How Long Can We .K:eeP
It Up ?
Since the year 1930 the Province
of Ontario bas spent on relief mea-
sures a total of $77,800,000. .0f this
huge sum, the Province contributed
$27:800,000; he Dominion Govern-
ment $2:3,100,000, and the different
'enteicipalities $.2000,000.
If that was the end of the matter
and the account cRuld now be clos.ed,
the situation e;•en then. Would bfe
:serious enough from the taXpayer's
etancipoint.
But peosperity is not again tiood,'•
ing the country and unemployment
has' not ceased. In fact, the very op-
posite situation confronts the people
of this Province.
During the months of surnwei we
are very prone to forget the unem-
ployment problems. Any person can
neake a living in the summer. That
is any person who is really willing
to work. If a living scan not be
found in the cities, i can be obtained
in the country. "
•
Unfortunately for theehard times
the stammer, with jt e easy living con-
ditions, is almost over. Another win-
ter is upon us, and we have no con-
trol over the kind of winter it will
be.
For two years we have had open
• winters with little snow, and com-
paratively little severe cold, but in
-spite of••that fact the suffering among
:the unemployed has been intense.
,If he coming winter should turn
out to be what is called a real Can-
adian winter, the distress will be in-
tineified marry fold.
What are we going to die ebout it?
Or rather. what are the Governments
and the municipalities going to do
, about it?
During the first year of unemplo-
rnent, the Government instituted a
plan of extensive puidic works to
provide employment.
That proved a fizzle. inn -0 and Sirn-
Itie and a very exeensite ene at that.

In fact, I found, both there and in
Peace Rive, that I could use every
bit of training I .got on the farm at
home."
The more we heard off her work
the more we appreciated '.this. She
has played about every musical in-
strument from a mouth ergan to a
double bass fiddle,so with eve o a
little materiel. to work with, she
seems able to organize an orchestra
‘vherever she goes. People who
have .visited her in her log house,
tell us that you don't get letter
bread anywhere in Peace River,
than is made at the manse. And
we happen to know that on one of
her calls at a homestead she found
the farmer worried over a horse that
had suddenly gone lame. The doctor
left the animal's hot and quivering
shoulder and diagnosed the trouble as
leasphangitin
"How do you know it's that?" the
farmer asked.
•-Oue horses: at home used to take
it," she said and told hint what to
do for it. In fact she has a section
of her dispensary stocked with vet-
erinary supplies, since there is no-
where else in the dietrict where the
sette-rs can get them.
ln ntimberless ways she transfers
her experiences on an ole Ornate°
farm to the. new district of the
Peaee. We especially appreciated
what she meant when she said:
"When I find myself at the eral
of a sveek filled with sick calls and
Sunday before me with two sermons
to preach and no time to prepare
thennhow thankful I am for the
background of reading that I got at
I home in the years When there was
! time fcir it."

er than any of this was the en-
tlausiasm and harmony 'of the build-
ers, a spirit that seems to last on in
the life of the church. On the open-
ing day some Anglicans, good musi-
cians, came some distance to sing at
the services. Dr. MacKay, of New
St. James, London, was there to
peeach and to. adminster baptism

elders for there are a few things the

•Dr. Strang is also active 5"It the
community life apart from the
church. The first year she was in
the, Dixonville neighborhood . she
organized weekly 'Community Nights'
in 'the' school house with dramatics
and the usual literary society pro-
gramme, and an orchestra. She has
her 'cello with her, so if there is no
piano at a meeting place she has an
instrument that can be fairly easily
teansported. She has started five cir-
culating libraries in the district,
'leaving the books at some. settler's
home where the family will.
And she does/not hesitate to ..sperak
her mind on anything that seems. to
interfere with the community wel-
fare. Alt one centre in the district

Produce Improvement Seen
As Result of Legislation
As a result of the recent enabling
legislation passed by the Ontario
Government to the Federal Fruit Act,
there is a decided improvement in
the quality of produce appearing on
the Toronto market. Heretofore, Fed-
eral regulations were not applicable
to the movement of produce within
the Province'. However the recent en-
abling legislation requires that all
produce, ,bearing a grade mark, muSt
comply with the requirements of the
Act. This, undoubtedly, will have a
s'timulating effect on the consump-
tion of ear domestic produce, espec-
ially when the consumer -realizes the
advantages uf purchasing graded
fruit and vegetables exclusively.
