URGES CANADA TO MAKE OWN CHANGE IN CONSTITUTION The rirdit -,'-•••'mada to make her .. t„..,,._..• own constitutional changes was raised on Monday in the House of Lords by Viscount Bennett as the House gave second reading . to the British North America. Bill, providing for readjust- ing of representation in the Canadian !House of Commons on a basis of poo- u l at ion. Lord Bennett said the legislation de- parted entirely from principles of rep- resentation existing at the time of Con- federation. He suggested. the British Government, at the earliest opportun- ity, should discuss With Canada the question of conferring upon the Do- minion by legislation power to deal with its own constitutional changes. Viscount Addison, Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs, said the bill a- rose from a provision in the Statute of Westminster that an amendment to the British North America Act providing for representation in the Canadian Parliarnen required the assent of the King and passage of legislation through the British Parliament. He agreed it was a matter within the discretion and judgment of the Ca- nadian Legislature, but the procedure being followed was the procedure re- quired under the statute. Messrs, Herb.

RED SHIELD CAMPAIGN IN SEPTEMBER The July report published Monday for the CANADIAN WAR SERVIC- es speaks of the excessive peace time demands being made on the facilities of The Salvation_Army,one of the four national participants in Auxiliary Ser- vices to the forces. The two great needs of today of the Salvation Army in. Canada are increased personel and expanded facilities, Both- can be dealt with only by the provision of more money through fund-raising cam- paigns. Lack of person-el in social and we!, fare work is made up by the employ-, ment of civilians who are not bound by the strict rules imposed on The ,Salvation Army Officer, There are in Canada nearly as many civilian ..em- ployees in this type of work for the Salvation Army as there are S. ,A: officers.

Si SMALL ACCOUNTS We have on our books many small accounts, ranging from 25c and up, which are long overdue. These are chiefly foe classified ads. Many of the weekly newspapers are now refusing these small ads, unless they are paid for before insertion. ,We hesitate to take this drastic action, as we realize that farmers and others living at distance telephone them in and in Most cases, call and pay for them at the first opportunity. We do ask, however, that those who have not done: so, help us clear these off our books, Sending out these small accounts by mail entails a considerable amount of time, work and added costs for post- age, 'etc. May we ask that all over* due accounts he paid. 1Single Copies Five Cents
