TkU CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILL, TRUR8lDAY, MARCH 19th, 1931 PAM ETWO WHY SUCH INDIFFERENCE? It came as a distinct surprise ta tiose who have been watciing tic town o! Cobourg and its petition for separation froin tic United Counties to note tic apparent ltiargy or spatiy with whici the Wardcn, Reevc G. H. Hooton o! Cavan, re- gards tic matter. It secîs quite ap- parent that tic United Counties wlll have to spcnd as much money this year as tlicy did last year and should Cobourg witlidraw f rom tic Counties ta avoid an increase in taX- ation o! $16.000 this ycar it would acenitiat tic otier municipalities are tic ones wio are going to pay for it. In a depatch in tic Peterboro Examiner Warden Hooton is report- ed ta have said: "If they miade up thcir minds to separate f rom us, I suppose ticre is nothing we can do about it except to sec tiat tic quest- ion o! finances are taken cane of." Prom tiese words it would seem tiat ticre is nothing tiat can be donc about t, but as we see it. if tic war- den has tic intercst o! ail munic- ipalities at icart, tiene is notiing ta prevent him figiting tic separ- ation on tic grounds tiat otier municipalities in tic United Count- ici will suffer. Cobourg is not by any means tic oniy municipality in tic United Counties which lias iad a big in- orease in taxes througi tic new equallzcd assesment and if tic other municipalities were ta wthdraw tic counties systeni o! governient in this district would crumble ta tic ground. Evidently Cobourg is dis- gusted witi its increase in taxes, but had that tawn and tic otier muni- cipalitic§ in tiese counties brougit thc asscssnicnt up to date every few Years as tic set requires tien ticy would not have iad tic siock o! an increase in taxes o! $16.000 in one year. Howcvcr they, along wth tic ather municipalities have failcd ta, do this and Cobourg should be wl- ling ta, take Its medicine witi tic rest. Ticre is noting to prevent War- don Hooton retalning legal counsel ta pnotect tic counties interests or Of If! nced be to f ight the separation on behlaf o! tic other maunicipalities Who Will suifer by tic witidnawal o! onc of tic blggest taxpaying mun- ipalities itic United Counties of Durhami aid Northumnberland. MODERN TEACHING METHOUS One icars muci tiese days o! modernnietiods of tcacing, and sniong tiese mtiods onc that lias recclved vcry favorable notice is tic use and tic value o! radio in tic achools. In keeplng witicth policyj ,of tic local schools to maintain atj ail times mot modern teaclijag Metiods tic two entrance classes at the Bowmanville Public Sciool werc privllcged ta listen in on tic Opcning Of Palianient last week. Under tic direction o! Mn. F. C. Conley a radio wau lnstalled itic hall and tic pupis icard tic speech f nom tic throne whci explalncd the plans o! the governanent in tic coming ses- sion. Wile polltics are out o! tic resu o! chlidren's education tiey do however give theni a knowledgc of the way in whlci tic affairs o! thein country are conducted. But o! more value by fan than just tic mere 1istenlng in, is tic tact that tiese chidren wlio will themselves have their own say in controlling the des- tintes o! ticir country, are gradually leanning tic pinciples o! govern- ment and arc theneby keeping gbreast of tic tumes. EXERTS A GREAT INFLUENCE Tic foliowing panagrapi clipped froni an exciange paper gives a very £ain appraisal of tic value o! a wcckly newspapcr to tic district t serves: "Without its newspaper the amail town Canadian communîty would be like a school without a teacier or a ciurch witiout a paston. In tic aggrcgate. the country ncws- A VEAR 0F NEW VALUES e Tic ycar 1931 will go down in tic iistory o! Canadian agriculture as a ycar o! new values, o! reconstruction and readjustinent. Tic prices o! farm products have not only f cît tic effcct o! tic gencral depression but i have been forced to ncw 10w levels .tirougi important market changes forcing a huge volume o! pnoducts on to tic domestic market. But f ced stuffs are equally 10w, and other commodities f allmng in line make tic farmer's dollar to-day woti consid- enably more than a year ago. There is no yean in recent times on wiici to base a comparison o! conditions and tic change !orced on agriculture is so great that in tic opinion o! market experts tic figures o! produc- tion cost and values o! recent ycars arc useless for purposes o! compani- son. Tic net netunns to f amers during 1931 may prove financially quite as satisfactory as any in ne- cent ycans. PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT A cane! ul study o! tic bond situa- tion indicates tiat ail general types o! bond pnices are low according to a statement issued by Donald M Manvin, Economist o! tic Royal Bank o! Canada. Ticre are a veny !cw select gilt-cdgcd bonds wiichi 1anc selUing at prices justificd by pres- c nt conditions, but tic numnber in- 7cluded in tuis group is veny limited. rSince it is probable tiat ticre wil be surplus investinent funds avail- able for tic next two on tince yeans wiici wlll seck thii way into tic bond market, it looks as thougi ticre werc going to be a good bond market for soie timc to come.
