New Gardens Developed
On NIAGARA Peninsula

FORT ERIE. Ontario, Sept.
7.-Dedication of Mather Park by
Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Ontario's
Minister of Highways, added an
other colorful link to the chain of
beautiful gardens maintained by
the Niagara Parks Commission along
the Niagara Peninsula.
Named after Alonzo Mather OF
Chicago and Los Angeles, who do
mated the land for the park and
also more than $4,000 for its de-
velopment, this new addition to the
chain of Victoria Park and Cakes
Garden Theater at Niagara Falls,
Ontario. and the famous rock gar
dens at Hamilton. is at the Canadian
terminal of the Peace Bridge from
Buffalo and is said to be one of the
most beautiful series of formal gar
denS in the world.
Approached from the bridge
through the Mather Gate, beau
tiful sculptured stone arch that cost
$4,000, the first planting is a large
Sunken garden. Close by is a traf-
fic circle more than 300 feet in
diameter planted with 10000 rose
bushes and bordered with non
perennial plant varieties arranged
to be in colorful bloom from early
spring until late fall. The circle
is Illuminated at night by low in
direct lighting which accentuates its
color.
Other gardens in the park are
planted with various combinations
of flowers that will be almost con-
tinually in bloom.
The park also marks the southern
terminal Of the new Queen Elizabeth
way, Ontario's new 91-mile super
express highway from Fort Erie to
Toronto.

RETURN OF THE FLU?

At time when sickness in various parts of the nation and Alaska is making us wonder whether there might be something to the dire predictions of an influenza cycle coming round again, it is en- couraging to find that the health of the average American apparently better in 1940 than it ever was before.
 With an al-time low death rate of 766.8 per 100000 for the January October period and an Oc- tober mortality rate approxmating the previous low record for the month the year is expected to close with the favorable mortality experienced, according to large insurance company which bases its encouraging forecast the death reports from it's millions of industrial policy holders.
 "In the general population" the report states sickness from poomyetis and typhoid fever showed the usual seasonal decline during october. The cases of scarlet fever dphtheria and smallpox much more numerous in October than in Septem- Der but all considerably below the figures for October 1889. Influenza, measles and whooping cough were more prevalent in October 1940 than in either September of this year October 1889"
 Whether the general death rate for the full year will drop below that of the record low mortality of 1938 will depend very largely just how much damage the flu germ can do in the remaining few weeks of the year.

Statehood for Alaska

(The Salem, Indiana, Repubican-Leader)
 Commenting on the two-to-one vote in favor of statehood (says the Indianapolis Star editoraly) Congressional Delegate Anthony J. Dimond of Al aska states his Territory much entitled to state hood and will beat Hawaii and Puerto Rico to be- come the 18th state.
 MT Dimond could add that the vote in Alaska would probably be 100 percent in favor of joining the sisterhood He might also add that Aaskans, in general, have better understanding of our Ameri- can theories of government than have the residents of any other territory"
 From personal observation of the editor it would seem there is no argument as to which territory should be chosen the 18th state The Alaskans are intelligent aggressive, self-reliant, and have fine conception of government.
 Their intelligent conception of self government, if given the opportunity, is practical evidence of the time comes.
 The small population of white Americans Qess than 35OO0) seems to preclude any immediate bid for statehood but local government by these good Americans, who understand well their Terrtor ia problems is not only desirable, but peremptory, if they to prosper and expand.
 We, who spent fortnight in the peninsula and along the inland passage, met their leaders and the people themselves will all agree they high type of American citizens, who will work out their destiny, and do good job of it, unless govern- mental interference strangles them.

Saionji and Japan
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 When Kimmochi Saonji born in l849 Japan was closed country still living in the fairyland Of it's medieval traditions Recently he died at 9l the last of the elder statesmen, the last member of the famed Genro leaving a Japan sunk deep in war, economically crippled and heading back toward a state of affairs resembling the kind of society and government from which Saonji helped it rise.
 The transformation of Japan, after Perrys visit in 1853 was mostly accomplished in the reign of Emperor Meji grandfather of the present ruler. To advice him in modernizng the country Meiji formed an unofficial council of statesmen and nobles called the Genro Its word came to be almost the law.
 Saionj studied in Paris and absorbed western democratic traditions After years of successful states manship he was named to the Genro in 1916. He made more than 20 premiers of Japan and twice held the post himself. The prince a progressive force. But advancing years dulled his enthusiasm His memory wandered back to the old days. He lost faith in the ways of the west. The army-stin the Samurai at heart-gained the upper hand and tooh Japan along the road back.
 History may record-waiting on the outcome of Japans adventures in Asia-that Saionjis life ran parallel with the rise and fall of modern Japan He was in his day great statesman. He died tired, old Japanese.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not cOmpe"
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10

This is not an important day in planetary direction. It may be ad- verse for men who exercise au- thority, for there may be rest lessness and dissatisfaction among employees. Pluto is adverse.
 Heart and Home: Holiday plan ming is under the best possible di- rection of the stars Great gener- osity is to be manifested in Am erican aid to war victims This is a fortunate sway for whatever affects the family and is lucky for the boys in training camps. The seers declare that a new na- tion is evolving through the stress of world affairs College students will greatly benefit this year.
 Business Affairs: After the holi- day season which is to be good for trade there will be business readjustments that include novel innovations. Science is to be ap- piled more and more to merchan- dising and distribution. New mar kets are to bring profit to motion pictures as well as to manufac- turers of machinery Canada is to become a better customer than ever before.
 National Issues. Reforms in mu- nicipal government will be widely advocated Underworld activities will become linked with fifth col- umn campaigns which are to ex- tend in many novel ways. An ac- cident due to sabotage will arouse widespread resentment and cause Congress to encourage extreme measures for dealing with ene- mics of society Fingerprinting Of all residents of cities and even of the general population will be widely recommended The time has come when liberty is to be appre- ciated, or withdrawn. t
 International Affairs: The stars that are read for forecasts con- corning 1941 seem to indicate the downfall of the dictators. The Feb ruary mutation is interpreted as promising the gradual decline of the power so ruthlessly attained by force. Each dictator will meet de- feat in a different way. Death will remove one dictator despite his precautions to safeguard himself Grave economic conditions will start the bad luck of the tyrants this winter, although loss of power may be slow.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair good luck, but there may be mis- understanding in the homes oi many.
 Children born on this day prpb- ably will be able to enjoy life through industrious effort. They may be interested in horticulture or agriculture.

The base week of the Amalgamated is 35 hours. But 12-hour day Is a normal one for Hillman, and it's rare Sunday when he doesn't spend at least a few hours at desk. Some years ago, in the midst of bitter organization battle in Philadelphia, he was ordered to a hospital for an operation. Four hours after he emerged from the ether he held a council-of- at his bedside.
 Ordinarily calm and unruffled, Hillman has two violent aversions unauthorized strikes and Com munism. He has fought them re- lentlessly throughout his career, with the doctrine that labor must be industry conscious" Hillman believes in helping industry to op- crate efficiently and prosperously so that labor can demand a greater share of the profits.
 We cannot ask from industry more than it can afford to give" he says. That's a Communistic practice-to disrupt an industry, When labor does that it defeats it. self"
 HILLMAN AND KNUDSEN
 Several months after Hillman had been appointed to the Defense Con- mission, his fellow member William Knudsen, former General Motors Motors boss and another one-time immigrant boy, remarked admir- ingly, Sidney, you know as much about business as I do" ] Well, ought to know something about it, Bill,' was the quiet an- swer. My union owns and oper- ates two banks and several large low-cost housing projects for our members, and we collaborate very closely with factory owners in reg ulating the industry
 Hillman also might have added that as head of this large organi- zation he received a salary of ST. 500 year-less than a third of that paid Lewis and about one- twelfth of Knudsen's check Copyright, 1940, by United Feature Syndicate, Incl

unbeatedable Lewis that have won Hillman the deserved reputation of being the most astute strategist in organized labor, and that have built the Amalgamated Clothing Workers into one of the six most powerful unions in the country.
 Old Amalgamated associates are fond of the story of Hillman com- promise that 23 years ago won the fledgling union it's first major wage victory.
 The union. only one year old, had gone on strike for more pay and after a costly fight the employers finally agreed to arbitrate. A neu tral chairman was appointed, and he opened the meeting by bluatly asking the employers, Well, what's your offer?"
 After a hurried huddle they an- nounced, hesitatantly. "A one dol lar raise"
 Well take it." snapped Hillman with a suddenness that made the employers blink It also caused some of the union officials, later, to question Hillman's judgment They said that If he had held out, more might have been obtained.
 "Yes. we probably could have got more," Hillman replied, but what good would that have been if it made the shops move to another town where we are not yet organ ized? These shops can't pay more than $1 at present When the boss es can afford more, we'll make them give it.
 BANKER AND BUSINESS MAN
 Hillnlan and his little union have gone long way since then. They got a lot more from the bosses, and they also gave back lot.
 The clothing industry is one of the most stable in the country; the union has never broken an agreement; it has loaned money once $200.000, to towners to keep factories operating; and has volun- tarily. reduced wages when hard times hit
 Fifty-thr years old, slender, with his curly black hair untouched by gray, Hillmau looks and dresses like a conservative business man Nothing about him suggests the tra- ditional labor leader. His one pas sion is work.
 For many years he has fought employers to reduce the work week
