Canada's Only Woman Member of Parliament Addressed Crowded Houses in Exeter and Seaforth on Saturday Theelectors of South Huron had the opportunty on Saturday of hear- ing the only woman member of the Dominion Parliament, when Miss Ag- nes MacPhail, representative of Southeast Grey, addressed meetings at Exeter in the afternoon and at Seaeforth hi the evening. Associated with Miss MacPhail was Mr. Wm. Irvine, M. P., for Wet, askiwin, Alta., who spoke first. Both spoke in support ;of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Mr. R. J. McMillan, under whose auspices the meetings were held, took the chair at Seaforth and introduced the speakers. In a little introductory speech Mr. Mei Millan said the object of the -gath- erings was to give the people o j South Huron an opportunity of hear- ing the C. C. F. movement explain- ed._ He was not very complim.entrg' to the two old parties, declaring that there were "not enough honest men in the two parties to look after the interests of the country." Mr. Irvine, however, differed slightly. He thought publicmen were fairly honest. "They do the best they know how," he declared. "But I feel that they do not know how very well." He described Miss MacPhail as the "Joan of Arc of the common people of Canada." HUI.LETT 'OWNSHTr The following is the report of S S. No. 10, for. the month of March: Jr. 4th: Ruth Vodden, Beth Gorier, Florence Tungblutt, Pearl Johnston Eleanor Sprung. Sr. 3rd: Rhoda Gooier. Sr. 2nd:. Anna Mae Johnston, Johr Sprung. Jr. 2nd: Fern Yungblutt, Berve Mair. Miss MacPhail spoke of the low rate of farm products and advocaterl the putting into circulation of new money, of boosting prices of farm products, not bringing other costs down to their level. The farmers, she said, had not been able to take advantage of British markets be- cause Canada had dear money and Britain had cheap money and she de- nounced the agricultural stabilization fund, provided for in the recent bud- get, saying that she thought the packing houses would eventually benefit rather than the farmer. She said the little group in the southeast corner of the House of Commons had learned a lot during the past twelve years, as they watch- ed the fascinating game sof politics, while at the same time advocating what they considered to be for the good of Canada. They had had the experience in 1926 of defeating two governments and she claimed that much of the best legislation brought down during the past twelve years had originated in the southeast •cor- ner. She predicted that if the Lib- eral Party did not make a distinct swerve to the left it would go down as it had in Britain. She also said that some- of the backbench Conser- vatives, and even some on the treasury benches, were now alive to the fundamental changes which would have to conte. Jr. 1st: Elva Gooier.

SOME QUETSIONS ASKED .BY SOUTH HURON MEMBER IN LEGISLATURE "From what firms or individuals in Scotland did the Ontario liquor con- trol board buy whiskey or other sup- plies during the last fiscal year? What was the amount and value of the business done with each firm or individual? Who was the Canadian representative in each instance and what commissions did .,each Cana- dian representative receive?. What were the gross sales fromthe follow- ing liquor stores during the last fis- cal year, Woodstock, Brantford; Par- is? What was the total cost of lea administration ?" every home in' the province, and at Ottawa, the 'erection of new office buildings for the government, The government now pays more in ren- tals than -it would cost to erect new buildings, she claimed. "The Dominion government today should make no attempt to balance its budget. If it had the courage to launch a great program of public works, in a `short time, almost the total cost of the works in the first place would come back to the gov- ernment in revenue resulting from the increased business turnover." Ninety-six per cent. of the cur- rency in Canada—not only in circul- ation, .but in being—,is controlled by the chartered banks, Miss MacPhail told her audience. No group of pee-, ple has the right to draw on the`cre- dit of all the Canadian • people, and charge them seven to ten per cent for the privilege, she declared. Since the attention of the govern- ment must be turned to the consump- tion of goods, the government must get a new idea of federal taxes, she continued. Taxes should not be lev- ied on the slender pocketbooks of the masses, but should be levied on ac- cumulated wealth. The many nuis- ance taxes but served tc decrease the purchasing power of the people, she said, when the only solution is in- creased purchasing power. Miss Macphail declared that the C.C.F., is firmly in favor of heavier inheritance taxes. Miss MacPhail explained the com- mencement of the C.C.F. movement, when Mr. Woodsworth called a meet- ing to discuss the forging of "an in- strument which could be placed in the hands of the Canadian people if they desired to use it." "It would be difficult to imagine a group of lees political ambition," the speaker said, "than the group which had been res- ponsible for the formation of the C.C.F." HOLMESVII LE Mrs. Win, Potter spent the week end with Miss Francie Potter. Mrs. Melllwain spent a few days with her sister, Mrs. H. J. Trewar- tha.

A', held their Easter meeting in the home of Mrs. J. Oudn ere on Tuesday afternoon. The first vice-president, Mrs. Walter was in charge of a very interesting program. After the devotional ex- ercises, Mrs. Wm. Jervis gave . a reading, entitled, "The Easter Mes- sage:" Miss Reta Cudmore favored the meeting with a solo, "The Old Rugged Cross"; Mrs. Eldrid Yeo,. contributed a reading, "Three Days Apart." also Mrs. Barrie 'Walter, a reading, "By Way of The Cross." Mrs. Edgar. Trewartha and • Rev. Mr. Herbert led in prayer. Mrs. Wm. Yeo gave .a helpful reading a- bout "Miriam's Flowers,' followed by a short talk from the pastor. Misses Dell Finlay and Elva Proc- tor sang a duet. Mrs. Walter told a very impres- sive story of "How Sam Mason Dis- covered Easter"; the secretary, Mrs. J.

SEAFQRTH: Rev. T. P. Hussey pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Kin - kora according to announcement made by His Excellency Right Rev. J. T. Kidd, Bishop of London, will become pastor of the Catholic Church, Seaforth, on the last Sunday in Ap- ril. Father Hussey has been in charge of the Kinitora Church for the past twenty years, going there from Petrolia, Mackenzie King had made the statement that if the C.C.F. ever got into power, all private property would cease to be, Miss Macphail said. "If I thought that he thought so, I would have a great deal less re- spect for his intelligence than I have. Any person who says that our little group in the southeast corner would take over every little business and run it from Ottawa must think that we like work." "As Bill Irvine often remarks when people are producing below cost, it would be a fool government that would stop them." The C.C.F. had been accused of be. ing in the pay sof Moscow. In scout- ing that suggestion, Miss Macphail humorously defined the C.C.F. as "earnest and serious-minded Cana- dians who are such fools that they are spending time and energy to teach you people to mind your owr business." She scoffed at the advice of those in high places, that the way out of the depression lies through hard work and thrift. E. W. Beatty, president of the C.P.R., had been one of the advocates of that remedy, she recal- led. Thrift and hard work simply meant adding to the surplus of goods and refusing to take anything from it, "It's not a job sof hard work and thrift, but a job of learning to con- sume the goods we abundantly pro- duce. The power to consume goods at the rate we produce them is the only solution anyone can see. All federal policy should be directed to- ward increasing the purchasing arc consuming power of the people." Miss Macphail outlined the steps which she felt should be taken tc bring about this condition. First on the program was the es- tablishment of a national bank—a people's bank — placing complete control of the volume of currency 'in Canada in the hands of the govern- ment. This control should never have been allowed out 'of the hands of the state, she maintained. Secondly, she would "pull ths. teeth" of the Bank Act, and the na• tionalization of the larger insurance companies was a move which she considered due. Nationalization of the insurance companies would prob- ably mean fewer $75,000 -a -year jobs, but there' would be just as much work for the little fellows, she claim- ed. Another ,plank in her platform it an extensive program of public worl' to be undertaken by the • Federal Government. Those who say, at this time, that the Federal government should economize, are off the track, Miss MacPhail contended. The Fed- eral government can, and should create money, without interest char- ges against it, and withthat money, it should launch a program of ptiblir works, she asserted. 'Two ; works which,she felt could be underteken,at: once 'ate the laying of power lines to LONDESBORO The regular meeting of the Wo- man's Institute was held in Com- munity hall 'on Tuesday, April 4th, with the president, Mrs. E. Adams, presiding. Meeting opened by sing- ing opening ode with Mrs. T. Pickett at the piano and the Lord's prayer; repeated in unison. Minutes were read by the secretary, Mrs. B. Bruns - don, Financial report was given by the treasurer, Mrs. H. Adams, which was encouraging. Several letters were read, thanking the Institute for flowers or fruit sent to sick ones, Several communications were read asking for assistance in various ways, but owing to having the mis- fortune a year ago of having the community hall burnt, it was thought advisable to use surplus cash at home The summer speaker, which was tc visit the Institute about the 1st of June, has been cancelled by the de- partment. The Blyth and Belgr'ave branches had been invited to meet with this branch to hear the speaker so other plans had to be made. Af- ter all business was concluded the program was left in charge of the girls, it being girl's day, Miss 'B. Fairserviee presiding. A reading was given by Miss L. Young consist- ing of several short poems. Miss G. Mountain gave an instrumental and Miss 'B. Fairservice a humorous read/ ing. A playlette. "Henry's Mail Order Wife," was given by six of the girls, showing "Henry" in a very bad pre- dicament, this was very amusing and was fully enjoyed by those present. When this very enjoyable program was brought to a close, a most tempt- ing lunch was served by the girls to seventy present. Mr. Murray. Fingland of Cochrane and Mr. Frank Fingland . of Clinton spent the week -end with their par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
