With the tabling of the Turgeon Committee's report in the House ,of Commons, it may be expected that Canada's textile industry will again be brought prominently before the public and debates about the textile tariff . and related matters will en- sue. Without anticipating the text of the report, it may confidently be expected that -it will contain a mass of statistical information gathered from the. Commission's long investiga- tion and that these statistics will fur- nish' arguments to both free-traders and protectionists. Valuable as such arguments may be, it is to be hoped that they will not obscure what may be called the human side of the textile industry. That side is represented by the.fig- ures of the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics showing the number of,persons employed and the wages and salaries paid by Canadian primary textile •in- dustries, In 1935, the latest year for"which complete statistics are available, Canada's primary textile industries employed 63,441 persons, paying them $50,586,592 in salaries and wages. If the conservative estimate of two de- pendents for each employe be taken, this means that employment in prim- ary textile production supports di- rectly more than 190,000 Canadian citizens. Cotton textiles, with 20,103 workers, or about 60,000 dependents, are the Largest single group. It is difficult to visualize 190,000 persons, except by comparison with known centres of population. For ex- ample, the figure is more than double that of the population of the smallest province, Prince Edward Island, esti- mated at 92,000 in 1936. If the in- dustry were centralized in one place, that plac4 would rank fifth among Canadian cities, according to 1931 census figures, falling between Win- nipeg, with a population of 218,785 and Hamilton, with a population of 155,547. The textile population ex- ceeds the combined population of the next two largest cities of the Prairie Provinces, Calgary and Edmonton. If the cities of Saskatchewan are taken for purposes of comparison, the com- bined populations of Regina, Saska- toon, Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, North Battleford and Swift Current fall, short of the population directly dependent on the textile industry. In Ontario, the combined populations of Ottawa and London, exceed the tex- tile ;copulation by only 7,000. It may be that one reason for the textile industry's having been a poli- tical football for many years is the fact that the families it supports are not concentrated in one city or; one political constituency. While certain large cities, such as Montreal and Hamilton, have large and important textile mills, essentially textile man- ufacture is e. small town industry, The latest directory of the industry lists 474 establishments and c every y province except Prince Edward Is- land and Saskatchewan, is represent- ed. In small cities and towns, such as Magog and Valleyfield, in Quebec, Milltown in New Brunswick, Welland and Dunnville in Ontario, prosperity or depression is intimately connected with the well-being of the local textile mills. In some centres, the textile mill offers the only opportunity for industrial employment, and in others, where other industries exist, many of them are dependent on textile mills for the sale of their products. Citi- zens of St. Catharines are well aware of what textiles mean to this city and the rest of the Niagara. Penin - sale. It was clearly shown in the course of the textile inquiry that average net profits of the industry inrelation to sales, were not only moderate, but Were lower than the profits general- ly considered reasonable in industrial investment. In the case of the Most important group, cotton textiles, net. profits over a ten-year period averag- ed only 5.6 pei cent. It was also shown that textile pri- ces in Canada fell during the period the 1930 tariff was in force, in spite of the somewhat higher protection it provided. In fact, prices of finished goods from Canadian mills' declined more . than the prices of the raw ma- terials. It is thus not in the consumer's in- terest that any radical change be made in the textile tariff. National welfare demands that no action be taken to jeopardize the livelihood of 190,000 Canadian citizens. -St. Cath- arines Standard.

G. Partridge states: "Inline with industry in gen- eraI, our business has slackened off somewhat as compared with the same period in 1937. However, the net earnings exceed by a substantial mar- gin dividend requirements on both Preferred and Compton stocks for the quarter ending March 31st. Due to the unsettled condition of world affairs, it is difficult at this time to see very far ahead, but the financial strength of your Company, its efficiently equipped plants and well trained personnel, place it in a very advantageous position to meet all conditions as they arise." ed while eating. Now the animal re- . fuses to eat unless it can stand up to • do the job. Mr. Grinney has had several offers . Iso far for the -animal, from persons , who want it for exhibition purposes. None of these offers will be accepted for a time, until the health of the calf is assured. This is thought to be one of the very few freak animals which have lived for more than a few - days and numbers of visitors have cal- led, at the farm to have a look at her.. Owner Of Freak Calf Makes Novel Device To Support i Body Stories concerning freak animals are not uncommon, but : here is one that is more than a bit unusual, Seven weeks ago atwo-legged Durham hei- fer calf was born on the farm of Vic- tor Grinney, just south of Mount Pleasant, The animal was perfectly' formedexcept that it -lacked any evi- dence of fore legs. It is still alive and is now lustier than ever. The calf, of course, has difficulty in moving from place to place and until a short time ago took all nour-I ishment while lying. down. The own er has, however, made a suspension) harness for the freak, by which the front part of its body can be support - THE "GOOSE STEP" An army friend, who served in a crack- German cavalry regiment be- fere the War and commanded a Bri- tish iufantry battalion on . the West- ern Front in the War, laughs at the - Italian suggestion that the goose step, which even as a cavalryman, in Ger- many he practised, was adopted from the old Roman Legions, a London,. England, correspondent writes. Asa fact it was introduced into the - German army, not at all' as a parader step, some time before the Franco-- German War of 1870. Its' sole object' was to strengthen the marching mus- cles of infantry recruits whom there. was insufficient time to harden up in,. the normal way. Goose stepping puts, a tremendous strain on the muscles of the eaif, thigh, and abdomen, as well as the back, and it is impossible to Perform. it for much 'more than: three, hundred yards at a time. This is interesting as illustrating' onde more how something introduced' with a definite purpose is apt to be, stereotyped for quite another purpose. Originally a quick form of physical' jerks, the goose step is now a purely - ceremonial parade step. - Canadian. Veteran. WHAT OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING. PARTY FUNDS Politics is a business, and, like any other business, can not be conducted without some reserve capital. This is especially true at election time. What worries some is the source of funds of political parties. Allege- tions as to the derivation of funds with 'which to wage political battles have often been made. That contractors, companies and in- dividuals who hope to benefit from legislation to be enacted contribute to the funds of political parties` is no deep secret. However, if, a measure to be intro- duced by Hon. Charles G. Power, min- ister of pensions at the present ses- sion of the dominion parliament is ap- proved, each party will be obliged to reveal the source of its revenue, and, perhaps more important,' where and how it is expended. . The measure would make it neces- sary for a political association to in- corporate itself in each riding and carry on the work of the party, giving a true accounting' after the election of receipts and revenues, Under existing law candidates are required to publish a statement of receipts and expenditures, but it is extremely vague and does not show how much the party may have ex- pended in the same. riding. Parliamentariansare hopeful that such legislation will end levies made. on financial and industrial organiza- tions. It assuredly would put politics on a higher level in Canada. -Kin- cardine News. ARE YOU GUILTY? Spring is here, an d with it soft lawns and boulevards -and careless pedestrianswho thoughtlessly cut corners or delivery boys ride their bicycles over the soft sward. These careless ones are the bane of the lives: of the average householder who takes pride in his home surroundings. The: shortest way is not always the .best . way and those who are inclined to take a short cut should think of the: other fellow who delights in fine, boulevards and lawns. Every stela: leaves a deep impression these saving days, and that means that a Iot of ex- tra work will have to be done to put - the grass plot back in shape. .It is: pure carelessness or thoughtlessness; which ever you like to call it.

Most peo- ple would answer the question, but. some of thent would have to consider - the problem before answering. Last.: , week we read where a woman who had spent six years on the farm de- 'dared e--'dared emphatically that a cow rose. on its front feet first, She also de dared she knew what she was talking. about and had not been on: the farm t just for her health. Id she had only known. there was a fortune in those • cows as side-show freaks in a circus,, las all cattle rise on their hind legs: first, finishing with their front legs::. By the same token of reasoning this lady would no doubt say that a horse•. would rise onits hind lege first, fin-• ishing with its front legs. It is strange, sometimes how everyday occurrences' will escape ordinary observation and( that we will believe a certain thing• as an actual fact when. the opposite. is the case. Even two people observing an automobile accident will quite of- ten have two different views of the: occurrence.-Flesherton Advance.
