F. has another birthday,â€"the sevenâ€" tconth since entering the House of Commons. It is nothing to say the lady in question feels much more at ease as she enters the House than gle d.J on her birthday seventeen years ago. In other words she has acclimatized herself to her surrouncâ€" ings and now carries wherever she goes a parliamentary environment which will never leave her. How many more birthdays she will have as a member of the House of Comâ€" mons is anybody‘s guess, but whatâ€" ever her future status, no one can take from her the appelation, "Carâ€" ada‘s first lady member of Parliaâ€" Apart from this distinction she has made a niche for herself in many channe}s of public endeavor,. Bui her work of most import is perhaps humanitarian work and helping the underprivileged. _ Recently in _ the House she puta strong plea for penâ€" sions for those who are hopelessly ciippled. In this connection she esâ€" pecialyy pictured _ the situation, though not mentioning namesâ€"of one in her electorate, Danny Nuhn _ of Elmwood, who from his youth has been a helpless invalid, and what a pension would mean to one such as he. While neighbors ard frieads have been kind to him, the state of his finances vwould not allow him to stay at his Elmwood home. necessitâ€" ating him going to the Home for Inâ€" curables at Hamilton. it is situations such as the foregoâ€" ing that find a warm appeal to Miss Macphbail‘s sympathies, and have earned for her such respect and supâ€" port. Political creeds hold a small place in the sun as against human THE DURHAM REVIEW understanding and sympathy. Therefore on another birthday anâ€" niversary, the electors of Greyâ€"Bruce wish for their member many more anniversaries, and that she will hold the goodâ€"will of her electorate, as at present. Whether we like it or otherwise, that product of the farmâ€"a pound of butter.â€"has stepped into a price altitude unequalled for some years,â€" in fact we think since War days. It is a farm commodity that better than anything else, represents the advent of more prosperous days aâ€" head for the farmer. And when the farm prospers, the ninety and nine other trades and . professions take on new life. We think it would be an interesting study to trace the progress of the butterâ€"making . inâ€" dustry from its crude beginning to the present state of excellence. The introduction of butter was in the days of the Israelites, and it came then as more of an acc.dent tlan anything else A band of these Israelites â€" were treking over the desert, carrying in their bottles, milk for use. When reaching the r destination, to their great surprise they found instead a spOnEY mass which the shaking en transit had whipped up. We do not know howâ€" ever tie origin of the word "butâ€" ter." THAT ARISTOCRATIC wWHERE DO YOU WORK, JOHN ? We work to live is true of the maâ€" jority of people. Almost thirty per cent. of what we earn is spent on food, fifteen per cent. on maintenâ€" ance of the home, and eight per cent. on clothing. Considerably more pended on these three items alone. than half of what we earn is exâ€" For the sake of convenience, the breadwinners may be divided into three classesâ€"the primary producâ€" ers, the secondary producers and the growing community engaged in the rendering of services. But we are growing away from the thought of ths article. At the present price of this necessary comâ€" modity on every table, steps are ne~ ing taken in Toronto to boyco:t . it at the price of 40 cents a pound and it is not surpr.sing if we hear in many a home, the head of the house address his young family as they sit down to the meal, "Go easy with the butter, kids its 40 cents a pound." Where does the money come from ? Where does John earn his liveihood ? ‘The primary producers are en gaged in extracting goods from the resources supplied by the bountiful hand of Providence. Agriculture carâ€" ried on by more than 730,000 farms produced oneâ€"sixth of entire national income or about threeâ€"qaurters of a billion dollars. Mineral products obâ€" tained from the earth by 70,000 workers amounted to 180 million dollars. Unmanufactured products of the forest were valued at 115 milliâ€" on dollars and gave employment to 80,000 men. The fisheries and allied industries required the services of 77,000 men The secondary producers turn the raw products into manufactured comâ€" mocdities. The mills and factories of Canada employ close to 600000 people and the value added to raw materiâ€" als by the manufacturing process is dollars annually. The services include a great variâ€" ety of workers, from professional men to . domestic help. No fewer than 200,000 females are engaged in domestic service. el15 Dy TNo INQBUIGULUIINE PIUUUCSS i8 and 28th. now around one and a half b.llion Mrs. John Sharp read on Peace, dollars annually.
