Spring does bring a million of little things in which we may find joy and “hears how silence sings." Jessie Findlay Brown mentions two “little olts of Heaven,” the “bird song,” and “a perfect flower," and there is no season of the year that we can hear the happy, enthusiastic bird songs as we do in the spring.

After more than a month of careful planning that often kept company or- flclals poring over extra work untll early hours of the morning, the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Limited, on Monday launched a plan designed to benefit simultaneously the primary producers of foodstuffs, the manufacturers who process them, and the consuming public of the province, H. C. Berkstresser, general manager of the company’s Ontario headquarters, announced last Friday. While the project is designed to stim- ulate activity and confer benefits with- in Ontario, it is also an intensive ex- (amplification of the company’s per- manent policy of favoring not only products of the province, but also of. the Dominion and the Empire, in its purchasing, Mr. Berkstresser said. The direct benefits of the plan that will be felt in Ontario will have reper- cussions also in the larger spheres, it is anticipated. The scheme has been oflicially chris- tened “Produced-in-Ontario Week,” and will continue from Monday morn- ing until Saturday evening. Through- out the week, the company will attempt to stimulate the purchase of Ontario products of all kinds, in its 174 stores throughout the province, through the mediums of heavy advertising, special window and counter displays, unusual- 1y enticing prices, and the enthusiasm of its all-Canadian personnel. The plan is regarded by manufac- turers as one of the greatest poten- tial creators of increased production ever conceived during such a short per- iod for all lines of Ontario foodstuffs. Further, it is h0ped that the inherent quality of “Made-in-Ontarlo” goods revealed in this campaign, will result in a permanent benefit to all concern- ed, Mr. Berkstresser added. The enterprise is in essence a “Pros- perity Drive” made possible~through the co-Operative efforts of the A. and P. management, a number of manufac- turers and food processers, and count- less primary producers, it was explain- ed by the general manager. Chain Store To Push Products of Ontario “It is a merchandising campaign de- signed to focus interest on Produced- in-Ontario goods, demonstrate their desirability and reasonable price to the public. and create an intensive but per- manently steady demand for them. Everything featured in the campaign is produced in Ontario, including a broad line of groceries, canned goods, meats, fruits and vegetables. “We hepe it will prove a measure of assistance to manufacturers and farmers alike, and get the consumer interested in home-grown products. We have already received warm ex- pressions of approbation of the plan from Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, the mayors or reeves of numerous Ontario municipalities, and other provincial and civic officials, rec- ognizing its value to industry and the producers. some weeks past. This has resulted in increased production in many plants and a speeding up of employment and general activity.” LIFE’S PRIME, THE YEARS BETWEEN YOUTH AND AGE At what age is the average man or woman in his or her prime of life? is often asked. and what is the average length of life? "The manufacturers are co-operat- ing closely with us, and have been pre- paring merchandise for the sale for The average length oi life in the United States, according to estimates made by the United States public health service, is fifty-six years. Statis- tics indicating the expectation of life place Australia at the head of the list with an average length of sixty-one years. New Zealand comes second, with an average expectation of sixty years. The average expectation of life at birth in various countries. according to the United States bureau of the cen- $113, is ,as follows: Denmark, Norway and Sweden, fifty-seven years; England. fifty-three years; Holland, tittyotwo; Switzerland, fifty-one; France, fifty; Germany, (orty-six; Japan, forty-four and India, twenty-three. Statistics also show that females have a greater ex- pectation of life at birth than males. The prime of life, says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer, is the period of full vigor and power, that which succeeds youth and precedes age. Whenever I ,see this illoassorted con- glomeration of hapeful youth (a class of incoming college'freshmen), they call to my mind the young lady who said to her physician, “How soon will I know anything after I come out. of the anesthetic?” “Well,” replied the doctor, “that’s ex- pecting a good deal from an anesthet- tendfled Effort MondayPScheme factual-s and Public. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE ported by a flashy line-up of regi- mentals. The members of the House of Commons stood in rows behind the bar or the Senate Chamber, in which the ceremony took placeâ€"they are not allowed within. The legislation of the session was reviewed both in French and English. It seemed endless as one stood to listen to it and then with much hat-tipping and bowing the ceremony was completed. Most Parliaments start off energet- ically giving great promise, but grad- ually weaken until finally the vanish- ing point is reached. This is the second long session of the seventeenth Par- liament. Minister and the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen stood on the right and the left of him, gorgeously arrayed in Windsor uniforms. All three were sup- _length has closed. The ceremony of prorogation was colorful; in the ab- sence of the, Governor-General, Chief Justice Anglin acted as his deputy. The King’s representative remained seated and wore his feather-trimmed hat dur- ing the closing ceremony.

Undoubted- ly closer observation of expenditures will be exercised, the audit broadened and several other reformations effected here and there, but in the main the organization of the road will not be in- terfered with. The Civil Service gave promiseyf up- setting the whole idea of appointment on the merit principle, but the tem- per of the House was against such a per of the House was against such a 1 re-actionary step. It is true some con- ‘ cession was made to the re-actionary : element by putting the post offices hav- ‘. ing a revenue up to $3,000 a year on ' the patronage list. The Radio Commit- . tee resisted the effort of private com- panies to gain control of this impor- tant medium om communication. Much has been said in the past about and against class legislation but the class character of the ruling power has been clearly manifested in several ways during this session. The Banking and Insurance companies were allowed to ’write in a valuation for their securi- ties which they do not now possess. While the Dominion Government would not support the Government of the Province of Manitoba in saving the Provincial Savings Bank of that prov- iince. they did come to the assistance fiof the banks and aided and abetted 'the banks in dictating to the Manitoba Government what action they were to )take. Again, consideration for certain {classes was clearly shown when the iten per cent. cut was introduced, by ‘5 some favorites being exempt. This mis- itake was covered later by a special bill aincreasing the income tax on the “ex- fempt classes” by ten per cent., but the ‘flrst action showed the mind of the @Administration. In income tax in- jcreases the heaviest increases were imade on the lowest incomes. It may ibe said the percentage of increase was ithe same but a man on a $50,000 sal- {ary or income can stand a 10 per cent. tincrease in taxes very much better {than one whose salary is $1,200. The Government’s determined re- fusal to consider the amending or re- peal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code revealed a fear of the propertyless classes. This same fear was shown by the additions to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and a very much in- creased number of deportations. Health estimates, agricultural estimates and many other equally important estimates per members make use of their privi- lege of parading grievances on going into Supply. In this way the question of the Beauharnois Company was given an airing in the House, Mr. Gardiner, Leader of the Farm Group, claiming that the whole project should be car- ried through by the Dominion Govern- ment and not by a private company. Similarly the increasingly trying con- dition of agriculture was brought be- fore the House and an ,amendment moved pointing out some of the things that might be done to improve the situation. In introducing the motion it were cut but we still had $260,000 to spend on cadets. Surely the control of social diseases is more important than military training in schools.

The farm group in the House very carefully drew the amendment which follows, believing that such a policy would greatly assist agriculture and the whole economic life of Canada: “This House regrets that the Govern- ment has not made any pronouncement of policy calculated to meet the de- pressed conditions ot the agricultural industry. “Further this House is of the opin- ion that the Government should take into consideration the following sug- gestions as means calculated to improve the agricultural industry.
