SEAFORTH, Friday, May 27, 1938.
The Federal Works Programme
Announcement has been .made by
the Dominion Government that it is
about to launch a federal works pro-
gramme which will necessitate the
spending of some $40,000,000.
That will be exceedingly good
news to many people in Canada, be-
side the unemployed, and included in
that class will be contractors, manu-
facturers and others who have per-
sonal axes to grind. As for the rest
of the people, which comprise a very
large majority of the population,
they -might be excused for express-
ing some serious doubt\ about the
theory of spending to make one rich.
Such a policy has not worked out
when adopted by other nations. Par-
ticularly is this noticeable across the
line, where some billions of dollars
have been spent for recovery and
where to -day the sole objeet attain-
ed seems to have been the bringing
about of a recession, which is proving
as disastrous to the general business
of the country aswas the depression
against which it was aimed and
which it was ,eupposed to cure.
However, it must be admitted that
if the Government's forty millions is
-Spent judiciously, it may, in many
cases, prove to be a wise investment.
Spending some millions of dollars on
improving tourist highways might
readily be called an investment, and
a very paying one at that, as the
tourist trade is already bringing mil-
lions of dollars of outside money in -
e to Canada every year, and if that
trade is properly looked after and
encouraged, those millions can be
doubled.
Spending money on drought re -
.habilitation in the Western Prov-
inces is also a wise investment- In
fact, it is something that has to be
done, and should be done as rapidly
as possible, if the crushing burden
of relief expenditures in these Prov-
inces is to be lightened.
Coming much nearer home, we
would say that spending some of this
money on the Grand River conser-
vation project will undoubtedly
prove a wise and paying investment.
It will not only safeguard the land
and the farming industry over a
wide portion of old settled districts
in Ontario, but provide ample op-
portunity for work for the present
unemployed over the counties af-
fected by the project.
We have become so accustomed, in
--recent years, to hear money spoken
of in terms of millions and billions,
that we speak quite glibly about the
Government's forty million spend-
ing campaign. But forty million
dollars is really a lot of money even
When it is spent in making the wis-
est investments. On the other hand,
if it is to be spent in playing Santa
Claus to a favored and greedy few,
it is just forty million dollars too
much.

•County Councils To Stay
In a statement given out to the
press last week, Premier Hepburn
has given a new lease of life to coun-
ty councils. His government, he
said, had no intention of abolishing
them at the present time.
We can not help but think it was
a wise statement for the Premier to
make. Wise in the light of votes at
any rate.
That does not mean, -however,
that the County Council, as a legis-
lative -body, -has now a permanent
of life. Far from it. Premier
may change his Mind in
Astant future, and if he
all pr�babthty some/
Oine other GOV,.
.4%
adopted by the. County Councils, or
rather the county councillors, and
the electors who send them there.
If County Councils get down to
brass tacks and run the business of
the counties as it should be done—
tht is, economically and without
fear or favor; as aewhole and not in-
dividual parts; assume responsibili-
ties which are theirs and theirs
alone, instead of trying to shoulder
them upon the Government, educate
their electors to the fact that there
has to be give as well as take; that
county improvements have to be paid
for out of thetaxpayers money, and
that nine times out of ten the coun-
ty will be more lenient on the tax-
payer than the Government—then
County Councils will continue to ex-
ist for a long time to come.
During recent years County Coun-
cils have given up voluntarily re-
sponsibility after responsibility, the
theory being that the Government
had more money, why not let them
pay for things. And the Government
has paid. And at the swine time the
people have paid through the nose
to meet these same Government
bills.
In the meantime, Premier Hep -
burn's announcement has played sad
havoc with many a County Coun-
cil's programme at their June ses-
sions. Dozens upon dozens of reso-
lutions condemning the formerly be-
lieved policy of the Government to
abolish the County Councils, will
have to go by the board.
Speeches long and laboriously pre-
pared will have no point, and
thoughts of ordinary business have
been too long delayed to produce
any real eloquence. The Premier
should have had more consideration
than to create such a distressing sit-
uation. It is inflation at its worst

Interesting Hems Picked From

Saskatchewan Can Be Saved
That is the statement made by
Premier Aberhart of Alberta, in a
speech on Saturday night last dur-
ing his Saskatchewan election cam-
paign.
But Mr. Aberhart was careful to
qualify the statement somewhat. He
added that Saskatchewan could be
saved—but only by Social Credit—
and only by giving him one chance
to do it.
Considering that Mr. Aberhart
has proved himself utterly incapable
of reducing the theory of Social
Credit to the every clay business of
his own Province of Alberta where-
by the peeple would be benefitted, as
he so repeatedly promised; we won-
der at his reference to Social credit
at all.
In fact to the majority of the peo-
ple of Canada, outside the people of
Alberta, and, apparently, some in
Saskatchewan, Social Credit, as a
panacea for all the ills, government
and otherwise, was as dead as fil.
proverbial door nail: Even Premier
Aberhart has discarded it.
No longer do we hear anything
about twenty-five dollars a month
for every man, woman and child in
his Province. Not a murmur. Mr.
Aberhart is not eaying anything
about it in Saskatchewan either. His
party has dropped the Douglas the-
ories for something practieal some-
thing that really will pay dividends.
The policy of the party is not now
to bring about Social Credit, but to
b ri ng about revenge: Revenge
against the whole creditor class, not
only in Alberta, IF t in the whole of
Canada. Only the debtor Will here-
after be considered. And under the
conditions that have prevailed in
the Western Provinces for some
years, the debotor vote has become a
Very influential one.
Mr. Aberhart has graduated from
the leadership of Social Credit to
the leadership of the "People." And
he is going to lead them against the
sonless Government at Ottawa;
against the banks; against the peo-
ple of the East, and against every
kind of creditor who seeks to collect
what is due him.
"The people," the Western Pre-
mier. adds, "are hoodwinked under
the Liberal, Conservative and other
methods. Just give me one chance."
And, perhaps, the people of Sas-
khtehewan will. As we say the deb-
tor Vote is a nice thing to haVt at

I was getting just about as fed up
as possible ore that hospitaL It's just
sort of a slow torture, to lie there
and look out those windOws and see
everything just. springing up into
bloom. I could just imagine what it
was like back on Lazy' Meadows.
On a damp, steamy sort of day like
this there would be a few wraith of
clouds hovering down over the marsh.
Neighbor Higgins, he's just too hoots
and a holier over the creek, would
be over about One time in the morn-

ing and complaining around the old

sure and wallowing in that pool that
comes fromthe drip from the water -
tank . . . But my soliloquizing
came to a rude end when the door
Opened and that young doctor came
In.
He put on his best beside manner,
and sat down on the side of the bed.
"Hmram," he says in that exasperat-
ing way, 'that makes you wonder if
you're all cured or standing on the
side of your own grave. Then he
starts tapping on my chest, cocks his
head on one side like Suchaus(uch our
Collie pup, &yang to find out if there
is a groundhog in a hole, and stops
to stroke his chin as if he was lost
in deep contemplation.
"Not so good. this morning," he
states after an thour of deliberation.
"Say, listen, you young whipper-
snapper," I flew off this morning,
"you are supposed to be a speeialist.
One of those birds who have knowl-
edge just sticking out of their ears,
and yea don't semi to know yet what
is the matter with me."
,
"This ie a very comilcated ease,"
he comes back with
advise abso-
lute quiet and nest for at least a
month. You're a nervous type."
That finished me. Nerves! I
haven't had such a thing as nerves
for ryears, and no cock -sure young
bird,. just out of school was' Weil* to
tell me that I badi nerves. That fired
him right on the spot, tend I called
en the nurse and told her to Call Dr.
Hawkins, down at Lazy Meadows.
She wasn't any too sure, as to whe-
ther. she should or not, but I guess
the young gent gave up in despera-
tion.
1 fretted and fumed all morning.
Then 1 was looking out the window
and I saw that old (career his abeam
up 'to ..the front -of the hospital. He
dived out through the door, and
knocked his hat off in the same way
that he's been doing ever since he
first had a car. Then he stopped to
sort of square his almulders, brushed
his hat a little and picked -up his old
-
black bag. Doc Hawkins never was
much on fanciness, and from where
I could see out the window, I• just
thought he would be feeling like me
out of place in a swanky hos-
pital.
The nurse showed him in, and he
just waved her away. Then he set
the bag down and took a look at me.
"What in the name of kingdom
come are you doing in here?"
1 hard( to explain then that my niece
'had been down at Lazy Meadows and
when I developed a little fever he
had bundled me toe to this city hos-
pital. I told' him everything, and he
just sat there and looked at me. Af-
ter I was through he sort of exam-
ined me, and then laughed .
"Phil, 1 know you too well to say
you were sick. Mind you, you're his
patient and all have to get his per-
mission before I take you home."
After a while the nurse brought in
my clothes, and I got ready. You
know I never appreciated( old Doc
Hawkins as much inalterly,Ree, as
did when we were ohugging along in
that old car of his.
