McCLINTOCK "PORT PERRY, ONT. | could 8 al their village, from Collier's Weekly, by William Gg a Shepherd ~~ We used to think of old age pensions as socialism. But now old age 'pensions are coming on this country, state by state, just Shit as rapidly as the good roads came after we really got started ; o first seized this old age pension plan from the socialists? It's a story that people of other countries couldn't understand be- cause they don't do things our way in any other place on the globe. Our land, as we all know, abounds in civic organizations. Most of us belong to something: Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Parent-Teach- ers, church clubs, political clubs, community clubs. Plenty of our fl | organizations get well organized and then are forced to look around for something helpful to do. "Service" they call it. Our intel ligentsia often laugh at this "service". . But our organizations get things done. Tne =f : 1 asked Governor Roosevelt whether there was any great need | in the state of New York for the old age pension. "It looks to me," said the governor, "as if almost every step in our industrial progress makes things harder, financially, for those over 65 or 70 years." "Why shouldn't people save for old age?" "Doesn't it occur to you that saving for old age may, many times, look like utter selfishness on the part of parents? It's easier to spend it for better health and higher education and other ad- vantages for your children." ; "It's ridiculous not to have old age pensions in the United States," a fact-equipped Eagle said to me. "Look at Canada. Their report for 1928 showed that 450 people, American born, who moved over into Canada, are receiving old age pensions there. We've found out that there's an old Japanese man in British Columbia who gets the pension. * We've traced down three Syrians and one Turk, a couple of Algerians, a Greek, a Chilean, a Latvian, whatever this is, and 285 Russians who are living on the Canadian pension. - You know how the Canadians hated the Germans during the war? Well, there are 173 Germans on Canadian old age pen- sions today; and 837 Austrians. Altogether there are about 35,000 old folks on the Canadian old age pension rolls. * "They figure in Canada that a fellow who works for 15 to 20 years and becomes a citizen has really helped to build up the country. That goes for women, too. It isn't civilized to let them suffer just because they can't work any more." It costs many millions to run our poorhouses, cruelly and in- adequately, they say. It was an incident that happened under his own view, in a poorhouse, that caused Magistrate Fred Hughes, of New York City, to become the Eagles' leader in the five-year-long fight for old age pensions in New York. "I was at a poorhouge one day when an old couple ¢ame in, as fine old people as you ever saw. They were asked a lot of ques- tions, and then a clerk said to the old man, ""You come with me, please. We'll go over to the men's side.' "'And you'll go over to the women's side,' they said to the little old woman, : "It was all done kindlily. But the kindest words would have been cruel. 'That old couple hadn't been apart one night in over 50 years, but now they had lost their right to be with each other. "I looked up their case. He was a farmer and they had raised three sons and sent them out into the world. But two sons died. An then the youngest son came home, sick, with tuberculosis. Dad and Mother helped him just as they had when he was a boy. The savings went for the sick son. Before the young man died even the furniture in the house was under a chattel mortgage. After the funeral--well, there wasn't anything for the two old folks to do but to go to the poorhouse. "You never say anyone as bewildered as those two old folks were. They just used to sit side by side, all day, hardly ever speaking. They seemed to be wondering, wondering--and think- ing. : "It killed them. One night the brave old fellow, sitting in his chair, just dropped his chin on his chest and died right there. They took the news over to Mother. : "Yes," she said quietly, 'I sensed he couldn't endure it. been waiting for him to go.' "Her four men that she had taken care of for so long wave finally tucked away, at last, for the long, long sleep. She died right there in her chair, that morning." One dollar a day is the avérage pension provided in these new state laws. With this they can board with relatives or friends. "It's funny how far old folk can make a dollar stretch," the Eagles tell you. "They don't need very much--just food and warmth and freedom in a room of their own." COMMUNITY FARMING Every little while somebody comes out with an idea that shall improve farming conditions. This time Sinclair Lewis has come forward with a plan that to many will seem quite fantastic. How- ever, the basic idea of co-operation in some form seems to be the We : only hope of improvement in a calling that will always suffer from certain drawbacks of isolation. The idea of Sinclair Lewis is to form a farming community with a central village, and co-operative use of machinery. He figures that, 300 farmers could operate 60,000 acres of land. They in the eentre of the property; have com- munity laundries, baking ovens, baths, stoves, schools, movies, 'doctor, dentist, creamery.' rs hs . He claims that manufacturers make this type of thing pay, that the farmers could make it pay, too. E has been tried out in pasts before Unfort 'any intelligent person can work out the details and and adapt hors 10 local conditions. The big problem would b secu co-operation for so alrge a sch an A Very Pretty Wedding. Two popular young eople of Port erry united in marriage. BROCK-JACKSON An interesting event took place at the United Church, Port Perry, on Monday evening, September 1st, 1930, at half past six o'clock, when Mar- guerite, daughter of Mr, and Mrs. George Jackson, became the bride of Mr. Arthur William Brock, son of Mr. 'and Mrs. Frederick W. Brock, of Port Perry. The bride entering the pret- tily decorated church on the arm of her father, looked charming, gowned in deep eggshell lace with matching gloves and shoes. Her veil, edged with chantilly lace, was arranged in cap style and caught with French | blossoms, and she carried a shower bouquet of ophelia roses with lily of the valley. The bridesmaid, Miss Marjorie Hen- derson, of Toronto, carrying a bouquet of Talisman roses, wore a pale apricot silk embroidered net dress, her dark brown mohair hat being trimmed with a large velvet bow and streamer, with gloves and shoes to match. Little Misses Helen Patricia Jackson, sister of the bride, and Helen Irene Ander- son, wearing pale yellow summer frocks with deep lace berthas and mohair hats of mauve and green and carrying old fashioned rosegays, were juvenile attendants--the former act- ing as veil guide. 3 The marriage was solemnized by Rev. Wesley Elliott, assisted by Rev. E. A, Tonkin, grandfather of the bride, and Rev. R. T. Richards. During the signing of the register, Miss Lucile Leask sang, "Love's Coro- nation", the wedding music being played by Mr. F. R. Beatty. The groom was supported by his twin brother Dr. John F. Brock, of Oshawa, and the ushers were Messrs. J, E. Jackson and Robert Harris. Following the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, Mrs. Jackson receiving in a gown of nile green georgette em- broidered with sequins and brilliants, and wearing a blonde hat with shoes and gloves to match and corsage of roses. - Mrs. Brock, mother of the groom, was attired in beige lace with matching hat and shoes and corsage bouquet of red roses. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brock left on an extended motor trip, the bride travelling in a dark brown silk suit. On their return they will reside in Port Perry. .

SOO ns Port Perry Fair Grounds Not for several years have condi- tions been so favorable for a good fair as they are this year. At con- siderable cost of money and work the equipment has been improved. Most of the exhibitors of cattle will re- member that the cattle stalls were in a bad way and were situated in a low muddy corner. These old stalls have been pulled down and the stalls have been rebuilt on the top of the hill near the barn. This action clears up a mucky cor- ner, and gives the exhibitors of cattle a service they require, In the building for small exhibits a transformation has ben effected. Proper tables have been built, and flower and fruit stands erected. An arrangement is being made for the special hanging of quilts, ete., and the management are sure that the ladies will be delighted with such improve- ments as have been made at the build- ing. As the years pass the improvements will be continued as fast as the pats ronage of the public will warrant. Exhibitors are specially asked to note that exhibits for the building must be in the building on Tuesday, the 16th by 6 p.m. It will be no use coming in on Wednesday morning with exhibits, for at 9 o'clock judging will commence and everything must be in place. There will be a night watch- man to look after things, and all ar- rangements are being made for a proper display of exhibits. en) (mien WON CONSOLATION PRIZES Messrs. W. M. Letcher, R.
