SCHOOL REPORTS NO. 1, NORMANBY & EG‘T KNOX CORNERS MAPLE TORONTO A number of matters of interest fully numbered M3â€"1â€"8â€"3, dated Mont came up during the week.

Hon. gontieman take up all the social legislation and get it through this week." _ Sir George wisely observed that he would see bhow ha got on with the first piece. For some time the Liberals did not take part in the debate at all on the bill, but later did. On the whole howâ€" ever, good progress was made, Wil Delay Election Miss Macphail‘s Weekly Letter House of Commons Ottawa, March 9th, 1935. The Prime Minister is sick. The House is far from being the same place without him. For almost five years now his personality has domâ€" inated Parliament. _ He has either pilotcd all the great pieces of legâ€" islation through the House, or been very close to the Minister who did. The frequently used phrase in his radio broadcasts "My government" was more than a figure of speech, it was an actuality. The uncertainty as to the time of prorogatioa, dissolution and election, of which I spoke in a recent article, has been accentuated. There is no hope of prorogation before Easter and a July election seems more cerâ€" tain than when I last wrote. That it will not be earlier one can be fairly sure. It seems probable that the House will adjourn for a lengthy Easter rocess, which might stretch out to the middle or end of May. Alâ€" most everything depends on Prime Minister‘s hoped â€"for recovery. One has often noticed among their acquaintances an extremely eflicient mother whose daughters had little or nothing of their mother‘s skill and ability in _ homemaking and housekeeping. The mother being able to do the work much more rapidly and skilfully had not the patience to train them laboriously. With all due deference to the Cabinet Ministers, the situation in the Commons is quite similar. The Prime Minister has always had dynamic energy and work was his chief recreation. Even his apparâ€" ent holidays were connected with one task or another. A legend has grown up about the Prime Minister‘s industry; we hear he is in his office at g o‘clock every morning and there also until 12 o‘clock at night: we see him in the House,leading, fatherâ€" ing measure after measure, making many speeches most days, «ither long or short, and always directing the whole government. Added to this are the responsibilities of his own large personal interests and the much speaking and travelling which he seems constantly to do. Within two weeks he went to New York and spoke in company with Cordell Hull, of the American government: made an outstanding address at Queen‘s University, Kingston, one of his best in my opinion; addressed in compâ€" any with Denton Massey the Young Conservative Association in Toronâ€" to; and at the same time carried on his heavy routine work, Parliamentâ€" ary, personal and political, No wonder the Prime Minister is ill! No one can stand such continuâ€" ous high pressure activity and sureâ€" ly there is no need, Many of his Ministers and private members could bave relieved him of much of the burden, which would at same time have given them an opportunity for growth, and in an emergency such as is caused by his illness would have left the government in a much stronger position. | _ (b) Paragraph 49 dress regulations for the Canadian militia, 1932, pre ‘scribed a black bow tie and this parâ€" 'agnph is being amended by.......‘ Mess dress ties, IN.D.H.Q. Cir cular Letter No. 21, 1934, is quoted hereunder for your information: (a)} *In view of the many different patâ€" terns and sizes of mess dress ties, which it is observed are now being worn by officers of the Canadian milâ€" itia, I am directed to request that all officers may be advised as to theo correct pattern and size of mess dress tlies and that such steps as are possible be taken to secure uniformâ€" ity. ‘red tape‘. He read to the House a | departmental letter, all very care fully numbered M3â€"1â€"8â€"3, dated Montâ€"‘ real, December 20, 1934, as 1'ollow:;:I new Min‘ster, Mr. Grote Stirling, aâ€" gainst allowing the Woods Building (the administration building of the permanent staff) to dominate him, but asked the Minister, in whom he expressed confidence, to assert his ministerial authority and cut out the nonsense of the ‘war lords‘ and the "The most pressing factor in lhe farm debt situation in Canada is v.hel high rate of interest payable on farm. mortgages, in many Cases 8 per cent. That is an impossible rate; I uy‘ it is usury.....I1 know families who‘ are doing without shcets on their beds in order that they may keep their interest paid up.....A former member of this House said to me last December, ‘I had a mortgage of $30,000 on two sections of land. 1 can show you that I paid $50,000 on that mortgage and the company had me in Court last week, making me show cause why I should not allow them to proceed to foreclosure‘." The Farmors‘ Creditors Act is really a bankruptcy act for farmers, they having been until last year shut out of the advantages of bankrupt proceedings, It is, then, clear that every effort should be made to preâ€" vent farmers becoming so financially embarrassed that they must take adâ€" vantage of the act. There are two ways, it seems to me, that this can be done. The first, and by far the the most importantâ€"increasing farm prices. And the second â€" decreasing the farmers costs, of which interest is an important item. I hava felt all along that the government ought to carry the administration costs of the Farm Loan Act, which would in effect substantially lower interest rates to the farmer. To hear a captain call officers of the permanent force ‘brassâ€"hats‘ and ‘chocolate soldiers‘ was certainly fun for me. Discussion of Major General A.G.L,. MacNaughton‘s, C.B.E., salâ€" ary, which had been raised from $8,000 to $10,000 a year, provided Capt. Fred G.

It would certainly be very much better if the thousands of young peoâ€" ple who are roaming around, concenâ€" trated in unemployment camps, or remaining at home relying on the bounty of their parents, were able to get to work and the older people were given an opportunity to enjoy some recreation and rest.
