When traffic regulations are not observed, your life is in danger.No bike rider is allowed to travel two, three, four, five and even six abreast on a public road.Rather you must travel in a single file a the extreme right of the road.is what By-Law No.36, paragraph 1c, of the Motor Vehicles Act says: \u201cOn any public highway which does not include a roadway spe- clally set aside for slow traffic, persons riding bicycles must travel in single file on a strip four feet wide at the extreme right of the pavement.\u201d In making this appeal, the Province of Quebec Safety League adds: \u201cIt is a sound and wise law, enacted for your protection against heavier vehicles following you or coming in the opposite direction\u201d.HE KISSED THE SIDEWALK CHICAGO\u2014Sgt.Fred Weigel, 26, was happy to get back to his home town after three years\u2019 service in the army, the last 25 months mostly in Alaska.Weigel walked out of the rallroad station, stooped down and kissed the sidewalk.With the expropriation of Montreal Light Heat and Power, one half the electricity service of the province, serving one-third of the population, and covering the Province'\u2019s most important industrial area, is now operated under a system of public ownership.This in itself, is nothing new.Near to home, the City of Westmount is served by its own pub- lic-owned power services; and in the Province of Ontario, a Hydro Commission has been operating for these many years.In both instances, the rates paid by the public and by industry, have been far lower than comparable rates in the City of Montreal.The aim of lower rates is one of the main justifications for the expropriation bill.The artificially built-up capital structure of the Montreal Lght Heat and Power, plus a policy of narrow self-interest on the part of this company for over half a century, have led to the enrichment of shrewd private owners at the expense of the public pocket.Lack of success on the part of the government, after repeated attempts, to establish lower rates by arbitration, has led to the only possible alternative expropriation at a fair value to shareholders, and public ownership of the utility.But the Montreal Power expropriation is only the first step to a wider policy on the part of the Godbout Liberal government of nationalization of hydro services, cheaper electricity for industry throughout the province, and proyince-wide rural electrification.This latter policy is of greatest immediate importance.The advantages of household electrification have been most fully enjoyed to date in large centres of population, where it has been most profitable to sell power to large numbers of consumers at least maintenance cost.This obstacle to the electrification of thinly populated areas can only be removed through the present policy of public-ownership in power distributing facilities.The Godbout Government has opened the way to rural electrification and cheap power for industry throughout the Province\u2014the first step to a new era of economc expansion in the post war period.Bank Would Support Credit Expansion Post-war development of Canada\u2019s primary and manufacturing industries and foreign trade also held the spotlight for a time before the Commons committee on banking and commerce.Graham Towers, Governor of the Bank of Canada, told the committee that, if it would help, he would not hesitate to favor currency and credit expansion by a central bank.Mr.Towers advocated a post-war taxation policy which will not discourage outside investments in Canada nor destroy private initiative and enterprise in building Canada\u2019s future.Another development of a monetary nature, important to many Canadians, was the Government announcement that the Dominion will lend for 40 years, at three per cent interest, 90 per cent of the cost of moderate homes throughout Canada.This, combin= ed with other rural and urban housing projects aided by the Dominion Government, will not only stimulate employment and help alleviate the housing shortage, but is an important element of the Government's broad plan of lower interest rates and easier credits for all as a means of assuring post-war prosperity.Homes built under this plan would rent or sell only to persons in the lower income groups.Cyclist Meets Death Beneath Truck Cliff Gardner Killed In Accident at Beauharnois A fatal accident occurred in Beau- harnois, when Cliff Gardiner, popular sportsman, was killed in front of the Beauharnois Hotel at about 11:40, Friday night.Gardner was coming out of the hotel yard on a bicycle, and passing through parked cars on the side of the street, when a truck from the Valleyfield Auto Service, property of Medard Billette, proceeding from east to west, ran into the side of the cyclist.On the impact, Gardner lost his balance and slid under the truck, when the hind wheel passed over his head.He died instantly.His head was completely crushed and his brain spattered the street and flowed with quantities of blood.Mr.Ovila Faubert, residing at 61 Cousineau St., Valleyfield, was driving the truck.The driver did not see Gardner in time to prevent the accident.Mr.Frank Cyr, constable of Beauharnois, arrived in a few moments, and Dr.Gustave Dubuc, who was called, was unable to render any assistance.Dr.Stmon, coroner, was informed.The body was taken to the mortuary and the driver was held for questioning.The investigation was postponed until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, and held under the presidence of Dr.Simon, coroner, and Mr.Jos.Robert, foreman of the jury.Forming the jury were Mayor Hormisdas Roy, Messrs.J.N.Marchand, Willie Primeau, Charles Bonnier, Jean La- berge, Wilfrid Auger.Witnesses: Messrs.Romain, Walter Lefebvre, Gerard Banville and Dr.G.Dubuc.A verdict of accidental death was returned.The deceased leaves to mourn him: his wife and a child.He is well known to many people in Huntingdon, who will regret to hear of his untimely end.Fined For Using Insulting Language Henry Lanoue, of Huntingdon, appeared before Justice of the Peace, D.Faubert, at the Court House, on Monday evening at 7:30.charged with using insulting language in contravention of By-law No.228 of the Town of Huntingdon.The complaint was laid by Town Constable J.McCrow on Monday.The incident occurred on Chateauguay

reproduction of the proposed plan for the sewer which was discussed at the Huntingdon Town Council meeting as reported in the last issue of this newspaper.It will be noticed that the proposed sewer will start at a point shown as West Street, across the N.Y.C.- tracks, this is the last developed street on Lake Street near the Ridge | Road.While it is proposed to start the sewer at this point, provision | has been made for its extension beyond, to the Ridge Road.The depth al this point is approximately 6 feet in the ground and an 8 inch pipe will extend down Lake Street for 650 feet; it will be increased to 10 inch for a distance of 300 feet; then 18 inch for 500 feet; 21 inch for 800 feet \u2014a total of 2,250 feet for Lake Street.At the intersection of Lake and Hunter Streets the pipe will be enlarged to 24 inch and be carried 850 feet along Hunter Street to a manhole at the intersection of Hunter.Bouchette and Chateauguay Streets, to join Street sewer.A total of 3,000.The depths Le below ground will vary according to the elevation of the land above up with the Chateauguay which the sewer would little cost.contractor.as shown in the drainage.D lan, and to provide for the fall of the sewer for proper epths at various points are shown ction above.The design of the sewer is such that it will carry surface water from the town side of N.Y.C.tracks, as well as the domestic sewage disposal; but on the other side of the tracks it will carry domestic sewage only.Ditches will be provided on the other side for the carrying of surface water.It will be noticed the number of streets that could be connected to this sewer, for which provision has been made.on the reproduction It must i also be remembered that there are some extensions to Lhese streets | which have also been taken into consideration.Further, the provisions .on Prince and Wellington Streets for sewage are not all that could be | desired, as the pipes are small.In time to come, this situation could be changed with benefit to the residents of these streets and at very Such change will have to take place as the town grows.With modern machinery for digging ditches, the digging through the various depths should not present any great difficulty to the modern Rev.John McBride Ordained at Riverfield Church A very impressive service took place in the Riverfleld Church on May 12th, at 10 a.m, when Rev.John McBride, a recent Graduate of Theological College of Toronto, was Ordained as a minister of th» Presbyterian Church.The service was conducted by Rev.J.Ritchie Bell, Moderator of the Montreal Presbytery, who spoke very highly of Rev.McBride, and his work among them during the past years.also of his high ranking in the recent Graduation.The sermon was preached by Rev.Chas.Foote, the newly inducted minister of Ou- tremont Church.Following the Ordination Service, Rev.H.Bingham, of Georgetown, delivered the address to the new minister, and the address to the congregation was

Editor Family Herald And Weekly Star Tells of Farming in England Mr.R.J.Kennedy, Editor of Family Herald and Weekly Star.was guest speaker at the Farm Forum held in the Hinchinbrook Town Hall, Monday night.He dealt with farming conditions in England during wartime, having spent four months making his own observations.From the outset farming in England was considered the No.1 priority for labour and production.Every farm and farmer was classi- fled A, B or C, and regulations administered through local committees.Many class C farmers unable to better themselves through age, illness or inefficiency were relieved of the.work and the production taken on by others.On the other hand, some were able through financial help and expert advice to improve their methods and comply with production requirements.In regard to labour, Mr.Kennedy found that the farmers in England were mueh better off than in Canada.He strongly condemned the manner in which farm labour has been handled here and declared that this mismanagement has required heavy and unnecessary sacrifices by Canadian farmers.In England a farmer with 200 acres will employ probably five adult workers.When his regular staff is called up he is immediately supplied with substitutes, possibly from the Women's Land Army, Italian or other prisoners of war, etc.Mr.Kennedy concluded hy referring to the Veteran's Land Act, and asked for opinions on the best method of fixing repayment terms.(a) Equal yearly payments of sta:- ed amounts.(b) One-quarter of the net profits each year until repayment is made.This question was not discussed, but Mr.George Boyce in thanking the speaker, stated in his opinion (Continued on page 4) As announced in the early part of the Sixth Victory Loan Campaign, a committee was formed for

sewer to drain from across the !.C.tracks down Lake Street, Hunter Street, the Bank of Commerce at Chateauguay et.While the matter has not come up for alice discussion, publicity was given to it by * discussion that took place at the recent wn Council meeting, and published in the umns of this newspaper.In another sec- n of this issue will be found an engineer's yroduction of the proposed plan and ex- nation of same.We will content ourselves in this article by 7iewing the conditions which it is proposed a sewer will serve.In the first place there 2 a number of laborers\u2019 dwellings built north the N.Y.C.tracks in the poorer district of intingdon.As Huntingdon grows, this de- lopment will increase also.The type of relling being built in this section is perhaps + all that could be desired, but it is the best at the people building them can do for the oment.While this is so, the people here ck water and sanitation facilities in the way sewers, which does not tend to improve the strict or make for pride; in other words, 2 are developing a slum district if we allow to go on.The fight today in all parts is to iminate slum districts.The people in this part of town have been fore the Council repeatedly to ask for the \u2018ovision of sewers and water.As reported in us newspaper, the Council has promised to ive the matter gone into.This has now been me, with the result that a proposed plan as presented at the last meeting of the Town Juncil.The proposal is to start a sewer at a \u2019int named West Street, on the plan, which the last street in that section over the acks, now being developed.From this point 1e sewer would go on down Lake Street, ong Hunter Street to the large Chateauguay .sewer at the Bank of Commerce, It is felt that such a sewer would serve a rge number of people at the moment, and > ready to serve those who may build in the iture.It would also overcome the problem «ing those people who are living across the ack needing the facilities already mention- 1.The streets in this part of town are not sveloped in any way, merely resembling a \u2018ail across the fields.When there is wet eather and after the winter snow and ice, 1ese roads represent nothing more than a uagmire, children have to play in this mess nd people have to live in the squalor.Sew- ge provisions would allow for ditches being ug to carry the surface water, pipes laid to arry domestic disposal, and keep the district 1 a sanitary condition.Water facilities would slow as a natural course.With willingness ) provide these people with these facilities it i quite possible théy could be prevailed upon 9 take a greater interest in their surround- 1gs and improve their lots and buildings as ircumstances would permit.At the moment here is no inducement.Yet these people are sorking in our miMs and other places and relping to bring revenue to the town, just as ther people in other parts of town are doing.3ut the other people are enjoying the benefits f the things these people are asking for.Should it be denied them?The history of sewers in the Town of Hun- ingdon has not just commenced, it started \u2018ears ago.In the early history, surface water vas drained off by means of ditches.On 3ouchette Street, a 6-inch pipe had been laid, ind over the years it was common for tree \u2018oots to get into this pipe and completely dock it.There was no provisions for man- 10les, consequently when these stoppages oc- rurred it was necessary to dig up the road ibout the spot it was thought the blockage 0 be, and go down to the pipe.Perhaps it would happen to be right, more often than aot it would be wrong.If it was right, the vi all ways.conversation with Mayor W.E, S.Mc- Nair, he said: \u201cI had Mr.J.Brisebols, contractor change the 86-inch pipe on Bouchette Street for 15-inch tile and provision made for manholes.Fifty-seven houses had been draining into the previous sewer and it can be resiised what tmppened when the sewer became blocked.After the change mentioned was made, there was no more trouble.If the sewer did block, it was a simple matter to open a manhole and find where the blockage was in short order and with little expense.Thus this change meant a great saving to the Town over the years.A few years ago when a sewer on Lake Street was put in, there was no thought of going over the track and only a small pipe was put in, because there was no development in this part of town.It is different today, however, and there are pos- sibities that this part of town will develop very quickly.Evidence of this can be seen in the past few years\u201d.In August 1938, à plan was made for a sewer on Chateauguay Street from Hunter Street to the town sewer outlet, and this was worked upon as a relief project.The Duplessis Government was in office at the time and $51,000 was promised for labor through the late Martin B.Fisher.In November, 1938, a plan was drawn up for a sewer orf Hunter Street and it whs intended to go ahead with this project.Approximately $26,000 of the $61,000 had been used up on the Chateauguay Street portion and when it came time for the Hunter Street project, the Duplessis Government was defeated and no more money was available.Thus the latter part of the plan has been hanging fire ever since.Before the Chateauguay Street sewer was installed, it was common for the stores along this street to lose hundreds of dollars every spring because of water flooding basements where goods were stored.Mr.A.M.Cappiello Stated that he had te wade waist deep in water to try and save some of the stock in his basement that he had not removed in time He lost over $100.worth of tobacco on one occasion.All along this street the same thing happened.Today, this nuisance is overcome and these places now have dry basements at all times.In recent years the people on Hunter Street have been annoyed in much the same manner, and complaints have been numerous.The sewer on Hunter Street is outdated as to size and capacity to do the work it is called upon to do.With the extension of Hunter Street, more houses have been added to this already overworked pipe and the condition is becoming worse each year.It will thus be seen that the proposed sewer is of importance to a number of citizens in Huntingdon and is planned to serve a large number now and in the future.There is every indication that Huntingdon will grow and that more manufactures will locate here.Already a new mill is being constructed on the property known as the McCormick property, and sewage and water will be required for this mill.This sewage will have to be emptied into the Hunter Street sewer, what will happen then?The suggestion that a sewer be made for the people across the track, to connect up with the York Street sewer is not practicable, as it would mean that the York Street sewer would have to be dug up and lowered in order to place it at proper levels for efficient drainage.A system of sump and automatic pump could be installed in connection with the York Street sewer, which would have the action of bringing the sewage to the proper levels by the pump action.This method has already been tried in Huntingdon and other towns, but the results obtained are far from satisfactory or economical.While the sewage pipes come into the sump at different levels, the solids naturally fall to the lowest point; the pump lifts the liquids only, thus in time the sump Îtself becomes blocked.Something has to be done to dispose of this deposit, it must be cleaned out\u2014a very unsatisfactory sanitary arrangement.Further to this the pump is quite lable to freeze up several times during the winter and until this can be thawed out, the whole sewer is out of commission.Parts of the pump break and there is almost constant demand for someone to be checking it to see if it is working efficiently.Altogether a very expensive proposition with little satistac- tion.Thus it is felt that no expense would be saved and no real benefit would accrue to the Town.This would not solve the Hunter Street problem, for which something would still have to be done.It would therefore seem that the proposed plan would be the most economical and give the best service.No estimate of the cost can be given, because none has yet been received.The plan as yet is only in the proposal stage.The Council hoped that by giving the matter publicity, the citizens will be given an opportunity to discuss it among themselves and see its feasibilities without jumping to conclusions.Past experience should be a guide to sane thinking and whether the Town would go into debt, or whether it would mean a saving in the future for an expenditure at this time.It is felt that it is possible to finance the project out of current revenue coming from the new houses and so on within the district.Should it be necessary to raise the money through increased taxation, one mill increase would perhaps be sufficient.Such an amount would not be noticed by the individual taxpayer.This latter, like the cost of the project, is purely conjecture at the moment.* ¥ * Lower Speed Through Huntingdon N the past few weeks three children have been knocked down by cars in the Town of Huntingdon, fortunately in all cases the cars were going slow and the men behind the wheel were careful drivers.Thus, the children were saved from very serious injury.At Franklin, a child was instantly killed when a milk truck ran over it, in this case the driver was not to blame as the accident happened after he passed.The whole point is that where there are children playing, there is the need to keep a sharp look-out on the part of drivers of vehicles.Some persons will argue that children should not be playing on the streets and if they are knocked down or killed, it is their own fault.Such argument is nonsense, as a child cannot be expected to reasom in the same way that an elder person does.A child may be told 2 hundred times a day to stay off the road, but in the excitement of playing a game, will thoughtlessly rin onto the road right into the path of danger.If cars are allowed to travel at high speed, as some do in this town, then a child's life is in danger at a times.On the other hand if cars wère made to lower their speed while travelling in town, the driver would have a greater chance of stopping his car, if a child happened into his way.It was only this fact that saved more serious consequences in the accidents mentioned.There are a number of small children in Huntingdon at this time and many of them have to make their way to school and cross some busy streets.The parents are rightly of the opinion that there should be means of protection for their children.Lawns about houses are such that a child can run right onto the road, after a ball, or in some other game that may be played.There are no recreation spaces in the town, where children can go and play, so they must do so in or near their homes.There is hardly a street in Huntingdon that is not busy at some time or other and some streets form a part of a highway.Thus all kinds of traffic is travelling through and around this town.Many heavy trucks come into town down Chateauguay Street from Montreal and they travel at a high rate of speed right through the town.Many cars are parked outside the stores on Chateauguay Street and there is only about enough room for a truck to pass 8 THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER through.A child trying to cross this street and coming out from behind a parked car, has a good chance of being knocked down.We have seen some cars travel this piece of road 50 fast that a cloud of dust follows behind the car.We ask, 15 it necessary?The roads in town are very narrow, there are always some cars parked along them and there are children playing on almost every street, is it in their safety for cars to be allowed to travel at 30, 40, and 50 miles an hour through such streets, There are some young lads with cars who are driving at high speeds regardless of what the road is like or what is on it.A few examples made, would have the tendency to make others more cautious and perhaps save a fatality that will otherwise happen.We know that in many cases the children are to blame, but just the same it is up to the authorities to do everything in their power to protect its citizens and these are the citizens of tomorrow.It is up to the drivers of all vehicles to keep a sharp watch for children playing on the streets, Control of cars under such conditions, can only be maintained if the car is travelling at a moderate speed.The recent accidents should be a warning to all to be careful and for the authorities to take steps to stop any undue speeding of cars in the town area or limits.Stop signs should be obeyed, as well as parking laws.There also seem to be certain drivers who take a delight in driving around and sounding their horns continuously, usually at a late hour at night.This might be dealt with under the term of nuisances as it is entirely unnecessary.Proper warning by sounding the horn of car is warranted.All approaches to town should have legible signs placed where they can be plainly seen, with a specified speed limit for passing through town.Those drivers who do not obey these signs should be made an example of.The speed limit should be quite low.Those invested with police authority within the town, should be on the look-out for all offenders.Huntingdon is growing, it will become more busy as the years go on; now is the time to stop what may be a menace.The Quebec Safety League is constantly sending out reminders for drivers to take heed of children playing on the streets, but this is not enough unless the town authorities seek to see that the laws are obeyed and enforced.Let's take the precautions at once and place \u201cSafety First\u201d.* * + The Loss of the Valleyfield HE loss of the Frigate \u201cValleyfield\u201d came as a blow to the people of the City of Valleyfield, for they had a deep interest in the ship that was named after their city.For many weeks\u2014months, they worked in preparing for the launching ceremony and in raising funds for equipment and comforts of the men who would man the ship.It was a source of pride to many notables in the city and to the people in general.The sinking and the loss of personnel will be deeply regretted by all.The life of usefulness of the frigaite was short, but when the story can be told of its exploits we feel sure that it will have a noble history.We also feel that the personnel aboard the ship will be found to have been courageous in the face of danger and that no one shirked his duty.The people of Valley- field would no doubt have liked to have seen their ship carrying on in the task set for it, but such are the fortunes of war.There is one thing certain, it went down fighting \u2014 fighting for the cause of liberty and freedom.Deep sympathy will be felt for the relatives of the men who went down with their ship.#* + * Railway Workers and Wages (Contributed) OME months ago \u201cThe Huntingdon Gleaner\u201d published an editorial, pointing out that if the railway men were to get what they were requesting, which is no less than the United States scale of wages in Canada, the Canadian farmer would equally want Chicago prices for his wheat, and so on.At the time that that editorial appeared, it did not seem so important, for it is to be doubted whether many people really believed that the railway workers would think of trying to get the United States scale of wages.Now that the railway men's case has been put before the National War Labour Board, it is clear that this is exactly what they are asking, and, as this becomes generally understood, it seems probable that public opinion will turn very strongly against their being granted something which the Government cannot possibly grant, without upsetting our whole wartime wage and price policy.However, it seems that this was not all that they were asking.They seem to have been asking the Board as well that it take into consideration that the railway men need an increase of wages, in order to meet their increased Income taxes.That would seem incredible, if it were not quite clear that that was just what their spokesman pointed out to the Board.Surely it is the simplest duty of every Canadian citizen to bear his share of increased income tax.If the railway men can be free of this obligation, so can any one else in Canada, and it must be pretty clear that it would be little use of Mr.Ilsley putting on an income tax, if every citizen in Canada obtained an increase in income to make up for it.To put it as simple as possible, Mr.Vaughan and Mr.Coleman, who are the presidents of the two railways certainly pay very large income taxes.So do a great many other Canadian citizens, and we all pay some.Do the railway men seriously mean that every one ought to get an increase in income to compensate for his income tax, or do they think that this is a rule which should apply only to railway workers?* * * \u201cFacts of Power\u201d (Contributed) HE latest bee in Bertie McCormick's bonnet is \u201cpower\u201d.If the editor of the Chicago Tribune were an ordinary private citizen he might be thought to be suffering from meglomania.So far, in his anti-British tirades, Bertie has taken a peevish envious tone.Now \"he talks about \u201cFacts of Power\u201d.Referring to the Premier of Australia in a recent editorial, he says, \u201cMr.Curtin continues to talk as if Australia\u2019s membership in the > mms empire protected her against invasion.We now know that wasn't true before this war, and it will not be true after it.The British dominions are not likely to be menaced unless the British navy is occupied with an enemy in home waters and if that happens, the British cannot protect the outlying possessions.Britain lost Burma, Malaya, and her ports on the China coast, and would have lost Australian and India if we (the Americans) had not halted the Japanese march.The inability of the British to hold their possessions resulted in turn, in the loss by the Dutch, the French, and the Portuguese of their colonies.If the Japanese are ever forced to yield these prizes, as they will be, American arms will be responsible for the victory.Those are facts of power.Without our aid Britain would have lost Egypt and the Mediterranean would still be closed.To any disinterested observer it must be apparent now that only thru our (American) support can Britain feel secure even in her own island.The whole imperial system is dependent on our support.The leadership belongs to us because we have the power to enforce decisions and the British haven't.The United States can remain on good terms with Britain and the empire if, on their part, they will recognize that in matters which are likely in any important way to concern us they are the junior partner without the right to make final decisions\u201d.Someone said recently they thought Bertie had gone completely balmy.Well that certainly sounds like it.Mirrors Take Their Place In Many Industries The first mirror was a quiet pool in which ancient man saw his own likeness.The early Greeks made their mirrors of polished bronze while the people of Egypt gazed at their own reflection in highly polished metal bowls.\u201cBut today mirrors are not used only to see if milay's nose is in need of powdering.Mirrors, too, have gone to war.They are used in the manufacture of telescopes and miscroscopes.When a British or American submarine lets loose a \u2018\u201ctin-fish\u201d, blowing an enemy ship out of the water, it is through a mirror reflection that the subma- rine-periscope works.Fast action cameras which Canadian forces use in reconnaissance have mirrors in the range finders.Reports say that a German fighter brought down in the Battle of Britain had a cabin lined with mirrors.These gave the pilot a reflection of all oncoming fighters, \u201cOops, seven years bad luck, I guess\u201d.How familiar is this efacu- lation when someone breaks a mirror.The seven years bad luck superstition goes back many years, The Romans believed that health moved in seven year cycles.As a mirror reflected the appearance of an individual, they thought that if a mirror broke that meant the health of the person was broken too, for seven years.Mirrors as they are today were invented by the Venetians early in the 13th century.In the 17th century the process of silvering glass was brought to England.In those early days, this process was such a closely guarded secret that any person breaking into a mirror factory was banished from the kingdom for seven years.This is another version of how the superstition arose.WEEK AT OTTAWA The news of the relaxation of exchange control on foreign travel, even if the relaxation has definite limits, has been welcomed here in the capital as elsewhere in the country.Not more than $150 in US.funds will be allowed during twelve months to anyone travelling without health or business reasons, but easing up even to this extent is another indication that the exchange situation which caused genuine uneasiness earlier in the war has improved.This was brought out a short time ago when the minister of finance J.L.Ilsley announced that Canada was arranging to reimburse the U.S.treasury for payments for permanent installations in Canadian airfields.Even if travelling is limited it will remove the annoyance felt in some of the Northern States over Canadian travel being cut off when the U.S.had been been sending so many tourists to Canada for years.Most of these people came to understand in time no doubt the imperative reasons for Canada's action which in reality were, simply that this country had to conserve by every possible means its U.S.funds so that it could pay for purchases of war materials in the neighboring republic.Americans will understand now that it isn\u2019t a \u201cdog in the manger\u201d or selfish policy that Canada has been following but one that was adopted reluctantly and will be discarded as soon as circumstances ver- mit.The Commonwealth Conference The atmosphere created here by the conference of British Commonwealth prime ministers and the declaration at its close has been one of renewed confidence in the common purpose and power of the \u201cunited association\u201d, even if it may be incomprehensible to those who do or will not understand the capabilities of international democracy any more than they understand the capabilities of national democracy in marshalling public opinion for joint action in a moment of supreme crisis.People in countries ruled by dictatorship undoubtedly have a great deal of difficulty in under- Wednesday, May 24th, 1844 ual intangibles may have a great Bj| deal of validity and strength even when not backed by the gold standard of formal bonds.Internees in Canada There are now only 730 persons interned in Canada, 430 of these being of Japanese birth or origin, the rest being of other races and nationalities.The total number of internees is considerably reduced from those placed in camps about June, 1940, when there was a great deal of nervousness over the war situation with the capitulation of France.Many were later released when the authorities became convinced that they would not be a danger to the state.When anyone requests a review of his case he is interrogated by an advisory board and if the board is convinced of his good intentions, it forwards its recommendation for rélease to the minister of justice.While not an essential (Continued on page 7) Montreal Toronto and the as low as 520 ne higher

branches, culminating on that day when she became National President for the years 1938-1936.Came 1939 and the war .Bailey began her work as publicity director of the Red Cross So- clety for British Columbia.It was her hand and mind and effort which, to a large extent, directed the Red Cross \u201cjam for Britain\u201d project which has resulted in the shipping of more than one-fifth of a million pounds of jam to the air raid victims in Britain, .» .Then my farewell to Elizabeth Bailey Price.She lay amid the banks of blossoms, attended at the last of her journey by her friends of the writing fraternity, the Women's Institutes, and the community at large, My eyes were drawn to the great red cross formed by the blossoms of countless scarlet carnations\u2014 the glowing, dramatic symbol of the Red Cross Society.\u2014the post at which Bailey had worked until her summons came.It was: \u201cAs When a Standard- Bearer Fainteth' Hemmingford The W.A.of St-Andrew's United Church met at the home of Miss Ethel Williams, on Wednesday afternoon, May 30th, when Miss Wil- spent in completing blocks for a quilt.It was decided to hold aver articles donated for the Greek Relief until the June meeting, when more articles would be ready for the shipment.The hostesses served a delicious sit down supper to members as well as several guests.tresccecencacces \u20ac SCHOOL NOTES $ HUNTINGDON HIGH SCHOOL Thirty of the Senior High School accompanied by Miss Salter attended the ceremony of the unveiling of the Honour Roll, at Maple Leaf Grange, on Tuesday evening last.They were highly delighted with the reception that they received.About 40 students, including the Boys\u2019 Band and the cast of players who staged \u201cHuckleberry Finn\u201d sometime ago, journeyed to Hem- mingford, on Friday, where they played to a capacity house.Prior to the Concert in the Hall, the Band marched through the main streets.Mr.Winter provided transportation for the boys and Mr.Beattie for the girls.The Band wish to thank Messrs.O'Connor, Winter and Beattie for their donations of the past week.A Benefit is being held in the High School, on Friday night next at 8:30.Please see advertisement.Mr.Amaron, French Supervisor, examined Grades X and X1 in ORAL FRENCH on Monday, May 22, We are pleased to welcome Mrs.| Ferns back to her classes.Mrs.Hallamore supplied for Mrs.Ferns during her enforced absence.Helpful Household Hints Grease Spots Grease spots on wall paper can be removed with a flannel cloth dipped in alcohol.Rub the paper lightly.-0- Rolling Dough If a plece of muslin is fastened tightly around the rolling pin, the dough can be rolled as thin as desired, -0- Meat Take the meat out of the paper before putting it in the ice-box, as paper has a tendency to absorb the juices, -0- Laundering Lace Curtains If a creamy shade is wanted for the curtains, add cold, clear, strong tea to the starch and it will give the Jams and Mrs, Chas.Woods were == Joint hostesses, Bread There was a good attendance.| Placa a saucepan of hplling r Mrs, Belbin was in charge of the |in the oven when making d or devotional period while Mrs, Walsh |roils.The steam will keep the presided at the business meeting.[crust smooth and tender.Various reports were given.The ~0- remainder of the afternoon was |Bay Rum To make bay rum, mix 1 dram of oil of bay, 18 ounces of alcohol, 18 ounces of water.Then filter it through magnesia.-0- White Kid Mix equal parts of powdered alum and fullers' earth.Dip a flannel cloth into this and rub on the soll- ed spots.When clean, brush with a clean flannel -0- Varnished Floors To keep the polish on a varnished floor, try sprinkling coarse salt on the floor;

two grandchildren, Judith and Ronald Sugriest, and a number of nephews and nieces.Burial was at Williston, Vt.Stimulate Scalp | There's a mistaken notion that dandruff sufferers should not shampoo hair frequently.This is not true.Dandruff is as much a skin problem as dry-skin flakiness.For if the scalp Is not stimulated, if circulation is poor, the oil ducts in the hair and scalp do not flow as freely as they should.Brush vigo- hands, rub them thoroughly with vaseline, allow it to remain for 30 minutes, and then wash the hands.=0- i Fret To prevent perspiration of the feet, powder the stockings with one part of chlorinated lime, one part of prepared chalk, and one part of powdered starch.Bathe the feet daily in cold water.\u201cOw Old Stockings Old stocking tops make good dusters and polishing cloths for oiling or rubbing down the furniture and the floors.If several stocking tops are cut into strips and dipped in paraflin oll, they can be made into an excellent dustless mop for the floors.-0- Hair Dye To darken the hair, mix 2 ounces of bay rum, 2 ounces glycerin, 2 ozs.alcohol, and 10 ounces infusiom of black tea.The tea should be mixed 1 ounce to 12 ounces of boiling water.Let the tea steep for 30 minutes and then cool.Thea add the other mixture.Correct Coiffure A bride should know well the value of careful grooming for weeks before the great event; how the waves of a new permanent deepen and take on a more brilliant sheen with persistent brushing; how essential it is to have nails carefully manicured, and a face powder blended specially to bring out the best in her complex- rously and often: massage the scalp while shampooing to increase the circulation.In fact, frequent washing (at least once a week) poo that will leave your hair soft and manageable.Do without the waving lotion when you have your hair set.Clean hair, a well-stimul- ated scalp and brushing like mad, will prevent dry scalp flaking, or dandruff, Remodeling Straw If it is desired to change the shape of a straw hat, pour boiling water over it, and while it is hot and pliable reshape it with the handle.Take a bowl or vessel that will fit the crown and place the hat on this while working, also leaving it on the bowl to dry, in LL 41 XLT I PEE TAKE IT FOR CRAMPS % CHILLS, APPLY IT FOR II NR A Le prevents pore clogging.Use a sham- | ion.She might also have her beau- | ty stylist recommend a makeup which will blend with the color of | her bridal costume.It lies, too, in the power of the hair stylist to arrange the hair So that the bride will neither dwart the groom or send him sky-rocket- \u2018ing by making her appear too short.| There are secrets In every trade, land the correct coiffure has saved the day at many a wedding for a tall bride and a short bridegroom.MORE PRESERVES BUT LESS CANNING SUGAR The ration administration of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board wishes to remind consumers that, as soon as the first five \u201cP\u201d canning sugar coupons become valid, they will be exchangeable for \u201cD\u201d preserves coupons at any local ration board, for the convenience of housewives who prefer to buy preserves | rather than do their own canning.\u2018This exchange is at the rate of one \u201cG\" coupon for one \u201cF\u201d coupon.As | previously announced, the first 5 \u201cF\u201d ;

removal of the teeth in the presence of the acute state of traumatism or pus without proper post-opera- tive dressing or care: long standing chronic infection whereby the bone has become infected; old age of patient; exposure of the tooth socket for any great length of time: presence of sallva and food particles in the socket: failure to remove completely the pathological\u2019 area and suction on or placing tongue or finger in the socket by the patient.\u201d Treatment varies according to causes.Self-treatment is always inadvisable.The Dental Hygiene Commission of the College of Dental Surgeons of the Province of Quebec, 3632, Park Avenue, Mantreal, will be glad to answer any question relative to this article.A PARCEL FROM HOME Oh, it isn't so much the chocolate bar, Or the package of chewing gum, It isn't the smokes or books of jokes, That cheer & man when he's glum.It isn't the can of pork and beans, Though the taste is certainly grand, Or the milk or jam, though they seem to 8 man A bit of Canada Canned.No, these are not the important things In the parcel that comes from home, That isn't the part that cheers the heart Of a man when he's alone When you come to camp and there's a parcel From the folks far over the sea.The feeling that stays through the endless days Is \u201cSomeone remembers me.\" Oh, a parcel from home just hits the spot In & way you will never know Till you've stood in a queue, and it comes to you And the Corporal says \u201cNo!

You cannot argue that to destroy one class of people is Christian and to destroy another class is not Christian .We have been forced by aggression into an unchristian atmosphere, and our choice is not between good and evil, .but between evil and less evil.The one thing possible to the Christian conscience in the circumstances is to go through with the hateful business without rancour .and with the hope that the destruction of those who have brought evil upon the world will be overruled by God so as to achieve a greater good in the future.+ * WEDDING HOLCOMBE\u2014HUNTER Miss Helen Jean Hunter, daughter of Mr.and Mrs.Howard J.Hunter, Chateaugay, became the bride of Howard C.Holcombe, son of Mr.and Mrs.Lester Holcombe, also of Chateaugay, Priday afternoon, May 19, at the Presbyterian Manse, Chateaugay.The Rev.Valentine S.Alison of- : ficiated, Miss Betty Hunter.sister of the bride, was maid of honor.Arlington Lobdell, cousin nf tha bride, was best man.The bride wore a two piece light lue crepe dress with white acces- Her corsage was of red A wrist watch, a wedding gift from the groom, was the bride's only adornment.The maid of honor wore a two piece pink crepe dress with matching hat and white accessories.Her corsage was of pink roses white Lavender and yellow sweet peas.After a wedding supper at Jessie's Dining Room the bride and groom left on a short honeymoon to Montreal.Upon their return they will reside in Chateaugay.The groom is a nephew of Mrs, W.D.Hamill, of Huntingdon.Howick ! The Honourable John Braken, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, accompanied by Mr.Paul Lafontaine, Montreal, and Dr.M.A.Drummond and Mr.M.Jack of Ottawa, were Sunday guests of Mr.and Mrs.P.D.McArthur of \u201cCherry- bank.\u201d The Honourable Mr.Bracken has just completed a tour of the province of New Brunswick where he addressed a number of meetings last week.The Canadian Legion - No.81 \u2018The flags of all nations used in the parade and service of intercession and Memorial Sunday, May 14, were loaned by the Display Committee of the National War Finance Committee, Montreal.They certainly provided a unique show.The Aftermath! Neither money nor jobs will be enough to satisfy soldiers after this war.Ask any veteran of the last war if he felt that he was really appreciated after the nine days wonder of the Armistice was over.The government of Canade certainly held a preference for veterans, and I believe made every effort to see that government jobs were filled as far as possible with returned soldiers.But not so industry in general.Industry will continue to look coldly upon any veteran requesting a job unless he has had previous exper- fence of the work of the particular industry to which the soldier is applying for rehabilitation.And what of the youngsters, who will be well in their twenties on the next Armistice day?They left school to go to war to help save industry from bankruptcy or appropriation; but will this fact weigh with industry?Returning boys will have changed their ideas, and will demand that the community live up to the changes soon to come about.The soldier will have been accustomed to regard himself as important, as a great asset to his country, and highly valued by his associates.This certainly was not true of a very large number of young men immediately preceding this war, and the most damaging thing that could happen to the returned soldier, and to the community, would be for him to find himself not wanted, and not regarded as a valuable asset to his community.To give him money.or even to provide him with a stop-gap job.will fall far short of these requirements.In order for him to become a useful citizen it is very necessary that his own individual value to the community should obviously remain very high.This will require careful planning and serious implementation.If this does not occur, soldiers will withdraw into groups and feel themselves in conflict with civilians.These soldiers returning will certainly demand certain ideals, and these will require civilians to show unselfish devotion to the group, willing sacrifice and ability to be depended on; and not take advantage of one's own people.It must be appreciated that soldiers generally cannot be bought off by grants of money.The soldier appreciates thoroughly, and believes deeply.that what he has gone through for the sake of the community cannot be paid for in terms of Dollars.Obituary The Late Dr.R.B.Anderson Dr.Robert Brodie Anderson.69.of 367 Scotia St.who had a widely- varied career in the medical profession.died recently in the Winnipeg General hospital, where he had been ill five weeks.Dr.Anderson was a veteran of the First Great War, having served for three-and-a-half years overseas with the Royal Canadian Medical corps.Born at Almonte, Ont.Dr.Anderson was the son of William and Elizabeth (Brodie) Anderson, both of Montreal.Both families came from Ayr, Scotland.Dr.Anderson received his early education in the public schoels of Winnipeg, and later attended the Collegiate Institute.In 1897 he entered St.John's college and graduated from Manitoba Medical college in 1903.He practised medicine at Moose Jaw for a short time before going to Scotland for post-graduate work in the University of Edinburgh.He visited hospitals in London and Paris, and on return to Winnipeg went on a tour of inspection for the dominjon government, investigating the conditions of the Indians in the reserves on Lake Winnipeg.From 1910 he followed his practice in Winnipeg until joining up for service in the Great War.Dr.Anderson is survived by his widow, Mrs.Margaret Ness Anderson; his only daughter, Margaret Patricia, R.N., connected with the | Winnipeg General hospital; three sons in the R.C.A.F., Fit.-Lt.William Brodie and FO.Alan, both serving.tor at Trenton, Ont., and two sisters, Beatrice, and Ida, wife of the Rev.Dugald McIntyre, both of Toronto.ALTADENA, Calf.\u2014Seals are taking to dry land.One of the aquatic mammals was found by sheriff's deputies on a street of this foothill community, some 25 miles from the nearest salt water, Pancakes The next time pancakes are to be made, instead of greasing the griddle, try heatimg it first and then rubbing it with a slice of freshly cut raw potato.It prevents sticking.as well as an unpleasant odor.Table Linen A good way to test table linen is to secure 2 sample and dip it in any kind of oil.The linen threads will become almost transparent, enabling one to see very readily how many cotton threads it contains.Knives Camphor placed in trunks or drawers will protect from mice.Iodine is useful for covering scratched places on furniture, overseas, and PO.Robert, an instruc- kinsoi S pti SJ kl 5 These garden-wise young ladies know their AKING ON ONIONS rar oo onions!

obituaries, when supplied.The wartime regulations as to the supply of newsprint make it very essential that we conserve paper, and in order to live within our paper rations some detailed reports must be curtailed.It is not pleasant for this newspaper to have to tell our valued readers that we are unable to publish everything in the way of copy that they may occasionally supply; therefore it would be appreciated if brevity would be exercised when writing reports for any of The Huntingdon | Gleaner Inc, publications.Many newspapers have already eliminated the printing of obituaries; mot so this newspaper, but we respectfully ask that they be written with a view to truthfulness, including brevity.R.J.Kennedy.(Continued from page 1) the payment of one-quarter of profit would give a man the

business with political parties.3.They condemn the attitude of the two who organized the Local 100 concerning Valleyfiëld.In fact they deceived the workers of the Montreal Cottons in making them

situation is gradually taking on an entirely different aspect from that which characterized it just prior to the war and even into 1943.With huge demands for wheat from both the United States and Great Britain, no longer is Canada paying western farmers to reduce their acreage in wheat production and increase the acreage seeded to other grains.Even up to last year the Dominion government paid the Western farmer to reduce his wheat acreage and expand on their seeding to mixed grains.This was when the stocks of Canadian wheat reached enormous proportions and prices for \u201cthe world famous grain,\u201d were depressed.In a review of the world wheat situation the Dominion Bureau of Statistics stated that the livestock population in North America is consuming wheat, bushel for bushel with the human population and wheat hitherto the preserve of human beings has been \u201cpinch hitting\u201d for oats, barley and other feed stuffs and has made possible the maintenance of record numbers of livestock on North American farms.The Bureau's report further stated that an estimated total of 590,000,- 000 bus.of wheat will be fed to an- fmals on this continent during the crop year 1943-44, which ends July 31 of this year.Civillan and home military requirements in Canada was able to reach Winnipeg before his death, as well as his sister, Mrs.Jack Robertson, of Nipawin, Bask, He was a member of the Masonic Order.and buried with Masonic honours.-0- Mr.William James Stewart There passed peacefully away to his rest.on Monday evening, May 15, 1944, one who was known to all as one of the good citizens of this community.Mr.William J.Stewart.Born on September 3.1877, son of the late James Stewart and Margaret Henry Stewart.\"W.J.as he was well and familiarly known, spent all his life in Elgin.farming the land which has been in the possession of his family for 135 years.He was intensely interested in sport, and over a considerable period he wns associated with the old \u201cBeaver Baseball Team\u201d ns manager and president.He married Miss Myrtle Fllot.of Huntingdon.on Oct.22, 1919, and to their union two children were born, Thelma (Mrs.George Jesty) and Allan both at home.Mr.Stewart has been in poor health for the past twelve years.During all this time he was nursed with unfailing devotion by his wife and family.No word of complaint as to his condition was ever heard to pass his lips and his passing was as quiet as his living.The funeral from his late residence was held in Athelstan Presbyterian Church.The funeral service was conducted by his pastor.Rev.Mr.Woodside, assisted by Mr.R.G.MacMillan.The floral tributes were beautiful, being sprays from the family.the Robsons and Elliots.the Starks, Mr.and Mrs.Fred Bergevin and Mr.Jas.Henry, the Henry family.Mr.Charles Kenny, Stewart's School No.5.Beaver Softball Team, and the Women's Association of Athelstan United Church.C.C.F.Member Would Throttle Press That Canada is to continue to have a free press, with only such censorship as war requirements imposed, was made clear in Parliament by Major-Gen.L R.Lafleche, Minister of National War Services.The challenge to a democratic press came from Clarence Gillis, C.CF.member for Cape Breton South.He objected to newspaper reports of the holiday taken by Nova Scotia miners of his constituency after they received a large amount of back pay.He suggested that newspapers should be prohibited from promptly answered that such an event was certainly not a subject for censorship and that the Government had no intention of interfering with the complete freedom of Canadian publications.A Flower Sponge Select a largee sponge with large pores, wet it and place two or three hyacinth bulbs in the pores near the centre.Sprinkle grass or mustard seed around the balance of the sponge.Hang it in a sunny window and keep the sponge damp.You will soon have a pretty flower ball entirely covering the sponge.Splinters If there is a splinter

period may total only 580,000,000 bushels.| It would take Canada about 13 {years on the basis of the prewar bread consumption to get rid of the | amount of wheat that the livestock will consume in the current crop year while the civilian population of the United States would need at least 15 months to digest the flour i product of 500,000,000 bus.By the end of July this year it is expected that in the 12 months to i that date.Canada will have disposed of 500,000,000 bushels of wheat, the largest disappearance in a single crop year since 1928-29, when the Dominion achieved a record ex- | port business.Domestic utilization of i the 500,000,000 bushels will account for nt least 175,000,000 bushels while a substantial part of the balance will go to the United States for livestock feed purposes.According Lo these figures Canada should have on hand nt July 31, 1944, approximately 375.- 000,000 bushels of wheat.This compares with Canadian stocks of wheat at the end of July last year totalling 594.000,000 bushels and indicates the sharp decrease in stocks over the period of 12 months.Canada's smallest wheat crop in the past 29 years was 180,000,000 bushels which was harvested in the very bad drought year of 1937.A crop no larger than this in 1044, added to the prospective supply \"which will be on band at the \u2018end of | July, would permit the disposition of ! 500,000,000 bushels in 1944-45 and stl leave Canada with 55,000,000 ! bushels of wheat on hand at July 31, 1945, to be added Lo the crop of that year.However, at present there is no indication that Canada during the current summer will suffer such a year os 1937.In its Canadian crop report, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics preliminary fAgures showed that an increase of nearly 4,000,000 acres, mostly in the prairie provinces, will be seeded to wheat this year as compared with 1943.According to the Bureau's survey wheat acreage in- { tended for 1944, is 21,325,800 acres, | compared with 17,4877700 acres in 1943.Planting intentions this year ;are about the same as that in 1943, | when 20,663,000 acres of land were planted to wheat.| The latest crop report issued by I the Oanadian Pacific Ratlway, states that 1007; of the wheat has been planted In Manitoba and 82¢/ of the coarse grains, while in 8as- katchewan 84\": of the wheat has been sown, and In Alberta 87/7 is in the ground.Manitoba to date 18 in the best position as regards moisture, although all three provinces could do with much more precipita- on, Farmers in the western provinces now receive $1.25 for No.1 northern wheat.This compares with prices: ranging from 55 to 73 cents during the 1938-40 crop season.The sharp increase in demand for Canadian wheat has improved its selling price.Canadian exporters look forward to the end of hostilities when Canada will be able to supply European countries with much needed flour.Undoubtedly this will assist Canadian trade, but it will have its complications.The question is what will the European markets be able to supply Canada with in return for the huge wheat shipments.As we all realize these countries will require some time to recuperate from the damage and havoc which the Nazi hordes have inflicted upon their lands and homes.During the period efgrecuperation Canada will have to give these countries time to make their payments.In the meantime Canada has a large contract with Great Britain, to supply huge quantities of dairy products and meat.In order to pay for this Britain will ship goods to Canada.But Canada wilt be importing from the other European nations once they are able to do so.Canadians will not be able to consume all the material brought in from Great Britain and the European nations.Therein lles the problem.Hemmingtord In the list of

Series) should not remain in private hands.\u201d Who is to be the judge?You see how they leave it wide open to their own arrogant judgment\u2014and they even add this, to show that we'd all \u201ccome under\" their regimentation and compulsion: \u201cIt should be emphasized that the whole economy will come under the national plan and that every sector will have to play its part in the plan, Even enterprise which may be left in private hands will therefore function in accordance with the controls, regulations and standards which the achievement of the plan will require.\u201d The CCF is vainly trying to evade the fact that in their previous literature they disclosed what we termed a disreputable political trick.That trick was the promise of \u201ccompensation\u201d to anybody whose business they took over\u2014for we showed in their own words that they were pledged to tax back again all the compensation\u2014which they describ- tinues\u201d to our list of CCF \"weasel words\".Make no mistake, the CCF will assume to judge how you run your business, whether you \u201cexploit\u201d the public when you aim at a profit, whether you are likely to become \u201csocially\u201d dangerous, and whether you are \u201cloyally\u201d playing your part.If in their judgment your way of running what is left \u201cfree\u201d to you is not in line with their ideas and conforming to their rules, they'll take your \u2018business away from you.\u2018They say so in as many words.Here it is, from page 163: \u201cIf a private business (1) is in no position to exploit the public (2) shows no signs of becoming a socially dangerous vested interest (3) is being operated under decent working conditions and (4) is ready loyally to play its part in the fulfilment of the national plan, there is no social or economic reason why lt STACK OF DISHES and WATER WON'T RUN OUT! written our article appears on this page on \u201cWhat the CCF Plans to do With Canada\u201d\u2014

about the ready grasp exhibited by Canadians that the CCF policy is confiscation, in \u201cMake This Your Canada,\u201d they say: \u201cIt is not the intention of CCF policy to PAUPERIZE any class or section of the Canadian people.\u201d The editor of The Canadian Statesman now points out that apparently fearful of the effect of their previous statement that compensation would be taken away by speclal taxes, Professor Scott and David Lewis, in their latest book, have conveniently omitted their intended taxing process.They just won't \u201cpauperize\u2019\u201d anybody, now.Presumably they

enterprises are free from the \u201cfear of want\u201d proves that under right conditions Private Enterprise can cancel that fear from the lives of the worker.If conditions are right?Is the profit motive the fault?What is profit motive?The desire to get more than the cost of production.It costs me $30.00 to raise a hog and I sell it for $30.00 ought I to be satisfied?Should anybody be

amount of profit I make may be questioned, my methods may be irregular and may be condemned but the desire to make a profit is both natural and necessary.Profit motive \u2014vested interests\u2014power blocs all today are condemned yet handled by the right people in a proper manner they can be productive of great good.What is a vested interest?When two or more, having the same inter- tion is then a vested interest.The interests of the several individuals is now vested in the group.The | Church even is a vested interest, .especially so is a denomination with- lin a particular religious belief.Those of similar religious conviction or inclination join themselves into a denomination to protect or further those particular convictions.The furthering of those convictions is a motive, or the profit from that banding together.Thus even the Church is a vested interest with a profit motive.Anything wrong or evil in that?If conditions were right all private enterprises possibly could, as some already do, lift the fear of want from their employees.What are these conditions?Can we, here in Canada, control all the conditions?Do conditions outside of Canada enter to any important extent into our appreciation of the necessary conditions?These ques- lions are important and for a correct solution to our post-war problems it is necessary to give them careful consideration.An employer having every inten- War Paint for the Home Front House paint is war paint these days:\" Paint will preserve your home : : : prevent small damage from becoming serious and

travelled for quite some time we get off just where we started.Raising salaries here in Canada cannot cure the trouble, it goes much deeper.Prac- | tically no industry in Canada is dependent solely on what is termed the domestic market, tied in with its operation is the condition of worldwide trade and our Government here in Canada cannot control world trade.Well then we must have international control.Consider just what this involves, it is quite complex.In a future article we will consider just what is involved in international control of trade.We can see, however, that for an employer to give his employees the pay and services it is desired they shall receive he must dispose profitably, of the goods manufactured and that the attitude of the Employee towards his work enters largely into this ability.Does the attitude of the average worker towards his work help his employer to the best of the employees ability?Let us be honest in our thinking.Just what do we think about the amount of work turned in by the average employee these days?They do as much as they are paid for, you say\u2014perhaps\u2014but that is not the question, are they doing each day the best that they can do?Private enterprise is myself doing just what I feel like doing.I can work as hard as I like (unless 1 belong to a Union) or as little as T can get away with, that is my privilege as a free individual.I can help or I can obstruct.Industry under private enterprise can do certain things\u2014if the conditions are right.If today the conditions are not right to just what extent are we, the workers, responsible.Have we a right to demand that industry whether government or privately owned, give us such-and-such a benefit when we, either individually or as a vested interest, (a union) do our best to make it impossible for them to meet our requirements.Can we have security from the cradle to the grave under private enterprise?We quite likely can if both, the employer and the employee, make an honest effort to play fair with each other.Next week we will discuss government ownership of industry and see if it has anything better to offer than has private enterprise.At the Movies

and Jack Haley at the head of a notable cast of mirth-makers.A group of servants in the palatial home of a bankrupt plano tycoon join with him to retrieve their joint fortunes.The complications that follow form the hilarious plot.Their plan is to dress up the kitchen slavev in gala attire, pose her as the tycot 1's debutante daughter and hastily marry her off to some rich man.The plan ignores the fact that the slavey is secretly in love with the valet\u2014who dreamt up the scheme in the first place.She doesn't want to marry the supposed Bitish Lord the group selects for her.The

country's war effort is an additional argument in support of the man's good faith.During the debate in the house there has been a strong plea advanced by members of the opposition for the religious freedom of the individual.The answer of the minister of justice to this is that there is nothing in the regulations to interfere with a man thinking, teaching or worshipping the Almighty in any way that his conscience may dictate.The question was raised ever the situation surrounding the sect known as Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses.It was claimed in the house that while the ban was raised from the sect itself, its subsidiary organizations should also be declared legal.The sect had originally been placed under the ban because of its teaching that its adherents were not subject to manmade laws.Our Future Foreign Trade The importance of foreign trade in Canada's economy has been emphasized by Graham Towers, governor of the Bank of Canada before the house of commons committee on banking and commerce.Canada depends on this trade for 30 per cent of its national income.The export trade has been greatly increased through the stimulus of war.In recent statements J.A.Mackinnon, minister of trade and commerce, has pointed out that imports and exports exclusive of gold export reached $751.800.000 in the first three months of 1944 compared with $550.- 200,000 for the same period of 1943.Canada was now the third trading nation in the world.During the war Canada has expanded her exports of the products of agriculture, Industry of all kinds, her mines, forests and fisheries.Agricultural production has gone up 50 per cent.About 80 per cent of our export business may be classed as \u201cwar\u201d business, and 20 per cent as \u201cnormal and permanent.\u201d The mainstay of Canada's trade both during the war and before the war has been this country's trade with the United Kingdom and the United States.The United Kingdom has been the major market for Canadian products and nothing should take precedence in postwar years of our efforts in the face of new conditions prevailing to preserve that market for the products of Canadian agriculture and industry, said Mr.MacKinnon.He hoped for release from barriers of the trade with the United Kingdom and the United States in postwar years, and for expansion of trade with other coun- trjes.YOUR BREAD IS AMAZING MY YEAST 1S AMAZING / Opinions Of Others A POLITICIAN SLIPS Mr.J.Armand Choquette who last August was elected to Parliament as a Bloc Populaire member for Stanstead, was recently caught smuggling cigarettes from the United States, according to the Stan- stead Journal.According to the report in the Journal, Mr.Choquette, M.P., whose home is at Kateville, accompanied by two residents of Magog, visited Beebe on Saturday, April 15th.As a dance was being held that night at Burrough's Falls, all automobiles going northward were being stopped and searched by the Mounties When Mr.Choquette's car was stopped they found 2,340 American cigarettes which were seized.The cigarettes, duties and fines totalled $172.40, and the cigarettes were confiscated.The Journal says, \u2018There was some little talk about fines for crossing the line without reporting, also alleged violation of Foreign Exchange Trade Board rulings.\u201d Members of Parliament are supposed to be the leaders of the country, and they are the men who make rulings about customs, border crossings, etc.They should be the last ones to be connected with any such incidents as the one reported \u2014 Granby Ieader-Mail.-0- DEMOCRACY

writes that when women got the vote he was delighted.He approves their wearing pyjamas and slacks, doesn't mind their going to prizefights and burlesque shows, or pitching for the New York Giants if they can make the team.But he is greatly distressed by their use of the male vocabulary.Time was when women spoke in words like divine, lovely, exquisite, pretty, charming, enchanting, and so forth.Men use words like lousy, stinko, rotten, crumby, screwy, ete.Today the girls seem to have abandoned all words suggestive of daintiness.A man's a jerk, a rat, a bandit, wolf, | pirate or caveman.Where is this all going to end?0 POLICE HELP JUVENILES London's police department is to be congratulated on the establishment of the Police Boys\u2019 Club.If this organization is unique in

they took his stove and bed for the debt on his lumber, his cow went to pay for seed oats he had got the year before, and he was cut adrift.How did it happen, we asked, as he came pitifully to our door one cold fall day, seeking shelter.\u201cIt was the high prices I had to pay for everything that whipped me\u201d, he said.\u201cYou remember in 1919 when I came back after the war, how high everything was, horses, machinery, binder twine, building materials.Wheat was a pretty price, too, and of course I expected it to stay that way.But by 1923 wheat had dropped more than half in price.But the price of the things I had to buy hadn\u2019t gone down anything like the price of wheat.And I kept on paying just as high interest on my mortgage and on the money I had borrowed to get horses and machinery.And just as high taxes.And I had to pay just as high wages for help.\u201cAnd wheat never did go back And when the drought came and there wasn't any wheat, it finished me.So I never did get out of the hole.And there are a lot of others like me\".We saw him again the other evening and he remarked feelingly: \u201cI hope it wont be the same for the kids who come home after this war.I haven't much fight left in me now, I know, but I'll tight inflation as long as there's breath in m body.y DELIVERY NOTICE Owing to a reduced staff on Saturday after- to load any trucks at our noons, we will be unable mill or warehouses after until September 16th.11.00 a.m.on Saturdays McDonald & Robb Limited.Valleyfield, Que.to the price it was in '19 and \"20.|ing To Rent HOUSE with 6 rooms, with electricity, immediate possession.% mile West of Huntingdon, Ridge Road.Apply to Roger Leduc, Huntingdon.2 FURNISHED ROOMS, board optional.Apply 28 Bouchette St.Huntingdon.TRTTIERITTII TITTLE NII ERI FXII ITS RTT ESI LTE NOTICE A few Renfrew kitchen ranges for June delivery.Renfrew Machinery Company Lyall J.Graham, Local Representative TELEPHONE 2289, HERDMAN COLLE TTL SL ATTESTANT SM CAM SLA ANS SAME NOTICE All arrears of School Taxes not paid by June 15th inst., will be sent in for collection.By order of Howick School Beard, Thos.T.Gebbie, Sec.-Treas.NOTICE For welding and Repairs of all kinds bring your troubles to us.Laurent Legault Phone 588 \u2014 White's Station Notice We will deliver plants in Hunt- ingdon, Devwittville and Ormstown on THURSDAY, MAY 25th Miss McMeekin, 41 St.Philippe St.Valleyfield, Que.Notice I wish to take this opportunity to thank the friends and neighbours, who so kindly helped to extinguish the grass fire started in my orchard recently.WM.GREIG.Notice School Municipality of Godmanchester TEACHERS WANTED Applications will be received by the undersigned until June 2nd for teachers or school masters for the following schools: No.7 Beaver, No.8 Rutherford, No.4 Kilbane, No.5 Clyde's Corner, No.2 Back Ridge, No.1 New Erin, No.6 Dewittville.Salaries $600.00 per year.J.O.MICHAUD, Sec.-Treas.Sales by T.J.Graham AUCTION SALE To be sold by public auction on Saturday, May 27, at the residence of Charles Sellar in Hemmingford Village.Household furniture consisting of one buffet, one cook stove, 1 box stove, 2 iron beds, springs and mattresses, 2 bureaux, 2 commodes, library table, Aladdin lamp, writing desk, assorted chairs, brand new breakfast set consisting of buffet, extension table and 4 chairs with red leather seats, end tables, 3-burn- er oil stove, couch, gramaphone and records, glassware, dishes, pots, pans and other articles not mentioned.All to be sold without reserve.Terms of sale: Cash.Sale at 1 P.M.T.J.GRAHAM, Auctioneer.TENDERS FOR COAL AND COKE Federal Bldgs.\u2014Province of Quebec SEALED TENDERS addressed to the undersigned, and endorsed \u201cTender for Coal, Province of Quebec.\u201d will be received until 3.00 P.M.(E.D.S.T.)
