1932 ac cording to a return issued by the department of labor the average pensionamountedtoslightly over 19 per month the maximum allowed by law being 20 per month five provinces and the northwest territories were participating in the scheme under which qualified residents over 70 years of age were pensioned up to a maximum of 240 per year with the dominion government paying 75 per cent of the total and the provinces paying the balance nova scotia new brunswick and prince edward island have passed legislation authorizing participation in the scheme wheri the act is pro claimed by the lieutenantgovernor incouncil but have not yet entered into operation quebec has not adopted the legislation the foundation principles for greater stability and yet they appeared so advanced that one would hesi tate to predict their adoption in the near future mr dafoe strbngly urged an international standard of exchange and the full cooperation of national central banks not only to raise prices and promote a flow of trade through world channels hut to keep such conditions stable if international coopera tion of a general nature can raise commodity prices lets get busy but im a bit skeptical he said i think however that we must look forward to a policy of national cooperation within each country there is no sense ending the depression and raising prices if we are going to sink into a slump again in five years or so- nor is there any sense to it if we must look forward to some idiot in high places starting to shoot up the world we must have real outlawry of war along with our economic recon struction stability is more to be desired than in flated prosperity if all the signs could be believed he said it appeared that the current depression was commencing to fade but leaving behind it lessons of difficulties and disaster more intensive than encount ered in any previous slump if we are going to have depressions again he said we must expect to see huge sums of public money expended to alleviate their effects this was the first depression in which we saw public treasuries drawn on as if a war was being fought but the moral wreckage of this de pression has been greater than that of any war it has been ghastly and terrifying to see- the destruc tion of the selfrespect that had besome so marked a feature of canadian citizens we see wandering armies drifting across canada homeless discouragl ed denied their keeping wherever jhey go because they have no residence qualification the passirg of the buck by the various spheres of authority has created a problem that will linger not only with this but with the next generation we are turningcan- adians of perfectly good stpck and previous respect ability into hoboes panhandlers and thugs who will perpetuate their kind is it not true that we would all be more keen to accept immediate prosperity or solution rather the slower regaining of normalcy and take the chance on creating conditions that will again put us into a turmoil in a few years if we are not prepared to pay the price of a slow and stable return to normal conditions then the present depressio has not gnnft ffljjiuiffhy chronicles of ginger

arid sewing classes for girls perhaps the boys will not suffer unduly but the girls are we fostering a feminine generation who will grow up to throw away stockiijgs rather than mend them watch for bar gains at the readytowear counters and later buy their layettes from the department stores where such things are sold by the hundred and all very much of the same quality and pattern are the days gone by when young prospec tive mothers will take a delight in mak ing small garments long before they are needed and spend many nappy months of preparation in fashioning wee dresses with exqulsitive embroidery and knitting all kinds of delightful little woollies perhaps the girl of the coming genera tion will have the same desire to do these things- as her mother and heii grandmother did before her but how ever great the desire she will be handi capped by lack of knowledge and thus be cheated out of one of the loveliest thrills of motherhood fine sewing cannot be learned in a day and while perhaps anyone can cobble up a hole in a stock ing and get away with it yet it takes years of practice to make a respectable darn as a matter of course perhaps the other side of the argument may toe tthese things should be taught at home perhaps so and as a matter of ifact they often are tout show me the girl who will work at i home at a given task as well as she will at school it isnt natural competition is lacking even the great canadian national exhibition is slipping back in the matter of attendance this year after many years registering an ever increasing gate record is there evasion according to a newspaper report a motor ac cident happened near hornby last week injuring several persons in police court one of the women occupants of the car pleaded guilty to being intoxi cated and was fined 10 and costs a charge of reckless driving has been laid against the driver of the car it is reported can it be that men are now teetotalers and women are inebriate we only know these facts as they are given in the newspaper report but it seems to be getting quite the common thing in reports that persons are not charged with being intoxicated when they are driving a car perhaps that is the reason that an editorial in a toronto daily was able to use the heading more motor accidents but fewer intoxicated drivers according to a recent report quoted in this article out of 1394 drivers involved in accidents only 14 were reported as being intoxicated one is almost led to wonder sometimes if charges are not so arranged between the panties so that the penalty pf the law may be evaded and the best settlement of damages secured while this method may be most satisfactory in the individual case it is not removing the menace of the astronomers tell us that it will not be until july 29

with 271695 tons worth l69463f in 1930 ontario is the principal salt producing province in the domin ion though salt is found in commercial quantities in the provinces of nova scotia and new brunswick a rumor persists in banking circles although it is denied by the principals to the effect that there is shortly to be an amalgamation of the globe and mail and empire ft is known that both have suf fered in the general decline of advertising during the depression and have had to effect important economies the disappearance of either of these journals will be much missed but these are days when a lot of things are missed the newspapers have felt the depression along with other businesses and the toll has been taken in all fields atmosphere is lacking and very often patience on the part of mother and pupil is also lacking in the days when i went to school we had sewing lessons twice a week fbrtorfy minutes we learnt darning and patching the proper way to hrm and how to saw seams stad how to turn the heel of a stocking mj mother was a wonderful needlewoman but i know that what sewing i can do now is because of what i learnt at school and it was always our form teacher who taught us ah perhaps that last sentence opens up a new angle where now would you find teachers to teach sewing imagine any board of trustees interviewing hundreds of applicants and having to put qury can you sew perhaps the girls might even have to bing samples of their work if such a qualification were at present necessary it wculd at any rate reduce the number of sultablt applicants and public school inspec tors what of them would they also need a speciar course in the theory of plain nedlework as part of their quali fication i dont remember any inspec tion during my school days but i do remember that every teacher i ever had was well qualified to instruct her class in every kind of elementary sewing so heres hoping that someone some time will revolutionize the rudiments of education and wake up to the fact that practical work is of vital necessity to our boys and girls and might develop talents which would otherwise lie dormant simple sewing classes in public school might be followed by dressmaking classes in high school taught by a visit ing teacher just as music is now taught in some public schools if older girls knew how to mend and make it would lighten ths work of many a busy mother ease the financial strain oi young mar ried cupes and lessen the burden of widowed fathers young girls now dress far more than th y ued to but jet very few of them can make or mend they in turn will marry and what chance will their chil dren have with needle and thread if the schools wnt teach them sewing and their mohrs cant- is it true we are living in an advanced education i wonder slats
