By Leo V. Nolan, C. S. V. IV.- The First White Settler Noel LeVasseur was born in a rude log cabin at St. Michel d'Yanas ka, ..... anada, on Christm as night, 1799. His parents w er e poo r and illiterate and 1'10el's education was largely acquired in the primitive country a round St. Michel. Ther e he became p r oficient in wood-craft, which was to become his means of earning a livelihood in later life. At the age of s ixteen, he enter ed th e service of one Rochebloue who had come to Canada from the Tilinois country for the pur pose of securing courageous, enterpris ing men to go into the W est and trade with the Indians.

Speaker Names Factors TH E In Japan's Rise LIBRARY LOG The P.ev. James- A- Magner, Ph. , D., S. T . D., of Qu1gley Preparatory Seminary, threw a bomb shell at American ideas of world superiority when he addressed the International Relations Club last month. ''If Japan continues her present rise" , he declared, "the time is not far distant when she will be the largest and most important country in the world. Already she is vieing with England for industrial supremacy. The secret of this rise lies in the secret of knowing how to produce an equally high grade of goods, (as compared with the production of other cou ntri es), at a lower sales price". Despite popular disbelief, Doctor Magner insisted, the J a.panese a.r~ not a hostile people. Their recent aggressions were grounded upon necessity. "The world", he saiu,' ··na.~ closed its doors upon c.nese people". He pointed out that nalions prohibit Japanese immigratlon, that many foreign industries refuse to sell to Japanese concerns, and to buy their manufactured products. Because of these ci r cumstances, Japan has been forced to seize, by force, sources of raw rnalerials and markets. "A great Japanese plutocrat class", he explaioed, "controls the destiny of the nation. The government has orga.nlzed a planned and stabaliZed production which lends itself to the control or the ri ch. And where necessary, the government grants su bsidities to manufacturers". Doctor Magner pointed out that t.he Japansese as a people are in no way Inferior to the r est of the world. While lhey have always taken their culture from t....nina, yet their pr.:>g r css is a.'l great, and their standards of literacy, mentality, esthetic appreclation, and living in general are equal to all of the leading nationa. In this regard, the speaker d lighted th e a udl ence with accounts of his own experiences among the J apanese people. He co ncluded by inslsllng that the
Fathe r Munsch has s tarted an Illtens:tve drive to place as many Shaw-Carnegie books as possible on the library shelves this year. The Shaw-Carnegie list contains fourteen thousand titles and has been complied on the r ecommendation of two hundred teachers, librarians and other advisers. The accr editing agencies like to see a fair representation of these titles in all college lib raries. The services of an excellent book scout have been procured to run down these titles fo r our library. In a r ecent exchange of book3 with several book setlers the College Library has been enriched by seve r al valuable additions. The Li br ary has acquired two valuable books: autographed copies of the Poe ms : 1914-1919 by Maurice Baring and Saints and ussex by Sheila Kaye Smith. The sales of the Book Mart have been falling off lately, but perhs,ps, this is to be expected before the holidays. We would urge the students to look over the table of splendid offers for there is an opportunity here of picking up some classical and standard items at very low prices. We cannot find an adjective that wiH adequate ly describe a student who takes a book off the r efe r ence shelf and carries it to his room. Permanent r efer e n ce books s uch as Encyclopeclias, Dictionaries, and Atlases, may not be taken frOm the Reading Room. The mer e taking of such a book is not the point we wish to make, but ·- is rather the selfish• motive behind it, the deIs 0 f · th priving of someone e e usmg th: book, and the great danger of book being lost. We ask the cooperation of a ll students in keeping these books on the shelves and under no circumstan ces of taking them out. Two more volumes of .1.ne At!anti c 'M onthly, volumes 23 and 24 have been picked up. Books are being bought for the
