A PRAYER
God 'bless the folks, whose love
transcends
All thought of self, whose influence
iten'ds'
To brighten and make life worth
wlhile,
Who cheer the outcast with a smile.
These happy harbingers of 'heaven
Who gladly give theirbit of leaven.
Ohl what an, Eden earth would prove
If governed by the law of love,
Each for the other, high and low
Would dwell in harmony below,
The 'Master's image, meek and mild,
Would shine in souls by sin defiled.
Forgive, oh Lordl and bless us all,
The good, the bad in error'•s :thrall,
The suffering and sore distressed
May each one find Thy promised rest,
And, make us ever more like Thee
In time .ancl through Eternity.

SUGGESTS 'RE -UNION
OF FORMER PUPILS
In a letter to The News this week,
Mr. W. G. Strong, B.A., of Ottawa,
says:
"I was interested in the dcldition
made to the Collegiate this 'last term
and hope to be able to visit the com-
plted wing this summer. It will be
twenty -'five years since I graduated
from the S.C.I. and only once have I
had an opportunity to revisit its walls.
Would there be any opportunity of
holding a reunion of former students
this summer to witness the' changes
•wrought in the precincts of those
halls of learning?
"It will be the twenty-fifth anniv-
ersary f the y o t e declaration of war,
when Seaforth .celebrated an Old
Boys Reunion and .Firemen's Tourna-
ment in '119114. It would be interesting
to recall old scenes, incidents, faces,
and reflect on the tragedies of the
years. I leave the suggestion for
what it is worth."

MEMBER SPEAKS
Following are excerpts from a
speech last week in the House of
Commons :by W. H. Golding, mem-
ber for Huron -Perth, as recorded in
Hansard:
+Mr. Speaker, at the outset I want
to extend to my 'loon, friend the loader
of the •official opposition in this House
'(Mr. Manion) my sincere congratul-
ations upon having been chosen for
that important position. I congratul-
ate hint also upon 'his recent election
and his reentry into this house. The
party of which he is now leader has
had a great deal to do with the shap-
ing of the history of this .dominion,
and it is a very high honor to be
chosen as its leader. The hon. gentle-
man is an aggressive exponent of his
party's cause, and I know hewillput
forth his best efforts to lead it to vic-
tory. The first time I came into per-
sonal contact with the force of his ag-
gressiveness was during my own 'by-
election campaign in South Huron in
1932; and I want to go on record
now as expressing the hope that in
the years to come his aggressiveness
will meet with the same success that
it met with on that occasion , , ,
Then, too, on behalf of the citizens
whom I have the honor to represent,
I shotild like to take this opportunity
of expressing to their majesties the
king and queen the appreciation of
the people of niy' constituency for
their having graciously consented to
visit our country in the coming sum-
mer. I believe this is the first time in
the history of Canada that royalty
will have visited our shores, and I
can assure them that from the people
of the counties of Huron and Perth
they will receive a loyal welcome...
In the few moments at my dis-
posal I wish to refer particularly to
our financial position, and to our pos-
ition in connection with trade. May
I firstcongratulate our good friend
the Minister of Finance (Mr. Damn-
ing) upon, his restoration to health,
and also upon the accuracy of his.
budget forecasts in the past three
years, I 'believe that in the Minister
Of Finance the government is fortun-
ate.inehaving. the right ratan in the
right place, and that under his super-
vision the financial affairs of Canada
will be well and faithfully guarded.
I know that at the present time
under the circumstances which exist
the government is being compelled to
make expenditures that it would be
very glad not to make. But in view of
the tremendous burden of taxation
and debt we are now struggling to
carry it 'becomes the duty of every
hon. member to rally to the support
of the Minister of Finance, to help
Min in his effort to practise economy
and thus relieve our people of some
of their burden. I believe the time has
cone, indeed it is long overdue, when
the federal government and all other
governing bodies in Canada will have
to be more considerate and adopt pol-
icies more generous to the taxpayer.
In many of 'the speeches in the
house we hear appeals to the govern-
ment to be more generous with this
or that class or with this or that pro-
posal, 'but we all too seldom hear an
appeal to be mare generous with the
taxpayer. It seems to me it should
not be necessary to warn the memb-
ers of the house that even with the
splendid upturn of :business we have
had we •cannot now balance our bud-
get; just what ,hope, then, can we
li-old out to our people of ever being
able to relieve then of this burden,
one whioh is already almost too great
to he borne I fully appreciate the
fact that the government is extreme-
ly anxious to adopt a policy not only
of pay -as -you -,go but also of reducing
our debt, which has been piling up
year after year, I confidently believe
this can. 'be thane, provided the gov-
ernment has the backing and sym-
pathy of its supporters in the move-
ment. Int' seems to me that if we are
going to be fair to those who have
placed tis in our present position we
ought to endeavor to manage Can-
ada's business' joist as earefully and
economically as if it were our own.
If we do, that' certainly we will not be
encouraging the 'governmen't to 'make
expenditures running into millions of
dollars which ,cannot be met out of
revenue ,rand which through interest
charges add to our lburden of taxa-
tion. If we were to conduct our own
Private business in this manner we
would soon reach the place where
we .would not be able to operate at' all,
We mast not forget that govern-
ments, whether they he municipal;
provincial -or federal; are not unlike

night Seaforth Interneediates beat the
home team by 7,6 score. Archie Hub-
ert of Seaforth did not play, on ac-
count of the wound he received a
week before. Lindy Leppard, the big
Mitchell defencentan, played a 'bang-
up game scoring five of the team's six
goals, unassisted,
The 'Seaforth Juveniles were beaten
o1 home ice last Wednesday night by -
the Lions from Clinton, The Clinton
Kids played smooth hockey most of
the way, and well deserved victory.
In the second gauge that night the
Seaforth 'Collegiate defeated Exeter
High School by a 6-1 -score.
The Tavistock Greensliirts seen to
have a great deal of strength even
,without such stars as Hubert and
Harris, They have Murray Rae of
\Vingham on their roster, recognized
by many as the best player in the
group. Besides Rae they have many
other smart players, +but if Tavistock
is slopped, Seaforth is the team that
will do it.
Although Junior Farmers hockey
schedule is still young it appears as
if Londesboro will rank high. They
have played three games, winning two
and tying one, to lead the league
with five points. Egmondville, .by
winning one and tying another in the
'first two games dict all right until the
tables turned, then they lost two in
succession.
In the Duncan Cup series there are
still three teams unbeaten. Athletics
and Americans of Group "A" and the
Bisons in Group "B". The star's on
Saturday morning were McDaid of
the Bruins with 1 markers, and K.
Coombs of Bisons with three, But
who stole the show? W. 'Coombs of
Bisons mixed it up with Ryan of the
Bears and •became the :super star of
the game,
Seaforth Internnedia'tes trimmed the
Bltieshirts of Mitchell to the tune of
8 - 3 .here Tuesday night. Seaforth
played to a well earned victory with
Harris of Seaforth outstanding, scor-
ing four
cor-ing,'four goals. Seafotth's other goats
were scored by Muir, Bell, G. and A,

good 'hockey, getting their first goal
and assisting Wright in the final one.
