It data not now seem possible that; it could be earlier. There is no pres- ent prospect of parliament concluding its work before the conning of the King and Queen in May, The min- istry originally had some hope of this but has abandoned it. While no def- inite pronouncement has been mn7de,it is believed the Prime Minister will desire to have parliament adjourn during the entire time Their Majest- ies are in Canada. Reassembling towards the end of June, parliament probably Ivou'd still have enough business before it to occupy it until August. Definite, in- formation as to the election will hard- ly be given until after Their Majest- ies have concluded their visit to Can- ada. Should the Government. after parliament reassembles, let it he Un- der toad that it intends ss.ing to the coeur w in the Fall the remainder of the session would he protracted by elect on appeal;. It might thus be continued well into August. s, that l s'�st mould not come .inti; ins Oi t& er, Th Opposition' which, ordinarily hat a 4o,od deal to say about the length f 'a session through it abil- ity to <.norten or prolong debates, doe- .tut appear anxiutt, now to drag out the present session. With the ex- ception .,i the iniiial debate after the opening of parliament the discus -ions .5o far have not been protracted. Con- sidering that it is likely to have the result of bringing about a Cabinet reorganization Meals -ins, replacement of ta: Minister of National Defence, debate an the Bren machine gun con- tract was of modest duration, lasting only: -en days. The debate on the Trade ~Treaty has taken up only a fraction of the time spent in discuss- ing the 1932 Empire Agreements when the Liberal Opposition of the time ryas opposing them. It is to be remembered that in this parliament there are four parties to be accom- modated in all major debates whereas in :he fast parliament there were three. The course being taken by the Conservatives seems to suggest that they are not anxious to delay the Orange Pekoe Blend TSA to bringing on of the general election. Apparently they would welcome it this year. This attitude appears to be due to a conviction that the govern- I meat cannot make effective capital out of the Washington trade bargain! and that the major issue of the elec- tion is likely to be the absence of government action to deal with pre -1 tail n:; economic conditions. While I the Conservatives under Dr, Manion i in the Commons have been assailing the Administration the party has been organizing rapidly throughout 1 the co:nntry and seem to be in a hu- mor ts carry the, fight to the polls this year. ... .. It - the Prime \fmt ter. of course. and hi- 41. -e-t advi err, who :rill make lista decision about riskin4 a popular rate this year. There are plenty of signs that the government is making preparations for the elec- tion. Hon. C. H. Callan saw one of these the unbar clay in the character of the .peeehes Mr. MacKenzie Kin_ is making this session.. The -e speeches had convinced the veteran Conserva- tive chat the Prime Minister was now "eagerly preparing for another politi- cal campaign of passionate propagan- da." What has so far come to light regarding Agriculture Minister Gard- iner's western programme in substitu- tion for the minimum wheat price also indicate= that this programme is to be framed as an election appeal. Various other steps to hare the government ready for an election this year are also being taken, including preparation of a heavy spending programme under supplementary estimates. On the other hand the opposition of the government's followers in the Commons to the prospect of facing the 'voters this year is becoming in- creasingly insistent. Dr. R. H.

The anxiety- of western members to have the election postponed has been increased by the collapse of the con- cession proffered the Prairies under the Trade Treaty in the form of a larger share of the United States cattle market. After the disclosure some days ago that Canada was not getting the full benefit of the increas- ed quota for heavy cattle which was put forward as dun outstanding benefit under the treats., the governmant did the best it could to end the situation through an appeal to Washington. The result of this effort was made known this week For the last three- quarters of this year Canada's share of the quota is to be 142.000 head. Canada's share for the first-quarter was a little over 30,000 head. Conse- quently the maximum export of heavy cattle under the treaty terms this year will be roughly 172,000 head. Under the old treaty exports of heavy cattle amounted to over 163,000 head in 11937, which was in excess of the quota, then limited to 1'56,000 head. The only gain for this country, there- fore. is a possible increase in exports of around 10,000 head. Mr. Gardiner's plan for western ag- riculture is also developing into a cause of serious anxiety in ministerial quarters. When the Minister of Agri- culture made an advance announce- ment in the Commons some days ago he was frankly seeking to test public reaction. The reaction produced was much more than the government bar- gained for. The ministry has been kept busy ever since considering the objections that have flooded in from the west, while indefiniteness of the Minister's;statements has caused a good deal of confusion in the east. It is now certain that the Minister will have to revise his plans extensively and at Ottawa it is anticipated that the revision will he in the nature of making the agricultural plan an elec- tion appeal for the west, HURON NEWS Supreme Court Cases -- There are no criminal cases on the 1,,cket for the Supreme Court sitting st Goderich which opened before Mr. Jn.tice Kelly on Tuesday of this seek. The civil list is headed by a jury action for 515,000 damages, the resell of a car accident. The plaintiff is Harold Stark, Elora baker, who is in a cast with a broken neck and three broken vertebrae in his back. Cie injuries being the result of an ac cidennt in which his car rolled over in tine ditch between Elora and Fergus on November 19, 1937; The plaintiff alleges he was crowded off the road by an approaching car driven by Rus- sell Plyly, Elora accountant employ- ed at Fergus. Stark was in bed three months with his injuries, and at pre- sent has his chest encased in a cast with supports holding his head erect. His life. the statement of claim puts forth, hangs by a mere thread. The defendant charges that Stark was dri- ving recklessly and at an excessive rate of speed, and that the baker's car did not turn over until after it had gone by Plyly's car. There are three non -jury cases. _Mrs. Effie McLennan, a Seaforth widow, seeks to have a mortgage made in favor of Mrs. Hen- rietta -Mclennan, of Seaforth, declar- ed null and void and asks a reconvey- ance of lands and premises, alleging she was not aware of the nature of the document when she signed the mortgage, The mortgage was made out on November 5, 11937, do the sum of $],94227, and was on a Seaforth property. Smith Bros,, co-defendants in the action, were dropped when they registered a quit -claim deed. The plaintiff is the widQty of Alexander McLennan; the defendant the widow of his brother, 'John McLennan. The Goderich Manufacturing 'Company is suing the Bilysch Timber Company of Sault Ste. Marie, for $4,500, a4leg- lag breach of contract. The claim- of the Goclerich firm is that, of a ,con tracted :9501000 feet of logs, the. Am- erican firm delivered only 1160;000 feet. A counter -claim of $1007289 is entered by the timber firm, this alleg- edly being the amount due on the logs delivered, Further shipments, it was stated, were impossible because of lack of funds. Mrs. Catherine Cat- er Hopson, of Wingham, "by her next friend. Rev. Elmer Milton Lon- ey," seeks to have a deed in the name of her nephew, Goerge Henry Hodg- kinson, Kinloss farmer, set aside and a reconveyance made to her. The plaintiff alleges that when she •pur- chased a Wingham property for $700 her nephew persuaded her to have it registered it his name. The nephew in his statement of defence states the deed was turned over to him in pay- ment of a loan of $300 he made to his. aunt in 'June, 11937. Baptist Minister Called— The Olinton and Auburn Baptist congregations have extended a call to Rev. A. E. Silver of Lanark to be their pastor.

Old Slide Was % Mile Long— Levy's hill in the West Ward has been the scene for the past few sea- sons of those who feel inclined to go tobogganing. It seems to be about the only suitable place in town for such sport. It is not a bad spot and the slide is a fair distanee in length. But how many of the townspeople of Mitchell remember the old tobog- gan slide which grew to be a famous resort in this town about sixty years For 14 "Years Vicks Advertising has been paneva upon Ini w Omura or rititorteiwns.

The top of the trestle was reached by means of a stairway. It was of frame construc- tion and of no small proportions. A sloping frame slide ran down to the ground. The slide was kept in an icy condition and by the time the tobog- gans reached the foot of it a tremend- ous speed was attained.

The lightning Tod was 'burned almost alt the way down and some of the granary Iopr was torn up as well: BRODHAGEN.'
