VOL. 55 ; NO. 52 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, 1936 W. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietors U.S. Goods Exemption Causes House Debate It has been a week of conferences and of much speaking, outside of Par- liament, but which, directly or in- directly affects the government of Canada. The attendance in the Com- mons was small due to numbers at- tending the Conservative Convention in Toronto, which chose our neighbor, Earl Rowe as leader, and the Young Liberal Convention in the Chateau Laurier. Then, too, the League of Nations Society was holding its an- nual meeting, which has become one of the intellectual meets of the year «nd the Canadian Institute of Inter- national affairs convened in the Cap- ital City just previously to the League meeting. The double events brought Professors from leading universities across Canada. ;, hands of a paroled convict is a serious matter. We feel a collective res- ponsibility for his death. A strong reaction to the event is showing itself. Some commentators say that paroles should not be grant- ed, that the whole system should be tightened, making punishment more severe; others that this tragic inci- dent shows all the more clearly how necessary is an intensive study of our penal methods in general, and a pro- longed study by psychiatrists of pris- oners before parole indeed before the release of any prisoner, in particular. A letter which came to my desk states: "I wish to let you know of my disapproval of your actions in press- ing so hard for the parole of Red Ryan." May I say I never either dir- ectly or indirectly brought influence to bear toward having Ryan released, though I, with many other people, be- lieved him to be a thoroughly re- formed convict. I met him on two occasions, first a year ago last Feb- Since the leader of the Conservative , ruary, when he was introduced to me Party will, in the natural course of , in the Kingston Penitentiary by War May events, some day be Prime Min- ister of Ontario, the attitude and out- den Allen, and again at the funeral of Harry Anderson just a few weeks look of the person chosen is of per- / ibefore his last crime was committed, sonal interest to each of us. It is, 11 On both occasions I was struck by his think, encouraging that the leader chosen is from a county, not a city. Since a city is, in its nature, a con- centration of activities it is easier for rt to bring pressure to bear on gov- ernments which results in over-at- tention to the great urban centres, with a corresponding neglect of the towns and the country-side. Mr. Rowe, like Mr. Hepburn, has a thor- ough knowledge of agricultural and a love for country life. In addition Mr. Rowe has an appealing person- ality, ability and considerable vision. A bright spot in a dullish week's debate was the discussion of the $100 dollars exemption on goods brought in by Canadians returning from any country, provided they have been forty-eight hours out of Canada. Ar- ticles purchased must be for personal use; they must be brought back by the owner, not shipped, though a motor car radio may be entered in the car of the owner. The number of cigar- ettes carried by a returning Canadian cannot exceed two hundred, nor the number of cigars fifty. A quart of liquor is allowable under Federal law, but according to the law of the Prov- ince its entry is illegal, which means the purchase of it is liable to a fine appearance and demeanour; that he was not as he seemed is now clear. To what extent his dual personality was the result of imprisonment in early youth .we cannot know, but a man who kept his sanity through and after eighteen months imprisonment in "the hole" had remarkable strength of some sort, though unfortunately it was turned to anti-social behaviour.

Singhampton Royals Win From Maxwell Singhampton Royals squeezed out a 20 â€" 16 win over Maxwell in the first home game of the 1936 league series here on Thursday, May 28. A large crowd of shivering fans saw the Singhampton Royals collect 13 runs in the first 3 innings with the score then at 13 â€" 5 and then watched Ted Bushell do his stuff in the pitch- ers box, with the dauntless Harold Mills catching, bringing the score to a tie of 16â€"16 at the end of thr Local Nurses Are Among Graduates Graduation exercises of the Grace and Western -divisions of Toronto Western hospital were held in Con- vocation Hall on Monday. Among the graduates we notice two Ceylon girls, Sadie C. Carson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Carson and Almeda M. Hincks, daughter of Mr. David Hincks and former attendants of Flesherton High School. Sadie was awarded the staff silver medal and Women's aux- iliary prize for second highest stand- ing in examinations, while Almeda was winner of the E. B. Wood schol- arship for one year's post graduate work, department of public health, University of Toronto. Miss Myrtle E. Whewell of Griffen, Sask., niece of Mrs. J. P. Ottewell of town, was also listed among the graduates. Con- gi-atulations are extended to these young ladies in the excellent results from their three years training for the nursing profession. J. A. Richards New Division Court Clerk members, feared that the privilege of duty-free goods entering Canada to the possible value of $100 per per- son, once in four months, would be very injurious to merchants in Can- ada and to Canadian business general- ly. To him and to the House, Mr. Ilsley, Minister of National Revenue, gave a statement covering the number of Canadian cars entering United States at Fort Erie for the May 24th holiday. 3,200 Canadian cars entered U. S. A. on May 34th and of this number, 465 persons on returning to Canada entered goods under the 1100 exemption clause. Mr. Ilsley esti- mated people to a car and thought that the number bringing goods in duty free was not at all injurious. The military estimates met stubborn resistance from the C. C. F. group in the House. Mr. Grant MacNeil, a veteran of the Great War, and for some years secretary of the Great War Veterans Association, made a telling attack both on the amount of money spent and the inefficiency of present methods. During the de- pression we have, he said, spent $122 million on national deface and only $160 million on the unemployed. "I offer no apology to the Minister for begrudging every nickel that is taken from the starving unemployed and de- voted to the purpose of national de- fence, but I know that in Canada we do not enjoy a scheme of national de- fence which is commensurate with the million being spent, or shall I say squandered, for the purpose." Later he talked of the "Bow and arrow army teakettle navy." In commenting on aviation, Mr. MadNeil drew the attention of the House to the need of civil aviation in this country, on which we are spend- ing this year a bit better than one million dollars, as against the four million odd being voted for military aviation. The tragedy caused by "Red" Ryan, who was believed to be a thoroughly reformed convict, has shocked and saddened many people. That an of- ficer of the law, Constable Lewis of Samia should lose his life in the di.scharge of his duty, that his wife and children should be bereaved at the Hammil the youthful pitcher of the Royals made a wonderful showing, but the Maxwell boy's soon got on to him and batted them right and left. Bush- ell, Morrison and Seeley making 3 home runs. Darkness came on rath- er early and the Royals squeezed in another four runs, making the score 20â€"16 at the finish. The Royals are a very outstanding team, holding the cup last year, and a hard team to beat, but with a little more practice the Maxwell boys who are a new team in the league will give any team a hard battle, also give the fans a real kick in watching them play. Umpires Hec. McDonald and Bus. Radley. A letter from the Attorney Gen- eral's Department of the Ontario Gov- ernment was received on Saturday announcing the appointment of J. E. Richards of town to the position of Clerk of the Fifth Division Court of the County of Grey with office at Flesherton. Mr. Richards succeeds Mr. A. E. Bellamy, who has held the office for the past six years. Mr. Richards has had experience in Div- ision Court work, having assisted Mr. R. L. Stephens at Markdale for a couple of years. He is the fifth Clerk in the history of the Fifth Div- ision Court, the former occupants of the position being J. W. Armstrong A. S. VanDusen, both deceased, W. J. Bellamy and A. E. Bellamy. Want Picnic This Year Trucks To Gravel Roads In Osprey Tlie regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade was held Monday evening with a fair atendance of members. .'Vn invitation will again be sent to the Flesherton Old Boys' and Girls' Association to spend Civic Holiday, August 3rd, in Flesherton.

It will be remembered that "Buster" lost his right arm in a shooting accident last winter. He will be pleased to have you make him a call when in Fever- sham. Pallister â€" Crevier The Farm Poultry Stock Poultry is at last definitely recog- nized as one of the essential depart- ments of every up-to-date farm where a program of mixed farming is car- ried on. Not only is it recognized as a necessary department of farm work but more and more farmers are coming to i-ealize that for the capital investment and labor involved there are few if any department that givt as high returns. For the mixed farm general purpose breeds such as the Plymouth Rocks, which are good both for laying and for the production of market poultry, are recommended. A flock of a hundred such birds care- fully managed are returning to many a farmer a profit over cost of feea from $200 to $600 a year, which is something not to be disdained by even the most successful farmers. A wedding of interest to Maxwell and Singhampton people was solem- nized on Sunday, May 23rd, at the home of Rev. Arch. McNeill, Toronto, former pastor of the United Church, Maxwell, when Norma, only daughter of Mrs. Crevier, Singhampton and the late Mr. N.

Reeve McCauley had been in attendance at the County Council and motored down for the village council meeting. Those who appealed their assess- ment on the grounds that it was too high were the British-American Oil Co., which was raised ?675; W. S.

Walter's farm at Ravenna. Real devotion and attentiveness was manifested yesterday morning by this gander for his spouse, according to the witnesses of his, namely, Mrs. Walter and her son, who vouch for the absolute truth of the following scene: The gander became ppssessed of the idea that the goose who was perform- ing "setting" duties, was in need of a drink. So he picked up with his beak, an empty syrup pail that hap- pend to lie nearby, and strolled off to a creek 150 feet away. Here he dip- ped the pail into the water, half-fill- ing the can. Half-way back on the journey, the gander rested, picked up the pail again and finished the course. Reaching the goose he placed the pail down beside her, without spilling a drop of water. â€" IThornbury Review Herald.
