TJ-1URSDAY, 0(7, OBER 18, 1917 PREMIER BORDEN WINS ' 11* ever a leader pul up a slrong and unceasing light that leader is Sir Robert Borden, premier ol' Canada. For months he lias labored almost day and night to bring about a Union Govern- tment lo carry on the war, and thus, avoid an acrimonious political campaign al this serious lime in lhe Dominion's history. Hc has met opposition from men wilhin his own party, and almost a lolal refusal from men on the Opposition to have anything lo do with it. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Thc Liberal leader, refused lo come into such a cabinet. He fell that hc could not accept lhe dictum ol* conscription without first going lo thc people, and, so believing, he did not icel inclined lo join Sir Robert. Only a week or morc ago Sir Wilfrid Laurier tendered his resignation as leader of thc Liberal parly. This opened lhe way for Premier Borden and lhe prominent Liberals favorable to the Union Government idea, and they lost no time in getting togelher' on a "fifty-fifty" basis. Sir Robert announces the retireinent of six of his party colleagues in order to make room for the Liberals: who are to enter the Union Government with Premier Borden at its head. Those retiring are lion. Frank Cochrane, Hon. Sir George Pcr- lcy, Hon. J. D. Hazen, Hon. W. J. Roche and Hon. T. -W, Crothcrs. -3 The people demand that-the mails - shall be carried on Sunday trains. Mails are made-up on Sunday to catch trains leaving on Sunday. Mails are delivered on Sunday from trains to thc post' .ollice, and arc sorted into thc boxes of post ollice patrons. A letter can bc pojstcd on Sunday to go in thc made-up Sunday mail. Lcltcrs and papers can be dropped into a box on Sunday, but letters and papers cannot be taken from a box on Sunday. And ,w.c are not living in lhc Dark Age of religious persecution, cither: Wc arc living in an age of religious indifference and indifference to freedom's rights. Commenting on the situation, thc Greenwood Ledge says: In some parts of B. G. the post offices are bone- tight on Sunday, and box-holders cannot even get in to remove the mail from their boxes. In other parts the box-holders have free access to their boxes on Sundays. ' Two Jaws in lhe same Province. In these bone-tight Sunday post office .towns, iletters can be posted on Sundays by dropping them from the outside into slits"in the building. This should be^stoppcd. If it is wrong or unlawful to take letters out of a box on Sunday, it is just as great an olfense to put letters into one. Even in the prosecution of fanatical and Puritanical laws, consistency should be allowed to remain a jewel. We do.not believe,,in half-way measures. If-the poscoffices, built by1'the people, and for tlie people, are to be locked tight for 24,hours, or more every .week in-order to please the minority, we should then proceed , further and prohibit the writing and posting of letters on Sundays. We should also haye the telegraph and telephone ollices go dark and still on.1-the same day. Surely the clicking of telegraph keys, and the ringing of telephone bqlls has a greater tendency to mar the silent, solemnity of our sacred day, jjnd offend God, than has the turning of a key in the well-oiled hole of a postoflice box. People who have at heart the desire for the greatest good to thc. greatest number are firmly of thc-ppinion that all postofficcs should be open to ihe gene rail public every Sunday, at least for an hour or two, as they are oh legal holidays.

It now transpires lhat Mr. Burrell will retire as minister of agriculture, to take lhc post of secretary of stale under lhe new regime. NOT A SQUARE DEAL Motel* men in the small towns of Brilish Columbia arc facing the hardest proposition any class of businessmen were every forced lo assume. They have, in years past, heen compelled by the people, through their governing body, to comply with certain slringenl conditions- wilh regard lo providing hotel accommodation for thc travelling public. A certain number of rooms 'luul to he provided, and certain regulations had lo bc complied wilh in thc way of service. In tnis way much increased expense was added to hotel men which other business lines did not have to carry. And lhe people, acting as" silent partner, bul compelling thc-other Tellow lo pul up all lhe cosls, graciously demanded a rake-oll", by way of increased licence. Then of a sudden, the people concluded they would not lake lhe rake-oll" any longer, because it was morally bad, and forlhwilh lhcy jumped upon -their former 'partner and, wilh a strangle hold, robbed him of two-thirds ol" his business, and made no provision I'or compensating the partner for the excessive cosls he was put to previously. In our small towns and cities hotclmen have on their hands expensive bar and ollice fixtures, which they have no use for but cannot get rid of under present condilions; lhe communities are about lo lose their hotels through their having to close Iheir doors, and the hotclmen themselves, So far as ,one may-judge from outward appearances* bul little hcadwa'y is being,made in lhc preliminary peace talks in Europe. All the belligerent nations arc attempting" lo save their face, while each is yearning,lor peace. Government leaders continue to talk in public "aI" one 'anolhcr, each holding out for thc maximum yet intimating the possibility of accepting less. Last week German moderates declared lhat Belgium is no longer a serious obstacle to peace, and intimated lhat the real difficulty lies in the Tale of lhe Grcman provinces. The junker element, however, boldly declare that lhere can be no peace based upon the taking ofAlsace-Lorraine- by France. On the other hand, Hon.Lloyd George states as emphatically that Britain will not relinquish her demand* for Alsace-Lorraine while France is prepared to fight with her for it. Politically the outlook does.not indicate any probability of peace this winter. Economically, 'however,' there are many signs -which indicate thejicaiJng^oL-alI_ELiropean^countries^to_ifa m i na conditions. German statesmen make the boast that the Central Powers arc able to hold out.indefinitely ih the matter of food supplies, and they encourage themselves and their people by reports thai Great Britain is rapidly being brought to the point of exhaustion by the U-boats. At the same time, London reports conditions ��������������������������� comparatively good in England, with no possibility of Ihe country.having to sull'er from lack of food.'

C. ��������������������������� A ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1917 " an Canada's Big Army Overseas How Canada maintains her army overseas and how thc multitude of details incident to the pay, allowances and equipment oi' so large a force are handled is a story that cannot fail to be interesting to the people of this country ul the present time. A great deal of uninformed criti-" cism has been directed at the pay branches of the Militia Department both in Ottawa and overseas, but when the facts are examined into it must be conceded that thc diili- cullies that the.se/-organizations have to contend with are enormous, and in dealing with the vast amouni of business that they handle errors and delays must of necessity creep in occasionally. 13ut when one is. made familiar with the, system followed it discloses ilhc fact lhal every possible effort is made to reduce these occuranees to a minimum. There are over three "hundred thousand men from Canada overseas and jt cosls aboul a hundred million dollars a year to pay, feed and clothe them. Provision must be made so that men are able to get money in the field; if a man returns tp England on leave he must be able to secure cash on arrival; and when men go to the hospitals they require a little to spend on themselves", or make remittances. To do all this and have a correct balance at the end of every month entails a mass of careful, exacting work, which is all clone through thc Canadian Pay Ollice, London, Eng., under the, "Minister of Overseas Military Forces, which organ i- zalion i.s ihe outgrowth of, and intimately" connected, with, the Paymaster General's' branch of the Department of Militia in Canada. The .chain of responsibility is unbrok*en throughout. Thc Chief Paymaster makes a requisition for money through the Deputy Minister of Militia for. an -.amount estimated . sufficient- to maintain thc Canadian army for one month, and the Bank of Montreal is instructed to establish a credit to thai extent. The books are balanced monthly and vouchers and receipts must bc produced to cover each expenditure. The central oflice in London responsible to Ihe Department at Ottawa is the Advances - Branch, and as money is paid out of 'this oflice on requisition to the various branches of the service, the ollicers at the head of each branch are in turn responsible. Payments for material purchased are of course made by cheque, and for all amounts of a thousand pounds and over must bc signed by the Overseas Deputy Minister, Ac- ^coTrirtTfht^G'eirera 1 or" ClfitsT^PayjF master, and the voucher made out in triplicate, one to bc sent to Canada, one to be bound and filed and a third for the branch by which the money is spent. Over 4,000 cheques arc issued for this business a month. A similar check is kept of all pay accounts. The man-when paid signs an Acquittance Roll, which i.s a receipt, and these rolls are sent in daily to, the Advance Branch, the Paymaster retaining a copy to forward with'his monthjy statement, Which must balance with lhc amount he received from lhe field cashier. Over 3,000 acquittance rolls are received daily, and there are about (500 advances daily to Canadians in British hospitals and a like number to British in Canadian hospitals. Apart from the regular business of paying the men and settling ac-' counts for material purchased the Canadian Pay Ollice in London has a branch known to the service as "Pay IV but actually a small trust company which takes care of 300,- 000 accounts for the Canadian soldiers overseas, and so complete i.s the system, that reference can bc had to any account on three minutes' notices. It is estimated that there are four million entries a month in this branch which refer to cash payments, assigned pay, separation allowance, promotions and reversions, clothing issued, adjustments or any other financial transactions which may affect the soldier's account. 2- JU [L.S.] CANADA GEORGE the FIFTH, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.

Food control under present, conditions,"is an attempt to" organize the food resources of this, counlry so as tovaid most cllcc- livcly in4hc conduct of thc war.

There is a great-shortage of food' iiKEilrope, and .without importations from America-Europe ' would soon be at the point of starvation. Speaking in thc British House, of Lords in July ,of .this year, Lord Rhondda, thc British food controller, . said that ''four-fifths'of our wheat supplies come from qyerseas; without their supplies we should starve. ,Thc nations of Western Europe allied against Germany during the next twelve months will, require no' less'than 577,000,000 bushels of " wheat, even with thc exercise of the most rigorous economy in its consumption. Canada-and "the United Stales have a wheat deficit of '400,000,000 . bushels in thc amount required from , North Americafqr the Aliics and for European, neutrals.*. lfi The responsibility of ensuring the food supply of Great Britain and our aliics rests; peculiarly -upon Canada and, tlie-Urii ted States.

Canada's food controller's office .is authority for thc statement that enough good food is wasted in Canada every day to feed every, Canadian soldier, who-.has.'gone overseas tp fight for us. Through carelessness-and inefficiency there is wasted in garbage evory year throughout Canada, food kTthe value of $56,000,000, or about $7 per capita of the home population. To this huge sum must be added a large,,though indeterminate, number of millions lost through poor storage, delay hi transportation, and unhygienic surroundings. What;thc grand total would be there are no present means pf .discovering. The important points are thaUthis'waste is needless and preventable. Wasting $7 worth of food per year means a daily waste of only 1.92 cents per head. Without doubt, larger crops, better distribution, closer buying on the part of the housekeeper, more careful preparation 'and more thorough utilization of our food-stuffs, would not only correct this waste, but would appreciably reduce thc actual cost of living very considerably.- It is estimated that the yearly loss in Canada due to unsuitable storage of fruits and vegetables Is no less than $1,000,000. A merchant was felling an experienced-sales? man.about his .business being: bad. j"There?s one of my competitors down the Street in the same line of business," said he," "whose store is not7 as modern as mine, bill hc docs more.business lhan I do.

And not a few arc going to pit their crop and take a chance. . It might be well for these growers to read the last crop reports issued hy the Dominion Department of Agriculture and also the words of MivW.'E. Scolt, deputy minister of agriculture at Victoria. The estimates just issued by the Dominion department of Agriculture, indicate that, wilh possibly one exception, all provinces in Canada this year wi,ll have a considerable surplus over and above the average consumption. ". The estimated acreage is 50,085 morc than last year, and 20,400 acres morc than the average for five years (1910-14.) It is too early to estimate the yield, but the present indications are that the yield per acre will be above the five year average, notwithstanding the fact lhat blight and recent frosts have caused some injury in a few sections. Speaking of the outlook in British Columbia for higher prices, Mr. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture, says: "The surplus in this Province will be considerable under the best possible conditions. There is apparently very ' little chance of any market in the United States. To meet the provincial conditions I would strongly impress upon all potato growers the wisdom of adopting the following policy: That no potatoes be sold to the consumer through the ordinary channels of trade, of less lhan three ounces in weight,, good, sound stock, free from rot and scab ;that a careful selection of potatoes be. made, suitable for next year's seed; that all small potatoes unsuitcd for table���������������������������use be fed to slock at, or close to, the place of production; lhat only graded," well- es on the Be^t Merchandise THESE GOODS ADVERTISED BELOW AND WHICH WERE PURCAHSED.

Abandoned buildings, schools & makeshift camps, these are the places thousands of kids call home in
#Iraq today.
As the suffering in Iraq continues, Hillary Clinton continues to pursue the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. Yesterday, AFP reported "[t]hat the FBI has formally confirmed it is investigating Hillary Clinton's private e-mails."
Anyone remember the summer of 2008?
John Edwards fleeing to a bathroom and hiding there?
Having fathered a child out of wedlock (and while married to another woman) was enough to make sleazy Edwards hide his face in shame.
But Hillary?
Take the shame, Hillary, take the shame.
This isn't even about innocent or guilty.
This is about her being the subject of a federal investigation and refusing to admit that this puts her and the party at risk.
She should be announcing that she's suspending her campaign.
What kind of an ego do you have to have to be under federal investigation and be willing to shove that onto an entire political party for your own desire to be president?
And she can whine "vast right wing conspiracy" and everything else she wants to, she brought this on herself.
No one forced her to do what she did.
No one forced her to lie about what she did.
And she's lied about it.
Now she wants to involve the entire country in a scandal of her own making.
That really is the Clinton way, isn't it?
We'll be focusing on Hillary and accountability in the next snapshot -- specifically detailing how the media gives her a pass and let's her get away with saying any lie.
Turning to another liar and/or fool, Haider al-Abadi. MIDDLE EAST MONITOR reports:
Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has attributed the country's economic crisis to the sharp decrease in oil prices in the global oil market, calling for a reshuffle of the cabinet to improve the country's ailing economy.
Abadi explained that he has a "clear vision and detailed policy that would enable Iraq to pass the economic crisis".
It's cute how the vast and ongoing government corruption never comes up in any of these explanations.
It's also cute how in 2008, 2009 and 2010, you had Osama al-Nujaifi and Tareq al-Hashemi repeatedly calling for Iraq to diversify its economy and warning of the effects falling oil prices could have and yet nothing was done then or since.
So even if the dropping price of oil is impacting, (a) the move to diversify the economy should have taken place long ago and (b) you factor in such things when proposing yearly budgets.
Haider has proven to be highly ineffectual.
Why did Barack install him? Because he was Nouri al-Maliki-lite?
Kristina Wong (THE HILL) notes Barack and Iraq:
It was principally Obama's opposition to the Iraq War that rallied many voters in 2008, but others, especially liberal Democrats, also hoped he would end the war in
But with less than a year left in the White House, Obama and the United States have not fully disentangled from either conflict — and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has emerged as a new threat.
Some who served the president at the highest levels don't think history will render a favorable verdict on his handling of Iraq and Afghanistan.

No matter what part of town you're in, there's a magazine shop that has your favorites. From the East Village to Midtown West, go read something interesting.
Best of NYC International Newsstands: Ink (East Village)
Ink is known for its expansive selection of both domestic and international publications, including art, photography, and fashion magazines that should be considered works of art in and of themselves. Looking for a specific celebrity on a foreign edition of Vogue or the like? Make sure you swing by. As for those of you who don't have a specific issue in mind, browsing the shelves here is a pleasure all on its own. 66 Ave. A, 212-420-6030
Best of NYC International Newsstands: Around the World (Midtown West)
Nestled in the heart of the Garment District, Around the World's collection of both domestic and international fashion magazines is what sets them apart from all the other newsstands on this list. The prices here are on-point as well, so you won't be paying an arm and a leg for that latest international issue of GQ. And if you can't find what you're looking for in their shop? You can always special order your magazine through their website for in-store pick-up. 148 W. 37th St., 212-695-2534, aroundtheworldnyc.com
Best of NYC International Newsstands: Casa Magazines (West Village)
Casa Magazines is your go-to newsstand if you're in the market for back issues. While the shop itself is tiny (seriously, it's a narrow, one-room deal), there are hidden storage areas for employees. That being said, if you can't find what you're looking for on the floor (literally and figuratively), make sure you ask somebody working there to check the back stock for you — chances are they'll find it. 22 8th Ave., 212-645-1197
Best of NYC International Newsstands: Magazine Café (Midtown West)

Best of NYC International Newsstands: The Tobacco Store (Union Square)
The Tobacco Store might have glass pipes in its storefront windows and a name that suggests cigars (which, they do have too!), but this shop's also got an impressive collection of magazines within its walls as well. You'll find sections labeled by language along their shelves and a vast array of Art & Design, Fashion, Tech, News, Business, and Entertainment magazines for your reading pleasure. 108 University Pl., 212-807-1540

Clara Parkes launched a new venture: Clara Yarn. A pop-up shop featuring limited edition small batch yarns that's a natural and exciting part of her other ventures. Not surprisingly, the first yarn, a plump worsted weight cormo, has a wonderful story that highlights how important the community behind the fibre is. Gorgeous yarn is always exciting, but I'm really interested to see more models for producing and selling yarns appear too.
It was announced that I'll be teaching at an exciting festival in Hamburg. I've never even been to Germany so I'm looking forward to this trip.
Gwen Matthewman who held the world records for both fastest and most prolific knitter passed away at the age of 86. Read about her inspiring achievements in her obituary.
The Edinburgh Yarn Festivalannounced that they'll be back in 2015 in a new, much larger venue.
Designer Olga Buraya-Kefelian, one of the most innovative designers I know, launched a beautiful new website.
The spring issue of Knittyis out.
Knockando, a mill in Scotland that has been producing yarn and textiles since 1784 now has a handknitting yarn.Look out for my thoughts on the yarn and more about the mill soon.
Knitting for refugees in The Telegraph: Why is the most fashionable Women's Institute knitting again?But oh can we please stop with the surprise that younger women knit.
Kate Davies has new tea towels featuring illustrations of her garment designs by Felicity Ford. I do love illustrations of handknits.
I launched a new pattern: wee Chickadee for babies and toddlers.
.... And it's a big one! Usually, the sale runs across a set number of days and things get pretty fast paced around here with shipping and customer service emails. With the need to continue to prioritise staff safety and a smaller team than usual, we decided to make this a whole birthday month.

It's been five days since my husband and I brought 8-pound, 6-ounce little baby boy home and it's taken me that long to figure out how I can keep the wee one happy (read: full and sleepy) and work on the computer. I now measure the time it takes to create a blog post in feedings rather than minutes or hours.
These past few days have been filled with wonder (I still can't believe he came from me) and joy (I crack up every time I see him smile); they've also been a reminder that I couldn't be doing this alone. For as much as having three moms (including me) in the house at the same time is two moms too many in a lot of ways (particularly for my husband), I would be a total mess otherwise. And so would baby Aleksi; there would no doubt be a lot more screaming coming from his direction.
I was prepared for being tired beyond belief. I was anticipating the pinches, pulls, and other discomforts that come with breast feeding. But I was in no way, shape, or form aware of the intense amount of post-birth pain I would be in.
Mommies-to-be are probably wondering just how much pain I'm talking about. Does not being able to sit down in a chair without pain sound like a lot? How about the fact that I know my wee one cries longer than he should when he wakes up at night because I can't move from a fully reclined position to a sitting upright position or even a standing position with any sort of expediency. It usually requires a few grunts to accompany a series of small maneuvers and adjustments that eventually get me to my desired position.
I'm just curious as to why none of the baby books talk about momma's recovery in any more detail than (1) sleep when the baby sleeps and (2) make sure you eat nutritious stuff and more of it since you'll be burning an extra 500 or so calories if you are breastfeeding.
All that's great advice, but it seems a bit shallow when I'm wondering how I would ever manage doing anything more than just feeding and diapering the wee one without at least one person as full-time help. I can't walk with any degree of ease, so I can't imagine feeding myself, doing laundry, taking the trash out, or walking the dog–none of which are optional activities in my house.
I have made mention of this surprising fact of post-birth life to a number of mommy-friends. One friend said to me, "Yeah, I meant to tell you about the whole grenade going off down there, but I didn't want to scare you." So, for all the mommies-to-be in my life, consider yourself warned. You'll get through it, but it's definitely not going to be pretty or painless.
I remember when I was pregnant I worried about the dreaded episiotomy. It just seemed so wrong. I had one friend who said it was the better way to go because it was clean and simple and, therefore, could be sewed back up lickety split. Another friend believed tearing was the more efficient way to go because the skin tears would naturally fit back together and heal more effectively. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't make one goddamn bit of difference because, at the end of the day, you've got stitches holding together some of your most delicate parts. How many ways can you say ouch.
Needless to say, there's blood and there's pain. Never a good combination in my book. So, here's my short list of mother's little post-birth helpers, thanks to the kind nurses at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C.:
- Mesh underoos.I'm not sure these even qualify as lingerie, but I
really thought these hospital-provided stretchy, mesh boyshorts were a godsend. I had optimistically packed a bunch of my own cotton underoos–ones that I felt comfortable knowing that I would chuck them as I left the hospital–but I never got out of these hospital beauties. They were so lightweight and totally breathable–and chuckable. There's a lot of bleeding the first few days.
- The ice-pack maxi pad.I'm so not kidding. This was my most
favorite thing in the hospital, as it provided the most singular relief even if it wasn't exactly absorbent. The docs all said it was only effective in the first 24 hours, but I'll tell you that I was begging my most sympathetic nurses to constantly bring me more of them. I was literally trying to build a stockpile of them to take home. I have two left now and I'm trying to ration them out. Sad, but true. And let me tell you that whatever homemade substitute you come up with will pale in comparison to these bad boys. So my advice is to start squirreling these away as soon as you can.
- Squirt bottle.I sort of laughed when the nurse brought me this
squirt bottle and told me it was going to be my best friend. I still think the icepack maxi pads were tops on my list, but the squirt bottle definitely isn't far behind. Basically you fill it with warm/hot water and sort of hose yourself down with it every time you use the bathroom. (Also just a quick fyi, you might find that your needs to use the potty can come on unexpectedly post-birth, especially if you had an epidural, which requires a catheter.) The warm water promotes tissue healing and you feel cleaner and there's less pain.
So, there's my list of the essential items any mommy-to-be might want to know about to help her first few days at home be much more comfortable so you can better enjoy your sweet, little bundle of joy.
Of course, there are a few other products that can also help. I also took 600mg of ibuprofen every six hours for the pain, which definitely helped, and was a decent fan of the sitz bath. For those of you, who like me don't spend much time in hospitals, a sitz bath is basically this tub thing that you fill with hot water and place on the toilet bowl before soaking your arse in it. My docs recommended using it two to four times a day for about 15 minutes each time. Between the feedings, diapering, and sleeping, I'm lucky to squeeze in one or two times a day. But I found it helps.
The nurses also gave me some generic pain relief spray that I could use up to four times a day. Honestly, I use it, but I don't think it's really all that effective.
At any rate, I hope this post isn't discouraging to mommies-to-be out there; these are just tips to help you in the very short term. There's a lot of pain, but as everyone has probably told you, it's all worth it in the end because you'll leave the hospital with your bundle of joy, who will need you and love you in ways you can't imagine.

|Thematic Course on Supporting Students with SEN – Cognition and Learning Needs (Facilitating English Language Learning - Focusing on the needs of students with SpLD & ID) [Re-run)]
|Organising Division
|Special Education Division
|First Issue Date and Time

|Participant Group
|All in-service teachers of primary, secondary and special schools
|The Education Bureau (EDB) is committed to implementing integrated education for students with special educational needs (SEN) who can benefit from education in ordinary schools. Teacher training is one of the key factors for catering for students with SEN effectively. To enhance teachers' capacity in catering for students with SEN, the provision of the 'Basic, Advanced and Thematic (BAT) Courses' for teachers is continued. The courses will be conducted in a full-time block-release mode. Regular teachers of government and aided primary, secondary and special schools will be granted paid study leave for attending the courses and supply teachers will be provided for the schools accordingly.
|This Thematic Course aims at enhancing teachers' competency in teaching students with 'Cognition and Learning Needs'(CLN), focusing on the needs of students with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) and Intellectual Disabilities (ID). Emphasis will be put on both theoretical and practical aspects such as designing and conducting intervention plans and developing corresponding learning materials. Participants will further review the methods of evaluating the learning of students with CLN and how the acquired educational strategies and skills will benefit these students and other students. On completion of the course, participants will be able to apply the necessary professional knowledge and skills in catering for the students with CLN.
|Programme Description
