General Sworn In On Friday ••••••••••••••••.•• Viscount Alexander of Tunis and Lady Alexander, Canada's new Vice- Regal couple, were installed comfort- ably Saturday in the spacious quarters of Rideau Hall at Ottawa, their home for the next five years. The new Governor-General was -sworn into office in the Senate cham- ber on Friday after a week-long jour- ney from Southampton, England, which ended in a riotous welcome in -the capital. The clang of carillon bells roar of :gun salutes and band music mingled with the cries of cheering Ottawans as the viceregal couple alighted from the train which had brought them iron. Halifax. A crack Governor-Gen- eral's Foot Guard unit waited' at the -station to be inspected and cabinet ministers, the diplomatic corps and high representoatives pf the armed -.forces and the church headed the -throng which turned out for the wel- -eome. Official 'Ceremonies of oath-taking -were impresSiVely simple. After a welcoming address by Prime Minister MacKenzie King, Viscount Alexander -made a brief speech in which he laud- •ed the Canadian forces which had ser- ved under him in the Mediterranean 'theatre and said he and his family -were "proud' and happy" to make their home in Canada. As tie spoke, Lady Alexander fol- lowed his speech carefully. Also in attendance were their children, Rose, 18, Shane, 10, and Brian, 6. • Spectators who crowded Parliament Hill were charmed by the handsome youthful couple as they emerged again into the bright sunshine, After leav- ing the Senate Chamber Viscount Alexander inspected an R.C.A.F. guard of honour before the family ,drove to their new abode at Government House. At Victoria CARDIFF RAPS BOOST IN IMPLEMENT PRICES "Farmers are always the last to get consideration and the first to be pen- alized", L. E. Cardiff, Progressive Con servative for Huron North, said Mon- day night in the House of Coffin-16ns protesting the 121/2 per cent increase in farm machinery prices announced •earlier by Finalice Minister Ilsley.' Joining in the day long debate which followed Mrs.ley's statement, Mr. 'Cardiff' said the Government's action would drive men from farms rather than attract them. "Prices of farm machinery have creased so much during the years that it should not be necessary to raise them any higher now", he said. "If farmers are to be asked to pay more now, they must be given better prices for their produce." Farmers had carried on short hand- tied through the trying war years, he .said, and many had• emerged with din- paired health. Average age of farm- ers in his county was 57, and tnany were 70 and older. Veterans were not being attracted to agriculture as a career, and the pro- posed increase would only serve as a further deterrent. Those with a grat- uity stake of $2,000 or so would soon- er invest in a wartime house and let their pay checks pay off the balance, although 75 per cent, of them would probably lost every dollar of their in- vestment. "Labor and industry are demanding snore money, but what good will more, money da, if the day comes when they won't be able to buy food, Europe has plenty of money but it can't buy food." Vacant farms were increasing hi number, he ',added, because returns Irani farming were no longer attract- ive. Men had left agriculture for war industry and.had not returned, and an increase hi farm Machinery prices Would do nothing to speed their re- turn. "It IS the duty of every member who tepreaerits farthing community to raise his voice in protest against this increase," Mr. Cardiff toneluded, TEESWATER PLAY Proceeds to Be Used By Firemen to Furnish Hospital Room The Wingham town hall was packed to capacity on Monday evening for the three act comedy "Beacon Hill Billy" presented 'by the Teeswater Dramatic Society.

The play was enthusiastically re- ceived, and all went. home satisfied that they had more than received their money's. worth of entertainment. Between acts musical numbers con- sisting of cornet solos, vocal solos and quartettes were also presented by the visitors from Teeswater, and which added to the evening's entertainment.
