Western Ontario Crops Suffer
Severe damage to buildings, crops
and trees was suffered over the
week -end .by a series of week -end
storms which swept over parts • of
Western Ontario.
,Norfolk, Oxford and Elgin Coun-
ties were the chief sufferers. In Nor-
folk, fifteen hundred acres of tobac-
co crop were ruined and in the others
crops were flattened by rain and hail
and trees and buildings demolished
by wind.
- Huron was one of the fortunate -
counties to escape. In fact in some
districts there is a general belief
that we have escaped -too well.: We
are quite willing to dispense with the
wind and hail, but we could benefit
by a lot of rain.
Showers on Saturday and Sunday
were most acceptable. They temper-
ed the heat a little, even if they did
not do more than lay the dust.
But we are not suffering yet, at
least not much. Rust on the wheat
is really bothering us more than lack
of rain. But then the weather nev-
er was just right—t6 suit everybody.

The Now Conservative Leader
The,National Conservative Con-
vention, which convened " in . Ottawa
last week, fulfilled' its purpose and
chose a new party leader to wear the
mantle dropped by their old chief-
tain and former Prime Minister, Rt.
Hon.. R. B. Bennett.
And the new leader is Hon. R. J.
Manion. But while Dr. Manion is
new as a party lead, he is by no
means new to politics or. to the ex-
perience of cabinet duties and re-
sponsibilities.
In fact he has been in public Iife
for over twenty years. He was, elect-
ed Liberal member of Parliament for
Fort William in 1915. Two years
later he was re-elected as a Unionist
member, and after the fall of the
Union Government he joined the
Conservative party ranks and sat as
the Conservative member for Fort.
William until the last Federal elec-
tion, when he met defeat for the first
time.
During Dr. Manion's parliament-
ary career he was chosen to be a
member of. the Meighen Cabinet in
1921, and was again chosen as a
Cabinet colleague by Mr. Bennett in
1930, and acted as Minister of Rail-
ways until 1935, when the Bennett
Government was defeated.
The new Conservative leader is
fifty-eight years of age; of Irish
descent and in religion is a Roman
Catholic. It is said of him that he
does notpossess the ,debating ability
of Mr. Meighen, nor the brilliant
mind of 'Mr. Bennett, but on the
other hand, that he is a very human
tind approachable being, and one who.
has' learned the, value and how to ..
practise co-operation with the rank
and file of his party -followers. He
allwayys,. been pppular, in the
'use and possesses in considerable
measure, not day' the confidence of
.mernbe'rs, but of his p'oliti-
onentl as well. •
tier the appointment
r party leader, did
greater surprise of
vpl Perms
Mr. acPherson wasi a member of
the Anderson Cabinet ixal, the only
Conservative administration t hi e
Province of Saskatchewan has eve
had. • At the general election in hx
Province • a month or so ago, his
party was practically annihilated,
and until his appearance at the Ot-
tawa convention he was practically
unknown, and,.. apparently, inn-
thought
unthought of. -
In spite of these handicaps, how-
ever; he was the real dark horse. He
ran a very strong second to Dr. Man-
ion for the leadership, drawing his
support from every Province of the
Dominion, with the possible excep-
tion of Quebec. In fact, lacking the
support of that Province, there is
more than a possibility that Dr. Man-
ion would not now be the leader of
the Conservative party.
The other surprise was the size of
the convention. When one considers
that there is not a Conservative Gov-
ernment in power in any Province in
the Dominion; that in several Prov-
inces there 'is not a Conservative
member in" the Legislature,- and in
the others a merehandful altogether
and that even in the House of Com-
mons the party representation is ex-
ceedingly small, one might very reas-
onably have doubts as to the size and
success of a Conservative convention
at this time.
However, it did not work out that
way. The convention' was° the larg-
est in the history of the Conservative
party. Not only was every Province
represented, but there was a full re-
presentation from every Province.
That in itself must be, the most en-
couraging feature to all believers in
the party. And that, in itself; should
be looked upon with a large measure
of approval by those who are outside
that party as well.
The two party system of Govern-
ment may not be everything it should
be, but at the sometime it has prov-
en itself the safest, most practical
government for this Dominion, and
its continuance is to be devotedly
hoped for.
Since Confederation there have
been but two leading political parties
in Canada—Conservatives and Lib-
erals. In very recent years the Con-
servative party seems to have fallen
upon very evil clays, and perhaps
more by circumstances than faults.
There seemed to be a possibility, ev-
en a fear, that its days, as a party,
were numbered.
Fortunately for Canada, as a
whole, the recent Conservative con-
vention has proven those possibili-
ties and fears.Troundless. -. The Con-
servative party is still a live issue,
and it is very reassuring to know
that we are still to have it as a politi-
cal foe, rather than the "isms" and
"cure alts" its death would undoubt-
edly have left us heir to.
A Busp Premier
Premier Maurice Duplessis, of the
Province of Quebec, is already a
busy man, and he is going to be ev-
en busier from now on.
For some time Mr. Duplessis has
been Premier, Attorney -General and
Minister of Lands and Forests for
the Province.
Now has announced that he has
taken over the direction of the Pro-
vincial Roads Department and that
Francois J. Leduc has been relieved
of the Roads Ministry.'
We do not know whether Mr.
Leduc did not approve of Mr. Duples-
is' road policy, or whether Mr.
Duplessis did not approve. of Mr.
Leduc, but Mr. Leduc was asked to
resign. Mr. Leduc did not approve
of that either,
At least -he did not send an an-
, saver to the Premier's request --but
he went just the same. Now ° Mr.
Duplessis has four jobs in the Que-
bec Government and that is quite a
few, although some six or seven less
than Mr. Mussolini holds iri the Ital-
ian Government
We do not know whether there is
any connection either, but we notic-
ed that Mr. Hepburn flew to Quebec

ence with Mr. Duplessis. Does the

Phil Osifer of Lazy Meadows'
go (By Harry J. 80y1e)
"JUL'? JOTTINGS" -
I was down in the laneway last
night just after darkness had come
drown, and it certainly was a picture
that a man couldn't quite . forget in a
!lorry". It had been warm all day with
a breath of coolness coming up from
the cedars drown around; the Lazy
Meadows creek. New mown hay pro-
vided about as fine an incense as you.
could find anywhere. Twinkling stars
in a black sky were like .jewels. Aad
over at Neighbour Higgins' place . a
light on the table made silhouettes
on the screen door of the kitchen as
someone was moving around. ,Music
from a radio down the valley was..
somehow discordant with the rest of
the scene.
Jessy, the 'brindle cow, was munch-
ing grass from her end and even she
seemed to - be contented with the
world. A bell tinkled on the ram
down in the south 'meadow. There's
sounds of life stirring here at Lazy
Meadows, but over all there's a quiet
sort of, contentment- T pull the old
pipe out and after lighting it up just
dawdle away several hours soaking
the contentment into my bones.
* * *
Back and Wbetimes and remember-
ing that I have a deadline staring me
in the face. Sounds big to talk as if
a person were a big newspaper• re-
porter, and I'm able to know what
it would be like to,have an editor tell
you that you have just so Iong to turn
in a story.
There comes, a period of chewing
my .pencil and looking around the
room to find something to write
about. There's Methuselah the white
mouse Chewing pensively at his whis-
kers in the cage in the corner. He's
been caged ever since he scared two
of my wife's maiden aunts out of ten
years of growth. I did write one let-
ter about him though!
Well, there is that horsehair sofa.
Time marche•g on, as they say, but
that old sofa remains. It's a relic that
always reminds me of a very uncom-
fortable age. Just -try sitting on ogre
of them on a hot day ie. the summer
when the sweat makes your clothes
stick to you. , -
There's something - about one of
those horsehair sofas. that pricks, you
worse than a new union suit in the
fall. I can remember when that sofa
was new. It was proudly displayed in
the front room and covered with lit-
tle gew-gaws and fancy clothe to keep
it from being worn.
Time and wear, however, managed
to take the shininess and smoothness
from it. Soon It began shedding its
hair and.. the. children always were co-
operating by plucking as many hairs
from it as possible. In fact I've even
pulled them "myself just to see them
curl up around my finger.
Ornate with scrolls and folderols
. . and still standing in ,the front
room .the old sofa must know that its
days are, numbered. Surely it knows
that sooner or later it's going to be
stored up with all that other old fur-
niture over the driving shed, to some
day be broken up into kindling wood.
Courtin' was one of the most im-
portant things in the old days before
the advent -of the motor car. I'm
afraid that the old sofa phis a high -
board fence collar didn't -lend to the
comfort of the occasion. Especially
when a fellow was feeling like a fish
out of water, and trying to get up
enough nerve to ask the final ques-
tion. Every time you squirmed you
were certain to rub the horsehair the
wrong way and get a "shock."
•
During week -days all the parlour
furniture was covered with white dus-
ters. Coming . ,home at night and
squinting into the parlour with a coal
oil lamp in your. hand you were liable
to get the effect of a very superna-
tural setting. When visitors ' were
coming the dusters would- all be spit-
ited away and they would be installed
in the room, before the dustiness had
ail settled. The old sofa sat like, an
overstuffed toad in a small puddle!
But here the letter is filled, the
mailman's coming and I must say "So
long" until next week.
JUST A SMILE OR TWO.

Ford's Little Country Plants -
is (Condensed from Factory Management& Maintenance in Reader's Digest)
- Henry Ford has frequently stated
his belief that this country would• be
better off if a larger fraction of its
people- could work on fatms and gar-
dens during the growing seasons, and
draw factory wages when not . occu-
pied by the land.,, Besides talking a-
bout it, Ford has done something a-
bout it. He has 16 small plap.ts spot-
ted at strategic points,.eacli on a riv-
er where water power runs the ma-
chines. Eight more sites are ready,
with buildings up and jobs determin-
ed, waiting the signal to go ahead.
Ford's idea of industrial deoejtrat=
ization is not the establishment of
branch assembly plants, nor the re-
location of plants from North to South
or frcm city to country to tap a low-
er wage market. It is instead the re-
moval of certain units from a main
plant to small plants out in the coun-
try. Here the full Ford wage scale
is paid, and in several of the ,plants
there are men drawing the highest
'hourly rates in the company.
Anyone who is familiar with Henry
Fond's working principles knows that
the branch plants are not undertaken
primarily as a form of social uplift.
The point is that a small decentraliz-
ed operation, through Its wholesome
effect on the human factor, brings
better work at lower cost.
At Waterford, Michigan., is one of
the smallest of 'the rural plants, and
one of the most notable. Here 65
men make all the precision gauges
used in Ford inspection. Their work
calls for almost infinitesimal accur-
acy. When these men used to make
inspection gauges in their own tiny
department of the huge Rouge plant,
they were just so mady highly paid
workmen'among 85,000. Their job was
important, they knew, but it was ov-
erwhelmed by_ the plant's total im-
mensity.
Out here the real importance of
making top-quality precision instru-
ments' has a chance to be felt. The
men are not a sub -sub -department
tucker!, off in a. corner and alinost for-
gotten.. They are a separate little in-
dustry. making tools: Without which
precision production would be impos-
sible and the modern motorcat non-
existent. Talk With .any of the, men
and you get a feeling of craft and
personal pride which you thought had
long sine banished from the factor-
ies of the earth.
"The anan working over yonder ?
The best tapper 1n' the world, and ev
err* man in the plant will fight if you.
doubt it! '
"Instruments? Any thing we • need
We get. Inspectors? Don't be silly!
Where could yon find. anybody to in-
spect us?' • Any mail who turns out a
piece of work at' Waterford that isn't

Cocky? Assuredly. Swell -headed?
Not a bit. Each man is good but he
knows that over at the next bench is
a man just as good or even a little
better. The spirit is one of pride in
belonging to such an outfit. You nev-
er find that kind of college spirit
tucked away in• a big mass -production
factory. •
But Waterford is hardly a fair sam-
ple of Henry Ford's idea of one foot
in industry and one on the soil, be-
cause gauge makers cannot afford to
Farm with $10 time, and besides they
have 50 weeks of work a year. But
at Ypsilanti, where 1200 men and wo-
men makel starters and generators, a
large proportion of the employees are
as much farmers as factory hands.
Dozbns take leave of absence as soon
as the soil can. be worked in the
spring, returning to their jobs after
harvest. Scores more take shorter
layoffs to help with sowing and thresh-
ing peaks. Rule One at all the small
plants is that a man may leave any
time to work on the farm-, may have
his job back when he gets through
farming. Many of the workers are
over 60 years old. For all, men and
women, the Ford wage of $6 a day is
minimum.
A mran laid off in an industrial city
is condemned to idleness and Lost in-
come unless he gets another job. In
the country he always has enough
postponed farm work to keep him
profitably busy as long as he is off'—
and if the shutdown should be long,
he has his land to support him. The
city employee m!ay not always be
found- after layoff, but the farmer -
worker has his roots down, is there
when the shop reopens.
As you go through Ypsilanti, you
observe various operations different
from anything you have ever seen.
