'William Abez'blart may become the
next !Premier of Alberta, but it will
not be with the approval of his
smother, Mrs. Louise Aberhart, of
'Seafoa'th, says .'Milton Dunnell, writ-
ing` in the 'Stratford 'Beacon-Hea'ald.
'Mrs. Alb•erisant, who will celebrate
her eigi ty-fl1th birthday next De-
cember, is no!b a bit t=hrilled by the
meteoric rilse of her son intim the politi-
cal world.
In the first place, he continues, she
is not interested in politics. In. the
second •place, she thinks that her son
had enough to do without getting
himself naarred prime minister of a
province.
"I don't know why he went and
got into polities," she confided, in an
interview yesterday afternoon, while
the whole Dominion was talking
albout the semsatiianal victory ' of her
.son's ,Social Credit League in the -Al-
. Berta general election's.
"bTio., 'I certainly, do not approve of
it," she declared; although ethere Was
o suspicion of pride in her tone. \`'
"Of course, if he wants to be Prime
'Minister, I wouldn't try to put .any-
thing ill his way. He's old enough
now to know what he wants."
'`tiDid I sit up last night to hear
the returns over the radio? I should,
say not. If you were running, wbuld
you expect the whole country to sit
up all night over it? I went to bed.
And I slept, too."
"No, I never voted in my life, and
3'!1'1 be eigh'ty-+five in December. They
came to get me to vote Once, but I
hold them they could just keep right
mn going. of the men don't know
how to run the country, I don't see
how they can expect the women to
AM it." .
:Mrs. Aberhart dices not know whe-
ther or not • she eippeeted• her son's
party-to-'w'in; in Alberta, because' she
aiidn't understand the whole business,
and she hadn't seen her son to•have
him explain it to her. Despite her
years, Mrs. Aberhart is in good
:health. She has a fine sense of hum-
ror, and laughed gaily at th'e sugges-
tion that she might go out, to Alberta
-to counsel her sans in. the event of
this accepting the premiership.
There's one subject, in additionto
,allures, on which she has decided
opinion. She refused point blank to
pose for a photograph.
'"Nothing doing," ''she declared.
11''E'm1 .ileo old far that foolishness.
Anyway. 'I had a picture taken about
five years ago, and it was so bad
that 'I said 'never again.'"
"But I'll get fired if I go back to
Stratford without a picture of °you,"
-?he was infortned.
"Oh, 'I glees you'll get something
seise to do;" she consoled. • n.
Her decision on the photograph
questionwas final, despite the fact
that a photographer was on hand, all
set to snap her pucture, without her
having to move out of her rocking
chair.

While the Social Credit leader has
been •referred tis, since. his 'rise to
political fame, as a Huron boy, he
really is a native of Perth County.
He was born, in Hibbert Township, a
san of William Aberhart and' Louise
Pepper. His father is deceased.
There were six boys and two girls in
the family. William was the fourth
oldest of the family. Two member's
of the family are deceased. Those
living, in addition to William, are
Charles and Louis of Seaforth, John
cif Wood's•toek, Wilfred of Detroit, and
Mrs. G. McIsaao, of Detroit,
Mho fiest school attended 'by the
S;oicial Credit leader was No. 7 school
in Hibbert Township. While he was
still in the loiwer grades, the family
moved and he finished his public
school education in Egmondkrille. He
attended Seaforth Collegiate, and then
qualified as a teacher. His first job
was •near Wing+ham. From there he
went to the staff of the Brantfoavi
public schools.
Wanted To Be Minister
..All this time, he had been study-
ing constantly in the hope of enter-
ing the ministry—an ambition that
never was realized, because'- of the
fact that he could root be accepted
without ,attending university. In
Brantford he organized a Bible Class
and when he went West to Calgary
to join the public s'ch'ool staff there,
he continued this Bible teachings with
such success that a $65,0.00 auditor-
ium was erected through th'e contri-
butions of his radio audiences._
He has +been likened to Father
Coughlin, of Detroit, and when his
enemies attempted to put him off the
ails
thousands of, letters poured into
the radia stations from his listen-
ers.
By summer courses and post -grad-
u'a'te study, he qualified himself .to
teach in a 'Collegiate, Institute, and
at the present time, ,is principal of
Calgary Collegiate Institute. When
he applied for leave -of absence for
the duration of his camlpaign, the re-
quest was refused. Undaunted, he
carried on anyway, although he did
not contest a 'constituency himself,
He was married while he was
teaching in Brantford, and has two
daughters, bdth of whom are mar-
ried and living h Vancouver.
Her 'eon, Charles Aberhart, with
whom she makes her home, was eq-
ually emphatic in his refusal. He
'wouldn't even stand out in front of
his drug store while a picture was
being taken.
'•'Some of the other boys wwan'ted
pictures too, and I told them the
same' thing, he advised.
He was perfectly willing to discuss
Isis brother's success in the West, of
which he was justly proud, but no
pictures. He accepted the carLgratu-
1ations of customers coming into the
store.
`aI

in Alberta very closely, except
through what I've read in the press,"
the explained. "1 used to get copies
•'rof some of his lectu'ree sent to me,
but I don't •unders+tand the Social
Credit policies and, of course, I
haven't been talking to my brother
lately."

"I'm not prepared to say whether
1 think he 'can db the''`bhings he has•

1 have confidence in him, and I will
nay this: iIf he says these things

they can be done. 'H iiss no wildcat.
And he's done great thins. before."
Another brother, Louis, was enthus-
iastic over Brother Bill's sweeping
victory in Alberta, although he re-
fused to- let the occasion interfere
with the daily routine of 'operating a
thoploing aniiaai With an implement
shop in conjunction.
"I was sure that he would win,"
Louis Aberhart enthused. •
"And this it only the beginning.
He will show the way to the rest of
the Dominion, end you will see the
United States swing that way, too,"
he predicted.
' "I've nev=er heard him mention
gaoli'tics.
When. he was here five or
six years 'worm sure that he had
no thought orf getting into politics.
He has worked out his theories, and
he believes that he has something
that will help the country. That's
why he's come out the way he has.
There's one thing certain, he wouldn't
do it for personal gain."
In Mr. A+berhart's former bade

pride now, w+h•ere a few days. ago
they regarded his policies with scorn.

Early - Topping • of Turnips
The practise of "topping" turnips
some weeks before the date of pull-
ing, in order to use- the leaves while
;,till green in the feeding ^of livestock,
has been common in certain parts of
the Dominion, and the question whe-
ther it is an economical operation or.
hot has been settled by practical
demonstrations. The data obtained
sh=owed that turnips from the non -
topped crops had he higher. food
value. The inquiry alas'o furnished
satisfactory evidence of the marked
growth of 'the unto'pped crop during
the latter weeks of the season, the
leaves during this period continuing
to function its lungs and stomach, re-
sulting in a heavier yield. The prac-
tice of topping the crop three weeks
or a month prior to the date of pull-
ing has shown to result in a lower
yield per acre of nutrients, and is
therefore non -economic. •

morning and she also displayed oon-
si'derable courage when after her
car turned compl'ebely over on the

Miss Smith was touring to town
from Grand Bend where the family
are on holidays. About two miles
west of Exeter the car struck some
loose gravel and the driver last con-
trol. The car turned completely ov-
er on the road landing on its four
wheels. Fortunately Mists Smith es-
caped with a,slight cut. The fend-

Parachute Jumper Hurt
Making the first parachute jump
of his career at Grand Bend on Gala
Day, Wednesday last, Bob Byers, of
London, suffered injuries to his
back in landing. He was taken to
London by airplane and removed to
the hospital. Byers leaped from
the plane at 2,000 feet and as he
pulled open the chute the wind
caught one of the ropes and held in
over the bag. Although the chute
functioned sufficiently to let Byers
land squarely, he came down with
about fifty per 'cent. great .force
than had the parachete been opened
properly. ` He landed on his feet
and then bumped to his back. He
had tub ribs broken and suffered
strain to muscles and torn ligaments.
No serious effects are expected.-

Big Day At Grand Bend
(Conelented from "C,ath,eriete, the
grrlta+a:it of..an Emipresis," in gender's
igesit).
''Catherine the Great, )alnTpresa. of
.Russia, never lost the capacity to fall
in love. Bat even those later, bizarre
amours which scandalized Europe
were really nothing but variations on
the theme of 'her indestructible at-
tachment to one man; Gregory Pot-
emkin. Something mare than physi-
cal passion gave diistinetion to this
affair, a devotion unique in history.
The love of these two, whose com-
mon bon:d was ambition, realized it-
self in a dream of, w'or'ld rule.
'Outwardly the two had little in
common: the empress, personifica-
tion of order and punctuality, who
never drank ''a drop, who rose at
dawn and .in her 15 -hour day_ accom-
plished more work than 10 men—and
Potemkin, who spent his , days .in
l'oun'ging, his nights in drinking,
whose gluttony was a_ byword and
who rounded off the wildest debauch-
es with prayers of repentance. Yet
Potemkin worshipped her; he over-
whelmed her with tenderness; he was
past master at choosing presents va-
lued solely for their superb frivolity.
With him she became a real woman
letting herself be spoilt by amen.
At first Catherine esteemed him as
"the most comical and amusing char-
acter of the century," for this wo-
man who had known so muoh horror
yearned for gaiety and laughter. But
presently she came to appreciate his
real qualities . ' .
.
"Ah, what a .geodhead the man
has!" . . .. Potemkin became as-
sistant minister for war and, almost
overnight, war minister. Then sud-
denly, with no obvious cooling off in
their passion, he left for the south,
renouncing !Catherine's body, but
keeping her soul; he eves, appointed
his successor tp that intimate pbsi-
tion he had relinquished. For fifteen
years more her lovers were selected
with his' consent, .ar 'at: his -command.
Potemkin was ready to lay at her
feet anything --fortresses or flowers,
provinces or paramours. (These fav-
orites, incidentally., were expensive,
They exist the country albout 14,000,-
¢00 rubles. What Potemkin himself
•reeei+v'eid from Catilisfiness treasury
must have run to nearly 50,000,000
rubles.) While merely Catherine's
lover, Potemkin led a life of ind•ol-
erce, but the moonent he left her ems
i,r'ace, his life 'became ruled by that
"t:•emendous plan worthy of a Ca"esar"
already shaped in Catherine's mind:
the ruling of the 'Black Sea and all
southeastern Europe. In 1783 she
quietly annexed the Crimea, and Pot-
emkin's business, as governor of the
province, was grow to turn this desert
waste into a civilized country.
The task appealed 'to him. He 'em-
barked on a hundred projects: the
building of the naval har=bor at Sev-
astopol, vast fleets of merchant ves-
sels and warships; importation of
silkworms from China, planting of
forests and vineyards; new factories
and roads;.•he made plans for a mag-
nificent new metropolis on the river
Dnieper, to be named Ekaterinoslav
—"Catherine's Glory." He made
journeys north .to inform Catherine
of these new wonders. And she be-
lieved him. She believed, too, in the
ether miracles he reported: fields of
waving corn, villages of contented,
prosperous peasants—s" he really be-
lieved that ,in three years Potemkin
had created the happiest, most fruit-
ful province of her empire out of bar-
ren
rtePPe-
land. She must visit the
raw provinces, see -for herself these
miracles. Though now 58, her en-
thusiasm had never been mare abun-
dant:
Potemkin had not made a garden
out of the 'desert, wealth where had
been squalor, but he was able to cre-
ate the illusion of all this for Cath-
erine's delight. The villages, the
factories existed only. on paper; the
steppes were still as desolate, the
- Gala ,day at Grand Bend last Wed-
nesday turned out to be one of the
bi'gge'st days of the season at this
popular summer resort: Thousands.
of People gathered and were well en-
tertained by a program that was con-
inuous throughout' the afternoon and
evening. The 'town was gay with flags
and bunting and the Exet=er Band
provi�.ded music. The program o'pen,-
ed shortly before noon with a splen-
did parade of decorated floats, auto-
mobiles, etc. A 'donkey'baselball game
at 2 pan prrovidelh lots of fun and
amu,s'ement. The sea flea raees were
fast with five contestants. Stunt fly-
ing entertained the; a'+isitons, fo'llow'ed
by boxing in barrels, a pillow' fight
'and
,{ra'c'es for the children. A girls'
sofltbaill game was held between flub
London teams. At • dusk the band
provided music at the lake. Some-
one had a peculiar sense of humor
when they bowed a raft of driftwood
out 'into the lake at dark and set it
afire. Thinking that ,lives were in
danger boats at top speed were rush-
ed to the rescue, only to find it a
hoax.—Zurich Herald.
Goderich Boy Has Fine " Record
Frank Vines, 14 -year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. F. Vines, 'Picton St.,
has ' become one of Canada's young
lelebrities since going to London some
weeks ago to study aviation.. On Sat-
urday, Frankie made his first solo
flight and this is believed to be a
record in - Canadian flying. Since he
is• -only 14, Frank, will have to wait
three more years to get his pilot's
license, the regulations demanding
that he be 17 before a liceris,e can be
granted. Flying a Moth biplane of
the London Flying Club, Frankie
made a good take -off, according to
London authorities, and set the plane
down very easily when he returned
to the field. The flight consisted of
circling the field a .couple of times
and then landings -while his instrue-
tor, Captain...To y Williams, viewed
the handling of the plane from the
ground: 'Phe flight an Saturday is
the realization of Frartkie's fondest
dream,•the hope that he might some
day fly a plane having been almost a
lifetime amlbit-bon. with him. Frank
is a popular young lad among his
friends here and has also achieved
enviable record's as a natator, having
won trophies for swimming and div-

Potemkin's severest critics grew sil-
ent before these never-ending won-
ders, and Ca'tharine's rapture knew
no bounds.
She did not know that this fairy-
land vanished the moment her boat
had passed, that the houses behind
the triumphal arches were without.
roofs, doors or windows, that behind
the houses were no streets, that the
villages were deserted, that the cat-
tle had' been brought long distances

dancers were wretched' serfs, taught,
with pains and beatings, to perform
their carefree capers.. After sunset,
they were packed into carts like a
travelling theatrical company and
hurried tohe
t next stand, <i, again to
provide a spectacle of holiday merry-
making.
At each of three anchorages there
was a magnificent new palace with
artificial waterfalls and a shady park.
Potemkin could work miracles! He
turned primeval jungle into formal
English garden—by transplanting
trees t} a't flourished for a few days
and then slowly withered. Again,
houses for Catherine's guests had
been erected—jerry-built, but furnish-
ed with, every conceivable luxury.
And everywhere were soldiers, fine,
upstanding specimens, magnificently
uniformed, At Ekaterinoslav . the

net guess that these 'same towns
were dead and derelict, that Potem-
kin had, snatched no less than twenty
crmmunitiei bodily from their homes
to populate temporarily his provinc-
es. Every .kind of entertainment was
provided. At one stop an artificial
volcano spurted flange :into the air all
night; at Sevastopol a band of. 180
musicians played at the , reception
dinner. Before the windows Cather-
ine's gaze travelled over massed' reg-
iments', down to the bay, where lay
the new Black Sea fleet, built in two
years. A roar ,of cannon broke from
the decks, with shouts of "Long live

mock com'b'at representing. the -fam-
ous victory which Peter the Great
had won on the' same ground.
It was effective stagecraft, and
Catherine's happiness for the mom-

to 'Potem'kin. But had she discover-

it might have damped her enthusi-

Khers+on was 'buil of sand, and, far
from withstanding Bannon shot, was
to .be severely damaged by the first
thundersltoiin!'- Then she might have
regarded this Crimean journey in a
sober and pessimistic light. It had
cost. 7,000,000 rubles and an enorm-
ous expenditure of human energy,
and it had achieved—nothing save
the further aggrandizement of Pot-
emkin in Catherine's eyes. That, at
any rate, had been successful.
The Crimean journey and the ela=b-
orate invention a±' a happy, prosper-
ous country were no more than a
highly original, expensive !tribute
paid by 'tweed the greatest lovers of
history to his mistress.
