Now many of the old timers and half timers enjoy a game of golf, much more so than the folâ€"deâ€"rol of circus sideâ€"shows and half pint girls running after a softball. _ Of course they are going to be disappointed as Durham has not stepped up to golf strata, but to help matters out, how about throwing open all the fishing reserves around Durham for the perâ€" lod of the reunion and let the boys enjoy some of the sport of their youth ?

THE DURHAM REVIEW are so inadequate. Only five per cent of the farm people in Canada are e quipped with bathrooms with runâ€" ning water. Six hundred and fifty thousand homes in Canada should be equipped with modern facilitiee and Mr. G. G. Coote of MacLeod, Alta.,‘ supported Mr. Church, saying that poor housing was called ‘slums‘ in‘ the city and ‘shacks‘ in the country. He thought that all Canadians should live in a ‘home‘: "I say homes advisâ€" edly" he said, "because so many of the places in which our people live| ’ Tommy Church was very much in ‘hls oldâ€"time form when he made ‘his speech of support of the housing resolution. He told of having gone through Bracebridge to take a meetâ€" ing for Dr. MacGibbon who was serâ€" jously ill, and being shocked by the very poor rural housing. "Any plan which might be adopted should inâ€" clude rural housing. In many rural communities this matter is one of vital importance, Particularly is this true of Northern Ontario......I had an opportunity to see some of the shacks in which rural people live during winter months. I can only say this, that if we had not spent so much money on railways and state aid for privately owned railways and had spent a million dollars of that money in a housing scheme for such people, we would have done someâ€"l thing more to our credit......The first duty of a government is to look after the health, comfort and welâ€" fare of its people." l Unemployment insurance does not apply to those now unemployed. _A clear line is drawn between unemâ€" ployed relief and unemployed insurâ€" ance. _ The dominion will carry all administrative costs; in no respect will the provinceés have anything to do with it. It may be insurance aâ€" gainst the next depression but cerâ€" tainly not before. The labour men truly said it does not touch the fringe of the problem and yet it is excelâ€" lent as far as it goes. Had it been brought down in the early 1920‘s it would have been a very real assistâ€" ance during these trying years. Simâ€" ilar legislation was passed in Great Britain in 1911, in Italy in 1919, in Austria in 1920, in Irish Free State in 1920 and in France as early as 1905 though in the last case it was voluntary. a national health policy, the housâ€" \ing program proposed by Mr. Church, [ the proposal made by Mr. Dickie frhat a national flag should be adâ€" |opted and Mr. Woodsworth‘s proposâ€" al that the British North America {Act be amended while safeâ€"guarding the rights of minorities. ] House of Commons ' Ottawa, Feb. 2nd, 1935 This session so far is distinguishâ€" ed by the cordial reception given private members‘ resolutions by the government. ‘The practice has been to oppose or endure, but rarely to accept, resolutions ofiered by privâ€" ate members. It is a pleasant change to have the government accepting or referring to special committees }for study, consideration of pensions for the blind beginning at 40 years. The first plece of the muchâ€"heraldâ€" ed social legislation presented to the House was the Unemployment Insurâ€" ance Bill. It is a contributory scheme applying to men and women in cerâ€" tain industries, 21 years of age and over, who earn less than $2,000 per year. The individual contributes 25¢ a week, the employer 25¢ and the Dominion, 10c. The contributions must be made for 40 weeks before any benefits can be drawn for unemâ€" pioyment. The longest timefor which benefits would be paid would be 13 weeks, plus some additional days, de pending on the amount of the contriâ€" bution. During this time the unemâ€" ployed man or woman would draw $6 a week, with $2.70 for each deâ€" pendent adult and 90¢ for each child. It is a compulsory measure but does not apply to people employed in Agâ€" riculture, teaching, fishing, lumberâ€" ing, banking and finance, government service, Policeman, army and navy, sailors, fliers, nurses, agents, domâ€" estic and casual labour. Agres Macpbail‘s Weekly Letter ers which brought the evening‘s program to a close, A vote of thanks was tendered Mr and Mrs Homer for their kind hospitality. The weekly meeting of the Y.P.S. was held in the parsonage Duesday evening in the form of a birthday party, each member representing the month of their birthday. The social convener, Miss Ulva MacDonald was in charge. Mr Hugh MacLean read the scripture lesson. Mr. Homer ofâ€" fered prayer, after which Miss Florâ€" ence MacDonald favored the audience with a piano solo entitled the ‘Robâ€" in‘s Return". The address of the eveâ€" ning was given by Nr.

Lunch and candy were served by the membâ€" The weather has been terribly ©old, the temperature hanging around 2q degrees below in the early mornâ€" ing.

Nicol was a good sport and seemed to enjoy the joke almost as much as we did. Star to task, saying that he had been misquoted. Our corner sent him a note of sympathy, starting it ‘Dear Comrade‘ and adding a Russian endâ€" Ing to all our names. In it we told him how we had suffered from simâ€" ilar misrepresentation and how we appreciated his feeling of resentâ€" ment and embarrassment, We had a lot of fun writing it. I must say Macâ€" Mr. J. R. MacNicol has always shown signs of violent reaction to any mention of Russia, which made his _ little speech of commendaâ€" tions on the results of planning as exemplified by that country a surâ€" prise to the House, and apparently to the press as well. The next day Mr. MacNicol rose to a question of privilege and took the Toronto Daily that â€" agricultural â€" activities â€" would have to be financed by governments since under existing conditions it is impossible to get private companies or individuals to make loans against farm land. I made a brief speech in support of Mr. Elliot‘s position, pointing out in addition that the farmers of Onâ€" tario _ had been practically without loan facilities for a â€"year, none hayâ€" ing been made by the Province since the Hepburn government came into power in June nor at all by the Fedâ€" eral government because of lack of concurrent legislation by the Provâ€" ince. The Federal Loan Board is to have charge of farm loans for the whole Dominion. The amount of money aâ€" vailable for loan has been increased until it is now ninety million. In all probability the interest rate will be 5% %. The Hon. J. C. Elliot, Liberal member for Middlesex West, made a good speech showing that farmers in Ontario cannot pay 5% % interest and that the government would do better to set the rate at 4 % and be sure of getting it than at the higher figure and be reasonably sure of not gotting it. He pointed out what is every day becoming more evident, The government apparently wants to resord a vote on the trade agreeâ€" ments and has provided an occasion. Mr. Harris, member from _ Toronto, has moved a resolution which is still before the House that ‘In the opinâ€" ion of this House the operation of the trade agreements concluded with the Imperial Economic Conference held at Ottawa, 1932, merits the apâ€" proval of the House.‘ It is a purely political resolution, enabling membâ€" ers of the major parties to stage a noisy battle. It is very difficult to measure the full effect of the treatâ€" ies; inasmuch as they increased trade and good will between the Mother Country and the Dominions the effect is beneficial but if by doâ€" ing so they destroy trade with other countries, the trade is counterbalancâ€" ed. I notice that the League of Naâ€" tions rates our standing as ninth, not fifth as was recently stated by a govâ€" ernment member.
