"There is a growing doubt, especially among our youth ,that we can go on supporting this ridiculous overlapping of government. Surely something must be 'rotten in Denmark' when twenty cabinet ministers can control 45,000,000 people in Britain and we need over 100 to direct the affairs of less than a quarter of that papulation", Colonel Drew declared.

The burden is be- coming unnecessarily great. . In addition to being stripped of all our extra clothing, oc- casional quarters, and odd meals, the taxpayer is finding a regular and growing assessment for "relief". This is largely due to the elaborate system that has been developed throughout the country to deal with this problem; a system that seems to take little notice, of local conditions, and which in itself becomes a burden. Since pioneer days Canadians have cared for their less for- tunate brothers and sisters, and Canadian charity and hospitality, (especially in rural districts) became noted. Local distress was a local obligation, and that obligation was met in fine spirit. Real destitution was rare. To-day a different spirit has grown up among us. Poverty is "none of our business." "Let the Government look after the trouble." The result has been bad in two respects--our kindly personal interest in folk has been spoiled; and we are daily con- {fronted with requests or demands from strangers who may or may not be in need. The whole matter of "relief" should again become local, Wanderers should be registered and assigned to municipalities in proportion to population and assessment. Those receiving "relief" should be required to give reasonable returns in labor for value received. Definite steps should be taken to provide employment for those out:of work, ' It is a dangerous idea to insist that the taxpayer must assume a burden of standardized living for the unemployed, when he fre- quently finds it difficult to maintain that standard in his own life, in spite of the fact that he works constantly and exercises much 1 had Yécently read "The Years Are So Who has "Relief?" every detail of the Coronation ceremony next May, will be avail-; economy, Our Wihrary fo NAA TRILL 2L80LL3L TERRILL 23838384 $2 232383228, ~ 22 Port Perry has a good Public Lib- rary. It is a beautiful building, hap- pily situated, and housing an inter- esting and useful collection of books. _ There is some good mental food in that library for any member of our community=--rich or poor, young or old, - The children have been particularly well remembered in two ways. They have a corner to - themselves with books suited to. their stage in life, and they have a story hour. : This latter feature is very popular with the young children. Twenty-six 'of them turned out last Saturday to be entertained by Mrs. Bentley. They had a royal good time. It is a great idea to help them to become acquaint- ed with the famous stories of liter- ature. Any child who really learns to love good books is on the road to hap. py life--happier at least than life good books give, : That children's corner in the Public Library is quite wanderful in Its way. The chairs and table are like the hooks --they fit, There is a very fine child's dictionary, a set of "The Book of Knowledge',"" many picture books and ! fairy' stories, with the "Land of 0z" !'in the foreground, Some grown folk whose children have, left the childhood stage might find something of value to contribute to that corner, which cannot be too well furnished if we wish to give our children a proper mental start in life. That adults are finding Port Perry Public Library of value is shown by the fact that the Library 'has about 700 book borrowers, and that the an- many thousands. These books show a fine slection. Visitors from the city remark upon th fact that the selection of books . keeps abreast of the times. The book ' selecting committee' (the whole Lib- rary Board) has done good work. Here is another place where book {lovers can do 'a good turn. This is "particularly true of those folk who keep their book shelves well stocked with readable literature.

SEAGRAVE /- Remembrance Day was fittingly ob- served in our community last week. The Young People's meeting on Tues- | day "evening . was quite interesting. One of our war veterans was asked to give a memory trip of some twenty years ago. Mr. Joe Grantham sang a solo "Dear Old Pal of Mine". On Wednesday afternoon the pupils of the public school, with their teacher Miss A. Frise, gave an excellent con- cert-in the school room of the church, which was open to the public. The program was opened with quiet music by the Sunday School Orchestra. Recitations, songs and a tableau were given by the pupils and an interesting talk on "Armistice" was given by Mr. R. Scott. On Thursday afternoon the Wom- en's Association held their November meeting at the home of our president Mrs. J. Shunk. Mrs. Bruce took charge of the meeting and called the meeting to order with two minutes of silence. The hymns used were "O God Our Help in Ages Past" and "Faith of Our Fathers". Mrs. Flin- dall had charge of the devotional period. Mrs. Bruce read a short tract on "The Good Black Doctor".

Mission Band was held as usual at the Parsonage on Monday evening with a splendid attendance. Each child came with a song or story on Temperance. Murs, Flindall told the children a very interesting story, On Friday evening a large number of the people in the community gathered in the Sunday School room to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs, Bre- din, George, Peace and Bill ere they left for their new work and home in Orangeville. Mr, and Mrs, Bredin and family have spent several years in our midst, always ready and willing to help in any work which they found to do and so the people gathered to show their appreciation. The evening was filled with community singing (led by Mr. A. Cameron of Sonya), impromptu speeches, solos and read- ings. To George who has been a faithful assistant in our Sunday School orchestra as well as a very pleasing and obliging person with whom to deal, Mr. R. Scott read the following address: ' Dear George: Recently we learned with regret that you were going to leave our midst. . We did not want you to leave us unless we were able to tell you how much we have enjoyed your fellowship and neighborliness to all of us.

George in a few words expressed his appreciation of. patron- age and kindness shown him and the pleasure derived from his associations here.
