An Election In Quebec
Premier Maurice Duplessis, head
of the Nationale Government in the
--Province of Quebec, announced on
Sunday night, the dissolution of the
Quebec Legislature and the holding
of a general election on Wednesday,
October 25th, after a term of only
three years.
The reasons assigned by Mr. Dup-
lissis for this most unlooked for elec-
tion are many, but all along the
same line, the principal ones of
which we quote:
"For several years a campaign has
been conducted, and direct and in-
direct attempts have been made with
a view to lessening considerably and
even to abolish provincial atonoiny
for the purpose of forming one gov-
ernment directed by Ottawa."
"The Union Nationale consider
that provincial autonomy,. guaran-
teed by the Federal pact, is essential
to the best interests of the Province,
conforms with its traditions, its
rights and its indispensable preroga-
tives..."
"Invoking`ethe pretext of the war,
declared by the Federal Government,
a campaign of assimilation and cen-
tralization, manifest for several
years,. is accentuating itself in an in-
tolerable
ntolerable manner."
• In other words, while the Prov-
ince of Quebec, along with the other
Provinces of the Dominion, is at
war, the same as Canada is at war,
itis much more important, from the
standpoint of Mr. Duplissis, that the
equal rights of the Province of Que-
bec be not only maintined, but en-
larged than that there should be a
complete unity as between the.. Prov-
inces and the Dominion in order to
ensure the successful conduct of the
war in which we are engaged.
Of course Quebec always did take
its politics seriously, but at the same
time, there is an ever increasing
nuinber of people across Canada,
who have come to the serious conclu-
sion that the peace and welfare of
Canada, in recent years, has suffer-
ed not so much from the centraliza-
tion of government at Ottawa,. as for
the lackof it. That some Provinces
have taken advantage of favorable
interpretations of the British North
America Act made by the Privy
Council, to seize power and privilege
and enhance the welfare of them-
selves at the expense of the other
Provinces and the Dominion as a
whole..
If Canada comes through this war
successful and united, it will be be-
cause there is a strong central gov-
ernment at Ottawa, and not because
the heads of the nine Provinces, or
any one of them have taken'advant-
age of the times to increase their
own importance.
Quebec is not going to suffer un-
der Ottawa authority at this time, or
any time, any more than any other
Province, and Premier Duplissis is
as well aware of that fact as any
other Canadian. Holding an election
at this time will not increase the
$Laois of his Province in the sight of
the world, nor will it, for the reasons
given, enhance his prestige within
or without the Dominion.

It Might Be A Good Thing
We were reading in an Old COMTE—
t17 paper the other day about the
block-outs in London and other Hr
tis • cities and towns, and how they
affected the social life of the people.
vidently a black -out is edery;
that the name implies. There
( light visible from the houses,
Or the res or public buildings,
an here else. There is the
of
cigarette or cigar and an oe-
tir i ret on the street.
' ll. he .rest is dark-
, ebraeing one at
„d;
a
to
le,
that. Traffic on the streets at nigh
is a mere Weide. It is dangerous t
drive and more dangerous to walk.
There are no theatres, no night clubs
and the movies close at six p.m.
Consequently, the- social habits of
the people in these cities and towns
have been completely altered. There
is nu entertainment up. -town, and it
would be too dangerous to go if there
were.
People consider themselves lucky
to get home and quite content to
stay there when they arrive, A new
family life has sprung up, something
like the old .Victorian. The family
has to make its own entertainment,
or at best, with the help of their im-
mediate neighbors. And they are do-
ing that—and liking it too.
It might prove rather advantag-
eous to the physical and moral wel-
fare of the. people if Ontario went
into the black -out business for a
-while. Particularly advantageous to
the youth, of the land. Give them a
chance to meet the other members
of their family and their parents.
And their parents a chance to be-
come acquainted with their children,
which seems impossible now.
If we had about six nights of that
a week during the winter, we would
walk out into a pew world in the
spring.-

Guarding .Hydro ,
For a Government that is as
touchy on the question of Provincial
rights, as is the Government of On-
tario, it is a little bewildering to
read the abuse that was heaped up-
on the head of Ottawa at the recent
extra session of the Ontario Legis-
lature, because the Federal Govern-
ment has not assumed the cost of
guarding the Hydro plants through-
out the. Province.
It is true that the successful pros-
ecution of industry, particul rly war
industries, will depend to no small
extent on Hydro power. But at the
same time the present and addition-
al power that will be required will
augment considerably the profits of
Hydro, which is, exclusively, an On-
tario enterprise controlled exclusive-
ly by,the Ontario Government, even
if the municipalities sometimes think
otherwise.
Consequently, it is only reasonable
to believe. that Hydro being an ex-
clusive Ontario product, that the
Province should assume • complete re-
sponsibility for its overhead, includ-
ing the cost of guarding its plants,
where necessary. If Ontario reaps
the sole benefit from Hydro, why
should the other Provinces: be asked
to shoulder the bills, or any part of
them?
Great as was the abuse heaped up-
on Ottawa at the recent session, it
would have looked as very feeble
compared to that which would have
followed had Ottawa even hinted at
interference in any way with Hydro
affairs. And what a declaration of
war there would have been over Pro-
vincial rights.
But Provinc>.a rights, it would
seem, are only right and desirable
when they yield a substantial profit
to the Province concerned. Other-
wise it is the duty of . Ottawa to
shoulder all expenses and all losses.
Or so it would seem.

What Acre WeComing To Ne.tt? ..
Out in Libertyville, Illinois, a mod-
ernized mechanized dairy farm has
installed a microphone loudspeaker
colw-calling system. An attendant
(farm hand) croons "So-oo-ey boss”
into the mike; the amplifier carries
the call across the barnyard and pas-
ture and the cows contentedly truck
on down the lane to be milked.
That is fine as far as it goes, but
there mustbe more to it than that.
For instance, how does the farmer
gest the farmhand out to the barn in
the early morning, so he will be in a
position to croon into the mike?
Does he have to have a microphone
loudspeaker systeminstalled beside
his bed into which he can croon,
"Get up, Bill," and an amplifier to
carry the call up to the hired man
and keep after him until he gets up,
and follow him down to the barn?
That is the trouble with mechaniz-
ed farming—it is expensive --be-
cause one machine always demands
another. And then there isthe wear
and tear -from the time the first one
is installed until a new one is invent-
ed, when the process is 'repeated.

(By Harry J. Boyle)•
"MY FARM"
He was one of those typical young
city men filled with notions that ev-
eryone from the farm is a hick, He
had a pasty face and a jerky oough
and he soloed cigarettes incessantly,
and be looked edowo in a rather con-
descending way and+'sai.d, "Well, well,
how are things on the farm those
days? Still grubbing away for a liv-
ing, I suppose?"
It was in Tim Murphy's, store and
the young chap was selling something
and waiting for Tim to finish serving
a customer, I didn't brave to grope
around for worlds them because the
words were framed for me as fast as
I could say them, "Well, son, I guess
we are grubbing for a livin'gehut we
know when we work that we'll get
plenty to eat. We here good homes
and the simple comforts that a man
appreciates, and the sense to know
teat a patent' leather hair cut or
flashy clothes never make a man.
When we total up the record) on. Sat-
urday morning we may not have a
great de•aI of money for our labors,
but we have worked hard and enjoy-
ed good living and we know there's
no chance of a little pink slip in our
envelopes to tell us that our services
are no longer required.."
I left trim with his mouth agape
like a gangling fish in a shallow pool.
and struck off for home. I started
thinking of my home then and of
wheat it really meant to me.
Somehow after a person has been
away there's a sense of security in
turning in your own laneway. The
very act of -.•getting out and shutting
the front gate seems to be a barrier
that will keep out the unkind aspects
of a world that can be -most unkied.
Take a cool evening in the fall for
instance, when a man turns in that
front gate and sees his wife framed
I in the light from the kitchen window.
You'll see ;her brush ;the steam from
the window made by her breath and
ilten on seeing you she'Il wave a
cheery welcome and disappear to put
the kettle on, in order that the water
may be shot for the tea by the time
yeou're through in the stable.
With the early darkness of a fall
evening you have to light the lantern
in order to put the horses away.
There's •a pleasant warmth in the
stable and the sound of tete stock.
The horses fall to eating in a hearty
way, a.nd Tabby• stretches luxuriantly
from where she has been reposing on
the, dhop bag and comes up to affec-
tionately rub against your pant leg.
Suchansuch, the Collie pup, is romp-
ing around in the pile of hay that
someone thoughtfully put down for
feeding the horses, and old' Sir Tim-
othy, tihe red .bell, champs around in
his stall as if protesting the disturb-
ances to his slumber.
On the way up to tihe house you
stop for a moment to glance in the
lien house where the hens are sleep-
ily clucking on their roosts. As you
,open the door one falls from the
roost and after stalking around stup-
idly hops up on the lower perch. In
the ..orchard the occasional vagrant
breeze is rewarded by tire sound of
an apple plopping, into the grass, Old
Tom, the turkey gobbler, sends forth
his "Qui Vive" like a ghostly sentinel
from his outlaw perch on top of the
driving sh'e'd.
And then just before opening the
back kitchen door you stop to look
back at the panorama of your farm
outlined by the early evening moan
which has come •peeping over the
'hills. There's a mist of grayish fog
hovering in the low spots, contrast-
ing the black outline of the eims on
the knolls.
There comes to you in that mo-
ment a feeling of •stoveneigrity, as you
gaze back along the laud that brings
forth from its bosom each year the
crops that give you your daily bread.
Perhaps it's grubbing for a living but
it's a Goce-made task and that's a con-
solation, because the (handiwork of
man is not showing up to best ad-
vantage in these days of strife.
:JUST A. SMILE OR TWO:
The man in the queue for the the-
aterfelt someone touching his back.
Turning round, he saw 'a girl about
to leave the line,
"I'm going across the road to get
some candy," she said
"Well, that 'doesn't interest me,"
said the man.
"I know," was the reply, "but I've
put a chalk mark on your baok in
case I forget my place!"
•
The ranee owner telephoned his
Maneager to buy "two sows 'n' pigs."

And trouble none should borrow;

It is s•aide that George Gershwin
once arranged to take lessons in com-

A Fact A Week
About Canada
(From the D(psirtlon Barton of
Stitt ties)
TRAPPING FROM THE AIR
It Is' not so )long ago that Canada
found It necessary to impose drastic
regulations to curb the activities of`
trappers'. Now, so . rapid bas been
the progress; made in flying transport
that it has been necessary to issue a
new set of regulations to cover the
use of aircraft in trapping operations
in the Northwest Territories.. It is
now ordained that with the exception
of the recently -created) Mackenzie
Mountains Preserve, aeroplanes may
only be used by trappers: as a means
of transport between the pointe of ac-
tivity and the )trapper's base ramp.
Every trapper using thee aeroplane for
transport purpecees is required to com-
plete an affidavit setting out the
place of his camp and full particu-
lars of his cpenati'ona. In the Mac-
kenzie Mountains Preserve the use of
aeroplane transportation at all in con-
nection with trappiing"is prohibited.
The regulation of the use of aircraft
is len the interest not merely of game
preservation but also of the native-
population
ativepopulation of the Territories, whose
livelihood in the out-of-the-way place
depends to a large extent on game
and fun -bearing animals. Air trans -
imitation has now made it ,possible
for trappers, tourists and, others to
reach these outlying •regions; hence -
the nesrbrdctinns. ''Phey are part and!
parcel of a consistent policy of con-
servation, an•othor manifestation cf'
which was the creation of the Mac-
kenzie Mount'ai'ns Preserve itself. Cov-
ering an area of some 70,000 square^,
miles, it has been, set aside in the.
interest of the native population and.
comprises the hunt:lag grounds of
many families living along the Mac-
kenzie and Liard Rivers. It is there
that the marten, one of the North's
important fur -bearers, abounds.
The establiebanent of the Macken-
zie Mountains Preserve *has brought
the total area of game preserves set
aside in the Northwest for the exclu-
sive use of Indians, Eskimos and"halt
breeds., up to approximately 584,00@
square miles. In addition the Terri-
tories have nearly 25,000 square miles
of parks' and game sanctuaries.

Calf Rescued From Weli
The old nursery rhyme "Pussy's in.
the Well" was changed slightly this
week to "The calf is lin the well" and.
it wasn't ;little Johnnie Stout who'
:pulled 'him out but a wrecker's hoist.
Atthre farm of George Wilson in.
Goderich township, a calf stepped aur-
a
rma covered well, causing the planks
to spread apart and letting him.
through into eleven feet of , water_
The bawling of other calves led the
owner to investigate. Efforts to
bring the animal to the surface with
ropes wtee unsuccessful• and finally
a wrecker's hoist was used. The calf
was little worse for Iris bath.—Cliu-

Hot Time At Carlow School Fair
If you think they didn't hare a hat
time, at Carlow bast Fniday, you can
think it over again. It was .the day
of the annual school fair for Oolbora•e
:township, also the day when Old Sob
went up for a record and made the
thermometers bail. There ire no offic-
ial "weather man at Carlow, but un-
officially the temperature was report-
ed to be about 105 in the shade (if
you could find any) and. 150 under
the collar. The ladies of Sthith's `Hill
church did their best to relieve the
situation by dispensing ice cream ands
cold drinks, but the supply was not
equal to the demand, and "hot drags"
wbic+h usually have quite a snappy
sale, were p'asseedl up by 'hot, thirsty
children. The pump' at the corner
went dry for the first time in history-
