In this sense the 11ui'.er achera Lae es ery ri sht to appear be - fore the Hepburn Covo*rni-meit andi present the-ir mase.

Canada l-as no u-e .and noa ploce for coiniunis's. while it l:as a place at d. e'.*ery sý-,rpathy for the v.ork- in g man in trouboe. It ý.. unic .r:unaiýte that thc %wark- iri. ýinen permil ti type of asi: cicr ta loin their rank ' ad demiand rghts that are uinreasana b and im:..cosible for the ou t taprcivk!e. In the firat 1place they demnand that the relief ai- lov-a.'we be increased 50', uvcr that reccmrnended in the Camupbell report. In Eoxrnanvle, M-ere no one ha.c suliered unduly. the relief allowances have been sorievvha, under thase rrcammonded in ibis report. To expcet that 50'- be added ta t- .is, is practîcally le. dernand that the unemployed be kept i,ni luxury. We doubo whelher any member of the unemployed in Bo-wmranvîille ever expected luxuries. They were entitled, and we beLieve they reeeived enough te keep bady and saut together. and in the main tbey were thankful for it. Then there is the demand for non-contributory unemployment insurance. As we have pointed out. before there is a great need in Canada for u4nem- ployment insurance after the style by which it is ad- ministered in the Old Land. But ta expect it to be non-contributory is expecting a little too mucli. There are few working mens Who have jobs today who would not be willing to psy a smLall sumn each week from their earnings ta put with a like suna contributed by tbeir employers, ta provde a fair living for themn wben unemploymrent becomes their lot. In this mars- ner the governLmeýnt is continually receivirsg f rom those workers, weekly sums ta help keep those who are net warking, and every worker feels secure in the knowledge that when he gets out o! work, he lias provided for bimself without charity. One in- sures their if e ta provide an incarne for their family after death, and j,, the same way. one insures them- self against unemploymient sa that an inccme is Provided when work is scarce. Had the gavernmnent carried out ibis plan many Years ago ît wauld have had several millions of dol-i lars as a nucleus for ils relief work. These are but two of the dema.ndi*made by the hunger marchers. There are a dozen just as absurd demnands made off the government that could flot possiblY be f ulflled- If the towrs had given a granti and provided foad and billets for t:-ese marchers it wculd have been encouragi,n1g an agitation whioh la flot in the best interesîs of the cauntry, Every Child Should Learn ta Swim. in cobaurg. tLe Rotary Club-is, carryiug on a splen- did wvork, whlich so-me organization in Bowmanville Might well take up.

Paved Highway, Orono to Lindsay, Not Needed. The Pontypool correspondent to the Orono News suggests that under the new government the new highway between Oi'ono anct Lindsa.y, should be early construcled. one of the several things that defeated the Hen- ry Government was the huge expenditures it made. Yet as soon as a new government gels î,nta pcwer those wvho were critical of so-called governmental waste of rnoney are now suggesting further waste. There is no apparent necd for a highway f rom Ororno ta L4,tnd.say. There are now several ways of reaoýh- ing Lindsay. and over exceplionally good rarids. At orne end of the proposed highway is Newcastle, and bot ween it and Lindsay is Orona. Pontypcol an.d other very small centres. The populatiým or îrafic invjýved does not warrant such an expenze. nor is there any public demand fer such a highway. Gcvernnments anci Caunty Councils have spent mil- lic,n-i in paved highways and through the depression the weight of this debt has be2n a scre trial with the people. Pavements are a splendid thing and an at- traction tao tourists but the country, we think. has at las' learned ta spend within ils means. Il is to be hocud that Mr. Bragg will ;nDt urge this unmecessary exposne on the province, espccially at. a lime when the governnment is endeavouring- to bring rxpenditures clown ta a reasonable level. Canadian Club Widen Program. At a reccnt ccnference off the AsSociation off Car.- ad:a,.n Clubs in Toronto it wi deý-iced that the teach- ing- of t'îe dangers of war will be part af their plan for the furtherance off peace. The Associatýon wîll en- deavour tao mould public opiniion in the interests of peace. Radio, addre-ses on timely subjects will be included in the prazraîn. Whe.nl the Canadian Club first came into being more than 25 years ago, it was proposed to ta fost2or and encourage friendly and equitable relat- ionship.'i betwveen the two great, races o! the Dominion, ta assîst new Canadians ta become part of the lie af the Dominion, and ta encourage them teo become acquainted witb. Carsadian institutions and ta contri- bute ta the conmn~ weal, their particular racial cul- ture. Canada as a nation is presersted with perhaps the greatest opportunily o! any nation in the wvorld to et- fect a peaceful irternationalism that is s0 desired. Its cosmopo-litan population forces it to recognize more than any alLer, the fact that Canadas progress liez only in the peaceful relatiorxships o! ils own cilizens. The internaticn'al outloolc of ils ccsmopoltan pop. ulus is thus bound ta reflect ta the benefit of Canada and the world at large. The feeling will be thal if a score of races can gel along amicably tagether in Canada, then a score of nations cars gel along just as amicably when nol living together. While we are everlastingly thinking of ççarlike pre- paratians we are bound ta have the distrust o! other nations, but when others see our peacef ut intentions their warlike attitude is going ta simmer d3wrs to like pacifist ideals. and tLe peace o! the whloe world is nearer accomplishment. Laws Are Made To Break, It Seenis. iTbraugbout Ontario, ons public higbways outside af incarporated mrunicipalities jurisdiction, there is a speed limit cf 35 muiles per haur. In moat municipal- ities a 20 mile Lmit is imnpcsed in the interests o! safety tao hildren. There is no doubt that bath these iaws are violated hucndreds off times every day. There are few, if! any car's on the highway taday that bave not travelledi avc-r t-e 9.5 mile limit. There is seldam a car passes through Bawmanville observes the 20 mile Elmii. The question then is wvhat is ta be done about Ibis matter, Shauld the law be amended ta meet public requirement.s or should il be enforced as it now stands on the statutes. It seemns quite apparent, that like prohibition, Ibis laiv îs eot a,,nd cannaI be enfarced. The remedy seems ta be an apen law stipulating thal car's muai be di* ven ai a safe sPeed, which oauld be arrived ai. according la the circuulstances. There are tixues wlien it is Postively dangerous ta idle along tlie bighway aI 20 mies per haur, and likewise there are trnes wben a speed af 50 or 60 miles per bour canIo be lolerated. The qUtsian boils down la oue basic fact. Autom- obiles are madle and advertiLsed to do speeds up ta 80 miles Pe-r Lour. Are mauufacîurers la bc farced to miake cars that wvill flot exceed the stiPulated rate o! sP,'ed or are our laws 10 be macle more reasonable. 01a clear higbway in ligbt traffic there is flot tLe sl'ghlest danger lu travelling along ai 45 or 50 miles Per haur, 1)1oviding îLhe driver La alert to bis task.
