Novel. Debate Featured Church En
tertainment On Thursday When
Vital Subject Under Consideration
. '■' -‘■v- - . '■
•t ’ An Entertaining concert . was., pre
sented in-the schoolroom, of the^
United; Church on Thursday evening,
featured by A “Cabinet Meeting”
realistically presented by the Young
Men’s Class, qn the subject that, is
at present engaging considerable
thought “Should Canada Arm For
War,” Without being previously ar
ranged, the Cabinet of 20 members,
at the-conclusion of~the debate, voted
in favor of the question, the tie>
breaking vote being cast By Prime
Minister W/ V; Johnston. The Cab
inet failed to. make the decision un
animous and, the resultant resigna
tion of several pacifist members,
threatened to overthrow, the govern
ment.’ / •'•-/’/■•• J
„? The entertainment --i-was^,-~ under
Sunday school auspices, with Mg,
Wm. Murdie acting as chairman.
Splendid music .was provided during
the eyening by a 10-piece orchestra,
especially assembled for the occasion
under the direction of Mr. J. M.
Greer. Two pleasing solos were ren
dered by Mrs. (Rev.) W. J. Patton
and Mrs. Fisher and an equally
pleasing pi'ano duet by Mrs. Newton
and . Miss Eunice ; . .
A,t the close of ” the meeting, Mr.
and Mr. W. L. MacKenzie^ the latter
Sunday School superintendent, both
speaking briefly. Mr. Anderson com
mended the class for their,, fine pre
sentation of the matter, stating that
the addresses were superiors to some
which he,had heard on the’ floor of
the house, during his parliamentary
experience. Mr. MacKenzie thanked
all those who had taken part.
With; the leader of the group; Dr.,
W. V. Johnston, presiding, the mot
ion for debate was * introduced by
Mr. G. S. McIntyre, Secretary of
State. He was strongly supported by
the Minister of National Defense.
N. S. "Calvert, and by/Minister of
Railways, R. L. Treleaven. The Bill«'
was given strenuous opposition by
Alex Smith, Minister of Labor; Roy
Hudson, Minister of National Health;
who was a s^eam' in his imperson
ation of a French-Canadian habi
tant; and by Campbel^ Thompson,
Minister Of Justice. Other Honorable
members entering into the discuss
mon were/Kenneth Murdie, Jack Mc
Intosh, ' Harvey Webster, Harvey
Treleaven and Bill Hewat. After the
vote had been taken, the Minister of
Finance, Robert Rae, expressed keen
disappointment in the. Cabinet’s de
cision.

Returns Must Be In By April 9th—
Relief Is Now Discontinued
A special meeting of the” Village
Council was held on Monday after
noon, for the purpose of discussing
the tax arrears • situation which led
to the, decision to return such arrear^
to the County* All arrears up to and
including 1934, as well as some 1935
arrears, are slated to be returned to
“the County, and must be in the
County treasurer’s hands by April
9 th. This allows until April 6th for
payments in whole or in part to be
made locally.
Although exact figures of arrears
at present are not to hand, the tax
situation is regarded as favorable,
compared with other recent years.
At the end. of the year, total arrears
stood at $3427.85, of which amount
$2237.17 was unpaid taxes of 1935.
During the;. past three mpnths how
ever, a considerable portion of this
amount i has been received. ' ' ■

affected by/the; decree.

A Hopeless Outlook
Able Boclied Young Man Selling Shoe
Laces Wishes “They Would Soon
. Do Something?’
On Monday we were approached
to buy a pair of shoe laces. . The
salesman was one, of that countless
battalion that roams, the roads, and
whom we so .often/with that holier
than-thou attitude, refer to as hoboes
As the door opened, we turned
from our desk, to be anything but
impressed/by the evasive eyes and
hanging head that met our view, as
the caller, in a ' scarcely - audible
mumble;. asked, us to purchase his
wares. Our first thought was “ano
ther bum, scram,” but upon a second
thought, said something to the effeet
that a pair of laces wouldn’t go
amiss, and our attitude as we tossed
him out a^lime, may have possessed
a bit. of what the transient may
have wanted least, pity.
It was raining. He paused inside
for a moment, and we engaged him
in conversation.' The extent of his
plans, we learned, were stops at
Kincardine and ttftybe Goderich.
Plenty of time then to decide where
next. He sppke Pf the hopelessness
of the situation, and expressed the
wish that “they would soon do some
thing to remedy it”.
Maybe he was “stringing"us, but
I’prefer to think he was sincere,
when he , said he was eager to work
if given the opportunity. ' He was
hoping to get a job on a boat. He
was homeless and without relatives,
he said. Toronto was his birthplace
and he was learning the plumbing
trade when the depression struck, and
threw him out of ‘ work. ,
“There are a lot of fellows who
shouldn’t be. on the road,” he said.
When the cold weather strikes/they
have a Jwme. to go to, but his red
and weather beaten face was evi-,
dence that he had faced many a
biting wind during a long, hard win
ter* as he road the freights or plod
ded over snow filled roads.
It. was only a few. minutes between
when 'this sullen and. disgruntled
''hap entered the office until he left,
hut in departing, he did so, with a
cheery good-bye and a thank, ryou.
apparently appreciative of the fad
that someone . had considered it
worthwhile to at least pause Topg
enough to discuss with-.-him, his pro
blem, and a mighty hopeless one at
that at present. ' '
Rounding up his pal, they set qttt
‘n the face of a cold March ram*
fust another purposeless journey,
other than to search-for a handopt
and well they know they must keep
on the mo,ye, for the welcothe sign
Is not Jjung out for long in any one ,
place for these luckless roamers. 4 > Donsdd*.
, ' Under a new Co-operative; Society/
’ which he does not hesitate to declare
’ is a socialistic order, Rev. Alex'Nich-
’ olson, sees a possibly annual income
of $4000 for all, he told a Lucknow I
audience on Monday evening. Sociai-
ism he emphatically pointed out was
far removed from communism, which
stresses revolution to gain their
ends. Socialism is based on constitu
tional .changes which its supporters
claim are in the interest of all.
Failure of the meeting to be duly
advertised cut down the attendance,
but a representative and interested
group of village and farmer friends
gave a keen hearing to a fine ad-
- 4ress-^nd-mrtere‘d“into‘"tfhe~di'seussi6
that, followed. “Sandy” a“ popularj
Kinloss born young man, has made
a thorough study of economics and
social problems, and has been in
direct contact with these problems,
particularly in the Western provin
ces, where -as a minister of the
United Church, he spent .the past few
years in the Hudson Bay district.
Tracing the growth of the Capital
istic system, from , the time of the
Feudal system in England, the spea-|
-ker-pointe_douF’that wKiTe”it is the
finest system we have had so far.
it has reached its peak of usefulness,
and. is failing, us now.. The new social
order which he described, would aim
to produce the /greatest amount of
goods with the least amount of labor.,
but more important, would solve the j
nroblem of distribution. .
> Cornering of wealth would be
done away with, an" opportunity giv
en all fo do creative work,, with an
adequate reward for faithful service,
that Would raise our standard of
living and permit all to haye even
those things that are considered by
.many today as luxuries.
He cited the - days when Mr. Lit
tle’s father,’ employed five boot mak-j
ers, when We had a woollen mill and
when, the,, grist mill supplied the
flour to the. community. Control of
capital and centralization has grad
ually forced out these little busines-1

HORTICULTURE LECTURE
POORLY/jATTENDED
Mr. J* F. Clarke* Provincial Lecture
illustrates Informative Address
■ With; Picturesque Slides
Although there are many in jthe
community who are flower conscious;
yet the Horticultural Society’s activ
ities meet with such poor support and
enthusiasm that it; is discouraging
to say the least, to members of the
local Society, who £are endeavoring
to inform the public pf . the advan
tages the organization offers.
On Tuesday evening, a slim crowd
attended the illustrated lecture given
by Mr. John F-1 Clark, provincial
horticultural lecturer. Mr. Clark’s
address was; most informative. and
l interesting as he discussed^the /care
and attention necessary in growing
popular shrubs and lowers. /The
opportunity home beautification
by flowers was forcefully impressed.
Mr; Rathwell, local president, , in
his introductory, remarks, pointed out
that an effort was to be made to se
cure a junior membership, in the
■Society. The fee will be 25c, which
will entitle each junior member to
10 packages of seeds. Classes will be
open to the young members at the
annual flower show.
