The, arresting character of political
events does not exclude the fact that
parliament, which has just closed, ac-
complished a great deal of beneficial
legislation. Other sessions which
Lave been very much longer have done
much less. The budget, of course, is
of outstanding importance in its re-
lief in some instances from the bur-
dens of the tariff, but also, if protec-
tion is a burden, it is increased in cer-
tain ways.
The whole thing is a very compree
hensike enactment, far-reaching in its
,consequences and, as has been observ-
ed before, it is a skillfully balanced,
affair. Increases find compensation
in decreases, and if the tariff is put
up against one conntry, it is lowered
agamit 'another. Thus, the general
equilibrium is maintained.
Pension Bill Generous.
The soldiers' pension bill is exceed-
ingly generous in its revisions. The
scale is not changed, because it is
claimed that Canada has always been
paying more liberal pensions than any
other country, but the qualifying con-
sations have been made much easier,
while the machinery through which
penedons may be secured is wholly re-
inljasted and made more easily oper-
ative.
Then there is provision for the
“bmnit out" veteran, the man who is
not eligEble for a pension, but who de-
velops disability not attributable to
war service. If he is a married man
he will get an allowance of $40 a
month; if. he is single it will be $20.
The cost to the country of these im-
proved conditions will be great. It
will -naturally be larger as the years
go by and more people benefit by it.
The ultimate extra cost will be about
$28,000,000. Canada since the war,
has spent $625"0,Q00 on the soldiers.
Natural Resources Returned.
In another noteworthy series of leg-
islation, the provinces of Manitoba,
askatchewan and Alberta get pos-
session of their natural resources
hitherto under federal administration,
and they also receive the subsidy
which has been paid in lieu of them.
This is considered a great concession,
not so much in handing back the pub-
lic domain, but in continuing, also, the.
subsidy, and in increasing it from year
to year to a stated maximum.
In the same category is assistance
to the coal and steel industries of
Nova Scotia and lower freight rates
for the mritime provinces; these im-
plementing the findings of the com-
mission, that the insular provinces by
the sea are entitled to special cOnsid-
eration.
Liquor Bill Rectified.
Then there is the liquor export pro-
hibition, in which, by the way, the
scrutinizing Senate discovered a pal-
pable error quite unnoticed in the
House of Commons. The government
bill intended to provide that the ex-
portation of liquor from Canada
should be prohibited to any country
which prohibits its importation, but
the way the bill went through it read
that the exportation should be pro-
hibited to any country which prohib-
ited "exportation." Happily, the error
was discovered in the senate and rec-
tified in both honses, otherwise the
whole thing might have been nulli-
fied, because, obviously, the United
States is not in the liquor exportation
business.
Other international treaties which
have been given sanction are those
ich provide for co-operative effort
Metween the United States and Can-
ada in preserving the sockeye salmon
on the Fraser River in British Co-
lumbia and also regulating the hali-
but fisleeries between British Colum-
bia and Alaska. And, of course, a
very noted accomplishment was the
creation of divorce courts in Ontario,
with the double effect of relieving the
',Senate of a very burdensome work,
and at the same time keeping home
those Ontario people who have been
accustomed to go over to Detroit to
qualify for and get divorce.
Bucketing Penalty Stiffened.
Amendments to the Criminal Code,
while not entirely sanctioned make
provision against bucketing which,
following the stock market crash of
last fall, was disclosed to be such a
common practice among mining brok-
ers. On this point the law is mater-
ially jacked up and the penalties
made more severe. While the session
has lasted only about three months
it has been, as stated, most note-
worthy in the sum total of its legis-
lative aghievements.
Liberal government came into office,
Ontario has been paid in round fig
ures 33 millions, Quebec 26 millions,
Niova Scotia ten millions, New Bruns-
wick, nine millions, Prince Edward
Island four millions, Manitoba fifteen
millions, Saskatchewan eighteen mil-
lions, Alberta fifteen millions and
British Columbia nine millions. It
follows from all this that the Can-
adian Premier hardly meant what he
said and did a great injustice to him-
self when making the five cent utter-
ance that is being harped uponso
much. However, that can hardly be
an election issue.
Battle Royal Expected.
The -fight is going to be a hard one,
because all the Conservative provin-
cial governments will be arrayed
against the federal ministry openly
and actively. Probably they would
have been anyway, but now they
make clear their intention. There
are Conservative governments in
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario,
Saskatchewan and British Columbia.
Liberals are in office in Quebec and
Prince Edward Island, Liberal -pro-
gressives in Manitoba, while in Al-
berta it is a Farmer administration.
Incidentally two provincial electione
are being held ti?is month. Out in
Alberta the Farmer government is
appealing for a renewal of its man-
date and doubtless wig get it. The
New Brunswick legislature has also
been dissolved hurriedly and an elec-
tion precipitated in the shortest time
possible, namely, with three weeks
notice. The voting in both places will
occur on the nineteenth. Ine New
Brunswick the result will have a con-
sequential effect on the federal elec-
tion because there is littre `distinction
between, the two. The common in-
ference is that the local government
is pretty strongly entrenched. They
hope to be returned and buoy up the
party spirits in the Dominion fight,
but should they be defeated, which
seems unlikely, or even if they have
a close call, the effect will be the
other way.
Annual Live Stock And
household Science Judging
Competition
The fourth annual Huron County
Live Stock and Household Science
Judging 'Competitions will be held at
Seaforth on Friday, Jane 201.h, cern-
mtencing at 9 a.m.
The attendance at the three prev-
ious competitions has been very good
and it is expected that the competi-
tion this year will be equally well at-
tended.
From the high boys and girls in
the live stock and the household sci-
ence competitions will be chosen the
teams to represent the county at the
tnter-county competitions at Toronto
next fall. Huron County teams have
made an excellent showing in the past
and the success of the teams this year
is largely dependent upon a well pat-
ronized competition. It is hoped that
everyone eligible will take advantage
of this and be present Friday, June
20th.

The Department of Social Science
provides courses for two classes of
students, rated Class A and Class B
aceording to their educational prepar-
ation.
Class A students are University
graduates who have had substantial
preparation in the social sciences, or
who have shown such competence in
other fields as to indicate equivalent
preparation for social work.
Class B students are other Univers-
ity graduates .or non -graduates with
honor matriculation standing.
In general students in this depart-
ment' must be between the ages of
21 and 35. All diploma students, that
is students seeking the diploma of the
Departrnent of Social Science, are ad-
mitted on probation, and if in the
opinion of the .staff anyone is unlike-
ly to succeed) in social work that
student may be advised to withdraw.
The course is a well arranged course
of two years, with certain optional
subjects according to the particular
branch of social work which a student
may have in view.
Pupils and parents interested would
do well to write to the De,partment of

HURON COUNTY
COUNCIL
The Huron County Council met for
its June session on Tuesday, June
3rd, at 2 p.m., per adjournment in
January.
The Warden was in the chair a-nd
the roll call showed all the members
present.
The minutes of the last session were
read and adopted.
The Warden then addressed the
council on the work of the session. He
complimented the members on the
fact that the council -was meeting
without a break in the membership.
He extended the sympathy of the
council to Mr. Henderson, of, Morris,
and County Clerk Holnian in the be-
reavement that had come to them
since the last session.
The county indebtedness was then
touched on regarding the building of
roads and the Warden said that the
Good Roads Commission would carry
out their programme of improvement
on the 2 mill rate, and that the $15,000
overdraft would also be taken care of.
There were many narrow and dan-
gerous roads to be taken care of as
well as many narrow bridges in many
parts of the county, and it had been
decided to take care of these narrow
places and make them safe for travel
The Childre-n's Shelter, the Warden
said, had grovin to be a considerable
problem and much more was involved
in the work at present than formerly
since the children of unmarried par-
ents Act had come into force.
The County Home was carrying on
in the usual way and the Manager
and Matron had been doing good
work. It had been proposed to buy
some more land for the Home, but
the increase of members receiving
pensions through the council woula
very materially reduce the cost to the
county.
With regard to the Old Age Pen-
sions Committee there had been much
criticism and he considered the poi
tion of the committee a very undesir-
able one in many ways. It was very
hard for a member to report against
people claiming a pension in his in-
spection area. Since its formation
the committee had dealt with 570 ap-
plications; 436 had been reported
passed, while with those recently sent
down there would be 500 receiving
pensions in June.
Regarding the matter of a traffic
officer he thought the time would soon
come when the county should have
two officers, as the work was very
much increased and the danger from
overspeeding becoming continually
greater.
At the conclusion of the Warden's
address to thecouncil, the following
correspondence and other matters to
he brought to the attention of the
council were read:
From E. L. MacNachton, Clerk of
the United Counties of Northumber-
land and Durham, enclosing a resolu-
tion of the county council of that cor-
poration, with reference to memoral-
izing the Provincial Legislature to re-
lieve all counties of all expenses and
payments regarding Old Age Pen-
sions.—Sent to Legislative Commit-
tee.
From John E. Peart, Clerk of Went-
worth County, enclosing a resolution
of the county council of that county
to meraoralize the Ontario Govern-
ment to assume all costs of Provincial
highways.—Sent to Legislative Com-
mittee.

CHATS ON EDUCATION
(At the Principal's Desk)
There has been some disappoint-
ment, almost consternation, in the
hearts of some of the finest of the
noting women in this district who
have been looking forward to a life
of useful and dignified service with
reasonable rewards in the great pro-
fession of nursing, at the recent re-
ports that the nursing profession is
beginning to be overcrowded.
To these it may be welcome news
that as the ranks of the one profes-
sion are being filled up, another ani
larger profession that makes much
the same appeal, is opening up, the
profession of Social Service.
The profession of Social Service is
a profession for both men and women
for whish the fundamental training is
furnished by the Department of Social
Science of the University of Toronto.
The development of great indus-
trial organizations brought a re -cogni-
tion that it was good tipsiness for
the employer of thousands as well as
for the employer of a few to take an
active and intelligent interest in the
physical, mental and social welfare of
employee's. This recognition opened
up in industry a large field of work
for those who have been trained in
social work, and was one of the rea-
sons for the establishment sixteen
years ago of the Department of Social
S,cience at Toronto University.
During the past thirty years there
has been a growing recognition of the
need of that human interest and in-
telligent help that would reduce the
numbers of the needy dependertt or
useless members of society and assist
those in difficulty to become self-re-
specting and efficient. The result has
been the development of Neighborhood
Workers' Associations, Community
Centre Work in rural areas, Juvenile
Court Work, Social Settlement Work,
and the administration of new laws
providing 1Viothers" Allowances, Old
Age Pensions, Workmen's Compensa-
tion. All of these activities call for
trained workers who have the proper
educational foundation, who love to
meet people and who have the inter-
est in human welfare.
It is gratifying to find that with
the risi-ng standards of training of so-
cial worikers and the increasing op-
portunities, the trained social worker
can to -day, either in industry or in
the other fields. mentioned, look for-
ward to financial rewards that com-
pare favorably with the other profes-
King Speech Attacked. 'en
In the election campaign which Is
now on, the Conservatives are going
to make a great deal of what is known
as the "five cent speech" of Premier
King. The "context of his speech was
wholly to ahe contrary of any such
theory.
What the Canadian Premier had
in mind was that the primary respon-
sibility of unemployment is on the
municipalities, and secondly on the
provinces, but if they are unequal to
cope with it, the federal government
then will aid. He evidently suspected
that the, Conservative party has been
playing up the unemployment and
trying to tack it on the Dominion
government. However, it was an ill-
advised statement to make a n d
actually quite untrue, because, as a
matter of fact, the relations at Ottawa
and the provincial governments, re-
gardless of political stripe, has been
friendly .and the assistance from the
federal treasury •most generous. Be-
fore the close of Parliament some fig-
ures were brought down showing the

Mr. Armstrong inquired re the pay-
ment of the school inspectors, and
when the act came into force. He
was. informed that the act came into
force on July 1st, 1930'.
Mr. Trewartha brought up the pay-
ment to committees and thought that
some action should be taken to make
the same uniform and suggested a by-
law.
The Warden referred to the same
matter and a general discussion took
place, re the work and pay of a com-
mittee man.
The Warden explained that the
work of a committee man was not
confined to one day but that his time
was taken up a great deal besides the
days of meeting.
