THURSTON, - Assoc Editor SHALL THE FKILLS GO? When the British North America Act was passed, section 58 declared that there shall be an officer called the Lientenant-tjovernor for each province, appointed by the Uoiuinioii Uovernnient and that he shall hold office during the pleasure of the Fed- eral authorities, but shall not be re- movable within five years from his appointment, except for cause assign- ed. There is nothing in law, how- ever, providinjc that this officia: is to have, at public expen.se, any grant from the public purse in audition to a salary, which is paid to him by the Ciovernment of the Uommion. On several occasions, when Liberal governments were in powc at To- ronto, Conservative members raised the question of abolition of (Govern- ment House on account of expense. Ihe records show that they objccteo to the residence, which had beer, ere't- ed on a corner of the old provincial grounds at King and Simcoe ^'reets, at a cost of $78,300, and there wore the annual expenditures for repairs and ornamentation of grounds. The motion to dispense with the residence â- was supported by Mr. Meridith, the Conservative leader, but :t was op- posed by the Mowat Government, and defeated. At a later date, when Gov- ernment House had to be vacated to make way for railway improvements, Sir James Whitney declared that *hore â- was no necessity for providing a To- ronto residence for the Lienteiiant- Governor. Sir Jame.s got into power, however, and was prevailed upon to erect the present builfiing at a cost exceeding a million dollars, and to provide it with furnishings that a<l(lcd many thousands of dollars to tht original outlay. For thi.s, the Whit- ney Government was severely critici-/,. ed, especially when the cost of main- tenance went up. This did not pre- vent the Drury Government later on from increasing the expenditure, de- spite pre-election denounciation of the "pross extravagance." Keceiit events have revived the question. It has been felt by very many that the cost of the office to the Province has been altogether too ^reat in these times of difficulty to make ends meet and suffering' ol many from lack of employment anc ftigh taxes. And it was argued by the new Prime Minister and many others, in the recent campaign, that the present respected incumbent of the office might greatly aid in effect- ing improvements if he wore to resign the office and allow Sir William Mulock, the Chief .Justice of the Pro- vince, to resume duties of the office, •which he was called upon to perform when there was no appointed Lieul- enant-t;overnor in 1<.I31 and 1!>32, the then hol<ler of th'i position being away on leave of absence and the Government at Ottawa not seeing fit to make a new appointment. The new Prime Minister apparently has nothing but kindly feeling to- â- wards Dr. Bruce, the present holdei â- of the olfice, but he has pledged him- self to elfect re<luction in the cost to the taxpayers of the highy ornament- al offi 'e, and indeed taxpayers gener- ally will be inclined to hold him to his promise in this regard, even though strongly urgc<l by Toronto "upper- dom" to change his mind. ing disturbances of their haunts by motor boats and noises arising from the establishment of summer resid- ences. Like the trout, they court solitude. No advertising for them! « • • During the next couple of months the young people of this district will spend considerable time in the old swimming hole. So far this year two little folk have had close calls from drowning, and parents are warn- ed to urge continued vigilance on the part of the older swimmers for the smaller brothers and also to curb rowdyism which becomes prevalent at times. One source of great dangei is the use of tires by tnose unable to swim. Only last week a youngstei fell off one- of these when it tipped and was rescued by one of the bigger boys close by. iWhat would have occurred if lad had been by himself or with those of his own age is not hard to picture. We have been quite free of drowning accidents here and we wish to keep our record clean.

Wright Dies Suddenly At Hanover Robt. Wright of Hanover, one of l(lesherton'!| most prominent "old â- boys," died suddenly at his home early Thursday morning last from a heart attack. He had been in ill health for some months and, although confined to his bed, appeared in ex- cellent spirits when his brother, John, visited him on Wednesday afternoon. The late Robt. Wright was foi many years a high school principal and on the death of N. W. Campbell of Durham 18 years ag'o, succeeded him as Inspector of Public Schools in South Grey. He was active in his work until a couple of weeks be- fore his death. He was highly re- spected as a citizen and in his school work held the confidence and esteem of all the scholars. Besides his sorrowing wife the late Mr. Wright leaves two brothers, IJiavid, principal of Dundalk high school and John of Flesherton. He was an active member of Trinity United church, Hanover. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon with service at his late residence at 2 p.m., Rev. A. N. Coop- er officiating. Interment took place in Hanover cemetery.

It tloefn't take a botanist to dis- cover that plants suffer during a de- pression. An important statement entitled "Lambs of Quality," has just been issued by the Industrial and Develop- ment Council of Canadian Meat Pack- ers, as follows: The production of good quality wether and ewe lambs of suitable weight and finish will continue to be encouraged this year. Commencing on July 2nd in Ontar- io and the west, buyers will pay two cents a pound more for ewe and weth- er lambs than for bucks. The marnets will pay up to a cent a pound more for lambs of good qual- ity up to 90 lbs. at the stockyards and plants, than for lambs from !)0 to 110 Ibs^ and up to two cents i>er pound more than for lambs over 110 lbs. Farmers have for years been urged to meet the simple requirements of the market in order to secure top prices by castrating all male lambs and finishing and marketing lambs ivithin the desired weights. The maimer in which the producer lias responded to the market require- ments is well exemplified by the de- crease itt the offerings of buck lambs during the season when they are most objectionable. The appreciation of the value of quality by farmers ha."" resulted in a decrease in the market- ings of buck lambs at Toronto from 10.6 per cent from August to Decem- ber in 1926, to 1.8 per cent for the same period in lO.'B. At Montreal the improvement in quality by the elimination of the "buck" has beei slower but was reduced to 8 per cent, in 1933 compared with 33 per cent, in 1926. It is further urg«d that all produc- ers should make money by: 1. Dock- ing all lambs early in the sprinj:. 2 Castrating all male lambs when from ten days to three weeks old. 3. Feed- ing all lambs so that they will finish at weights from 75 to 85 lbs., not over 90 lbs. 4. Picking out of the flock the earliest and fastest growing lambs and marketing them. 5. Marketing lamhs as soon as they are ready as the price will probably be higher early in the season than in the la^e fall. G.
