Thursday afternoon, C. A. Robert-

wasmade last year and we were in-
clined to listen in the belief that the
Government really was seized with
the gravity of the situation," he said.
"Bet what do we fined? The same
reckless disregard of the people's
]honey, their rights and opinions."
Salaries of civil servants had bee
reduced only "to be handed to th
moneyed interests of Toronto and t
other financial institutions" in th
prcvineial loan, continued Mr. Rob

Firemen Have Long Run
About 8.30 on Friday morning the
firemen were called to the residence
of Wim Ingham, on Carling Terrace,
]Fortunately the blaze was -confined
to the chimney, but for a time it
looked as though it might have been
burning in the wall from the amount
of smoke which was belching out. It
was not necessary, to connect the
hose.
Tough on Commissioners -
1ly- the decision of the town council
members of the Kincardine P. U. C,
who drew salaries in 1930 and 1931
will have to return them to the'local
I': 0, C. treasurer, as the salaries
n were drawn illebally. The necessary
bylaw before the 'salaries :could be
0 drawn was never. passed. A motion
of Coisncillors Graham and Watson
.at the Friday night meeting of the
council was passed, reading, "that it
s is Necessary to.have a bylaw passed
n. by the council empowering the light
aria water commission to take pay
t fur services, such a by-law was not
passed.' We recommend 1'f' through
ignorance of the law or otherwise,
they may have taken pay that they
return sante to water and light treas-
urer and same be sent to Hydro."

muchappreciated by a record attend
ance,
Mr. Isaac Wright gave 'a very in
teresting report of the "Agricultura
Meeting" called by `the Ton. T. L
Kennedy, which was held in Toron-
to on Feb. 4th. Mr. H. L. Atkinson,
assistant Agricultural representative,
for Huron County, gave an address
based on the, subject "The advisabil-
ity and advantages of growing alf-
alfa". This eventually took the form
of a discussion which proved very
int cresting and instructive,
Mr. Arthur Wilson, Manager of
the Wingham Branch of the United
Farmers Co -Operative Co., gave a
good report of the branch for the
year 1931. Mr, Wilson pointed out
that in 1928 his branch did almost
one half a million dollars turnover
but in 1981 they did only one quarter
million unit according to unit thus
reducing the buying power of the
farmer's dollar.
The ladies then made themselves
known and appreciated by serving a
very delightful lunch. After lunch
the chairman called on R. J. Scott,
President of the United Farmers of
Ontario. Mr. Scott game a short and
interesting talk. The farmers can al-
ways depend on hearing something
good from Mr. Scott.
The meeting closed with the sing-
ing of the National Anthers. -

TRADE RELATIONS
" ARE DISCUSSED
On Friday evening, Febrtlar - the
e
nineteenth, the members of the Cana-
dian Club and their guests, including
the local Chamber of Commerce, lis-
tclled to a very illteresting,r' and in-
structive address by Mr. A. N. Wise-
man, His : Majesty's Trade Commis-
sioner in Canada.
In.'discussing Canada's trade rele
tions with the Mother Country, Mr.
Wiseman gave to his subject some-
thing of an historical background. by
his reference to an early effort to es-
tablish what would be known now as
a Commercial Intelligence Depart -
hent in Canada by Great . Britain.
These first attempts date back nearly
three hundred years to the ;founding
of the Hudson's liay Company and
ether similar companies organized
for the purpose of trading with the
Indians in the new country, Also,
it was interesting to hear of one
Jaines Hackett, who lived during the
seventeenth century, and who, from
what history tells us, must have been
possessed of the instincts of'thepres-
ent day trade commissioner. In art
amusing old document -a letter of
his to Constantinopole-*-we find hire
inquiring about certain dyes made
there, and also recommending Eng-
ish woollen goods as being superior
a any others, "would take dye well,, -
and were not affected by moths."
Coming down to modern times; the
peaker stated that it was in. 1911 the
irst British Trade Commission Of -
ice was opened in Canada. At that
line, there was only one office and
ne Commissioner. After the war,
owever, this department was enlara-
d, and in 1923, after the opening of
he Panama Canal, it. was again re-
rganizcd. At the present time,
here are four offices and five com-
ntissioners, The Commissioner who -
stationed at Montreal, and his as-
Stant are responsible for the supp er
sion of the entire Diminioil, in
to their duties in the Province
Quebec, in the Maritimes, and in
ewfoundiand, Mr. Wiseman is in
arge of the Toronto office, and he. -
olcs after the Province of Ontario
