Dunning fell the arduous task of presenting in vigor- ous and convincing style the fifty- two page budget to a crowded and ex- tremely interested House. Four Provincial Premiers in the distin- guished visitors gallery listened eag- erly. The members heartily applauded Mr. Hepburn, Mr. Bracken, Mr. Pat- terson of Saskatchewan and Mr. Pat- uUo, as they took their seats. Gov- ernment House was represented by Lady Tweedsmuir, attended by A. S. Redfern, the Governor-General's sec- retary. This was the second budget to be submitted by Mr. Dunning. Hia first he brought down just six years ago today. Well-groomed, compet- ent and entii-ely at ease, the Finance Minister reviewed the financial con- dition of Canada, estimated the a- mount of money he believed it would take for the coming year and told how he proposed to raise the money. The House gave "Charlie" Dunning an ovation when he rose. All members recognized his outstanding ability and colourful political career. Coming Dundalk Homes Robbed Two robberies occurred in Dtindslk Monday night when thieves collected fifty dollars in cash. The homes entered were those of R. A. B. Ritchie, manager of the Bell Telephone office, from which about thirty dollars was alleged to have been stolen and Mrs. Thos. Lockhart when about |20.00 was taken. Provincial Constable S, H. Cook of Fleshei-ton was notified and conducted an investigation Tues- day, but no arrests have yet been made.

Nixon Bros, awaited on the council requesting that an extension be made of the road on 30th sideroad to enable them to have better access EUGENIA Rev. Mr. Bushell in his address on Sunday spoke impresively on "one's conscience," and it was well to keep in mind the power of the conscience and made reference to Proverbs, chap. 6, verse 22, "When thou goest it shall lead thee, when thou sleepest it shall keep thee, and when thou awakest it shall talk with thee." Next .Sunday will be Mother's Day. There will be an appropriate service and a mothers' choir. The Y.

Scripture was read by Carmel .Martin and Mrs. Martin took the worship period, while Annieta took the dis- cussion, the topic being, "The study to their land.

Sayers Francis Henry Sayers passed away at his home 10th line, Osprey town- ship on Thursday, \\ni\ 23rd, aged 77 years. He was born in Erin township and was a son of the lata Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Sayers. He noar- ried Miss Ellen Weldrick, al.so of Os- prey, at Raveima on March 2nd 1887, wlio predeceased him on July 9th, l'.)34. He leaves to mourn one son. Moron of the 10th line, Osprey, and four daughters, Lila (Mrs. Lewia Genoe) of Eugenia, Elsie (Mrs. Will McArthur) of Ravenna, Reta (M!rs. Frank Shortt) of Feversham and Ella Mrs. Duncan Williams of Eugenia. Ho also leaves two sisters, Mary (Mrs. John Ottewell) of Lady Bank and Clara (Mrs. Chas. Weldrick) of Fev- ersham. There are also 14 grand- children and one great grand-child. The late Mr. Sayers was a resident of Osprey almost all his life and was highly respected as a neighbor and many mourn with the friends in his death after only a short illness. He followed the occupation of farming and was a member of the former million dollars to put people who have to Canada from Leicestershire when 17 ^een on relief on the land. Some of years old, he hired with a farmer at t^em are put on small plots of crown Yorkton, Saskatchewan and proceed- ed by way of homesteading and active work in the Grain Growers Associa- tion to head the Saskatchewan Co operative Elevator Company. His marked executive and business ability was recognized by the Hon. Mr. Mar- tin, then Prime Minister of the Prov- ince, who invited him to join his Cabinet, which a few years later he headed as Prime Minister. In 1926 Mr. Mackenzie' King asked Mr. Dun ning to come to Ottawa as Minister of Railways and Canals, which pos- Hion he held until 1929, when he be- came Minister of Finance. Mr. Dunning met personal defeat in his Regnna constituency in the elec- tion of 1930 and from then until the Liberals were swept into power with their ovei-whelming majority, in Oct- ober last, Mr. Dunning was actively engaged in big business, C.P.R., Maple Leaf Milling Company, some insurance and what-not. He did not contest a seat in the general election but was offered the portfolio of fin- ance by Mr. King and a constituency was opened for him, in Prince Edward Island. So soon after the presentation of lands in the northern parts of the provinces, are given $600 to provide equipment and in some cases $100 a year for the two succeeding years. The.se are often small plots of five and ten acres. This particular scheme is relief on the land; the other two are more in the nature of land settle- ment. Some of us argued, the more people are put on the land, the more depressed agricultural prices will be- come, partly through an increase in production and partly by the elimin- ation of consumers of farm products. We pointed out that help to the farm- ers who are striving so hard to save their homes and stay on the land, would be a much wiser policy and that if trained and hard-working farmers are going deeper into debt, there was little hope of raw and un- tried recruits making a success of it. Mr. Howe, the Minister of Railways and Canals told the House that he had been successful in selling five Canadian National boats operating between Halifax, Australia and New Zealand. They were sold to the Elder Dempster Line and it was gruaranteed that the service should continue for five years. On another Mrs. Geo. Phillips was in Toronto for a few days last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stinson moved to Dundalk on Friday. Mr. Geo. Mitchell and Miss Made- line Hunter of Toronto spent the week end with the former's parents in town.

Sayers, father of Councellor Sayers. On reassembling at 4 o'clock and resuming business Mr. M. P. McLean awaited on the council to see if any arrangement couhi be made whereby he would be able to collect interest money from a relief recipient, as council had no power to act he was advised accordingly. The collector, Mr. Londry, made an appeal for the balance of liis salary as collector, but as there is some errors to his returns and when these are corrected he will be paid. Relief recipients came up for dis- the budget one is imable to give any- ! occasion he presented to the House thing but the highlights. The Pin- j the proposed change in the organiza- ance Minister presented a picture of , tion of the railway management. The slow but consistence economic im- provement, making, however, some- thing of an exception in the case of agriculture. The basic industry had not improved as rapidly as the others. He faced the huge deficit honestly and made no attempt to balance ordinary accounts by taking out the huge items which would prevent a balance, as has been the custom in later years. This bolder method of accounting left a deficit of $162 million. Mr. Dunning believed it would be unwise to attempt to balance the bud- get one year from now since that would involve serious deflation. He proposed therefore to raise enough taxes to reduce the deficit a year hence to something less than $100 million. The Corporation income tax was in- creased from 13 'A per cent to 15 per cent, and the maximum automobile excise tax placed at $250. The In- new act provides for a board of dir- ectors of seven instead of the present set-up of three trustees. The gov- ernment is to have no representative on the board. Mr. Bob Cari|uthers of London has taken a position in D. McTavish and I cussion with the reusit that the Ban nerman and Knuff families were cul off from receiving any more. The auditor. Mr. Vanwyck, made his report of the 1935 accounts ami these being found satisfactory the clerk was instructed to have the Statutory copies printed and distri- buted to any ratepayers who would wish to have them. Ml-. Alex. Moore and Mr. Hy. Flet- cher were notifie<i that they would be required to pay $10.00 and current taxes for Township properties for the year 1936. The road Supt. was instructed to secure a suitable place to store the snow fences during the summer months, also that the bonus on the erection of wire fence would be in- creased 50 per cent, of the cost of wire. General accounts oi-dered paid were Workmen's Compensation Board, for administration for 1935, $12.34; Mc- Tavish & Son, car hire, $6.80; County Office & Supply Co., supplies, $44.33; Badgeros, Maxwell and Singhainpton Public Libraries were given a grant of $10.00 each; C. L. Vanwyck fees as auditor $75.00; Jno. Lockhart and C. N. Long 3.00 each for expenses to son s garage.

MILLER Flesherton The death of Harry W. Anderson has brought sorrow to many people. His warm-hearted, generous nature had endeared him to all those with whom he worked or came in contact. His years of interest in penal reform had led to his appointment to the Royal Commission for the investig- ation of prisons and his death at this time is a distinct loss to the- cause of penal reform.
