The Huron Expositor, 1931-06-05, Page 4ON EXPOSITOR �tl rc Afd • r++ Ii, Friday, June 5th, 19§1. is THE BUDGET 17, , Fremier Bennett's first budget, 'Which has been, eagerly awaited, and I� :7tias• kept the ibusinese world ntd we ".M tor some months, was brought n tin the House of Commons on Monday. In one sense, the revealing of. its contents is a relief to the business world. .Business knows where it is at now. Aside from that one fact, how- ever, the budget brings little cheer to the general business public, and none whatever to that part of the public which is in the unfortunate position of being what is known as the con- sumer. With a national deficit of a hundred million dollars or so, it was eepected that there would have to be new tax- es imposed, but the common man did not expect that he would have to bear the brunt of practically all this new taxation. But the common man, the every day consumer, is a long suffering in- dividual. He will give more support on the strength of a promise, and say less when that promise goes unful- filled, than any other class in the coun- try, excepting only the tillers of the soil. All this the Government knows, and knows too it is always safe to give another twist or two to the screws. A few more promises will fix the lit- tle fellow, and he will go on paying through the nose. But the big fellow and the manu- facturer won't do any such thing. On their part faith without works is dead. They look to the Government to sup- ply the works, and the Government, knowing these things too, does supple the works, or the wherewithal to keep the work going, which is all the same thing. And the common consumer is going to settle. The new budget has made provision for that, make no mistake about it. In fact, the cor sumer is going to pay more for everything he eats, ev- erything he wears and for the fuel he has to burn during our Canadian winters. War time taxes have come back. Three cent postage, which has twice been reduced to two cents by Liberal Governments, has for the second time been raised to three cents by a Con- servative Government. A two cent stamp has to be placed on every cheque, every receipt, every money order and on many things. Oranges and other fruits, not pro- duced in this country, and which for some time have been a cheap and healthful addition to the daily menu, are to be taxed beyond the means of the common man. The same applies to vegetables, which are only season- ably produced in this country. The consumer, of course, can do without these things. Letter writing, at best, is a troublesome business and the increased postage will give him an excuse to drop it altogether. Too many, not now having bank accounts, have forgotten how to write cheques anyway. The two cent stamp on these won't count. And we can do without fruit and vegetables. In fact we can` more than pick a living, we can thrive, on what grows about us out of doors in the summer time. But we can't do any such thing in the winter time, and we cant live without fuel then either. In, recent years Ontario's fuel has been anthracite coal from the Pennsyl- wdnia mines. To secure enough ton - age of that commodity, to keep the average man's home habitable in win- ter, is already a burden almost equal to the taxes. Now, the new Budget provides for a substantial increase in the already high duty against anthracite, with the intention, it is stated, of helping the British, Nova Scotia and Western coal mines, and we are, supposed to look upon it as a very commendable ges- ture, if only a gesture, towards Elia- Fire trade. Unfortunately, the average Ontario householder can secure neither Brit- ish nor Maritime coal, nor could he utilize it for house heating if he could secure it. Western coal is another story. On- tario householders can use that— would, in fact, be glad to use it if they could get it in quantities and at a price that would compare favorably, ton for ton, with the price of hard coal. To date .that feat has never been accomplished, and increasing the duty en. the American product is scarcely likely to either increase the tonnage strident to meet Ontario require - Merits, or to temper the price to On - i arae consumers. hese things are but the fringe of the littdget.

Miss Katie Scott and Mrs. Lloyd Hudson spent this week with their relatives in Toronto, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bragg and little daughter, of Woodstock; Mr. and Mrs. William Pybus, of Chisel- hurst, and Miss M. E. Pybus, of Wlind- sor, all spent Sunday last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Pyybue. Saturday last being Decoration Day in the United States, a number of former'Hensallites spent the week end here with relatives and friends, among whom we noticed d s. andaJohn Steacy a and two sons, lady friend of Mrs. Steacy, also Mr. Lester Fisher and Eddie Berry. Mrs. John Murdoch, of Richmond Street, South, is having her dwelling roof nicely reshingled, also the ver- andah, and has a very neat and well - kept premises. Mr. A. •W. E.

Wenotice by University examina- tions recently reported from the Uni- versities of London and Toronto, that two of our Hensall students have made good showings in their examina- tions. In the first mentioned from London is the name of Miss Margaret McLaren, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Y. McLaren, who, in addition to passing her recent examination most successfully, secured a quite val- uable scholarship and the second al- luded to being Mr. Hlarry Joynt, a - of Mrs. Alice Joynt, of our village, who successfully passed his third ex amination in Medicine, at the Toronto University. Thus from time totime our Hensall students give a good re- cord for themselves. The members •of Sir George Ross Chapter, ,of London, were entertained Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs..Colluyer, she being a member at London before coming to Hensall with her husband, Dr. Colluyer. The school children enjoyed the King's Birthday holiday on Wednes- day last in picnicking, some at Grand Bend and some in the neighboring woods. We believe Mr. William Hyde has disposed of his farm in the neighbor- hood of St. Marys, which will leave him free to carry on work on the Lon- don Road farm, just a short distance south of our village. Picnic parties td the different points along the lake are beginning. Sudden Death.—Mr. James Hog- garth, next door neighbor of Thomas Cook, was shocked on Wednesday morning last in calling at his home, to find that he had passed away some time during the night or • morning hours. Thomas, although of a robust constitution in past years, had been failing very much during the past year or so from heart trouble, which, no doubt, was the cause of his death. His wife predeceased him' a number of years ago and since that time he had been living mostly by himself. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Garlock, of Detroit, and Mrs. Appleton, now of London. The deceased was, we be- lieve, in his 71st year, and had lived well, that we cannot attempt, wi in our vl'l!age. pretty much al •his life- time.

Many beautiful bouquets were received during the day. Dur- ing the evening a presentation of a chesterfield chair was presented to Mr. and Mes. McDonald. Miss M. Horney, R.N., read the address, Mrs. T. McCurdy making the presentation. Mr. McDonald made a very fitting re- ply, after which a suitable program and many reminiscences of the past were enjoyed by all. Delicious re- freshments were then served•an af- ter all joinedll departed hands singing, wish- Lang Syne," ing the bride and groom many' happy returns of the same. Anniversary Services. — Annivers- ary services were held in the United Church on Sunday last, Rev. Mr. Lane of Northside United Church, Seaforth, being (the preacher for the occasion, and delivering two very able, inspir- ing and instructive sermons:which were listened to with great.interest by large congregations, particularly so at the evening service, the attend- ance being so large that the spacious church was taxed to hold the gather- ing, and the gallery also being well filled. The reverend gentleman dwelt upon the needs of the church at the present time •anal the great work it was called upon to do, a work that no other organization than the church was fitted to meet, •and the need for faithful and aggressive work and standing firmly to the principles laid even- ingdown in service ehecfo lowed largely on the needs of the present times, stressing that the Word of God was so impres- sive on the subject of us all being brethren in the service of the great Master, as He so desired and taught, and that in place of so much competi- tion, there should be much more co- operation and working together in the great cause for which the churches should be• more and more blended. The service of song was well in keep- ing with the occasion and was as fol- lows: Morning, Anthem, "More Love to Thee, 0 Christ," soloist, Mrs. G. Hess; anthem, "Lead On 0 King Eternal," soloist, Mr. W. 0. Goodwin; Evening Service: Male quartette, "When You Go There," taken part in by Jack Skinner, Frank Moore, L. Stewart and Dalton Davidson, all of Mitchell; solo by Frank Moore, of Mitchell; male quartette, "Going Home," by Mitchell quartette. The services, as we have already intimat- ed, were most largely attended and greatly enjoyed, and while no special call was made for finances, the offer- ings were much larger than anticipat- ed. —'On Monday evening following a play was held in the Town Hall, un- der the auspices of and for the bene- fit of the large church choir, under the very able and efficient leadership of Mr. W. 0. Goodwin, of our village. The title of the play was "Eyes of Love," and w,ps nut on by the Listowel Dramatic Club, who were brought here by the Rev. Mr. Naylor, a former Rec- tor of St. Paul's Anglican Church, and who introduced them (very nice- ly to the audience and spoke of the great success that marked the play in the home town. Rev. Mr. Sinclair, whoerwas chairmanfor ihisthe dut es and very nicely pe in introducing ''Rev. Mr. Naylor spoke of how much he admired him and how pleasant their relations had been dur- ing the years of his pastorate here; and Mr. Naylor in speaking, empha- sized how plealsant the years had been here and what pleasure it gave him to be present on this occasion. Now as to the play, it was so well put on in three acts and every one of the large company taking their parts so wife could see these statements.It night enlighten them some, even hearten them a bit, and the farmer hasn't heard much in the way of glad tidings since the last election. It was New Zealand butter that greased the skids on which the farm- ers shoved the Bennett Goveever rnment into power last July, and good many of them have been won- dering just why they did it. Now they know. It was to estab- lish a safety fund of $10,000,000 out of their dairy profits by means of which they have been enabled to tide themselves over this very critical per- iod. Great oaks from little acorns grow. Who could have conceived, let alone the farmers themselves, that such colossal profits could be made out of twenty or twenty-five cent butter? Better keep your hands in your pockets, boys. It isn't safe to be strutting about with all that money in them.
