Third. Ontario Older Boys'
One of the most remarkable..P r-
liaments in the world has just con-
vened in the city of Toronto, It was
a Parliament of boys, for boys and
by boys, with adults relegated to the
background and used only for the
purpose of advice and counsel. For;
once youth felt free to frankly ex-{
press itself and to act as it saw fit; ,
for once the domination of the adult
viewpoint was ooirspicuous by its ab-
sence, and for once youth felt it had
a responsibility to work out its own
salvation.
The Parliament was made up of 86
boys ranging from 16 to 20 years of
age, who came from all parts of the
province. •
Travelling expenses were pooled, so
that the representative from Sault
Ste. Marie did not pay more than a
Member from Toronto, and amounted
to $7.52,
The Parliament aimed at fitting
boys for Christian democracy through
affording a means of self-government.
One of its principal objectives was
also to enlist the co-operation of older
boys in the promotion of the Trail
Ranger and Tuxis Boys' programs,
the aim of which is to develop the
four -fold life of boys.
Alan. VanEvery, the Leader of the
Ahmek Party, was elected Premier at
the opening Caucus and immediately
formed a government from the ranks
of the Members of his party.
Claude Gunther was elected Leader
of the Opposition and made up that
body from the ranks of the Advance
Party.
The Parliament deviated in no un-
certain way at times from the usual,
and particularly so when the Premier
formed his Cabinet of the best men of
both parties. In fact it might be said
that Party practices were only fol-
lowed in so far as they contributed,f
toward the good of • the cause, which
was the welfare of boy life. Party!
Whips were conspicuous by their ab-;
sense. Members voted according to'
the dictates of their conscience. The
Government did not resign when a
Bill was defeated. The Premier and
the Leader of the Opposition worked
"hand in glovefe, His Majesty's Loyal
Opposition became the Government's
Loyal Cooperators. Everything was
fhade subservient to the one objective
and that was getting the job done.
The Member appointed by the Pre-
mier as Speaker of the House was
Al. Smith of North Huron, who dis-
charged the rather heavy responsi-
bilities of this office in a very admir-
able fashion.
The Members of the Cabinet were
as follows
Minister of Intellectual Life, Howe
Martyn, Stratford.
Minister of Physical Life, Gordon
G bmmings, London.
Minister of Devotional Life, Earl
Lautenslager, Kitchener and Water-
loo.
Minister of Social Life, Arthur
Samson, Algoma District.
Minister of Finance, Robert E.
Rourke, • Stormant.
Minister of Organization, Gordon
Lapp, East Northumberland.
Minister of Community and District
Co-operation, Meredith Thompson,
Hamilton.
Minister of Badge Work, James
Grimmon, Prince Edward.
Minister without portfolio, Calvert.
Rea, West Bruce.
Provincial Secretary, Irwin Ras -
lett, Ottawa.
One of the most heated discussions
of the House took place in connection
with increasing Toronto's representa-
tion from eight to twelve and only
after a very thorough -going discus-
sion did it get by the House.
Discussions of the House illustrated
that the Members felt that there were
three main problems facing boys'
worts to -day: (1) Securing and train-
ing of an adequate type of leadership.
(2) Securing of funds to promote co-
operative Trail Ranger and Tuxis
Boys' work throughout the province,
and (3) Need for a better four -fold
training in the local group with more
emphasis being placed on the recogni-
tion of achievement through the form
of badges.
The Members were the recipient of,
formal welcomes from the municipal-
ity of Toronto and the Government of
Ontario and were also entertained for.
luncheon by the Ontario Boys' Work.

Those who have studied the Par-
liament closely feel that it was a
great success. It has proved that it
is a better plan to work with boys!
than for boys; that to give boys al
sense of proprietorship in a given;
movement was to share with them ink
the responsibilities. From the stand-'
point of securing the actual viewpoint
of the boys, it was invaluable.
The Parliament will meet again on
Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, December 26th, 27th,
29th, 30th and 31st, .1924.
NURSERY STOCK FOR
SIBERIA FRU1T FARMS
New Brunswick Man to Try
Horticultural Work for the
Soviet Government.
A despatch from Fredericton, N.B.,.
says:—Roscoe Fillmore, formerly
manager of a fruit farm at Burton,
Sunbury county, will take his family,
consisting of his wife and four chil-
dren, and probably some other resi-
dents of New Brunswick who want to
try life under the Russian Soviets,
along with him when he goes back to
the Province of Tomsk, Siberia, about
the end of next month.
Mr. Fillmore, who recently return-
ed from Russia, where he went about
a year ago to carry on demonstration
and experimental work in connection
with horticulture and agriculture, is
also taking with him a collection of
seedlings and nursery stock for ex-
perimental horticultural work for the
Soviet Government in Siberia.
A contract has been awarded for
the erection of a seed extraction build-
ing at Fredericton, N.B., to be used.
in connection with the re -seeding of
forest lands. It is anticipated that
the demand for seed from this plant
will, in a few years, necessitate the
building of an extensive addition to
take care of not only provincial but,
outside requirements as well.

HANDICAP ON CANADA'S EXPORT FLOURTRADE TEMPORARILY REMOVED
A despatch from Ottawa says.
Discriminatory rates on shipments of
Canadian flour to the United ; King..
dom have beenremoved temporarily,
and ettorts are being put forth to
make he change permanent, it was'
announced at the Department of
Trade and' Commerce.,
For severaldiscriminato y
ears a
y �'
rate averaging about five cents per •.
hundred pounds or ten cents per bare
rel "has been charged upon all ocean
shipments of Canadian flour to the
United Kingdom in excess of the rate
applied to similar shipments from thea
United States. For several years the;
quantity of Canadian flour shipped tol
the United Kingdom has been on the
increase while United States ship-
ments 'have declined. Removal of the
surcharge will, it is believed, still fur-
ther strengthen the Canadian trade.
Ron. T. A. Lowe, Minister of Trade;
and Commerce, gave consideration to
this matter shortly after assuming{
office: As a result of representations'
made by the Canadian flour trade,
Canadian representatives at the Im-
perial .Economie Conference brought
up the question • and it was referred.
to the Imperial Shipping Committee
for action. As. a result the extra
charge has been suspended and the.
Imperial Shipping Committee is con-
sidering the advisability of making
the suspension permanent. The Do-
minion's interests in the matter are
being pressed by the Canadian High
Commissioner who is being kept in-
formed through the Department of
Trade and Commerce of Canadian de-
velopments.
Levelling of the rates on Canadian.
flour shipments, it is claimed by de-
partmental officials, will act as a tonic
to the trade and will benefit western
grain growers, the railways and Can-
adian Atlantic ports. Suspension of
the surcharge, it is estimated, will
mean an approximate reduction of
two cents a bushel on the wheat cost
basis.
Builder of Eiffel Tower
to be Buried Under Same
A despatch from Paris says:. --
Gustave Eiffel, noted French engineer,
who died recently at the age of ninety-
one, will be buried eventually under
the tower bearing his name.
The great skeleton structure, a
thousand feet high, built as one of
the attractions of the 1900 exposition,
owes its prolonged life to wireless
telegraphy. After the structure had
lost its value as an attraction, Paris
began to ask for its destruction.
Then wireless came and the tower
was found to be just the thing for
a wireless station,
According to popular belief, the
tower saved France during the first
Battle of the Marne. Interception of
wireless orders sent to Von Muck's
army is credited with having given
the first news of the movement that
enabled the French to outflank Von
Kluck.
Britain's Youngest M.P.
Won Notable Party Victory
A despatch from London says:—
The youngest member of Parliament
is the Hon. Charles Arthur Uryan
Rhys, 24, who won the Romford di-
vision of Essex far the Conservative
party in the last election. He will
occupy the seat formerly held by Capt.
A. E. Martin, LIoyd George Liberal,
whose majority of 4,000 he converted
into a Tory majority of 4,476 in a
three -cornered contest.
Rhys is the eldest son and heir of
Lord and Lady Dynevor and has had
no political experience. He entered
his name for the candidacy only a few
days before nominations. Joining the
Grenadier Guards in 1918, his youth
debarred him from taking part in the'
war, but on becoming eligible for for-
eign service he volunteered to go to'.
northern Russia, where he won the'
military cross and a Russian decora-
tion.

SWITZERLAND TO HAVE
EXHIBIT AT 1924 FAIR.
Space Allotted in International
Building at Canadian
National Exhibition.
A despatch from Toronto says:—
Switzerland is to have an exhibit at
the 1924 Canadian National Exhibi-
tion, while a number of other foreign
countries have also made tentative
proposals to Managing Director John
G. Kent for space at the Big Fair
this year.
Dr, Huebscher, the Swiss Consul -
General for Canada, recently accom-
panied Mr. Kent on a tour of the
grounds, and decided to take a liberal
space allotment in the International
Building, subject to the approval of
his government. Formal instructions
to complete arrangements were re-
ceived by cable -on Thursday, and a
space occupying 106 feet frontage has
been reserved.
There are a number of leading
Swiss firms now doing business in
Canada, and it is expected that they
will join with their Government in
making the exhibit en outstanding
one.
The exhibit is to have a real Swiss
atmosphere, and will take the form of
a chalet, with the Alps for a back-
ground. If the display is a success,
the government indicates a willing-
ness to later erect a national building
on the ground of typical Swiss archi-
tecture.
Extensive development work, in-
creased mill capacity and the opening
up of the new Quebec gold field, fea-
tured the mining situation in Canada
during 1923. It is estimated that the
value of production in 1923 was ap-
proximately $214,000,000, or about
$35,000,000 over that in 1922. Only
once in the history of the country has
this mark been exceeded, and that in
1920 by only $13,000,000.
