Not Too Late "It is not too late yet to save ocean ports. Hon. R. B. Bennett, as Leader of the Opposition at the 19830 session, in speaking on this question in the House, said: 'I do think, and I say it to the Prime Minister, that this matter should be the subject of a judicial inquiry.' Will he, now that he can have such inquiry, see that it fs made? The opportunity is available, and if On- tario is to be protected, it should be held. no matter whom it affects. Mr, M. F. Hepburn, M.P., Ontario Liber- al Leader, has an opportunity, which he will no doubt embrace, to demand such inquiry from his place in the House of Comons, on behalf of the people of Ontario desiring cheaper power and more transpor- tation facilities. "I feel compelled to reiterate in this brief statement the situation of Ontario in relation to its Hydro policy, in view of editorials com- menting on matters which were dis- cussed at the recent session. The people of Ontario should realize that unless they are awakened to the situation the original 'power at cost' principle of Hydro is being abandoned, and that we are now to have distribution by Hydro of power at cost of production, plus dividends and profits of privately owned com- panies in Quebec, and that this of necessity precludes any St. Law- rence development, for lack of a market for power, owing to our hav- ing already contracted for power for the requirements of many years to come." OSHAWA ROTARY CLUB IS HOST T0 BROOKLIN FARMERS (Continued from page 1) that there is not one here who would change his badge of citizenship for citizenship in any other country, Can- ada is not in it§ death agonmies but in its birth throes." Calling to mind, the hardships which were endured by the early pioneers in the founding of this coun- try, Mr. Martin bade his hearers 'to have the obscryvation, the foresight, the courage and the enterprise of these hardy builders of our nation, He was confident that, if we meet the problems of today in the spirit in which they met the almost insur- mountable difficulties of yesterday, the Dominion's destiny would be a glorious one indeed. Important as its natural resources, industries and trade were to a na- tion, the speaker declared that of most importance is the quality of its citizenship. In this connection he re- ferred to the great work which is be- ing done by the Boys' Training School at Bowmanville in the train- ing of delinquent boys to become splendid, useful citizenship, "The motto of the schogl is 'Play the game.' We must make this our motto too." Rotary International From the national, Hon. Mr. Mar- tin passed on to the international and in his eloquent manner pictured the grave danger to civilization of a fu- ture war, "There will be always this danger of war until we succeed in abolish- ing among nations the will to war, 1 fear that natiogs will continue to go along, gambling with each other as to their superiority in employing new and more disastrous weapons of war, We need a better understanding and a feeling of mutual fellowship be- tween peoples.

The will to war will dis- appear when we follow the teachings of the Master who exemplified in "is own life that it is the one who serves who does the geratest good. Upon this ideal of service, Rotary is found- ed." In appropriate terms; Rotarian W. stressed that the measure of a man's life was not his cleverness, his suc- cess in his business or profession but in his willingness to sacrifice for the common good. "We need in Canada not great men in church, in state, in business or in education, but men who value highly the privilege of service and sacrifice; even as it was valued by those vali- ant men who gave their lives over- seas." The speaker had been introduced to his audience by Rotarian George Hart, who pointed out that Hon, Mr, | Martin had the unique distinction of| being a minister of the gospel and a minister of the Crown. Rotarian | Hart voiced high praise for his abil- ities and his reference to his i quence as a spcaker was more than sustained in the address. In appropriate terms, oRtarian W, G. Gilbert expressed the appreciation of the audience for the presence of the minister of public welfare at the banquet and for his encouraging mes- sage. He recalled the banquet given by the club to the farmers two years ago when another Martin, the Hon. John S. Martin, Minister' of Agri- culture, had been the speaker, "The occasion was full of zeininis. cence for many," he commented, Brooklin gave to Ontario a ob Who of Agrieulturewho stands second to none, in the nerson of the late Hon, fin Dryden." D. Frank Johnston, president of the Rotary Club, acted as master of ceremonies last night in a genial and capable manner and under his di- rection the best of good feelings pre- yailed. Recalling the banquet which the club tendered the farmers, two years ago, President Johnston com- mented that he noticed that the members and their guests seemed this time to be more free and casy with each other. "That is as it should be," he obser- ved. "It is pleasing to note this bet- ter fecling for surely it is good for city and country folk to get to- gether," The banquet hall was gayly decor- ated last night, while the tables were made bright and colorful with spring flowers. Much favorable comment was made about the sumptuous and delicious repast which was provided by the ladies of the Brooklin Wo- men's Institute and President Johns- ton pointedout that it would be im- possible to get finer service any- where. He conveyed to the ladies the hearty appreciation of the club and also thanked] memebrs of the Brooklin Scout Trosp who assisted in checking hats and coats, Fine Program A fine program, which ran the gauntlet from the humorous to the classical, was provided through the energy of Rotarian Dave Tod and his active committee. A number of stunts were included, a draw being made as the result of which three of the Brooklin ladies received gifts, A rove feature of the program was a duet from the opera "Behind the Danube, which was presented by two talented members of Osh- awa's Ukrainian population, Mrs Anna Stagick and Mr, Stanley Mozewsky McLelland, while they were accommpanied by Mrs. 8. G. Carnell at the plano tive costume, astonished the audi ence with their ability. They also presented a love nimber with song and dance. Jack Parker, the well Whitby entertainer, was also on hand and delighted the banquet with his comic songs. He was ac- companied by Rotarian M, Gould- burn at the piano.

SPECKLES By craft guile we may attain That which by strength we cannot gain, : --Mrs. Speckles the Starling. Mrs. Speckles is an opportunist. An opportunist is, you know, one who is always ready to take advantage of opportunity and make the most of it, regardless of right and wrong. Such people are likely to be crafty and fill ed with guile. Mrs, Speckles the Starling is that kind. The rights of others mean nothing to her. Her chief concern is to get what she wants when she wants it. It is no: thing to her that a house has been made in a certain family among her feathered neighbors for many years. It she wants that house and has a chance to take possession, she doesn't hesitate to do so. This is one rea- son that she and Speckle are heartily diliked in the Old Orchard and every- where else where they have ncigh- bors. Now, Mrs. Speckles had been aid- ing Speckles in his fight with Yellow Wing the Flicker, but all the time she had been keeping a watchful eye on Mrs. Yellow Wing sitting in the doorway of her new home amd screaming excitedly as she watched the battle. When she saw Yellow Wing getting the worst of it, for he two, 'she forgot every- but a great desire to take part in that battle and help drive those Starlings away. Down she flew to Yellow Wing's aid, Now t' just what Mrs. Spec- kles had been hoping and watching for. .

"He can always fly away. if they are too much for him. He is quicker in the air than they are and he can keep them busy without my help. Meanwhile I'll get poses- sion of that house, and once I am in , let them get out if they can. So it was that by the time Mrs. Yellow Wing had joined in the fight on the groun od, Mrs. Speckles was oc- cupying her former place in the door- way of that new house he and Mrs, Yellow Wing had worked so hard to thing instant that hole PORT PERRY (Miss M.

Work For Crippled The speaker also referred to the work being done today for crippled children. Causes of erippled con- ditions might be hereditary, ac- quired through conditions of dis- ease, or acquired through accl- dents. It was very necessary that children have proper nutrition and protection from infectious dis- eases, he observed, for paralysis often resulted from such diseases ag infantile paralysis, scarlet fever, or tuberculosis, The service clubs, hospitals and public health services were doing a tremendous work for the erip- pled children, and it was very necessary that conditions that lead to crippling be corrected before they became permanent, This work was very worth while from an economic standpoint alone, for it not only enabled the child to become self supporting, but it re- leased for other duties the adult person who had to be in constant attendance, The speaker was In President E.

BABY BULL MARKET IN GOLD STOCKS Distinct Upward Trend in Major Stocks on Wall St. Recently is visiting was New York, April 22,--By virtue of economics and legislative fiat, the gold mining industry is looking up. A sideshow to the recent bear and bull tussles in the big tent in Wall street has been a baby bull market in gold mining stocks. The highly speculative nature of gold mining, and the numerous fraudulent mining promotions by which "gold brick" securities werg wold to guillable buyers in »; de weades, had caused Wall Stre beneath its dignity, Not since the vigorous di} ment of Rand Mines in Sou rica Aouad the turn of thi tary | had ya Street seen 1 ull market in the Yellow issues, and then the bull i convention of the .O.D.E. | cut out in the telegi: } Now that the tables were turned and Speckles found that the dds against him were two to one, be withdrew from the fight, or at leagt pretended to. Yellow Wing followed him. Mrs. Yellow Wing, with a scream of tri- umph, made a final dash at him and then turned to go back to that pre- cious home, There sat Mrs, Speckles in the doorway, quite filling it. Her eyes fairly snanned with triumph, Poor Mrs. Yellow Wing. She knew just how great an 'advantage Mrs. Speckles now held. She knew, too, how crafty Mrs, Speckles had been, She knew also how foolish she het self had been in leaving that house unguarded for a single minute. With an angry cry she dashed for that doorway, alighting just below it and striking with all her might at Mrs, Speckles. The latter merely with- drew her head and Mrs, Yellow Wing missed. She realized then how dif ficult, if not impossible, it was going Speckles out to be to get Mrs, § Speckles had heen n, clin Meanwhile aware of all that was ing « quicker of wing than' Yellow Wing, he dodged the latter and flew back to attack Mrs. Yellow Wing as she clung to that telegraph' p S fierce was his attack and so a disadvantage was Mrs, Yellow Wing that she was forced to dodge around the pole. Then Yellow Wing returned and once more it was two to one; for, of course, Mrs. Speckles wouldn't leave that doorway to take part in the fight. She had secured possession of that house and meant to retain it. Besides, the fight was not now so uncven as you might think. The two Flickers were cling- ing to that pole and, thercfore, in a poor position to fight; whereas, Speckles could dash in, strike, w dash away again before cither them could hit him. "It is too bad." said Welcome Rob- Welcome. "I fear the lost that new ole much at she of in to Mrs, Yellow Wings have house of theirs. Mrs. Yellow Wing shouldn't have left it.
