HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Huron Expositor, 1942-02-27, Page 2The proposed agreement is charged ':.. •.
wittyh threats and dangers to the ..
Autonomy of the Province."
-To refute that charge, Icon. J. L.
ley, on the floor ' of the Houle of
Commons, on Monday of last week
said: "It has been assumed through
out that the wording of the appro-
priation act of last session gave the
necessary authority. The adequacy
of this authority was questioned last.
Friday for the first time by ` the
Province of Ontario. The moment.
the point was raised I told .Mr.
Conant (Ontario Attorney -General)
that I would consult the Department
of Justice, and if a further act of the
Dominion Parliament was required
it would be introduced this session."
It is quite evident that Mr. Hep•
burn must have known of Mr.
Ilsley's statement in the Commons
beforehe made his own statement
in the Legislature. But no proof will
convince him that Ottawa will ever
be worthy of trust as long as Mr.
King heads the ° government. And
so the Legislature was adjourned:
Ontario is the only Province in the
nine which' constitute the Dominion
that has refused to accept the agree-
ment with the Dominion Govern-
ment. All were offered precisely the
same terms, but, as we say; no Ot-
tawa terms would be accepted by
Mr.; Hepburn,.
•
Both Are Correct °
The Orillia Packet and Times in a
recent editorial said: "The Liberal
members of the Legislature, in cau-
cus assembled, have -passed a vote of
confidence in Mr. Hepburn, after
four hours of debate. If they first
exacted from him a promise to stick
to provincial affairs, and keep out of
Dominion . politics, they will have
done a service to Canada's war ef-
fort."
• And here is another editorial com-
ment' from the St. Thomas Times-,
Journal, Mr. Hepburn''s own town
paper: "Having been in hot water
so often through speaking without
thinking, Mr. Hepburn ought to have
learnedhis lesson' after sixteen years
of public life. There ..is` an - axiom
which says: 'Look before you leap.'
Mr. Hepburn should think before he
speaks."
Both are correct.
•
No Doubt Of It]
Samuel G. Smith, of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, said the other day that.
with nine sons registered for mili-
tary service and a tenth enlisted in
the navy, he believed the Smith fam-
ily may hold .a national record. -•
No doubt of it, Sam!

Too Bad
Since Britain declared •war on
Japan, :. the Japanese diplomats and
the Embassy staff have been virtiiai
prisoners in the Japanese Embassy
in London.
Now they have a complaint. They
are badly, in need of haircuts, and -
have asked the British •through the
Swiss 'representatives to recognize
the fact that they have been shut,•,up
for three' months without being able
to..visit a barber.
That's too bad,. but, apparently, it
is going to be worse. Under their
present mood the British people—
barbers included—are insisting that
the Japanese shave themselves and
cut their own hair—and their own
throats ,,-too, if they feel so inclined.

The War Lpan
Canoda is asking for a loan of six
hundred million dollars. . A collosal
sum, but one well within the powers
of the people of Canada to lend.
War to -day cannot be carried on
without adequate and modern me-
chanical equipment, and that means,
possibly, that Canada's war will
largely be fought with money–
The cry is for More ships, more
guns, more tanks, more planes, and
the du - of the people of Canada is
to thein. That means that
every citizen of Canada must lend
money for their purchase. No
amount is too large, no amount too
s IialL
One glance at the war news will
show how really serious the situa-
tion is. It is quite within the bounds
of possibility that Canada . herself
will be attacked, and not on one
ocean, but- on both. -.
There is only one way to defeat
the menace and that is by superior
force and superior equipment, and
every Canadian citizen has .a part to
play in providing that force and that
", equipment. Lending money is not
asking much' of a sacrifice, but that
is what you are being asked to 'do
now., Later, it may be different.
The response to the present war
loan has ,been exceptionally good,
but there is still a long way to go be-
fore Canada can show her enemies
that she is in this war to a finish.
The noted. clergyman, Dwight L.
Moody, who was endowed , with won-
derful ability to collect money for
any cause,- whether for just current
expenses or , building a church,
once asked to explain how he inspir-
ed generosity in the hearts of his
listeners, said: a`I urge people- to
give' -until they feel it, and then to
keep on giving until they 'don't feel
it."
Try it with. the War Loan.

The Legislature Adjourned ;
After _sitting, for a week, the On-
tario Legislatute was adjourned on
Thursday last, to meet again at the
call„ of the Premier. The members
in the mea time, having •been given
half theirssional indemnity; -which
amounts to one thousand dollars.
The reason given by the Ontario
Premier for this most unexpected
move was that he could not come -to
.terms with the Dominion Govern-
ment respecting th e,•„ agreement
Whereby the Province-_ will vacate'
the personal income and corporation
tax fields in favor of the Dominion
for the duration of the war, in re-
turn for which"the Government of
Canada will pay the Province< $28,-
961,488
$28;961,488 each fiscal year, in qua) terly
instalments.
This agreement calls for the col-
lection of all personal income and
corporation taxes by the Dominion
- during the war, but the Province
was not to be •deeiried to have sur-'
-rendered, abandoned or given over
_ to the Dominion any of the powers,
rights and privileges conferred upon
it by the British ,North American
Act.
Notwithstanding the '' plain terms ..
of the agreement, however, it is the
Ontario Premier's contention that
Ottawa will use the war as an ex-
cuse- for permanently occupying this
field of taxation, and that the Do-
m pion Government has no intention
of passing an act authorizing the
iffigning of the Dominion -Provincial
laxation agreements, without which
the Province 'would be denied this
Heid of taxation at the close of, the
°,.if the Federal Government felt
gpoed -Co' hang on to it.

"A PAMPERED PIG"
"I't never pays to pamper a young
'unl" Tnat is a sage reflection of an
uncle of mine and 'in the past few
days I am more than- ever convinced
that he knew what he was talking
snout the day he told me. His con-
v'ietion is that no matter what the
circumstances may be you pay in the
long run for pampering of any kind.
Grunter, our dgrumhling..B•erkshire,
had a litter of little pigs one bight.
There were eight perfect pigs and
one runt. This runt seemed to be a
social •outcast among the others and
even his mother nudged tains;, ,none too
.gently out of the way. He was. the
ugly duckling of the pig family.
Mrs- Phil's Aunt Bessie was at Lazy
1Vleadows at the time -and sae decided
to take charge of the runt.. He was
installed in a lined «basket behind the
stove in the kitchen. Shivering and
jiggling when he went in, the warm
milk is the bottle which they kept
forcing him to lap •up through a nip-
ple, soon rounded ' out some of the
wrinkles in his little body.
His least squeal would bring some-
body running to give him attention.
Patricia Ann kept piling on the cov-
ers until he must have been sweating
lard ;but that insolent Belie runt just
kept on prospering.
His squeal developed) into a grunt
and he was moved out in his basket
to the woodshed. He developed in
time, a tendency to atop out of the
basket and when Mrs. Phil discovered'
one • Monday morning that he had bur-
rowed down• into a pile' of clothes
waiting to be washed, he was ordered
away from the house.
Porky seemed just Pike a boy. in
velvet rompers put in among a group
of street urchins in dirty clothes
when he was deposited with his bro-
thers and sisters in the pen under
the driving shed. He may have .been
a tyrant in his little basket in the
house,. but he' was a knee -shaking
coward with these eight others.
' Now pig -pens are not the cleanest
spots on a farm. Porky seemed to
shrink up when his feet touched the
!oWs
Booi#4 4 ...
floor. Hehacked; into a ecoiner. and
rsInnahVfl his back and his estranged'
brothers and sisters ranged around
and I•oolced him over. His clean hide
eeemed go doubt very strange to
them,. They' moved in a little closer
and Porky pulled back as far as -the
boprds would allow him to go.
Feeding -time interrupted at the
right time and the family all trouped
in to see what was on the menu.
while they went at -the task in a
hearty manner, Porky stood around
helpless. He was a bottle-fed 'baby.
When he was moved in on • the pro-
duction rine, Grunter took a couple
of, bites at him and he twisted his
tail :up and squealed his'way back
into the other pen.
When we came back to do the
chores after supper the other mem-
bers of 'the family had him backed,
into a corner and were giving him a
realshare • of punishment. He was
squealing and grunting and kicking
"Mid Mrs. 'Phile and Aunt Bes-
sie handed down- an ultimatuni that
he would have to go into,,, a pen of
his own.
That's how it is that Porker has
prospered in a pen of bis own. Pam-
pered by everyone in :the family he
•gets the tastiest left -overs. A runt
when he started out in life he is now
at that weight so appreciated by the
Bacon Board and the packing plants.
The trouble now is that , ?he" family
think that Porker should be spared
fromthe execution block. Every day
'he is, putting on the pounds and ev-
ery day that. I mention taking him
away to market there is a ,show of.
tears. As a sort of compensation to
:him they shower some more tasty
victuals on „him . . which all means
more weight and less chance of a
bonus on him.

still in Canada.
The First Division was gathered in
almost record time. Basic training of
that Division was dropped because
fighting was still going on in France.
That was a disadvantage which 'has
never been overcome. Word has been
passed hack to complete 'all basic
training in • Oanada, including the
learning -of trades. The new Divi-

New Equipment Perfect
More and more skilled tradesmen
are needed by the army, and- they
cannot be taken out of industry. The
trade schools are therefore worth
their, weight in gold. Repair shops
are vitally necessary. None of the
mechanical equipment was alcfu 1ty
