William Lyon MacKenzie King ten- dered his long expected resignation as prime minister of Canada to the gov- ernor-general ending 21 years, 5 mon- ths and 5,days of service to the crown in that highest political office in the Dominion. He had served 7,829 clays, -the longest of any Commonwealth prime minister. The new prime minister, Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, 66-year-old Quebec lawyer, entered the Cabinet as Just- ice minister in war-time 1941 and Sue- teeded Mr. King in the Liberal lead- ership at the party's national conven- tion last August. A brilliant University career pre- pared Mr, King for his life in public service. He took high honors at the University of Toronto and won fel- lowships which gave him a year each at the University of Chicago and Har- vard. Between times, he worked as a reporter on Toronto newspapers., It was his 14ork as a reporter, and later as a special writer on social con- ditions, which brought hien in 1900 an offer from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, then prime minister, to join Canada's newly-formed Labor Department as deputy minister. In 1908, he became minister of labor, won a seat in the Commons and stepped actively into Canadian political life. He went out of office with the Laurier Government in the 1911 geti- oral election. Sir Wilfrid died -in 1019 and left the badly scattered Liberal fOrceS leaderless, A national convett- tion was called that August and Mr, King, one of four candidates • nooln- ated, won the party leadership. M. He carried the party to power in the 1921 elettiOn and became prime Minister.

It may therefore be necessary to ex- tend the cut for approximately one hour more to accomplish the whole saving. The reason that a two-hour cut alone would probably not give sufficient saving is due to the fact that some load is postponed and therefore the whole saving may not be accomplished in a two-hour period. With few exceptions, the municipal- ities have made remarkable progress in reducing their week-day consump- tion to meet their quota. Some have been more successful than others clue to adopting a superior method of ap- proach. The fact that the quota can be met is sufficient proof of this state- ment. The quota for each municipal- ity was determined on exactly the same basis so that no municipality need 'feel that there is any discrimin- ation. The Regional staff receives the day to day consumption figure and is re- quired to take action where the mun- icipality consistently exceeds their quota, If you will take the action as suggested, the matter of living within a quota may very well be left in your hands. If you are not successful, how- ever, it may be necessary for the Re- gional staff to take action which may not be as satisfactory to you as if you controlled your own affairs. This letter is sent to you so that you may be aware of our 'position, and we solicit your continued earliest ef- forts at a most critical period. Yours very truly, D. G. Ferguson, Regional Manager, Hydro Electric Power Commission Dance at Royal T. You are welcome at the Royal T. every Saturday night for your dancing pleasure from 9.30 to 12.

Further Cuts Necessary If Demand Not Reduced Voluntarily The local demand for hydro is con- sistently over the local quota, and if further cuts are to be avoided more voluntary saving must be made by the domestic consumers, The manufact- urers say that any further saving on their part will affect the working hours and take-home pay, The fol- lowing letter received by the local commission very forcibly speaks for itself. OVER LOCAL QUOTA Large Crowd Present For First Rural Relations Night A successful banquet was held on Friday evening in the Wingham Arm- ouries, when the Chamber of Com- merce, assisted by the Lions and Kins- men Clubs, sponsored their first rural relations night, About 150 were pres- ent from town and surrounding dis- tricts. The President of the Chamber of Commerce, W. T. Cruickshank, was Chairman for the evening, and in a short opening address welcomed all guests, and in particular the farmers. Guests at the head table were intro- duced by John P. McKibbon, while Rhys. Pollock introduced the farmer guests. R, S. Hetherington, K.C., introduc- ed the guest speaker, Hon. Dana Por- ter, Provincial Treas. and Minister of Education, and who until recently had been Minister of Planning and Devel- opment. Mr. Porter delivered a very enlight- ening address, touching on both edhca- tion and planning and development. He said when centres are beginning to realize what is owed to the ffarmers, and what contribution they have made to the development of the country. Some of our greatest intellects have conic from the farh, receiving their early education in the Country schools. During time past three years, 377 new schools have been opened at a cost of $70,000,000.00 The main function of education should be to increase ones capability for assistance and put them in a better position, not only to earn more, but add more to the develop- ment of each community. Planning and development in re- gard to flood control in Western Ont- ario is a long range problem. Con- ditions that give rise to these floods are very complex, and requires deep study. The real damage is likely to be done to the farms with the rich top soil being washed away. Where Conservation authorities have been set up the Government giv- es every assistance. Reestablishing forests is one way to help, this situa- tion, and in the Thames Valley, 20,- 000 acres have been set aside for re- forestration, In reforestration the Government pays the entire cost, plus With Rachel Cavalho half the cost of the land, leaving the The second concert of the present Municipality to pay only half of the series will 'be presented in the Town cost of the property purchased.
