This means that cars are being stolen at the rate of nearly five per dayâ€"chiefly, no doubt, through failure of the owners to lock them. Proof that the young men of Ontario are willing to work is shown when 9,000 men from various sections made their way to Delhi to bacco fields the past week, looking for work harvesting the crop. Their keenness to get work certainly contradicts certain charges made against these men. The goodwill that Italy feels for Poland tends to prevent the Danzig situation from gettingy out of hand. Italy, it is believed, will not go to war merely to help Germany to get Danzig. Yugoslavia is another country that may be swallowed up by Hitler and Mussolini if no stiff resistance is offered by the deéemoâ€" cracies.

At Port Franks, Ontario, a woman and her daughâ€" ter were drowned in a nine foot deep pool and a citizen of that town asks that im‘uests be held in order that the public may be informed and thus become better prepared to avoid future fatalities, With the fall fair season approaching, farmers and townsfolk are showing increasing interest and the fairs in the various townships for 1939 promise to be equally as good, if not better than other years. This county has no less than four fairs, Galt, Elmira, New Hamâ€" bur‘g and Wellesley, in addition to many school fairs which are of great educational value and interest to the young folk.

"It is time that the farmers of Ontario did some thinking about the conditions of their orchards. If they are past their usefulness, they would be better cut down for firewood.

"AN OFFICIOUS OFFICE BoY" (Fergus Free Press) Some of the Guelph aldermen are complaining wbout the way Prime Minister Mackenzie King ordered thein to move away off the platform when the King and Queen were there. After the presentations were made, they were ordered to move on, and Mr. King acted like an "officious office boy", according to one alderman. What a laugh that gives those who were present. Many of the Guelph "elite" herded like sheep on the edges of the platform till a Mountie (not Mr. King) ordered them to get out of the way so that the thousands of spectators could see Their Majesties. Several entertainâ€" ing stories could tbe_told if the reporters really liked to MR. HEPBURN AND THE TIN CUP (Toronto Star) As an unemployment relief measure, the Dominion offered to pay 50 per cent. of the labor costs on apâ€" proved municipal projects wherever the province conâ€" cerned would provide the other 50 per cent. This offer the Ontario government scornfully rejected. It thus deprived Ontario municipalities of their share of the available federal funds, and of the needed improvements which these funds would have made possible. It withâ€" held from Ontario industry the stimulus which a goyâ€" ernmentâ€"assisted mnicipal works program would have provided. It robbed this province‘s unemployed of the work which an acceptance of the Dominion offer would have given them. That was what Mr. Hepburn‘s refusal meant, and he was the only premier to take such a stand Great Britain has given Japan assurance that British interests in China will not follow a course detrimental to the security of the Japanâ€" The number of chattel mortgages in some counties are reported on the increase.

On the other hand, Time points out that the field of the weekly has not much to offer the radioâ€" the advertising field is limited and the news that the small community wants the radio can‘t supply them. Mr. George McCullagh of the Toronto Globe and Mail, who sponsored the Leadership League of Canada, states that it cost him $70,000 to carry on his educational campaign for lowering of taxés. He received in public subscriptions only $800. Great Britain has no intention of financing Gerl:g;ny to the extent of several billion dollars in order that Hitler might be induced to abanâ€" don his policy of military aggression and reâ€" turn to the ways of peace. Premier Chamberâ€" laflirn denies the government <made ‘any such offer. Therefore, then, says Time the woll edited and newsy weekly paper fills a place in a larger community that no other agency can possibly touch. The news carried by the weekly paper is of no interest to the world at large but it is of vital intgrest to the district which it serves; and the good,,wéeklles are serving larger districts, ‘being printed at some central point, containing news brought in by a good news gathering source. Interesting, too, to note was Time‘s statement that a country editor rarely gets rich, that he works from 60 to 80 hours a week, rarely has time to read a book, and has to ‘be mighty careful what he prints. Recently the Ontario government and the board of education at Toronto were engaged in a controversy about expenditures that is of inâ€" terest to all municipalities since it is on the question of salaries. Hon. Harry Nixon critiâ€" cized the Toronto board for its extravagance in paying too high salaries, making it difficult for school boards in other centres to hold their teachers.
