Arid added, "We are gradually getting rid of the oppressive ugliness of our communities." Oppressive ugliness: a good house n,ext to a shack; a beautiful lawn with a vacant lot overgrown with weeds adjacent; unsightly outbuildings; highway entrances cluttered up with nondescript, claptrapo unpainted and otherwise obnoxious billboards; store signs of every sort, shape"and destrip- tion protrudieg at all sorts of angles from store buildings -some high, seme low -all derogatory to any sense of attractiveness; poorly kept streets, open dumps, unpainted, buildings, a dilapidated square, tin can alleys, visible pol- iution of streams, and ugliest and most oppressive of all -a citizenship with an inferiority complex one devoid of civic pride. Oppressive ugliness is that which -makes residents of a community say, "Oh, you won't mind that after you've lived here awhile"; and the absence of whieh makes a stranger say, "I like this place." Oppressive ugliness is that which creates atmosphere. How often have you gone into communities or mercantile establishments and given as a rea- son for not being sold on the place that there is no "atmosphere?" Atmosphere is that which invites or repels; atmospheee is the makbag .or losing of sales, prestige and good vrill. Oppressive ugliness relates materially to appearance. How does your town look to a customer? Eighty per cent. of those things purchased to- day are sold through; or influenced by the eye. Therefore, how your town or community looks is important. This is the season of the year when everything oppressive should be annihilated. Nat4re is ready to help make things attractive. Start now to help take your town or community to a good old-fashioned house-cleaning: clean it up -scrub it up -dress it up: --and keep it upl Jnclude yourself in the cleaning: get rid of the mental cobwebs that snake everything about your place of abode sq commonplace. Rid yourself of the superstition and prejudice that your town cannot be as modern, at- tractive and interesting as any city anywhere. Like life, your tow -n or community is what you and the rest of the peo- ple like you work to make it. It is just a big or just as little as the people sin it, Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone. Repr uction prohibited in whole or in part. This Town, Doctor Article, one of a series of fifty-two, is published by The Expositor in co-operation with the Seaforth Lions Club. The House is closed foe the Easter recess. The halls are quiet, save where here and there a Member too far from home to return or with a burning ambition to solve some prob- lem in soltitude, lingers over his task. The last debate contained a few thoughts which may be used to point a moral. The subject was the Grain Act. It might as well have been any other question, the tariff, the man- agement of the Railways. the build- ing of the Chignecto Canal or Mari- time Rights, so far as this partioular point is concerned. Generally speaking, Members of Parliamelet are not well informed That is true, not alone of Members of Paeliament, but of every other class sin the community. The writer of this particular screed its not taking unction to himself or assuming that he is well. informed. The work of the Ifouse of Commons covers practically evegy siiegle problem which touches the national life of the Dominion of Canada. Under the circumstances would be wildly absurd to imagine that every man In the House of Com- mons could be an authority upon ev- ery subject. No Man Krormia The fact is that he is not. If Ise spreads himself over the entire range, he spreads out too thin and the re- sult is that he gives the iinpression of being an "M.S." which. being ha terpreted, means "Master of Surfac- es." The remedy for this conditiOn is that a Member of Parliament should try and make himself master ef' one particular subject. If he makes himself a master of one sub- ject, he will amount to semething. Think -what the world ,frould have lost if Henry Ford had epread hes activities over everything that takes place in the United States, instead of concentrating upon -the great problem which he had in hand. the manufac- ture of a cheap and efficient "Lizzie." Ithepposing Bernard Shaw had scat- tered, instead of concentrating, the work ef his mind. He might have accomplished little. All those bright and 'scintillating remarks which came from him and which come from him Slow, might have fallen dead and flat upon an indifferent world. The same is true in regard to the work of the Member of the House. If he is to be an expert upon everything, it will end tip in his being an expert in nothing mid in being, more or less, hopeless in se far as his,service to his con- stituency and to his country is con- cerned. Shining Examples. Let us take particular examples from different sides of tbe House. Joan Millar, Member for Qu'Appelle, has made a snecial study of the Pro- tein Test as a means of grading wheat. He has been thorough in his work. One need not necessarily agree with his conclusion, but the ,fact is that Millar. by penetrating to the bottom of this question, has been able to ineke a contributitrn to the House. W. G. Ernst, M.P., (Queens- . Lunenburg), has given considerable itberntion to the question of Revere - ens. He is silo developing a tend- ency to pry into Public Accounts. E. !himself a farmer, has made special study a the Cenatitational question mid can speak with a good deal of clarity upon the problems involved Ria our N tional Statue. E. J. Young, Member for Weyburn, Is an expert on the Dumping Act and ora Section . aa rticularly intricate motion of the Customs Act. Dr. Donnelly and clock" Valiance are keen etridento o'2 the woeklego of the Grain Act. Now tlhese are only eatamplee mono or le= at random of tem liar teak and Who ther ore teem triter House. There are many others do- ing similar work. Needed An. Agricultural Critic. Just at the moment there are seme things which are distinctly lacki4ig. Since Dr. Tolmie disappeared from the House to become the Leadsr of the Conservative Party in the Prov- ince of British Columbia, there is not upon the "Tory" side, a good and competent critic on agricultural prob- lems. Then where would you find in the House, outside of the Minister of Railways himself, a man who is a competent critic or even a student of Railway Administration? That is one weakness of this Parliament. la needs upon the Conservative side, two or three men who are capable of ex- amining in some detail, the opera- tions of the Canadian National Rail- ways and comparing it with the op- eration of other roads in order • to bring to the front, certain facts which might enable the kpeoPle to get a clearer understanding of our prob- lems. Of course if the ,Conservative Party was in power. the same thing would be needed upon the Libenal side. Then there is one other feature sad- ly lacking upon the Liberal side of the House -that is frank criticism. There is the tendemcy to accept with- out dispute, all acts of the Govern- ment. •Such an attitude does not m,ake for the welfare of the Parta. The strength of a Party rests in its robust 'freedom. If the rank and file accept every expenditure, every item of the Government, eversi• Act of legislation, without challenge or Ms- cuesion, then that party is weakened -the Government becomes less effici- ent and. in the end, it results in the internal decay of the Party in which the subservient acquiesceece develops. There is no doubt of the fact that there are many items carried out by the Government in which there is a lack of general approval. Yet such is the stern habit developed by Par- liamentary Government that acts whether wise or otherwise are ac- cepted by the Party in power and criticised by the opposing side. The Other Side. The exactly opposite charatteeistic developed from the Conservative side of the HouSe. An Act may be per- fectly right and proper. A section of the Budget may represent a splen- did achievement on the part of the Government. It makes no difference what it is, it will receive severe criti- cism from the other side because it is a proposal of the Governmeet The result is that the Conservative Party loses its sincerity and sincerity is the real genius of criticism. Farmer Members. Then that distinguished section of the House which may be toloquially known as the "South -East Corner" or also deserves attention. It will be recalled that in the old days they made their violent protest against the influenee of the Party Whip and a- gainst the caucus. They now out- cauc-us either or the two old Parties. It is the flat rule of their caucus thet everybody must obey and what the caucu,s decides to do. the Mem- bers do. Then consider the amend- ment moved to the Budget this year, It proposes an berease in, the British Preference. It is worded and fram- ed for tactical politieal purposes. One may question very much whether that particular Party would reduce the tariff in that way if it were returned to power to -morrow, but the glorioes idea of being able to tell the Liberals that they are not following their own policy is too great a Party triumph to be ignored and ao the Progressives word a tactic resolution which was tbe sort of thing they despised and despised deeply when thos happened te be criticising the sate of Who old partilea 'rime are rawiblina eriticiorna. Thin!: not for a MenVent that &ay men or particular parties mentioned All men, all parties are ranch alike. They reveal however, weaknesses of the House of pommons, 'weaknesses Which must be etrengthenecl if these parties are to. make forward progress. Ail this goes further back -directly back to the constitu.encies. Men are soiso.etimes chosen for parliamentary honors because they put on a bold front. As one man rem,arked el a certain gentleman in the House on.e, day: "He has a Cathedral front and a Waterbury mo-vement." Thera are too many strong fronts with nothing to them. Others are selected for their wealth -relatively few are chosen for their genius and capacity for censtrue- tive political activity. Wihen we have found fault with the three political parties, the last challenge must be to the constituency -the constituency must be better than it is, it must be more careful in its choice of members, before Parliament can be, what it ought to be, honest, capable of con- structive thought and proper direc- tive effort.

In spite of this fact, there was a large crowd and s record show of stock. Especially was this so in the cattle classes, where the entry wee the largest yet. een at this show. Hensel' and district contains some of the finest live stock in the Dominion and if there was only a little more co-operation between the farmers and the ehow directors, who ttee practically poweraas without the aid of the district, Hansen would have the finest Spring Fair in West- ern Ontario.

WALTON Address and Presentation. -Friends and neighbors numbering one hundred and twenty-five gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Staples or the 17th concession, Grey, on Wednesday evening, March 27th, to spend a social evening and bid them farewell be- fore their departure to their new home in Moose Jaw, Sask. The first part of the evening was spent in dancing and card playing until the lunch hour. After lunch was served, Mr. and Mrs. Staples were presented with an ad- dress, two travelling suitcases and a puree of money. The address was read by Mr. Harry Bolger and the presentation was made by Mr. John Ritchie. Mr. Staplee made a very fitting reply on behalf of himself and his wife, thanking his many friends for this demonstration of their kindly feeling towards them, and extending to each and ail a hearty invitation to visit them in their new home should any of them ever happen to be near enongh te do so. After Mr. Staples had finis'hed his reply. the assembled guest's joined heartily in singing "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows" fol- lowed by three ringing cheers for the Staptes fsmily. After this the guests again resumed dancing for some time, when, as some of the friends from a distatice were preparing to go borne, order was twain celled by the floor manager, Wes. Somers, and all agaie joined in singing "Auld Lang Syne." The remaining gnests then continued to device all the new frmeled one, two, three and four steps, waltzez, wee small boars load grown te be quite a size when ail deperted for their seveval homes, tlhantring tin mid Mrs. Staplest for their kind hospital- ity aed whaling them di owe= in theie steer home.
