IT WOULD BE EASIER
ON THE TAXPAYER
The Provincial Treasurer has admit-
ted that there will be a deficit of one
million dollars inthe finances of On-
tario for the present year.
There are a good many people who
are willing to bet that the amount on
the debit side of the ledger will be
considerably more than that when the
financial report actually makes its ap-
pearance.
The provincial treasurer, however,
should be in a position to know, so
for the sake of peace we will take his
figure. One million dollars is enough
anyway, no one should wish for a
bigger deficit.
We are all agreed that there is go-
ing to be a deficit and to meet it the
Government has already increased
taxes along some lines. The tax on
Automobiles and trucks has been re-
arranged and increased all round. In
some cases a little, and in some a
lot. Enough at any rate to bring in-
to the treasury an additional sum of
two million dollars.
But a million or two dollars addi-
tional in taxes will not provide for
this year's deficit and guarantee a
surplus for next year. Not by any
means. That is why the car license

Expositor that Brucefield helped wl
sending the foodstuffs to the North-
west with the other places. It was
fine, no doubt, the senders being as
happy to give as those who received.
This is a great time for giving as so
many are poor everywhere. Los An-
geles has just finished filling its
"community chest" for the poor. It
certainly was a large amount, blit peo-
ple mostly gave willingly, a number
of men each giving a thousand dol-
lars. Will Rogers, humorist, gave
five thousand. He always gives will-
ingly of his time, talents and money
for the poor. The city was canvassed
so all gave more or less. Yesterday
was Thanksgiving. My it is a great
feast day. Turkey and pumpkin pie
have their innings; thousands of poor
people were fed; baskets of food were
sent out to homes, as there are so
many out of employment. Church
services were held all over the city
and a large outdoor meeting was held
when a choir of five ,hundred supplied
the music, thousands of worshippers
attending to give thanks to God. Foot-
ball has now its innings. Such crowds
attend. They forget the hard times.
They are mostly college teams and
what cheering they get when they
come home triumphant. The rainy
season has commenced. How thank-
ful people are for rain as water is
never as plentiful in California. Peo-
ple are coming in for the winter, a
goodly number from Canada to enjoy
the sunshine. Best wishes to all old
friends. 'Bessie McGregor."
- Y. P. L. Met.—The Young People's
Society of Brucefield United Church
held their regular -meeting on Mon-
day evening last. 'This meeting was
in charge of the Citizenship Convenor,
Dorothy Broadfoot. The meeting op-
ened with short sing -song followed by.
the Scriptures, read responsively, af-
ter which Flora Souter gave the cur-
rent events for the evening. Dorothy
Broadfoot then led in prayer. A read-
ing by William McLaughlan was much
enjoyed by all. The topic for the -ev-
ening was given by Alice Thompson.
This topic on Canada's opportunity
proved very interesting and was very
ably, taken. A very lively discussion
arose from the topic. Miss Jean Mur-
dock sang a pleasing solo, "Pass It
On." Everybody then enjoyed a game
of Bible baseball. The president,
Fred Boyce, then took the ,chair and
the business was discussed. An ex-
citing game of stations was played
and the meeting closed with a hymn
and the Mizpah Benediction.
CROMARTY
The services last Sabbath were
conducted by the Rev. Mr. Goodwill,
of Blyth. Both morning and evening
services were well attended, Mr.
Goodwill preaching two very able and
inspiring sermons. Mr. Goodwill re-
mained over for the fowl supper on
Tuesday evening, giving an address
which was sparkling with good wit
and humor. Miss 'Rutledge, of Zurich,
elocutionist, was the central enter-
tainer for the evening, and was very
much enjoyed. The Cromarty Quart-
ette gave some very fide selections
in their own capable good style. A
good crowd attended the supper, some
coming from Stratford, Seaforth,_Exe-.
ter and other points.

other things which the every day man
has come to• look upon as necessities.
Now, how would it be if the Ontario
Government, if instead of racking
their brain to find ways and means of
increasing the public taxes, turned
their attention for the first time to
considering ways and means of spend-
ing less of the people's money?
Of course, the Government that is
not a spending government, is not a
popular government, but if the mem-
bers of that Government are states-
men, rather than politicians, the wel-
fare of the' country should come be-
fore the welfare of the party.
The Ontario Government could
spend not one or two but ten million
dollars less next year than they spent
this, without hurting any but a few
mud larks, a great many political par-
asites and possibly an equal number
of professional uplifters. Not one
township in the Provinne would be in-
convenienced by this saving, and it
would be so much more easy on the
ta xpayer.

- RURAL CHANGES
The St. Marys Journal Argus in a
recent issue says:
It seems to us the rural country-
side has lost something on its roman-
tic side the past few years by the
wiping out of innumerable post office
.corners with their euphonious names
and old associations, through the in-
troduction of rural mail routes. Nowa-
days the ordinary individual cannot
tell where a farmer lives by his post
office address. It will be a route num-
ber of some town, perhaps fifteen
miles distant. Such neighborhood
titles are .Wildwood, Glengowan,
Brown's Corners, Fish Creek, Conroy
and Cherry Grove, stir up fond mem-
ories in the minds and hearts of all
who were. boys and girls in this dis-
trict a generation ago. The inception
of rural routes has done away with
them so far as the post office is con-
cerned but the names linger on in
common usage not only from habit
and sentiment but for practical rea-
sons. It would be well to encourage
the continued use of these old neigh-
borhood names.
The St. Marys editor is not alone
in this belief. There are few towns
of any size in Ontario which at one
time did not have surrounding them a
circle of well known community cen-
tres, in the form of small villages,
whose post office name was a house-
1'old word inevery family.
With the 'advent of the automobile
and rural mail, many of these useful
and popular centres have dwindled
and died, until, in many cases, there
is nothing to distinguish their site
