Golding, M.P., Takes Part in Debate on, the Rhodes' Budget Now Be- fore Parliament. EULOGIZES LATE THOMAS ,McMILLAN W. H. Golding M.P. for Huron South, made his initial speech in the Canadian Haase of Commons- on Tuesday last. Mr. Golding, as re- ported in Hansard, said: Mr. Speaker, in rising to make my first speech in this house I have that .sense of embarrassment which I pre- sume every new member has experi- enced; but there is an old saying •that Misery likes company and there is solmle satisfaction in knowing that others have 'passed through the same ordeal. Alt the outset I .should like to say - that I hope the hon. member for Long Lake (Mr. Cowan), who has just taken his seat, will not think me discourteous if 3 do -not follow him in his remarks. As a matter of fact, I would not care to .folleee anybody in a ddeibatte wtho had made some of the remarks. made by the hon. msenr- ber. I have heard it said, Mr. Speaker, that this House of Commons is a strange and difficult place in which to speak. tI believe I can say I fully realize !the truth of the stategnlents I have heard to that effect. Many hon. tnemlbers who' now sit in this chamber have been highly honored by their constituents by the fact that time after time they have been elect- - ed to parliament, with the result that they have 'stptent., many years in this House of Commons. Those hon. members in their extensive parlia- mentary experienee have listened to the addresses of marry other hon. ameimbers and have heard many new members make their first speeches in the house. I appreciate the - fact that those •hone members, with the experience Of years behind them, are well acquainted. with,parliamentary procedure and with • the many views which have been expressed on politi- cal prabieinrs: -_ With those edv+anrtag- es they are therefore ,in a position to detect an error in a "speech, whe- "tbher it be •simrply granthrnatical or on a matter of policy. In view of these facts II appeal to hon. !numbers not to be too .harsh in their criticisms of •wrhnt I may have to say. The house is aware that as a re- sult of the by-election held in South Huron on October 3, I came to this House of Commons. I am sure all hon. members regret exceedingly the circwms'tanoes which brought about that by-election. 'I refer of course to -the unfortu`nate-death-ef -our hon- ored friend, . sehe late Mr. McMillan. Ile was a ream who to a marked de- gree had the confidence and respect of the electors of his constituency. Indeed, in making a personal canvass I was mare than pleased to hear so tenon' eoantp1ihi5lenttary remarks con- cerning our late friend, remarks which game from people entertain- ing all shades of political thought. While all did not agree with his poli- tical views, yet they realized that his opinions were (honest and sincere. From early: manhood, he had made,a shady of agricultural and politica/ problems; •indeed even at the early age of 18 years •I am told he was speaking from public platforms con- cerning these natters. For .over 50 years he had taken a leading part in the public diaeussion of political prob- le ntls. As the representative of the constituency which repeatedly hon- ored our late friend by electing him es its representative to the House of Commons, I take this ppportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to the right hon. 'Prime Minister (Mr. Ben- nett), to my honored leader (Mr. Mackenzie King), to the leader of the group to my left (Mr. Gardiner) and to all hots. 'Members in the house for their kindly references at the. opening of the session to''•the, passing of our friend. d thank them, further for their message of sympathy which -'was unanimously extended to his be- reaved daughter, 'Morse, Margaret. Let 'me assure the houseillhat these kind- ly acts were appreciated, and I feel I should be remuisrs in My duty were I not to offer' to all hon. members the grateful thanks of our people. (Continued next week.) • to • • 0 • • Tuesday Tuesday next will be a day of interest to farmers and towns- people when the annual Spring Show of the . Seaforth Agricul- tural Society 'will 'be held in Sea - forth. The prize list this year is especially .attractive and the officers and directors are spar- ing no pains to make this one of the /outstanding shows in the Society's history. In the even- ing a play and dance is being sponsored by the Society, which promises to be highly success- ful if the advance sale of tickets is any indication. The play, "Jimmy, Be Careful," is being presented by a Clinton 'caste, which come well recommended. Dancing, with music by the Maple Leaf Orchestra, will fol- low the play.

Mr. Henry J. Moore, of Islington, Ontario, while attending a meeting of,.,, the International Association of Gardener's in the Royal York Hotel ' in Toronto in August, 1929, proposed this wonderful plan of a peace gar-. ,den to be made somewhere along the international boundary between the United States and . Canada. Mr. Moore, "a man with a vision," is 'a graduate of Kew Gardens in Eng- land, and has organized many of the Horticultural Societies• in Ontario, and of Mho it ha's been said: "Moore puts Gad into a garden." So his plan was enthusiastically. endorsed; an International Peace Garden Assoc- iation was formed, consisting of 25 American , and 25 Canadian citizens, with Mr. Moore as' secretary, and Sir John Aird, of Toronto, as treas- urer. In May, 1931, a site inspection cow- niittee of Mr. Moore and two Ameri- cans, Was appointed to inspect the sites suggested for location. Four ' months later, after an inspection of all likely sites had been made, a re- port was brought in favoring the beautiful Turtle Mountains. The Turtle Mountain is one of the few heights of land in the mid -west prairies And lies on the 'boundary be- tween Dakota and Manitoba, one- third of its area being in Manitoba. It consists, not of mountains, but of a rolling hilly elevation several hun- dred feet above the surrounding prairie, with an average height of 2,200 feet above sea, level. Its extent: from east to west is about forty miles with a width of twenty-five miles. Fifty- -years ago this area was cov erect with poplar, balm, oak, birch, ash and willow. About two-thirds of it is now under cultivation and the remainder is clad with second growth timber. There are over one hundred beautiful lakes, and wild flowers and fruits are abundant. That moose and elk lived here in numbers is evident as their mouldering horns are . re- quently found and old beaver darns indicate that 'beaver once were in- habitants. Jumping deer are numer- ous and increasing in numbers. One might make a long list of birds from humming birch to eagles, which fre- quent the district and countless num- bers of waterfo .•equent the lakes. The site chosen for the Peace Gar- den is 04 miles south of Brandon. Its location on the boundary line is • (Continued on page 4) ' How about an AKFLOOR? House cleaning time is FLOORING, TIME.
