THE FATE OF CHARLES I
(Financial Post)
THERE HAVE BEEN many quips at the ex-
pense of Parliament since it -set a new
record for length and wordiness of debates.
The session just ending has been the longest
in history, and the deliberations have reached
'a new high record in the last couple of weeks.
While there has been a lot of mere gabbing
so MPs can hear themselves talk; the fact re-
mains, that there would be reason for surprise,
and perhaps alarm, if the session hadn't been
long and wordy.
We can't recall any previous session that
has had to deal with a threat of war, a prospect
of recession, and a cut in wheat prices. all at
the same time—and those are only three of the
serious and complex problems that fell upon
the shoulders of this House. '
It's to be hoped that the committee on pro-
cedure, which is to continue work next session,
will find some way of lightening Parliament's
load without infringing its rights.
But in the meantime, let's .not encourage
our members to shut up and go home when
there are serious problems in,hand.
That was Charles Is advice to the Long
Parliament, and look what happened to him.

We believe that as an out-of-

scenery lying between two eleva-
tions and that river valley scenes
fascinated him, We learn from
drawings and maps that he owned
several choice locations on the'
Maitland River:._
In 1855, the year following Mr.
Elkins survey he bought the orig-
inal farm now owned by W. Dodd.
The frontage of this farm extend-
ed from Loftus Street (the street
between the Canadian Bank of
Commerce and R. J. Phillips'
store) westward down to the riv-
er. We believe that Stout Mac
had high hopes of Manchester be-
coming a place worthy of the
name. He may have reasoned that
there was plenty of water power
here to supply considerable in-
dustry, that it was situated in a
good area and far enough away
from Goderich and Clinton to de-
velop into a large centre. He may
have 'reasoned that a railroad
would be built from Guelph to
Goderich along much the seine
route as Dunlop's party took in
1827. • (If he so thought, he was
correct but the railway didn't
come until 1907 when the CPP,
started to operate). We believe
he withheld having a survey of
the front part of his farm made,
trusting' that his hopes would be-
come true and that this portion
would make a line park overlook-
ing the Maitland. However, Man-
chester didn't grow as he had hop-
ed and in 1867 he sold his farm to
Robert Downs, grandfather of Ed-
gar Lawson, but he retained the
portion between the Gravel road
and Goderich Street. Even at this
time his hopes for a park must
have been quite strong because he
surveyed no streets eaSt or west
throughthis ten -acre section, but
divided it into lots one acre each.
