THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. 19e6
THE NICKEL. AGITATION.
Present-day Governments apparently
won't listen to anybody, snd the Toron-
to"World" is therefore trying out the
Opposition; being apparently unaware
that under cur present constitution
Oppositions (unfortunately it appears
in the present instance) can do little
beyond urging the Government towards
a desired end or by acting as a brake
on governmental extravagance.
The World's efforts to link Mr, N.
W. Rowell, the Leader of the Opposition
in the Ontario Legislature, with the
nickel trust were completely frustrated
by an editorial in the Toronto "Star”
of August 24th. The attitude of Mr.
Rowell is as clear as daylight; and the
World's comments in its issue of the
25th on the action taken by the Liberal
leader in the House last session are
mere drivel.
The World cannot conduct its cam-
paign against the nickel interests with-
out introducing politics into it. Its view-
point is so warped that it must include
the Dominion and Provincial Opposition
leaders in its indictment of the Govern-
ments in power. And it does not relish
the "Star” coming up to windward and
snatching the wind from its edits in
pointing out where Mr. Rowell stands
on the nickel question.
In its endeavour to come up in the
a+ind again the World harps about
"agreements between political parties
for years back." This journal has to
generalize when approaching the record
of the humored Liberal chieftain in
Ontario. It says, "you run up against
'leaders of the opposition' who are just
as friendly to the International (Nickel)
Company as are Governments in office."
If the World has not succeeded in
rousing the Government by next session
it will see where Mr. Rowell scores;
and no doubt Mr. Carter, of Guelph,
has a good supply of ammunition; and
he bas a reputation for making hits
too. Rowell, Carter & Co. have had
the Sleepers in the Ontario Cabinet
rubbing their eyes for some time now.
Tney will wake up, perhaps, when it is.
too late.
To all intents and purposes the
World is agitating for what Mr. Rowell
has already demanded on the floor ot
the House — government control of
nickel. Is the journal nervous lest its
principal news item and editorial stand
by should have to be thrown over-
board?
The "Star" pointed out how, after
ascertaining from the Goveanment that
the Canada Copper Company (a sub-
sidiary company of the International
Nickel Co.) had paid only $40,000 in
taxes last year instead of $400,000 im•
posed by The Mining Tax Act, Mr.
Carter (Lib. mem. for S. Wellington)
detnanded the correspondence between
the Government and the Nickel Com-
panies. It transpired that Mr. Hearst
had made a verbal agreement with the
company in question for a flat rate of
$40,000 taxes for five years. Mr,
Rowell exposed the fact that there was
no provision in the Act authorizing the
Government to make such an agree-
ment, and this was admitted by Premier
Hearst. Liberal members berated the
Government for overstepping their
authority and asked if they would not
take steps to secure the province's
share of the tremendous profits made
by this company. The answer from
Mr. Ferguson (Minister of Mines) was
that it would be "difficult." And yet
he could make such a promise during
the S. W. Toronto bye -election when
there were doubts whether the official
ship could weather the storm.
The Liberals then introduced the
following resolution, which was voted
down by the Government:—
"That in the opinion of this House
the production and sale of nickel in the
province should be under government
control, and that negotiationsshould be
at once entered into by the Government
of this Province with the Government
of the Dominion of Canada and the
Government of the United Kingdom to
secure united action to acquire the
absolute control of the nickel mines and
nickel product of the Province of
Ontario."

Mr, and Mrs. Thos. Archibald, Wal-
ton, Ontario, announce the engage«
meut of their daughter, Mary Margaret
(Mayme), to Roy C. Turvey, only son of
Mr. and Mrs. George 13• Turvey, Blue-
vale. Ontario, the marriage to take
place late in September.
M. Y. and Mrs Farrow and daugh-
ters, Myrtle and Mabel, have been holi-
daying in Bluevale and locality with
relatives and old friends. They made
the trip in Mr. Farrow's Chevrolet
car. He is a former old boy of this
locality and Mrs. Yarrow's parental
home is also in Morris, she being a
Miss Geddes. Mr. Farrow is a mail
clerk, his run being from Collingwood
to Toronto and return. They were
welcome visitors.
The community was shocked on Friday
eaening last when it was learned that
Anna May Davidson, only daughter of
Mi. and Mrs. Walter Davidson of Morris
had passed away. The deceased young
lady was in her 18th year and was
visiting with her grand parents at
Wroxeter and was taken suddenby ill
with appendicitis on Tuesday night of
last week. An operation was performs d
in the hope of saving her life. Mrs.
Davidson was highly esteemed by a
large circle of friends and her death is
deeply regreted• The bereaved parents
and other relatives will have the sincere
sympathy of the community in their be-
reavement. The funeral on Sunday
afternoon to the Bluevale cemetery was
one of the longest ever seen in the
village. The services were conducted
by Revs. Tate and Thompson, of Blue.
vale.
The Red Cross Garden Party held in
Bluevale oil Friday afternoon and even-
ing last was a gratifying success. The
weather was ideal and after the steady
work ot harvesting for many weeks the
farmers were just in the right mood to
enjoy an outing. The lawns and flowers
at the new school were looking their
best and the spacious grounds proved to
be splendidly adapted for a large gather-
ing. At night when the scene was
illuminated by the soft glow of the
Chinese lanterns it made a charming
picture. The total proceeds amounted
to $197.00 and this makes a record for a
garden party in Bluevale. As expenses
were comparatively small the Women's
Institute will have a large sum with
which to carry on their patriotic work
during the coming season.
The feature of the day was the ladies'
baseball match between the Gorrie and
Bluevale girls. The game was called
about five o'clock by Umpire R. A.
Currie of Wingham and was witnessed
by a large throng of enthusiastic spec-
tators. Not having been organized this
season the Bluevale team had no hope
of winning but after a disastrous open-
ing which piled up the score against
them they succeeded in holding their
own and the game provided the best of
entertainment for the onlookers. The
score of 26-13 represents a victory of
two to one in favor of Gorrie but the
Gorrie girls were gentlemanly opponents
and the best of feeling prevailed
throughout. The line-up was as
follows:—

After supper by the kindness of local
and visiting motorists the two baseball
teams were taken for an enjoyable
automobile ride.
Supper was served by a busy staff of
waiters until the generous supply of
eatables had been exhausted and during
the evening an excellent programe was
rendered with Mr. Robt. Black in the
chair. Addresses were given by the
local pastors and by the Rev. Mr. Kane
of Londesboro who proved to be a
vigorous and ready speaker. Mr. John
Wilburn, who recently returned from
training camp in England gave an excel-
lent talk on Military experiences. Mise
Jean Vannorman and Mr. Weir Elliot
of Wingham delighted the audience L.
their solos and duet, "Excelsior" an..
another charming number was a duet
in costume, "Take me back to Old To-
ronto Fair" by two little girls, Jean
Black and Margaret Garniss. A very
pleasing feapne of this garden party
was the hearty co-operation received
from all Classes in the community show-
ing that the endeavors of the Women's
Institute have the warm approval of
the public. Such generous support
makes their work a pleasure,
