It isnot until one realizes that the procedures which have been evolved through the years, were designed for just such a purpose, that one be able to see the pattern take shape. Each day that passes brings added light on what, at the beginning, appeared to be only confusion, Canada's Position Canada. today occupies•a posi- tion far removed from that which it knew at the time of Confedera- tion some 82 years ago, Ottawa, its Capital, now plays host to the great of many nations. During the past fortnight, for instance, four foreign secretaries were here officially, not only to pay their respects, but to discuss affairs of state, including those of Italy, Belgium, France and Mr. Ernest Bevip of Britain, This week the Prime Minister' of India visited Ottawa. Ottawa as the Capital of a country has always\had prominent visitors, but it is only in the last decade that so many persons directing the affairs of their na- tions and renowned in world councils, have come to Ottawa, not only to pay courtesy calls di" APPLE SATURDAY, OCT. 29 "Invest in Good Canadian Citizenship" Halloween Party, Oct. 31' On Monday evening, October 31, at 7 o'clock thele will be a Hallowe'en Party and some form of entertaniment for all the children of the.

Mr. Sloman receives an award of 8100 for his short story.entitied "Silver Fish" entered under the pseudonym "Marboy." Another( story submitted by Mr. Sloman, entitled "Penset" was given hon- arable mention. One of Mr. Sloman's daughters, 'Lizbeth, presently a student in medicine at University of West- ern Ontario, London, also entered a story but found competition with her father rather difficult. Mrs. D. W. McGibbon, Toren to, convened the (ODE committee for the competition. Eighty-five stories were received, coming from Overheated Stovepipe all parts of the province; After a preliminary review of the.

He has a wonderful record of service bringing knowledge and interest to the children and adults who live along the tracks. He is the but to transact business and to consult with Canadian leaders. The reason is that Canada has become vastly more important among the nations of the world, that statesmen are personally dealing directly with each other, and that our ministers and offic- ials in Ottawa axe valued as rep- resentatives of an influential people and for their assistance in international consultations. "Constitutional" Session The Session thus far has been concerned, to a considerable ex- tent, with constitutional matters which arose coincident with the growth of the Nation to an out- standing world power. This has resulted in much of the discus- sions being of a legal nature, which does not produce that general interest that so frequent- ly features sessions of parliament. The constitutional changes en- I visaged in the legislation involve no redistribution of powers be- tween the national and provincial governments that would in any way add to or subtract from the powers of the provinces. What has been proposed by Mr. St. Laurent is that (1) appeals to the Privy Council should be abolished; (2) the Parliament should amend the constitution in matters of exclusive federal con- cern; and (3) the provinces should meet with the federal government to devise a method of making amendments where their rights are involved. The provinces have been in- vited to a conference to discuss ways to protect their constitu- tional rights by devising a prop- er method of amending the con- stitution when, as happens from time to time, their interests re- quire an amendment. The ques- tion is one which' has received the consideration of parliaments over many years end the desir- ability of the proposals has been agreed to by all parties. There has been, however, some argu- ment as to the procedure that is to be followed in bringing about the chenges. T -B Legislation However, one subject that is of interest, particularly to the farmers of the district, is the resolution introduced by the Minister of Agriculture, Rt. Hon. James G. Gardiner, to provide for compensation to the owners of cattle which, as the result of T.B. tests, were found to be re- aders end were sent to the tank. The terms of the measure provide that it will be retroactive to April 1, 1947. There will be general agreement with the resolution which, it will be recalled, was originally forecast by Mr. Gard- iner last winter, in that it pro- vides compensation to the own- ers of livestock Who through no fault of their own, are placed in the position of sacrificing valu- able stock. This is particularly true since it is unreasonable to expect individual farmers to suf- fer a loss when es a result of that loss the community as a whole benefits through the elim- ination of tuberculosis in the herds of the district. Newfoundland Members Another feature that stems from the decision of Newfound- land, to becbme the tenth Pro- vince of Canada, is the manner in which. the members represent- ing that Province contribute to and participate in the delibera- tions of the House. It has been their task, which they have car- ried out in an admirable fashion, to indicate to Canadians every- where the extent to which New- foundland can contribute to Cap- ada and in turn the problems which we, as their fellow citizens, must face and meet, in that new Province. Virtually an unknown country, in many of its areas the potential value of the new province to Canada cannot as yet be estimat- ed. It is known, however, that the Province is rich in natural resources requiring only develop- ment. The grandeur of its scen- ery and the plentitude of its game and fish assure for it a bright future insofar as the tour- ist is concerned. The discussions are particularly interesting to one who has travelled in New- foundland and who has seen to a 'mitedextent, the conditions there. Canada Savings Bonds In conebtisicn may I remind you that the fourth series of Canada Savings Bonds are now on sale, with every indicaition pointing to an enthusiastic re- sponse by the public. The bonds are well named for they are truly a helpful and effective savings device. And savings, of course, give stability to the in- dividual and to the community. Most people are well aware of the importance of a financial re- serve, a tidy sum set aside "for a rainy day." Most people, too, know that the easiest and best way to acquire such an asset is by regular saving, by putting even a small amount away every week or every month, There is little or nr ou'trrel withthat theory. But there is quite a difference between theory and practice. Canada Savings Bonds provide the answer. A Canada Savings Bond is a worthwhile asset. It is an interest-bearing bond and it is backed by the Government of Canada, which means that it. has durable security, What could be sounder than ,%at? Presentation of the award was made by Mrs. L. L, Slcuce, edu- cational secretary of the Pro- vincial Chapter at ' the semi- annual meeting in Kirkland Lake. luauumumuuumlluumuun noun , " -'' um HIM 110011111111111111111111111 1 111111 11m afternoon, October 15. Smoke was first noticed by the owner, who was plowing in. a nearby field, An alarm was sent to the W.Ingham fire brigade which arrived and managed to b ing the flames under control. The front part of the house and rear kitchen was completely de- stroyed by flames. The Nondsned adjoining the kitchen .and its con- tents were saved by quick efforts of the brigade.
