To quote: "If the Bank of Montreal, or any other bank, can issue credit against the bonds of this country, v»hy could not the Bank of Canada issue credit against these bonds and issue it on a non-interest bearing basis?

DUNCAN Phone 54 -:- Flesherton, OnL THE OLD RED ROOSTER The last i-oan cow crossed the ditch and entered the pasture field. The gate was closed behind her, ending the chores on this .Sunday morning in July. I looked across the bushy stretch of timothy heads at a small shack just over the fence. It wae the Some distance down the road, aa old truck turned in the lane of the Bugg homestead. Mrs. Bugg urged her charge homeward â€" "Boss give you hell," she admonished; and as aa afterthought added bitterly, "May- be he give me hell too." It was the memory of this episode that directed my steps toward the little shack. But when I arrived the suggested fireworlcs of the day before home of the old Polish couple, Mr. and Mrs. Bugg, who were completing had passed away and the old folks were beaming with smiles. In simple jerky phrases we talked about the weather and other current events. Meanwhile, there struted up and down on the railroad bed before the cottage door a big fat red rooster with chin their days in this new land of thei^ adoption. Their piece of land was a narrow strip formerly occupied by one of those ill-advised and ill-fated electric railroads which radiated from our larger Ontario cities. After the strapping "f the line the land had â-  up and colors flying vate concerns which bears inteiest. By doing so, Canada could, in 24 years exchange all her interest debt (Federal.

The chartered banks lend this debt- burdened money (interest) to theling her most contrary Holstien cow governments which, by way of taxes, on the concession. Hoeing mangles passed into the hands of "Canadian business men" who Canadianized the gullible "foreigners" by selling it to them at a figure several times its actual value. On the day before that of which 1 speak, Mrs. Bugg had been occupied with the aggravating task of watch- collected money from the people to pay the interest.

"She very bad cow," said the old lady plying a long switch on the stubborn animal. 'Where are the hens?" I inquired. "No hens; him all we got," said the old man as spokesman. "Why don't you eat him?"

The Trade Ti-eaty between Canada and the United States, which was signed so shortly after Mr. King's coming: into power, is now before the House. Both leaders have used it a.s an opportunity to tell of the sins of omi.s.sion and commission of the other. Mr. Kinjr blames Mr. Ben- nett for not puttinjr the treaty throuph earlier, and Mr. Bennett charK'es Mr. Kinjr with havinp sold his country out. Both of them went back into ancient history and built up a lonjr elaborate case, which nmy have historical value but certainly is not interesting to listen to. I have a feelinpT that the people, both in the House and out, have less interest than ever before in political wranfflinsr. In sharp contrast was the very co- operative and penerous debate on the need of eniployinpr experts on various tiational and international subjects in the Prime Minister's office, in order that the Prime Minister may have -iome time and energy left to con- sider policy. In this case each sought to help the other and all members were sympathetic, realizing, at least in part, the terrific burden put upon the first minister of the Crown in these troubled and difficult days. The sympathy of the community goes out to the parents ond relatives of the late Miss Mary Wyville, who passed away on the afternoon of Feb. 27th. The funeral service was held on .Sunday, March 1st in the Pilgrim Holiness Chapel and was well attend- ed. Rev. H. B. .lackson preached a comforting sermon, taking as his text the words found in Rev. 14-13. He emphasided the fact that the de- ceased who for six years had been a consecrated teacher of High School subjects in the Bible school, and had given her all in the service for others was "At Rest." Miss Myrtle Watson of Durham sang a solo very sweetly. Beautiful floral offerings covered the casket. The flower bearers being the young men of the school, and the pallbearers were six cousins of the deceased: Mestsi-s. Walter Nicholls, William Nicholls, Clarence Nicholls, Frank Montgomery, Gordon Wyville md Albert Wyville. Interment was made at Dundalk cemetery. Friends from a distance attending the funeral were Mr. Walter Wyville of Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. J. Buiton. son and daughter of Toronto. Mr. ond Mrs. Joseph Park are both ill 'it n*^»«oTif. The first final hockey game be- tween Flesherton and Proton Station teams was played on the Flesherton rink last monday night and resulted in a n â€" 6 score in favor of Proton Hears. The death of Edward Rutherford, occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrt^. A. Miscampbell of Angus, on February 28th, li)36. The remains will come to Flesherton and inter- ment will be made there on March Mr. RutherfoVd, whose home for many years has been at Proton Stat- ion and who has always l>een well res- pected by a large circle of friends, will be greatly missed in this village.

His The Pres.s Women's Club at Ottawa is composed of a group of energetic, clever and likeable women whose MunilHMs have been swelkxl by the thrt'o women who are now in the Press Gallery of the House of Com- mons. This is the Club that was host to the four women parliament- arians: the Hon. C^iirine Wilson, the Hon. Iva Fallis, Mrs. Black, and I. So many women wanted to attend the luncheon that none of the small dining j-ooma in the Parliament buildings would accommodate them, .10 the unique party was set at a horse-shoe shaped table at the top of the main dining; room. After very exicellent food had been served, in- cludng a festive cake in honor of Mrs. Black's birthday, very interesting spewhea were made by several mem- bers of the Club reviewing the history of women and expressing joy that as many as four had come to Parliament to assist in the g'ovemment of Can- ada. We, too, each had an oppor- tunity of expressing the thoughts such an occasion inspired. AfiNES MACPHAU, House of Commons, 2/ [February 29, 1936. I" Ontario Highways Now Out Of Date Declaring that highaws built 10 or 15 years ago had become antiquated and unsuitable for present-day needs, A. A. Smith. Ontario's chief engineer of highways told the 22nd annual Conference on Road Improvement for ctmnty and township road superinten- dents' and engineers*, at Forester's Hall, Toronto, that roads were being designed to meet the increasing com- mon speed of 60 to 70 miles an hour. There were protests from a few of the 300 delegates in attendance that speeding should be em-bed first of all. One pointed out that, even if the roads were improved, accidents would still occur if people traveled at high speed. There was a sugf- gestion that more traffic policemen could be drawn from the ranks of the unemployed. Stricter ruling on glar- ing headlights was also urged. The Department of Highways felt, Mr. Smith said, that four-lane pave- ments should not be built without a centre boulevard separating the dif- ferent directions of ti-affic. Adequate pi-ovisions must also be made on the trunk roads, he said, for the pedes- trians. Otherwise, they would use the pavement Last year. 30 pedestrians were killed on the King's highway alone.
