntunition. To produce them we need more men, women, materials, money. The nation /must produce more, spend less, and— to be frank about it—pay more taxes.

Then it is necessary that our young men should be trained for home de- fence. They will be called wp at an early date for a brief period of in- tensive military training.

Yes, we are at war. Registration means simply, organization for great- er effort—for victory. Register early. To answer the question takes only a few minutes’ work if you come pre- pared to answer. Read the questions in this paper and know the answers you have te make before you go to register. Where so many must give their all you will not hesitate in doing your part.

immense

In the light of a good many experiences and examples of recent date!

,one can be pardoned for speculating on the question whether the pro- * prietors and operators of radio stations throughout the country are fully alive to their responsibilities in the matter of the use of the English lang- uage and the pronunciation thereof through their facilities In broaching this topic it must not be forgotten that every English speaking country, in the process of time develops its own speech and its own pronunciation; to the people of other English-speaking countries, it might be referred to as its own idiosyncracies of dialect. In some of the older countries accent and pronunciation have become more or less stabil- ized, but Canada, as a young country, has not yet reac hed this stage. It is in process of formation and when one listens to radio announcers broad- casting the ‘3, one wonders in what direction we are heading The question which naturally sifts through the mind is whether we are developing, in an orderly fashion, a form of speech which will ultimately characteristically and which will eventually be recog- confusion and chaos so extensively listeners to one radio station will

nized as such or are we that time, the find difficulty in understanding the patrons of another

The posing of ‘such a question with its hint of a dire outcome might be regarded in some quarters as levity, yet the implied potentiality is not beyond the range of possibility. One has only to listen to the broadcasts from a number of stations to appreciate the wide variety of accent used for the same word and the great ranges of pronunciation. And this does not refer only to place names of foreign origin which are now plentifully be:prinkled through the newcasts, but it applies with equal force to many Finglish words of fairly common usage

in course of

Uniformity Needed

Theré may be some excuse for variations in pronunciation of the names of foreign towns and cities, but even here, there should be some attempt at standardization and the names should be pronounced in’ such a manner that they can be recognized by the reasonably well educated average lis-° tener. Frequently the name of the town quoted by the announcer jis just a blur to the listener and conveys no meaning.

A writer on this subject in a daily newspaper recently complained that he heard an announcer refer to the town of Cannes, .a popular in, southern France, “Ka,” obviously an attempt ‘to pronounce the name as the French themselves do, but omitting the slight flavor of the letter ‘n’ which the French adopt. The writer's sense of perception must have been quite acute to have enabled him to translate the sound “Ka” as On the other hand the radio announcer who referred to the same “Kan-neese’”’ betrayed the fact that he was not accustomed to mov- informed circles, otherwise he would have used “Kan,” the Anglicised version. In either case, listeners would have had great difficulty in identifying the place. One instance was an example of pedantry, the other of tack of a broad education.

But as already intimated there may be some variations of pronunciation, where proper nouns concerned, but the mispronunciation of English common nouns cannot so easily be condoned, and if the coining of ‘new pronunciations of common English words is to be permitted, let there at least be some standardization, lest there be confusion among the audience

The other day a radio announcer had occasion to use the word “conjure” fn a newscast. The listeners heard it as “Kun-jewer’ with stress on the last syllable intead of the first and such distortion of the last syllable as must have caused the well informed to jeer if not to writhe in anguish.

Leadership Important

What determines correct pronunciation, if it is not good usage? Who should be the source and inspiration of good usage, if it is not the well informed, those with a broad education, not necessarily acquired solely in cloistered walls?

When the use which is now being made of the radio is remembered, -{t should not be overlooked that the radio announcer is wielding a power- ful influence in the development of a characteristic Canadian speech. The form which this speech is going to take is now in the moulding process. While the people themselves, consciously or unconsciously, will determine what form this speech will take, they will depend largely on the leader- -Bhip that is given them. .

If that characteristic Canadian speech, less stabilized, is to be broad. virile and respected, it is important that it be inspired by the right kind of leadership. It should not be pedantic, nor should it be born of lack of knowledge and experience, and above all, if it is to be crystal- it should not be subjected to influences that are. widely at

Must Be Well Shod

There Is Nothing Like Leather For Our Army's Boots

The output of Canadian shoe fac- tories has been stepped up to such an extent that now. every week 30.- 000 pairs of solid leather boots for the Army, the Navy and the Air Force are delivered to the Depart- ment of National Defence war-

The exigencies of modern fare have not eliminated marching The Canadian soldier, in order to

stand up under rigid drilling, while in training, and more strenuous foot- work in the lines of battle, must be well shod. Each pair of these 30,000 manufactured every week for the armed forces has passed rigid tests Whether he was a miner, a surveyor or a farmer, the recruit is issued with a pair of boots as strong as he ever wore

A plant visited in Montreal typical of shoe factories in the Do- minion which are working feverishly to look after the needs of the army. There, as in other plants, the faint tap, tap, tap, of the ancient cobbler has become a roaring: hum of num- érous machines, each doing its job at lightning speed. .The maximum out- put of this factory is 600 pairs df boots a day. It employs 350 work- ers. 40 per cent. of whom are wo- men. To date, it has delivered 55,- 000 pairs to the Department of De- fence.

In huge work rooms the infantry- man's heavy boots are born of sheets of solid cowhide leather. The casing is solidly nailed and bound to a sole half an inch thick, reinforced with steel blades. Brass tacks are sunk into the sole and the heel. The lat- ter is finished off with a solid steel plate. The Canadian tar’s boot varies little from the army's. Hooks sup- plement lace holes. <A_ waterproof tongue and waterproof canvas inlay adapts it to Navy conditions. The airman’s shoe is lighter, being made of calf leather instead of cowhide. The sole has no steel reinforcement and the heel is of rubber.

These shoes are of thoroughbred stock; bearing the Government stamp of approval. They will prove su- perior to any Ersatz product the Germans can paste together.

Protection Of Game Animals . Regular Patrols Carried Out Prince Albert National Park Wild life is thriving in Prince Al- bert National Park, Saskatchewan, according to observations made by the park warden service during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1940. All species of animals appear to be in a healthy condition, with many of the smaller kinds; particularly rabbit, squirrel. muskrat, beaver, and weasel, showing notable increases in numbers. Big game animals ob- served in the park during the year included elk, moose, deer, caribou, and bears. Other species noted were badger, coyote, fox, mink, otter, por- cupine,. skunk, wolf, and lynx.

The conservation and protection of the wild life in the park continued to be one ofthe primary functions of the warden service, which carried out regular patrols to ehsure the protec- tion of the game animals and to col- lect information concerning the num- ber and condition of the wild life population. Control measures includ- ed the snaring of wolves and coyotes, and the trapping of a number of bears which because of their mis- chievous habits had become a nuis- ance in the vicinity of Waskesiu, the park townsite. Thesé latter animals were released in other localities.

The amazing feat of putting an untamed wolf into dog-team service was reported by one of the wardens. While making his patrols by dog-sled last winter, this warden came across a female wolf caught in a snare, and “as the going was rather heavy for his four dogs he decided to draft the services of the wolf. With some dif- ficulty he muzzled the .animal and hitched her with the dogs, and con- tinued the journey despite the wolf's protests and attempts to bolt. On reaching his cabin that evening, the warden chained the wolf up and gave her the same food as the dogs. She soon became reconciled to her new

role, and was driven with the dogs)

permitted to enter freely without im- migration restrictions, and while they are here they are treated as wards of the government. But this form of guardianship is not entirely satisfac- tory to them. It was their petition to Congress for a change in the relief law, to permit them to work on PWA projects, now closed to all but | citizens, that revealed to mest of us their presence here. |

It is impossible not to be at least a little surprised at the trades they follow. Nearly all the men are quali- fied structural steel and iron work- | ers, which is certainty a long way | from aboriginal pursuits. Indeed, they are said to have a speccial ap- titude for this work, a lack of any sense of helght or fear of falling.

One Great Difference

Britain Improves Colonies For People But Germany Never Has

A correspondent of a_ Detroit paper remarks that he has found the Germans, prior to this war, grabbed 259,000 square miles of territory, so that makes him anti-Nazi. But the French, he said, grabbed 5,356,000 ‘square miles and that makes him anti-French. And the British helped | themselves to 13,157,000 miles and so that makes him anti-British. So his conclusion is that makes him anti the United States entering the war. ~

The gentleman's figures are opep to challenge, betause the German colonia] empire before the last war was over 1,000,000 square miles, and his figure for the British “grab” in- cludes the entire Empire, most of which is not grabbed at all but self- governing. such as Canada, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa, while other parts, such as India, have limited auton- omy. And a great deal of the British Empire was not won by conquest at all but by the right of discovery, and sometimes by request of the na- tive peoples who wanted what might now be called “protective occupa- tion.”

But the real point of difference be- tween British and German colonia! administration is what the respective | governments did with the lands. Bri- | tain has never taken over any coun- try without improving the lot of the people immeasurably and raising | their social and economic status. .Ger- | many's method was almost surely | exploitation for the benefit of the/ Reich, and not long before the last war there was a nauseating revela- tion of how African natives were beaten, tortured and even killed, their homes and villages destroyed, because they were not producing |raw mgterials fast enough to satisfy | their masters. |. That is something to be considered in deciding whether a neutral should ‘be anti-British._St. Thomas Times-
