H THURSTON & SON, Proprietori t Rhubarb Pie For Easter Eaiiter Sunday was celebrated in royal fashion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Ludlow at Victoria Corners. When we heard of the event our mouths watered in anticipation of what is ahead for us this spring. This great event mentioned above was a lovely pie made by Mrs. Lud- low from tender rhubarb shoots sev- en inches long that grew this spring. Mrs. Ludlow is an excellent cook and we know that the household would do justice to the sample of the culinary- art. Priceville W. 1. The regular monthly meeting of the Priceville Women's Institute was held at the home of Mrs. O'Dell with 12 members and 5 visitors present. The meeting opened by singing the Institute Ode followed by the Lord's prayer. The roll call was answered by a spring housecleaning hint after which the minutes of the former meeting were read and approved. Correspondence was read including a letter from Hopeville Institute who thanked us for invitation to joint- meeting in August. Those appoint- ed On the committee for a play in the near future were, Miss Sadie Oliver, Mrs. Gar. Whyte, and Mrs. W. Wat- son. The sum of $1.80 was realized from the patches taken off the shirt. Mrs. O'Dell gave a recital, "But we must go out on Sunday" which was vei-y mu«h enjoyed. Mrs. W. Watson gave a humorous reading on, "How to train husband." .\ demonstration on quUt patterns was also given. Communty singing was enjoyed and then "God save the king" was sung which closed the meeting. The host- ess and her assistants served lunch. ' KLmbfcrley Public School According to instructions received, there will be no monthly graded school reports appearing in the local newspapers in the future. Under the new course of study, class competition is not stressed, but rather the individual efforts of the pupil. It is tjjefefore of utmost im- portance that parents consult the re- port card of their children as to their progress. Should this appear unsat- isfactory we request that parents in- vestigate at once. We were very fortunate this month In having Messrs. Beamer, Brown, and Hippel of Meaford Naturalist Club put on several moving pictures on "Grey Owl," "Buffalo," "Deep Sea Fishing," and "Skiing.'' We are very thankful to the Hall Board who spon- sored it. G. Jenkins, principal. J. Carruthers, assistant.

After the election of officers and report of the executive on its activities for the years many matters of interest to the local tour- ist trade was discussed. Applica- tions for fish deposits in the varioua streams in the area were passed and a few left over for reports on the suitability of the waters. The executive was enthusiastic at the outlook but would like to have a wide public interest displayed espec- ially along th3 line of law enforce- ment and plans are being made to bring the objects of the association before the general public.

THE DOGS OF TUCSON Under the above heading the Daily Star of Tucson, Arizona, in a leading editorial, comes to the defence of the city's dogs. It strikes The Advance the same timely comment might apply to some other towns, even to Flesherton. The Star says: Because there are dogs whose bark- ing at night disturbs some of the cit- izens, a general plea is made by those who have no love for a dog that all such dogs be at once destroyed. Of course there are dogs that bark at night and they are e.xceedingly annoying, but their owners, rather than the dogs, should bear the blame. ?Jo real lover of his dog will allow him to become a public nuisance, roaming at will during the hours of night. Every dog owner who really loves his dog will guard against giv- ing occasion for enemies of the dog to defame him. The man who keeps a dog just as a watchman and leaves him out at night to disturb the neigh- borhood, should be dealt with by the civic authorities as wholly responsible, instead of the dog.

There is a growing dissatisfaction that Canada makes appeals on consti- tutional Matters outside our own shores and a strong feeling that such action is not in harmony with our autonomous status. And, in addition, dissatisfaction with the decisions is interesting. Over a long period, the decisions handed down by ttie Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (in Great Britain) have tended to in- crease the power of the provinces and decrease the federal power and have, in no small degree, contributed to the disharmony that today e-tists between ceptable chairman, and the perfect ' order was proof of the high quality j of ihe programme from beginning to j end. I The opening was a chorus by the I school, "Santa Lucia." The boys' or- 1 chestra was prcmir.cat in the" pro- gramme and always popular. The outstanding event, as always, but never more than this year, was the valedictor>- address which was given by Miss Ethel Fenwick, one of the graduating class. The chaii-man, assisted by Mr. Hale, presented the diploma to Mis^s Fenwick. Miss Beat- rice .Max\vell. the other member of the graduating class was unavoidably ab- sent. Two unusual, fiays were given by the scholars of tiie school in a competition. The first was. "The attention of the House of Commons in the form of a BiU by Hon. C. H. Cahan. Mr. Cahan is a constitution- alist of note and so orthodox in his methods and ideals that he is some times called "the last ox the Tories." No one would think of questioning his loyalty. Yet he said that it is a mark of servility and inferior status for Canada to retain the Privy Coun- cil as a final coui^ of the land and that through the years the Privy Council has frustrated the v^lear in- teat of the fathers of confederation, as expressed in the British North America Act, "For all practical purposes,'' Mr. Cahan said, "the sovereignty of Can- ada in civil and constitutional mattere now resides in the Judicial Committee (of the Privy Council in Great Bri- tain).

Mae Stephen; Schoolboys, Earl Neil, Bill Stephen and George Osborne; Bob, a labourer, Guy Poole; Sergeant, Norman David- son. This play won the popularity prize, two boxes of chocalates. A backward drill was splendidly done by the girls of the school and also an Indian dance in costume. The chor- us. "Whistle While 'Sou Work" was sung by the school. A Dutch dance was presented by Misses Norma Heit- man, Roma Whiteoak. Evelyn Hale, and La Verna Sntith. Probably one of the most popular numbers was the boys' tumbling and pyramids under the leadership of Messrs. Mae Steph- en and Ronald Springgay. The form- al part of the programme was dosed by singing the National Anthem. The lion's share of the success of the evening is no doubt due to the principal. Miss Margai-et Bonis, and The Osprey Municipal Council met according to adjournment at Max- well, on Saturday, .April 9th; all the members were present and the Reeve, Mr. Lockhart. was in the chair. The minutes and proceedings of the form- er meetings were read and upon being found correct were adopted as read. In response to the advertisement for tenders for the crushing and haul- ing of gravel, tenders were received from Mr. D. Wet>er of Kimberley for crushing and hauling, and from Mr. C. Lockhart of Singhampton for haul- ing. Mr. J. Poole, as sheep valuer, sent in a report for a sheep which was claimed to have been killed by dogs. -As Mr. Poole stated in the re- port that he was very doubtful if dogs had been the cause of its death, the report will be held over until such time as further evidence has been heard. .As the Council was disappointed in not receiving more tenders for the crushing of gravel, it was decided to increase the amovmt to 7,500 yards, and the clerk was instructed to ask for further tenders in the Canadian Engineering, said tenders to close on -April 30th. when a meeting will be held to consider those \rh:ch have been received. Mr. W. Parker await- ed on the Council and asked for some aid until such time as he could pro- cure work. This was granted to the extent of $7.00.

Four Generations arrogate to themselves the right to j j^^^. weigh the motives of msnitiers of this Parliament in enacting such legisla- tion and, although personally ignorant except through meagre press reports of the social, industrial and commei-c- cial conditions prevailing throughout this Dominion, they arrogate to them- selves a prescience and clairvoyance which entitles them to substitute their political judgment and even their per- sonal preferences for the deliberate legislative enactments of the elected representatives of the people who sit in the Parliament of Canada. " In conluding a remarkable address, one that will live in the constitutional history of Canada, this "6 year old giant of a man, both physically and mentally, labored under strong emo- tion. By the deepening of his voice and the hesitation of his manner, the depth of feeling which shook him was transmitted to the whole House, the which were drawn to him in sym- pathy. "As I near the close of a long aiul active life," he said, replete it some- times seems to me, with much of adversity and personal disappointment I have one supreme desire, and that is to see Canada becoming more stal- wart, strong and self-reliant, courag- eously confronting all its domestic difficulties, intelligently assuming its national responsibilities and partici- pating, as an autonomous dominion . . , in « satitfactory solution of the complex political problems of this era of time in which Providence has placed US." assistant.

Strong speeches in support of the abolition of appeals were made by the Minister of Justice, the Hon. Ernest Tjipointe, J. T. ThoTson, for years Dean of the Law Schix^l in Manitoba Univenity. and by Mr. J. S. Woods - worth, who has given much thought (CoTittnnsd on pag* 4) (Grand Valley Star & Vidette) .A proposal is being placed before the Ontario Property Owners', .Asso- ciation to confine municipal votes to property owners. .At present a man who does not own property has the right to vote and has just as much influence as the property owner to elect a candidate to Council. The idea of depriving those who do not own property the right to vote in municipal elections has been advanc- ed before. We believe it would be very wrong and very undemocratic to take away from non property owners the right to vote in municipalities in which they reside. We are of the opinion that if the right to vote were taken away from the above named citizens that it would be a step back- ward and cause great dissension among our people. The non prop- erty owner in most cases is jus-t as interested in the municipality in which he lives a,« the property owner. The house they rent is their home and indirectly they pay municipal taxes through rent. On major projects only property owTiers can vot(» snd to this extent the property owr>er is protected.

County roads expenditures for tba County of Grey for the year 193& will run to an estimated $113,840, ac- cording to the report of the County Road Committee of the Grey County Council, presented by Reeve T. H. Randle of Meaford, Chairman of the Committee The only capital expend- iture will be $13,500 for the purchase of two pow^er graders. New roads added to the county roads system at the January session have been approved by the Depart- ment of Highways, the report said. The committee had inspected most of the roads in the system, including the new additions, and "we found all the roads in very fair condition, although there were indications that there had been soft spots earlier in the season. The patrolmen have repaired these soft spots satisfactorily, and no more trouble from frost heaving is antici- pated."' Wages for employees were set as follows: patrolmen $4 per day and find own transportation; grader op- erators 45 to 50 cents per hour, they to find fh.^ir own transportation: lab- orers 25 to 30 cents per hour; man and team 50 cents per hour. The committee proposed to apply apnrniTir>jately the same quantity of calcium chloride as last year. Under a previous committee report the coun- ty is to be given a 60-foot-right-of- way on all roads added to the county system.

The new property is on the 8th concession of the Township of Glenelg, and will cost the county an- other $1,750. There was considerable discussion before the report was finally adopted, as some of the members expressed the opinion that with paying a care- taker $60 a month, free house, free wood and $10 a month for his car up- keep, it would be an expensive prop- osition. t-ducation will cost Grey County in the neighbourhood of $2,000 less than -".St year, according to the report of the Education Committee passed the s-me afternoon.

"If I had definite information about people using county snow fence I w-ould soon have the provincial police after them." replied the Engineer "Even the Warden hasn't been given permission to use snow fence for oth- er purposes in his municipality." It is a problem, the engineer said, and added that 500 to 600 feet are taken each year. It is a question whether it would be cheaper to gath- er all snow fence into a central place or let it remain as at present with the chance that it might be stolen. DIED Mr. D.
