On Sunday, Feb. 21, Rev. Kenneth
Beaton occupied the pulpit of the
United Church. His address dealt
with the Home Mission Work. As
Assistant Secretary of Home Mis-
sions, he visited the Western Prov-
inces last summer and thus was able
toive considerable first hand nd in-
formation of conditions in Southern
Saskatchewan.
".i'olitics and tire Church" was the
subject of a very interesting discus-
sion led by Mrs. Jas. Ramage at the
weekly meeting of the Young Peo-
ple's Society of 'Calvin Church on
Sunday evening. The lesson was
read by Mrs, Lorne Durnin and. a
duet by Mrs. Stuart and Miss Helen
Miller and a piano solo by Mrs.
Stuart were pleasing additions to the
program. A growing attendance and
interest in the society indicates just
what can be done in a rural district
and also what yet remains to do.
BACON LITTER
COMPETITION
brood sows kept by farmers. It is
recognized that those brood sows
which are prolific and rear large lit-
ters of: select hogs, that are good
feeders, making good gains at low
cost, are. valuable; and are improvers
of the standard and quality Of our
commercial hogs.
Any bona -fide farmer may:make
entry in this coinpetition. The date
of farrowing Mist be between Feb.
14th and April 30th and entry must
be made within "seven days" after'
the elate of farrowing. In order to
qualify, there must: be at least nine
pigs in the litter, -raised fo marketing
age, and at least 30% of the litter
must grade as select bacon.
The prizes will be awarded on the
basis of weight, size, quality and uni-
forrnity of the litter. The method of
grading hogs, in the competition is
changed this year, Le., the official
weight and grading will be on the
basis of carcass weight aiid rail
grade; instead of live weight and
grading on foot.
The Federal Live Stock Branch
and the Ontario Provincial. Live
Stock Branch offer $275:00 in prize
mc•ney which is divided as follows:
1st $25, 2nd $24, 3rd $23, 4th $22,
5th $21, 6th $20, 7th $20, and eight
more prizes of $1.5:00 each.
In view of the substantial prizes of-
fered again this year, and, the fact
that there is no expense in connec-
tien with entering the competition,
along with the keen interest mani-
fested in last year's competition, we
are looking forward to, having a
goodly number of entries from Hur-
on County again this year.

cation forms apply to the Ontario

McKcrcher and Robt. Graham, at the
annual meeting in Gorrie on Friday
last. The former auditors, A. A.
Graham and J. H. Wylie were also
re -appointed.
The township hall was filled to the
doors, as usual, although there was a
different_ setting outside. It is not
customary to see fifty -motor cars
parked on Gorrie main street, the
community shed packed -to the door
with wheeled vehicles and no snow in
• sight in • the middle of February, but
1932 thus it was this year; and it is some-
thing that may never occur again.
Springlike weather prevailed out-
side and real harmony within the
meeting. Dave Sanderson's smiling
face and jovial personality was in the
main chair -and the faithful secretary,
W. S. McKercher, was seated along-
side hint" They are but two of the
Company's stalwarts. As the hall
was filling up, nominations took
place for the two vacancies an - the

Minto Township should have a dir-
ector on the Board, and, though not
elected, there is room for -approval
of that idea.
. That the Company was hard hit by
fire losses in 1931 was generally ad-
mitted by various speakers and the
warning note of more care and cau-
tionto all policy -holders to prevent
fires is a very timely one. It was the
biggest year for losses in the Com-
pany's history, but, according to
newspaper reports, the fire demon at-
tacked the majority of companies
strenuously this year. The local Co.
paid out $86,000 to policy -holders in
1931, though $31,000 of this was for
reinsured losses. This remarkable
feature of the year's damages was the
large number of animals struck by
lightning. The Company paid $1.50
more. per thousand insurance this last
year than any previous year, but with
ample reserves the directors are con-,
fident as to the future and maintain-
ing the former premium rates. Pres-
ident J. A. Bryans pointed out, how-
ever, that the insurance law would be
more strictly complied with in the
future, and that for policy 'renewals
two-thirds the value would be con-
sidered the Maximum for a policy,
Mr. Bryans also stressed the point
that. co-operation of policy -holders,
by exercising • more care, is the only
means of reducing the fire waste.—

ies to go slow and economize. Their
solicitude was the joke of the season.
They inay have been actuated by the
belief that when the municipalities
borrow too freely, the provincial cre-
dit is also impaired, but no matter
which way you turn you see evidence
of their own folly. The latest evi-
dence was when they floated the re-
cent loan, paying six per cent inter-
est. Spendthrift folly, and altogether
unnecessary, besides setting a high-
er rate of interest for private loans.
Simultaneously with the floating of
the provincial loan, my own town got
money for five per cent,

ways, speaking at Paris cin Dec, 2nd,
warned Brant County Council to cut
expenditures for 1932 because the
Gavernncent could net continue to
make such a contribution 111 the fu-
ture, I really thouglht we were in for
a reduction in license fees and gas
tax, but the opposite is the case, The
increased revenue for auto licenses
and proposed gas tax increase is no-
thing but a direct tax and should be
so labelled.
I'he Crying need today is tliore
equitable taxation, and nowhere is
that more patent than in the methods
used to obtain money in the name
of goods roads. The cities and sep-
atated townsbuild their own roads,
contribute to sub -areas, pay the us-
ual lieensc and gas tax, and because
they receive no aid they claim jus-
tice.
"The c(cttllty units pay the same
gas and license tax as the cities, and
in addition 20 per cunt. of the cost
of provincial highways. and 50 per
cent, of the cost elf County , roads all
(ceders of tete great centres of popu-
lation, besides building their owl lo-
cal roads, and they claitu the burden
is too great.
"It is a generally accepted fact that
those who use the roads and those
who benefit'shottid pay, but the ques-
tion is, are we paying on an equit-
able basis?
•"In 1930 the counties paid $4,590,-
000 in direct taxation for cotnity
roads, or 3 8-10 mills in total county
assessment. In 1930 $3,547,715 re..
presented the 20 per cent. repayment
to the province for provincial roads,
over $3,000,000 of which was paid by
the county units—or three mills of
total county assessment, a total of
6 8-10 for county and • provincial
roads, while Toronto paid $145,000
toward 'provincial roads,
Bearing Down

peatedly that the : various activities
of the Govermcnt do not entail re aihy

peated that in his addhess and chal-

the minister prepared to say this has
not been brought about by the prac-
tice of condemning fairly good school
buildings even going as far as
to threaten discontinuance of grants,
and then submitting elaborate plans
which must be accepted in order to
Participate in the building grants? A
needlessly expensive system has been
established for both the Government
and the municipalities,
"Municipalities do not control pro-
vincial roads, yet they have to pay.
"Because of Liquor Control Act

"The municipality pays 20 per cent

"Two years ago municipalities paid
thousands of dollars revising a regis-
try book .finder a bill brought down
by Mr. McBrien. Last year $500 was
ordered to be put in the county esti-
mates for agriculture office purposes.
Corn borer inspectors and weed in-
spectors must be paid.

that the Government is not respon-
suble for this huge drainage scheme
whose outlet is in the Treasury De-

"We have heard so much about hy-
dro that I hesitate to mention it, but
I reiterate the plea for a more sympa-
thetic - consideration of the position
many urban and rural municipalities
find themselves in because of the
high cost of electric energy. Rural
rates are based on cost of delivery at
their urban distributing point. What
we want is reduced horsepower cost
to urban municipalities and the rural
situation will adjust itself."

Britain shipped by way .,f the Pan-

The chief business of the Conlmer-

ment and British. manufacturers in
touch with -the commercial, industrial
,and financial development of the Do-
minion, and to promote trade be-
tween Canada and the -Mother Conn -
try. The duties of a 'Tracie Commis-
sioner - are many and varied. Mr.
Wiseman gave several humorous ex-
amples illustrative of tate wide scope
of knowledge one is supposed to
possess, Very often, he said, a pre-
ponderance. of office work prevented
his giving as much time to travel as
was desirable. It is his duty to re-
port any changes of regulations made

Mediate delivery, Perhaps; that course

It has been said that British nianu-
fiteturers are slow to establish branch
factories in Canada. While it is a
very simple matter for an American
manufacturer in, say, Detroit or Buf-
falo to establish a'branch factory in
Windsor or Fort Erie, and to go
back and forth across the river keen-
ing in touch with both establish=
cncnts, it is an entirely different pro-
position -for the British manufactur-
er who is three thousand miles away.
Then, too, he deems that it is wiser
to give employment to those in his
own country, and that it is to Can-
ada's best interests to make use of
her already established concerns.
At the present time, a bill is being
read in the British House of Coin -
mons, by which, when it becomes
law, Britain will adopt a'protect'ive
policy, and will no longer be the
great exponent of Free Trade. By
it, a ten per cent duty will be impose
ed upon all imports. This will not
affect Empire -made goods Until No-
vember, however; thus giving to Bri-
tish representatives to the Imperial
Economic Conference to be held in
Ottawa in July a freer hand. We
hope and believe that this Confcren
ee, at which leading statesmen of
Britain and her colonies will be pre-
sent, will bring the various parts of
the Empire into closer trade relation-
ship with one another.
In the absence of Dr. Redmond,
Mr, A. L. Posliff presided over the
meeting. At the close of Mr. Wise -
roan's address, Mr. Jack Reavie sang
"When the Moon Comes over the
Mountains," and as an encore "When
the Organ played at Twilight." Mr.'
Posliff, speaking for the audience, ex- I
pressed to Mr. -Wiseman, Mr. Reav-1
ie and Mrs. Hanna, their thanks for 1
a very pleasant evening. On behalf
of the Chamber of Commerce,. Mr.
\''V. 1', Booth voiced the appreciation
of the invitation extended to them
by the Canadian Club.
A wealthy society lady had just
..ngaged a new maid, and was in-
structing her in the duties on wait-
ing on the table.
"At dinner, Mary,'' she explained.
you must remember always to serve
from the left and take the plates
from the right. Is that clear?"
"Yes, ma'am," answered the girl,
condescendingly. "What's the mat-
ter, superstitious or something?"
