THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 19-26. County engineers and others complain of damage to roads because of overloading of trucks and speed at which they are driven on highways. The necessity of limiting loads was recognized by the Government three years ago. Unless you wish more drastic legislation, further limiting of weight and speed, you will co-operate with the Department and obey the law. All tax payers must not be penalized because of `cmporary prot to the few. Road repair bills should never be burdensome and will not be if you use the highways reasonably. Penalties are provided for overloading and fast driving. These should be unnecessary, but will be rigidly enfofccd whenever necessary. THE HON. G. S.

By the application of simple, ordin- ary common sense in merchandising, by -buying` for consumption or for sale those things which are produced by others who co-operate with us in sharing the burden of responsibility which accrues to us as Canadians. Apart entiiely from that sense of vu uun us.-.;.z. there is a very special appeal in Canadian citizenship. The averayre of inzeliligence is high, justice is even- ly administered, we are all producers. there being practically no idle rich, we are reasonably enterprising and we are capable of self sacrice in the defense of our ideals. It is argued by some that we-suf-; for from an inferiority complex, that we depreciate ourselves in com- parison with *.he United States, but- those who so ar_2'ue are merely lcok-- ing for some kind of an excuse fm cerain indications that have appeared on the surface wizhin the past few years. If they will allow their minds to run ba.ck a few years they will recall tha: prior to 1913 we were In- clined to feel sorry for the United? States. Their people were coming here in search of opportunity. Our (factories were nding` it diicult to keep pace with the demands made upon them. Jobs were available for all. We were convinced that Can- ada was the country of the 20th cen- tury. Then came the _e;reat war, with all l`.S attendant self sacrice, its cost in men and material, the changes in the relation of exchangre values of commodities and the pro- tracted period of reconstruction. Public opinion became more or less confused and public policies were difficult to dene. We never knew what monkey wrench would be thrown in nexz. Fallacies have been tried and found wanting", but as a result of these experiences `the var- of producers in this understand each other be`.- ' more effective rn .. ., ._._. ious classes country ter and are : n A'_,, loyality to one s own country inher-E ent in the minds of normal people,` I A I A l l (Continued from page one) the golden rule, by giving first ure- ferenoe *0 those who share our com- mon respon-siJbi1itiers,I we win bring into trading relationships that practi- cal form of service described in the V objects of Kiwanis Clubs.

In the 70's the settlement of this counzry was l21l' Cl}' east of the Great Lakes, the West had not been opened up. For every 100 farmers we had only 23 engageil in other occupations. l\Ianufacturin_L,r did not amount to a _;`reat deal. Farmers were selling: their produce liarg'cl`y in a falling market, succeed'in_: the hiyrh prices of the Civil War in the United States and taking` manu- factured goods in exchange. They were feeling` the pinch of hard zimes. They felt the need of a home market and they d(.~liberatcly entered into a S_\'StClT| under which for a time they would tux zhemselves more in respect to the tliiny.-;s they could not produce but which they had to buy in order to encouray.-`e nianuf-acturin'_e' and di- vei-.-'it_\' of occcupation in the home market, hr.-lievin5_-' that in due course this .~`('llf-lll'lDOSC`(l burden would he removed by lar::e scale competitive production. This result was fairly well achieved in-1901, when for e\'er_\' 100 farmers we had 75 en- ,::i:(-l in other oceupa*ion-s.
