I>, 1939, are hereby notified to send Here we go for a rambling letter about everything in general. Easter has gone by, with its attendant pleas­ ures. In the first place like all other males, I marvelled at the various forms of hats that were worn to church on Easter morning, Mrs. Tim. Murphy, the storekeeper’s wife, was the one who took the prize in my estimation, with her skull cap that looked like a peeled onion, and an egg beater out of which protruded one of the longest feathers I have ev­ er seen. Watching, you expected any minute to see a man come out and run a flag up to the top of it! -Mrs. Phil also had a weird concoc­ tion that looked like a miniature bus­ hel basket with wings and rudder to steer it by. Perched in the cpyest places all around it were little pro­ ducts of the fruit and vegetable king­ doms, Mrs. Jack McGeoghan had a hat perched on top of her head that look­ ed like one of those tiny, little paper ones that you get at a carnival. There was a little Sprig of birds down on the side of it, and an enormous rib­ bon disappearing down between the chins on the bottom side of her very round face. It's funny to watch women in church on Easter morning. Each is so proud of her own outfit, trying to look composed and trying to see what the others are wearing, without let­ ting themselves appear too obvious. They turn just a little, find their neighbors doing the same thing and stare straight ahead. And then after church . . . there’s a general rush for the church door and a lot of false smiles. Each one smiling, and saying to themselves . . “Mine is the nicest outfit.” Then for the rest of the day, they keep on talk­ ing about the outfits, and consoling themselves ... oh well, it’s good for business! Besides, it’s Easter * * * The passing of the snow reveals a multitude of sins, It shows up in our backyard, for instance, that each time a bucket of ashes was dumped, they were placed in a different location from the one before. It also shows, for instance, the tin cans that were fired helter-skelter from the / back woodshed door, when they were sup­ posed to have been stacked with the garbage in a neat pile. , Snow is such a handy thing to cov­ er up, but it reveals everything in a stark way when it melts away. Look out over the backyard and see the old pair of rubber boots, lugged around for playful romps by Suchausuch, the collie pup, and then left in the snow. It reveals, for instance, the old stew kettle filled with pig-feed that I set down beside the driving shed door one day in a snowstorm and forgot about it. It also calls to mind the pile of wood that should have been buzzed last Fall, A skiff of snow to cover it, and it was soon forgotten. Mrs. Phil looks out with baleful eye at that pile of wood, She remembers, I suppose, how many times she reminded me to Total ........ 31.82 The Party System Prominent in letters received is a statement which runs something like this: “The party system is no good. No member is free to criticize his own party. Until you are allowed to say what you feel, then what good is Parliament?” The accusation is not true.'Mem­ bers are free. Some may not accept their freedom. Others may not use it well. There are different ways of em­ ploying it. But in the time I have been in the House I have never felt the whip of party influence .and I have been in many things quite critical of my own party. Further, unless a. par­ ty leader tolerates criticism he will 'destroy his own party. It will be­ come fixed, 'dead, static. It will cease ■ to go forward — its members will ev­ en stop thinking. I can prove my case as far as I am personally concerned. It is practical­ ly certain that the 3% excise tax on imports from the U.S. will be abolish­ ed. It was suggested by certain mem­ bers that this be retained on automo­ biles so as to permit Canadian auto­ mobile manufacturers to charge the Canadian people higher prices for automobiles, I was opposed to the suggestion, which had quite a meas­ ure of support in my own party. There were two possible ways of do­ ing it; by going to Washington and seeking an amendment to the treaty, or by backdoor action in raising val­ ues for duty purposes. I opposed both. High tariffs raise prices, lower production, kill agriculture, create un­ employment, Here is an extract from last week’s "Saturday Night.” It ap­ peared in an article “National Af­ fairs”: • . "Even at that, it apparently failed to convince R. J. Deachman, free trade Liberal from North Huron, who can handle a statistical rapier in a duel as skillfully as any member of the House of Commons. Mr. Deachman this time forgot his statistics and thrust straight from the shoulder at Mr, Ilsley’s dictatorial powers which enabled him to upset a tariff level provided by international agreement. He challenged' the Government to go back to Washington and ask openly for a revision rather than -using a back-door method which required not even the sanction of a Canadian Par­ liament.” "The powers given to the Minister of National Revenue under the pres­ ent Customs Act have been question­ ed before and there is some justice in the case against ‘tariff tampering by ministerial • decree.” There is no .punishment inflicted upon me by my party at Ottawa be­ cause T' stand up for what I believe to be right. The same, of course, ap­ plies to others. The whole question is — what is right? Some men in my own party hold views which differ from my own views. They have the right to do so but a man is a traitor to himself and to his party if, holding certain views, he fails to express them or talks and votes against his convic­ tions. SAFETY AND THE ROYAL VISIT PRINTED GUMMED TAPE MADE BY pAPEfiPPOOUCTC, Styles for every business Various colors and designs Samples suggestions and prices without obligations AGENTS for COUNTER CHECK BOOKS The Advance-Times The forthcoming visit to Canada by Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth will be a triumph of modern safety engineering. From the moment they board the cruiser H.M.. S. “Repulse” in England until they ar­ rive home again nearly two months later, practically every present-day development in scientific accident pre­ vention will play an important part iy protecting the lives and health of the King and Queen. The ship which will bring them across the Atlantic will be as safe as human ingenuity can make it. Fat- out at sea, it will be met by convoys of the Canadian naval and air forces. Their function will be to escort the Royal cruiser safely through Canad­ ian waters to its dock at Quebec. When Their Majesties set foot on Canada's soil, history will be made. The arrival of King George VI will mark the first time that any reigning British monarch has visited his Can­ adian Dominion. At tlfat moment, ar­ rangements for.) the safety of his per­ son that experts have been months in planning will go into effect. Carefully-trained corps of police' will keep enthusiastics crowds of loy­ al subjects within bounds necessary for the smooth functioning of the of­ ficial and public reception of the King and Queen. Unprecedented problems of motor and other types of traffic will have been solved by engineers whose put pose was to ensure that the maximum number of people‘could en- -joy the Royal visit in comfort and safety, consistent.with equal comfort and safety for Their Majesties, The special (rain and automobiles in which King George and Queen Elizabeth will visit all parts of Can­ ada will be masterpieces of engineer* ing design, in beauty of line and safe­ ty of operation, Every known device whose purpose is the prevention of accidents will have been incorporat­ ed into the construction of these mod­ ern marvels of transportation. ’ Even more important from the standpoint of safety, will be the men who will pilot the train and drive the motor cars which will carry the Royal visitors, Unblemished safety records will be .the prime requisite for this ap­ pointment, for any mechanical or man ^failure in safely conducting Rpyal tour would be a stain on nation's honor. Every Canadian citizen can do share in ensuring that the visit of the King and Queen will not be marred by any untoward incidents. The prob­ lems of traffic movement which will arise at every point along the route pan only be solved if every motorist and every pedestrian makes a. deter­ mined effort to pratice safety and pre­ vent accidents. The successful application by Can­ adians of the recent ^suggestion made by Ontario’s minister of highways, Hon. T. B, McQuesten, calling for a drastic reduction in highway acci­ dents and fatalities, in the three months prior to and during the Royal visit, will be the most effective way in which the prayer of “safe journey” for the ICing and Queen in every loyal heart can be expressed, GLENANNAN Miss Dorothy Stewart of Wingham spent a few days last week with her aunt, Mrs. Richard Jeffray.
