REVIEW OF PARLIAMENT (By Thomas Wayling) The unemployment situation through- out Canada is becoming so serious that unless the government does some- thing about it, the situation will get beyond the ability of the government to cope with it. This was the warning uttered in the House of Commons Tuesday by Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Lead- er of the Opposition. d "The present position is such that there are people in Canada actually struggle was being waged behind tar- iff walls for monopolies.

The other conference would include employers and employees, provincial and municipal authorities, representa- tives of the transportation companies, the agricultural and women's organiz- ations, and other public bodies. This conference would meet in Ottawa and fully discuss the entire situation and plan what was to be done to meet it in the conning winter. From this con - The Minister of Labor had said that the policy of the government would continue to be one of reason- able assistance to the provinces and municipalities to cope with their re- spective problems. This policy would not end unemployment. The government had spent some of its twenty millions for unemployment.

The, taxation to be raised was to be taken from the poor and the rich escape. Delving into the motives behind the Budget and its concessions to the very rich, Mr. King saw, rising in' Canada, a Feudalism differing only in form from that of the middle, ages. SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, .IDLY 3, 1931. A GARDEN A garden sweet of roses, And foxglove pale I see, Where every flower beckons And whispers low to me, I've learned the lure of beauty From bud and bird and bee. There proud delphiniums flinging Their pennons broad and. high Have caught the blue and opal That tint the Western sky, Where fairy Ships from cloudland Go drifting idly by. The crimson of the rambler Rekindles, though apart, A train of recollections That bid the tear drops start; The secret of the red rose Is hidden in my heart. A dear, old-fashioned garden Fragrant with perfume rare, Fenced in so none can wander Beyond its borders fair, The lily and the iris Know naught of toil or care. A spot serene, sequestered, Where purple- pansies grow And flirt with every ,zephyr That happens there to blow, ., Where sunbeamskiss the grasses Because they lorve them so. H. ISABEL GRAHAM. A HOLIDAY WITH A PURPOSE One ,ought not to let this Summer pass without some progress—an aim- less vacation gets one nowhere. The Executive of Goderich Sum- mer School announces a very attrac- tive programme for this year. The School will gather on Monday, July. 20th, and at 8 o'clock in the evening the opening meeting will be held in North Street Church. Reverend Kenneth Beaton, B.A., Secretary of Home Missions of the United Church, will speak on "New Frontiers in Home Mission Work." This will be the Rally Night of the School and a "get together" of the Perth and Hur- on Y. P. Union. On Tuesday morn- ing the five days of study begin. The Reverend Dr. Langford, Secretary of Religious Education of the United Church, will give two periods each day on "Young People's Methods." Miss Constance Young, M.A., W.M.S. Secretary for Young Women's Work, will take the Home Missions group and study "World Friendships and Race Relationships." The Foreign Mission Group leader will be the Reverend Hugh MacMillan, B.A., of Formosa. The Fellowship and Worship group will have the President of the School, the Rev. R. R. Conner,"11.A., Kippen, for leader, and the Citizenshipp group will be under the leadership of the School's Vice President, the Rev. A. E. Doan, M.A., B.D., of Mitchhll. The Rev, Professor Davidson, of Emmanuel College, will be present again this year for a group study with the ministers. The afternoon will be given over to organized play. Each day's work begins and ends with a Bible study and worship per- iod. In the Vesper service the Rev. W. P. Lane, B.A., will consider "Some Things that Matter for the New Day," and the morning theme, "With Jesus in His Morning" will be discussed by Rev. Charles Malcolm, M.A., Secre- tary of the ,School. . The meals will be served in Victoria Street Church, and the studies carried on in North Street Church. The public will be invited to attend the four evening meetings in North Street Church on Monday, the Rally. night; Tuesday, when Prof. Dearle, of Western University, will speak on "The Cold that Keeps"; Wednesday, when the speaker will be Miss Con- stance Young, M.A., and Friday, to hear Rev.

Yet in the face of all this distress the government exempted its wealthy friends from their share of the bur- den. "There was never anything done by a government that bas met with such universal resentment in Canada as ex- empting those who have Iarge for- tunes," said Mr. King. "I do not care what their number is. The fewer the greater reason it should not be done.

Salvation Army fbr the Prevence o, Alberta, has had a varied e;,pperienee in his chosen work. Commissioned as an Officer , of the Army in 1899, Major Habk b'k's first appointment was at Bismarck, North Dakota, which was followed by field appointments at Neepawa, Exnereon,. Dauphin, Brandon and Winnipeg iu Manitoba; Fort William, Wetaskiwin, Eln»onton and Moose Jaw. Forsak- ing for 'a time the purely spiritual side of the work Major Habkirk then entered the men's social work, and held important appointments at Ham- ilton, Toronto and Vancouver. Again returning to the field work he was for a year divisional officer at Wrangel, Alaska, which appointment he relinquished in 1918 in order to proceed to Winnipeg to engage in the Armyls work among the returning soldiers. In 1920, following the Armistice, Major Habkirk was for two years one of the Army's immigration officers at Winnipeg, during which time he tour- ed Great Britain lecturing in the in- terests of the Army's immigration schemes. His next appointment was as social efforts secretary at the territorial headquarters in Winnipeg and from there was transferred to Saskatoon as divisional commander. Having held his appointment at Saskatoon for some 12 months, he returned to the Army's headquarters at Winnipeg as trade and property secretary, an appointment he held for eve years and which he gave up in order to take his present appoint- ment in Edmonton. One of his most treasured recollec- tions is that as a young officer of some five years' standing he was ap- pointed as delegate from Western Canada to the congress of officers which met in London, England, in 1904, at which thousands of officers from allparts of the world met to consider the problems of their work and to inspire eac;3 other with stories of the Army's success in many lands. FIREMEN'S TOURAMENT AT CLINTON With 24 district municipal fire com- panies represented, 15 of them with full membership in attendance, the annual 'convention and tournament of the Ontario West Volunteer Firemen's Association, held in Clinton on Wed- nesday, proved one of the biggest ev- ents in Clinton's history. Nearly 200 delegates arrived ou Tuesday for the convention session, while thousands of Huron County res-. 'dents gathered for the sports at Re- creation Park on Wednesday. The program was started with a monster parade of the district com- panies, each town having its band in the procession. Just before the parade moved off from the fire hall, the war memorial was decorated with flowers. The parade was led by Mayor S. S. Cooper, Reeve G. H. Elliott and Coun- cillors W. S. R. Holmes, F. Livermore, 0. L. Paisley, G. W. Cook, Bert Lang- ford and H. Crich. The town fathers were followed by the Clinton Kiltie Band, under the direction of B. J. Gibbings. Volunteer companies from Elmira, Baden, New Hamburg, Tavistock, Mitchell, • Seaforth, St. Marys, Hen - sell, Goderich, Blyth, Milverton, Listowel, Burlington, Palmerston and Clinton had their bands in the parade, while Wingham, Lucknow, Kincardine, New Dundee, Exeter, Zurich, Brus • sels, Mount Forest and Harriston were represented. The Mitchell Volunteer Company were judged' smartest ip appearance in the parade. while the St. Marys Company came a close second. The Burlington Brigade, not a volunteer company, and therefore not eligible for a prize, presented a very smart appearance and gave an interesting exhibition drill before the grandstand. The Baden Volunteer Company won the prize for the oldest apparatus in the parade. Their equipment was ancient indeed and consisted of old watering cans, a pump and old hose mounted on a truck, washtubs and a potato sprayer. Their uniforms were in keeping with the apparatus. consisting of wide -brimmed straw hats, red shirts, breeches and leggings. The Elmira Company was awarded the prize for corning the longest dee- tance, having driven 79 miles to the parade, while the Milverton Company was second. fire Chief P. E. Steinman, of Tavistock, was declared the oldest fire chief in attendance. Mr. Steinman is 72 years old and has been chief of his company ever since it was form- ed. Ho will hold that position as Iong as he lives, according to men of his company. Keen competition featured the fire- mep's sport events at the recreation park. The hose reel race, which tested the speed of the companies, was won by the Tavistock Company, who succeeded in laying and coupling the hose in 261h seconds. Blytjn was second, doing the job in 29 seconds. In the ladder rescue race, which provided real entertainment for the spectators, Tavistock was declared the winner, making. the "rescue" in 22% seconds. Mitchell came second with 28 seconds and Goderich third, doing the task in 29 seconds. The relay race, run by firemen in heavy rubber boots, was won by the Mitchell Company with Goderich a close second. G. McLaughlin, of Mitchell, wen the firemen's 100 -yard dash and Ed. Haffner, chief of the Elmira 'Company, won the fire chiefs' dash. The tug-of-war was won by Gode- rich team of eight who succeeded in pulling the New Hamburg company NAME HASKiRK NEW JUDGE OF JUVENILE COURT The'following from a recent issue of The Edmonton Bulletin, will be of interest to many friends here as Major Habkirk is an old town boy and a nephew of the late. James Cowan, of Seaforth: "Recognizing the devotion which Major Hector C, Habkirk, Salvation Army, has shown in aiding juveniles who have fallen afoul of the law, an order in council has been passed by the provincial government appointing Major Habkirk juvenile court judge in succession to Bishop H. A. Gray, who recently retired from active work. The order in council is dated May 23rd of this year, and in -a covering letter sent to Major Habkirk by Geo. B. Henwod, deputy attorney -general, it is stated that the offeme carries with its appointments as justice of the peace and commissioner of oaths in and for Alberta, Major Habkirk has been in Edmon- ton for 10 months in his present work and is district social officer for the whole ,province of Alberta. He has been of a great deal of help to the authorities in the handling of 'teen age delinquents who have come up before the magistrates, and was re- cognized as probation offieer in addi- tion.

' the acre and this can certainly be much improved upon. For the mea- dows, good drainage and sweet soil are very important. Roots of grass- es and clovers are slow to penetrate wet soils and wherever there is a sur- plus of water on the soil, air is shut out and hence the bacterial life is' either weakened or killed. Another point in meadow improvement is the use of high quality seed. If poor seed is used the meadow starts out with a handicap. Good drainage, good seed, and a liberal supply of suitable fert- ilizer makes profitable meadows. Northern Ontario is becoming more and more a very productive mixed farming area. Last year an enorm- ous quantity of blueberries were ship- ped from that district. They were of a high quality and found a ready mar- ket. During the height of the season as many as 1,100 baskets were ship- ped daily from North Bay by express. Milk Records Help The value of milk records in im- proving herd condition is the sub- ject of an interesting reference, in the annual report of the work of Illustration Stations' for 1930, which has just been issued. In 1928 the average production from eighteen test herds was 6,442 pounds of milk; for 1930 the individual average was 7,073, an increase of 631 pounds of milk per cow over a period of two years. Only by actual knowledge of what each cow in his dairy herd is producing can the farmer to -day eliminate the "boarders" 'and in- crease total production and the earn- ing power of this phase of his farm. - ng operations. Why Hens Stop Laying A flock that has laid heavily dur- ine the winter will generally slow up toward the middle of the summer when they begin to moult, but when the egg yield drops rapidly until it practically ceases without any appar- ent reason, then suspect vermin. Body lice, which remain on the birds, and the red mite which infests the pouI- try house during the day, returning to the birds at roosting time, cause heavy losses. Mr. F. C. Elford, Do- minion Poultry Husbandman, recom- mends for the farmer dusting the birds for lice powder and applying blue ointment beneath the wings; and for the red mite he recommends a Foul Brood Prevalent Apiary inspectors of 0. A. C. are finding in parts of the counties of Lambton, Simcoe .and Grey the pre- sence of the older virulent type of European Foul Brood and it is sig- nificant that in these localities the bees are mostly black. This variety of bee is particularly susceptible to European Foul Brood. Apiculture de- monstrations were recently held in the counties of Ontario, Victoria and Simcoe. In an effort to lower the cost of producing queens, the De- partment at 0. A. C. has establishei a dozen baby nuclei. Weekly Crop Report Weather conditions have been very favorable in most parts of the prov- ince, and the outlook is very promis- ing for fall wheat, alfalfa and clover. Cutting of alfalfa has been under way in many districts and the crop is fairly heavy. The frequent showers and warm weather have been very favorable for corn in Western On- tario.
