Mr. King's Radio Speeches
There have been those, and -their
number,. if not legion, has not been
small, who have been complaining
somewhat bitterly, about what they
called the inaction of the leader of
the Opposition, the Rt. Hon. W. L.
Mackenzie King.
That while Mr. Bennett has been
promising the people of Canada a
new earth to live in, and Mr. Stevens
has added a new heaven to Mr. Ben-
nett's new earth, Mr. King has mere-
ly sat still and promised:nothing.
Well, Mr. King has now spoken,
and' in speaking . he reminded the
electors of Canada that as far back
as 1933, in the House of Commons,
he laid down the 'policy of the Lib-
eral party, and that that policy is
still his policy, even if it included
then and still includes many, if not
most, of the planks of the new, poli-
cies being so loudly heralded by both
Mr. Bennett and Mr. Stevens as their
own; as something new they have
discovered.
As this is written' Mr. King has
still one more radio ,speech to make,
but from a country standpoint, and
we are particularly interested in
farming, he can not very much bet-
ter what has gone before, because in
promising freer trade, lower tariffs
and wider markets, he has said what
the farmer wants to hear.
The other -Liberal, planks, as laid
down by Mr. King are:
A representative national commis-
sion to administer unemployment re-
lief and provide work and a national
system of unemployment insurance.
, Reciprocal trade agreements with
.other countries, removal of extrava-
gant increases in tariff, abolition of
all unwarranted extra imposts on
imports such as exchange and dump-
ing duties and a substantial British
preference.
Promotion of internal trade by
ending artificial price control and
agreements in restraint' of trade.
Development of primary indus-
tries by reducing costs of production
and obtaining wider markets.
. National control of credit through
a national )central bank.",
Protection of investors by an in-
vestment control board.
Maintenance of the Canadian Na-
tional Railways as a publicly -owned
and publicly -controlled service.
Democratization of indust ify
through granting workers and con-
sumers a larger share in control.
Restoration of responsible govern-
ment by doing away with "blank
cheque legislation."
Free speech, free association and
repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal
Code.
Electoral reform.
A balanced budget through reduc-
ing public expenditures; reducing
interest rates, reducing taxes and in-
creasing revenue by encouraging
trade.
Peace and goodwill in internation-
al affairs.
A more equitable distributioh of
'
wealth With eater regard for' hu-
man needs, fo' 'social justice and the
promotion of the common good.

Municipalities td Administer
Relief
The Ontario Government will dis-
band its relief organization, n l the
administration of relief will Bel -urn -
ed back upon the municipalities.
In making this announcement Pre -
maser 'Hepburn said that the cost of
relief Ito the Province had reached
heights which could no longer be
borne! That relief was eating into
the total receipts of the Province in
a manner that was out of all propor-
tion to other government expendi-
tures, and that unless immediate .ac-
tion was taken not only could there
b„9 any possibility of a balanced bud-
get, but that the Province would be
heading for bankruptcy.
And the Premier is right. Relief
costs, as administered by the Gov-
ernment, have reached the point
where the taxpayers can no longer
meet the bills. It is all right to say,
"Let the Government do it," but peo-
ple forget that the Government has
no money of its own; no hidden
source of income. Its income is made
up of taxes. If it spends more than
the people contribute in taxes, it has
to borrow the money and the same
taxpayers have to dig down in their
pockets to pay the interest on the
sums borrowed.
Turning relief expenditures back
on the shoulders of •municipalities
will .not be a popular move in many
quarters, and already loud and bit-
ter cries are being heard from some
of the larger centres, 'and no won-
der.
There are a good many municipal
councillors throughout the Province
who have been making mighty good.
-fellows of themselves under Govern-
ment relief measures. The cost has
been a very secondary consideration
compared with .personal popularity.
They, have been thinking entirely in
terms of votes, not in terms of dol-
lars and cents.
Everyone has a personal and sin-
cere sympathy with the unemployed,
but •when a situation arises, as it has
in Ontario', whereby the unemploy-
ed in many large centres are living
1a. t ;only a life of comparative ease
I'a d comfort, but are being paid and e
( noney to live that life than is beilg
Warned by many of the employed tax-
payers who contribute the money to
.make such a life 'possible, it is time
to call a halt.
And the Premier has called it. And
after all the municipalities should
appreciate the Premier's action, at
least the rural municipalities.
We have noticed an increasing
number of county council motions in
recent months bearing on very simi-
lar situations. • These councils have
been deploring the tendency of the
, Government to seize arid take unto
themselves more and more of the ad-
ministration of municipal affairs.
Centralization, it is claimed, is not
only invading municipal rights, but a
costly business as well.
Perhaps the Premier has hearken-
ed to these protests. At any rate, the
municipalities will, hereafter, have
full and complete charge of all relief
measures, but hereafter the money
'expended • on relief will be raised on
their own personal assessment, and
not on the general assessment of the
people of the province.
And there is a vast difference be-
tween the two methods. The differ-
ence in spending your own money
andl'spending some one elses. It is
not hard to be a good fellow with
some one else's money, but spending.,
your own has a personal touch about
it, that makes one give the matter
real and earnest consideration.
And we believe the rural munici-
palities, at least, will give relief ex-
penditures real consideration. We
do not mean that they will be heart-
less or even niggardly. The deserv-
ing unemployed will be looked after
and well looked after, but their
needs will be supplied on the basis of
the living conditions of those in the
-country municipalities, who put up
the money, and not on the basis of
either union wages, standards of liv-
ing, or hours of work, when work is
available.
It is believed that the administra-
tion of relief by the •municipalities
instead of by the Provincial Govern-
ment, will effect a saving of over ten
millions of dollars per year, and while
we, in these days, .have learned to
speak glibly of millions and billions,
ten million dollars is real money.
Anct we believe, too, that the mun-
icipalities will accept -and live up to
their responsibilities in •the admin-
istration of relief. That no one will.
suffer thereby, but on the other
hand, the taxpayers at large ,.will
benefit ,greatly by their administra-
tion. •

SKETCHES FROM A
FARM HOUSE KITCHEN
No. 5—We Got the Rain
By Mrs. Paul Doig.
IIt came at last, exactly the sort of
rain that nobody wanted, not even
the ducks. As a xesult, everything is
down but the thistles and the wells.
THEY are upl—the latter a good two
feet. The better the stand of grain,
the flatter it was laid, the grain
growing on last year's "root" ground
being levelled( particularly flat.
"What did 1 tell you?" demanded
the neigh(bor•'s hired man. "Didn't I
tell you that we'd get a storm that
would flatten everything as flat
as -1-1?" (We have always been un-
der the imipress}on that the topo-
graphy of this locality is rollin ut
never having been there we .m yy be
mistaken).
'Rising Three and Eight Past were
out in it all, the former clad only in
a sun suit. They had been inspect-
ing some fencing operations that
were being carried on at the badly of
the farm when the rain began in
earnest. Rising Three ' could on no
account be ,persuaded to take shelter
in a hollow log. Whether he was
afraid that he might meet a bear or
skunk with a grouch he did not say.
At any rate, he preferred to meet his
troubles in the open. After the first
five minutes the trees offered no shel-
ter at all, so that all poor Rising
Three could do was take it and say
"Boo-oo-oo" at irregular intervals.
When the team and wagon finally
appeared in ethe lane it was a sorry
spectacle. The horses plodded along
with drooping heads, up to the fet-
locks in the water that poured down
the ruts• eight inches deep. And the
three human beings on the wagon
seat 1o)oked like nothing on earth„

ourselves were marooned in the
woodshed during the worst of it while

til' the boards that floor it floated:
(There is a tongue -twister for any-
one who goes in for that sort :of
thing).
We were not expecting any such
deluge as descended upon is so un-
expectedly. The first few raindrops
we ignored. "Oh, it's just a passing
cloud." The drops increased in. size
and velocity, and in ten minutes the
creek, which for two weeks had been
only a stagnant pool at the Little
Bridge, was doing a ;very good imi-
tation of the Mississippi overflowing
its banks. It rose high enough to
carry .one of the Seven Year Old's
oxfords down stream, which had been
left on the bank while he took one of
his five daily dips. The quality of
these daily dips will be greatly im-
proved by the recent "heavy rain, it
having. been the custom of the off-
spring to go in bathing in the mud
hole 'at the Little Bridge, which is
also the habitat of a snapping tur-
tle and a million (blood suckers. (If
these have a zoological name, we do
not know it).
'We have been expecting one of said
offspring to come loping up to the
house minus a great toe, but so far
this tragedy has been averted. With
the creek running again the blood-
suckers have been swept down stream
and the family no longer emerges
with four suckers per square foot pf
carcass and 80 per cent. dirtier' and
muddier than when they went in.
Total result of the rain: It helped
the gardens, the roots and the wells.
It doulbled the ;work of the farmer
when he cuts his grain; it wet a lot
of hay that was still out, and it in-
jected new "wim and wigor" into the
wild carrot, the burdocks, =the• thistles
and the bindweed. This was quite
unneeeseary, these pests being al-
ready full of lusty life.
On the whole we are of the opin-
ion that the Weather Man need not
be quite so enthusiastic the nexttime

Court House Clock Gets New Face
The clock in the tower of the Court

applied to the four laces of the clock
and with the hands plainted in black
the time can be readily seen several
blodks away. A circle of buff, with
an inner band of copper, adorns the
edges of the clock's circle, giving it
an attractive appearance. When the
building was painted fifteen years
ago, the clock, it is said, did not re-
quire attention but the pressage of
time and exposure to all kinds of
weather made the painting necessary
at this time.—Goderich Star.

Huron 'Street, on Saturday while the
driver was having lunch. By some
means the brakes slipped and the
truelg started down the grade, gain-
ing speed as it ran. It did not -go
straight down the highway or it
might have had a much longer free
trip, but ran across the street,
knocked the "Slow" sign from its
moorings, struck and broke a Hydro
pole and ran into a large maple
tree, which stopped its course. The
truck was not damaged 'sufficiently to
prevent it being driven on •and the
load of cattle were quite unhurt. But
the result might have been much
worse under other circumstances.—

S. S. LESSON FOR AUGUST llth
Leson Topic—Daniel (Temperance
arid Health).
Lesson Passage—Daniel 1:8-20.
Golden Text—I' Corinthians 6:19.
Daniell_ was of noble, perhaps royal,
descent, and was caeried off, in the
reign of Jehoiakim, into exile. by Ne-
buchadnezzar. With three other He-
brew wouths,he was, Eby command of
the king, selected for his comeliness
of person and -talent, to receive spe-
c:al training for service at court. He
became a conspicuous personage in
the realm, and was promoted by theJ
king to be ruler over the whole prov-
ince of Babylon, and chief of the gov-
ernors over all the wise men of
Babylon. During t h e subsequent
reign of Belshazzar be seem,s•to have
withdrawn into retirement, from
which he was summoned to the im-
pious feast which just preceded the
overthrow of that •monarch. In the
subsequent reigns of Darius and
Cyrus he held high office, and in the
former was the most distinguished
in the kingdom, next to the king. In
addition to his great prosperity, three
prominent features in his life are to
be noticed: (1) His devotion to
principle. IHe began his career by
refusing to partake of that which he
had been taught to regard as unclean.
"But Daniel purposed in his heart
that he would not defile himself with
the portion of the king's meat, nor
with the wine which he drank: there-
fore he requested of the prince of
the eunuchs that he might not defile
himself." The temptations of pre-
ferment and 'court favor could not
corrupt him. He would have perish-
ed in the furnace rather than have
'bowed down to the golden image; in-
deed, he was thrown into the den of
lions for refusing to comiplyy with an
injunction forbidding for tlhirty days
prayer to teod. (2) His distinguished
wisdom. He 'was known above all the
magicians and astrologers of the
realm for skill in interpreting visions
and dreams (verse 20). To this he
added practical knowledge of state-
craft. (3) His fearlessness. He
hesitated net to convey to Nebuchad-
nezzar the news of God's purpose to
abase him'—"And they shall drive
thee from men, and thy dwelling
shall be with the beasts of the field:
they shall make thee to eat grass as
oxen, and seven times shall pass ov-
er thee, until thou know that the,
Most High reileth in the kingdom of
men, and giveth "it~=to whomsoever
he will" (4:3e). It took great dar-
ing and holy courage to deliver such
a message to a royal personage; yet
Daniel was 'fully convinced in his
own mind that it was better to fear
God than man, even a king. Then
on a later occasion the same high
courage was seen when in the• pres-
ence of the royal revellers he inter-
preted the handwriting on the wall to
Belshazzar and said to him, "God
Lath numbered thy kingdom, and
finished it. Thou art weighed•!ri the
balances and are found wanting. Thy
kingdom is divided, and given to the
:1edes and Persians" (5:26-28).
Daniel's life bears a strong-resem-
'blance to that of Joseph, who, also
an exile, acquired the ,highest digni-
ties at a foreign court, and gave one
ret the most conspicuous illustrations
of fidelity to God under the most
trying temptations. (Condensed
from the Encyclopaedia of Religious
Knowledge).
WORLD MISSIONS
This Co-ed Smoking
The Meldlesex School Trustees'
and Ratepayers' Association meeting
in London last January had a record
attendance. The ending part of this
Association's title gives it an added
authority to have its finding receive
clue attention.
The president, Mr, McGill, Glencoe,
evidently a man of convictions and not
afraid to express them, was stirred
to protest the provision made for a
co-ed smoking room at the Western
IJniversity, Londen, Ont. To repeat
his 'viewpoint;
"How long ago is it we were in-
formed that the co-eds had to have a
smoking room at Western Universi-
ty? The co-eds at Western will some
day be coming out as teachers. The
people of Middlesex should show their
disapproval of smoking co-eds by re-
fusing to hire them, or have anything
to do with them.
"After all character means more
than education."
"ll,e position taken 'by this organ-
ization found prompt support by the
ratepayers of Union S. S. No. 17,
Mesa Township, at a specially called
meeting A resolution was adopted
recommending that Ontario's public
and high schools refuse to engage as
teachers ,co-eds who smoke.
Naturally this new -smoking frater-
nity has expressed indignation as a
result of this criticism. , The •vital
point made in the University Gazette
is not the discrimination against girl
teachers smoking but against the tol-
eration of the habit in men teachers.
One of the most powerful influences
is that of a teacher over the youth-
ful mind in the formative period of
life, and it would be, not only "just
as well," but vastly better if the
teachers of either sex refrained from
this, to say the least, harmful physi-
cal habit.
However, two wrongs never make
a right. +In addition, it is not only a
great disappointment to many par-
ents, but a positive shock to distover
that th'e promising students of the
