Rut, he emphasized this did not mean the new municipal administration building could be constructed in the near future.

He noted that there weie many intangibles involved in future planning: the international situation, (ivil defence needs and so on.

The three old houses, while in iieedof repair are still in pretty good shape after nearly 40 lonely gears on Saskutoons southern outskirts.

They may come into their own in the relatively near future. Douglas Urges Pi 'ice Controls JT PLANS PREPARED I A floor sket( plan had been piejiarcd by tile city engineeimg department a tew vears ago, he said, but it would be netos-arv to lev isc this jdan completel.v now. 1 propose to have that done within the next year, the commissioner said. Mr. Balfour would Jot hazard a gut'ss on the probable date when construction of a new OG Hall might begin.

But current thinking has it that the project would not likely get underway until about 1951 at the earliest. What about costs? The commissioner said it was pointless to make cost estimates in advance. But, he added, "considering present-day levels, it l' haul to envisage a building that would cost less than $1,000,000. Mr. Balfour introduced another angle at this point.

One can never lose sight of the fact that at various times we have been able to get assistance for Millar Heads Poppy Fund J. B. Millar was elected chairman of the Canadian Legion's poppy fund committee for the timd consecutive year, at the annual meeting Thursday evening in the Legion hall. Other officials named weie: vice-chairman, W. W.

Lambert; treasurer, L. C. Rrown: recording secretary, H. L. Montgomery; executive secretary, Harry T.

Davies; finance, II. G. H. Gilding. Due to Remembrance Day, November 11, being on a Saturday and a statutory holiday not being suitable for a tag day, it was decided that poppy day this year vv ill be on Saturday, November 4 However, because a week will elapse between the tag day and Rdmembrance Dav, tlie committee decided collection boxes would be placed in all the main stores during tiiat time to enable donations bv those who were nu sod on November 4.

About 109 delegates are ex-poctod from the tubs in the legion Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Moose Jaw, Regina and Winnipeg to join another 50 from tlie loial group. Teacher Remote Teacher training Is too remote from the classroom. Dr.

John Ewing of Victoria College, British Columbia, said here Friday. Sjieaking to the Saskatoon Superiniendencies Teachers' As sociation at the wind-up of its convention, Dr, Ewing said that modern teacher training avoided some of the prime factors of the science of education. The longer a teacher taught teachers, the larther away lie got from tlie oituul das' room situation, Dr. Ewing said, lie felt that these teachers should have a wealth of classroom experience behind them and a chance to return to the classroom at intervals. The one factor which is the salvation of teacher training i' practice teaching, he declared, which allowed the student teacher to see the classroom as it actually vvas.

INTELLIGENCE TESTS Intelligence tests had not revolutionized education, rating scales did not present justified conclusions about teachers, and objective tests allowed no room for the application of kimwedge to life. With students writing onlv single words and jditases on ohjeclive examinations tin "level of English began to sink until fodav it is a great deal lower than it was when the tests weie established, he de i lareil. A good teacher should have posessum of basic tc( hmqtics of his profession, hut they had to he Itclovv the level of consciousness, Dr. Ewing said.

And teaching sometime developed in the teacher a social timidity which vvas more evident during the days when teachers had no semblance of professional status. But teaching had two main ad vantages, according to Dr, Ewing. It ojicnccl the way to real ha))iness through virtuosity he said, interpreting Aristotle's hajijiiness accompanies a virtuous activity and it allowed the teacher to see nature as it really was in children, before they grew the olten unreal masks of adulthood.

By GRANT MAXWELL After nearly 40 lonely years on the bald prairie, the Three Sisters are moving into town or rather Saskatoon is moving out to meet them. Year by the postwar residential expansion in east Nu-tana is edging closer and closer to 190(1, 1908 and 1910 York Av-enue.

And a hatch of current rumors has it that tlie area south of Eighth Street on either sjdc oi Clarence Avenue will see moie rajiid development in the near future. So it is that tiie Three Sisters may soon find themselves in the thick of things even if it comes 10 years late. For the benefit of the uninitiated, the Three Sisters are three houses, 2 Vi -storey brick dwellings, built during Saskatoons first real estate and construction boom, back in 1911 ami 1912. They were erected about one-half mile south of Eighth Street, near the intersection ol Albert Avenue and Taylor Street, cast, in the middle of virgin piairie. Today, the picture of decayed respectability, the Three Sisteis are still surrounded by prairie, cxco)t for tlie odd trail and a halt dozen unmodern homes in the near viunitv.

The Three Sisters are legendary now. For years, thousands of Saskatoon youngsters have he- KOUL CREDIT MWIFESTO the recent pointed out, and'the cost of mg lose very little from l'K Inin Another national emergency faces us now he declared. The federal government excuse that it did not have constitutional authority to impose price controls will not bear investigation. Vie said the Gallup poll showed that 75 per cent of the Canadian people wanted price controls, and in a democracy, if three-quarters of the people wrant something, surely they should be able to get it. He urged Saskatchewan people irrespective of their political affiliations, to rally around a concerted dine to have price controls reimposed in Canada.

Only in that way can we prevent a further reduction in our standard of living and a widespread dislocation of our economy. Alexander to Give Lecture William Hardy Alexander, Canadian-born scholar and public speaker, will deliver the second lecture In the Royal Society of Canada lectureships in Convocation Hall here October J8. Dr. Alexander's subject will be The religion of classicism, a study of th; credo of classicism and the manner of expressing that creed in literature. Every religion known to man has been maiked by two what is believed about it b.v its lolloweis its creed in short and also what is clone about it by its worshippers its ritual, Dr.

Alexander has said. This will be found as true lor the religion of classicism as for any other religion. The lecture will, therefore, deal with what classicism believed fundamentally, and next, how in its literature, it expressed that belief, he concluded, explaining the topic he had chosen. Dr. Alexander was professor emeritus of Latin, chairman emeritus, department of classics, University of California from to 1918.

Listed among his academic appointments are positions of protessor of Latin, University of Western Ontario; head of classics department, University of Alberta; dean of Arts and Science, Alberta; and president ol the American Philological Association Irani 1939 to 1938. lie has contributed articles to the professional classical journals and to the Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada. He was elected to the society in April, 193(i and was president ol Section 11 in 1915. lie was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa (Alpha of California). Dr.

Alexander was born in Ottawa, and graduated from the University of Toronto with first class honors in classics. Ho received his masters and doctors degrees in California, and the degree of LL.D. from the University of Alberta on its twenty-filth anniversary in 1933.

Such is the name given to nearly two dozen basement foundations, also built during tlie boom days and long since crumbled away and overgrown with trees anti shrubs.

Whats the story behind the Three Sestets and the Maginot Line? And what about futurt prospects? Piecing the story together iva no easy task. But old-timers like D. S. Gemmell and V. Ashley have been able to recall the main part of the story.

Back in 1911 or 1912, a company including men named Black, Bens and Cook acquired title to (me quarter-section south of Taylor Street and east of Fast-lake Avenue. 'Hie company set out to subdivide the property, built the Three Sisters, nearly finished a bungalow beside them, and dug and cemented a considerable number of basement sites.

7 In the face of recent sharp reductions in farm income and the steady rise in the cost ol living. Premier T. Douglas of Saskatchewan, in a provincial affairs broadcast Fii- iy, called for re-imposition of pi ice controls without further delay. Practically all farm prices weie falling, with the exception of cattle Mr. Douglas said.

Action of the federal government in setting the initial payment for wheat at SI .10 per bushel, rather than at last year's ligure of $175 per bushel, would mean a cut in the income of Saskatchewan wheat growers of about $100.000, 0(H) The other side of the picture was that another jump the ost-of-liing index, to 109.8, had just been announced, Mr. Douglas said. He added As long as the cost of living is allowed to rise unchecked we shall have increasing hardship and further labor discontent. ONLY ANSWER There was only one answer, Mr, Douglas emphasized. Price controls should be reimpo.xed without further delay not only to prevent the cost of living from going any higher, but if possible to roll it back to the same extent, that the farmers prices had been rolled back in order that there may be a fairer relation between farm income and the cost of living.
