A thoughtful young man, a former citizen of Port Perry, made this statement a few days ago: 'There are really only two parties in Canada--those who work, and produce, and do all they can to build up the country --and those who exploit the country or - do not contribute to the' national/upbuilding. If the constructive citizens are divided against themselves, the other group will step. in and take control," i There is certainly great need for constructive legis: lation, and it is a pity that good citizens: cannot come to some agreement as to the main reforms, as all "parties claim that we need some reforms. That does not mean that there should be a further combining of forces to "put something over" the Canadian people; but at present we are faced with a confusion of par- ties with apparently but little, if any, attempt to find any basis of agreement. The net result will likely be that the extremists may gain a victory over common sense. This should be a time of conference instead of battle. Policies should be studied carefully, and per- sonality and ability properly considered. R $1.50 per year in advance 5 cents single copy Watch your label; it tells when your subscription expires. SR Es Se Do You Love Children? Do you live in the country? Are there trees, flowers, and sunshine? Have you a house large enough to hold a little girl--or perhaps a little boy--or two? Have you a garden where they could play--where they could hear birds sing, and watch squirrels scampering about the trees? Over 800 little boys and girls are daily dreaming of the "kind lady" who will make it possible for them to leave the city streets during the hot weather. Will you wave your magic wand and make their dream come true? N There are over 600 applications on hand now. The cases have been in- vestigated and the children are redlly mn need of a holiday. : Many hostesses have already writ- ten in--some in fact have already had two groups of kiddies, giving each of them two weeks' holiday. Others have written in to say they wish to keep the children for another two weeks, Still others write asking for the same kiddies they had last year. 18 it because little girls are made of "all things nice" .that so many hostesses ask especially for them? Or is it because they have flaxon curls and big blue eyes? Seventy percent. of the letters coming into the Neigh- borhood Workers office ask for a little girl. Yet there are so many little boys. Bright little lads, eager for a chance to look into a bird's nest, or to watch a young colt gallop around a field. Who'll take a little boy? . "The Fresh Air Camps are filled to capacity' explained F. N. Stapleford, General Secretary of the N. W. A. "We must find private homes for these children if they are to get a holiday at all." The N. W. A. undertakes to have all children medically examined before they leave the city. There is a cloth- ing centre where mothers are taught to make over used clothing. Some of them work every day in the week un- der the guidance of an N. W. A. worker, in order that their kiddy may be clean and decently clad when it goes to its 'dream home". All transportation costs are paid by the Neighborhood Workers As- sociation. All they ask you to do is provide board and room for a child or two, for two weeks, somewhere with- in a radius of 150 miles of Toronto. One very kind lady has written in "I suppse nobody wants little coloured children--I will take two little colour- ed boys". And so two little coloured lads re going to be given a glimpse of paradise. There is a little boy, eleven years old who has been ill all winter. The Doctor pronounces him well again now--but he's very thin. Two weeks, or a month in the country would work wonders for him. Who will fatten him up? ' There is a mother who works frightfully hard, cleaning offices. She has a little boy and girl, ages 9 and T+ They have no place to play. There are lads 13 and 14 years of age--who would love to see a farm-- a real farm, with horses, cows and chickens, A father was killed in an accident. The mother has been ill, there is a little girl 13 years old. The mother is afraid to let her go away--since the accident. Would somebody offer them two weeks- rest in a cool shady spot--away from their 'carts and worries ? Hostesses are safeguarded in every respect, The kiddies are only those recommended by the various agencies. They have all been examined by a Doctor from the City Health Depart- ment. They are taken care of until they are met at the train by their "Fairy Godmother". L Prospective hostesses are asked te send with their invitation a letter from their clergyman, or some well- known citizen of their district, to F. N. Staplford, General Secretary of the N. W.

Hall Nominated Conservative Candidate for Ontario Riding There was a large and en- thusiastic attendance lat the Conservative convention held at Whitby on July 9th to se- lect a candidate to be the Conservative standard bearer in Ontario Riding for the Federal election. Five names were placed before the convention--H, G. McIntyre, T.K. Creighton, Alex. C. Hall, Grant Christie, and Dr. T. E. Kaiser. Dr. Kaiser definitely with- drew his name, and when the ballot was counted, it was found that Mr. Hall had the majority of the votes cast. The nomination was made unanimous. The following is a brief report of Mr. Hall's speech of acceptance as reported by the Oshawa Daily Times: "I come to this meeting," said Alex C. Hall, "as the one unique specimen of a man who expected to be nomin- ated, and who expected to allow his name to stand. I should tell you the reason why I am allowing my name to stand. In the past few months I have been approached by many work- ing men and business men in Oshawa and through the County, who have asked me if I would run. I have found out their views and I have told them mine, and many have signified their willingness to support me if I should be chosen as the Conservative candidate. The reason why I wish to be your candidate at this election," said Mr. Hall, "is that I was born and brought up in this county. I have lived here all my life and I expect to die here. That may be soon, if things don't pick up. I know every trout stream in this county. If you own a farm in this county, tell me where it is, and I can shut my eyes and pic- ture it in my mind. This county is my home, and although I don't want to become sentimental, T will say that I love it. Maybe you will understand now why TI want to your candidate. The party is going to he led in the next election by a man who by his courage and integrity has won become of Canada. R. I} Bennett is the oitly leader in Canada who has ever policy of reform. This policy was presented to us last winter over. Lhe radio, and I may say that I am hearti- Iv in support of it. There have been constitutional difficulties in the path of this reform, but Mr. Bennett has promised to carry out these reforms and he will carry them out. Because he has not completed this great pro- gram within a few months he has been attacked by detractors of the lowest order, by Communistic rags that call themselves newspapers, but in spite of his detractors Mr. Bennett will complete his reform program as he has promised. I don't want to say anything about the candidate of the other party. He has been consistent, and has written a book in which you can study his views, obtained since he was 8 youth. He is a man of great dignity, but he is not the kind of man whom the working man could approach and say "Hello Bill". TI have been trained in the principles of sport, and I do not wish to bring up any person- alities against a possible vival." Now, I am going to tell you what my ideas are," said Mr, Hall "The reason that I am a staunch Conservative, the reason that I am a staunch supporter R. B. Bennett, is that, as I said before, Mr. Canadian politics who has ever haa Bennett is the only leader i the courage and integrity to bring forward a real policy of reform in the face of lowest methods of detraction. The problem in Canada as I see it to- day is to steer behind the old "laissez faire" policy. Some measure of con- for himself the support of the peopl] had the courage to bring forward a trol over big business is necessary if we are to run our country properly. This measure of control over big husi- which was last winter presented to us aver the radio. You can depend on it that ~~ Mr. Bennett will fulfil those promises which he has made, jn spite of any constitutional which may now stand in his way, and that is why I am his supporter. You workingmen in Oshawa and East Whitby," said Mr. Hall, "who work for big companies, are often employ- ed only for a few months of the year, and then laid off through no fault of your own, and are forced to live on your meagre savings, or else on relief, I, as a Canadian object to that, and I feel that I - have the right to object to it. When a machine is not working, it is oiled just the same, and wherein is the man worse than the machine. We have heard in the past few days that My. Stevens has started a new party. In the platform of this new party I find nothing that is not in R. B. Bennett's policy. They are in substance the same thing, Yet I do not think that Mr, Stevens would have the strength" and stability to carry it through; and I feel sure that Mr. Bennett would. That is why 1 am body and soul in support of Mr. Bennett." "If 1 campaign," declared Mr. Hall, "I am going to run an entirely new type of campaign. All support is going to be purely voluntary. I am not going to accept one cent of campaign money from any local source. Then, when 1 go down to Ottawa, I will be in no danger of receiving telegrams from interested parties ordering me as to how I should vote on any question. At almost you see undercover work, but remember, that the man who takes five dollars for his vote is playing into the hands of those who supplied the money. There is going to be no persuasion of that variety if I am candidate. Some. people don't want me to run for that reason. "There is speaker, "1 every election my opinion," said the hope it coincides with yours. If it doesn't, that my bad luck. If we go out to the election with that program, people may be misled by the venomous insinuations and eyewash of the other side, and we may go down to defeat, but I don't think we will. Though the head may be bloody it will still be unbowed". Reconstruction Carty . .... ~ A summary of the platform of the new Reconstruction Party, as an- nounced by Hon. H. H. Stevens, is as follows: I. Work for youth of Canada. 2. Self-sustaining public works. 3. 'National housing program. 4. Uniformity of wages and hours throuchout Canada. 5.
