APRIL 25tb, 1935 A Worthy Citizen Passes In the sudden passing on Good Friday af W. E Groves, Bowmranville lost a sterling Christian gentle- man and a worthy citizen. Well known in horticul- tural circies throughout Canada and the United States, Mr. Groves wa- recognized as an authoritv on such nmatters, and it was not long ago that lie waý linored in the appoinbment as the cniy director of the Intelnationa1 Peace Garden in Eastein Canada. He i.. a former pre-ident of the Canadian Florîste and Gardeners' Assccsation, and had held executive offices in practically every Canadian and Inter- nation.al floriýts and horticultut ai oganiz-etion. But to Bowmvnanville people bis pasSing wvili be re- gretted because of bis citizenship and influence for good in this towvn. Coming herý only four years ago, he nmade a wde circle of friends. By his kindly and generous acts and bis genial and unaffected mani- ner be had engrabiabed himself into the bearts of both old and yaung. He -was a great lover of child- ren. He ivas one of bhe most beloved memibers of the Rotary Club, an ardent wvorker and a meneber of the Board of Stewards of St. Paul's United Church, a ready and willing worker in the Horicutural Soc- iety and the Business Mens Association. Whatever worthwbile community efforts hie took part in hE gave af bis test. To those of us who knew bine personally there is a vcry distinct feeling of a loss that will be long felt.

National Government Idea The proposai for a National gavernment for Can- ada, presented recently in Oshawa by a graup ai Taronto men, in principle is good, says bbc Oshawa Times. We agree with the opinions ai this paper, boa, when it says further: For some years, we have pub farward the suggestion in these clumns tbat bbc pasition af Canada was such as ta warranet aIl political parties coming bogetteer in a genuine effort ta bring bbc test brains of tbbcocuntry to bear an its problems. We bave 0f ben expressed regret that interest in bhc wlfarc of a palitical Party scemed ta oubweigb îintercst in bbc welfarc af tbbcocuntry.

Indced. lb migbî te said that those mwho are austantiing in bbc business worlti ai bbc country bave remaineti re- ligiously alaof from plitical activities. We are, therefore, quite sympatteetic e thie idea ai a National governiment ta ide bbc country tbrougb a dîffîcuit period.

Farmers Are Party to Vicious Circle One economic factor that bbc paýt four years bave brought home is that wben the consutmer demands lower Priceti merchandice, bbc producer sufiers.

Lord Baden-Powell Visits Canada That greatest Boy Scout of them al. Lord Baden-Powell, is in Canada. He is the founder of the Scout movement and wherever he goes he ie honored by Boy Scouts, Scoutmasters and everybody else. There are thousands of Canadians who re- member the great. stand Lord Baden-Powell made at Mafking in South Africa during the Boer War of 1899-1901. For weeks his littie garrison was be- sieged and there were times w hen it appeared as though he would have to surrender ta save bis men. His indomitable fighting, spirit. bis- leadership and organizing ability finally won the day. Eventually it. was Canadian troops whicb broke through and brought relief. Lord Baden-Powell started the Boy Scout move- ment immediately ai ter the Boer War. It bas spread ail over the world, and appeals to boys and young manhood as being wortb while. Its ideals are of the higbest order, and from its ranks have corne men wbo occupy high places in the business, indust- rial, professional and poitical lii e. This is Boy1 Scout year in Canada, and the arrivai of Baden- Powell following so close upon the conclusion of a Dominion wide successi ut financiat and membersbip campaign hIil add fresb impetus to the movement here. Canada is proud to welcome this great leader of boys, who, though well advanced in years, is still a boy among boys.
