co-operation must determine for itself a number of things, including : The class of settlers to be assisted.The maximum assistance to he given.The terms upon which assistance shall be given.j TO CARE FOR IMMIGRANTS.The memorandum assumes that the Federal Government should undertake the securing of settlers from Great Britain and from foreign countries (other than enemy,) and that provincial govermments should take charge of the prospective settler upon arrival In Canada.It is suggested that there should be created a j Federal Land Settlement Board comprising the Minister of Immigration and a representative from each of the provinces.The board should be consultative and advisory, and not active.It should meet at least nnce annually for the purpose of reviewing the working out of any policies that may he adopted for land settlement throughout Canada.The final suggestion made h-y the memorandum is that there should be established in connection with the Department of Immigration and Colonisation a social welfare bureau to assist in the care of immigrants.\u2014- TORONTO.Dec.19\u2014 For the fifth j term, R.H .Halbert, of Melanchton, i Ont., was elected to the presidency of the United Farmers of Ontario at last night\u2019s session of the annual convention.E.C.Drury, of Barrie, was reelected Vice-President.(Continued from page 2) enee, and Mrs.Williams excelled herself, with a splendid recitation.Mr.Ureelay was also a great favorite.Miss Montgomery, Bowker and Waldron, showed decided talent.The chief event was the lecture by Rev.D.W.Terry, which was given in his usual able manner, and was listened to with much appreciation.Proceeds of the evening were $145.A Christmas tree and entertainment will be given in the Baptist Church on Tuesday, the 24th., inst., at 8 o\u2019clock in the evening.Then It Is Understood, Is It Not?That We Shall All Go To Nault & Lacroix\u2019s Let Us Talk About It! ni* 4 I I Listen! .Although we will be a crowd I think we will be able to purchase all we need for Christmas and New Years!
