it gets in behind a new movement for the formation of a parent industry conference respecting the support given the new movement in north york for this farmers group the era comments on its own position as follows quite a few good liberals are puzzled about the era and es pecially about the north york farmers let us have a frank talk about this some ask has the era gone u fo they almost shiver at the recollection of the ufo which ran sam footo for the legislature and r w e burnaby for tit commons that movement was feared and opposed by the libera party in north york and liberal who joined in it were regarded with egret suspicion loathing even by certain of their old friends to some of those stalwarts the name of grit is exceeding dear all honour to them for their devotion to a historic and lighting liberalism which had its day and must not cease to be though nowadays we see too little of it occasionally hey seem to forget that this is 1931 they somewhat resemble a fine old liberal warrior whose father repre sented a huron riding at ottawa and who himself has been there for six years we heard him last year at a rally that was designed to put life and punch into the liberal party in a riding adjoining north york almost all his speech was devoted to an exposure of how sir john maedonalds national policy of protection failed to fulfil its provisions between 1s7s and 1s91 when sir john died all good party ammunition a third of a century ago a political party that isnt more modern than that can only become political sepulchre it will be no better than the mail

sport ing events grace elizabeth forham 1 2yearold daughter of mr and mrs edward forham newmarket lost her life in the waters of pre ston lake whitchurch township last wednesday the body of the young girl was found by arthur pepiatt member of newmarket separate school board in seven feet of water about five feet north of the preston docks young grace at the time was at tending the annual picnic of st johns roman catholic church newmarket on her arrival here wednesday afternoon she went al most immediately into the lake to bathe with several other members of the sunday school mr pepiatt along with a duncan kept watch over the swimmers at the time according to mr pepiatt the swimmers left the water about three oclock to participate in a program of racing events it is be lieved by mr pepiatt that young graces clothes had been mislaid and not being able to find them she bad decided to go back into the water the forham girl was seen to go back into the water by two toronto bathers who were not members of the st johns party she had with her an old rubber tube on which she floated her position at that time was about five feet north of the docks when the bystaudors looked a few moments later the girl had disappeared the two women told miss dorothy pepiatt aged 20 and she called her father found body near tube we had completed seven or eight racing events when my daughter came running up to me shouting that one of the children of the sunday school was drowning stated mr pepiatt when i reached the docks i couldnt sec the girl but only the old rubber tube swimm ing out to the tube i found the girls body lying on the bottom directly under the tube mr pepiatt applied artificial res piration until the arrival of dr devins who worked for over two hours without results the body was removed to aurora at the time of the tragedy there wero many bathers in the water mr pepiatt said however none heard grace shout nor did they see her go down tho young girl is one of a family of nine born in newmarket she was in tho junior fourth grade at tho local soparate school and was well liked by nil her associates following n short investigation coroner dr dcvlns decided that an inquest would not be necessary tho remains wero released for burial and removed to newmarket the macleans magazine has this to say in a review of the ontario cabinent ministers regarding hon george s henry premier and member for east york hon g howard ferguson had established himself for some months in london as canadian high commissioner before the people ot ontario were provided with indis putable evidence that he had actu ally ceased to be the big boss ot the province premier henry appointed rt hon arthur meighen a member of tho ontario hydro commission that meant that mr ferguson was definitely out for he would no more appoint mr meighen to an office of honor influence and emolument than he would have appointed hon mr drury mr henry thus indicated that he was not continuing any of the ferguson feuds up to that time matters had proceeded very much as though mr ferguson were still reigning at queens park the ses sion was as uneventful as was to have been expected with the trem endous conservative majority and perhaps even smoother than it would have been had mr ferguson remained at the helm for the cornier premier had a faculty of exasperating his political enemies while mr henry appears to have a faculty of placating them the announcement of the cancer research commission which among its experts a newspaper editor and a clergyman was accepted as imple menting the promise mr ferguson had given when he spoke about the purchase of a supply of radium it was taken for granted that were it not for his promise premier henry would not have appointed the com mission when it was named it was indicateed that the inevitability of rev dr h j cody was to be accepted by mr henry as it had been accepted by mr ferguson consequently it was with some thing of a shock that the oppoint- ment of mr meighen as a hydro commissiouei was received there was then and probably there con tinues to he much speculation as to whether high commissioner ferguson would altogether approve there is no doubt that the public approves and that seems to he enough for mr henry in short ontarios new prime minister has come to the conclusion that the only way one can follow in thefootsteps of another is to go backward or in a circle mr fergu- sons footprints in ontarios politi cal life have come to a stop any further footprints are to be traced in england or perhaps in federal canadian affairs mr henry is mak ing his own prints and solid regular prints they are likely to be all who know him admit that he lacks the color with which mr ferguson has been endowed he is a plain matteroffact man look ing more like a farmer than a university of toronto graduate his chief characteristic is caution carried sometimes to extreme it is difficult to get him to assent or dis sent unreservedly to or from any proposal submitted to him for the first time he is an admirable ad ministrator and his work is build ing highways in ontario at an ex penditure of millions of dollars with not tho suggestion of a dollars worth of graft entitles his to long and grateful remembrance what ever may be his career as prime minister he is respected by his colleagues though he is not par ticularly chummy with them had it come to a vote between him and attorneygeneral price for the party leadership as seemed at one time probable mr henry would have carried all his colleagues with 111
