THE BUCK
The problem' of relief in Ontario has .got out of hand and
the fault for this calamity lies at the d-oor of the Province. When
distress first manifested itself, churches and other organizations
raised no end of cry in behalf of any who were on short rations.
The man out of work or the woman who had ilost her job was told,
"You don’t need to worry about a job, We’ll see that you are kept.”
Needless to say -the exhortation was heeded with the results that
we have cultivated a whole generation of folk who look upon it as
their right to live on the results of .other people’s toil and self
denial. We sowed the wind of soft-headedness. We’re about due
to reap the whirlwind of municipal bankruptcy, both financial and
moral.

A FINE SIGHT
We know of a father who thought it well to visit his son who
was taking a course in one of our medical colleges. /This young
fellow is a first class iboxer and a genuine sport in a few odd ways.
He is living with a number* of other students where all sorts of
things are going on. When the father came to the common room
he heard a good deal of noise such as youth delights in and he
wondered if his hopeful were one- of the merrymakers. "Is my son
here?” he inquired. “You’ll find him in the library! ,He’s taking
root there!” came the reply. Thither the father resorted and found
his son deep in his books surrounded by everything, designed to

greatly improved its financial posi

auditor’s report of F. P. Gibbs, C.A.
of Stratford made public last week.
Four years ago a retrenchment
program was instituted and a pay-
as-you-go policy adopted, the very
things which the Ontario Govern
ment is urging upon municipalities
today.
The Auditor’s report shows that
the excess in 1934 of current reve
nue over expenditures was $40,727.-
47, an improvement of $24,228.84
over 1933.
The current deficit of $33,707.34
as at Dec. 31, 1933, has been ab
sorbed and a current' surplus .of
$5,616.49 set up, so there has been
a net current improvement in the
county’s financial position of $39,-
323.83. Arrears of taxes in the
hands of the Treasurer have also
been materially reduced. Bank loans
have been reduced from $105,000 to
$58,000 and $2,000 less interest Was
paid in 1934 than in the year pre
vious.
