GILROY, AGE 91 DIES AT MOUNT FOREST nouncements, otc. statements, billheads, inveices, auo The recent annual meeting of the executive of Teeswater Fair which has come to have the distinction of being Ontario‘s greatest twoâ€"day fair, discloses some interesting facts conâ€" cerning this rural exhibition. In some penal institutions not in Canada, machine guns would have been barking, and there would have been quite a few funerals. The thrashings may have knocked a little sense into the young chaps . who rtill have a chance to make good afâ€" ter they leave the place. FACTS CONCERNING 3,400 entrics were made at _ last year‘s fair, including 200 in the horse classes, 200 in the cattle classes, and over 1,000 in domestic exhibits such as fancy work, baking, etc. They restored order in the Guelph Reformatory with the strap. In other words the lads who thought themselvâ€" es ‘tough‘ were given a sound thrashâ€" ing. Many selfâ€"etyled humanitar ians will protest violently at such brutality. _ If they had ever seen an angry mob milling round, they would not. _ Mob violence can only be met with violence of some sort, and we feel that the reformatory authorities showed great restraint in handling the situation. The financial statement presented by the treasmer, Mr. Alex. B. Mc Kague, showed that the gate receipts amounted to $2,314.00, while the sum of $300 was realized from the proâ€" ceeds of the concert and dance _ at night. All told the receipts for the two days totailed over $4,000 _ while the fair officials paid out an amount exceeding $1,700 in prize monies. As _ a result of this year‘s fair, which was the best in the history of the society, the assets of the organâ€" ization have now reached the magniâ€" ficent sum of $6,%42, with no liabiliâ€" ties. Already the executive are making preparations for their 1937 exhibiâ€" tion which they plan to make bigger and better than ever. Order your job printing from the U.S.S. No. 3, NORMANBY IT DIDP a 1.0T or coon Margaret Leith, Teacher. TEESWATER FAIR Defence, and Other Issues The very large increase in Aefence estimates threatens to be the most contentious matter which will come up this session. The Hon. Ian Mac | kenzie, Minister of National Defence, | will shortly introduce estimates totâ€" alling over %3 milhon dollars, an inâ€" crease of 16 millions. The matter has not yet come beâ€" fore the House, but the governmenl,@ apparently anticipating opposition, has used every opportunity of creatâ€" ing a favorable atmosphere for them when finally they arrive. Several such have occurred this week. There iwas the continued debate on _ Mr. Woodsworth‘s neutrality _ resolution, lur. Heaps‘ suggesiting that we _ ask Mr Roosevelt to call a world conferâ€" ence and Mr Douglas‘ motion suggestâ€" ing that, in the event of another war, involving Canada‘s active participaâ€" tion, every agency, financial, indusâ€" trial, transportation or _ natural â€"re sources, shall automatically be conâ€" scripted for the duration of such . a war. _ Leading government members used each of these as an excuse for making strong, almost _ belligerent speeches in favor of the huge miliâ€" tary expenditure. Other prominent issues of the week were the home improvement bill and another aliâ€"day discussion on the neâ€" cessity of amending the B.N.A. Act. For the renovation of a single dwellâ€" ing. a loan up to $2,000 can be securâ€" ed, with further amounts for a multiâ€" ple house; duplex, apartments, &c. The borrower pays the loaning comâ€" pany interest by having his loan disâ€" counted . The amount of interest figures out to €.32%, although in the Act it is said to be a discount _ of $.25%, which is but another way of stating the charges. The government will guarantee the loaning company against loss up to 15% of the aggreâ€" gate loan, after the lenders have exâ€" hausted every effort to collect. A publicity campaign will be carâ€" ried on "To make the Canadian pubâ€" lic homerepair conscious" and _ to explain the plan. Mr. Dunning told the House that the cost of this camâ€" paign would not be borne by the govâ€" ernment out by private funds raised by business interests which expect to benefit by the expenditure and pubâ€" licâ€"spiritel citizens who wish to see the plan carried out. The Dominion government. in announcing the plan some time ago, stated its opinion that the improved properties should not be subject to increased tax assessâ€" ments. Local committees are taking the matter up with the _ provincial government. Iact legislation regulating hours of irâ€" dustry, establishing a weekly Aay 0 |rest and determining minimum wages. ’But. in a recent judgment in â€" the Privy Council (in Great Britain), it was determined otherwise. _ Uniform legislation for all the provinces on these and many other matters is needed if there is not to be a conâ€" stant shifting of labor to the proâ€" vinces with the greatest security and of manufacturers to the _ provinces with the lowest costs. Mr. Coldwell in presenting his resolution asking Tor establishment of a committee to enquire into the constitutional changâ€" es necessary to modernize our constiâ€" tutional practice, argued that today a strong central authority is needed if Jdemocracy is to function sufficiently well. He cited the success of the Un ited States in securing social securiâ€" ty legislation, even with greater conâ€" stitutional difficulties than we are likely to experience. New Zealand which is not a fei. J. A. Marshall (Social Credit) claims that the Banks will simply create the 50 million dollars of credit necessary to fulfil the scheme, lend it to the people of Canada and, in the process of time, get back the whole amount plus $3,160,000 for serâ€" vices rendered. Ant yet, he said, we do not hear a word about inflation. He thought the interest charge too high, pointing ovut that the Canadian Farm Loan Board charges only 5% and is said to be making a profit. It was claimed that the legislation is not sufficiently wide in scope, since it does not make provision for thos» who most need to improve their homâ€" es but can least afford to Ao so. Onâ€" ly those appiications which are apâ€" proved by the loaning company can come under the scheme. In other words, the loan is not made on the basis of the roed but on ability to repay the loan. Al, however, admit ted that it was a step in the right diâ€" rection . When the Britisch North America Act was written, no provision was made for its amendment, so that in many things we are still bourd by the thinking of wise and good men who lived mary years ago, before the inâ€" dustrial age, and who could not po«â€" sibly foresee the needs of this day . Mr Benvett assumed that the Federâ€" al government hai the power to enâ€" Before Parliament Jlay, Feb. 6, 1937. which is not a feiâ€" aor onrer n n ht snn Sgmaly, t oi isb 5): >s.... s & ; eral union, has, under a Socialist aq. ministration, beaded by the _ Hon, Michae!

And phrases I thought never . to hear again are used _ repeatedly: ‘"Preparedness brings peace," "Mal> | the world safe for demoeracy," and even that old boner "We must defen: lour women and children." And again, Mr. Rogers says, decisions of the Privy Council, : nounced last week, have gone 1\ in emphasizing and entrenching vincial rights than any decision for many years."" He criticizes Bennett severely but offered n« but a sitâ€"andâ€"wait policy. in my opinion, division of autho} with lack of power on the part _ of the federal or central government, is doing more than anything else . to make democracy ineffective in Canaâ€" da. Unless the changed conditions of today are to be taken into account by the Privy Council to a degree tha: affects their decision, the B.N.A. Act must be Amended, If the proâ€" vinces have to carry the burden _ oi the everâ€"increasing social legislation, thea their right of taxation must be greatly increased . But even that would not result in uniformity of soâ€" cial services over the whole country.
