Social insurance, reduction of number of unemployâ€" ed and cutting down the Old Age The Ontario Government had planâ€" ned to change its pro rata contribuâ€" tion to municipalities to a lump sum contribution, but the present system will be kept in effect until it is deâ€" finitely known what part the Dominâ€" ion Government plans to play, not only in the financing but in the adâ€" ministration of relief as well. Up to now, the Dominion Government has acted solely as the banker taking no _ part in administration of relief matters. This is likely to be changâ€" ed long before another year is finishâ€" BY THE WATCHMAN Toronto, January 8th. Instead of a patchwork of relief systems in Canada with each province using its own methods, a standardized plan for the whole Dominion may be created within the next six months. For the first time since unemployment became acute, there is a hope that unemployâ€" ment relief may become uniform and systematised on a nationâ€"wide scale. Durham has a few who enjoy the sport now, and with a little encourâ€" agement, it could be made a big thing in the sporting life of the town. Today winter sports are a factor in the round of life and different cenâ€" tres are making a successful bid for the merrymakers. Collingwood has recently organized a skiing club, and as this Simcoe town has nothing on Durham for thrills in scenery, it leads us to sugâ€" gest that organized skiing here would be a profitable pastime, that would yield dividends in health as well. The ‘Bulletin‘ of that town, goes on to say that with a good start, the Club may be soextended that instead of the preliminary forms of the sport being its only attraction, its proâ€" grams may be so enlarged as to cover its many angles and include many of its special features. to many a town in Ontario, and once the town has a name and repuâ€" tation for that sport, it can capitalâ€" ize on it. What has the winter carâ€" nival done for Huntsville? what has Hockey done for Durham? What has Quebec gained by tâ€"eir annual exhiâ€" bition of winter sports? They certainâ€" ly have lost nothing by the publicity given them in these respective linâ€" Not that there are insufficient sports in and around Durham, are we suggesting an organization for a skiing club. The contour of the country.in Durham and district calls for this Norwegian sport. This is a country of hills and dales and that is what the sport calls for. Winter sports have been a commercial asset Cke BAuarkum Arvicw At QOzeen‘s Park Proprietors WHO SAID SKIING? There must be boats for hire. Ownâ€" ers of streams where fish are to be New cabins must be built; repairs and improvements made to meet the demand of tourist accomodation. These people must have chairs to sit on, beds to sleep on, all of which brings work for someone. Where there is a large number of tourists in a district, prices of farm produce are raised at a time when there is the greatest production. Because of tourist business Canada exports about 15,000,000 pounds of butter, 30,000,000 pounds of meat, ‘5, 000,000 dozen eggs beside all the other things the tourist eats. The farmer gets that. The restaurant keeper gets the tourists‘ money, but he has to buy the food he sells them. About the first thing a tourist does when he gets out of his car is to hunt up a place to eat. R It is significant that the recomâ€" mendations laid before the subâ€"comâ€" mittee on relief and unemployment at the Ottawa conference forms the basis for the Dominion‘s policy on relief. The recommendations laid beâ€" fore the subâ€"committee, and later adâ€" opted by the entire conference, were only slightly modified and were unaâ€" nimously agreed upon by the provinâ€" cial premiers of the other provinces as well as by the King cabinet itâ€" self . WHO PROFITS BY men back to work. This, as much as anything else, will take up the time of the commission. When that time comes, Ontario will be relieved of some of its finanâ€" cial burden and the "payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"go" system will come into effect permanâ€" ently . The creation of a social scheme will remove many from the relief lists and a reduction in â€" the age limit for Old Age Pensions is certain to aid this trend. But one of the main plans of the National Unâ€" employment Commission will be to devise a Dominionâ€"wide plan to put At the present tims, reliof is costâ€" ing Ontario approximately $30,000,000 yearly, apart from the Dominion conâ€" tribution. This huge sum constitutes a& terrific financial burden on _ the province. Realizing that the municiâ€" palities were in no shape to carry much of the load, the province took up the slack and patiently waited for the time when the Dominion Govâ€" ernment would recognize its obligaâ€" tions in this respect, That recogniâ€" tion is now partially realized and when the National Unemployment Commission gets through with its big job, there is every reason to believe that the King Government will move to implement its pledges. Pensions limit â€"are other matters which this commission will deal with and report back to the Ottawa authâ€" orities The fact that the Dominion Government has increased its conâ€" tribution to Ontario by $450,000 per month for a fourâ€"month period . is significant, inasmuch as it points to the Federal Government expecting to be in a position to receive the recâ€" ommendations cf the commission beâ€" fore that period expires. THE DURHMHAM REVIEW TOURIST BUSINESS ? Mrs W. Ledingham, Colgate, Sask., appreciates the weekly visit of the "Durham Review" to her home. "We can hardly do without this weekly letter: it keeps us posted of the hapâ€" penings we would never hear of any wther way", she says. "I may say that The Review is still a welcome weekly visitor to our western home though after 30 years spent on these prairies, many of the names mentioned each week prove to be the labels of unknown quantities. Notwithstanding this your paper awakens the remembrance of old friends, old scenes, old joys and old sorrows, with youthful dreams of high successes to be achieved and of the good to be done. It also brings the consciousness that noâ€" where _ have truer friendships been! found than among those of youthful : days." | TREADS MEMORY‘S LANE Dr. Joseph A. Snell, Saskatoon, (a brother of Mr. John Snell and Mrs. George Binnie) in renewing his subâ€" scription to the "Review", makes the following kindly comment: Midland Council took half an hour, just when adjournment seemed near. to debate whether they would acâ€" cept a uniform salary of $100 _ for the year or divide the appropriation of $1,50q for renumeration on a pro rata basis. The byâ€"law calls for $5a meeting, but there have been enough meetings already to use up the apâ€" propriation . Decision was made to stand by the $1,500 appropriation. _ The Editor of the Chesley Enterâ€" prise is asking several of the businâ€" ess men of the town to write how, where and when they earned their first money. Some residents of Durâ€" ham are more concerned how they will get the last money they worked for. United States political leaders are said to be worrying about Dr. Townâ€" send ard his $200 a month for everyâ€" body over 60. Well, possibly Mackenâ€" zie King also worried about Hon. H. H. Stevens. In the Editor‘s Mail Box Hon. Howard G. and Mrs. Ferguâ€" son are sailing from New York this weck on a trip to _ South Africa.

A life made beautiful by kindly deeds A helping hand for others‘ needs; To a beautiful life there came an end He died as he lived: everyone‘s friend two years ago in March. We shall see him again when Jesus comes: till then, "be ye also ready." Mrs, Homer sang a solo entitled "Shadâ€" ows." Two favorite bhymns of the deceased were also sung: "Abide with me" and "Safe in the arms of Jeâ€" sus." Sympathetic floral tributes l "Not dead but sleepeth." It wi:l not be long before those who pass on will stand triumphant over the empty grave. He said then the promâ€" ise that God will wipe away all tears, will be fulfilled. He also brought the 'striking fact that is found in Luke 8:52. The young die as do the old. He said it was almost unbelievable that people continue _ to live apart from God. He urged everyone presâ€" ent, to prepare themselves through the sacrifice of _ Jesus Christ upon the cross. _ He also stated, of all men that I have met, Mr Tom Torry was a Prince. He knew his own busâ€" iness and minded it well. He was never known to mind other people‘s business and whenever he could do a good turn for anyone he did it . We are sorry such men are taken from us but he is happy being reunâ€" ited with his wife who passed away ;teem and respect in which deceased was held as a neighbor and friend, ’and his passing has come as that of the Psalmist, full of years and honor. ’ Deceased in health, was a regular attendant of Mulock Baptist church, but for years was unable to be presâ€" ent, but always gave to the church. His Pastor, Mr Homer conducted the services and spoke from the texts Jno. 5:18, "The Lord maketh sore and bindeth up. He woundeth and His hands make whole." Luke 8:52, and all wept and bewailed her, but He said, "Weep not, she is not dead but sleepeth." From these two texts Mr. Homer based the thoughts of comfort for the mourners. |to;r i'eara ago he was married to | Miss Elizabeth Campbell, who passed On Saturday afternoon the remains were laid to rest in Durham cemeâ€" tery . The large gathering present at the home and graveside, conveyed more than words could tell of the esâ€" away at his home Thursday evening Jan. 2nd, in his 73rd year. Death cannot be attributed to any special Cisease, but rather a general breakâ€" ing up of life‘s machinery.
