H. Moore, M.P. It was a happy occasion and the management of the Lodge is to be complimented upon the quality and quantity of both banquet and service. It was a real feast, 'Mr. Harry Peel, President of the Association was toastmaster. The' toasts included: The King, The De- partment of Publie Works of Canada, proposed by W. M. Bowes, with J. M. Wilson, Chief District Engineer, re- sponding; Our Honoured Guests, first proposed by C. P. Devitt, with re- sponse by Frank Rickard, M.P.; second proposed by S. Farmer, with response by W. H. Moore," M.P. ° Our Visitors, propsed by Reeve W. M. Letcher, with responses by Ww. G. Bowles, and J. P. Coombe, of the De- partment of Municipal Affairs. . Added to the program were some merry numbers by Charles Partridge, illusionist, We don't know how he does it, but he does it. Reeve Letcher led in community singing. The maln thought expressed hy the several speakers who proposed the toasts, and by My, Peeldn his intro- ductory remarks, was that in the building of the new road and the im- provements at the waterfront, Port Perry had become the centre of a much enlarged community; and would under proper guidance attract many tourists in years to come, ' © Mr, PJ. Coombe, of the Department of Municipal Affairs gave point to all these remarks by stating that Port Perry is in a very happy, position fin- ancially and giving credit to the Jocal municipal officers for thelr good work in this respect. Mr, J, M, Wilson, chief District- En- gineer, made clear the real sense. of co-operation between Canada -and the United States in-all matters pertaining to the international boundary, Even in such complicated affairs as the de- velopment of power in the St, Law- rence Waterways, everything Is settled harmoniously by a Board of six per- sons--three Canadians and three Am- ericans. Beated quietly around the conference table difficulties are ironed out and unanimous decisions reached. Everything was considered upon its merits, without partizanship. Mr. Rickard Speaks, ~.

He said his attitude in public matters was influ- ences by his belief in-- A strict observance -of the con- stitution, Support of the Federal system. The principle of the two party \ system, 4 Referring to recent criticism of. the Government, Mr. Rickard said that Canadians were quite within their rights if the criticism was construc- tive. Mere denunciation is useless and unfair. The speaker then gave a picture of the magnitude of the administrative business in Canada, with its army of employees and the wide scope of busi- ness, including not only regular civil service but the Post Office and kindred institutions. After listening to this recital one was convinced that govern- mental administration is_ "Big Busi- ness, 2 + Mr. Moore Speaks There is nothing unfair in saying that Mr. Moore gave the speech of the evening. . Hig theme was the new eco- nomic era; #nd in the development of his subject he made several practical applications that, if followed, may greatly affect the life of the Port Perry community, First, however, Mr, Moore, gave a brief pleture of ¢conomic conditions in the eighteenth century. In those days industry was limited by the 'fact that the main souree of power was secured in Great Britain, in two generations her population will bé reduced to one half its present number. An agricultural population is' vitally essential to the healthy growth of any country. With these facts in view, there must be a new turn in our economic system --a general decentralization of indus- try such as is now being carried out in Japan, where they are putting small factories in agricultural centres, Each little factory may specialize in pro- duction, sometimes of a single part of such article as a bicycle, or other pro- duct in general use by -the people. Later the parts are asembled and the people are served. Applying this idea locally, Mr. Moore suggested that Port Perry should explore its local requirements and possibilities. + He pointed to the fact that both Mr. Letcher and Mr. Jeffrey were dealing in leather. Why aot consider a tannery as a local in- dustry. - « Or perhaps a woolen mill {which tirives<well-as--a-smallescale industry) could be started in this dis- trict. While not a believer in subsides, Mr. Moore is of the opinion that the Government would be. better justified in subsidizing small industries produc- ing articles in local and general de- mand, than in bolstering up some in- dustry whére there was great over- production, Peel Bros, have blazed a trail in food manufacture, and thelr success has proved the soundness of their venture.
