Subject to widespread favorable comment when 'Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Prime Minister and tPro- wim'cial iTreaeurer, presented his 'bud- get in the Legislatare, Ontario's showing of an estimated surplus of $7000,000 after paying a relief 'bili of $i112GOO,U'eo, was considered remark- able inasmuch as it .represe stedt the !First 'balanced budget in Canada since the depression. The complete picture, as revealed in the -figures of the pub- lished statement 'shows the aotua4 surplus to be much larger than ' Mr. Hepburn 'indicated, namely $9,31.3,- 931S; and this after taking care of a relief 'bill, not of EIllj5OO,000 only, bat of I411131i2910,00O. This more than justifies the com- ments which 'have already +been made, not only in regard •to the successful financing of the Province's .business for a year, but also with respect to the resulting effect on 'Ontario's posi- tion in the 'financial market, of the world, as we'll as the substantial relief it becomes ,possible to give to taxpay- ers of ati classes, Action .of the Treasury Department in publishing the statement its the press is adeparture its. ;government procedure and one which is designed to give promptly all the facto of the Pay-'As-You'fGo policy to the persons most interested -the taxpayers. 'Examination of the statement now ron'firtns the fact That the surplus is twelve times the surplus budgeted for a year ago and achieved while other provinces were striving to borrow to meet current expenditures. This is the largest surplus realized by any Canadian province since Confedera- tion. 'It has ,also been noted that, in addition to realizing an unprecedent- ed surplus, the funded debt of the 'Province has 'been reduced by $26,- 000.000 and the .gross debt by $33,- 000;000—or three time the amount promised in the last ,budget address. I't is the 'first reduction in the gross debt of the !Province of 'Ontario that has .been nnade in the present century. Discussing the decrease in funded debt, experts agree that it has been accompanied by a change in carrying charges even more .revolutionary than the turning over from a 19316 deficit of .e$113,000,000 to a staggering surplus. It is pointed out that in the ,fiscal year ending in 11961:4. 412;62 cents nut of every dollar of revenue was required i, +;4 FRIENDS I We are combining our newspaper with these two greet magazine offers, so that you can realize a remarkable cash sav- ing on this year's reading.

Now, tests than 216 cents out of t'he revenue dollar is necessary Eor this purpose, which .means that instead of 57 cents remaining. for the benefit of the peo- ple, there is available a sum of 74c. +Attention is directed to the fact that the ;Treasury Bill debt has been lowered by $1g3]0O00 and that the average rate 00 .interest is half that standing .on the !books in July, 11904. Another fact which is stressed t that 11151 -year money was Obtained at home at the most favorable rate re- ceived' by any province in a quarter of a century. Bonds with an average maturity of 110?Va years, it is pointed out, were sold at a cost of about 33/ p.c., the two issues reflecting the high credit enjoyed by the 'Province., Many of the budget announcements have been enthusiastically acclaimed throughout the Province by reason of the widespread benefits they repres- ent, The highest contmeuda'tion has beers forthcoming, from municipal councils that are enabled to reduce taxation as a result of the 'Province having relieved them from contribut- ing to the cost of old age pensions and mothers' allowances. The gov- erarnent's sympathetic attitude, so far as social legislation is concerned, is also re)ffeoted in the 'Premier's state - metre endorsing the Dominion 't ot- ernment s derision to grant pensions to the blind at the age of 40. It is pointed out also that, in ad- dition to abolishing the amusement tax, representing a sacrifice in reven- ue of $1;9001M00 a year, there have been o't'her drastic cuts in taxation which have been greeted with en- thusiasm on every hand. In the case of licenses for 'farmers' trucks and commercial vehicles, there was a re- duction fit .cost of 215 p.c., which means a saving of over 1$1:,4)00,{l00 a year to some 661,.000 of these emu - merest operators, . and a correspond- itog. loss in revenue to the 'govern-. most. IAt the same time, there has been cousideratble retjoioing over the addi- tional relief to rural municipalities in the reduction from 5 to 4 p.c. in the interest rate charged under he Muni- cipal Drainage 'Act and the Tile Drainage i.Aot, and the lowering of service charges for Hydro to 'fartn- ere. Political observers recall that even during its period of careful retrenc'h- ntent, thegovernmentdid much to ease conditions, Inc of the first steps Racing been to abolish the tax on school children's examination papers. During the coming year. it ,was in- timated. there will be capital expen- diture of `431:91153)00 to provide em- ployment.'51114,51g7,000 going into high- way extensions and $2,6;510;000 for public 'buildings. At the sante Milne, the government is bud,gcting ,for a surplus of '$2,219211,1000 after allowing $1.1,031.0,000. for relief. The budget itas been generally ac- claimed as "apt honest anti soused pu- blic accounting", it being pointed out that the 'Province could have record - tai a surplus of twenty ntii'lioms in- stead of seven if direct relief costs had been capitalized. A year ago, it is recalled, Mr. ,Hep- burn made the following statement: -With the saving of interest and e. consequent reduction in the cost of government, we shall be able to car- ry the blessings of good government into the homes of the humblest man and woman in this province." And in delivering his 'budget address in March, he remarked: "'We turn our faces, not toward the shadows. but toward the sun, and view in that dir- ection a brighter and happier day for this great land." deep fat, and drain on brown paper.

Yet another disaster has bee❑ added to the 'terrible toll demanded for our conquest of the air in the destruc- tion of the mighty Zeppelin Hinden- burg. Atter successfully spanning the Atlantic the giant airship was blast- ed ld ted ,by an explosion as it came to its moorings. The disaster will prolitbly a'11 to the skepticism that ',retails in same quarters as to the future of lighter - than -air craft. The dirigible already has a bad record. with eighteen maj- or calamities to its discredit .in the .past twe;tty-three yeah. One of the worst of these was the destruction of the Akron of the United States Navy, in 11933, ,when that airship crashed in an ,electric storm off the coast of Neu Jersey: with a loss of 73 lives. The 'tvt•eck of the British dirigible R- 101 over •France in 1139'30, with 46 dead, delivered a decisive blow* 00 the faith of British authorities in the air- ship as a means of transportation or as a reliable war weapon. Notwithstanding., these repeated disasters and the failure of 'the Zep- pelin as an effective weapon during the (Great \1'ar, 'Germany has never lost faith in rite future of the dirig- ible. The Hindenburg was consider- ed the greatest product oai the science of airship construction, end was tate largest Zeppelin ever launched on the skies, Powered with four 1,000 -horse - potter 'Diesel engine., it had a maxi- mum speed of 204 miles an (tour and carried a crew• of 411 beside 50 passen- gers. It had a crttiling range of 14.518) miles -- sufficient for a non-stop round trip from Lakehtrrst to 'Ger- tttany, or from New fork to Shang- hai. China. S1w made tent trips across tite \tluttic i:t•t year without a mis- hap. The chief Itis ,' that besets tit dirigible lies in the use of hydrogen gas. and it 01,u1!d .cpl,eier that the des- traction of the Hital nburg was due to an 11'citlental. ignition ,f3 gas- in 'rho hinder part o' the .hip.

' ahctt t has teen bitted at. nbut Spelt susaicion. have been moose l t. almost eters d ..i•t,•r ,. that kind. In this ea -e. i0 '.ever, deliberate sits 'tot;ege is ,c:u•ce'y :t feasible explana- tion. Although he did •tiogest foul slat, Dr. ,Huso Eckener. the design- er of the Hindenburg., stated that he had always ittsiste.i that airships were afc' only with the use of helium ever •ince the British dirisiltle crashed in 1''t"hilce sis years ago. Hydrogen is said to have been used for two reasons: one because it has ,renter lifting power than helium. thus making tihe Hinden'burg's opera - ;ions more .profitable; the other rea- son beim that the United States owns all the practical supplies of he- lium in the w=orld, and while not us- ing it themselves, 'the Americans are apparently not disposed' to supply this •nonafatttmable :lifting power to other nation's. Meanwhile, until a free supply of helium is released by the United States, it is doubtful wheth- er even the !Germans will maintain their ,former faith in the zeppelin as a 'means of transatlantic transporta- tion. It is certain that the popularity of that means of travel will not he enhanced by .the tragic tvreck of the Hindenburg. TESTED RECIPES Variety in Egg Dishes Science has discovered the exist- ence of several vitamins in food, each vitamin being essential for a certain phase of growth or for the prevention of a ,particular type of disease. No one item of food possesses all of the vitamins in the 'quantities required by the human system'but no other single food has a wider vitamin content than eggs, Eggs contain vitamins P., Bllw IBO, and D. 'Vitamins A and D essential to growth, also to the pre- vention of 'certain eye troubles, and to the proper development of bones and teeth are •found abundantly in egg's, sohile vitamin 'B, the vitamin of yeast.
