The Cheerier Royal Commission on 'Transport has recommended to the Ontario Government the adoption of a pay-as-you-go policy in highway expenditure to eliminate in 40 years the province's estimated highway debt of $212,691,010, or one-third of the funded or unfunded debt of Ontario. In a section of its report given over to Government financing of highway building since 1903, and .especially since intensive construction was started in 1919; the commission .made numerousproposals designed to reduce the debt on highways. Among these suggestions were a .reclassification of taxes on. motor vehicles and an inorease in the tax .on gasoline fromsix to nine cents a ;gallon. Other fuel oils used as fuel by motor vehicles would be taxed 18 cents a gallon. Following are highlights of recon rnendatiam made in the report; Establishment of a three -roan tran- apart board with authority to deal with highway transport problems. ; Maximum hours and minimum Wages for employees of highway transport operators, i Commercial motor vehicle operat- ars would be required to submit an- nual audited statistical reports to the transport board. Increase in the gasoline tax from six to nine cent a gallon. Increase in motor license fees. Adoption by the Government of a ,pay-as-you-go policy in highway con- steection with a view of paying .off an estimated highway debt of $212,- 691,010 since 1918 in 40 years :Reclassification of motor transport -vehicles. • Establishment' of tariff rates by transport operators themselves, with the transport board passing on the 'rates.

J. Husband and submitted •ata meeting' pf the Collegiate Board on', evening, In the matter of necomodation the school is graded No. 1 in every par- ticular but one, that of ventilation. In order to bring the ventilation up to No. 1 a mechanical force draft system would require to be installed. 'Equip- ment is reported as commensurate with the needs of the school. in reporting on the general organ- ization, of the school. Mr, Husband summed"' up thus: "The Principal has distributed the .duties as far as ,pos- sible according to the qualifications and preferences of his staff. He has prepared a good time table in Which provision has been made for teaching all the subjects of grades IX and: X, with the exceptionof the commercial work. Provision is also made for teaching the usual subjects of the middle andupper school. The allot- ment llottrent of time to the various studies, had been made with great care pro- viding for a desirable frequency of lesson." The Inspector reported favorably on the general proficiency and character of the work being done. The read- ing of the pupils in grade IX ranges from fair to excellent. The spelling and writing of most of the pupils, in this class is fairly good. The written work of the pupils is done carefully and shows the value of supervision and direction. The'classes in Physical Education are well organized -end do- ing good work. The Inspector's general remarks re- flected much credit on the work being done. He reported as follows: "The general tone of the wheel is good and the attitude of the pupils towards their work is commendable. It is not surprising', therefore,,te find that the examination results achieved last year were, foi nost part, excellent and quite in keeping with the fine traditions of this school. Reasonable attention, too, is being given to the various activities that are, in a meas- ure, by-products of the regular work of the classroom. The value of these activities ik shown in the development, more or less unconsciously, of an un- derstanding of the importance of co- operation, as well as in a fostering of a feeling of pride and interest in every phase of the life and work of the school. All the classes appear to be mak- ing satisfactory progress in their studies, 'and, the courses, particularly in the senior grades, should be com- pleted early enough in the spring terra to permit the teachers to snake a thorough review of them with their classes. The members of the staff merit conuneudation for the faithful- ness with which, they are performing their regular duties and also for the interest they are taking in other ac- tivities which appeal to the pupils. I was pleased to find that excellent provision has been for teaching Shop Work and Home Economics and also that instruction is given in music. The school is now in a position to derive the full benefit from the new courses of study."

Those who attended the meeting• of plowmen of the Narth and South Huron Plowmen's 'Associations and others who met to disetist the pos- sibility of Huron selected as the next probable site for the International Plowing Match, received an enlight, ing address covering the magnitude' and scope of such a venture from the secretary and manager oftheinter- national plowing matches, Mr. A. 'J. Carroll. The meeting was held in the Agricultural Rooms on Saturday af- ternoon. Warden Wilmot I-Iaack& was select- ed as chairman and introduced the speaker. In his acldress Mr. Carroll first gave an outline of the increas- ing interest in plowing matches. From 1905 to 1910 interest had dwindled almost to the vanishing point and for a number of years no matches were held: In 1912 interest was againre- vived and has steadily increased One oil ,the outstanding factors in this regard was the interest being taken in junior farmer organizations and the education of farmers to the im- portance of good farming. A feature of the plowing matches which makes the events educational is the exhibits of the most modern typesof farm machinery and farm and home con- veniences. Outlining some. of the details neces- saryt o make these projects' a success he said there must first be keen in- terest to assure that all detail work is carefully attended to. A county gaant of approximately $2,000 should be assured. At least 5000 acres of land will be needed, allowing for atiito- mobile parking space, for exhibits, concessions, etc., An adequate supply of pure water must be available. Us- ually 150 teams are required and committees must be appointed for each department of the work, banquet, reception, teams, accomodation, pub- licity, lunch and other matters. These various points were gone into in de- tail and the speaker responded to question; asked by several members of the audience. The chairman called on a numbet of those present to Speak. Several reeves of surrounding townships and Mayor G. H. Elliott and Reeve N W. Trewautha and the officers of thei North and South Huron Plowmen's Association responded.

SIX REASONS FOR UNEMPLOYMENT Ewer since unemployment has be - mile a major problem in the world— for it is a problem, not only in Can- ada but in the United States, Britain and many other countries—mankind has been asking why there should be men out of work. In an effort to answer this query, Roger Babson gives six reasons' why there is unemployment. He has be- come somewhat of, anexpert in econ- omic affairs, and possibly many peo- ple will agree that the six reasons he advances, "hit the nail on the head",. He 'says three of the' nine million people out of work in the United States are in this position be- causei (1) Women are employed in industry while men recline to take their place in the hone; (2) Because the demands of labor unions are forc- ing empaoyees to instal ,labor-saving machinery and thus thrown many men out of work; (3) Because foreign trade is lost due to nationalistic pol- icies so prevalent itt many countries; (4) Because high school education creates the desire for easy jobs and an easy life without struggle and sac- rifiee; (5) Because of foolish legisla- tion which seeks to fix wages, ,prices and hours of work; (6) Because of the constantly widening breach be- tween the birth-rate of the employing and the wage-earning classes. It will be noted, of course, that these reasons coves' only one-third of the people unemployed. The other two-thirds are victims of our econ- omic and financial system whereby men are out of work although the needs of the peope are far from satis- field. Take, for example, the sale of autonmobiles. In the boon year of 1929 over 200,000 passenger can's were pro- duced in Canada, the industry em- ployed nearly 17,000. people and paid nearly $30,000,000 in salaries anci wages. It then dropped to about 50,- 000 cars in 1932, and the payroll was down by two-thirds. By 1937, pro- duction was up to 153,000 cars, -with nearly 15,000 people employed and earning over $22,000,000. This year, because there was a"recession, Sales were down 17 per cent. With such a fluctuation in 'purchas- ing powor, it is no, wonder that in some years there is lots' ,of 'Worrk. and in other y -ears men 'cannot get a. job.-ix'enover 'Poet.
