session so that ;these gentlemen can
receive. a fair wage according to the
work that they are doing,' instead of
having ignorny cast tipoh there. Do
not let the Postinaster General say
to then, "You are the only gentle-
men iu my service who are not to
receive the same treatment as oth-
ers." I invite the Postmaster' General
now to come up to my constituency
in his pi:ivate ear and send ahead iii:;
eight thousand dollar Stutz car, with
chauffeur, and tell the people .of that
constituency_'that rural maul carriers
or any else there are prospe!-

In closing I wi•isja ;tn say this, I
"feel that it is a blcit on -the fair name
of Canada' that we should meet many
of the men' carrying His :Majesty's

year I react in this hoose an .account
of a case in the city of Stratford
twhere a rural mail carrier was taken
before the court by the: humane •soc-
iety for driving a horse which .shoulel
pot be driven When Magistrate
Makins learned that the Postmaster
General w is giving this man $x`7..75 a
day to support that horse and rig and
to -maintain. a family of five lie dis

has occurred also in the vicinity of
London.

brought before the court,' Fred

Mr. Spotton: I do not know the

name of the mail contractor. I read
'about the case in the Daily Beacon
and I wrote to the magistrate to find
c•ut whether the newspaper clipping
was correct and he sent rue a letter
enclosing the clipping and saying,
ryes; it is absolutely correct."
Mr, Veniot: The man brought. ;be-
fore the court was not the mail con-
tractor 'but the brother of the mail
contractor who sold the contract to
hint at $100 less than what he was
getting front the government,
Mr. Spotton Does the Postmaster-
General mean to, tell this house that
these contracts are sold from ane
dean to another?'
11Ir. Veniot: 'Yes, we discovered that
this titan vas doing it.
?r. Spotton: tend the Postmaster
General is telling the lioui;e that he
permits a retail contractor-
Mr. Veniert:'No, I dill not say that:
Mr. Sptitton: ->--to sell a' contract---:
Mr. Vcnjot:;Not at all. When we
discovered it we can 11 1 ti

Mr. `Spotton;- And I suppose the
f'ostmastcr General: discovered it
when it was brought to his attention
in this house; therefore that is one
reason he does not like to 'listen to

suggesting that, the Postmaster Gen-

(The Doctor of Towns)
Says
HOW DO LITTLE BIRDS KNOW WHEN "IT AIN'T GONNA
RAIN NO MORE"?
One day last summer I sat out on. the lake front watching the
play of both young and old, when a storm came up.
' The wind blew out and the people flew in and the rain came
down in torrents. Lightning flicked wickedly over the water and the
waves rolled to shore with adornment. -
It was very apparent where the people went. I did not note
where hid: the birds, but this I saw: the flies we all so detest, and
other such living flying things, 'tools refuge under the visor of my
windshield. They were not blown there, for the wind was in the
opposite direction—they carne there.
Then the birds came out, and immediately it stopped raining.
Who told the birds that the rain. would cease—what guided
the flies to an automobile
.Call it God --nature if you like—or instinct may suit your
pleasure; but call it what you may, who can sit'at the water's edge
in a raging storm, watching man and bird and insect and say there
is no great Master Mind? Where is the man who thinks his powers
of such import that he can match the gift that tells a little bird that
"It ain't gonna rain no more"?
Country man, go to the city; city man, go to the wide open
spaces, and there learn your insignificance. As big as you think
• you are, the greater man !You'll be when you recognize your little-
ness by 'comparison,
If ever there was a time when it behooved small cities and
towns to prepare for a big' opportunity, it is right now.
I3ig men, big industry and big town people are looking to the
smaller cities as they have never looked before,'
You may call it trend of the time if you like, but whatever
you Call it, it is one big grand opportunity for those who are wise
enough to. see it and' do ,something to get ready for it. . Leading
publications everywhere are printing special articles on it and it is
more and more a subject of conversation wherever big men get to-
gether publicly or in private conference.
•a 'recent issue of The American, Magazine, Henry Ford.
said: Is it efficient .for business to pay high land prices:and high
taxes in congested cities where its workers must pay exorbitant
rents?` )3y moving out, business cottld get lower land prices, lower
taxes and lower rents—and:far better living conditions for its people.
A bulletin recently. issued by the American. Highway Educa-
tional .l3ureau say: "Dependable all-weathei transportation .has al-
ready began to work wonders in the decentralization of inanufactur-
ing, with the result that more diversified forms of einployinent are
being brought to the country." This development, like many changes
in these whirligig days, has, been' going on so quickly and steadily
as to pass almost unnoticed: It has:conte to be a common remark
among .motorists upon' entering an unfamiliar town to ask, "What clo
they make. here?" It is no longer enough -.to say that it is an agri-
cultural town or an educational Centre, for surely they must be teak-
ing some,product or another which .the world at large uses. "It is
Often said, and with some degree oP truth, the bulletin admits, that
the delft .of population front farm to city remains unchecked, but
the faints are that this drift is. stopping short of the larger cities
and has begun to build up the towns and villages that lic so close
to and form such an integral part• oftheopen country."
The lesson to be lcarned is that highway • transportation is
a going business and still greater returns will - come from further
improvement. It will not be economy to let down in highway ex -
:tension programs because our state systems are so. well under way.
There are the main arteries, which, if widened --and they will be-'
hold even greater possibilities es trade channels.
GET READY --you never know when a scout for a' hit man or a big business Will be among you, He may be in your town now.
He will not come among yoti with blare of trumpets'; his report will'
not be• based 00 your-ifldfvidual likableness; or good fellowship of
the few shining lights, but on your town as it is—not as you believe
it to be, if you have ever thought about it at aft. .
I3ig men are hot interested in Hickvflle or Hickvilleites. They
believe as they have 'a right to believe, that tfieatttontebile and good
roads, radio, telephone and free marl delivery should have, by tiow,
taken the Hick out of Hickville. If it hasn't, if such things have riot
awakened
in the minds of towns the possibilities in the new order
of things, then some outer town is where they inust investigate.
Stand back and look at the picture of your community, Are
you ready for big things?

Mr, Veniot 1 ant amused at the
statelmnt you made.
Mr. Spottont I am not suggesting
that he can put into effect what is
now .the 'law in the United States; I
am not suggesting that he can give
at once what the rural mail carriers'
association are asking. It ns.y be too
much for the present. i3ut I plead
with hint to grant some relief, to give
some financial assistance to these
men, and to make their positions se-
curer Their positions then will be-
come permanent, and they will be able
to give better service to the country.
I wish the Postmaster General would
take a look at the little covered' wa-

then tell inc what use could. be made
of it on a farm, unless the -farmer has
a milk rru.ic, of about fifteen or twen-

CANADIAN NATIONAI
VETERANS HAVE LONG
SERVICE' RECORDS
Since the beginning of the present
year 67 employees of the Canadian
National Railways have been retired
with the approval of the Pension
Committee. The total years of ser-
vice represented b ythe records of
these men amounted to 2166,
The dean of these veterans is un-
doubtedly C. A. Deruchie, section
foreman, residing at Lancaster, Ont-
ario, who had ` an unbroken record
of 54 years and his entire carreer was
spent working on the .roadbed on that
section of the . Cornwall subdivision.
Mr, Deruchie started to work at the
age of 15 so that on retirement he
had not reached the span of life spu
ken. of b ythe Psalmist.
The seconl in seniority in this list
is J. Power, Montreal, a foreman in
the Motive Power. Shop at Point St.
Charles, who saw 49 years pass in
the employment of the company.
Next in point of "service is James
S. Crawford, of Sarnia, Ontario, an,
engineer, -who worked for 48 years.
G. W. Vincent, a sectionman, . at.
Crookston, Ontario, has a record of
47 years, which record is shared by
D.• Lockhead, supply car operator, at
the Montreal stores.
There are six men on the list each
of whom worked for 46 years, and
two who sei4ved 45 years each. Alto-
gether 18 employees possess rec :irds
of continuous service o ffrom 40 to
54 years, the average for all appear-
ing in this list being slightly over 32
years.

But such luxury es Pontiac Big six
provides is so: unusual in any save the.
higher priced cars that Pontiac is be-

And "luxury" means more than the

It includes the effortless steering
