I had a note from Nellie McClung yesterday in which she says: "Agnes, thi» refugee problem is getting me down. . . . See the United Church Observer March 15th editorial. We must do something or be forever disgraced." The editorial Nellie men- tions tells of two ministerial families, who write to the Observer saying that they would like to adopt a re- fugee child, but the editorial points out that the government has made no provision for such adoption. "As a Christian people, we must continue to urge our government to see to it that these, our brothers, whose only crime is an accident of birth or po. litical opinions should be given com- passionate consideration. We live in a favored land. 'We have our own problems, it is true, and our own difficulties and yet, in spite of these, there is ample opportunity in Canada for a group of children whom Chris- tian people could adopt. And there is little danger that our country would be disturbed were a selected number of adults permitted to enter from their war-torn and harrassed homelands," the editorial states. The chairman of the Canadian Na- tional Committee on Refugees, G. R. Booth of Toronto, stated the other day that a million people are seeking .sanctuary as a result of the activities of Hitler and Mussolini, and he de. plored the fact that Canada was doing nothing. Lord Winterton told the House of Lords recently that "Not one of the thirty-two countries represented on the Committee ( international refugee ) would accept either on moral grounds or as a practical step any liability for the transfer of refugees." In his opinion, governments feared to act lest anti-Semitism be stirred up or their people's restiveness be increased. The Ottawa citizen says, editorally, "It is one more evidence of the decay of moral force in the world. Unemployment has been the major subject before the House since I last wrote you. Dr. Blair of North Wel- lington and Mr. Warren of North Ren- frew were extremely critical of the single_ transient unemployed. Blair said that these spineless fellows, rambling about . . . expect to be car. riod in an economic sedan-chair and to be spoon-fed. In another place in his speech he called them city bums and yaps. Warren's language was more restrained. But members in all | parts of the House made speeches in repudiation. They did not wish it to be thought that these two men had expressed their views. M. J. Coldwell, C.C.F., and many members of other parties pointed out that the transients are for the most part boys or young men who cannot bear any longer to be a burden on their families and so they set out to seek work, showing thereby more initiative than the youth who stays with his family and receives relief. Then, too, the seasonal character of a Kood deal of Canadian laborâ€" lum- bering, farming, some secondary in- dustries â€" has devclopetl the transient worker ,who goes from job to job, even when times are not as difficult as now, and Mr. Coldwell quoted the recommendations made by the Em- ployment Commission, showing the great need of establishing domicile for such workers. Mr. Coldwell took the stand that Parliament should not prorogue until the problems of agriculture and un. employment had been more definitely dealt with. Some very fine ideas were expressed by Mrs. Black. She said that it was a matter of personal indifference to her which party vvas in power, that she thought all should get together in an earnest endeavour to solve the problem of unemployment, that the greatest natural resource is the hu- man, and that if we did not succeed in finding a solution we would reap the whirlwind. Possibly the beat speech was made by H. H. Stevens. He does make very fine speeches. However, on this oc- casion he covered a wide field, too comprehensive for our space. He said he was struck by the apathy shown toward this great problem of unem- ployment, and by the resistance of the government toward constructive suggestions made from all parts of the House. He took severely to task those who quoted "The poor ye have always with you," as an apology for fanure. He exhorted the House to remember another quotation, "Bear ye one another's burdens."

IN MEMORIAM ALEXANDER â€" In loving memory of Robert Alexander, who departed this life April 27th, 1936. Beside your grave we often stand With hearts both crushed and sore, But in the gloom the sweet words come Not lost, but gone before. God knows how much we miss you. He counts the tears we shed. And whispers, "He only sleeps; Your loved one is not dead." So we'll be brave, dear Father, And pray to God each day. And when he calls us home to you Your smile will lead the way. Ever remembered by Wife and Family. Trout Season Opens April 29 D. J. Taylor, Deputy minister of Honest Dealings Since opening this new creamery our business has trebled both in cream and eggs.

Goddard, Manager Game and Fisheries, has announced that Ontario sportsmen will have an extra week end of angling for the wary speckled trout this year as the season opens on April 29th in- stead of May 1st as in former years. The trout are expected to be more plentiful this year because of ex. tensive re-stocking arrangements the past several seasons. Here is one for those scientific chaps to work out: If a woman is afraid of a mouse, and a man is afraid of a woman, just how brave is a man?
