The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem, after which the hostess and assistants served a dainty lunch. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. George Mighton on June 8.

The president gave a report of the year’s work. There were twelve meet- ings held during the year. We had two speakers from other branches, Mrs. ’Sutton of Hanover and Mrs. Lamb, of ’rAberdeen; also a summer speaker. There was a membership of twenty- lnine. Papers and addresses were given on the following subjects: “Fall pulb planting on tulips," “The first Canad- ian wedding,” “The ideal wife,” "Home made Christmas decorations,” "Home nursing and first aid.” “The beauty of unselfishness." “Grandma‘s Valentines,” “The bridal wine cup.” Grandmother’s Day was observed. also a Temperance meeting. We lost two good members by death, Mrs. James Park and Mrs. Gor- don Reay. who are missed very much in the meetings. A bale of clothing was sent to the West. There were sprays of flowers given to each of deceased mem- bers. Christmas cheer was sent to the Children‘s Shelter at Owen Sound; also gifts and boxes to sick and shut-ins in the community. Stove pipes and win- dow shades were placed in the Orange Hall at Allan Park. During the year a roll call contest was sponsored with Mrs. B. Coutts and Mae Sharp as captains. It proved very helpful. Mrs. Coutts’ side had 775 points and Mae Sharp's side 762. The losing side are to banquet the winners. The meeting opened with the usual opening Ode followed by the Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison. Miss Gladys Mighton read the Scripture reading. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The roll call was well answered on something pertaining to gardening. There were letters of thanks for fruit sent from Mrs. G. Mighton. Mr. Cecil Reay and from the Tobermory doctor for a donation sent them. The Institute Ode was then sung. Miss Vera Reay gave an excellent paper on "The beauty of unselfishness.” Mrs. H. Chittick sang a solo accompanied by herself on organ. A favorite hymn, “Oh God, Our Help in Ages Past.” was sung. The members of the Allan Park Wo- men’s Institute met at the home of Mrs. B. Coutts, on Wednesday after- noon for the annual meeting. There were twenty-one members and a num- ber of visitors.

Friends of public ownership have {heavy hearts over the revelations made in the committee. Undoubtedly ex- travagant expenditures had been coun- jtenanced by the president and direc- 1tors of the Road and I think by the FMinister of Railways as well, but even fat that, the Chairman did not help :matters by bulldozing the witnesses. At ithe last sitting of the committee for jthe week, the tables were turned; until inow the Government had righteously been running evil to ground but now the Prime Minister was on the stand explaining to the committee how it was that although he occupied a fif- lteen-room suite in the Chateau Laur-l ier, the rental paid by him is only $400 a month. It seems that while the Prime Minister was at the Imperial Conference in 1930, alterations were made in the hotel which cost 3110,- 743.94, in order to create the fifteen: room “vice-regal" suite now occupied. by the Prime Minister. Before leaving‘ Canada Mr. Bennett. had made sir-i. rangements for the alterations, but; when he found, while in London, that; the cost would exceed the $50,000 stip- ' ulated by him, he cabled requesting. that the work be not proceeded with! On his return, however, he found the! remodelled suite ready and moved into} ---..... s- The row in the Canadian National Railways committee is still on. Mat- ;ters are not improved by the fact that 'Hanson, the Chairman, is one of the gmost bitter partisans in the House. So objectionable is his conduct that even E. C. Buchanan in an article to the .Toronto Saturday Night said: “High Priest Hanson seemed at times to lose his head completely, and his treat- ,ment of National Railway officials and iwitnesses was of the kind generally thought to be exclusive to police of- ficers administering the third degree. So insupportable was it that such a stair-minded Liberal member as Major jPower demanded that he leave the ‘chair and place someone else in it for the protection of the witnesses while he was attempting to bully them. And this failing, Liberal members with ample justification, threatened to walk out of the Committee. One was sur- prised they did not. The effect of it all was to prejudice the case Mr. Hanson and his friends were endeavoring tof establish, to create the impression ofi unfairness and ulterior motives." A further recommendation of the} committee dealt with Postmasters in‘ offices having a revenue of $3,000 and; less. These are now to be patronage ap- i pointments. Until the present time; only offices with a revenue of less than $400 were exempt from appoint-5 ment on the merit principle. A great: many members in the House felt this: was a backward step and when E. J. i Garland moved an amendment to the, report bringing Post Offices under the! administration of the Civil Service Act. he got consderable support from all! sides of the House, 55 voting for his' amendment, with 92 against it. The Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition stood in their places and solemnly announced to their followers that they could vote on the merits of the question, i.e., that party lines need not be followed. The many committees set up to in- vestigate this and that have arrived at the reporting stage. The special committee investigating the Civil Ser- vice Commission recommended that the three Commissioners, Roche, Mac- Tavish and Tremblay, be retired. Dr. Roche on account of his advanced age; the other two for no given reason. It has been evident to those who were following the work of the committee that the Government was out to “get” MacTavish and Tremblay, but by the evidence it would appear that those two Commissioners voted in some cases to appoint Civil Servants to positions not because of their qualities but be- cause of their political affiliations. The Public Speaking Contest for the High School students of Southeast Grey, held in the auditorium of the Flesherton High School last Saturday, was the best yet. Having four subjects to choose from, the speeches did not become monotonous. For the most part, senior students participated. In con- {struction, language and delivery the speeches were above the standard set by the contests of former years. Pro- fessors MacLean and Calvert of the English Department of the Ontario Ag- ricultural College were the judges. They have. the unique distinction of making a judgment with which the majority of the audience agreed. Milton Shoul- dice, Chatsworth High School, won first place; Mary Lockhart of Dundalk High School, second; Mr. Cooper, of Hanover, third; with fourth and fifth places being taken by Irene Martin of Flesherton and Peter Somers of Fev- ersham. I appreciate very much the as- sistance given by Dr. Stevenson, head of the English Department of the O.‘ A. C. and the Professors named above.‘ Each year they have judged the essays and speeches and have given valuablei criticisms. ; Sir Henry Thornton was present at Miss Macphail’s Letter as to the intention of the Government even in this respect, but it appears that the scale of relief granted, which is a very important matter, will be deter- mined mainly by the joint action of the provincial and municipal author- ities. It will be the duty of those on the spot to see that a proper scale of (Continued on page 6.) After considerable discussion the Un- employment and Farm Relief measure has passed all its stages in the Com- mons and now awaits confirmation in the Senate. The Provincial Govern- ments at their gathering here recently informed the Federal Government that they were not in a financial position to take care of any public works. Moreover in a great many parts of the country public works had been undertaken and completed many years ahead of their time. ' The Provincial authorities were unanimous on this question, therefore they decided jointly with the Federal authorities to limit practically all their relief activities this year to the grant- ing of direct relief. It was not possible to obtain a great deal of information 943.67, Sir Henry said; in 1931, $19.- 938 and this year so far. $8,236. A heat- ed discussion followed. Ross Gray, M.P., asked the Prime Minister it, now that he knew at what cost to Canada the suite had been prepared for him, he would be prepared to make finan- cial adjustment in view of the present state of the Canadian National. The Prime Minister is reported to have ex- pressed surprise that a member of Par- liament would ask such a question; he said that if the Hotel asked for more, he would consider their pmposition and either pay or vacate. make it wiser than ever TO CHOOSE THIS SIX TUMY.’ TH ESE REASONS NEW CHEVROLET SIX 12 Built in Canada, of Canadian materials by Canadian workers. , Stabilized front fender design.
