The Federation is coâ€"operating with organizations interested in the educational institutions of the Province, and has adopted the slogan: "Education â€"The Essential Factor in National Progress." Leadership in the work of reâ€" covery should be expected from the public bodies. Under existing conâ€" ditions our governments and our county and municipal councils are looked to to devise plans and give effect to programmes that will proâ€" vide employment, which in turn will insure better and more comfortable home life. In this respect Simcoe county council is dealing with its wage for road work has set a poor example. Paring the hourly rate to twenty cents and forty cents for a man and team does not do much Rural telephone companies in Ontario in order to further serâ€" vice patrons in reducing fire losses and fire insurance preâ€" miums, have adopted a fire alarm system. All rural lines will adopt a uniform fire signal of one long ring of five seconds. This is in line with the recomâ€" mendation of the Ontario Fire Marshall. This fire ring will be the signal to all subscribers to listen in and get location of the fire. Subscribers are requested to observe the new signal and thus help in making this new regulaâ€" tion effective in reducing fire losses in rural districts.

ADOPT RURAL FIRE ALARM SYSTEM THe WaTterLoo CnronicLe TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1937 While the low wage proposal won it is no credit to this county of Simcoe, of which we are prone to boast as ‘"the largest, the best and the finest agricultural section of the province." Squeezing the poor felâ€" low who is down because he is down is not something to tell the home constituents about. It resembles too greatly the credited procedure of capitalism. Instead of making toâ€" ward a better situation it is a real road toward discontent, dissatisfacâ€" tion and unrest. Instead of being a trailer in the move toward better days, Simcoe should be a leaderâ€" but is it? Huntsville prayed for enough snow for its carnival and brought on a blizzard. toward encouraging workmen to enâ€" ter into the spirit of the endeavor to bring about improved conditions. little wonder is it that a member characterized the proposal as "a crime‘" and another as "a disgrace". The excuse offered in reply that there were plenty of efficient men ready to accept the wage was not good. Driven into a corner, men, especially those with families will more often accept the mite earned by honest toil in preference to the handâ€"out from the public purse. They, however, should not be taken advantage of because of that. A good deterrent against crime for erring youths would be an oldâ€"fashioned "paddling" by parents or some other perâ€" son in authority.
