Mr. Bennett in the five radio addresses _ igiven, Most that could be heard, in the press and on ;;MM was the question "is he sincere". This is an indieation of what is in the minds of the people at the M Those who have read the signs of the times areiconvinced that there must be a new social and ecomnom g:‘e brought about. None is more impressed with this fact than the Prime Minister himself. He has 3 ing & complete survey and study of the condiâ€" ‘tions in Canada and has been watching the working of 1 he various efforts put forth to this end in other countries.

Thus it :,_ s as if there will be a new alignment of leaders efore the general election. â€" _ Looking the matter straight in the face would this not ?AN *_fltlt action ?. At this time when there is need of wp should the leaders divide on party politics or h the leaders unite and give positive reform upon which a sound administration can be built? It is the j _ g on the street that the time is at hand when party fliations should be cast aside in order that the best men of the country should be enlisted in an effort to bring % & social order that will give a more equitable Gistributionâ€"of the worlds goods. Other countries have face the situation with arms and bioodshed. They have made progress but it is not the British method. If the leaders would unite for a strong efficient backing of the d Ak.stated generally by the Premier in his radio talks there will be no doubt as to the future. Canada Will be making history that the world will follow. Up to the present Canada through her advanced laws, legisâ€" and representatives abroad has given the lead in many social changes. With a strong effective body backâ€" 4 premier in his plans Canada can win the leading in the universe as a truly worthâ€"while place to live & It can only be brought about by the rank and file the politicians to see the necessity of them getting in behind the suggested legislation. d the past few years there has growh up } throughout Ontario a very strong and effective __..__ organization known as the Ontario Federation of ‘and School Clubs Inc. This organization with lubs in the various schools and collegiates in and around this city and in other centres has been the means of : ng & greater interest in school affairs. They have the meansâ€"of bringing into closer relationship the a and the school. ‘They have stimulated better eonditions for all concerned and brought about a wonderâ€" spirit for the school and its success. Such interest as been the means of developing the community spirit : own what can be accomplished by coâ€"operation. It s new to many and those now engaged in the work find it most helpful in dealing with their own children . HOME AND SCHOOL CLUBS CONTRIBUTING SINCERITY, NOT POLICY QUESTIONED _ NUMBER of young children have lost their lives Lh the past year when thoughtless parents left them alone in the house at night. Women‘s orâ€" are aroused over the obvious neglect which ’ in these tragedies.

A spirited discussion followed clearly indicated the prevalence of this habit it was felt that the enforcing of such a measure W impossible.

Then, a reciprocity agreement with other 8. WILSON, Manager ELVA V. PHILLIPS, Editor, de F THIS community is to become more prosperous there I must be created more business. Thousands of dollars are invested in the stores, equipment and stock. More money is invested in the property. Merchants are doing their utmost to secure the trade that a comâ€" munity like this is able to give. Yet they are handiâ€" capped because the people still desire to shop down town. They have been taught from childhood that the centre of all shopping efforts is down town. The big store has carefully placed before the young mind and the older one their merchandise, They have presented their inviâ€" tation in many attractive forms. ‘They have carefully drawn their customers from all over Canada by an aggressive campaign. As a result they have become the centre of merchandisers. If you permit this to continue what will be the outcome? Price spread investigations have placed before the public some very startling facts. These same big stores and merchant princes have been taking the life blood on the one hand from the manuâ€" facturer and killing as far as possible the small merchant on the other hand. This state of affairs has proven to be detrimental to the community enterprize and life. How can it be stopped you ask. It can soon be stopped if every person will give the local merchant a chance to serve him, Why pass it along to the other fellow ? Take hold yourself and make the effort. Plan to do your buyâ€" ing locally. Support the local merchant with your orders. It will mean the building up of the community life if every person here would stop and consider this question seriously. If you save ten cents on an article that you have bought down town, you have to pay that much and a lot more to support those who made the article. Think the matter out clearly and ask yourself if you are justified in passing by your fellow citizen who is here to serve and build up the community life. HE last session of the present parliament opened T today. The proceedings are anticipated with more than the ordinary interest. Immediately following prorogation a general election wil be held. The governâ€" ment will be able to announce improved conditions of trade, lessened unemployment, increased revenue and a more hopeful general outlook. But that which will make the session outstanding in the country‘s history will be the presentation, discussion and adoption of the policy of reform so widely proclaimed by the Prime Minister. There are four vacancies in the House of Commons and eight in the Senate. Death removed three Conâ€" servatives and one Liberal since the House last met. Liberals suggest that the vacancies thus created should be filled by election in order to give the constituencies the representation to which they are entitled. It is not probable that this will be done. An election in March or April and another in July or August is not considered necessary by people of the constituencies concerned. Reports are current to the effect that the Hon. Mackenzie King will seek to enforce an early dissolution on the plea that the government has lost the confidence of the country. To effect his purpose it is rumored that he will blaek legislation in every way in his power, and even seek to prevent the passage of the estimates. It is not probable, notwithstanding this boasting and threatening, that anything greatly out of the ordinary will transpire. Preâ€"sessional promises and prognosticaâ€" tions are the prerogatives of all oppositions. They genâ€" erally result in a few days‘ extravagant talk and are then forgotten. So, in all probability, will it be at this time. J(IET at the close of his address on Friday night Hon. _ R, B. Bennett stated that the carrying out of his policy of Reform would "foree inevitably a political realignment." This does not mean a new party. It merely anticipates the alliance of Liberals who favor such a policy with the Conservative party that is bring~ ing it into being. This occurred on three former ocâ€" casions. Liberals joined with Conservatives at Conâ€" federation in creating the Liberalâ€"Conservative party it is true, But when Sir John Macdonald introduced the National Policy many Liberals gave his polity support and in future allied themselves permanently with his party. In 1911 an equally large number of Liberals joined the Conservative party to oppose the measure of reciprocity favored by the Liberal government. Again in 1917 the Liberals as a party opposed the Conservative policy during the war, but thousands of former members of that party united with Conservatives in providing much needed assistance to the soldiers in the field. The expectation is that a similarâ€" movement of patriotic Libâ€" erals will take place at the present time. The policy of reform announced by Mr. Bennett is being widely enâ€" dorsed irrespective of formér political affiliation and will result in great gains to his party when the election is held. In the meantime every one is asking where is the Hon. Mackenzie King? What policy has he to offer? In spite of all the opposition Mr. King can develop, the government‘s program will be carried out in a constiâ€" tutional way, and when this is done the five years‘ record of the administration and the policy of reform will be submitted to the citizenship of the dominion and the verdict at the polls awaited with confidence by Mr. Benâ€" nett and his supporters.

He also states that the necessary legislation enabling the farmers of Ontario to take advantage of the dominion farm loans will be passed early in the sesâ€" sion. Both statements will be welâ€" comed by the farmers of Ontario. Hon. R. B. Bennett‘s five radio broadcasts were heard by a great perâ€" centage of the people in every provâ€" ince in the dominion, It is within the truth to state that no public adâ€" dresses created interest equal to that aroused by this announcement of the Premier‘s policy of Reform. The cost of the five broadcasts was $10,000, which was paid from Mr. Bennett‘s personal funds. _ Usually political leaders allow the country to pay the cost of their campaign activities. This was implied in a statement by Peel‘s Libéral mouthpiece last week, when they untruthfully stated that each broadcast cost $10,000. Workmen in our Canadian factories are beginning to realize that with a Liberal government in power at Otâ€" tawa, and tariffs» reduced as that party advocates, there is the certainâ€" ty that factory managements will find their orders decreasing and conseâ€" quently less work for the trained and skilled workmen. Since the Bennett government attained control at Otâ€" tawa, dozens of factories which were idle or only working part time now have the wheels running full time per day and in some cases two shifts of employes are required to keep up with the orders. Canada can very well get along without the critics and theoretical individuals, but can we do without our industries? The Bennett government, through its policies, has brought into being thrifty factories and the employment of many men and women who prior to 1930 were idle. Let us think this over, irrespecâ€" tive of our oid political leanings. Let our motto be: "Canada First and the Professional Politician Last."â€"Perth Expositor, Candidates will be nominated at an early date by Conservatives in preâ€" paration for the coming dominion elecâ€" tion. There will be as usual many new men in the field as all the parties will contest. most. of the constituâ€" encies, There is a great deal of speculation about the daté of the elecâ€" tion, but it is not likely to be held before the early fall, â€" "Liberalism," said Hon. R. B. Benâ€" nett on Friday night, "has no conâ€" structive policy, no policy of reform, It has two policies: First, a policy of masterly inactivity; second, the policy of frantic activity against any conâ€" structive policy of mine."
