The Huron Expositor, 1930-05-30, Page 1a Seventy -First Year I. Whole Number 3259' ,Y 30, 1930. FROM THE- DOMINION CAPITAL Thi Canadian parliament is wind- ing up its session and is also being wound up itself. Elected four years agce next 'September it is now being dissolved, which means that a new house must be elected. This year's gathering of parliament has been an unusual one), under unusual circum- stances. There was never much doubt from the start that it would end up in an election, but as has been point- ed out in this oorresponde'nce, such doubt as there was has been removed by the formal announcement. The sit- uation is peculiar in that the contest comes on by agreement. Ordinarily the government chooses its own time and place and weapons. This year its opponents issued a mild challenge to go to the mat, +e bluff has been called promptly d naw the fight is It is not clear just what is the Coni servative policy. It is true that both the ,Liberal patty and the Conser- vative party in Canada have formal platforms, but in the case of the Lib- erals this was adopted in 1919, and in the ease of the Conservatives, in 1927. National conven'tionel do not precede every election. Rather, with tame exception, they have been held only when it became necessary to select a new leader owing to a ;vac- ancy in the position. Consequently neither the pious platitudes of the. Liiberals in Ottawa in 1919, nor of the -Conservatives in Winnipeg three years ago are calculated to cut any figure in the election at this time. Conservatives Merely Critical. Judged by its parliamentary per- formance, the Conservative policy is one of rather bitter criticism of the Liberals without suggesting any alter- native, but then an opposition is not called upon to do so really unless it is entrusted with the responsibility of forming a government. On the other hand, the main card to be played by the Liberal party is its new 'budge't, putting up the tariff in certain directions and lowering it in others, but the government, as weal, will appeal to the country on the record of its administrations, which has been' accomplished without much fireworks. The transfer of natural re- sources from the Dominion to provin- cial administration is one notable ex- ample. Government after government for More than twenty years has promised to make this settlement with the western provinces. On some occasions there have been) valid rea- sons for the failure of Dominion and provincial authorities to arrive at an agreem'en't. �.,.. It has remained for the 'Macaeneie King administration, led by one of the tlubless't exponents of conciliation in the science of governments, finally to effect this important settlement. It is • considered to be a great achie'vemen't to have brought the re- lations between the Dominion and provinces of Canada to such a satis- factory basis. Along with the trans • fer of the natural resources to the Prairie Provinces and British Col- umbia, the claims of the Maritime Provinces have been so desalt with that practically every recommenda- tion of the royal commission under the chairmanship of Sir Amdrey Dun- can has been carried out. At the same time, long-standing differences between . the Dominion and the province's of Ontario and Quebec, particularly relating to power rights on navigable streams, have teen adjusted. This tremendous task of the readjustment of relations ha been carried through without any- thing in the nature of fireworks or serious friction between the Dominion and any of the provinces. ernmenit's policy, in the months im- mediately ahead, is freer trade be- tween the nations under the British flag. An Imperial Economic Conference is to be held in London next October to lay the foundation for some great new steps forward in this trade policy of world Wide extent. It is the repre- sentation at this conference and what party will be entrusted with it that is an .outstanding issue in the coming eleotien. One should say it will be the outstanding "public" issue. Un- fortunately, however, in Canadian politics there is all too much of a tendency to exeloit sectional griev • ances and to arouse, where they can be aroused, racial and religious pre- judices. Thus it is that the Ku Klux Klan is 'operating in Saskatchewan and pants of Alberta not in open al- liance with the Conservatives, but against the Liberals, which really amounts"to the same thing. The cam- paign soon to get under way prem- ises to be a warmly oontested battle in every one of the 245 electoral dis- tricts which comprise the parliament of Canada. Professedly at least, bothh sides go into the contest confident of victory, but a generous allowance must be made for the wish having a close re- l'a'tionship to the thought in many cases. Nevertheless, while it is pos- s'i'ble to figure out an almost even break with the assured return of a number cif Independents and non- descripts, the .conservative party will have a laborious enterprise in holding intact 90 seats, and carrying as well 40 'others, which it does not now have, lout which will be essential to the very minimum of a working majority. W. M. S. CONVENTION W. M. S. CONVENTION ON LIQUOR QUESTION BTANDD BOTHER Mrs. A. E. Horton, St. Thomas, Secretary of Temperance, spoke of the work as new but said that all Presbyterials have temperance secre- taries and rn �ttrly every auxiliary has a tempera :;Secretary and organiz- ed work is be g done. Now that the church program was pretty well de- termined they were prepared to fol- low that program, she said. She spoke of the startling results of last election. .Ontario was drinking her- self into slavery. The large amount of liquor would not be manufactured unless there were new recruits among the users, and statistics of a year ago showed that 40,000 new recruits were permit holders, boys and girls of our fair Ontario homes. How can we bring about a change? Every change begins with thought. We can all de- velop a new way of thinking by be- gining with ourselves. Let us pledge ourselves to• do •our best to bring about the downfall of what will re- sult in ruin and degradation to our land. Have Achieved Something. Public opinion in this country is happily becoming more and more a- verse to any tendency by political partisans to foment discord between the provinces or to bmng provincial rights into conflict with the authority of the Dominion. No effort has been made by the government to make political capital out of this remark- able success of the policy of concilia- tion with the provinces. When the government's record is under consideration, however, it can be cited legitimately as an example of statesmanship in the government of this country. 'Liberals claim other substantial achievements since the last general election. This session's legislation to relieve Canada of com- plicity in the border liquor warfare is a large achievement. Resolution on Temperance. The report of the resolution com- mittee was presented by Mrs. W. R. McIntosh, of London. The resolution on Te'mrperance was as follows: "Wlhereas, we recognize that the liquor traffic is one of the great evils of the land and the promised better- ment of conditions under Government Control in our Province has been most disappointing, we, the W.M.S. of the London Conference Branch, do place ourselves on record as favoring a olicy of total prohibition of the liquor raffle, and with renewed earnestness we give ourselves to the task of 'bring- ing about true pro'h'ibition sentiment. "That 'we protest against the liquor being used by ally political party as an issue in en election, and would re comnl'end that the matter be decided by a referendum of the people. "That the Department of Education he asked to adopt authorization of a series of text books on alcohol and its evil effects as a beverage, and that the use of such text books be made compulsory in. all public, separate and high schools of the Province, and be one of the subjects upon which pupils must pass examinations. "That a course in this subject be arranged in each Normal School and in the College of Education. "We desire to express to the Pro- hibition union our appreciation of the splendid educational work being done by their wide distribution of literature with which they are determined to ' sow the. province knee-deep." "We desire also to express to the Federal Government our cordial grat- itude that at last with such decisive unanimity it has taken steps to wipe out the disgrace of bootlegging oper- ations at the Canadian border and at the same time to promote internation- al good -will by co -'operating with the authorities in the American Republic in the enforcement of their prohibi- tion laws." The resolution on "Peace and Dis- armament" endorsed movements to promote international good 'will and recommended that at least the presi- dent of every auxiliary and Y. W. A. be a member of the League of Na- tions Society in 'Canada, in order that she may 'be furnished with first hand information necessary to giving com- petent leadership. It was also re- commenced that in our schools the pictures that glorify war be replaced with pictures that glorify peace; that pictures of war heroes in uniform be replaced With pictures of men who hay's wrought great things for peace. A• resolution on unemployment sup- ported the appeal made by Mr. Frank Beer at the Canadian Conference- oe Soda' work held recently in Toronto for the establishment of a national inst%ttiit7e tof eoonpmies and social re- search to be charged with the task of studying the problems of unem.ploy- m'ent, While orf the one hand, the Pensions Out of Politics. Legislattion to improve the adminis- tration of the pensions act has beer. kept out of the arena of party poli- tics, although some critics on the opposition side were inclined. to play politics with the question. The gov- ernment has shown commendable steadiness in going ahead with the necessary legielati'an', largely along the lines of intelligent co-operation with organized ex-seri/Lice men Wherever opgaeition members have put forward constructive 'proposals, they have been received in the right spirit of conciliation. Both' aide's of the house will receive due credit for refraining from playing polities with ex -soldier legislation. At the same time, the responsibility has been up - Mt the government for carrying through the legislation. It is an im- portant item in the gotvernmemtt's record of service during the parlia- ment, Not Opposing Budget. • On the i•ssme ref the bud'g'et, the op- position is taking the position that the government canna be trusted to carry out the policy '*'hi& it has an- nounced.

CHATS ON EDUCATION (At the Principal's Desk) A Scotch friend of mine a few years ago married a very vivacious and attractive young lady who was fond of good times and good clothes. Wlhen, her husband suggested, as a Scotchman could hardly help suggest- ing, that they ought to try be save some of their income, she asked: "Save? What for? T will save when I have something to save for, but I am not going to save for moth Ing." The logic was hardly comprehens- ible to a Scotchman yet the logic id very human and after all 'what is really human is normal. The blind impulse to save without any purpose but saving is •what makes the miser, one of the most miserable ani piti- able of human ;beings. The human mind when asked to master any subject asks, "What for?" The more directly that subject is re- lated to the wants of life the mere eagerly Will the mind engage it, the more readily master it, and the great- er the vigor and 'power the mind will develop in the task. It does♦ make a difference how things are taught. How little four- year-old Billy will struggle to mas• ter a few letters in order that be may write a labored note to his daddy way from home! I{ow difference in interest is this experience from the experience in school when he may be set to copy somle•one else's letter to nobody he knows anything about in order to learn to write. In the one case learning to write is the means to the much desired end of expressing l•••imself to someone, he loves. In the other case, the learning is the end, an end that in itself does not appeal. President Glenn Frank, of Wiscon- sin University, recently wrote: "We are begriming to rediscover that our ancient ancestors knew very well, namely, that the major part of a man's education comes from living in society rather than from learning in school. This would suggest to us that we Should Marrow the chasm which yawns between the life of the school and the school of life." Each normal child desires to be useful, and to live with people. As boys and girls approach adolescence this desire to be useful in a way that will enable them to earn a living and take a respected place in the com- munity becomes stronger. But this desire needs to be fed with informa- tion about occupations which in this country we are so far making little effort to supply. The 'vocational schools are filling a real need in this direction. In the vocational schools, when well equip • ped, pupils have some opportunity to sample typical bits of work related to various vocations, and as Dr. A. C. MacKay, Supervising Principal of the Toronto Technical Schools has ob- served in a great many cases this opportunity enables boys and girls to discover their own tastes and apti- tudes and so find vocations to which they are suited. In some of the States a definite course of occupational studies is a part of the work of the Junior High School and serves an important pur- pose in helping pupils to discover something of their own likes and dis- likes and at the same time helping to see the bearing and value of the var- ious studies offered in their high school courses. 'Some of us have enough of a Scotch inheritance to love to accumulate money or knowledge without any im- mediate or definite purpose in so do- ing. We may find that in the odd day of leisure we have great resourc- es of entertainment trying to set our mental junk rooms in order and sort- ing and appraising our accumula- tions. Yet those who collect either information or things with definite purpose are apt to live the more ef- flcient lives, and in the case of 'mewl - edge the purpose should be a con- scious purpose, intelligently shared by the pupil if the pupil's mind is to do its best work and attain its best growth.

TUCKERSMITH BRUSSELS /Killed In Explosion. -A fatal aeei- dent occurred here when Albert C. Dames, who owns a 100 -acre foam ad- joining the village, was killed instant- ly while blasting .stumps at the rear of, his farm at 6 .o'clock Tuesday night. He was being assisted by Duican Johnston, experienced in the• business of blasting. An explosive had been placed at the root of a stump, Which Mr. Dames, after wait- ing some time, decided would rot ex- plode. On going to investigate, he put his hand in the hole, and at than moment it exploded. The force of •the explosion blew the flesh from his. hand and crushed his head. He never knew what occurred. Coroner Milne, of Blyth, was soon on the scene, and after investigating ordered the re- mains to be taken to the undertakers. About 20 years ago Mr. Dames met. with a 'similar accident, when two fingers were 'blown off his left hand. Mr. Dames, who was more than 70 years of age, was a life-long resident of this section, moving to Brussels from Cranbrook, where for many years he was a cattle drover.
