Artemesia Girl Bereaved A death occurred at St. Catharines last week which was of interest to many people in this district, in the person of Mr. Bonar Balfour, husband of an Artemesia girl, Miss Elizabeth Collinson, sister of Mr. J. F. Collin- son and Mrs. Frank Cairns of Arte mesia township. The deceased was- a son of the late George William Bal- four, M.D., L.L.D., F.R.C.P.E., phys- ician-in-Scotland to Her Majesty Queen Victoria and to His Majestj King Edward VII. He was also a first cousin of Robert Louis Steven- son. Mr. Balfour came to Canada in his youth and served in the Reil Rebellion. Later he went to New York and became secretary to the .Ma inill.-m Publishing Company. In 1900 he returned to Canada and since that time he has operated a farm in which he raised flowering bulbs and plants. Besides his sorrowing wife he leaves one son, also named Bonar SAVED! A week or two ago one of our esteemed correspondents sent in items it/ both operating and capital costs; that is, no other than owners of radio sets will be taxed. A new New Zealand treaty has been negotiated, very similar to the old. Again the treaty has been made for the benefit of the automobile manufacturing industry at the ex- pense of agriculture. New Zealand butter, about which we heard so much in 1930, had then a tariff against it of 17r Under the new Act this has been raised to 5'/< , but the difference in exchange between New Zealand and Canada will almost altogether overcome the tariff, so if a low tariff against New Zealand butter was a crime in 1930, it is stiH a crime. The Hon. James Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce in the Mackenzie King Government, made a speech of approval of the treaty; his first speech in the House since his serious illness. He reviewed the butter sit- uation for a number of years back and showed that we were importing butter in 1930 because we needed but- ter. Milk was flowing into the con- densories and ice cream businesses and a great deal of cream was then being shipped to the United States. Tht Hon. Mr. Malcolm continued: "I said in the House and on the hustings, and I say now to Mr. Hon. friend, the Minister, thatifhe does have to import dairy produce and a^ a result of this import we can increase the volume describing events in connection withi of manufactured goods being sold to Zealand the workmen who "Will SSSrS.t Rood, in Canada to get married.

"I hope that never again in thi- country or in this House, will we havi: the same hvprocisy and insincerity that we had in connection with the criticism of our inmportation of huttei from New Zealand." Mr. Malcolm went on to show that butter is on a:- export basis to-day, due, in his op- inion, to lack of prosperity in Canada The amount of butter consumed hen has dropped in two years from 350 million to 217 million pounds. You may have noticed in the press that the House of Representative* in Washington, D.C.. passed a hill am- ending the Federal Reserve Act. en- abling the Federal Resarv Board to put into the market four million doll- ars in Federal Reserve notes, for the purpose of raising the price level of commodities. If the interest charge? against it are not too great it ou<jht to have the desired effect. AGNES MACPHAIL. Saturday. May 7th. 1932. S. 8.

HEARD, Teacher Nome Surroundings Count "W!e are influenced to a greater xtent than we realize by our sur- oundings" observes F. C. Nunnick hairman of the More Beautiful Canada Campaign Committee of the Canadian Horticultural Council. As e points out " children are partkul- rly responsive to home surroundings nd where these include lawns, shrubs recs and flowers they make ft much tetter place in which to bring up ihildren than in a home where no at- tention whatever is paid to these 'riends of the plant kingdom." Environment is an important facto? with children. The constant contact with the beautiful things of nature which well-kept home grounds afford! is too important In the welfare of tlu home and the child to be overlooked.
