Had Never Seen Rain • The Ottawa Journal says that •out in Sa,skatchewan they are telling of a :child of three years of age, who 'had never seen rain until the'other day. .1When the downpour opened, she told, her father someone was throwing water on her. !When one lootks about this part of Ontario, that is a pretty hard state- ment te believe. But, nevertheless, it is undoubtedly true. There are parts o southern Sas- katehewein Where there has been no rainfall for over three years, and yet the settlers in those districts have held on, undergoing' privations that would halve daunted our Ontario pioneer% who surely knew what privation meant. PeoPle in Western Ontario can not conceive of what rain means to the people of those drouth stricken ar- eas. It means not only a land .re stored to fertility, but a wonderful dream come true. Almost life itself. 'We, in Ontario, are apt to grumble if the rain does not fall at the right hour, on the right day of the weak. We gruireble at a little dust. Take a long look at the country in your district to -day and then con- ceive, if you can, what the view :would be like if there had been no rain for three 'year, or even three months. " •-• • IHave we much to complain of? Have we even hard, times? BRUMFIELD !Interesting services were held last Sunday in the ,United (Church. The morning, service was conducted by !Beet Mr. .Rinnoek, of Toronto, Who had spent 35 years as a missionary in Africa,. (He told of the great work that the Bible Society was doing.. Over 10 million copies of the Bible were printed last year. The Bible is a book that never grows old. Rev. Dr. 'Martin, >f 'St. Thomas, who preached the annual ievening sermon to the Oddfellows, was lis- tened to, with rapt attention by a large congregation, his subject be- ing, "The Giving of Alms." He saki the easiest thing we have to give is our money; God wants ourselves. The 'Sacrament of the Lord's Sup- per is to be observed next Sunday morning, June llith. Preparatory service will be hgd Friday evening at 8 p.m. Master Allen Hill, who underwent an operation for appendicitis a few weeks ago in Saforth 'Memorial Hos- pital and then contracted typhoid fever, is able to be removed to his home in the village this week..

Mr. and Mrs. Peterson and tarn- ily and Mr. and Mrs. Wim. 'Dutot, of Comber, spent the week end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cal - will. Mr. and Mrs. Monteith and fam- ily, of London, spent the week ens at the owe of the lady's mother, Mrs. .Janet Ross. 'Mrs. A. Murdock and daughter, of Detroit, are visiting at the home of Mr. Robert Murdock this week. It Cost EnOugh Now Hon, J. D. Monteith, Minister of PliblieWerks and 'Labor, has made the announcement that the Ontario , Government has under censideration.- the advisability ofchanging the pres- ent system of unemployment relief. Instead ef direct relief, as at pres- ent, the Government in contemplating • a programme embracing ,eimployinent of men on P'ublic construction works at nominal wages. Most taxpayerswill agree that un- erripleyment relief 'is costing enough' tow, without changing the order of giving. Anyplan of public coastruction Work wOuld necessarily have to be on a very largs scale, if the building operations were to absorb all the un- employed. If the Ontario Government has any such' plan in mind, it is clearly evi- dent that the powers that he in To- ronto, do not know what the word depression means, nor have they, personally. been affected , by hard times. It is a very different story with the tax -payers who sepply the money with whi•Ji the Gov.:eminent has been spending sr) lavishly during the past few years in order to make good fellows of thee:selves. This Pre% lnce had a sample of what relief C;,;t1-tructon cost two years ago, in the form rr the trans- roe-tine:Pal highe•ay, whish was sup- posed to he a relief measure.. It was a relief measure all eight. Jt breught'great relief and solid corn- - free to an army of Government eon- tractose ani inside friends ef the Government. but it scarcely touched ! the fringe of the unemployed, and even to them the benefits were nil. It is a well known fact that out of every ten dollars the people pet up to give unemployed men work on this high -way, the contractors and others got nine dollars and fifty cents, and the unemployed men the remaining half dollar. The people of the coun,try, as. a whole, are 'not callous minded to- wards the unemployed and those in distress. That is a fact that" has been demon'strated over and over again during the past two years. At the same time, the average man has had to sacrifice himself; to a greater or lesser extent, to carry on uneenployment relief. To him fifty cents is fifty cents. He cap not af- ford, nor does he again intend to put up ten dollars, even if he has it, to play Santa Claus to those who are much better able to aid the cause of unemployment than he. Mr. Average Citizen is pretty n'ueh under the impression, too, that what the country is now suffering from is !too traueli 'Oolverimient conatruiction work, not too little. - That if the Government had not theens keen to play Santa Claus 'er'ith other people's money •in the /Met few years, the burden of taxa - titin will' not be what it is to -d, ner Would the unernipleyment situa- ' n either. the'Aneindoyirnient situation Is :444010Y erieingh noer. .An antlAtions Attie* ett ink& imilding Will not the eitnation ali.Y. - • TUCKERSMITH 'Mrs. N..MeCully, of Seaforth, was the guest of Mr. R.
