EAFORTH, Friday, March 20, 1936
Ip§..Ser ones,. all Make a sad'
MS's. of -even cement highways 'When
the frost is coming out of the groin
and tie foundations are soft and
spongy. At Such times, even half
loads on such trucks do nat add any-.
Ming to -the permanency of our lug
ways.
And, if it is necessary to take such
Precalltions for the .preservation of
the King's cement highways, what
about our county and township roads
which are not surfaced with cement?
On suck roads, even a motor car
can turn them upside down within
space of a few days, and a ditch-
ing machine couldcnot make a more
finished job of trefieh, work than a
heavy truck, with or without a load,
has been known to do.
It would be_a, wise policy for tpwn-
ship fathers to follow the example of
the Minister of Highways.' They
might even go a little further... Be-
sides limiting the loads they might,
with profit, close some stretches, .ev-
en concessions, to all motor vehicles
where conditions would warrant such
action.
Detours are taken as a matter of
course in the summer time when
road ,construction is under way. Why
not, detours in the spring, when de-
struction inevitably follows the trait
of the car and truck?
Policing might cost the townships
a little' money; but 'nothing compar-
- ed to the cost of the rebuilding work
• after cars and trucks have worked
their will on soft gravel roads.
We, in this district, are fortunate
in possessing unlimited supplies of
•- stone and gravel for our roads, but
spreading gravel and crushing stone
costs money,, and after they are
spread on the roads, unless some
supervision is kept over motor trans -
ort at this time of year, it is just
coney thrown away.
It is possible the depth of snow this
winter may have kept the frost from
penetrating to any great depth, but
there is always frost and when it is
erring out of the ground is the time
to give some attention to the roads.

On Reforestration
Premier _Hepburn's Budget
The Budget Speech delivered in
the Ontario Legislature at Torantb'
on Thursday of 144, week by Premier
• Hepburn, was a comprehensive and
• frank disclosure of the financial -
standing of Ontario after his first
• fiscal year as head of the GoVern-
. went.
The informatiOn therein contain -
Rd was not all pleasant reading to
the taxpayers of the Province, but at
the, Same time it showed an improve7
ment over the previous year and
many before it, and a firm determin-
ation to show a helping hand to the
overburdened taxpayers.
The ordinary revenue of the Pro-
• vine for the past twelve months Was
shown to be -in round figures $79,-
000,000, while the ordinary epndi-
tures, including unemployment re-
lief, were $92,000,000, leaving- a deficit
on the year's business a $13,000,000.
Considering the population of On-
• tario, that is a sizable deficit and one
-that has only two redeeming features
about it, and these were the facts
that over twenty millions of 'dollars
of the total expenditure consisted of
money spent in relief, and that the
deficit is zee a million dollars less
than the year before.
• Not a great deal to cheer about,
• perhaps, but an improvement is al-
• ways an improvement, and as such
shows progress in a field where
steady and additional piling up of
the provincial debt has been the rule
• for many yers, even before the de-
. pression.
That initselfis an encouragement
and future encouragement is prom-
ised by the fact of the Premier's as-
sertion of a balanced budget for the
fiscal year ending in March, 1937.
In. fact, Mt. Hepburn not only
promised a balanced budget for the
• coining year but a surplus, and a re-
• duction in the public debt. The sur-
plus, the Premier estimated for th:!
coming year, was over 1-1,1f a million
• dollars, and the debt reduction at
close to ten millions of dollars.
In reference to thse. two thines
the Premier said:- "I promise the
people of Ontario 'a real F.urplus. I
pledge my word as Leader of the Lib-
eral party in the Province of 'On-
tario, that the programme I now lay
before the House will be carried o-ue
to the letter."
The Budget Speech was a notable
deliverancevand in it -Premier Hem
burn dee/4y showed his intention of
bringing an end the practise of
piling up debts. -For years the Pro-
vince has been spending far in ex-
cess of its inome, and calmly bor-
rowing to make up the shortage,
which accounts for the burden of
debt under which 'we labdr to -day.
Mr. Hepburn's assnrano of a
new day is timely, and what is still
mdre to the point, is the fact that the
people of Ontario confidently believe
that he. will' jhake good that assur-
ance.
•
Spring Roads
Spring must be just afound the
corner. At any rate, that must be
the belief of Hon. Mr. McQuesten,
Minister of Highways for the Prov-
ince, who has issued the annual reg-
ulaton, effective last Monday morn -
ng, that all motor trucks and trans-
ports 'operating on certain sections
of the Xing's -Highways in Ontario,
mtist carry on1y. half loads.
And a very -necessary regulation
it is. Of colirse, we look upon our
ceftent' highways a s permanent
things, and, to a IiMited extent, and •
fda very limited time, perhaps they
"ght be ealled jugt•that.

Mr. W. AT, Dickson, Member for
Perth4, in the Ontario Legislaturg•
made a notable and constructivecon-
tribution to the debate in the House
a few days ago, when he spoke in
favor of a reforestration programme
for Ontario, both from the stand-
point of the great need for such
work, as well as from the stand-
point of unemployment relief.
Mr. Dickson is a new member in
the Legislature, but it is quite ap-
parent that he is a man of thought
and ability. At any rate, he does not
proposeto belong to the great silent
majority of the House.
Apparently he believes he owes a
duty to his constituents and to the
people of the Provinee at large. That
his first duty as a legislator is not to

Peace Hopes Are Not Bright
There has been little in the Euro-
pean situation over the week -end to
merit the belief that peace, stead
• of war, will result from the -meetings
Jig the League of Nations being held
in London this wek.
In fact, the outlook is definitely
darer. Germany has consented to
ineetihe . other powers in League
. , discussions, but only on the -under-
standing that her representatives
haVe equal rights of 'discussion; and
that the question of the occuplation
of/the Rhineland is not to be separ-
ated from the peace proposals Made
by Hitler. .
To those proposals France is said
to be opposed and prepared to, fight
to the bitter end against theft; hold-
ing that it would be better for her
interests to wreck the League of Na-
tions, rather thanbargain away her
Tights.
Britain's attitude is one of disp-
poitment. She has almost despaired
of bringing ,France and Germany to-
gethr under any terms that eduld eir
would be discussed by ithe- con-
tening nation, and if they do meet:
only to disagree the situation, If pos
sibl, would be worse thitbfore.

S. S. LESSON FOR MARCH 22, 1936
Lesson . Topic—Jesus Teaches True
Lesson
Passage—Luke
assage—Luke 12:22,24.
Golden Text—Matthew 6:33.
Perhaps Jesus. -is speaking- here
chiefly for the benefit of . the ,strug;
gling poor, having just spoken the
parable (of the rich idol for the bene-
fit !of the • rich. The poor may find it
hard to keep -body and 'eoul together,
to keep the wolf., from the dome so
they are tempted to think that melee
would make the,m happier, and fur-
ther more Would Make them happier
Still—and thus the covetous spirit is
begattert. • But that, says Jesus, is
not the way eut lof the difficulty.
The whole passageconsists, of an
ethertation and .six arguments stip-
porting it. The exhortation is: Don't
distress yonrself atbout food and cloth-
ing; and these- two, we are to sup-
ose, 'stand as representative ev-
eeythling in the ibeinporalitieis of lif.
The first argument is that anxious
thought is unreasonible. It seems
to forget ho vi much Gad has given
already. He has given life—a stu-
•
peedouls gift. Siteely for God, who
mmalt6erthteo body,
caitnwbiethnofo'ogreatneed
elothing!
• The second arrgurnent is that it is
againet the teaching Of nature. Ten -
eider the ravens.' ,Probably at the
moment -a couple of them passed...in
sight .of Christ's audienee:- The fay -
en was one (of the commonest and
greediest • fowls in the East, 'never
found satisfied with foed or desti-
tute of et. , Look and learn, says
In e third ,place, Christ argues
that the anxiety is quite unavailing:
Anxiety does no &ed. It cane no
more bring help than it can add a
cubit to the statrume. And so he .asks,
`If ye then be not able to dothat
thingwhioh is left, why take ye
thought foe the rest?'
In the fourth plane, Jena.% argues
that if aritcious care avails not,it is!
Vibe Uniteeessetwthaft it should try.
The !question m ihe reNiGUS twe
verses was: What can Yalu' anxiety
det for You? • The !answer iLs, It can
do nolthing. Here the question is.:
What can God do for you, without
any undue anxiety On your part? The
answer/ i, Fiverything.

The ,ggantie fortune which he made
may be regarded, in genie degree, as
the, fulfilment of the (principle that,
if a Man seeks •firist the rightecoesnees
of God all these things will be yadded
to him (Verse 31).
The will of -a certain Christian
capitalist in Paris in the last years
of the pest eentury revealt the same
testimony to the truth contained in
Clheist's Way of life. "I believe in
the God who has written in our
hearts the law (off duty, the law of
progeese, the law .of ;sacrifice of one,,
sellefer renters. I arn the humble
disciple. of Him rwho has. taught us
to .do unto others as we.Would-they
should do unto • us, and to love our
neighbors as ourselves. In this 'sense
it is that I dlesire to continue unto
my last fbeeath"(Coridensed from
The 'Speaker's tBibie). •
