A considerable number of Mr. Som- erville's friends took advantage of this opportunity to do him honor. The banquet was a most enjoyable affair and did credit to the management of At the conclusion of the dinner a short toast list was given with Mr. H, G. Hutcheson pre- siding. Mr, Hutcheson was in happy vein and suggested that some such social event as the present should be more frequently held in Port Perry. He thought that some organization might well be found for the purposes of social and business betterment. He was proud to be able to preside at a gathering in honor of Mr. Somer- ville. At the conclusion of his ad- which was received in the usual loyal singing of the National Anthem. Dr. Lundy next proposed the toast to Canada, telling of the great country in which we live and of the wonderful opportunities we have, if we will but use them, Response to this toast was made by Mr. W. L. Parrish who, having seen some of the Southern States, had been greatly impressed by the progressive. ness of Canadian farmers as compared with the southern farmer. He gave an illustration showing the difference in stock on the southern farm and the Canadian farm. He concluded his re- marks with Mr. Moore's creed of Canada, which appealed to him: MY CREED I believe in Canada. I love her as my home-- I honour her institutions. I rejoice in the abundance of her resources. I glory in the record of her achieve- ments. 1 have unbounded confidence in the ability of her people to excel in what- soever they undertake. I cherish exalted ideals of her.des- tiny as a leader among world nations. To her I pledge my loyalty-- To the promotion of her best in- terests I pledge my support. To her products I pledge my pat- ronage-- > Angd-to the cduse of her producers 1 pledge my devotion, Mr. Geo. Sweetman, of Scugog, an ex-Warden of Ontari6 County, was called upon to speak. He said he was always proud to look upon Mr, Somer-|- ville as a friend. He hoped that as Warden, Mr. Somerville would be ahle to use some influence in retaining and bettering our present railway service. Mr. King, of Whitby, also added his testimony to the excellent reputation which Mr. Somerville had earned as a member of the County Council and wished him every success in his office as Warden of Ontario County, Mr. W. M. Letcher then proposed 'the toast to Warden Somerville. The toast was received with the heartiest goodwill. «Mr. Somerville replied in a brief and very pleasing address in which he thanked his friends for the honor conferred upon him and pro- mised to give as good service to the community as was in his power, Mr. C. C. Jeffrey introduced the guest speaker of the evening, Mr. W. H. Moore, M.P. He said that he hoped that this would be but the beginning of many gatherings such as this in Port Perry. Referring to the railway situation he said that he was still in touch with this matter, and told of the help he had received from Mr. Moore at Ottawa, in this regard, ~ OFFICIAL to Truck Me. re sia io Gold Standard." 'A First he ex- Pressed his pleasure in having the op- portunity to address the business men in Port Perry. Next, he briefly traced the growth of Canada from the days when the Spaniards gave it its name, which meant--'"nothing here"--to the| | present time with all our development and prosperity. Such development had meant investment and hoth Can- adians and other peoples had billions of dollars invested in our resources. Next Mr. Moore outlined the me- diums used in financial matters, ex- plaining the convenience of the gold standard. Gold has been used as the medium of exchange because of its convenience. He did not hold with the theory that the gold standard was to blame for the present depression. In 1927-29, when trade was expanding so rapidly, the different countries of the world began issuing notes regardless of gold reserve, In normal times the English speaking nations set a stan- dard 2 thirty-three and a third per cent 8f gold against notes issued. He explained that the pound sterling re- presented 113 grains of fine gold. The American dollar represented 23.22 grains of fine gold. So long as this uniformity was contained it saved much confusion, Referring to the reported percent- age of gold in the various countries, Mr. Moore said, that the alleged 40% supposed to be in the hands of the United States was really largely on deposit by other countries, To-day they actually only have about 20% of the gold supply. Each year sees an addition of the gold supply of the world. Last year Canada produced 11% of the new gold while 71% of the new gold was pro- duced within the British Empire. There is a very great reserve of gold in India--about three billion dollars. Very large shipments of this gold had been made recently to Great Britain. Dealing with the present depression Mr. Moore said, we must think of human things if we want this world back to a time when a living will be provided for all, "At the beginning of the century we began to worship a strange new god. In the United States he was recognized as supreme, the god of mass production. We built an image of mass production in this country, but we found he wouldn't distribute his favors as lavishly as he did in the United States, because mass produc- tion needs mass consumption," Mr. Moore declared, "Men replaced by machinery lost their buying power. We must think of humanities as well as sciences and mechanisms," Leading up to the foregoing state- ments, Mr, Moore outlined the history of mechanical methods which, he said, slowly but surely replaced the human hands, until the present economic con- ditions had resulted, "England, two hundred years ago," Mr. Moore said, "was a conservative, happy and prosperous country. No men were dependent on charity." The speaker contended that with the invention of spindles for weaving cloth by John Hargreaves, an in- dustrial revolution occurred that slow- ly» supplanted prosperity for the masses with poverty, The same thing occurred later in United States, with the invention of the gin mill, At the conclusion of Mr, Moore's address words of appreciation were expressed hy Rev. R. T. Richards and ™ Rev. E. E, Annand, and so concluded a very happy and social event, WARNING Owners LOADS MUST BE REDUCED DURING MARCH AND APRIL, : Trucks and Trailers and Horse-drawn Vehicles shall be Limited A LOAD All Road Hn Truck Drivers in Ontario Coty by strictly 'enforcing and adhering to the Traffic Act pertaining to loads hauled dur- County Offelals and Road Foremen apprehending all who KEAN, County Rod Engineer.

(Winnipeg Free Press) The importance of the matters be- ing discussed by the Special Parlia- 'mentary Committee on radio broad- 4 u clearly grasped by the Canadian peo- ple; radio broadcasting being an ac- tivity in which practically everybody in the country has some sort of per- sonal interest. It is the purpose of the Committee at Ottawa to take evidence from various witnesses with a view to find- ing out. which is the best system for the control and operation of radio in Canada, and the investigation has, of course, already brought out the fact that there is a wide disagreement on the question. Several rival theories are contending with each other before the Committee at Ottawa, and on the Committee's decision the fate and fortunes of Canadian radio for some 'considerable time to come will depend. Some final decisions apparently will shortly be made about radio in Can- ada, and the public should be fully in touch with the situation as it now exists, and as it may exist in the event of certain changes being made. Radio in Canada is now, it may be said, at the parting of the ways, What is in issue is the quéstion of control of the equipment and the broadcasting. Control of radio, in its legal aspects, has been vested in the Federal Gov- ernment of Canada, but the actual operation of the radio stations is un- der a diversity of controls and in the hands of different owners. What has now come up for definite consideration is the question of public ownership and control of Canadian broadcasting, as opposed to the present system of private operation, or to any other system in which private interests would have the controlling influence. In the United States broadcasting is entirely in the hands of private corporations, and the radio broadcasts derive their support from revenue paid in for commercial advertising, and so far, radio in Canada has been depend- ent on the same source for its income. * . * The question now to be decided is whether this is a suitable foundation upon which to go forward with radio development in Canada; and the further question comes up as to whether, on such a foundation, there is any hopeful future for Canadian broadcasting. While advertising may claim a place in any general scheme of broadcasting, the desirability of making it carry the whole load of a radio policy has become the main sub- ject at issue before the Ottawa Com- mittee. Opposed to the present sys- tem of private operation is the pro- posal for a publicly-owned broadcast- ing system, whose control is vested in the Dominion Government, and ad- justed by arrangement with the pro- vinces to give the best possible service and programmes of entertainment and information to the whole Canadian area. Radio undoubtedly is at a turning point in Canada, and the Canadian people should have some idea of what they want to make of it, and what they want it to do for them. If Can- adian radio does not pass into Gov- ernment control, it will, it is perfectly safe to make the prediction, pass into the hands of private monopoly; and the ultimate control of Canadian broadcasting will be in the United States. The weakness of the various alternative proposals opposed to Gov- ernment control is that this is where they all lead to. United States radio interests are so powerful, so inter- locked, and inter-related, that there would be no escape under private opefation, and broadcasts put on the air in Canada for Canadians to hear would, in the last analysis, be con- trolled from the United States. It is more than doubtful if the Canadian people want anything like this lo happen; and this is the consideration which gives the question of national ownership of radio its peculiar im- portance. We cannot prevent broad- casts coming from the States; in many cases we welcome them as heing of great merit, but that is very dif- ferent from this country losing control of its own air channels: which seems inevitable if radio passes under the in- fluence of a gigantic private broad- casting monopoly. The committee at Ottawa is taking evidence from the various parties in- terested either in preserving the ex- isting private operation, or in estab- lishing Government "control of Can- adian radio, and there should be a strong expression of public opinion on the question which would act as a guide to the finding the Committee ought to make. If Canada loses her casting in Canada should be very; tremely difficult to recover. control of the air, it will be a very ' important loss, and one, perhaps, ex- Pron povsnt ot lmtioens wil be much appreciated ti $1.50 per year fn advance "= EPSOM On Sunday next, April 8rd, the order of services on the Epsom circuit will be as follows: Sacrament at Epsom at 10.30 a.m. Bethesda preaching service at 2.30 p.m. Utica preaching service at 7.80 p.m. Sunday Schools will be held at the usual hours at the various ap- pointments.

These were very much enjoyed especially by the ones not mentioned; as also were the "wise cracks" given in a paper by Miss Aileen Devitt. A spelling match was then held after which lunch was served by the group in charge. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr, and Mrs. Graham for the use of their home and the meeting closed in the usual way.
