THURSTON, - Assoc Editoi KDITORiAL NOTES With the hitrhway between Dundalk and Fle.-^herton in such treacherous condition the contem|)lated paving can not come any too soon. • • • Daylig-ht saving is a nuisance in smnllcr phices that do not observe it. Oriliia merchants refuse to obey the injunction of the town council that daylight saving would be in effect there. ' This fud cannot be worked in small towns where they depend to a V nsiderahlc extent on the farming : ad.. • • • The Toronto Transportation Com- mission announces a new bus service for a certain district in the city. In a recent issue The Star states that "It will .serve 680O persons now ob- liged to walk 1,000 to 2,000 feet to street cars." Is our human race in the cities becoming so decadent that they are unable even to walk such a short distance? • • • Reports have been circulated about the province that Highway No. 10 wa» inpassable between Dundalk and Vic- toria Comers. These reports were very misleading as at no time was traffic halted. .While the road was not in Kood condition cars and trucks travelled over the wors parts con- tinuously. Many people were thus deprived of journeying to their homes north of Dundalk through the reports given to the press. • • • A Scottish female preacher has re. igno<l her charge because she h^ ad a baby. She holds that a mar- ried female minister could manage both jobs all right, but she has heard objections to her trying it out, and as a division of the congregation on the point would impair her influence she chooses the home and the baby. Many will agree that she is right. The joint charge seems to alTord plenty of work for any maternal head of a hou.sehol(l. • • • The iMotherland is certainly keeping in the front rank in meeting the de- sires of adventurous travellers. Four great railway groups have just agreed in conjunction with Imperial .Airway to form a new company to operate Jlying services. It is intended to have a net-work of passenger carrying air lines linked up with the express train rcrviccs on the big trunk routes Train and airplane tickets will bo in- terchangeable. In countries where the population is comparatively closely settled and travelling plentiful such co-operation may be easy and profitable. The British are appar- ently willing to make this experiment of "half and half" adventure. • * * Even though Canada is producing more wheat than f-nn be marketed at a paying price, it will be good news to farmers, who are always hoping for a tura of the tide, to learn from the National Kcscarch Council of Can- ada that it believes the experiments set on foot a few years ago to combat the disease of rust are likely to pro- iluce a remedy. The problem has been not only to produce a type of wheat that would resist rust, but to embody in this type the (|ualities which have made Canadian wheat thy standard of excellence on the world's markets. This, it is claimed, has now been done, although the ncv strains are being subiccted to thous- ands of tests before being released for general use. Meantime, one can- not but rej'rct that there is stijl talk of asking the farn-.crs to let theii wheat fields go unworked lest they produce too much of this prime arti Ic of food.

Dated at Cnllingwi^od this 23rd day «f April, 1934. MALCOLM Ml LEAN, f " ' Collingwood, Ont Solicitor for the estate SUPPLY LOCAL 6RAVEL County Warden W. J. Taylor of Osprey gave The Advance a call on Tuesday last, on his return home irom an exaniinalion of the county roads, and a visit to government heudquax-ters in Toronto on highway business. He says the Highway Conmiittee found the roads in fairly i,'()oil condition considering the sever- ity of the winter. The Highway Department in To- ronto was interviewed with regard to the gravel to be used by the De partment of Highways in road con structioa within the county. The Department had preferred using Sim- coe gravel for the 8-mile strip ot pavement east of Thornbury. The delegation entered the plea that Grey County gravel should be used for work within the -county and received the assurance that such would be done if at all possible. It had also been announced that Durham crushed stone would be used on the proposed pave- ment from Markdale to Proton corn- er. The Department agreed to use gravel nearer the scene of operations and this will be securd from the I'lesherton gravel pits, the Dui-ham |)ioduction being sujiplied for the strip south of Proton to Dundalk. This will probably be delivered by rail at Proton Station and trucked from there to the scene of operations. Budget And Marketing Debates Are Continued H. W. KERNAHAN TORY CANDIDATE H. W. Kernahan of Maxwell was chosen as the Liberal Conservative candidate at the nominating conven- tion, held in Durham, for the forth- coming provincial election, the date of which has not been announced. He was victorious over Mr. Herb Corbett of Proton Station, who al- lowed his name to stand. Four other men were nominated as follow.s: .Mian Bell of Durham, W. L. Taylor of Osprey, Frank Irwin of Durham, and Dr. Phillips of Chatsworth, but all declined to stand. Both candidatjes for the official nomination addressed the gathering and were favorably received. Dr Campbell of Markdale and Campbell Grant of Walkerton, prospective can- didates for the Liberal-Conservative Federal nominations, gave addresses but it was decided that a candidate would not be entered at this date The main address of the afternoon was that of the Hon. Leopold Mac- aulay, Ontario, Minister of Highways, who gave a rousing speech to the enthusiastic delegates. Ho declared that the issue before the people was which party offered i.he best leader- ship. The choice was between Henry Government with its sound ideas and broad experience of Mitchell P. Hop- burn's Liberal Party of recklessness, with nothing construitive to offer. CAT MOTHERS PUPS Buddy, a female Boston bull ter- rier, making her hoine with Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Watson, rlied a few dnys ago and left a family of pups, two of whom are still living. The house- hold undertook to raise the puppies when the family cat lost her family of kittens and she has taken to the puppies and is mothering them to the full satisfaction of all. The real fun v. ill likely start when mother cat flourishes the rod of correction. â€" Meaford Express. The Hon. J. L. Ralston, finanjial criti'' of the official opposition, offer- ed the House a lengthy specH;h in criticism of the budget, in which he niade a careful analysis but did n;;'. offer much ol a constructive nature. He amused the House by quotinjf the concluding words of the budgets oi the last three years. In 1932, the Finance Minister had said in con- lui.ion, "as a final word, may I say I do not proiM>se to indulge in pro- phecy. But 1 do desire to record my firm conviction that we are not fai removed from events which will her- ald the dav/n of better days." And in 1933: "At the same time we have no occasion to despair of the future. On the contrary, I am of the firm belief that wo can look forward with complete confidence to better and happier days." And this year: "May wo with renewed hope, fresh courage and firm step, press on towards the goal of better and happier days which lie not far ahead." Colonel Ralston suggested that the words be set to the music of 'The Same Old Story in the Same Old Way' but in case of an election with the Liberals winning, a more suitable title would be 'Happy Days are Here Again.' The Liberal critic assailed the gold tax because it was based on produc- tion instead of on profit. He com- plained that the budget was not com- plete, in that no estimates for the public works program had been brought down, nor had anything been .said about the commitments of the Wheat Pool which he estimated at twenty-five million, nor of the C.P.R. loan of sixty million. Had these been included, our total obligations he said would have been 3,900 million instead of the 2,700 million as stat- ed by the Finance Minister. Mr. Ralston quoted rather lavishly from promises made by ivir. Bennett during the election campaign in 1930 and from the speeches made by the Prime Minister in the House in years gone by. He had advocated a sink- ing fund for the retiring of the nat- ional debt and a turn-over tax in place of the sales tax, which had not only been sustained but doubled dur- ing this Parliament. Mr. Ralston said it was remai'ltable what a diff erence the responsibility of office made. In concluding, Mr. Ralston oiji'erod the following amendment "This House regrets that the pro- posals of the Minister of Finance I give no indication of the intention of the Governfnent to abandon the pol- I icies of economic nationalism whi>:)-. have proved so disastrous to Canada'.-- trade. "It is of the opinion that the im- mediate substitution therefore of pol icies which will promote export trade throughout the world, is essential to any permanent iniiirovement of con- ditions in Canada and to the success- ful application of other policies re specting credit and unemployment de signed to effect this end." Mr. Woodsworth, who followed, said that the Government was in the same P'j.iition as any private business or individual would be in if money had to be borrowed to pay interest on what was owed. He referred to the deficit on all accounts of $135 million and said the fact is that this year's deficit is simply piled on top of last year's deficit. He approved of tht gold tax and welcomed the reduction in the sugar tax and suggested that if goM i.'! as necessary to our econ- oinij life as many people think it is that the Government take over the gold mi:io3, keep the miners working on a reasonable wage scale and gath- er the profits into the treasury of Canada. Mr. Woodsworth approved of the income tax and was glad it was not lofsened, but thought that it ought to be increased, particularly on the higher incomes. He believed that economies would be effected in gov eminent by combining the three mari- time provinces into one and the three prairie provinces under one head as well. He urged also amendments to the British North America Act and the abolition of the Senate. /s 300% Interest **Ab8urd," you say Yet .

CTL Since the collapse of the inter- national gold standard the price ot gold has been raised from $20.67 an ounce to $35 an ounce. If the mines were operating profitably at the lowei figure, there is surely a fat surplus of profit exempt from taxation. The gol.l mining industry has been very much helped by government inter- vention and ought not now to howl over helping its benefactor. I am sure the counti^ is somewhat confused to read that the Liberals are accusing the Conservative Govern- ment of socialist leanings and Mr. Woodsworth of sympathy with the Conservative party, calling to hi-ii during his speech on the budget ask- ing him why he did not cross the flook. The Weekly Sun comments on the situation in the headline, "TOR- IES GO PINK, LEFT WING CHEERS, LIBERALS GO TORY.' And what are the facts of the matter? Just these: the group in the corner, or the radicals have for a number of years advocated a planned economy part of which would be orderly marketing, embracing export and im- port boards and the Bennett Goveni- ment has brought down the Market- ing Bill which embodies the general principles advocated, with the natural result that the whole group supports the bill, if not in detail at any rate in essence. As the Weekly Son says: "The response of the C.C.F. to the Marketing Bill is so enthusiastic as to be somewhat embarrassing. They endorse it with gusto." The co-operatiye wheat producers, livestock produciers, swine associa- tions, fruit and vegetable organiza- tions have been for a long time de- manding some such bill as the one brought down. Under the circum- stances it is difficult to understand the position taken by the Lil)oral party regarding the Marketing Bill and '..Mr. Mackenzie King's lengthy defence of personal liberty was un- realistic, evading as it did the fact that without economic liberty there is no liberty at all. The position taken by Mr. Mother- well is a common-sense one. He was critical of many of the provisions ot the Bill and went so far as to say if some of them were not changed he would be 'forced to yote against it, but that he approveil of the principle and so would vote for it at second reading in the hope that changes would be made in committee. His courageous action has won the respect of the House. Mr. E. J. Garland, U.F.A. member for Bow River aroused a listless and inattentive House to interest, if not to enthusiasm by his speech on the Marketing Bill. "If I congratulate the Minister of .Agriculture, Mr. Weir, and the Government upon bringing in the measure, let me say that I con- gratulate them on having had the ex- cellent good sense to adopt almost the exact proposals of the C.C.F. and the very proposals which have been put forward by my own organization the United Farmers' of Alberta, for some years." "A r.ationally con- trolled e.-onomy is essential," contin- ued Mr. Garlan.-I. "There has been in recent years a complete abandon- ment of the olil policy of laissez-faire, the philosophy of free competition, the philosophy of the right of the individual to exhort and extract from society all he can get irrespective of its effects upon society. It is utterly essential that for the good of society the state must step in and assist in directing the evaluation and the econ- omic growth." Mr. Garland approv- ed of the Bill as one phase of national planning. He quoted two clauses] to show that in his opinion the Bill proposed to stimulate an interest in organized co-operative marketing, and in this connection said: Any bill that has that object within its ambit must receive my support, i am not a socialist; I have never besi; a socialist; I have rover read any work of Karl Marx except what para- graphs appear in cuiTent digests o;- magrazine articles, but I am .associat- ed with a movement (the U.F.A.) for a quarter of a century have struggled to find an intelligent solution of the problems of the primary producers to whom I belong. As a result of this 25 years of earnest effort they have come to certain crystallized opinions." He went on to explain that many of these opinions were the same as the con<:lusions of other groups, labor, socialist, etc., and these together had formed the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Mr. Garland dealt rather exhaust- ively with the co-operative movement showing that in Denmark and Sweden where the co-operative principle had been carried out, the quality of pro- ducts was the highest in the world and their marketing and financial methods the most efficient and satisfactory. "We (U.F.A.) have come to the firm conclusion that the extension of the co-operative principle with nationaliz- ation of key industries and monopolies would carry with it all that we de- sire to secure at this stage in the at- tainment of our progi-am," he stated. The new member for South Oxford, Mr. Rennie, was introduced to the House by the Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King and the Hon. John Elliott. The three linked arms at the entrance and marched to just below the Clerk's table, from where Mr. King informed the Speaker "the new member from Oxford South has signed the Roll, taken the Oath and now desires to take his seat." To which the Speak- er replied by asking the member to take his seat, but before doing so Mr. Rennie walkeu up to shake hands with the speaker. The little ceremony gave the Liberals an opportunity to express their joy at the results of the by-electioc. â€"AGNES M.ACPHAIL. House ff Commons, Ottawa, Aoril 28, 1934.
