There are 27 inmates of Bruce Coun- ty House of Refuge who are drawing old age pensions of $20 per month. or this $17.50 is returned to the county treasurer for their support and $2.50 per month goes to each inmate. As these inmates are provided with food and clothing at the expense of the county, it is very likely that the county council of 1931 will give the keeper of the House of Refuge permission to in- vest the 32.50 per month due each in- mate, for whatever use they may direct. In Grey County the matter of pen- sions being paid to each member of the House of Refuge over 70 years, was discussed by the Pensions Committee with Dr. Jamieson. The Act does not provide what disposition shall be made of the balance due each pensioner but Dr. Jamieson’s suggestion is that each of such inmates should receive $2 a month for their personal use, the bal- ance to be assigned to the manager of the House of Refuge to pay for the pensioner’s keep.â€"Kincardine Review- Reporter.

A new scheme to get money is re- ported in Windsor. This one is for un- scrupulous persons to prey on women drivers. The idea is to get an old car at the junk dealers. Just so long as the vehicle will go it is suitable. Then the driver waits until he sees a woman piloting a car. Following the woman, he waits until she stops quickly for a stop light or a stOp street. In- stead of stopping also, the driver of the decrepit car crashes right into the one driven by the woman. Next he jumps out and makes a song and dance about damages and paying on the spot. He will accept ten, fifteen or fifty dol- lars as the case may be to call it quits. If the woman is not wary, she is liable to pay without thinking. That is what this new menace to society hopes for. He gets the money and goes away to look for another innocent wo- man motorist.

A N ew Swindle Mr. and Mrs. Robert Conkey of the village of Priceville, have through the Public Service Bureau of the Toronto Daily Star, offered to give a real old- fashioned Christmas to any poor mo- ther and kiddies from the city, inviting them to spend a whole month with them. There are no conditions attach- ed except that the mother and children be clean and in good health. They will also provide their return railway transportation. practice would seem to be very much out of proportion to the gain derived.â€" Dundalk Herald. Postmaster Has Christmas Spirit THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ; But we did not do so and we are ,not immune. Gossip has centred a lot around the possibility of a native born Canadian being Canada’s next Governor-General. It was fanned of course, by the action of Australia in naming a native born Australian to represent His Majesty. If all Britons were as loose tongued as Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas there might be ground for the rumors in Canada. But they are not. The Governor-Gen- eral, particularly since the appoint- ment of a British High Commissioner to Canada, represents His Majesty alone and there is no disposition at Ottawa to tell His Majesty who shall so represent him in this Dominion. v- --â€"r ”vouublfivllo It is the usual custom to submit two or three names to the Dominion. The most acceptable is recommended for appointment, but the names are sub- mitted and the appointment made by the King. Mr. Bennett’s answer to Mr. Thomas embraced no threat but it embodied a warning, which, coming from one whose allegiance to the Empire can not be questioned, is thrice a warning. Thomas, evidently speaking for the Macdonald government says “humbug” of a proposal which would give Britain a ten per cent preference over foreign countries in all duties on imports into a country which imports some $1,200,- 000,000 worth of goods and products each year. He says “humbug” unmind- ful of the fact that for more than twenty years Canada has given 9. tot- ally unreciprocated preference to Bri- tish manufacturers. He says “hum- bug” when all that is asked by Canada in return is a fair market for the basic product of the senior domin- ion in the Empire partnership. Nor is it helpful to recall that we are in the position we occupy because an- other Government failed to meet its obligations by forestalling, in a period of world-wide prosperity, a situation such as now obtains. There is unan- imity of belief thatâ€"with our vast store of new wealthâ€"we might well have so directed our business so that when old- er and less happily situated people felt depression we should be immune. There are ugly and inescapable facts to face. There are barriers to sur- mount which call for a broader know- ledge, less of heat and more of light, than we have been called upon to exer- cise. We have to think in terms of the world and of our children. More than ever does the success of democracy depend upon leadership, upon alert minds and cool heads. Thomas may never understand it. Macdonald may be so dominated by Snowden that he cannot take warning. or cannot translate that warning into action. There may be little to hope for until the people of the British Isles take the matter into their own hands. National recognition of these facts is epitomized in the welcome home ex- tended Premier Bennett at Ottawa by people of all political prejudices. There was unanimous recognition of the fact that he had reflected the heart of Canada at the Imperial Conferences and there was acknowledgment that he had seen into and endeavored to deal with the problems which confront the Canadian mind. Patently the present government of Britain had considered its own political well-being rather than continued and strengthened existence of the Empire. Mr. Bennett’s dignified and pregnant reply to the music-hall outburst of Hon. Mr. Thomas about “humbugs” was a deliverance which may well take its place among historic utterances. But being better 011' than another country does not give employment to our unemployed, does not raise markets for our produce, does not wipe out the solemn fact that a vast army of people in this Dominionâ€"potentially the rich- est country on earthâ€"know want. Democracy is facing a very serious challenge in these months of acute ec- onomic depression. The situation is not peculiar to Canada. It is World wide. In fact, while there may be cold comfort in the assurance, conditions here are immeasurably better than in ninety per cent of the countries of the universe.
