Anyone who fondly imagined that, Canada had somehow got shifted a- bout into the Banana Belt and that Old Man Winter would no more' visit ''this favoured clime, 'has 'had a rude awakening the past ten days or 'so • Better always prepare for the worst, even, while hoping for the best; • where a Canadian winter is concern-. ,..ed: • s 4 King George has again asbonishec --the people by getting out on a lake at Sandringham House and cutting -some fancy figures on the ice with his skates. It was not generally ' known he had ever been able to skate, and no one suspected he kept up the • accomplishment at his age.—Globe. A lot of us might astonish our ' friends in the same way, if we'd take the risk. ' a . s . The Provincial Legislature opened yesterday in Toronto. It might not . be .out of the way to suggest that an economy is necessary one way to • have the peoples' money would be tc get right down to business and waste as little time as possible, as time is money when it comes to parliamen• try sessions. This goes for' the op- position as well as for the Govern- ment, as a contentious opposition can waste more time than it is worth, if it takes the notion. What is the u▪ se of having all the gold in the world when you cannot • use it? Here's the State of Michi- - gan closing all its banks and trust companies for eight days, presum- ably owing to sense lack of funds, while the coffers at Washington are bulging with gold. Miss MacPhail, er somebody will have to come along • with a new system of managing fin- ancial affairs. Why cannot the United States Government print a lot of new money, if that is what is needed? They have the gold to ' 'back it up. e s . . Some 'objection has been made to the arrangement by which rural communities will elect one member to the Legislature for each 25,000 persons, while urban representation is fixed at 50,000. But Tho News - Record has on more than one occa- sion contended that such an arrange• ment is the only equitable one. Po, pulation in cities is more or loss floating; there is always a propor- tion that is anything but fixed, while the rural population is more station- ery. In Huron County, for instance many of the residents are still me copying the farms which their grand fathers chopped out of the forest These people are likely to know what they want and are not likely to hr willing to support freak legislation legislation detremental to the best interests of the country. To say that the vote of such residents is worth twice as much as that of the helter- skelter vote of the cities, which is here today and gone tomorrow, is putting it quite mildly. ✓ s s • While it may be pretty generally conceded that the seats in the Pro- • vincial Legislature should be cut dawn, also that the Dominion Par liament might get along just as well and manage the affairs of the coun- try just as efficiently with fewer members, still the process of cutting is not going to be acceptable to all. The Government in power at such a time is bound to be blamed for fav- oring its own friends, for strength- -ening its own strongholds 'and weak. ening those of the opposition. And there may be something in it; -fact the temptation is so strong that it may be well nigh impossible not to yield to it to some extent, and it may be taken for granted that those who complain the loudest are the' ones who would countenance the same sort of behaviour .an the part of their own party in .the same peel - But in going over the list of likely changes there does not seen' to be such overwhelming Signs of such manipulation, although no doubt there would be complaint unless the Government had left all opposition seats entact and made the slash al together amongst its own supporters. This, however, would be almost tee. • much to expect from faulty human- ity. . • s The county council has cancelled the long-standing regulation under 'Which smoking during Dee meetings of the council was barred. ''We ..feel something should be said about 'this 'netting up of a smoke screen over the deliberations of the council; hu' as the lady editor of The Clinbom News -Record can deal with a matter 'like this better than a mere man wr are waiting to see if she won't; say something that will cover' the case. —The Goderich Signal Oh, We' duly noted the fact the the Huron County Council members had gone back 'to the pipe during sessions, but we didn't mention it. -Feet is, we thought if those poor, da:z sed men could "think better while. puffing smoke, let them go to it. Ever hear about the old lady whc. was asked if she believed in womer voting? This was years ago, oe course. This lady wasa particularly energetic, capable woman, one who looked well to the ways of her house- hold and could be 'depended upon to carry through any project she under- took, As she bustled about her work she made answer: "No, I don't want to vote, If there's one leettle, teeny, thing that nienfollis can do alone, fo: goodnesssake let them do it!" So, as the work of thecounty coun- cil is work which; so far, men seem to think they can do alone,if they imagine they can do it batter while' blowing rings' of smoke, (after all, perhaps the masculine brain gets clogged up, it often seems to work slowly, and needs a, bit of heat to loosen it up), why, we'd be the last to deny them such needed aid. "THE BISHOP WHO ATE HIS BOOTS" A picturesque figure in the eccles- iastical world is Archbishop J. Strin- ger, Metrosiolitan of the Eccles- iastical Province of Ruperts Land, or otherwise known as "the bishop who ate his boots." Rugged as the north country in which he served for over forty years, and standing over sial feet tall, His Grace presents a striking figure. The episode of the boots occurred in 1909 when he,, a- long with an assistant, lost their was and rations ran aut. The episode is gleaned' from entries in his journal, which are as follows: "Sunday, Oc- tober 17, travelled 15 miles. Made supper on toasted rawhide sealskin boots. Palatable. Feel encouraged!, "October 18—Travelled all day. Ate pieces of my sealskin boot, boiled and toasted, for supper. Used sole first , . , . Set rabbit snare," October 19 No rabbit in snare. Breakfast and dinner of rawhide sole. Also a tiny bit of ptarmigan each." "October 20 —Breakfast from top of boot, Not sr good as sole." "October 21—Boot soles and tops. Soups of small scrap of bacon and spoonful of flour, The last we had. Very tired." - NEWFOUNDLAND OPEN TO BIDS FOR PURCHASE OF LABRADOR Ottawa, Feb. 13.—The Government of Newfoundland is prepared to study any proposition Canada may advance for the purchase of Labrador, it was shown in correspondence read to tin House of Commons today by Prime Minister Bennett. The Prime Minister read from a photostat copy of a letter addressed by Premier Alderdice of Newfound- land to Joseph de Champlain of St John's Need,: "If the Government oe the Dominion 'of Canada is prepared to open negotetions for the purchase of Labrador. I shall be ;pleased tc place ally proposition in this connec- tion before my colleagues." Another photostat copy sof a letter addressed by J. C. Puddestor, New- foundland Secretary of State, to Mr. de Champlain, read, in part: "The Government will consider any con- crete proposal that you may bring' to them during the next sixty days." It was dated' Oct. 13, 1932. The Ietters were produced by the Prime Minister in reply to a question by Armand Lavet;gne, Deputy Speak- er of the House. He said no com- munications, official or 'otherwise, har' passed between the Canadian and' Newfoundland Governments dealing with the union of the two Dominions Labrador was awarded to New- foiindland by the Privy 'Council some years ago. It is a large territory extending along the eastern coast of, Quebec, fronting the Atlantic Ocean "GERM" PASSENGERS START LONG VOYAGE When the Canadian National freighter "Canadian .Constructor" cast off her mooring' cables recently at Montreal and set her course for the far off Antipodes, there were a jolly lot of little "passengers" who are making the long voyage to Aus- tralia, In a scientific sense they be- long to a family who are the blue of the blue blood but to the general public they are just plan meningitis germs. They have "cabins" exclus- ively to themselves in the shape of cases, tins, glasses and jars. The germs hail from the Rockefeller in- stitute in New York and they are consigned to the Commonwealth Ser- um Laboratory in Melbourne, Am; traria, where they will,be used in making serum, and thus take their place -in the battle against disease. Due to the heavy mortality in pre- vious shipments,' investigations wero carried on to secure a more expedi' tious way of 'getting the little fellows to their destination and the Canadian National Steamships line was decid- ed upon. The master of the Cana- dian Constructor will have the germs in his custody throughout the long Voyage, although he will makethem keep to themselves and will not,, toler- ate any familiarity.

Settle day night. "At the same time," said Mr. Fraser. "railroads in this country represent the greatest in- dustry and opportunity for devoted public service. Without the rail- ways there can be no Canada; there could have been no Canada and I urge you not to forget that fact. Pay no attentionto the prophets of gloom and above all, don't let them destroy your railroads. If you do it will be a disaster for generations to come.

Some farmers say that another year like 1932 will bankrupt every Agriculturalist. Thir goes for Industry and 'Commerce az well including newspaper publishing. The only difference between the bankrupts will be that the Agricul- turalist will "have the advantage of knowing haw to get something to eat out of the wreck.—Mitchell Ad- vocate." The above paragraph appeared in your issue of Feb. 2nd on the back page, lower right hand corner. For many centuries the farmer has been considered the lowest and most insignificant in the social scale, and very few people have given very much thought or consideration to the far- mer's importance in the social sys- tem. However the farmer produces two at least, of the most important com- modities known to the human race and these commodities or necessit- lee are food and clothing, usually in the raw state of course. And in the evolution of mankind from the hun- ter or nomadic condition farming was the first to emerge, and all eth- er trades and professions are in real- ily anti in the economic sense envie adjuncts of farming and absolutely dependent either directly or indirect- ly on agriculture. And so it follows most logically that all industry and commerce mus{ render a service to the 'farmer at a price that the farmer can afford to pay, and while this price is in civil- ized terns expressed in money, i': really means how much farm pro- duce can the farmer afford to ex- change for the services of commerce and industry? If industry and commerce demand too much farm produce, then thr farmer cannot afford their services. and there is a depression, the causes of which are High Tariffs, which prohibited the farmer not only from exchanging his surplus produce for foreign manufactures, but give the home manufacturers the power tc demand more farm produce from the farmer than they were rightfully en- titled to. Then the building of railways ane cities, colleges and high schools, de. mended ferns produce for which in- sufficient service was rendered it return. Then luxuries such as the automo- bile and radio came into being ani) took away more farm produce for which no adequate return was mach Then the Great War entailed great debts expressed in terms 'of money of course absorbed 'still niece fern - produce, and one day the world fount' itself in the throes ,of a depression and the values of farm produce as expressed in terms of money, collaps- ed and this condition demanded the. the farmer 'had to give from tw/ to five times more farm produce in adjustment of his debts and running expenses than he did formerly. Log' ically he should have produced more but the great forces of nature which are beyond our control did not allow us to speed up production. So eve are in the throes of a de- pression not the first that mankind has faced since his coming to this earth, depressions 'have visited man from time to time since life began. All civilizations have had them they passed after a time as this will pass after a time, but former de- pressions 'have not passed smoothly and often when they had passed there was only ruined cities left behind mute monuments to man's construc- tire ability and to his shortsighted- ness. This civilization 'has probably reached a higher place in the way of scientific achievement than any pre- ceeding it, still. like all others pre- eeeding it has failed, and failed miser- ably, to make certain that Agricul- ture kept pace in growth and im- provement with 'the cities, in order that there might 'be a regular supply of food and clothing and a market for all the products of Commerce and Industry. So, the only way out of this depres- sion is to lower the tariffs.: to the ground, write off 'the debts amid' put a Poultry, Eggs, Cream ALL THE YEAR ROUND FOR CASH AT THE CLINTON POULTRY HOUSE N. W.
