When first you were wed you them left us, Bttt only for five years to stay; This .past twenty years you have been with us, And 'helped to snake winter nights gay (Chorus) And now as old school boys and girls, A d•a, Our lessons well -learned every one; Let us think of the years that are gone, Ada, When you and Lorne were young. We remember the young lad from 1Lucknow, Who used to drive past Number Four, He drove a teamsummer and winter, That was years before Henry Ford's ear. ' A!t last he got tired .of driving And decided he'd take her home; For the Good Book plainly tells us,. That man should not live alone. The twenty'fire' years have rolled by Since Ada became your bride, Have seen many a change in McKil- lop, Where the pioneers once did reside; Your family have grown to girlhood, And once of the number is gone; Put a lock on the road gate, Lorne, Or you'll lose to the very last one. —From an old .,school girl of SS, No. 4.--S.A.B.

Your splendid good nature and optim- isnt has often spurred us on to do the things we thought impossible. You also have set each one of us an example that no matter what is go- ing on outside the church, your first duty was to attend any meeting in the church and we could always count on having you there. " You have been: an efficient treasurer for oar congre- gation the past four years, which has entailed a good deal of work.

The road . from Bayfield- to Bruc - field is in excellent condition: e lest to enter is agriculture • and any preferential treatment Canada may se- cure in United IC'ingdom markets, will - be shared by India. Howwill the 70,000,000 whites fare with 300,000,000 blacks on a footing of equality in their own political house? Time, and perhaps . not this generation, will answer that question filially, \i"e will probably live to see our Oriental. Exclusion laws the basis of bitter conflict. We will live to see India, China and Siberia a striking challenge to our position as "the bread -basket of the world." And we may 'live to see the day when self- preservation will require the British Empire to cut the bonds of that Em- pire and exclude from it the India so much British blood was spilt to gain. .Another monkey wrench has been thrown into the delicate machinery which separates Dominion and Pro- vincial rights in Canada. This time it is hurled by Quebec, where Premier Taschereau asserts the right of a pro- vince to control radio broadcasting within its borders. .Ile has submitted his position to the Appeal Court of his province for an opinion and plans legislation this year to make effective his claim, At a time when the question of a national radio policy is being seriously considered Mr. Taschereau's attitude is a bit disturbing and the likelihood is that the matter will find its way to the Privy Council for final settlement. His contention is that broadcasting is a local and provincial concern. Un- fortunately it doesn't end there. Right herein. Ottawa four or five of the best outside stations are constantly inter- rupted and distorted by the activities of the three Montreal broadcasting stations which. except when tied in on sante chain broadcast, infrequently of- fer any program of interest outside of Montreal. Broadcasting, it is felt here, is much in the position aE train opera- tion, .Trains also start front various provinces but seldom stop in the same province. The moment they become interprovincial they come under fed- eral control. Un't'il it becomes poss- ible to stop radio waves on the boun- dary of the province of origin they, too, are held to be interprovincial and. a 'natter for federal regulation, VARNA. The average Canadian following the Indian conference in London to consider self-government for that great empire very probably regard's it all cademic m which of masaterauialainterest to probleIndian peoplefs and of very little' consequence one way or another to Canada, Is such a view correct? On the contrary, Canada has a vital interest inI tie program and its developments, which will become increasingly ap- parent as selfgovernment in Indio ad- vances. Up to the present India has been part of the British Empire by con- quest, It is now planned that she will remain so voluntarily, and will ultimately be on a footing of equality with other self-governing dominions as a unit of the Empire, Ruled as e conquered people, her population has' already risen in denunciation of res- trictions placed upon them as British subjects by British subjects of other dominions—restrictions against their immigrations and even their civil rights. Canada has anany times heard leaders of Indian thought attack in strongest language the barriers fixed by Canada against the people of In- dia. How much more intense and deter- mined wil'1 this hostility become with Atdia on a basis of equal partnership in the Empire! Iu fire Empire today are perhaps y0,000,000 white people.
