The reasons have been steted fram several angles witli empliasis particularly on the need for e Board of Trade n 0w that flic Eu- ropean struggle is drawing toae close and its function would lie of great lelp in solving j probleins that assuredly wîll present thein- selves when aur soldiers corne home fromn abroad. To give furtlier impef us taw-ard me- * vival we quote a ecent report in the Port Hope Guide. If states: The Port Hope Board of Trade, feeling thaf only by e joint effort can anyfhing womfli îhile lie eccomplislicd in Town, lias dcided ta enlist the co-operation of all local organizations in furthering plans for pro- jeets of community betterment. In one pro- jeet alane, a Community Hall, if is found that four organizafions are separatelv con- f idering the idea. The saine is true of others. g o flic Board of Trade lias circulariz.cd the 80 separate organizafions ln Town, indus- * tries, service clubs, ethlefic clubs, churcli as- sociations, women's clubs and so forth, su- gesting a general get-together ta devise ca- ordinae d ways and means for creatiing what so many talk about but ini whicli action is. lacking. The movement is directlv i n hue wifh what is needed on the eve of victory abroad, and in anticipation of the retumu of local soldiers so long away. Bowmanville 18 faced with a similer complex. Various organize- * tions arm agreed on several projects but lit- tie is being donc. Witli e live Board of Trade the blueprint ebove is indicative of ,whaf cen and sliould lie donc. As sugg-ested befo re, we believe the Town Council is over- bur'àened et present wif h considerable work that propemly is the function of e Board of Trade. Finally the great cansideration is ta get coordinated effort in the manner a dopf cd in Port Hope. In this alone, autside of commercial and industriel activities, e i-I live Board of Trade completely justifies its existence. Bowmanvillecacn not mucli longer continue its course of inacfivity in this re- Off With His H-ead! Two members of flic Maniftoba Legislafure, B. R. Richards, of The Pas, and Dr. D. L. Johnson of Brandon, have beetu expclled from membership iunflic Provincial CCF party for daring fa criticise parfy leader- rnhp and party policy.

The general feeling among, voters is that the dignty of tlie Legisiature is being lowered by the tactics of this unlioly and undigni- fied partnersliip. People generally feel that tlie recent squabbles in the House will ]cad ta its dissolution and enotiier Provincial elec- t ion. Thet tliis appeers ta be a probabilif v is underwritten by a laf e press release we re- ceived from a 00F member, w-li statcs: "I do nat expecf there ivili bc any debate on the budget ivhen fIe vote is taken on the Speech fram tlie Tlirone, the Gavernment will be defeafed and mosf likely dissolution ivill followi.
