We should suggest that he start the ball rolling by beating up some of the delinquent subscribers who will not pay up. Nothing like starting at home. • • • The tradition of the sea is again upheld by the crew of the United SUtes S. S. President Roosevelt when they rescued the crew of the British freighter, Anitoe, during the severe storm which raged on the Atlantic last week. One regrettable feature was the loss by the rescuers of two men of the crew in their efforts of rescue. Such bravery is commend- able and follows many other? acts of rescue which have been heard from time to time and which are worthy of the highest praise. » « • The village of Flesherton is unable to pay any of its accounts at present as the funds are very low. Such a condition of affairs i.s deplorable, and the money to run affairs should have been borrowed long before this. At the end of last year it was found the village was nearly $300 in debt, brought on mainly as our readers will remember, by the order of the "court for the payment of the huge sum of money to the Hopsital for Consump- tives in Muskoka, and the town is in fair shape financially. But then it skould be seen that there is enough money in the treasunv to pay bills as they are passed and a number of which are waiting payment at the present time. • • • Much of the enjoyment and harm- ony is taken out of the various soc- ial and religious events held in the village, when counter attractions are on the go the same evening. This has been occuring too frequently in the not too distant past, and it is a time when such should he jfiven care- ful consideration. Our vilalgo is too small to permit of this without a de- teriorating effect in some quarters. The church and its people should work together, and the people will find the church .sympathetic, and har- niniously inclined whce possible, to all good social activities, and has al- ways been willing to concede and ac- cede on the hiilf-wav basis. (6) That the parliament as ind. viduals undertake to foster the spirit of world brotherhood and peace by following definite means: the study of, and active support to, the League of Nations, The exchange of letter packets with boys of other nations and by sending a representative to , the International BoJ^s' Conference in Finland next summer; Study of suit- able literature for the purpose of ed- ucating ourselves to great problems of international good-will; and a more christian attitude towards and co-oper ation with the foreign boys of our' own towns and cities. Personnel of Cabinet { The Premier was highly successful in carrying out his program, wJiich embodies the principal of the Boys' Parliament. We made no mistake in electing Ronald Fredenburgh to the important office of Premier. He then announced his cabinet as follows; Edward Devitt, Kitchener, Minister of organization; Vernon Proctor of Chatham, finance; Frank Perking of Ottawa, co-operation; John Hart of Parry Sound, pioneer work; Alex. McGregor, Bowmanville, education; Walter Galium, Sarnia, health; Merk- ley Hagar, Midland, religious educa- tion; Hugh Scratch, London, provin- cial secretary; Ronald predenburgh of Perth, premier and minister of world brotherhood; Earl Lautenschla- ger. Kitchener, John Mears, Niagara Falls, and Reginald Hanna of Kings- ton, without portfolio; James Grim- mon, leader of the opposition. Bruce Whidden of Toronto was chosen as chairman of the committee of the. whole House, and Albert Tucker of, Toronto was elected as Speaker.! There were 58 members on the gov- 1 ernment side and 44 members in the Opposition. The Bond Selling Campafgn Last year the 4th Older Boys' Par- liament raised $11,000 for boys' work in Ontario, and to finance the Ontario Boys' Work Board. This year the 5th Parliament passed a bill, accept- ing the responsibility of raising $11,- 000. Each riding is given an object- ive to reach, and the objective for the county of Grey is $200, exclusive of Owen Sound. This money is rai.sed bv the sale i)f One Dollar Bonds and these bonds are sold by Tuxis boys or voters in each town or village in the riding. The security of the bond is your own personal satisfaction that you are Continued on Page .5 WOILD $».OO0 MAKE VACATION JOYFUL FOR 10.5 PERSONS The answer to the Question is "s Simple as A B C â€" and So Is the Way to Get the Money. Nine thousand dollars in cash will be given away in Ontario before you are six wecv* older, to l.)0 men,, women and children who want 9, 000 and know they want it badly en- ough to go and get it. And yet the fact of the matter is that hundreds and thousands of men and women and children who want or need money â€" who have dreamed of travel, of buying automobiles, or homes, or gay new clothes, or librar- ies; who have longed for a chance to complete an education, or start in business for themselves; who have dependents who need greater oppor- tunityâ€"will not share in that great pre-Easter gift of $9,000. The reason i« a mystery old * as the ages. Mr. A., on the corner i / Y Street who needn money, sees u ciiance to make money, and goes and makes it. Mr. B., who lives around the corner, who needs money twice as badly as Mr. A.. 8ee:i the same chance, says "How interesting" â€" and goes to the movies. Would $2,000 do anything you want to do, and can't aford? Would $2, 000 handed to you in one piece, make your vacation time happy this year? - Happines:^ is worth working for. The Toronto Mail and Empire, know- ing that, puts happiness within your grasp, in announcing a recordbreak- ing prize .<;ame, a history making vacation prize division, in which 1 there is no cost to you, no investment 'from you rc^iuired, no pledge or prom lise or obligation on your part. Many people put things off and forget them. The wise ones and the successful ones are the ones who have a loudsptoker set up so they can hear opportunity's footsteps 'clear down the next block. I And opportunity this time means I the Toronto Mail and Empire's "B- Word" picture puzzle contest, with a I record breaking total of |9,000 cash offered for 150 winners. I)IN(;WALLâ€" WATSON The Boy's Parliament (By Jack Mills of Hanover, Member for .Soul!) Grey.) On .Saturday ufleinoon, Dr-s. 26, the Parlinnitni was .jpc.ned at '.i.'M with a short addrcs- from Bishop BrewiriK of Toronto. At this oponintr session, held in the P:irlianK-it Build- ing.s, nearly 100 boys were nresi-nt, representing all sections of Ontario. Addresses were dolivtred bv Albert Tucker, .Speaker ol tlie 4th Boys' Parliament, and Frank Adams, lead- er of the Opposition in the s.ime parl- iament. Gord<in Lapp, the retiring premif-r. then gave his report ot the year's work, in which he slated thi' various activities ot Inst year's narl- iament, and, incidentally, "stated that he had trave!lo<l over 7,000 miles in the interests of the Boys' Parliament. The number of C.S.E.T. boys had been increa.so*! and they had raised $11,- 000 by the bond selling campaign. They were now in a position to main- tain the two-man staff (Chas. Plew- man and J. M. Findlay) who were de- voting all thei rtime and energy in the interests of provincial boys' work. Earl Lyman, the retiring provin- cial secretary, gave his report. The main item was the fact that there were now 14 established C.S.E.T. camps in Ontario with a total mem- bership of 1006. This meant that there were 1006 boys getting Canad- ian .Standard Efficiency Training, and under the guidance of the great boy workers of Canada and Ontario. Thp Boys' Parliament had formed many of these camps, and that alone was a tremendous achievement. All the members then signed the Oath of Allegiance and meetine ad- journed from the Parliament Build- ing to the Central Y.M.C.A.. wherf a "get-acquainted" supper was serre- •d. At this enjoyable supper everybody got acquainted, and a few words of welcme were given by R. B. Eiitehead, president of the Ontario ys' Work Board, and Geo. V. Webb. general secretary of Baptist Br. of Kcligions Eiiacation. Preaiier Outlines His Plstfonn At 8 D.m. we again met at the pari lament buildings, with the nurpone o' electing a Premier and leader of the Opposition. Three candidates were in the << 'Id, namely: Rontid Freden- borgli of Perth, Jas. Grimmon of Pic- ton and F,dw«rd Devitt of Kitchener The canHidate<i were introdticed to the members, uid a fe* words, then the members voted. As a result, frepe-de-chine, with marbeau trimm The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watson, Proton, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday, .'aiiuary 27th, when their youngestl (iau^fhter. .\lma Irene became the bride of Mr Andrew Dingwall, Arte- mesia, the Rev. Mr. McCormJck of I'riceville officiating in the presenr? of about forty relatives and intimate friends. I'romi)tly at four o'clock the wedd- ing party entered the drawing room to the strains of the wedding march ()lj\ye(l by Miss Ha Batchelor, Proton .Station. The bride and groom stood beneath an nrch of flowcr.s. The fiirmer, who was given away1)y her fr.thev, looked charming in her bridal frocl: of French Blue Brocaded silk, with Ion;,' white tuljo veil, caught by u bandeau of Lily of the Valley and oiu-rying a shower bouquet of ophelia Vi):ies, orchids and vall-'y lilies, with slreamera. The only attendant was a little flower girl, Carlottn Plester, niece of the bride, who was frocked in oink silk, nnd wore ii flower hnndcnuj in lier hulr, and carried j\ banket of .sweet peas and fern. The wedding breakfast was served following the bestowing of congrat- ulations and best wishes mid showers of confetti. The table was prettily decorated with the bride's bouquet and sweet peas, the wedding cake oc- cupying the central place, adorned with white tulle. The table was presided over by Mrs. L. A. Fisher, Flesherton, and Mrs. W. A. Richard- son, aunts of the bride. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome cabinet of community silver; to the organist a bar set with pearls, to the flower girl a string of beads. The many handsome gifts showed the high esteem in which the young bride was held. In the evening, a reception was held in which about one hundred guests assembled, the bride receiving, and was assisted by Miss Liaxse Wright and Miss Ila Batchelor. The hours were enjoyably spent in games, soc- ial intercourse and in achieving the butterfly whirl, to the muaic ren- dered by Messrs Black, Haw and Parit. At midnight, a dainty lunch was served, after which the youth and beauty again tripped the liffht fantastic toe till the break of dsy. l>uring the festival the weather man took it upon himself to make the event a most memorable one. On Thursday the happy couple left for Owen Sound and other pointi.

J* fl The PubUc's Chief Concern IN the matt-'v of telephone service we believe the public's cuief concern is in tvro points: â€" [1] People want to know that they can count upon getting a complete tele- phone sei-vice of high quality, day and night, now and in the future. [2] People want such sei-vice at a price that is as low as sound business prac- , tice pennits, and less than the value of the service received. These points are the essence cf true public service, and this company is just as deeply con- cerned in them as is the public. At the present time, as we have explained, an increase in rates is needed tc assure the con- tiniiafice of the Icind of servic: our subscribers leqmre. Tht! reasons are: â€" , [1] 0ur earnings per telc:>hone have de- clined, due to the gv^ vt development of lower rate servici , such as two- party line. [2] Large additions to p'..int at present- day prices, as compared with the low price levels of a few years ago, have increased the f i.xed charges to be pro- vided from our earnings. [3] The low rate of depreciation suggested by the Board of Railway Commission- ers, as a temporary measure, is now known to be inadequate to protect the investment. A reasonable ad'istment of the wide differ- ence between present telephone rates and the cost of doing business is an obvious necessity. Such technical subjects as property valuation, rate of return, and depreciation expense have an important part in determining tdephone rates. Casual discussion of such subjects is often misleading for it can deal only hritSiy with matters that must be son* into in great detail to be dearly understood. These and all other Xacton will bt pnaantod in detail to be fully considered by the proper publie authority, the Board ol Railway Com- missioners for Canada. The booklet "Tdephone Ser?lee and Rates* states the facts of our position. A Bopy hat been mailed to all our snbeeriben. Ifyottrcop^ has not reached yon. we iludl be fkid to send yoQ one.
