The budget do not by any means attempt to balance accounts for the coming year, as it is expected that the deficit will be $100,000,000 which is $62,000,000 less than last year.* Additional taxes which will be paid by corporation are expected to yield an additional revenue of $6,000,000 while income from the sales tax which has been increased from 6 to 8 per cent is expected to yield $23,000,- 000. The reduction in the tariff on gaso­ line may mean some saving to the people and the farmers it is hoped •will benefit from the reduction of duty on agricultural implements from 25 per cent to 7l(> per cent. It is a known fact that Finance Minister Dunning was anything but anxious to place further imposts on the people but the fact that the countrp’s debt is continually incre us­ ing placed him in a position where some additional revenue had to pro­ cured. When one considers that 62^2 per cent, of the country’s revenue goes to pay uncontrollable expenditure it can easily be seen that the task of a Minister of Finance is not an easy one nor a pleasant one. * * * ANNUAL CLEAN-UP Now that better weather seems to a certaintity and the grass is green once more it is time for all house­ holders to clean up their properties and make our town cleaner and brighter than ever before. During the long winter, rubbish of various kinds is bound to accumlate, but a few hours with the rage or other implements will quickly give one’s place a tidy appearance. Let us all try and make our Town a cleaner and more sanitary place to live in. * * * * CAREFUL DRIVING NECESSARY Magistrate Walker of Walkerton in fining two drivers for speeding the other day made the remark that a little more attention should be paid to local motorists, who drive around Walkerton at such a speed that it is dangerous for young children or other pedestrians. We have often noted here that many motorists drive with much speed about the town and that stop signs do not mean a thing to them. This is a very dangerous practise and these wilful offenders should be checked up before some accident of serious na­ ture occurs. * * * * - Fergus is now on daylight saving time.

Thirteen auxiliaries participated in the Kingdom of God movement, re­ sulting in greater interest and devo­ tion to the work for-which the W.M. S. stands. A twenty per cent, increase was re­ ported in systematic givings and Winthrop auxiliary reported having exceeded its allocation. An interest and attendance at the sectional meet­ ings was urged. Mrs. McKenzie reported five Even­ ing Auxiliaries: North Street, Gode­ rich; Gorrie, James Street, Exeter; Seaforth and Wingham. It has been stated that if the same interest were manifested in this work as was manifested in rescuing the men from the Moose River mine the world would be evangelized in five years. Mrs. Lane reported seventeen Mis­ sion Circles, an increase of four. One had developed into an Evening Aux­ iliary during the year . The , young people stressed the worship period in their meetings; some reported increas­ ed givings. Miss Bailie sent her report. Two new C.G.I.T. groups, also increased interest and effort.

Moorhouse was pastor of the convention church meeting ten years ago Moorhouse had performed at that time. Mrs. Mantel, strangers’ reported that fifty-five of three auxiliaries have strangers’ sec­ retaries. Mrs. H.

She said the W. M. S. was proving to be a real force, giv­ ing to its members a wider viewpoint, new friendships, a greater knowledge of the missionaries and their work. Mrs. Shipley spoke of those on the program today who were here ten years ago, and read letters from some of the officers who were absent who held office, Mrs. Gardiner, Miss Con­ sitt, Miss Hume, Miss Mooney, Mrs. Johns, Mrs. Archibald and Mrs. Clark. Those present were asked to speak. Two former presidents, Mrs. J. E. Hogg, tlje first president after Un­ ion, and Mrs. Mollard, have now pas­ sed on. Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Gard- i tner, former presidents, spoke briefly. Mrs. Lane speaking of leadership training, recommended attendance at Alma College Summer School, Aug. 24-28. On the program are the names of Dr. Brown, Mrs. Forbes, Miss Griffiths and Mrs. Rutherford. Mrs. Farrill then read a number of her original poems, which greatly in­ terested and charmed the ladies. An impressive and beautiful mem­ orial service was held for those who had been called to higher service dur­ ing the year, Mrs. James Hamilton conducting it. Mrs. Nay read the names, Mrs. Greer placed flowers in a basket representing each one, also for the two presidents who had gone on, “All the Way my Saviour Leads Me” was sung and the Lord’s prayer was said in unison. Conference Branch President Speaks Mrs. J. McCrea, president of the London Conference Branch gave a very inspiring, and interesting ad­ dress. She complimented the Presbyterial on coming first conference. There was now conference a membership of a goodly number of devoted women. •17(5 had died during the year, The depression, she said, had made itself felt even in the Church, but the Chris- tioti Church had kept up better than any other organisation. She regret­ ted that a number of workers, native workers, had had to be dropped ow­ ing to lack of funds. She said the Domihiou president had said that Huron in the in the 20,914, offers you all the features you have a right to expect in a modern motor car.

The Dom­ inion Board had recommended the dropping of allocations, but she said she thought an allocation was an in­ centive. The people should be told the„need and then asked to rise to it. An increase of ten per cent, had been asked for this year, but only a three per cent .increase had been raised. She hoped the ten per cent, might be reached this year. She told of some experiences she met with in the west. We here knew little of sacrificial giv­ ing, she said, and told of one Auxil­ iary which out of its poverty gave $50. One woman came with five cents, which she said she was ashamed to( offer, but which she was urged to give. That was the sort of giving which counted ,when people gave until it hurt. She spoke of the great Chris­ tian leader, Kagowa, who was giving leadership to the Western Church by his devotion. No great work was ever accomplished without sacrifice, she said. The Christian Church is faced with great problems and His followers would need to keep step with Christ if they wish to succeed in the task of spreading His Kingdom. Mrs. W. A. Oakes then favored the company with a lovely solo, “Shad­ ows,” and this was followed by the hymn, “Jesus Shall Reign,” sung by the company. Mrs. E. Wendorf, the church organist, presided at the or­ gan. Two missionaries, Miss Wellwood of China and Miss Martin of India, were called to the platform and Miss Wellwood, Who returned to her work MONUMENTS at first cost Having our factory equipped with the most modern machinery for the exe­ cution of high-class work, we ask you to see the, largest display* of monu­ ments of any retail factory in Ontario, All finished by sand blast machines.
