present re viewed over the years canada has much to be proud or on this birthday occasion not only has the the country grown and developed rapidly but its natural resources are still large perhaps it would be well on this birthday occa aion to take stock of canada s blessings and for the moment overlook some of the short comings which we are tempted in everyday life to magnify com- it y olim its minerals forests lands its fisheries manufactures and transportation its forms of government and administration of lusticc and its recdrd of achievement of the seventy one years and you arc bound to be proud that you arc a canadian and canada is your country friday is our country s birthday a day in which to enjoy our country and at seventy one we can look ahead to a brighter future and wirti o

there is also the report that the round up is to be extended to the bootleggers and lesser gambling promoters police are anxious to do their duty and backed by the attorney general s department there

of try try try aguin has been well exemplified jealous of others surcctui fcvciy community is better off when somebody succeeds and worse off when one fails states a pamphlet issued by the southam press entitled there s nothing like success thot is true in more than ono sense success always has a favorable effect upon a community a town of successful men is a good business town and in the same manner u to o b failures is a town to be avoided unfortunately as this pamphlet points out there is a tendency among some people to always discredit those who have made a success of life at the hack of this desiro to discredit is usually one thing jealousy the green eyed monster as this trait is usually dubbed is responsible for a great many evils and it is usually the hnsis upon which agitators work there are some people generally those lacking in ambition and initiative who will tell you that no man can be honest and accumulate a fortune this is neither a truth nor a half truth true some men have made fortunes through dishonest practices hu thir numbers are small the critic who is liiekingin some of the essentials thnt make for success nirns to dishonest and the unsuer for the reason some muke a success and others do noi it is ncilhcr a crime nor is it unfair for a person to make a siaeess of life even if that success brings wiih it the ueeumula in f monc boumunville statesman

turn uork will soon b undcrua again on this strip a proposal is going the rounds of counok that a tax be placed on women ai well as men it is suggested that all who earn ocr 100 a car hi luxcd we have often heard the subject approached and it doe seem onl fair that female workers who are earning amounts as large or cm larger than male workers should pay a tax at the present time all males ocr twent ont ears of age who pa no municipal tax in an othti form are assessed a poll tax which in acton amounts to 5 per year the proposal is to extend the same tax to apply to women in these das when women take such a prominent place in the industrial world there is reasonableness to the proposal in acton between 300 and 400 is collected each car and if thia xere extended to include women as well as men the amount would be doubled at least municipalities are in need of new sources of revenue and property seems to have about all it can stand hence the suggestion is being mad for legislation that will

put rural mail carriers on the same basis as citv letters carriers and have them appointed by the ciil service commis sion this would mean that the rural mail carriers would be paid two to three times
