‘H both houses of parliament in session there is a lot of political propaganda about. Talk is ; weak. Action is needed. But before you can get wetion you must have a clear definite plan to work _ tipon. Oppositions to the government are doing their gm to place the policies and actions of those in . power in as bad a light as possible. Issues are raised :&‘“ should he passed ‘without comment because they _ mte in the best interest of the people. Yet you find _ hours of time wasted by members of the houses trying %0 justify their position. Look over the records and r the speeches and you will understand how hard _§t is to move and secure action. The business of the eountry is held up. The whole responsibility is laid at. the door of those in power. It ought to be laid at the door of the electors. They are the persons who are resâ€" | pongible. If every person who has the right to mark #he ballot would sit down and make a study of the situâ€" miion there would be very little left for the politician who ds fall of gromises but lacks constructive action. T is very fine built upon paper but when the prac application is presented the theory does not always stand. You find that the basis upon which the . argume ,mfifih,lotmnd. Thus the people who e . t the election of the representatives * mubt As#ime that responsibility. They r “hm“unt use their brain wetr to select who will give conâ€" itive, intelligent, leadership and thought. ‘Bhe talkâ€" machine is not needed in the seats of the mighty. Built upon sound practical experience is what is i,»‘EUCAflONAL facilities have been increased. 8 People are able to read and express themselves B . better toâ€"day than at anytime during the history _of man, Yet with all the facilities at hand, there is 8 b constructive achievements in the world in ratio to _ the education that has been supplied. People have the â€" @ducation and ‘development, but few use the talents to ; good advantage. You will find that the larger percentâ€" . fige of the students leaving the secondary educational _ #ystem do not become proficient in any line. It takes _ another three or four years for these men and women _ to become placed or established. In the scramble, many _ Of them fall by the wayside and are never heard of, . It would seem that too much time is spent in teaching _ theory and fundaméentals In this the mind is taught _ to follow rules and set formulas. They train the mind _ to do that which is already worked out for them. When _ %hey go out into the world they find it difficult to reaâ€" _ #on out the matter or think through the plan. As a reâ€" Sult, instead of being in the forefront, they are being lead by others. Surely it is high time that the people @hould be taught to think for themselves. With all the _facilities to hand, toâ€"day, there is no reason why some Of the wonderful contributions should be made to the universe. With all‘the knowledge, does it not seem n ige that man has not as yet found the way out of present crisis? People sit in conferences and talk get no place. People are swayed by the last speaker. People follow the voice of the press. Very few people stop and think out the details. It is high #ime that the people who are administrating educational matters should make a study of the question and find how it is possible to stimulate more brain action. How €an the people be induced to think more for themselves‘ It will mean a lot to humanity when the people will stand on their feet and give expression to original f NE(T Wednesday will be the opening of a season filled with opportunity. It will start the period when all citizens are called to stop and make a ehack up on their personal ideals of life. It will be a time when many of the churches will make a direct apâ€" ‘peal to the people to attend to the most important _ matters of life. Wednesday is the first day of the lenâ€" tem season. Success in life depends upon holding a .stzong control over every thought, word or action. The _ persan who can, under all conditions, maintain an absoâ€" _Bute control of the mind, the tongue, and every member _ of the body, will succeed in life and lead others. This control, so essential can only be acquired by constant _ practise of self discipline. The lenten season is the perâ€" ?‘ when men and women are making a real effort to Sevelope this control. It is a season of great opporâ€" tunity and one that should be utilized by the people. In fact it is a feature that every church leader should make some effort to present to the people. ‘Solution of #he social problems of the day can be soived if the people learn to control their desires and put into pracâ€" tise the laws of God. This lenten season is a great opâ€" portunity for men and women to find out the true purâ€" pose of life.

If they will continue to bring prices equal to those now obtainable they will be entitled to "the best room in the house." An advance from 8 cents to 10 cents in a few months is something new in Canada. In the "great country to the South," with its N.R.A. and 125,000,000 people the price remains ay 8% and 4 cents, And yet Mr. King says take down Ahestariéf dence and let the American hags come in, _ _ THE majority of young people of the present genâ€" eration, if asked anything about the political afâ€" fairs, would be unable to give butâ€"a haphazard answer. Little is known regarding the leaders in the country‘s national life by the young people, and judging by their attitude they care less. The lack of interest may be attributed to the common belief that politics is for oldsters, who know all the tricks. However, it is the duty of every citizen, young or old, to take an active interest in the affairs of their municipality, ‘county, province. and Dominion governments, and this is the only manner in which politics may be kept free from the manipulations of unworthy officeâ€"holders. The young people of today are the electors of the country tomorrow, and they should prepare now for the time when they will exercise their franchise by getting an insight into the workings of the government, what are the great issues of the day and how they are being handled, In this way intelligent voting will ensue, and Canada will be governed efficiently and well. It is a young person‘s duty to his country and all young people should begin at once to study the government of their own country, and the administration of affairs in which they will in the future take a very definite part. There are persons who are greatly concerned about a Canadian Flag. Canada has a flagâ€"the Union Jack. The majority of Canadians still sing, "The flag that braved a thousand years is good enough for me." Now that the birthday cake has arrived, Toronto is &ll wet for it‘s 100th anniversary party. Just a few details are left to arrange, for example: housing visitors, preparing publicity, and procuring enterâ€" to continue Thy loving ing scarcity unto us, tha kindness unto us, that our our land may yield u land may yield us her ever less of her fruits o fruits of increase, to Thy _ increase, to Thy glory an glory and our comfort. our discomfort. Mr. Bennett referre\h.o the matter as follows: "I did not think Xesterday that the right honâ€" orable gentleman did himself justice when he endeavored bo,parod{oa well known grayer from the Anglican prt?'er ok. I did not think so, and I do not now. pon reflection I cannot but think that the right hon. gentleman will feel he has not done justice to himself and to the high position he occupies when in cold tyi)e, he reviews his effort to burlesque, parody and place on Hansard a very serious prayer. I say it came as near an approach to blaa]s:emy as I have ever heard in this House of Commons." The leader of a great party must be hard pressed when he resorts to such humbug. The wheat exporting nations of the world, after much discussion and investiâ€" gation, decided upon a course which it is believed will increase the price of wheat to the farmer. This action Mr. King denounces. Not many persons will conclude that his judgment is more valuable than that of the representatives of the nations that entered into the agreement. N a four and a quarter hour speech Hon. Mackenzie I King cowid find nothing to commend. _ He deâ€" nounced every act of the government and even declared that conditions in Canada are worse today than in 1931. ‘Condemning the wheat agreement which was entered into at the request of the governments of the three western provinces, he said it was a policy of scarcity instead of a policy of abundance, and suggestâ€" ed that the prayer "For Plenty" from the book of Comâ€" mon Prayer should be changed. Below are the words from the prayer book, and as Mr. King says, the govâ€" ernment should change it: O most merciful Father, Who of Thy â€" gracious goodness has heard the devout prayers of Thy Church, and turned our dearth and scarcity into cheapness and plenty; we give Thee hulngle t{anks Under the present system in force in Ontario, proâ€" gress has been made. Look over the returns from the government sale of liquor and you find that there has been a decided decrease. Look back on the days when the bar was running and make your comparisons. Look at those centres where they do permit the sale of wine and beer and what do you find? Conditions are not as good as they are here in Ontario. Who is benefited by the increased facilities to buy the wine and beer? Is it not an effort to increase sales? Who benefits by the increased sale? It is certain the man on the street and the wife at home will not. The present law has veen very effective and those in power will be well adâ€" vised to legve it as it is. Thousands of people never think of going near a liquor store toâ€"day. With wines and beer sold anywhere, it would mean many of these people would find it very easy and convenient to slip in for the odd drink. It is the odd drink that does the harm. If you place restrictions you will find some who are keen to get the stuff but it soon wears off as shown in the government returns.. Under the present law, there will be less and less liquor consumed each year. These columns advocate a tightening up of the law so that liquor can be had but making it hard to secure. In these columns you will find those things which are for the benefit of the community advocated strongly at all times. or PEOPLEhveb-uuhl‘vmhuntouyu the question that is talked about as one of the issues in the present sitting of the Ontario parliaâ€" ment. They want to know the position of the paper in reference to the proposed legislation regarding the sale of wine and beer. Well, as yet, there has been nothing definite presented to write about. These columns have always been on the side of temperance in the true sense of the word. You cannot legisiate people to stop drinkâ€" ing. The results of drinking has been detrimental to every nation on the face of the earth and down through all the ages. That is a statement that is known and general. uttered is being analysed ‘ghd |prery nctiqn ‘ i will be here soon and it be a time for the people to express their views. Read the detail and read both sides for full information.
