Canadian Cattle ShippedAbroad
Great Britain has been looked up-
on for so many years as the breed-
.
ng ground for the best type of cat-
tle of every kind, and Canada has
imported so many thousands from,
the old land that we were a little`
surprised the other day to learn
through a press despatch that old
country buyers were now looking to
Canada to supply them with pure
bred strains.
We read that when the S. S. Dore-
lain left Montreal for Liverpool on
November 4th, she carried two hun-
dred head of Canadian Holstein
Freisian cattle, the largest single
shipment ever exported under Ione
ownership from Canada to Great
Britain.
This shipment of dairy cattle was
owned by Baron Von Trutzschler, a
prominent dairy farmer of Chester,
England, who lost his entire herd of
240 head last summer through a foot
and mouth disease, and who was so
impressed with the few Canadian
cattle he had in, his former herd,
that he decided to purchase his en-
tire new herd in Canada.
For this purpose he came to Can-
ada in . person = and spent six weeks
making his selections from farms in
Eastern and Western Canada, and
he is said to have been particiilarly
pleased with these Canadian cattle.
Personally, if we had enough
money to purchase two hundred
head of cattle, we wouldn't put it in-
to Holsteins. Not for looks or any-
thing else. But then it was the Bar-
on's own money and he has a right
to spend it on any breed that pleas-
es him. And Canadians will certain-
ly wish him success.

Safety In Travel
In recent years the automobile
has come to be looked upon as the
most popular means of travel. At
least if one watches the highways
much, one would gain that impres-
sion.
But if one follows the newspapers
every- day and particularly on Mon-
day morning, one could scarcely
boast of the automobile as being the
safest mode of travel. In fact auto-
mobile accidents and fatalities have
became so frequent and numerous as
to cause grave concern to govern-
ments, even if they are accepted
with indifference and taken as a
matter of course by the people at
large.
On the other hand, travel by train
is not as .old fashioned as we have
come to look upon it. It is true that
railway passenger travel is not as
popular as it once was. That fact is
largely due to the actions of the rail-
ways themselves. They thought they
had a monopoly of travel facilities
and treated the people accordingly.
' The •people could take their trains or
leave them. And the people left
thein, or, at least, a large number of
them did.
But,`the railways have seen a new
light. cheaper rates, excursions and
'Tetter and faster train service are
luring the .people tack to that mode
of transportation again. .And it is
timing back fait.
And there is something else about
allay' travel that has a consider-
able bearing on its refound popular

We . Wonder Why ?
Viewed from this distance we have
often wondered why the people of
the Province of Alberta have so
long and so tamely submitted to liv-
ing their lives under their present
form of government.
And, after reading such pamph-
lets as "The Bankers' Toadies," a re-
cent publication issued as Social
Credit propaganda by one of its
chief; Legislative members, we are
still wondering, and wondering hard-
er than ever.
It is true that that pamphlet has
got its author and publisher into
rather hot water—three months at
hard labor—but the wonder is that
the mentality necessary to compose
such an article should be 'considered
as a suitable or desirable qualifica-
tion for a member of the Provincial
Legislature.
Nor is it, apparently, an outstand-
ing exarliple.. The, whole trend of
the Social Credit Government legis-
lation is on a par with it. And yet,
it is said, how truly we are unable
to say, that the Social Credit Gov-
ernment
overnment would go back into power
again if there was an election to-
morrow.
Of course the promise of the free
gift of twenty-five dollars a month
to every resident of Alberta, was the
greatest election promise ever made.
We have even heard it called the
greatest piece of election corruption
ever perpetrated.
But even at that, one would think
that the citizens of that Province
would see by now the impossibility
of fulfilling such a promise. Appar-
ently not, however. At least it is
said that the people in 'the rural sec-
tions, as a whole, have not yet seen
through it. Or, perhaps, refuse to
see through it.
For that condition of affairs there
are said to be many explanations.
Many of the people are of foreign
birth. Many others are from across
the line who have moved into the
Province because the government of
their native States did not possess
the right tinge of color, or not as
pronounced a tinge as they desired.
There are other reasons advanced,'
but perhaps the most readily under-
standable one to the people of the
east is that for quite some time be-
fore the Social Credit, Government
secured its 'foothold, the rural dis-
tricts had been suffering severe crop
reverses.
Many of them had lost their all.
These had nothing to lose everything
to gain. They would try anything
once. And they did. Alberta, too, it
should be remembered, is a large
Province. Distances are great and
the population small.
With the coming of hard times, a
large proportion of the farming
population could no longer afford to
travel. 'Could no longer afford a
newspaper; even their home week-
lies. They were dependent entirely
upon the air for provincial news and
world events.
_ Perhaps, unfortunately for them
at this time, the present Premier
had a tremendous following on the
air, through his weekly sermons
which were broadcast from his own
station. These people believed in his
teaching and his preaching. They
believed in the Premier himself.
When, therefore, the Premier
started mixing politics with religion,
to the ahnost exclusion of religion,
it is little to be wondered at that the
pedple adopted his politics as their
religion. At least it would appear to
be that way.
The poet may have been right
when he said that East was . East,
and West was West, and never the'
twain would meet. Certainly the
Provinces in the East, of which On-
tario is one, will never see eye to eye
or accept the beliefs of that part of
the West, which is Alberta. But we..
can still tlronder at them. And We
de. And among the thirsts we won-
der about- is why the Premier does
net apply the gag to some of his en-
thusastie supporters in the Legisla-
ture before he attempts to apply the
gag to the whole press of his Pro'rr
tie.

"VISITORS"
I had visitors the other dlay, and.
that is what got me to thinking of
how visitorswill crake you notice the
shabbiness • of a place. You go on
seeing the same things day atter day,
and you ne9er seem to 'notice that
there.- is anything wrong. That's ex-
actly what happened after I had my
visitors.
They drove in the laneway, two
prosperous looking fellows ie a big
car about a half ooncesMow. long.
Now, I've been going to put a load
6f gravel oa• that front 'laneway up
past the house for ever so long, but
for some reason or other I always
nrgtected to do it. Of course, .t
means that "we have to put the car
away about a month sooner and take
it out a month later in the Spring.
This fine, shiny car splashed,. into
the hole . . . the gears growled
astound for a while . . . and then
with a sudden lurch it came up to
dry ground. The big fellows w.eren't
in very good humor and they looked
in a very sad way at . the car.
Now, I just couldn't figure out what
they wanted'. They were spreading
big smiles across fat faces and both
handed me cigars, and they asked if
they could look around the place. I
figured there would be no harm in
that, unless they wanted to seize my
cl attels or something.
It started with the gate in the lane -
way. I lifted it up and the consented
gate went sag in the middle. I eased
it down and then tried' to support it;
but it buckled and I went down on
top of it. I could see the big fellows
trying to conceal their amusement,
the more they. did . . . the madder
it made me.
Firet of all we went into the driv-
ing shed. Just as soon as I opened
the door, old Biddy flew out of the
side window of the car. Both the
visitors took a peek inside the car,
and lying on the back seat was, a fine,
big white egg. They chuckled, • and
I made a hasty grab for the egg and
somehow or other I grabbed it too
firmly because it went smash in my
hand. I reached up, to wipe off the
egg on what I thought was an old
bag, and an avalanche of goose
feathers came tumbling down on me
(rent a. -hole in, the bag.
We shed on to the barn! For
Some time the top 01 the hoiee stable
door has been threatening to fall in.
Sure enough when I 'pulled up the
piece of bag etriag .which does ser-
vice for a latch by hooking over a
nail Ili the sill, the whole top of the
door fell in on the stable floor.
They inspected the stables, and
sure enough calamity would have to
be against me. Sir Timothy, -the iluIl,
had gone on a rampage with a slight
peevishness against everything in
general and he had butted down a
section of the stabling, smashing off
the end of a water pipe, with the re-
sult that I had a small lake on the
cow stable floor, with Peter the wthite
drake placidly enjoying a swim. Over
in the corner, Suchansuch, the Collie
pup, was having an argument with,
old Solomon, the gander.
We came back from inside the
barn and went up the lane. I invited
them to come for a drink of cider,
but they just sort of looked in that
ruperior way at me. I noticed that
they kept their , hands up to their
mouths and once I caught a glimpse
of a smile.
It dawned on me that there was
something wrong and I tried to see
what it was without arousing their
interest. My eyes strayed down over
the front of my clothes and then
came to rest on the sight of my hav-
ing two boots for the same foot on.
There had been two pairs of shoes in
the back kitchen, and' I had put -one
Qf each pair on. The -boots were both
for the left foot!
Now, as a rule, people just don't
get under my skin very much,- but the
sight of both those gents laughing
was gradually getting me. They went
at last . . . dodging the mud puddle
in the laneway and I heard a laugh
just as they turned out the gate.
I had resolve& to fix all those items
up, but somehow afterm'I heard 'who
those fellows were, I lost interest in
fixing up the place. They were stock
salesmen and they told Neighbour
Higgins they guessed' I would be of
no use as a prospect. They . hign-
pressured Higgins into buying some,
and now I have a real excuse every
time Mrs. Osifer tries to talk into fix-
ing things up around the place.

'• A New Ottawa
Immediate Plans Cali
For Expenditure of Ten
Million Dollars.
•
•
Not since Sir Wilfrid Laurier, be-
fore the opening of the century, en-
visioned the idea of ,.,making Ottawa
the "Washington 'of the North" has
there been any period of such im-
portance in the physical ;destiny- e%'
Canada's capital as the present, says
the Financial Post.
Cabinet mieetings have bee.i bred
and consultations with eivic authori-
t es; special surveys have been made,
all with a view to evolving a com-
prehensive beautification scheine. M.
Jacques Greber, world authority on
city planning, and the March broth-
ers, internationally famous sculptors
of the National War Memorial, have
been in attendance. There have been
suggestions by the score and de-
cisions, fewer, /but of outstanding
importance.
Building construction in Ottawa' is
scheduled to receive at once a not-
able stimulus. Plans so far ratified—
which by no means represent the
final development envisaged for the
National Capital — call for an ex-
penditure within the next four years
of upwards of $10 millions. The ex-
penditure is not to be'e lade . wholly
upon the beautification project. ,By
far the greater amount of it will go
to provide new and necessary fed-
eral buildings. But they will be
buildings of an architectural dignity
-consistent with the scheme which
the Government Is intent upon carry-
ing out, and located in accordance
with the plans laid down in that
scheme.
Building Replacement
Over a period' -of the next few
years, it is probable that every ex-
isting government building which
can be classed as obsolete'—with the
exception of the venerable east and
west block on Parliament 11111 it-
self—will
t-
self will be replaced, That means
mainly that the present Bureau of
Statistics, now accommodated in a
rambling old' mill btructure, willgo;
that the Printing Bureau will go, and
that the Daley brilddiug, originally
erected for departmental store pur-
poses. , will go. Other s'tructrires
which will be affected are smaller,
among them the Woods Building, at
present housing the department of
national defense, and, the Bates
building, at present accommod'a'ting
the income tax branch.
Within the next fes weeps, the
Government will invite tenders for:
A new Supreme Court building to
cost in the'neigbborhood of one mil-
lion dollars.
A new departmental building to
cost between $4 millions afar `$5 msil-
Iionet
A now, postal Stt.om to serine
the downtown area of the city, to
cost anywhere from a quarter of a
million to over $1 million, depending
upon whether or not any departmen-
tal offices are included in it.
Supreme Court Building
Tb•e new Supreme Court building,
according to the present intention of
.the Ministry, is to be the architec-
tural gem of all the Federal Govern-
ment buildings. Located on the edge
of ti high cliff overlooking the Ottawa
River just west of the new Depart-
ment of Justice building, it will have
the advantage of a site second .,only
to tnat of the House of Commons it-
self. The new departmental building
will be in front of it on Wellington
Street, but so situated as not to hide
it.
• The architecture of the new de-
partmental building will be in har-
mony with the Confederation and
Justice buildings, which have been
erected in recent years on, Welling-
ton Street. The new downtown post -
office will be located at the corner of
Spark amcL Elgin Streets, which will
be one of the corners of the proposed -
square in which the National War
Memorial is to be erected.
• Relieve Congestion
The changes which the imnmediate
phase of the town planning scheme
contemplate will make \ the present
'cramped quarters of downtown Ot-
tawa rapidly a thing of the past. The
plaza between the old post office. the
union station and the Chateau Laur-
ier, which now constitutes a "bottle-
neck" through which 95 per cent. of
the traffic between the east and west
sides of the city passes, is, to be;
more than doubled by covering over
a longer section .of the Rideau Canal
and developing a fan shaped system
of traffic arteries which will mater-
ially lessen the present congestion of
vehicles bound for what is known as
Lowertown.
In the centre of thie plaza, sur-
rounded by a grassy sapaee, trees and
flower beds, will be located the
National War Memorial. It will oc-
cupy a commanding position, ideirking
down Elgin Street. Viewed in per-
spective by people approaching the
centre of the city, a group et -fine
old trees on Parliament Hill itself
will appear as its background. In
trent of it and to the left will be
open park space, elaborately land
seeped. The right side of Elgin St.
will be given a boulevard elect.

Fire Destroys Home
Although it thaw not been definitely

ning was responsible for the destruc-
tion of the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Jobe. Ostrom, Goderich Township. Mr.

Rathwelle and arrived home about 11
o'c1'ook. On opending the door they
were greeted with flames which
spread so quickly 'that nothing could
be done to save either the house or
the contents. Apparently the fire had
been smoldering in the basement, and
when the door was opened it created
a draft which caused' the lower por-
tion of the house to buret into flames.
