Without their efforts there would be but scanty and unsatisfactory evidences of good will current in all walks of society this Christmas season. Every age meets its own needs, or is a failure. Christmas is a festival characterized by great spirituality because we are materially prosperous and can in our way emulate the joyous example of giving which marked the first Christmas. Speaking at Brockville, Premier Bennett informed the country/hat when the Price Spread Commission's report is received "the government will take such action as it is competent to take." He also asserted that any suggestion thc government was not behind the commission was false. The government had provided tlw funds for it to function and was standing behind it. other tae-ot" any upon-lam tho lumin- Joy ot giving. But Chi-tau in the approved union of gift. mpkinx. You know that, from the annealing” number of demand. made upon us all in the name of clarity. Nor can we doubt that the spirit uf Christmas, moves the mum: to the uncommon generosity. for "king ceases when responua are not comtttemturatq with the "fort put forth to gather in. Here is justification for the' "e'urnmereiiisintr" of Christmas; for the turning of thoughts in the blessed meson to the results of a year of business endeavour . . . dew much have I made? the business man mny inquire, in no sordid spirit. If he has made much, he may give much, and the greater the joy his giving will occasion. The more prosperous the country is as a whole, the larger the distribution to the less fortunate members of society. For them, that give, great indeed is the bless- ing, but nut less is it to those whose needs thus are met. Speaking at Halifax on Monday night Premier Ben- nett announced that an unemployment insurance bill will be introduced at the next session of parliament. There is little doubt that it will be of a contributory char- acter. The government, the employers, and those who desire to share in its benefits will all be required to pay into the fund which must be created and maintain- ed. During the years they hold office the Liberals, frequently expressed sympathy with such a mea- sure but did nothing. The action of the government will be followed with much interest by all classes. Thirty years ago the dtllowing item appeared in the Belelville Intelligencer: "A big red automobile is said to have scorched along Bridge Street at the rate of twelve miles an hour this morning. The authorities should take steps to stop this before serious consequences en- sue." Today a man who drives at 12 miles an hour is pinched for holding up the traffic. The world moves in more ways than one. The controllable expenditure of the dominion has been reduced by $82,000,000 since Premier Bennett assumed office in 1930. In the fiscal year 1930-31 the amount expended by the King government was $217,- 200,000. This was reduced under the Bennett gov- ernment to $132,700,000. Ordinary expenditures de- creased by $50,000.000 capital expenditure by about $22,000,000 the balance of the saving has been made in special expenditure and loans and advances. Econ- omy has been the watchword of the Bennett Govern- ment since it tank office. , A bit of news from Ridgeway,, Ont., in last night's Star must have bowled some readers over two or three times. It told how Mr. C. V. Butler, a farmer of Bertie township, having a hog to kill, hung his $850 diamond ring on a small projection on the chandelier. A fire broke out in his house; he rushed in, forgot his ring, rescued an ancient vietrola, but in the excitement for- got a modern electric radio. Next day in the ashes he found the ring, with the gold melted and the diamond safe and well in the ashes. Diamond ring, victrola, radio--ihat is farming like nowadays ?--Star. That the situation in the US. and probably in Canada too, is better at the end of 1934 is proved by facts as- sembled by Roger Babson. These set out: The average total of business in 1934 was 8 per cent. greater than in 1933. 310 companies increased; 255 resumed; 346 de- dared extra dividends in 1934. In 1934 farm prices jumped 27 per cent.; farm income rose 30 per cent.; farm buying power increased 17 per cent. over 1933. In 1934 retail sales were 13 per cent. better than in 1933. Condition are improved here in the Okanagan Valley, at least in some line. Movement of freight is ahead of any previous year at this time and this move- ment is one of the indices of business. Toronto Saturday Night:-"" has been part of our Pditnrial duty during recent weeks to visit a large number of public schools, mostly in districts where un- employment was extensive and a large proportion of the pupils camp from families which were receiving relief. The mental and physical health, and so far as we could observe, the happiness, of all the children in these schools was vastly superior to anything that We have observed in previous years. We do not mean that the most fortunate children were healthier and happier,' for there were always a lot of children who were just as healthy and happy as children could well be. We mean that the least healthy and the least happy children were vastly healthier and happier-so far at we could tell, and we considered all the avail- able sign. and our judgment was confirmed by all the more experienced teaehertr--than the same clan of children were before the depression, and were vastly nearer in health and happiness to the most fortunate children. Canada can never go bark, and we should not like Canada to ., back. tn the state of callous nexlect of the under-privileged child from which it required the IMO-M depression to awaken we.

Goods manufactured to- day require more labor, because of more advanced de- sign. Parts and finished goods, formerly purchased from other manufacturers, are now produced here; new lines have been added and more are employed in en- gineering and experimental work.

Our Annual Christmas Tree for the needy children ot the town will be held to-morrow, Saturday, Dec, 22nd in the Town Hall, an event which is being looked forward to by a good number of our little ones. Wouldn't this be a grand old world if all the demands and appeals were done away with, if we were able to devote every thing' we have and make, to our own needs? Or would it? If we were suddenly and mysteriously deprived of the power of giving; if we could still receive, but could not give, what would it be like? No more toys to children, no more birthday gifts and Christmas gifts to the triends we truly love, no more power to comfort the suffering we are fore. ed to look upon but cannot assuage.
