SAVED THE BABY The Creemore Star tells of a wond- erful blood transfusion performed in CoUingwood. when Ei-nest Lennox of Avening gave the necessary blood to save the life of hi-s infant son three days after its birth.' The baby was what is known as a bleeder, that is its • blood was slowly oozing through its bowels and it would have died had not resort been had to' heroic treatment. The Hood was transfused from the father into the tiny veins of the in- fant and in the father's blood was the necessary element to stop the slow bleeding. The child gradually chang- ed from a pale anaemic baby to a ruddy one and some hours after the transfusion was pronounced healthy with every chance of development.

Knowing that the end was near his son, Dr. Robert McCullough, of Sar- nia was called home along with his mother was at the bedside when the spirit took its flight. Mr. McCullough, who was in his 81st year, was for a great many years one of Markdale's most prom- inent citizens.

D. McTAVISH A SON Chevrolet Dealers • Flesherton, Ont School Assessment Being Appealed A deputation from the rural por- tion of the Flesherton Union school section met Artemesia council at its session on Monday regarding the reduction of their tax rate to conform to the rate paid by Flesherton. At the present time Flesherton is sup- iposed to be paying 70 per cent oi the taxes, while the rural section pays, the remaindeir. Flesherton's tax rate is set at 8 mills to raise their share of the assessment, while it take.' 11 mills to raise the rural section'.- share. We understand that the deputation claims that Flesherton is only paying 65 per c-ent. of the totai and they .3.5 per cent. The deputatior stated that under the oid ao.se,- iment the payment.s were correct, but that the equalized assessment had not beer used for the present collection oi taxes. We were unable to secure anj figures as to as-.^-.^'^' \t or amount raised from the seen;... y, but if then is any discrepancy, which we doubt there needs to be a change in faimest to the rural ratepayei's. Mr. John Davis, Reeve,, and C. D. Meldrum Deputy-Reeve, of the township were appointed a committee .to enquire into the matter. Re-Uunion In Toronto The annual re-union of the Flesh- erton Old Boys and Girls Association will be held in Pythian Castle Hall, 245 College St., Toronto, on Friday, February 17th., at 8.30 p.m. There will be dancing, euchre, entertain- ment and refreshments. Mr. Burton E. Field, in writing about the ar- rangements, stated that it was the idea of the committee to bring more of the ei'derly people out than can be interested in a dance program. En- tertainment will be provided by mem- bers of the .-VsEociation and their frientls, talent for which is unlimited. Secretary Field remarks that he wants everyone to feel that the As- sociation is not an entirely young people's organization and that this "get-together" vrill be enjoyed by the older people as well as the young. A big time is expected as there will be "something doing" in which every- body will be interested and a large crov,'d is expected to be present. PUT FLESH ON .MARKET CATTLE With the plentiful supply of feed, the cattle going on the market this Winer -should be well-fleshed. Well- finished young cattle command a premium on both the home and ex- port markets. The poor quality under-fleshed animals have a depress- ing effect on the market. Steers or heifers showing breeding and type make .good use of the home-grown feed. Time alone will tell what the profit will be on the hundreds of cattle going into the feed-lots this fall. But, it is reasonable to expect that it will be the deep, mellow-fleshed bullocks that command the top prices when they go on the market. Inferior feed or a skimpy 'ration does not make market toppers of even the best type- of cattle. dum. Mr. Serkau estimated that Government guarantees of four mil- lion dollars would be necessai-y if the cattle were to be moved out in twelve months. He pointed out in the memorandum that the German government and the British govern- ment had established credits to trade with Ru.ssia, to a greater or less extent. Mr. Weir on the 23rd ot Decembpr replied to Mr. Serkau, stat- ing that he would be glad to put the proposal of the syndicate before the Cabinet for consideration, as soon as he received assurance that the Soviet govei-nment was desirous of making "uch a trade and no reply has been received. f a.m personally of the opinion that -Mr. Serkau handled the matter badly but I am also of the opinion that Russia is willing to accept cattle and hides from Canada in return for oil and possibly some coal. It woii'd seem to me that it was the govern- ment's business to arrange for such an exchange if it can possibly oe (lone, and I further believe that if a great manufacturing industry or a financial house were in need of the government's personal interest, as farming it at the moment, that assist- ance would be forthcoming. A number of years ago we made a guarantee of $25,000,000 to the Roumanian govern- ment in order to enable them to buy Canadian goods. Only a month oi two ago it is reported we loaned a very considerable sum to Newfound land, and within the last two years the government, by Order-in-Council, decided to use considerable sums of money to relieve the distressed condi- tion of the furniture industry and the C. P. Railway; the two last cited are practically gifts: Should not the Minister of Agriculture, and indeed the whole government, ascertain at once whether or not there is a mark- et in Russia for Canadian products and if there is to make the necessary arrangements toe the entrance of Canadian farm products into Russia ? Miss MacpbaiFs Letter The Prime Minister began his state- ment on the proposed barter of Can- adian cattle and hides for Russian oil by a rather lengthy review of the breaking off of official trade relations with Russia, by Great Britain and later by Canada. He then reviewed the renewal of trade relations be- tween Russia and Great Britain, say- ing "It was not suggested at any time during the discussions of the Imperial Conference that Great Bri- tain should cease to trade with Russia. On the contrary the British representatives made it perfectly clear at all times that trading opera- tions on a large scale had been carried on and that credits had been establish ed which, in point of facts, were re- newed shortly after the conclusion of the Ottawa Conference." Those of us who have a memory that goes back to last summer must very distinctly remember that the Imperial Confer ence nearly broke up because of the continued efforts of the Prime Minis ter to prevent Great Britain trading with Russia, in lumber at any rate. Mr. Bennett next devoted a para graph to the barter made by an alum inum company in Canada and the Soviet Government. The Canadiar government did not come into tht picture at all "except in so far as if became necessary to determine the duty payable on the imported petrol eum." The Prime Minister then proceeded to lay before the House the plan of the Canadian syndicate represented by Mr. Serkau to barter Canadian cattle and hides for Russian oil. Th, whole plan, at least Mr. Serkau's half of it. had been laid before Mr. Weir Minister of .\griculture, on Decembei 21st last, in the form of a memoran- Two days in the Commons were devoted to a resolution on the Co-op- erative Commonwealth Federation, standing in the name of J. S. Woods- worth. He was subjected to an almost constant interruption. When dealing with the changed character of private property, he instanced the Bank of Montreal and the Canadin Pacific Railway, and asked if they were private property in any real sense. He pointed out that they had been given their charter by Parlia- ment and enjoyed certain privileges, just so long as they were considered to minister to the welfare of the country. He reminded the House that the Bank charters are re-issued every ten year.s and reminded the banks that they were dependent on the people for their charters. H'. quoted from the Prime Minister's Toronto speech on private property the sentence "Are you prepared to give up those things which have been earned by honest toil?" Mr. Woods- worth then asked the House "Does anyone mean to say that the great fortunes in Canada have been built up by what could be called 'honest toil'?" "Has the Prime Minister's own fortune been gained by honest toil?" he continued, and then bedlam broke loose. The Speaker called on Mr. Woodsworth to withdraw his statement, since in the Speaker's opinion the Hon. member had madt imputation that the Prime Minister had been guilty of dishonesty. Mr, Woodsworth tried to say that he had not said that, but could not get a hearing, so finally he withdrew the imputation and a member of the gov- ernment party then said "yammer ahead." Mr. Woodsworth continued and said: "What I was trying to point out was that a great many fortunes in Canada have not been built up by what we used to consider in the old days as steady savings, collected by hard assiduous toil. I was trying to say that a great many fortunes in this countryâ€" in this case I am not referr- ing at all to the Prime Minister â€" had been made up by manipulation, by stock-watering and by various kinds of speculation." In seconding the resolution I took some time to show that the prolonged depression has brought business and professional people and the smaller industrialists well to the Left in their economic thinking. They who thought they would always be in a secure economic position find them- selves to-day on the ragged edge and aie coming into the C.C.F. to assist other insecure economic groups (farm and labor) to make such changes in our social organization as will ensure a comfortable living for the masses of the people. I pointed out that we had got out of previous depressions, not by intelligent collective action, but more or less by accident. A great invention caused capital expenditure on a large scale, or we exported capital, or a war with its attendant inflation relieved the situation. The money market of the world is dead; export capital is pretty well out of the picture; startling inventions are apt to be bought up by those whose commodities now on the market would be injured thereby; and a war we do not. want. It looks then, as though hard thinking and courageous collect- ive action will be needed. If we follow the policy we. are now pursuing, one of liquidation without replacement of credits, we will bring about wholesale defaulting on bonds and debentures with, therefore, less credit in circulation and a consequent lowering of prices. In the year 1032 corporations and municdpalitiea in Canada defaulted on their bonds to the extent of ?-15.000,000. Bonds and debentures are the basis ot credit; people who own them can bor- row against them and if the bank owns them they are considered as a basis of credit. If the people can- not pay their taxes and debts, default- ing will increase and as it does credit will disappear and as the vol- ume of credit and currency in circu- lation lessens prices will fall; and as prices fall people are less able to meet their debts and taxes. This is the policy w^hich we are now pursuing relentlessly. Mr. Cooto, speaking next, showed that there has been a contraction in Dominion notes in curculation, since 1929. of $50,000,000, and a contraction of bank loans of 8600,000,000 and in all probability a high percentage of the loans out are frozen. "We have been deflated" said Mr. Coote, "to the extent of approximately $700 million. Is it any wonder that business condi- tions are bad. Averaging the prices of wheat and other farm products, we find that there has bee a drop of 60'~r in the prices received for these commodities, while there has been a drop of only 19 '^r on those goods which the farmer is forced to buy, and no drop at all on the level of his ta.xes or the interests on his debts. How can the farmer carry on? Forty-five per cent, of the people are engaged in agriculture and the prices they receive for their products largely determine whether or not there will be businss prosperity in Canada. The gross revenue of agriculture has de- creased by over $925 million in the past three years." â€"AGNES C. MACPHAIL. House of Commons, Saturday. Fe. 4, 1933.
