As to the wisdom of thus cutting short his sentence, we are not in a position to judge. But now .that he is free he ought to be given a chance to become a good "citizen. The kindest thing that can be done will be to leave him in the hands of his friends. He cannot make good 80 long as the papers continue to brand him with the record of his crime. Either we should accept the for- giving attitude of the Government, and cease to pub- lish his record, or else he should be kept in safety for his own good. The prgss can easily ruin Ryan's chances of bet- terment by too much publicity. Municipal Responsibility for "Relief." Relief administration was given back to the Ontario cities when Premier Hepburn last night announced a relief shake-up which turns Provincial relief policies upside down. Provincial supplies of money which have been carrying the heavy end of the relief load are entirely re-aligned. Definite max- imums will drastically cut these supplies in many cities. Demobilization of the Provincial relief organization and re- alignment of these grants is scheduled to save the Treasury from $750,000 to $1,000,000 per month. ~The Premier laid down the new relief policy last night in the following statement: bi 8 «1, The government proposes to give back the entire admini- stration of relief to the municipalities. * . 2. No more than '$5 per person on relief per month is to be paid in monthly lump sums to cities now solvent and carrying a share of their relief load. (Toronto, Hamilton, etc.) 3. No more than $7.60 per person on relief per month will be paid olit in the supervised centres lately receiving 100 per cent. relief from the Province. (Windsor, the Toronto suburbs, etc.) 4. The Ontario Department of Welfare (relief) is to be re- duced to a shell, with the municipal machines running relief, "Here's the alimony and you raise the children", the Premier phrased the new relationship between his Governrment and the municipalities. The man closest to the taxes who is most careful about spending the money, he said, as he explained why he was transferring administration back to the cities. \ ; . The Premier lashed at excessive paternalism with the state- ment that paternalism could reach a point where it damaged the people. : fis : ; September 1 is the date set for the re-apportionment of relief in a shed next to = goverment won the case supplies. : Y STA Y, AUGUST 1st, 1935 $1.50 per year in advance Watch your label; it tells when § cents single copy yous subscription expires. i DISTRICT NEWS Mrs. Fred Fallis, of the Fallis Line near Cavan, was almost instantly killed Thursday, July 26th, when she was gored by a heifer which she was leading to the barn, The fatality oc- curred at seven o'clock in the evening, the woman dying five minutes after the arrival of Dr, J.

The program con- sisted of the President's address, George N.

TARIO WILL BE LIGHTER The report of the fruit department of the Federal Department of Agri- culture gives a comprehensive review of the conditions oof the fruit crop in Eastern Ontario according to pre- sent prospects. The general outlook is that the crop in most cases' will be lighter than it was last year, and in some sections, particularly around Port Hope, the tree mortality. has been particularly heavy. In Eastern Ontario, apple scab is quite prevalent on foliage 'and fruit, due to rain. Early varieties of apples, such McIntosh, Snows, Wealthy, Wolf River, Alexander and Baxters promise a good crop, perhaps 20 to 25 per cent heavier than last year. Late varieties such as Spys, Baldwins, Ben Davis, Starks, Pippin, R. I. Greening and Russets have set.very patchy. Raspberries "look exceptionally well and a large crop is assured. Cherries very light from Toronto East, Peaches and grapes have a good set with prospects of a good erop. Lloyd Clarke, after|. Buck" won't do. Something more than "passing the buck" will have to be done with the unemployment problem. Premier Hepburn has decided that the Pro- vince of Ontario can no longer sup- port these people, and turns the pro- blem over to the municipalities. There are two classes of unemploy- ed--local, and homeless. For the local unemployed there is some degree of justice in requiring the munici- palities to be responsible. For the homeless wanderer there can be no valid reason given for municipal re- sponsibility. Either the Province or the Federal Government should be re- sponsible for those who have no home. . It is- certain that much more drastic steps must be taken to control the growing unemployment problem in a business like manner. Work is essential to good citizenship, and our. present army of wanderers is a menace to public welfare. : Four steps should be taken to solve the problem: 1. Registration. Any person re- ceiving public aid should be registered, no matter whether the relief be local or transient, 2. Apportioning responsibility. Every person seeking relief should be- long somewhere. It may be neces- sary to adopt a municipal quota sys- tem. 3. Control of those obtaining re- lief. For the time being those cap able of work should become the em- ployes of the municipality or othe: corporate body which supports them. Thousands of people are putting in regular hours of service for very small wages; barely enough to keep body and soul together. The fact that a person finds it necessary to "go on relief" should not relieve him of the necessity for work. 4. Homeless transients should he cared for by the Province or the Do- minion. If the workers are to continue tb support the growing classes of thdse who are unemployed or incapable, some strong measures' must be taken to control the -situation or we shall be overwhelmed. In case of war we may destroy. Why not gain some control in the interests of construc- tion? MYRTLE Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Hoar and family, Toronto, visited Mrs. Hoar's father Mr. W. S. Park recently. Mr. Orland Hall and Misses Doro- thy and Eileen Hall, of Atherley spent Sunday with their grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Chisholm. Harvesting operations are now in full swing.

Rev, Mr. Honey and family are leaving this week for their vacation in the east. During the month of August, in his absence, the Quarterly Board have decided to withdraw the services, and the Sunday School ses- sions have also been cancelled for the next four Sabaths.
