DOMINION TO
CARRY BURDEN
The Dominion ,Government is as-
suming most of the old -age pensions.
It is understood the Dominion will
pay 95 per cent. of the cost, which is
estimated at about $40,000,000 an-
nually:
At the present time no old -age pen-
sions are ,paid in Quebec and the
Maritime Provinces,but when the
Dominion assumes the obligations for
natiottal old -age pensions all provinc-
es
rovinges will be treated alike. It is under-
stood the Dominion government may
not tindertake the whole burden im-
mediately, either itt respect to ":old -
age pensions or aid to agriculture,
but the national scheme will be car-
ried out in progressive stages; that
is, the Dominion will gradually as-
sume the national burden, increasiin�•f,
its proportion year by year, rather
than taking the whole leap at once,

MILK WAR
IN GODERICH
A .miniature milk war is being wag-
ed in Goderich at the present time.
A price of six cents a quart at the
dairy, cash and carry, has been rea-
ched, the lowest in many. years. All
sorts of prices prevail; A dairy with
a pasteurization plant is selling un-
pasteurized milk for six cents over
counter and seven cents delivered.
For pasteurized milk the price is sev-
en and eight cents. For the most part
these prices are being met by most
of the distributors.
The chief contributing factor to the
present milk situation in Goderich is
over -production consequent upon the
adventof cheap feed, a conditionthat
is Said to prevail over the greater
part of the province. As a result the
shipments from Goderich and district
to Toronto have been .greatly curtail -
Recently a Goderich distributor and
a large Colbornetownship producer
fell: out asa result of a hitch in their
business relations, The producer- pro-
ceeded to go into the distributing
business on his own and a price'slash-
ing war was started, --Signal,

PLEBESCITES ARE
NOT WANTED BY
ONTARIO GOVT.
In the Ontario Legislature last
Wednesday, Hon, Harry Nixon, Pro-
gressive Leader, introduced a meas-
ure calling for a plebescite on the On-
tario Liquor Control Act when de-
manded. Hon. G. Henry, Premier,
expressed the government attitude in
opposing the measure by stating that
it was not the constitutional way to
meet the question which should be
settled by electing candidates favor,
able to the question. Mr. W. E. N.
Sinclair, Liberal Leader in the House
spoke favorably and challenged the
arguments of the Premier.
The Ontario Municipal Act pro-
vides for taking plebescites and it
seemed unfair to single out the li-
quor question alone as exempt from
this privilege.
The Government was sustained by a
majority of :81 to 16, receiving one
Liberal vote, while the rest went in
opposition, except four members who
were absent from the House.

MAPLE SUGAR
INDUSTRY ACT
It is reported that farmers in var-
ious parts of the country are consid-
ering the abandonment of their sugar
bushes this spring because of the li-
censing clauses of the .Maple Sugar
Industry Act 1930. Unfortunately,.
these farmers have mis-interpreted
the regulations, and, with a view to
righting this situation, an explanation
of the licensing and registering
clauses is noted herein.
A sugar bush owner who handles
his own product only, is not classed
as a manufacturer or packer, and is
therefore not required to take oat a
manufacturer's license on which a fee
of $20.00 is assessed. Registration of
a sugar bush may be carried out by
the Minister of Agriculture upon re-
quest of the sugar bush owner; but
this registration is purely voluntary
and free of charge.
Licensing of a sugar bush is not
required when the owner markets all
his product within the province in
which his sugar bush is located: But
if he sells any of his output in an-
other province or out of the country,
a license is required, which license
will be issued upon application free
of charge.
Farmers desiring negstration of
their sugar bushes or requiring a li-
cense should communicate without
delay to the Fruit Commissioner, De-
partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.

ty-two and the three nights of every

ternoons set apart for play finds the
