Leopold Macaulay, K.C., refusing to subâ€" mit to Speaker Hipel‘s ruling, was forcibly ejected from the floor of the House by the Serâ€" geantâ€"atâ€"Arms. Bitterness and ill feeling in debate have no place in the Legislative Assemâ€" bly. All members should strive to keep debate on a high plane. The Government in stating its reasons for the repeal of the legislation referred to the reâ€" ligious strife stirred up in the byâ€"election in East hastings and the prospect of a bitter reliâ€" gious controversy on the school question at the next provincial election. p.m. Mondays and Thursdays.

Higher wages are being offered for farm labor in Ontario and in many cases the supply has been unable to kcep up with the demand, according to H. ‘C. Hudson, superintendent of ‘the employment bureau of the Onâ€" trrio department of labor. "In Oshawa and some other conâ€" tres the minimum (wage offered is $20 a month," Mr. Hudson stated. "These wages are, of course, for men experienced at milking and plowing. Demand for single men is higher than for married men." Demands for farm labor at Guelph are being dfiled at $25 and $30 a imonth, including board and room, said A. ‘W. Taylor, Gueliph employâ€" ment service superintendent. Similar reports came from London, Brantâ€" ford, Chatham, ‘Stratford and St. ‘Thomas. * â€" In Chatham men are being ‘hired for eight to 12 months and married men are receiving $350 a year and up and are provided ‘with homes for their families and the usual supplies of milk, butter and vegetables, acâ€" cording to Superintendent H. ‘C.

In the seasoning, one may attain quite appetizing effects from the use in cooking and in sauces, of such simâ€" ple seasoning agents as prepared mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ketchuwp, chili, tobasco, onion and veâ€" getable stock preparation while orange and lemon, grapes, pimiento cups and ‘olives give a range of flaâ€" vor possibilities that add immeasurâ€" ably to any fish under the sun.

Yet garnishing is quite a trick, and color has its imâ€" portance, for food should, be as enâ€" chantingly and becomingly garbed as the maples in their Fall costumes. Fish, if nicely prepared, is a dish any cook may be proud to sdrve. It can be uged in so many ways. Fish with fish, fish ‘with fruit, fish with crisp salads, with mushrooms, ‘with onions and peppers and sweet herbs. Nature is not narrowâ€"minded.

His Excellency made it clear that "the fine old fortifying classical curriculum" of Oxford and Camâ€" bridge, with which he was sympaâ€" thetic, had no place in Canadian education.

OTTAWA.â€"The flag to be disâ€" Is Out Of Date as used on the Red Enâ€" Concerning the announcement of rate revisions to effect savings to telephone users in Ontario and Queâ€" tbec totalling of $600,000 annually, Mr. C. F. Sise, President of the (Bell Toleâ€" phoe ‘Company, says: *For rural subscribers, reductions representing a saving to them of $100,000 annually are made effective from (April ilst. (Depression losses were amongst rural usersâ€"about oneâ€" third discontinued their service. Reâ€" covery ‘has ‘been slower than ‘with urban subscribers and it is expected that these reductions will promote restoration and additional use of & service of especial value to farmers. "I am still at work, with my hand to the plough and my face to the future. The shadows of evening lengthen about qx;, but morning is in my heart. I*have warmed both my hands before the fire of life. The testimony I bear is that the |Cnstle of Enchantment is not behind me; it is before me still, and daily I catch glimpses of its battlements ‘and towers. The rich spoils of meâ€" mory are mine; mine, too, are the firecious things of toâ€"dayâ€"books, owers, pictures, nature. The best |of life is always further on." "In line with our pol to give our subscribers the best ephone service at the lowest rates consistent with financial safety we have decidâ€" ed that the present is an opportune time â€"to make effective some importâ€" ant changes in rates which will reâ€" sult in savings to the public. A brief explanation of these changes will be of interest: "Reductions in service connection and moving charges for both busiâ€" ness and residence telephones (effecâ€" tive April 1st) will save our subscribâ€" ers $120,000 annually. To the large body of telephone users who find it necessary to have their home or afâ€" fice telephones moved (these constiâ€" tute about 20% of the total) these lower rates will be welcome. They will make it easier for new users to obtain service and the general result should stimulate business and. exâ€" tend the telephone to a still wider body of subscribers. "‘The rate for hand (cradle) teleâ€" phones has been reduced from 30 to 15 cents per month over desk type telephones. ‘This reduction alone reâ€" sults in a yearly saving to the public of $300,000. ‘The special charges for this type of telephone were applied as a deterrent to a too rapid and unâ€" economic conversion to the new inâ€" strument and to cover unusual exâ€" penses during an experimental peâ€" riod, and were continued during the depression to protect the Company‘s revenues.‘ Improved design and supâ€" ply now warrant a reduction and the reduced charge should bring the hand type within the reach of many more users. As conditions permit we hope to eliminate entirely the exâ€" tra charge for this equipment. "A seemingly small item of our rate revision, yet one which will mean a saving to users of about $60,â€" 000 yearly, is the reduction on shortâ€" haul personâ€"toâ€"person calls from 20 cets to 15 cents and the dropping of the surcharge on shortâ€"haul ‘collect‘ (reversed) â€" stationâ€"toâ€"station â€" calls. Collect and paid long distance calls will now be at the same rate. ‘‘The special type of instrument available for the hardâ€"ofâ€"hearing is reduced from ,$2.50 to $1.50 per month. ‘‘The foregoing along with some other changes in our rates, as we point out elsewhere, will reduce subâ€" scribers‘ bills in the course of a year by over $600,000. ‘They seem to us to be logical and timely contribuâ€" tions to customers as a result of improved general business and growâ€" ing revenues." (By Sir William Mulock, former Chief Justice of Ontario, at 93). A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE Tuesday, April 6, 1937
