Water highway, tlt•ree miles, the children at- tend the rural ,publi'cselfooi which is only forty rods foam fhe Masse 'farm, They ,speak excellent English. One of the older girls works in ,Stratford. The ,older son and .daughter are married. The remitining sixteen are at Ironic. They handle 380 acre's, 1150 acres of it 'in pasture, most of the remainder in grain, beans and vegetables. - "Last year I sold 500 bushels of beast's," said James, "It was 715 cents a bushel then." Of course, it is desperate going, with farm produlce so low. But they eat without question. They are well clothed. They are healthy and happy. There is no money foe a radio, or for gasoline to gad about to towns and villages. They are eetirely indifferent to the Millar will or any other prize for large families, They are happy to la:bor on the good earth. They pray to God .only to give ,Hint thanks. 'Isere is a family that knows nothing of the newer problems. All their pr'o- blem's are old, old as than. Their needs make them free, 0'f self-expres- sion, of adolescent behaviior, of all the tdisms" and "ologies" of modern life, they have not even heard and would not understand if they did, What about the community, of social rela- tions? They are a community them- selves, London is 217 miles away, -Zur- ich is where they buy their cloth and their flour and boots, Two farms north is a radio. The alder boys are wel- come there. They walk, Or they drive the horse, And as I looked at theta. all. and thought of the sad world, all going to the dogs, according to the scientists and sociologists, with nobody but neurotics left to inhabit its duck mill- ed cellars and all its songs forgotten, I chuckled, Because the family of Masse Inas been here a long, long time, ceramics and .centuries, and by the look of Henn they are destined to be here a long time yet, and no neurosis. For what concerns them, after all, is Ask the use of the earth. God, en effet, Owns it. • THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE An af•ta'ck on mass buying by de- eartment stores and radio factories was made in the Legislature by .r. 3,. McArthur, Conservative member for Northumberland in speaking on the Speech from the Throne debate, .-and in which it was charged this condi- tion of affairs brought about the Stratford strike, necessitating calling out troops. Mass buying, he asserted, had reduced employes in Stratford nctories to the position of "Egyptian "i`Islaves," and while not quarrelling with capitalism, effonts of the big buyers were forcing workingmen into the dust,. Mr, 1fdArthur expressed the op- inion that the Stevens commission at Ottawa is one of the greatest forward steps to remove the present situation existing over nt'ass-buying. This re- sponsibility rests on the Conservative party, and he felt the party's should- ers are broad enough, their courage high enough, to stand up under th•e load and to see to it that all classes get a fair 'acid square deal. Il'e also asked a fair price for the tomato growers ,urging that the can- ners go into conufeeence ' with the growers in order to arrive at some equitable arrangement. Unless this is done he said he intended asking for an investigation into the canning in- dustry. "Farmers are not complaining of their interest rates," declared Mr, Mc- Arthttr, "as some would have us be- lieve, Farmers are not asking for pre- ferences or charity, All they want is a fair price for their commodities. If they get a fair price they will be able do pay taxes ancl.in•terest rates. Gov- ernments have gone to a great deal of trouble to find markets but of what use are markets if they bring pt-olfts to the middleman and not to the producer? I want to see the mar- iners get the benefit of these mar- kets." The Agricultural Co'mniittee of the ILegis'1'ature met a large deputation representing the Vegetable Growers' Council who discussed various phases of their proposal for compttlsory reg- istration of all fruit and vegetable growers and also a licensing fee, The fee stigges'ted was $II to $3 depending on the amount of land being used, the. funds to go to the council to directly aid marketing.. A subeconttnittee was appointed which will later meet the !Growers' Council to determine what policy shall he followed and a report will be trade back to the main com- mittee. .:1 measure seeking to have divorce actions heard et the residence of the litigants, sponsored by W. E. N. Sin- clair, Liberal, South Ontario, was left In the order paper, pendinga report on this and other issues such as. -col- luenolt, perjury, etc„ arising in div- orce actions, is received by Attorney - General W. H, Price from judges of the Supreme Court, Under present c•utditious, many actions are taken into other municipalities rather than having theta heard at'the place of re- sidence of the litigants. While speaking on the debate on the Speech from the Throne, Mr, Sinclair reiterated his stand taken in '1933 when he offered assistance and co'operation•to those who are trying to help the people., Mr. Sinclair said he had been charged by his Liberal colleagues with political heresy in view of this attitude, but he insisted that no public man could refrain from helping in aiding recovery to normal 'conditions. "If I was misjudged, my conscience is clear," he said, "If I erred it was because of my judgment. When the ship is in danger the tradition of the sailor calls for the safety of the pas- sengers first." 11fr, Sinclair strongly supported the inter -provincial conference recently held under direction of Premier Ben- nett of Ottawa, and including 'Prem- ier Henry, declaring that results from this parley would mean the solvency of Canada being guaranteed by en- suring the solvency of the provinces. Tie urged the various provincial gov- ernments of different political beliefs each assist the other in fighting a way out from financial difficulties and pre- sent conditions, The report of the Liquor Control Board for the year that closed Oct. 3'1 last tabled by Attorney -General W. H. Price, which showed a decrease in both sales and proxies, the figures :being 0 new low in the history of the board. Sales totalled $30,1.43,121417 in- cluding those from the liquor stores and brewery ware'ho'uses, while. the t •rolfit to the board amounted to $5,- 4234621. The legal bills committee of the leg- islature, presided over by Hon. Char- les'McCrea, Minister of Mines, heard the charge• evade by 'Magistrate 'M'c- Caughrin of Omillia as to alleged. "Trafficking "in ofiifices," in connec- tion with the government move to provide a compassionate $2,0010' al- lowance to the magistrate. Hon. ,Leo- pold Macaulay, Minister of Highways, acting as government cou•uisel, exam- ined several witnesses, including I. A. Humphries, I' .C,, acting deputy -attar nay -general, who diclosed that there are many precedent --cases that arose as far back as 11896 during Liberal governments where civil ,servants oc- cupying .such positions as sheriff, crown attorney, clerk of the peace, etc„ had been given such allowances by his' successor to office. A sub- committee comprising IPon. Mr. Mc- Crea, Hon, c-Crea,-IIIon, Mr, Macaulay, Dr. G, A. Yf'cQuibban, Liberal4Opposition Lea- der, and H. C. Nixon, progressive leader, was appointed ,to draw a re- port on the evidence, which will be dealt with by the Legal Bills commit- tee and a report made to tate Hous , Hon, Dr, J. M, Ro;bb, Minister of Health, in ,speaking to his bill provid- ing for establishment of a radium in- stitute hi the city of London, gave many enlightening facts as to the a urk being done in the clinics in To- ronto, and Kingston in the govern- ment's assistance in fighting cancer. Toronto, he said, at the 'General Flos- pital, has an institute unsurpassed in the world as to equipment, but he -tressed the importance of early diag- [:osis and treatment in all cases. Ree eently the government has arranged for four grammes of radiode known as a "bomb" to be used at the To- ronto General Hospital, "The whole secret of cancer treat- ment is early diagnosis and treat- ment," said Dr. Robb. 'We have found that from the time a person notices the first symptoms, usually six months elapse before he or she sees a doctor, and usually another six months elapse before the first treat- ment is given, The public is being aroused as to the vital 'necessity of early treatment. Our records show that people are conning earlier for treatment than \vas previously the case." Attorney -,General W. H. Price, in speaking to second reading to Isis amendment to the Juvenile Court bill, which covers family courts instead of just juvenile courts, declared these courts are of tremendous benefit to the family, the child and municipality. Raising of the juvenile age from 16 to 18 years has been urged, Col. Price !stated, which he said is something for future consideration, F, G. McBrien, ,(Cons„ Brockton) in supporting the measure, expressed the hope that the custody of infant children would also be brought under the jurisdiction of the court.

Hewas the tnlost heroic figure of the !Great War. Of alt the rulers of the world during the four years of war Xing Albert stands out most--prmninently, His courage, iris patriotism, his sa.iri$ee and Isis kindliness [tion the ariniirateee of the allies, A lean of immense stature, stately, dignified, courtly, he was a kingly figure. The effort made by Belgium at the outbreak of the war, under the gallant Ring Albert, hope- less though it was, stayed the 'Ger- man tide flowing into Franec long enough to allow the (French and Brit- ish armies to reach the front. King: Albert and his army 'without . any question saved Paris in the early crucial days off the war. For nearly .four years Xing Albert was a king without a country. He remained in Flanders with the remnant of his army until the collapse of Germany. At times he shared the trenches and led his men personally. King Albert's passion was the 'hap- piness of his people and the good name of his country. One of his first actions when. he became king was to wipe out the blot of Belgian Congo from the record of the country; He will go down in hist':ry as the syntb•.,1 of ail that is best in a king ?Zany names of the clays of war now great may fade into in.ignificance as t ne passes, but the name of King Albert is certain to shine out in history. The late monarch was 58 years old, and his son, Crown 'Prince Leopold, who will become king in his stead, is 32. A piece of frostbitten rock, crumb- ling in the .strong fingers of the royal hated, cost 'Belgium her ruler and the world an enlightened mon- arch in an accident which climaxed what the king had planned as a simple Saturday afternoon of sport. Death tame some time in the late hours of Saturday, but it was 112 hours later before his death was generally known. He lay in a deep ravine near the vilage of Namur, 212 miles south of :Brussels, the' Belgian capital, with his skull fractured. Alone, he had tried to climb e 200 foot cliff. The project- ing knob of a stone broke off in Ins hand and the king plunged 36 feet to death, He passed away on the eve of the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne, which he occupied through the most terrible days his country has ever known. The Crown Prince Leopold, was away in Sw'itzerland.. on a, vacation with hi srnyal consort, Princess Ast- rid, at the time of the accident. He returned as quickly as possible to be proclaimed king. SLAYS 'BROTHER AND SIS- TER, THEN 'SUI+CI'DES Joseph 'Philp, aged about 60, shot and killed his brother Herbert, age 55, and his sister, Miss 'Florence, age 58, at their farm home at Sparta, about ten miles southeast of St. 'Thomas, 'Saturday afternoon. The slayer, lying in wait for his wife and son 'Donald, intent upon wiping out the entire -family, killed himself as neighbors and police surrounded his home. Mrs, Philp and Donald, aged 21, escaped .when Donald slammed a door shut while his mother escaped through a window. The son followed and ehey drove away to summon police. The slayer, believed to have been crazed by loss occasioned by recent fires that' had destroyed his buildings, also made ant attempt on the life of a provincial constable who 'answered the call, 'but ;failed to shoot instantly, permitting the officer to get out of sight,. According to the police reconstruc- tion of the crime Philp had broken the lock from the garage door, where the 'firearms 'had been kept under lock and key because of his 'foraner strange actions. He had 'secured the shotgun, a 4-10 'bore repeater, 110.40 small bore weapeag and rettirned to the house. Entering a, side door he apparetutly'methis sister, and when she ran, 'shot her, About an hour later, we'hn his brother Herbert cense_ in the crazed enact shot shin, !After frightening off the polite when they attempted to eater - the hou=e, he shot himself.
