CANADA-OUR NEIGHBOR
Canailian climate by no meant at insufferuble as
generally believed by Americans
By MARTIN C. RETRY
IAVE you ever become shivery | Americans that Canadian summers
^ upoD hearing that a cold blast
was due from Canada? Then, sub
consciously at least, you could not
help but feel sorry for our friends
across the border for the rigors of
tbe weather tbey must endure. As a
matter of fact, the Bouthern sec
lions of the country enjoy a climate
characteristic of the temperate re
glons although the northern areas
of the Dominion, which are not
densely populated, Buffer all the
hardships of the frigid zone.
The Importance of the Great
Lakes aa a climatic control has be
come a moot problem among Ameil
can meteorologists and the extent
of their tempering influence con-
tinues to be a matter of debate
because of the lack or coordinated
scientific data. Nevertheless It la a
tact that southern Ontario enjoys
a fairly warm climate and this fac-
tor has contributed Immeasurably
toward making tbls the Dominion s
leading Industrial Province. A!
are cool and the winters Intolerably
cold.
Toronto, second lurgest city In
the Dominion, has -an annual mean
temperature of forty-four degrees:
Hamilton, forty-six degrees; Grim*
by, forty-seven; Windsor, forty-
eight; Ottawa, capital of the Do
minion, further north, forty-two:
Simcoe, forty-six and Chatham,
forty-seven degrees.
These annual mean temperatures
are a bit lower than those of Hie
northern cities of the United States
but the dlffwence is negligible. For
example, the recording at Boston is
forty-nine degrees: New Vork City,
fifty-two degrees. Buffalo, forty-
seven degrees; Chicago, forty-nine
degrees; Detroit, forty-eight de
grees; Philadelphia, further south,
fifty-four degrees, while Pittsburgh
Is the same as New York, or fifty-
two degrees.
In northern Ontario the winters

state the Lions are looking
forward to the game with
Denison, and are going to stay
out of the red on their game;
if possible.
Norman C. Dorchester, ex-
president ol thi Dads dub, an-
i ounced today that the organi-
zation would not attempt
to sponsor a special interurban

Mr. Dorchester said the club
would have to guarantee a speci-
fied number of passengers and
the general census of the mem-
bers was that they did not cars
to assume the responsibility.
Denison and McKinney teams
seem to he about evenly match-

outcome of the game appears to

likely to not be seen until the
