A Driver in the Back Seat.—
Sono folk prefer dtmit animal, to
fellow human ern' s 'alien it comes to
commit -It any way, and that is what it
hooked like the other day when a man
was seen driving a coach' ear with a'
horse standing inside with hint. The
front seat had been removed, thus
giving the horse standing room at
least, but ]tow it got in or out is still
a problem in the minds of those who
saw it. Sometimes sheep or calves are
delivered in this manner and of
course, a trailer full of pigs or cattle
is nd strange sight but a horseriding
in the family's car is a new one.—

The Late Edward Brisson-
One of the links with the past of
the ,picturesque French settlement on
the shore of Lake Huron was broken
in the death of 'Edward Brisson,
member of one of the settlement's
pioneer families and a prontinenit lig-
ure in this section of Hay 'rownship.
He was the father of 1Rev. ,M. A. Bris-
son, of St. Peter's Seminary, London..
'Edward IB,risson was'born 72 years
ago on, his father's harm on the lake
shore near St, Joseph's. His father,
Jean Brisson, was one of the small
(b'an'd of French-Canadians who came
from 'Quebec nearly 1100 years ago
and hewed their farms from the bush
on the lake shore and began a settle-
ment that
etble-ment'tha't grew to one of the prosper-
ous districts of Hiucton •Courutiy. His
mother was IA'rm!alin.e - Duchamnte,
member of another pioneer family.
0015 of U!4 children in the pioneer'
family, Edward Brisson remained to
farm the homestead until his family
were ready to .attend high school.
'i'hen he moved to Stratford and liv-
ed there for 116 years. \ftet' his child-
ren were educated he returned to the
Hay Township farm, Ten years ago
he retired and lived in the settlement
at Drysdale. Many of the family en-
tered .service of their church,
\Ir. Brisson was one o' the leaders

mem of Canada's l3's tut ii cal position.
On the whole, it was t healthy bus!-
ue ,tatean nt. m th,lt it was tea ,n-
abl$ free from partisanship, and in
that it stated the present bouyant fin-
ancial state of the country, with a
'cell -tithed warning of the dangers
that are inherent to the incipient
stages of a boort.
It falls about fifteen million dollars
short of the one -hundred million deli -
cit budgeted for last year, a deficit
that the \linister of Finance intends
to cut in half one year from now, and
completely wipe ,out in Ewa years.
The statement stressed the need of
paying as you go. as well as making
provision for debt retirement during
the upward swing of the price cycle,
and ft clearly recognized that .borrow-
ing for public works and other ent-
ploymeut expenditures is generally
acccpt31 as not unsound public econ-
omy in times of depression.
A feature of the revenues that
catl'Itcs the observer is the growing
importance of income and excise tax-
es alongside 01 the diniishing import-
ance of customs revenues. It is some-
time, forgotten that -a great portion
of Canada's imports enter free of
duty because they are required for
manufacturing purposes in the country,
and protection can only he made ef-
fective in the case of commodities to

As to the tarries' side, the changes
of account are embodied iet the Can-
adagUniterl 'Kingdom trade agree-
ment tabled at the sante tinge. Cana-
da's important 'buyers are the coun-
tries and Crown colonies of the pres-
ent time, as our thirty customer, and
the importance of the limited Kimg-
dotn trade was stressed by the Minis-
ter of Finance. The need of maintain-
ing the markets securest in 10343 was
freely admitted; Canada's ,position in
the British market remains snbstan-

General Roebuck had 'held that the
purchase of 'Quebec 'Power was not
essential to meeting the power re-
quirements of Ontario. "The Attorn-
ey 'General will see the, day when he
will wish he had had nothing to do
witii the repudiation of those con-
tracts," he informed the House,
:As the result of a 'break down in
one of the S0;000 h.p. generators at
Chippewa the Ontario Hydro Conl-
missinn has suffered a reduction in
the load on the 'Niagara system. 1n a
recent speech I -Ton. Earl Rowe, Con-
servative Leader, declared that the
Goverlintcnt was forcing the genera-
ting equipment its order to obtain the
last possible ounce of energy with
the view of disguising the serious pos.
si1)1111 • of a power shortage in the
hear future. The generator has 1 ecu
.out of commission for over a week,
and Chairman T. Stewart Lyon states
that he cannot -estimate the length of
time that will be taken before the
generator is againin operation,.
Declaration of Hon. i'iarl Rowe
that the ruining industry was being
taxed to the limit at the present time
has ,keen received with considerable
approval by -those associated with the
industry. Mr. Riowe recently took oc-
casion to stress the fact that much of
Ontario's recovery from the industrial
depression was due to the heavy buy-
ing orders of the mining industry,
"I ant 'firmly of the opinion that
further taxation would only hamper
development of this important indus-
try," declared M'r. Rowe. At the
nlrolnent we are concerned in iprovlcl-
11g work for !those employed in the
todustry and its afifiCated trades. Any
further taxation Dei mines should .not
be considered. -It would be ,far better
'for the mines to give increased wages
to their err loyees."
'Conservative members of the Leg-
islature have again urged the -Gov-
ernment to appoint a special conl-
ntittce of the Legislature which could
discuss hydro affair. with technical
experts. Hon, Earl Rowe has from
time to time .claimed that the :Govern
tient was not presenting the people
of the -Province with a true calling of
such a committee for the purpose of
shedding; light on various pleases of
the administration of the Hydro
Commission.
