KI. 4344 Smooth Sailing For Canada's War Effort With the federal electiSRs now neatly placed away as part of Can- ada's history, there appears to be fairly smooth sailing ahead for the country in its effort to help the allies win the war. The most cheerful note of the week is the highly conimend- able attitude of those citizens who supported the national government idea. Most of their leaders who fought a losing cause, have publicly pledged themselves to the support of a united Canada. About the only disturbance of such a united effort appears on the horizon in Alberta, where .Aberhart is still fooling some of the people. It is fairly safe to guess by the attitude of key men at Queen's Park that the Ontario situation, arising out of Pre- mier Hepburn's disagreement with Prime Minister King, has been eased considerably. At the present moment, neither Hepburn nor the Ontario Lib- eral organization desires a provincial election, and for Mr. Hepburn to re- new the feud against Ottawa would certainly mean a provincial election in the view of shrewd observers. With the new goveniraent pledged to kep one eye on the efficient conduct of the war and the other on safe- guards for Canada's economic struc- ture, both during and after the war, two danger spots will be watched closely by the eye which is looking after the economic front. These spots are communism, wher- ever it burrows from underneath across the country, and socal credit in Alberta. Those who believe that the nation can maintain its integrity and make progress in world competition only by a strong adherence to the policy of honesty, find comfort in the fact that as a result of the Alberta elections, the debt-repudiating social credit government now represents very def- initely a minority vote of the electors. And in the federal election, their re- presentation was cut in tow. Aberhart, for all his promises, has done nothing but pass unconstitution- al legislation purporting to lead to the social credit millenium. He knew the legislation to be unconstitutional when he passed it. His most important items of legislation have led to his being defeated in the courts of Alberta; defeated in the Supreme Court of Canada; defeated before the federal cabinet with disallowances, and defeated before the Privy Council in England â€" the high court of the empire. I Child Recovered (By Victoria Corners Corr.) 'When Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Stinson took their infant son to Toronto last week, the doctors there pronounced him cured, and decided no more treat- ments, neither at home nor at Toron- to, were necessary. It is wonderful what can be done by science, perse- verance and getting a start before the trouble was rooted. Donnic is a fine big healthy boy now, and repays the parents for all they did. First, a year going to Toronto evei-y week, then ten weeks and so extended, seemed a long time ahead, but he made such good progress that the time wss cut shorter. 222 THRESHER FIRES IN PAST FIVE YEARS At the '20th annual convention of the Ontario Brotherhood of Thn>sh- ermen at Waterloo it wa.s drawn to the attention of those present that during the past five years there have been 222 thresher fires in Oiitario with a total loss of $118,485. In two or three fires there was nejcligence, as the tractors were set over sections of strawstacks and sparks had started the fires. Ontario is practically the only province having thrcpher fires to any extent it was a condition hard to explain. One member reported that three fires in his di.strict last year were all in steel barns. There were none in frame^ bams, he said The fires were in hot weather he said- There were none in cold weather. ; The driver told the constable, after the collision, that he was prepared tor give the lady driver coming toward him half the road, just as «oon ts ha was able to ascertain whch half she wanted. ' Presentation To "^ A Future Bride Over one hundred friends gathered at "The Maples" hall on Wednesday evening of last week, to honor Miss Nellie Stephens and the groom-to-be with a presentation and shower. Mr. Geo. I. Nodwell acted as chainnan. During the evening an occasional chair was presented by the School Board, and a lace table cloth by the Institute. Miss'^attileen Reid read following address: Dear Nellie and Coram : â€" We, your friends, take this opportunity on the (jpcasion of your approaching mar- riage, to congratulate .vou on this important and happy event in your life. You, Nellie, have .t>een with us almost four years as a teacher in our school and a willing helper in the social activities of this community, and words fail to express our regret at losing you, but our loss is another's gain. We ask you to accept this address and these gifts as a token of our good wishes for .vou. May they in future years remind you of happy days and your many friends at '"The Maples." Signed on behalf of your many friends: Mary Nodwell, Kathleen Reid. Marion Mack, Marjorie Simpson, Mar- garet Moote, Arnold Oliver. In a few well-chosen words Miss Stephens thanked them for the splen- did co-operation she had enjoyed dur- ing her almost four-year stay. Mr. Hustler also thanked them for the gifts. Speeches were then made by the members of the School Board Lunch was served and dancing was resumed until the small hours of the morning. New Books At Library!
