*n $3 little time left for fishing. Now if your committee could persuade those fish moguls to play the role of Santa ye a hint how things may be made interesting for some of the wisitors. Now many of the old timers and half timers enjoy a game of golf, much more so than the folâ€"deâ€"rol of circus sideâ€"shows and half pint girls running after a softball. _ Of course they are going to be disappointed as Durham has not stepped up to golf strata, but to help matters out, how about throwing open all the fishing reserves around Durham for the perâ€" lod of the reunion and let the boys enjoy some of the sport of their youth ? As you know all the good places are placarded like an epidemâ€" ic of measles, and if you stopped to read all the signs, there would be As you appear to be the "Kingfish" of the "Olde Boys and Gals in ye Olde Town of Durham", I want give ©1,937," 1 said after some mental cogitation . "Right as two rabbits" he said, "now that is the number of invitations sent out so far for the old boys‘ and girls‘ reunion. And that is not all, look here," and he showed me a pile of others ready to be mailed. "That‘s all right," I said, "but how about replies?" "Coming in thick and fast", he said. "Speaking of replies here is a good one I re ceived about a week ago." After reading it, Old Timer thought it too good to keep, so he repasses in on to the readers of this column. * Dear Bert: 1 OLD ROME WEEK JOTTINGS "H‘ you," said Sec‘y Willis to Old Timer, as he stepped into his office one day last week, "take 63 from 2000 and tell me what you get."

Henderson‘ Bread empting Buns, Cakes and Pastries HENDERSON‘S BAKERY BY OLDâ€"TIMER Friends of the Family As science and discovery ‘go on, newly developed products are constantly being adâ€" vertisedâ€"ready to help you save money and improve you standard of living. Every adverâ€" tisement of such a product jou read in your newspaper is a letter of introduction to a uew and possibly useful friend. Advertised products have a standing that commands respect. They are not nameless, but vouched for by responsible firms. The fact that they are advertised .> in itself an indicition that their standards of quality are strictly maintained, that they represent honâ€" est value. It will pay you to read tne advertiseâ€" men‘s in this paper. By so doing, you will meet many choice productsâ€"worthy to beâ€" come friends of the family, Look at the packages on your pantry or bathroom shelves and see what a multitude of brand names you recognize. Some of them have been familiar for years. You may have made the acquaintance of others only a few weeks ago. But even these are not suspected strangers. You have bought them confidently because they were advertised. And it is the same with your sheets and towels, your shoes and clothes, your electric appliances, the car in your garageâ€"nearly everything you use. Is Good Bread Mrs (G. R. Peterson (Dode McRae) Saskatcon, Says, "If at all possible I will be there." From North Dakota, Mr and Mrs Duncan McGillivray write, "Thanks for invitation and sure would like to be there." They want invitations sent Well Sandy your suggestion re garding the fishing is unique if nothâ€" ing else, and if we can not succeed in what you suggest we can at least get Allan McFarlane, Howard Mcâ€" Donald or Ed Kress to whisper in your ear where they catch all those big ones they tantalize us with each spring. Failing this, Jim McLachlan can put you wise how to get a basâ€" ket of rainbow ?° trout with the stripes on them and everything. Frank Morlock says they are the real thing for he caught some just like them only the red did not come off his when you handled them the way it did when you picked up Jim‘s. From Berkley, Thos. Bell writes he is coming and hopes to meet lots of old friends. |__ A few other questions: Has Brad ‘Jamieson gone baldâ€"headed? Does | Pete Gagnon wear false teeth? Has Oscar Hahn got quintuplets yet? Does Ferg. Grant still tell ghost stories? Mr. and Mrs George Ries, Niagara Falls, N. Y. send a list of names and say to count on them.

THE DURHAM REVIEW are so inadequate. Only five per cent of the farm people in Canada are e quipped with bathrooms with runâ€" ning water. Six hundred and fifty thousand homes in Canada should be equipped with modern facilitiee and Mr. G. G. Coote of MacLeod, Alta.,‘ supported Mr. Church, saying that poor housing was called ‘slums‘ in‘ the city and ‘shacks‘ in the country. He thought that all Canadians should live in a ‘home‘: "I say homes advisâ€" edly" he said, "because so many of the places in which our people live| ’ Tommy Church was very much in ‘hls oldâ€"time form when he made ‘his speech of support of the housing resolution. He told of having gone through Bracebridge to take a meetâ€" ing for Dr. MacGibbon who was serâ€" jously ill, and being shocked by the very poor rural housing. "Any plan which might be adopted should inâ€" clude rural housing. In many rural communities this matter is one of vital importance, Particularly is this true of Northern Ontario......I had an opportunity to see some of the shacks in which rural people live during winter months. I can only say this, that if we had not spent so much money on railways and state aid for privately owned railways and had spent a million dollars of that money in a housing scheme for such people, we would have done someâ€"l thing more to our credit......The first duty of a government is to look after the health, comfort and welâ€" fare of its people." l Unemployment insurance does not apply to those now unemployed. _A clear line is drawn between unemâ€" ployed relief and unemployed insurâ€" ance. _ The dominion will carry all administrative costs; in no respect will the provinceés have anything to do with it. It may be insurance aâ€" gainst the next depression but cerâ€" tainly not before. The labour men truly said it does not touch the fringe of the problem and yet it is excelâ€" lent as far as it goes. Had it been brought down in the early 1920‘s it would have been a very real assistâ€" ance during these trying years. Simâ€" ilar legislation was passed in Great Britain in 1911, in Italy in 1919, in Austria in 1920, in Irish Free State in 1920 and in France as early as 1905 though in the last case it was voluntary. a national health policy, the housâ€" \ing program proposed by Mr. Church, [ the proposal made by Mr. Dickie frhat a national flag should be adâ€" |opted and Mr. Woodsworth‘s proposâ€" al that the British North America {Act be amended while safeâ€"guarding the rights of minorities. ] House of Commons ' Ottawa, Feb. 2nd, 1935 This session so far is distinguishâ€" ed by the cordial reception given private members‘ resolutions by the government. ‘The practice has been to oppose or endure, but rarely to accept, resolutions ofiered by privâ€" ate members. It is a pleasant change to have the government accepting or referring to special committees }for study, consideration of pensions for the blind beginning at 40 years. The first plece of the muchâ€"heraldâ€" ed social legislation presented to the House was the Unemployment Insurâ€" ance Bill. It is a contributory scheme applying to men and women in cerâ€" tain industries, 21 years of age and over, who earn less than $2,000 per year. The individual contributes 25¢ a week, the employer 25¢ and the Dominion, 10c. The contributions must be made for 40 weeks before any benefits can be drawn for unemâ€" pioyment. The longest timefor which benefits would be paid would be 13 weeks, plus some additional days, de pending on the amount of the contriâ€" bution. During this time the unemâ€" ployed man or woman would draw $6 a week, with $2.70 for each deâ€" pendent adult and 90¢ for each child. It is a compulsory measure but does not apply to people employed in Agâ€" riculture, teaching, fishing, lumberâ€" ing, banking and finance, government service, Policeman, army and navy, sailors, fliers, nurses, agents, domâ€" estic and casual labour. Agres Macpbail‘s Weekly Letter ers which brought the evening‘s program to a close, A vote of thanks was tendered Mr and Mrs Homer for their kind hospitality. The weekly meeting of the Y.P.S. was held in the parsonage Duesday evening in the form of a birthday party, each member representing the month of their birthday. The social convener, Miss Ulva MacDonald was in charge. Mr Hugh MacLean read the scripture lesson. Mr. Homer ofâ€" fered prayer, after which Miss Florâ€" ence MacDonald favored the audience with a piano solo entitled the ‘Robâ€" in‘s Return". The address of the eveâ€" ning was given by Nr. Homer.} Quite a number were present and enjoyed a social evening by luvlng| games, contests and singing. Lunch and candy were served by the membâ€" The weather has been terribly ©old, the temperature hanging around 2q degrees below in the early mornâ€" ing. It is cold enough and I am feelâ€" ing it after the warm weather in the South. But of the two extremes I prefer cold; one can always get warm but it isn‘t always possible to keep cool. Nicol was a good sport and seemed to enjoy the joke almost as much as we did. Star to task, saying that he had been misquoted. Our corner sent him a note of sympathy, starting it ‘Dear Comrade‘ and adding a Russian endâ€" Ing to all our names. In it we told him how we had suffered from simâ€" ilar misrepresentation and how we appreciated his feeling of resentâ€" ment and embarrassment, We had a lot of fun writing it. I must say Macâ€" Mr. J. R. MacNicol has always shown signs of violent reaction to any mention of Russia, which made his _ little speech of commendaâ€" tions on the results of planning as exemplified by that country a surâ€" prise to the House, and apparently to the press as well. The next day Mr. MacNicol rose to a question of privilege and took the Toronto Daily that â€" agricultural â€" activities â€" would have to be financed by governments since under existing conditions it is impossible to get private companies or individuals to make loans against farm land. I made a brief speech in support of Mr. Elliot‘s position, pointing out in addition that the farmers of Onâ€" tario _ had been practically without loan facilities for a â€"year, none hayâ€" ing been made by the Province since the Hepburn government came into power in June nor at all by the Fedâ€" eral government because of lack of concurrent legislation by the Provâ€" ince. The Federal Loan Board is to have charge of farm loans for the whole Dominion. The amount of money aâ€" vailable for loan has been increased until it is now ninety million. In all probability the interest rate will be 5% %. The Hon. J. C. Elliot, Liberal member for Middlesex West, made a good speech showing that farmers in Ontario cannot pay 5% % interest and that the government would do better to set the rate at 4 % and be sure of getting it than at the higher figure and be reasonably sure of not gotting it. He pointed out what is every day becoming more evident, The government apparently wants to resord a vote on the trade agreeâ€" ments and has provided an occasion. Mr. Harris, member from _ Toronto, has moved a resolution which is still before the House that ‘In the opinâ€" ion of this House the operation of the trade agreements concluded with the Imperial Economic Conference held at Ottawa, 1932, merits the apâ€" proval of the House.‘ It is a purely political resolution, enabling membâ€" ers of the major parties to stage a noisy battle. It is very difficult to measure the full effect of the treatâ€" ies; inasmuch as they increased trade and good will between the Mother Country and the Dominions the effect is beneficial but if by doâ€" ing so they destroy trade with other countries, the trade is counterbalancâ€" ed. I notice that the League of Naâ€" tions rates our standing as ninth, not fifth as was recently stated by a govâ€" ernment member. ' cluding wages, for the farmer and | all members of his family who work | with him, I view the future for agriâ€" culture with a good deal of misgivâ€" MULOCK Agnes Macphail The U.F.W.0. win hold ‘their monthly meeting at the home of Mr and Mrs Murray Richie, Thursday The united congregation held their annual meeting Thursday afternoon in the church, to which there was a goodly turnout.

Two brothers die within a week of each other; Mr. Edward Barry was buried Jan. 22nd, his brother Michâ€" ael died the following week. Edward Barry passed away in his sleep, while Michael passed away very suddenly with heart trouble. Their gister Margaret who lived with her brother Michael has our sympathy as she is left alone. Mrs, Edward Barry who has been in bed for over a month, is still very poorly. It will be a while before she is able to go aâ€" round, as she had a stroke which parâ€" alized her right side.
