LETTER NO. 3 Dear Sir: May I say that I like the way your press association is tackling its job in striking out to get some dominant and constructive note relating to the activities of your fellows of the week­ ly press. Their influence, I would think, is the most powerful influence in this country and so 6ould be a great factor for good or evil, I think they are nearer to then* constituents than anyone else, except possibly the physician and the clergymen, but they W. F. PRENDERGAST Privy Council Appeals To Be Abolished Ottawa — Legislation abolishing appeals'" to the British Privy Council is likely to be enacted by the present Government, although possibly not ait the present session of Parliament, it was indicated in the House of Com­ mons. Hpn. C. H. Cahan’s bill to pro­ hibit appeals was before the House and Justice Minister Lapointe, speak­ ing for the Government from a pre­ pared brief, declared' he favored such legislation, although he urged that be­ fore a final decision was taken “oiri such a vitally, important matter” that all parties and all members of House be given opportunity for ther study and discussion. the fur- Ontario Legislature Closed Driving through in a midday ting to the completion of business, members of the Ontario Legislature Friday cleared the way for the pro­ rogation of the second session of the Twentieth Legislature. The final act of the session occurred shortly after 3 pm., when Hon. Albert Matthews., 'Lieutenant-Governor, gave Royal as­ sent to the legislation passed by the IHouse and relieved the member of further attendance. Sit- ■have the advantage over these two of speaking regularly and at some length it© all their people. I think that if on the spur of the moment I had to urge some pro­ gramme upon the weekly editors I would urge that they use all their in­ fluence to incite in the people of their communities a real sense of citizen­ ship. It seenis to me that Canadians, •probably like people of other coun­ tries, 'have not developed this sense in 'the full. By this sense of citizen­ ship 'I mean a consciousness of the ’privileges we enjoy as members of a democracy with a full appreciation of the responsibilities which those priv­ ileges entail. I mean also a local patriotism of an intense and pure character but se­ cond in intensity to a national pat­ riotism. I think Canada by reason of geographical circumstance, with bar­ riers such as the thin strip between Quebec and the Maritimes, the waste dividing Ontario from the Prairies and. the towering mountains between the Prairies and British Columbia .might be more vulnerable than more compactly arranged and densely set­ tled countries to the development of sectionalism and frankly I don’t see how this country is ever going to get anywhere unless cohesion develop­ ed to a greater extent than has pre­ vailed in the past except in times of national emergency. I readily see that this prescription of mine is not an easy one—even if in your view a good one—to advo­ cate through a press which must be acutely “location-conscious”. But I really do not see that there should be any real conflict between the two patriotisms, local and national. I firmly believe that the proper interest in local problems can be expanded in­ to a constructive interest in national problems. With the.improvement in commun­ ications, with the linking up of the country by fast air services, with radio, and with better and more com­ plete news services available to your press I think many influences are at work to promote this better sense of national citizenship. I do appreciate the compliment im­ plied by your writing me in this con­ nection and I extend to you and your association my heartiest best wishes for a successful year. Yours truly, FRANK PRENDERGAST, Assistant to the President, Imperial Oil Limited. Toronto. MORE SAVINGS!

Ottawa — The Federal Government turned its guns on the Administration of Premier Maurice Duplessis, of Quebec when Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Minister of Justice, charged the Que­ bec Government was attacking men without giving them an opportunity to defend themselves. It was the first time the powerful forces of the Union Nationale Party had come under the fire of the Federal Administration from the floor of the House of Com­ mons. Famous Bull Dead Guelph — Millhills Ransom; $15,000 Shorthorn bull that occupied a unique position in Ontario politics, died at the Ontario Agricultural College of acute gastritis. Two years ago Hon.
