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. ' Board which sponsors the Parliament as well as bei • guests ox the Rotary CIub at their annual Father, and Son Banquet in the King Edward Hotel. 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. ! 11-1411 Sohnat 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. r 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. Weekly Market Report TORONTO. Manitoba wheat—No. 1 'Northern, $1.1014.
