...easy to picture a high official of the Canadian Government riding across the Detroit River in a launch laden with Canadian liquor and a crew of day-to-day rum-runners. Yet such was the picture actually described last week in the Canadian House of Commons at Ottawa by William D. Euler, Canada's Minister of National Revenue. The high official had been himself; the time, lately. His picture was as follows...
...made by the U. S. to seize any of these boats. The U. S. customs always are notified by us an hour or two before the boats leave and occasionally we notify them as the boats are leaving. . . . U.

For every member who qualifies, the flying club gets $100 more. And if the club later buys planes...
...half-century ago, in the same year that the late E. W. Scripps was establishing the first of his chain, the Cleveland Press, Norman Edward Mack, a Canadian country boy who had learned about advertising in Chicago, was establishing the Times in Buffalo. At first it was a Sunday paper only. In 1883, he made it a daily. It served him well, and he it, during a career of which the high mark was the Mack chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee (1908). Upon selling out to Scripps-Howard, Mr. Mack, now 70, has retired...
