unionville on mon day by wilton c eddis sous chartered accountants and showed a deficit for the year of 97083 the 1936 taxes unpaid at the end of the year amounted to 354349s and for 1935 and prior 2015230 com menting on the general finances of the township the auditors said the operations of the year show an oper ating deficit of 97083 this re duces the surplus to 278400 the fixed assets amount to 39895s as shown on the balance sheet and it is therefore apparent that there is a deficit of 1205 5s of current asset as compared with current liabilities the balance in the surplus account for the past four years shows as follows year ending dec 31 1933 719175 year ending dec 3l 1934 452030 year ending dec 31 1935 375483 year ending dec 31 193g 27s400 from the above it will be seen that the twp has not been assess ing sufficient to pay operating ex penses we believe that the town ship should have a surplus of at least the amount of their fixed assets and that some effort should be made during the present year to correct this situation we believe that the subsidy of one mill on the assess ment which you will receive from the province of ontario should not be used to reduce taxes

orders declares that the emancipation of woman in our day has been one of the greatest events of all time in most of the depart ments of life she is now free to compete with men even in the church the pulpits of some of our denominations are being thrown open to her for over twenty five years the present writer contended that she should be given the franchise it was his belief that her advent into the wider field would mean the cleansing of the body politic and the renovation of society but he is compelled to admit that the result thus far have been disappointing he is convinced that the time is now opportune for a forward step the purpose of this article therefore is to advocate the formation of a league of militant women bent on a more effectual public ministry some specific reasons for this project i ventureto submit the first is this god has given to woman the necessary capacity mencken in his defence of woman affirms that while men are more practical iu the trivial calculations of trade they are not so practical as women in the personal problems of daily life he asserts that women think in terms that are more definite and concrete possibly he is right miriam the sister of moses is said to have in vented the double boiler for this the present writer has often been grate ful to her richard arkwright has the credit of inventing the spinning- jenny but he got the suggestion for it from his wife eli whitney is said to have been the inventor of the cottongin a machine for separat- the cotton fibre from the seed it in creased the days product one hun dredfold and made the south rich but whitney caught the idea of it from mrs nathanael green on whose estate he worked it may be granted too that women are superior to men in that they have a greater capacity for spiritual alarm they are or at least should be the moral sentinels of society a com munity seldom rises above its homes and its homes do not often rise high er than its mothers in her verv constitution woman is finer than man- her experience of motherhood makea her finer still indeed it may be argued that the mother does hardly more for the child than the child does for the mother a second reason for the formation of the league suggested above is that science has given to woman the necessary leisure modern leisure has three characteristics there is more of it there are more ways in which to spend it and we come untired to it what to do with it has become a problem the work of the educator today is more difficult than ever be fore boys and ginls have to be pre pared not only for their vocation but also for their avocations the average mother of fifty years ago had little leisure she had quite generally a large family and very few conveniences she worked from daylight until dark and often far into the night as some of us ot of mature years can testify the lot of the average housewife today is quite different she has no rugs to shake no lamps to clean no washboard over which to break her back she has her afternoons to do with them what she will what is she doing with them a wideawake british woman on a recent visit to the west declared that many of her amusements reminded her of nero modern sisters in their afternoons fiddling while rome was burning a third important reason for the entrance of woman into this latger field is that many governments are giving her the opportunity they are putting into her hands the in strument of the franchise this en ables her to determine the kind of man or woman who is to represent her it is a mighty power will she use it if so how in the section of the city where i last ministered i do not think that more than thirty women out of every hundred took the trouble to go out to vote i re member that on one occasion in a city where i formerly lived an estimable lady of my acquaintance was as anxious as i that a certain citizen should be elected mayor on the day of voting it was found that the two opposing candidates had re ceived equal support the deciding vote of the city clerk was given against our choice on the following day the lady referred to confessed to mo that she had not taken the trouble to cast her ballot at all and yet her help would have changed the verdict of the electors the man or the woman who refuses to use the franchise on two successive occa sions except for good and sufficient reasons should be deprived of the privilege altogether two great weaknesses in every democracy are the ignorance and the indifference of great numbers of its people a final reason for womans great er partnership in public affairs is that our time is calling loudly for just such aid as she can give what are the elements of an effectual call they are three some measure of ability the recognition of a need that this ability can meet and the still small voice we have seen that woman has the capacity the leisure and the means surely then if she has eyes to see and a heart to feel she must be aware of the fact that the perplexities and the f 01r tlmo are calling sma11 voice if so what is to he the answer i wouidvovi for a pdem ster by the s ra and m host at length fro i the hillcountry of a fiery call to her dwelling ephralm she sent barak in the north to draw unto mount tabor and to do battle with the aggressors barak agreed to her request on condition that she would accompany him well together they went discomfitted the marauders and introduced an era of peace i would not make deborah how ever the patroness of this new movement her spirit was hardly christian i would turn rather to claudia procla the vife of pilate from what we know of this womau it would seem that she was both good and brave we infer that she was good from the fact that she dreampt of jesus the whole mystery of dreams has never deciphered one opinion is that they are the efforts of the un conscious to influence our con scious life prof george paxton young used to tell us they were old sense movements returning on their former tracks still another holds the view that often they are just the ecno of preceding waking thoughts it may be that all dreams are caused by a heaviness either in the body or in the mind claudia procla may have heard of jesus from her jewish maid she may have seen and heard him on the streets of jerusalem she may have heard i an official asking her husband the evening before the crucifixion for a company of soldiers to effect tho arrest of jesus at any rate it is possible that she retired that night uneasy in mind regarding jesus with the result that she dreampt of hun did you and i ever dream of jesus if not has the reason been that he has been so little in our thoughts we infer also that this woman was brave from the fact that hers was the only voice raised in protest in behalf of jesus in the hour of his great emergency see that thou have nothing to do with this just man she said to pilate is it any wonder that the greek church has entered her name in its calendar of saints it is any wonder that the coptic church holds her in lovinof memory every twenty fifth of june and isnt it a wonder that the church of the west has so long neglected her why not cry to atone in part at least for this neglect now she is worthy of being made the patron saint of a modern band of heroic women what community then will be the hist to organize a claudia procla league of militant women to study the privileges of the ballot aud to assist iu all legitimate ways iu the solution of our local provincial national and interatiohal problems but especially by the exercise of an intelligent nonpartisan christian franchise such a league iu every district aud each coordinated with every other could influence the whole realm of politics and could help mightily iu ushering iu the kingdom of
