ALBERTA ENDORSES SOCIAL CREDIT The greatest political experiment that any province of this Dominion has ever experienced will be tried out in Alberta. The, people of that prov- inec have elected and endorsd the So- cial Credit Party. William Aberhart, leader of the So- Cial Credit. Party, promises a basic dividend of $25 to each citizen of the Province each month. As the control of currency is under Dominion juris- diction. it will be necessary for the Social Credit leader and his advisers to create some medium of exchange -which will perform some of the fume - want. war but powers that control cer- tain countries have imposed 'their will on the people.. • .

People who receive this basic dividend will have to spend it all each month, and the claim. is made that to start this business off it will require about $12,000,000. • It is expected that it will take 18 months, Mr. Aberhart has so stated, before this scheme will be put into effect 'and as this idea is too compli- cated for us to fully understand we will watch. the developments in Al- berta with ever increasing interest. Major C. H. Douglas, a Scottish engineer, is the originator of the Soc- ial Credit monetary reform plan and has a two-year contract with the Al- berta Government. Mr. Aberhart and the, Government will therefore have Major Douglas to assist them in the working out of this scheme. Mr. Ab- erhart's plan differs from the Douglas idea of social credit in some respects. The Aberhart plan is to fix a "just price" for goods sold at retail but he has not clarified the term. Douglas -uses the term "just price" and he ar- rives at his conclusion by balancing national consumption against total national production. onto.

As one studies the dispatches in the daily papers which have appeared (during the past week the conclusion generally is that Italy and Ethiopia eavill be at war before long. Sortie of the despatches give warn- ing that this affair between Italy and this African nation will cause another 'world war.

Lucknow Kincardine Goderich who had never lost a game at home or one in which they started off with a lead. But alas and alacki Everything was going fine until the fatal third and then Inferno crashed around the Hurons' ears. Retired in order in the first two innings the Colts started the third without much hope. Holmes bounced to the box to start the inning with an easy out and Jelin- ston popped up to short, Then came the dawnt With two strikes and a, ball on Carrick, Colvin made the mis- take of throwing one inside tb) Car- rick and the latter drove the, ball a mile -a -minute over first for a single, Clinton's first hit. Then /or pun- ched one of Colvirt's fast, ones over the centre -field fence to tie the score. Even then things, didn't look too bad with two out. But the Colts kept on hitting, both McEwan and Wagg get- ting singles and Hawkins clearing the sacks with a home -run to centre -field. Once again Fate seemed down on the Tribe, Finlayson, fielding this bit back of the swings hitting an upright with his throw-in, the ball bouncing far ,out of any Indian's reach. This spelled the end for Colvin, he walking Mc- -Donald and getting two balls on Holmes, the last a wild pitch a mile high and Peterson took up the weary task Holmes finally drew a walk, bringing up Johnston, who struck out but Carmichael let the ball get past • him and two runs scored in the en- suing melee. Carrick walloped his se- cond hit of the inning but Pickett mercifully grounded out third to first. The Colts added no. ten in the 4th, a walk to McEwan, Wagg's roller to first and Hawkins' single doing the trick. McEwan also added their next tun in the sixth, the Braves having a hard time stopping the catcher, who scored four runs on only one hit. Mr. Pickett opened with a single but was forced at second by McEwan who went to second on Wagg's single to left. Hawkins flied out to centre but Hovey's single scored McEwan. Mc- Donald drew the second of three walks he collected but Holmes rolled out, Gurney to Chalmers, who was then pitching and who covered first. The Tribe also added a trio in the 6th, a walk to Groves, singles by Joe Tiffin and Carmichael, with an error by the left -fielder on Joe's single, and a passed ball, accounting for three runs. Each club also added three,in the ninth, Johnston rolled out to start the,inning and Carrick struck out but again the third strike got away from the catch and the batter reached first. Pickett then promptly pasted his sec- ond home -run over the picket -fence in ;centre. The troublesome McEwan got a Soft life when Gurney got a little careless and dropped Tiffin's throw on the catcher's easy roller. A wild pitch advanced him to second while Wagg was striking out, from where he scor- ed on Hawkin's triple, Hovey then grounding out to short. Mellor opened the ninth for the Tribe and got a life when Johnston booted his grounder. Gurney and Fin- layson both walked to kill the sacks and all advanced on a passed ball, Mellor scoring; Gurney scored while Hovey was throning out Chalmers and Finlayson scored on Grove's sin- gle, Joe Tiffin forced Groves at sec- ond and Carmichael fouled out to end the game. * * * No less than' 93 would-be batters stepped up to the plate in this game.

A three -run rally in the third sew- ed up the game, the Tribe, who played snappy ball behind Colvin, who turn- ed in another great effort on the lo- cal hill, no less than fifteen Kitties marching back to the ebench direct from the plate. Fred Mellor showed a great reversal of form over his late lamented relapse at Clinton, the tac- iturn shortstop playing fine ball. Bob. Chalrners and Al, Finlayson led the hitters with a pair of singles each. The club was without the services of Ken. Somers, the sentry -fielder being out with a cut foot.

After going all season without so much as a single earned run scored off him, Jack Colvin suddenly lost his magic with two out in the third inning of Saturday's play-off game here with Clinton, and' before the side was re- tired nine runs had swept across the plate and Colvin had been removed. Some 300 fans sat with mingled feel- ings as the greatest batting barrage ever seen on the local park exploded before them, six straight hits, two walks, an error and another hit pass- ing by in review before the labouring Indians finally got that third man out. Outside of this one disastrous inning the Tribe was as good if not better than the Colts who were a bunch of hitting fools on ;Saturday. • Leading the assault on the Tribal hurlers was Ken. Pickett, blonde first - baseman of the Colts, who has been the sensation of the league this year. Pickett cracked out a pair of homers and a single, being closely folloWerl by Tom Hawkins with a home -run, triple and single, Hovey also garner- ed three hits, all singles. Carrick, on the mound for Clinton, didn't turn in anythime that one would call sensational in the line of pitching but with a big lead behind him pitch- ed good ball when he had to. He nearly lost his own garne in the first hieing, Mellor gave Hovey a hard chance to open ‘the game but was re- tired. Gurney and Vinlaysoft both walked and then Ilawkins tried to sneak in from eentre-field and take a snap -throw from Carrick to get Gur- ney at eecorid, but Carrick threw the ball far into ceetre-field and both run- ners noted.

Joe was favored by wonderful support from his mates, who played with the desperation of a club on the verge of elimination. Another unknown, Stock, took up the mound duties for Clinton and pitched very well too, the Colts also playing good ball behind him. Tiffin allowed only five hits and four of these went to the credit of Wally Wagg, who also earned the fielding diploma of the day with a fine running catch in left -field. The rival shortstops, Fred Mellor and youthful Riley Johnston, both turned in a great day's work in a defensive way. It wasn't till the fifth that either club dented the rubber and it remain- ed. for the Tribe to break the spell. Groves, first up in the fifth, drew a base on balls and Finlayson prompt- ly sacrificed him to second. Murray Rae, playing his first game in some time, peeped out to the catcher, Bili Tiffin then beat out a hit to third and, wonder of wonders, Groves, of all people, scored all the way from second. It took the Hurons several innings to get over the wonder of this startling feat by the portly catcher. Mellor ended the inning by bouncing out, Stock to Pickett. The Colts tied the game up again in the seventh.' Wagg got his third hit of the game to start the inning, a single to left, but was forced at sec- ond by Hawkins, who in turn died the same way when Hovey hit to Chalm- ers at third. Carrick drew a walk. McDonald then hit an easy hppper to Chalmers, but Gurney dropped Bob's throw and the ball was kicked far enough away to let Hovey score. Mc- Donald tried to take second on the throw to the peg, but Groves' fine peg nicked the runner at second to retire the side. The Hurons won the game in the eighth,- Bill Tiffin opening the ses- sion with' a looper over third base. Mellor laid down a nice sacrifice and went out lefeEevan to Pickett, Tiffin taking second. Tuddy then moved to third while Pickett was retiring Gur- bey on his slow roller. The Braves then got the break that won the game when Tiffin scored on McDonald's low throw to first on Somers' roller which Pickett couldn't • quite hold. Somers then stole second but Chalm- ers drew a walk, Wagg then made his great catch of Joe Tiffin's high foul - fly back of a car in left -field. In Clinton's half of the ninth, Tiffin retired the side in order, Hovey pop- ping to Gurney, Carrick hoisting to Somers and Mellor throwing out Mc- Donald • at first, the Hurons trotting happily off the field, * * * The crowd was slightly larger than on Saturday, about 400 fans being on hatid, a good riiiota of Winghain fans 'making the journo.
