Advertising copy must reach the office not later than Monday noon to insure insertion, Frqn the standpoint of securing the highâ€" est efficiency and maintaining â€"healthful surâ€" roundings at the fire hall which have hitherto been made objectionable owing to the odor arising from the horse stable, the action of the council will, we believe, generally appeal to the ratepayers as a sensible and logical move. At the same time it is well to bear in mind that the expenditure of large sums such as have heen authorized will naturally have the effect of keeping the tax rate up and all projects undertaken should therefore be carefully examined in order to determine whether the expenditure is justified or not. Vigilance should, however, be exercised to see that the debenture debt of the town is not increased unduly, although there will be little objection where it essential. __The town of Waterloo has received the tidy sum of 3,052 from the local power commission, being the difference between the amount paid by the town for street lighting for the past few years and the cost of supplying the power for the same. Rural users of hydro power in the vicinity have also had the pleasant experience of having their bills reduced by a substantial allowance recently. These allowances, it need hardly be said, were welcome ones to conâ€" sumers. ~ The annual rental for space in the baseâ€" ment of the market building in Waterloo hak been reduced by the council from $4.00 to $2.00 in order to encourage a larger number to utilize the tables there and to relieve the congestion on the main floor. The reduction. is a substanâ€" tial one and no doubt will have the, desired effect. The continued growth of the Waterloo market is a matter for satisfaction to citizens of the town. The market enables them to get a fresh and choice supply of produce for their tables each week while the farmers find a ready market for their products. . The disappearance of about a score of aviators with their airships in which they have endeavored to fly over the Atlantic has stirred up a strong sentiment against the needless loss of life‘involved. It is ¢ontended that a flight that merely accomplishes precisely what anâ€" ‘other flight hasâ€"already done, does nothing for the advancement of aviation. The Dominion Government has been in reâ€" ceipt of protests from various quarters and Premier Mackenzie King, in discussing the subâ€" ject, has intimated that the government was of the belief that the people of this country are strongly of the view that these hazardous air flights should be discontinued. ‘"There is room overland for experimental flying," comâ€" mented Mr. King. The Premier declared that Parliament may be asked to pass legislation at the next session to stop transâ€"Atlantic flying to and from the Dominion. ~ In response to public opinion several proâ€" jected flights have been abandoned. The search for the United States Monoplane, Old Glory, and the Canadian monoplane, Sir John Carling, have so far proven fruitless and other aviators are being urged to refrain from undertaking the perilous journey across the Atlantic. Two cities in the United States have withdrawn prizes of $25,000 for transâ€"Atlantic victories, while the U. S. Navy department is discouragâ€" ing these projected flights by refusing leave. TO COMPLETELY MOTORIZE FIRE DEPARTMENT » Although several successful flights across the Atlantic have been made, the hazards surâ€" rounding the crossing of the ocean by airship are such that it would appear wise to discourâ€" age them aAntil they can be surrounded with greater safeguards. While admiring the courâ€" ageous spirit animating those who venture to cross the Atlantic and while recognizing that this same spirit of willingness to dare the perils of the unknown has resulted in great disâ€" coveries, it is generally felt that~it would be wiser at the present timeâ€"to defer them rather than to encourage brave men to risk their lives, especially since it has already been demonâ€" strated that the Atlantic can be spanned by airship, as was signally shown by Lindbergh. STRONG SENTIMENTS AGAINST FURTHER OCEAN FLIGHTS SUBSTANTIAL ALLOWANCES RECEIVED it can be shown that expenditures are WATERLOO MARKET GROWS to the visit of 1,500â€"citizens from the land -u-a-‘.i.-nâ€"-‘ t mu.fl-am-umufinw-vnzm-“u:“z’u-:i aplmdtydoguiommmm‘!'m corporate limits highway.

P & hodortfip»bp'flm'tflhc The sack "The next most important thing to populaâ€" tion is that the people be induced to settle in communities. It is a great danger to hfve people growing up without the advantages of schools and churches. If people settle in comâ€" munities they will have these advantages from the first." It was also emphasized that more roads Gre needed in Northern Ontario both from the new trunk highway and from the T. and N. 0. It was urged that roads should be â€"built first and the settlers brought in afterwards instead ‘of the reverse which had been the case in years gone by. Thé Northern Ontario settlers who visited Southern Ontario the other day radéated opâ€" timism and enhusiasm for their part of the province and well they might. It contains poâ€" tentialities little dreamed of a comparatively short time ago in respect to agriculture as well as in regard to mine, fore‘st and stream. Growâ€" ing recognition of the importance of develop ing Northern Ontario is evidenced in the attenâ€" tion being given to this section of Ontario by the provincial government and by the people of the province. It undoubtedly has a great fuâ€" bure before it. â€" _ That the Dominion Minister of Finance is endeavoring to reduce the burden of interest charges is evident in the decrease recorded within recent years. The annual interest on the national debt is now $9,207,434 less thanâ€" in 1922, a very substantial decrease. Since Hon. Mr. Robb became Minister of Finance there has been a reduction of close to $105,000,000 in the net debt of Canada. This not only indiâ€" cates a satisfactory condition of business genâ€" erally but economical administration on the part of the Minister of Finance. Hon. Mr. Robb, who has just returned from: a trip to the Motherland, states that in Engâ€" land he found a very friendly feeling towards Canada. Among the reasons for this were the visit of their Royal Highnesses and Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Premier of Great Britain, to Canada recently. The healthful financial condiâ€" tion of public and industrial securities and the substantial increases of the standard financial stocks, has, according to Mr. Robb, also: aided aterfally in fostering a steadily increasing confiderice in the Dominion on the part of the people of Great, Britain. The legislation under which the Dominion Government will ~contribute. a substantial amount towards old age pensions if put into effect in any of the provinces, indicates the progress being made_with reference to the adoption of ideas which but a short time ago would have been regarded as quite radical. Public institutions. have been provided to care for the helpless and the afflicted for many years and society is happier and more efficient for having made this provision. As has been! truly stated, old age pensions, like mothers‘ pensions, are designed to maintained individual homes and to lighten a burden which otherwise would, im many cases, become intolerable. A}= though in numerous instances organized charâ€" ity is financed by voluntary contributions, there is evident a growing disposition to make it a charge on the whole community, hence: the enacting of such legislation as old age pensions. Enlightened public opinion will support the provision of institutions to care for the aged as well as for those afflicted in other ways, instead of letting them shift for themâ€" selves as was the former practice. CARING FOR THE AGED AND | | AFFLICTED | DEBT BURDEN LIGHTENED the form of a "noâ€"limit" spoed siatâ€" ute has gone into effect in Michigan. A novel feature of the law is thai while it does not s6t a géapral reguâ€" lation as to speedâ€"rates, it does proâ€" vide that a driver must have his car in complete control at all times in order to cope with prevailing traffic conditions. Likewise, it ‘bans the slow moyâ€" ing vehicle which crawls along narâ€" row roads at. an abnormailly â€"slow speed, holding up other traffic. ° $30,000 OFFERED FOR TRACE OF MISS8ING PLANES Supplementing the hugeâ€" mobilizaâ€" tion of naval vessels and army and navy planes in search for the two missing planes of the Dole flight United States to Hawail, rewards totalling $30,000 were offered for.the discovery of occupants of the lost machines. ¢ race from . the mainland of the James D. Dole, who posted the prizes for the\ flight, offered a re ward of $10,000 for discovery of the occupants of either of the lost maâ€" chimes, or $20,000 for the discovery of both of the crews. The remaining $10,000 of the $30,000 reward offers came from William F. Malloska of Flint, Mich., backer of the "Miss Doran," one of the lost planes, who made the offer for the recovery of the occupants of the "Miss Doran," dead or alive. AGNEB MACPHAIL SAYS NOT A DOLLAR Q‘: CANADA‘Sâ€" DEBT PAID "Not a dollar, not five cents of Canada‘s debt is paid," Miss Agnes Macphaill, M.P., declared emphaticâ€" ally, speaking at Glenannon‘s schoolâ€" house, five miles north‘ of Wingham, on behalf of Sheldon Bricker, United Farmers‘ candidate in the North Huron ‘byâ€"election. "If the wealth made out of the war had been taxed and conscripted the same as Canada‘s manpower there would be no Canadian debt toâ€" day," Miss Macphail affirmed. "Why was not wealth conscripted? The finance ministry was a big businessâ€" man and that is one reason." Repeating her statement that 15 men control over four billions of the Dominion‘s wealth, she declared that\such a condition, such an inâ€" fluence in politics, was neither healthy for Canada or the men themâ€" selves. Weâ€"in;Canada are too prone to honor not men who have rendered service to their fellow men, but men who have made themselves wealthy at the expense of the masses. I hate to think that." OLD BLAIR HOTEL TO BE MADE INTO ROADHOUSE T{a old hotel at Blair, conducted for many years by Isaac Hertel, has been purchased by Wm. Nicholson o° Buffalo, who intends converting it into a rGadhouse.

SIR WILLIAM MULOCK } ‘BUYS PRINCE‘S CHICKS Sir William Mulock, chief justice of Ontario, has purchased two of the Prince of Wales‘ Peal Wyandotte chickens from the C.N.E. Hon. John S. Martin has bought four pigeohs that formerly belonged to King Geore. They were displayed at the poultry congress in Ottawa last month. The six fowls, which are beâ€" ‘In‘ shown in the poultry exhibit, are not entered in competition. After the congress it was anâ€" nounced that the fowls would be auctioned off and the proceeds handâ€" ed over to charity. The C.N.E paid $75 for the king‘s pigeons and $200 for the prince‘s two wyandottes. Sir William Mulock and Mr. Martin paid the same price.
