It requires also a 'Ohairman- of the Railway Oomlmission. • There is, at the moment, no chairman of the Board of .,Railway 'Commissioners, -only a vice-chairmlan, so the prod - storm of this legislation, so far as thalt feature of it is concerned, are for all intents and purpdses null and void. ,Once elan proposes and the same wean disposese and what We eontemr'- platte as a big event may be'some- thing less than• nothing at all, de- ndling on the mood behind the • man who wrote the moving word 'and rub; bed it ,out again. . Let ' uls now record a list • of ten Canadian. events. of ]934 with some comment thereon: 1. The Prioe Spreads Commission. +—This may be invportant or it may not be. If l'e'gislation follows the work' done will gain an added. eigni- 'frcanee. If a fundamental approach were made' to 'the problem by at- tempts to remove the cause, then the work of the Price ••Spreads Commit- tee might be the big event of the year so far as Canada is concerned. There is, howeeer, another possibil- iitty. 'Restricti've• legilsletioil may be enforced which will bring 'more harm than good. It will merely shift the lburden from one to another. We must, therefore, leave it in the air. It is an event, good or bad, we do mot know, only time will tell. No doubt we know how to remedy the evils exposed, •b1.ft have vile the intel- ligence to .apioly the remedy? fIt may be doubtful and in that 'doubt we leave it 'till another year. • 2. The Resignation .of Mr, S'tev- ervs.—This was something which de- veloped- out of the work of the Price Splrea'dts Committee, bait has a signifi- cance "of its own. It recognizee% the fact that M'r. 'Stevens is an impatient warrior, and i•ev'ea1s the possibility that he may now have doubts of some of the remedies he attempted in 19301 If it signifies a change of mind rather than an' up -theist of emldtio'n'alism' it may be important. Here again, only the future will tell the meaning of this happening, but it has possibilities for 1936. 3. The Ontario Election Constitut- ed an Important Event.—It revealed. 'the trend of the public mind. It was a protest in favor of economy --in, favor of the submerged man who is so iseldomu heard—the gentleman who pays the taxies. It was sufficiently sweeping to be notable. Its influ- ence upon the future no man can tell, lout it is highly probable that we are coming to more efficient; gov'ernm'ents in' the Dominion.' of Canada if effici- en'oy'•'bet measured by economy in: the use of money. This and previous • elections represent a blind. driving towards' that desirable end. 4.. We Win Again in Wheat. -1t ties been won by Canada twenty times in "twenty-four, six times by Reward Wheat, a 'Canadian bred pro- duct which has proved its worth in conrbest with the world's best, a mag- nificent international record. .5.

It rep.resentn the tense strain of economic pressure— increasing indhistriali'sm, pressure of population against artificially re- strieted means of 'earning a liveli- hood. 8. The defeat, in the 4Ui 4t ed Searles tes Senate of • the proposed agreement for the deepening b'f the St. Lawrence Canals. Wh'elther you sayit with re- gret or rejoicing win depend •upon the point of view. The chances are that •'mlost Canadians, if it were put to a popular vote, would be quite will- ing to wait until •so'mte other prob- lems are settled before going on with this task. 9. The Marketing Act Moves into Operation. --Here again there 'w'ill be differences' of opinion. Of one thing we may rest assured. It will tend to increase the rigidity. of our economic strucltitme. 'Increas+ing rigidity, here as elsewhere can have but one effect. I.t. will tend to prolong depressions when they come. So here :ii, one piv- otal thing which we may watch as it revolves throughout the year, per- haps we shall •soon be wondering if, after. all, freedom is. worth fighting, for, if the whole wbrld •should not be 'controlled, cribbed, cabined and' con- fined by eommilttees over which par- liament has no jurisdiction whatever, government itself has very little to say and those who pay the price do not care. 10. The Visit of the •Stork to the House of Dionne. — That was the greatest and happiest event of the year.. There will be more written of this during the coming year than of any other items I have mentioned. It will not profoundly influ'e'nce the life of many Canadians but it was a great hunvan event, and the world, thank Heaven, is still 'moved by its heart as well as 'by its head. The re- ception to Dr: Defoe in the 'United Stapes was not merely an honor to a man who happened by chance or cir- cumstance to atband within the circle of light—it proved that a , nation which has its idol's =ay also have its Ideals. A country may dower• with power 'the cringing holders of .. its predatory wealth but it keeps ' a warm spot in its heart for those pl:isin simple souls whose work make's this old world a.iroud place and lifts still higher the standards of mankind. That is 'a ,thoughlt worth remember- irig in 1935—even if big events seem scarce and most of life but "trifles light as air"—yes, and sometilmtes lighter still. • Alfalfa Seed Production The total alfalfa seed production in Canada this year has been less than n•d:-mal, but fortunately is of suffici- ent quantity to compensate in part, though not entirely, for the unusual shortage of red clover and alsike seed. Canada's total 1934 alfalfa seed crop is estimated at about 2,000,000 pounds as compared with 2,500,000 pounds in 1933. The greater part of the seed was grown in Ontario and the balance in Manitoba, Saskatche- wan, Alberta and British Columbia, Practically all of the Ontario and prairie grown seed is of 'the hardy variegated strains adaptabe to severe winter conditions. Normal dldmeetic consumption will likely require all bhe 1934 production of alfalfa and it *is also expected that the short crop orf red clover seed will 'be sold out early at high prices. Nurse's Three Nasty Falls When Crippled With Rheumatism G., ': 1 l- 1 a . i CAN NOW DANCE AND SKIP '5' "Three months ago," writes a nurse, "I was an absolute cripple from rheumatism. In fact, it was so bad that if I got on a couch or bed to rest I could not get up again without two people to help me, and (my feet had to he lifted up for ine to ,get on• a chair. Also I had three very nasty falls when walking out alone. 'My left leg from the waist down seemed' to go dead. In the end, I had to walk with someone, and at the sanne time use a cane "I used to spend hours weeping in my room because I could not work, and at the last 1 couldn't even do My own hair. A friend visited me one day, acid said,, `Ohl nurse, do try Kruschess,' I sent for'a bottle at once, and the result is amazing. I can do things now that I couldn't do three months ago.

It is a strik- ingly handsome car, with mod- em lines and new, luxurious appointments. But most important of all it is especially designed to give you smooth, easy riding over all kinds of roads—"a front -seat ride for back-seat riders." This ease of riding is achieved by the use of three basic principles never be- fore combined in a low -price car. 1. Correct distribution of car weight by moving engine and body forward eight and a hall inches. 2. New location of seats by which the rear seat is moved forward, toward the centre of the car away from the rear axle and away from the bumps. 3. New spring suspension which per- rnits the use of longer, more flexible springs and increases the springbase to 123 inches. .cststa:Y%v'' A New Ford V•8 That Brings New Bea.uty, New Safety, and a New Kind of Riding Comfort Within Reach of Millions of People The result is Centre -Poise —which not only gives you a new riding comfort but. adds to the stability of the car and its ease of handling. You can take curves from seven to eight miles faster with perfect safety. There are many new features in the Ford V-8 for 1935 which make the car still easier to drive. New brakes give more power for stopping quicklywith far less foot pressure on the pedal. A new type of easy -pressure clutch employs centrifugal force to increase efficiency at higher speeds. New steering mechanism makes the car still easier to handle. The New Ford V, 8 for 1935 retains the V- 8 engine which has demonstrated its r„ liar:say 'v dependability and economy ha the service of over a million owners. There are refinements, but no change in basic design., You buy premum perform- ance when you buy this Ford V-8—full 90 horsepower and 85 miles as hour. We invite you to see this New Ford V-8 at the showrooms of Ford dealers. You will want to ride in it—to drive it yourself. You will find it a new experience in motoring.
