JFTVE PROVINCES
INSTEAD OF NINE?
From time to time comes the sug
gestion that we have too much Gov
ernment in Canada. The claim is
.made by many that the„cost of mak
ing laws and satisfactorily looking af
ter the needs of our 11,000,000 or so
\of population could be accomplished
with less elected members and not
•.so many legislatures.
To the Rowell Cornmission on Do
minion-Provincial Relations at Winni
peg it was suggested that five Prov
inces instead of nine would dd much
to cut duplicate costs, of Provincial
Government and parliamentary ad
ministration. The proposal is to un
ite the three Maritime Provinces in
to one: the three Prairie Provinces
one, and British Columbia and the
Yukon in one. Ontario and Quebec
would remain as at present.
This "seems like a very practical
idea and one that the Commission
should study thoroughly for their re
port. Some the provinces would, no
doubt, raise objections to such a
scheme but as the Commission goes
from Province to Province, especially
those which would be joined with
others, they should determine just
what a saving this would make and
also decide whether or not it would
work out successfully.
We are overgoverned in Canada
and it may be that the Commission
will evolve a better plan than
•suggested at Winnipeg, but
tetter one is found the above
to have great merit.

DRIVE CAREFULLY
At this time of the year despite the
fact that highway travel is not as
great as during the summer months
the number of car accidents is great.
Many of these-mishaps are not caused
by the carelessness of the drivers but
are due to conditions that prevail at
this time of year, fog, slippery roads,
etc. ' 8
■^Vhen weather conditions are such
that highway travel is the more dan
gerous, it is up to motorists to ex
ercise greater care than at other tim-

has for the past few years tried in
various ways to impress upon the

Tour donated carload of provisions
duly arrived at Bredenbury from
Wingham, Ont., and was distributed
by the local committee at its destin
ation. We, as the central committee
well realize the sacrifice and energy
as well as the organized effort en
tailed in assembling each car and we
are anxious that a sincere message
of gratitude reach everyone concern
ed. We trust that the recipient them
selves have already acknowledged this
gift but it is barely possible they may
not yet have had the necessary infor
mation to make this possible.
.The residents of our drought area
have much to be thankful for this sea
son. The Sister Provinces have been
most generous and many of our peo
ple have been better provided for

■We sincerely trust that this may be
the last year such help is necessary.
Many expressions of appreciation
have been receiyed in this office. We
only hope the true feeling may be
conveyed to everyone who assisted’ in
any way to make these
gifts possible.

Dear Friends:
On behalf of the people of Perley
School District No. 395 I wish to con
vey many thanks and deepest apprec
iation to all those who contributed to
the car of fruit and vegetables which
was sent from Wingham to Breden
bury, Sask.
This car was distributed through
out this district along with five other
rural school districts and the town b’f
Bredenbury. It was very fairly hand
led and evenly distributed, everyone
receiving their equal share.
It has been our privilege on two
occasions during these dry seasons to
ship carloads- of vegetables to the
southern part of the province. But
this'year the drought extended 'farth
er north and most of the crops and
gardens were simply burned up.
This car was received in splendid
condition and if the occasion ever
arises the people of this district hope
they will be able to repay the people
of Wingham for their kindness shown
at this time. I am ,
Yours sincerely,
D. J. Wiley,
Sec.-Treas., Perley S. D. No. 395.

were lovely. Thanks very much for
them, I keep house for my father and

that he ever tasted.
The carload of vegetables and fruit

very poor this year. We hope we
have a more abundant year next.
Woyld you please send the recipe for
those pickles, I sure would love to
have it. ’Thanking you, again, I re

Yours truly,
