These are matters which the Board does â€" well to supervise. We are sure that all rightâ€" thinking citizens will gladly coâ€"operate in order that the community may not suffer. Carelessâ€" ness in regard to these things may have very serious consequences. Indifference and neglect are frequently the cause of widespread epidemics. The Board is but doing its duty in safeguarding the health of the people by putting into effect measures for their protecâ€" â€"â€"â€".tion and seeing that they are carried out. â€"â€"â€" NEW 4HGHWAY BETWEEN MARTIIN‘S {â€" CORNER AND HEIDELBERG | | FORMALLYâ€"OPENED f 1 O 0 kmmi wurireal s . zl2 _0 _ PDCTIIIA® Q| |UEUCMLIAI FEBU/IS wil materiniize as predicted. | 1924 WHEAT CROP SHOULD | The public discussions serve to emphasize | BE NEARLY $400,000,000 | }the viewpoint of the two parties and they W smm smm im im ammommomcâ€"â€"umrmcme # | 216 arousing a deeper interest among The fine warm weather of the past week or|the people in the policies inaugurated which two is helping Western crops materially and |promise to have a vital bearing on the pros there are those who now predict that the wheat‘perity and wellâ€"being of the Dominion. All those associated with the project and who worked so dili}zenfly to secure the building of the present fine highway from Martin‘s Corner to Heidelberg and St. Clements, as well as those who were instrumental in securâ€" ing the extension of hydro power to that localâ€" ity, are to be complimented on these evidences of progressiveness and enterprise, With the completion of the last link ol'f permanent highway between Waterloo and St.~ Clements, comprising that portion between| Martin‘s Corner and Heidelberg, another step forward has been made in providing the County with permanent roadways. The event was fittingly marked on Labor Day by a celebration; which attracted hundreds from all parts of the county. Not only were interested olficialsJ present, including those from the townships| and county council, but the parliamentary representatives from both the North and the South ridings were also in attendance, all of | whom felicitated the community on the fine new highway just completed. Reeve Woods of Woolwich Township, who | took a prominent and leading part in sccuring‘ the permanent highway and who acted a.\') chairman of the gathering at Heidelberg, made reference to the interesting fact that the roadr was first opened in 1836, nearly one hundred | years ago. Reeve Reide}, who was also active‘ in securing the construction of a permanent | roadway to St. Clements in Wellesley Townâ€" ship, emphasized the cost of the constant reâ€" pairing of the former road as revealed by the vouchers for the past fifteen years, the mone,v/ spent aggregating an amount almost as much,’ as the pavement just completed had cost and then the road lacked permanency. t With the increase in motor traffic the keeping of the principal roads of travel in good | condition has become increasingly â€" burdenâ€" some to the townships and it is coming to be| recognized that the permanent roadway is the most economical in the long run. The event also marked the supplying of hydro power and light to the community, which is proving such a boon to the rural districts. | CASH RETURN FROM CANADA | 1924 WHEAT CROP sSHOULD I BE NEARLY $400,000,000 The Kitchener Board at a recent meeting also took decisive action in regard to the butchers‘ abbatoir on Guelph St. with aâ€" view to having it kept in a more sanitary condition. are also being inspected. The aim is to ensure that clean, wholesome milk is supplied to the citizens of Kitchener. Recently the Board of Health of the city of Kitchener has been active in seeing that the regulations put in force from time to time are lived up to. During the pastâ€" week or two a survey of the milk situation has been made by a representative of the Provincial Board of Heaith, including an inspection of the milk sold by retailers and the creameries. It was ascertained that some storeâ€"keepers allow the milk to reach a temperature of 70 to 75 degrees whereas it should show a temperature of not more than about 45 degrees, these storeâ€" keepers not having proper cooling facilities. The sources from which the milk is secured In both Kitchener and Waterloo the Boards of Health are alive to the importance of maintaining healthful conditions by keeping the community free from contagious and other diseases. The inauguration of a garbage collecâ€" tion system in Waterloo this year was another step forward in conserving the health of the people, providing a means whereby accumâ€" ulations of waste and rubbish of all kinds could be removed. It materially assists houseâ€" holders to keep the surroundings of their properties clean and sanitary and they are taking an increased interest in making their places of abode neat and attractive. it 4 xta Both leaders are utilizing the intermission before Parliament again assembles, to discuss public issues and are touring the provinces at the present time. There have been some rather heated exchanges between the leaders of these two parties, the tariftf changes of course being the main issue on which there is a distinet difference of opinion. As to the effects of the changes in the tariff made by the Government it is too early to form a conclusive opinion but Premier King and his Government believe that beneficial results will materialize as predicted. he oltained from London was a "50â€"50" agreeâ€" ment so fur as the financial provisions were concerned, the other Dominions dividing the fcmt of placing settlers equally between thc" two | contracting governments. { Settlers of the right type will always be welcome in Canzla as there are vast stretches | of fertile land yet to be settléd. ‘The move is ithm'efmv one in the right direction.

Then, he said, there could be open battle between those who stood for the best interests of the whole people of Canada and those who are standing for the dintorests of the few who enjoyed special privileges. It was not so long ago that Hon. Arthur Meighen, leader of the Conservatives, challâ€" enged Premier King to go to the country on the issues being diseussed by the leaders, particularly on the tariff, but there is little indication of an clection this fall as Premier King does not deem that this is the wish of the people generally. At Woodstock recently Canada‘s Premier, flight Hon. W. L. Mackenzic King, issued a call to the Progressives who were of like mind with fthe Liberals to join forees with the ____The project will be financed by the British Government, Hon, Mr. Robb having persuaded Great Britain that it is in her interests to do so.

The British Government will supply each family with about $1,500, this to be given on a 25â€"yearâ€"payment basis. Canada‘s part in the pact is to select and place these people on the land, and in a helpâ€" A summary of the agreement indicates a long step forward in the arrangements beâ€" tween Canada and Great Britain for the populating of Canadian land with British people. . Hon. Jas. A. Robb, Acting Minister of Finance and Minister of Immigration and Colonization, while in England recently, signed on behalf of Canada an agreement with the British Government for the settlement of people from the Mother Country on Canadian land. f When â€"these figures are considered, toâ€" gether with the fact that there were good crops in the Eastern provinces as well, with prices showing an upward tendency, agricul ture, our basic industry, will not only be materially â€"benefitted â€"but â€"the â€"prospority â€"of agriculture will have a beneficial effect on trade and industry generally throughout Canada.
