THURSTON, - Assoc. Editoi SHOILI) WALK SLOWI.V Premier-elect Mitchell F. Hepburn ha? announced that he intends to do away with the Hydro F'lectric Com- mission, and with the three men of that Commission would go Mr. F. A. Gaby, chief engineer of the Hydro. The rea.son given for the dismissal of the commission is that it ig not need- ed, j^s one man could do the work and he wouH be responsible to the government, while the reason given for the firing of Mr. Gaby is that he condoned some of the hydro deals entered into by the retiring Conser- vative government and also that he dared to talk back to Mr. Hepburn and attempt to explain and reveal some of the attacks made against â- Ontario's gTc-at public institutions. Wq think that 'Mr. Hepburn should go slowly in his dismissals. Mr. Gaby is a man highly qualified for his position and if he condoned some of the acts of political interference he would only be doing his duty in carrying out demands and instructions of those who hire him. Without any doubt the head office expenses of the hydro are enormous, but the premier- elect could take some other measure, in reducing expenses, equally effect- iye without dismissing the man who has been with the hydro from its in- fancy. BENNErrâ€" McLAlCHLAN A house wedding was solemnized last Thursday at 140 Sunnyside Ave., Toronto, when Victoria Madeline, daughter of .Mrs. McLauchlan and the late Rev. J. A. Mcljauchlan, was united in marriage to Rev. M. Me'vyn Bennett, B.A. The ceremony was jierformed against a background of palms and pink and white peonies by Rev. Amos J. Thomas. Miss Cecelia Tourgis, pupil of the bride, played the wedding music. The bride, giv- en in marriage by her cousin, Mr. Emeii-son McLachlan. of Hamilton, wore a gown of ashe.-; of roses suede lace, made on long fitted lines. After the ceremony a weeding luncheon was served. Later Mr. and Mrs. Bennett left on a motor trip. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Bennett attend- ed the wedding. Congratulations are extended by the people of Flesh- erton to Rev. and Mrs. Bennett. Flesherton Won 11-3 Flesherton defeated Markdale 11-3 on the local diamond Thursday afer- noon, to make the second win of the .season with one loss. The high wind and cold air caused numb fingers, making good ball playing impossible. .Markdale making nine errors and Klesherton six. Belts, McTavish and Best were con- si.«ter.t with the bat, the former gath- ering three hits from four trips to the plate, while M;-Tavish had two from four times at bat and Best was up five times for two hits. Brown for Markdale was Markdale's best, while Berry and White came next. Phillips pitched the entire game for Flesherton and struck out ten Mark- dale batters, the same number of Flesherton players fanning the air at White's shoots. WTiite allowed four free trips and Phillips one, while Flesherton had eight men stranded on the paths to Markdale's six. While Flesherton won the game so decisively it was only through walks and errors and a couple of good heal- thy wallops at the ball at critical moments that enabled them to win. Three of the players collected seven of the nine hits registered and the three scored eight of the eleven runs, so the other players will need to brush up on their batting practice for Flesh- erton to travel very far in the League race.

'• Wonderful Instinct Of Dog Displayed Mr. Sam Stauffer relates the foil I'wing story which occurred last wc-ek while he was in tho hospital at Mark- dale: Mr. William Stafford, employed in ." garage at Berkeley, was in the hospital from bums received when gas from the hose- of a gasoline pump >:pilled over his clothes and ignited from the exhause of the car. He was taken in a car and carried into the hospital at Markdale where he received medical attention. Two days later at 11.30 p.m., as Dr. Carefoot was entering the hospital he noticed a police dog sitting on the verandah. He chased it away and went on into the building where he went the rounds of the patients and remarked to Mr. .Stafford and Mr. Stauffer that a •strange police dog was out on the rerandah and related his experience with it. Two hours later the dog barked and Stafford exclaimed that it was his dog. He called "Rex" and the dog answered with a sharp bark. The night nurse went down to let the animal in. It raced upstairs and into the sick room, jumping on the bed and was overjoyed at finding its master. No amount of coaxing could make it leave the sick room and it was still there the next day at noon. When Mr. Stafford left for the hos- pital the dog was not around the garage, where it usually stays, and how it found its way to the hospital and to its owner is one of those in- stinct of dog nature that cannot be explained. bLfT A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ..ASSOCIATION AND LIFEKSS .•USURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA POSTURE No one would question the desira- bility of good posture, or deny that it is a social asset. Good posture ex- presses alertness, self-corfidence, and a capacity to do things, and, for these reasons, it is an essential charactcr- i.itic for the business man or woman. By good posture, we mean the un- con.scious habit of sitting and stand- ing erect and walking with a free an<l ca.'^y cariiage. In good posture, the car, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle ai;- in a straight line when the individual is standing erect. The relationship between posture and health is not definite. In gen- eral, we may say that good posture reflects good health, but good posture doe.s not necessarily imply good health, nor does poor posture always lesult in lack of health. Good pos- ture enables the body to function well mechailicallyjv while fault^y pasture may lead to the displacement of im- portant organs, thus interfering with their proper functioning, which, in turn, may cause pain or other symptoms. An understanding of the causes of poor posture enables us to prevent or correct the con4ition. An important cause is fatigue, because when the muscles are relaxed, as a result of fatigue, there Occurs loss of the sup- port which the muscles normally pro- vide, and the result is poor pasture. The afternoon re-st for children up to school ago is one practical niOans ol avoiding fatigue and, in this way securing good posture. When the young child is lifted or carried adequate support should be given him, as otherwise, a stress is pla >pd upon tho muscles, which they arc unable to meet because they arc not sufficiently developed. The mat- tress of a child's bed should be <'irm and even, with no sagging. The child who has nevar been giyen a pillow does not miss it and, in fact, is better without it. Good posture cannot be hoped for unless the body is properly nourished by a balanced diet. Poor posture is one syaiptom of malnutrition which in turn, is often associated with CatiKue. A'n adjodate suipply of vitamiijs and minerals is essential for grMxl nutrition, and that is why cod liver oil and orange juice are intro- (lu*-ed early into the child's diet. Poor posture may be largely a mat- ter of habit, growing out of a slouch- ing position while reading or sitting at a desk. Clothing which constricts the lx)dy or restricts its free and com- fortable movement interferes with good posture and may cause stooping shoulders. The securing of good posture de- pends, in large measure, upon the points mentioned. Without making the child self-conscious, he should be enonuraired to sit and stand erect, and to develop his muft.les through play. The Ottawa Letter The result of the elections could have been guesiicd by the behaviour of the members of the House of Com- mons. The night of the election the Liberals were in such a rollicking mood, marching up anj down the corridors to the music of Tom Reid's pipes, shouting and singing, that the Prime Minister thought it best to ad journ the House at 10 o'clock. But the celebration went on with a jubil- ant hang-over that made the House turbulent eyery day in the week. The day after the election a beauti- ful basket of red roses, tied with lots or red, red ribbon, adorned the desk formerly occupied by the Premier- elect of Ontario, Mitchell F. Hepburn. The entrance of Mr. King into the Chamber of the House of Commons gave the Liberals a chance to express their surfeit of joy and on the Orders of the Day, Mr. King asked the Prime Minister if he did not think, in view of the result of the elections, that he should dissolve the House and appeal to the country. IMV. Bennett, sup- ported vigorously by his party's ap- plause, rose with great dignity to reply: "The Government will advise His Excellency as to the dissolution when in the opinion of the Govern- ment dissolution is desirable in the interests of the country." The Liberals are exhibiting a new energy in debate and have been this week converted to the principle of public ownership of the Central Bank. Previously, Hon. W. D. Euler, Ian MacKenzie, and Chubby Power were voices crying in the wilderness of the Liberal party. Now I suppose the official Opposition believes it necess- ary to take a position opposite to that of the Government and so they be- come the proponents of public owner- ship of the Central Bank. I am delighted that the new public works program of forty million dol- lars, announced in the House of Com- mons this week, is to be financed with new money. It is true the Prime Minister gave an elaborate explana- tion of it connecting it with gold, which is simply camouflage. At the world conference in London the prin- ciple was laid down that a 25 per cent, anchorage of gold was sufficient for the larger part of currency. We have been using only 25 per cent, gold covi-rage up to .50 million dollars, and dollar for dollar after that for all note issue (not bank loans.) Under tho new plan 2.'5 pei; cent, is found to be adequate coverage up to 120 millions, with dollar for dollar above that figure. The difference makes it possible to issue 53 million dollars of u;w money against the same a- niount of gold, 40 of which are to b? used for tho public works pi-ogram. But after all is said and done, we have 53 million dollars new paper money on wihch the people do not need to pay interest, and which will be as effective in securing goods and services for tho people into whost pockets it finds its way as if it were solid gold. It is natio.nal credit put to thv,' use of tho nation, without pay- ing tribute to the banks. The Mackenzie King Govemnient, before the last election appointed per- manent returning officers in the var- ious constituencies but this week the Government of the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett changed tho Act in such a way that the returning officers for the coming Federal election will be the appointments of this Government. $600,000 has been voted to prepare a â€"HAVE YOU RENEWED?

Should the election come ihij year this first compilation will be "the" list, but in case of a delay until next year a revision would be iiecessary. It is significant that the election machinery is all being got ready. However the Government has a large and disciplined majority and need not go to the country unless it v/ishes. As Charles Bishop says jn the Ottawa Citizen, it can be goad- ed and taunted, but it cannot be budg- ed. Distressing details of sweat-shop conditions in eight shoe factories in Quebec were among the last evidence .submitted to the Steven.'. Committee this week. One plant which made substantial profits in four years paid fM average weekly wage to men of 19.39 and to women of |8.75. Eighty- ^.wo of the men received less than f5.00 a week and fifty per cent, of the men and boys in the plant last October received less than the mini- mum^ wage set for inexperienced women. When an investigator ask- pd a man how he existed on his wag- es, he replied that four families lived in one house, and that he ate only one piece of bread for lunch. In one department of fifty-five girls, only two made the minimum wage and boys received $2.50 and f3.- 00 for a week of 52 hours. According to the evidence, labor costs of $2 or $3 may go into a man's suit which department stores sell for $25 or $30. The auditors told of men, women and children working in their homes, stitching clothes at rates netting the whole family less than 50c a day, and of contractors offer- jng 35c, 40c or 50c for making a doz- en pairs of boys trousers. Members of the Committee were shocked anew by the material submitted. One plant farmed out an order of men's suits at the following rates; coats, 90c; trousers 35c; vests 32c. In some cases workers would be lucky if they netted $1.25 for the labor on a suit. The facts submitted make it clear that the farmer and fishermen each receive but a fraction of the consum- er's dollar. It v/as shown that while fishermen sell haddock at Ic a lb., the man who puts it in cold storage and packs it, called the distributor by the trade, sells it to the whole- i^aler for 4Vic; the wholesaler sells the same fish at 7e lb. and the retail- er charges the consumer lie lb. for jt. The fisherman gets ic out of <>very lie a lb. paid by the consumer. It is rumored that the Committee will be converted into a Rpyal Com- mission and continue its sittings after ♦he House rises, which, with the new energy displayed by the Liberal party, ;nay not be until after July 1st. I enjoyed my week at home in ,Southeast G:ey, even though it was in the whirlwind finish of an election /campaign, except for the day of the picnic, which found me so ill I could jiardly keep going. F. R. Oliver, with his majority of 2,689, had so little need of my help that I could /luite handily have done no work at all.
