stratford beaconhera 1 says right now the tax on gasoline in england is 16 cents per gallon and of course that makes it expensive to operate a motor car on top of that there is the annual license of one pound per horse power so it is that people are turning again to tandem bicycles thirty years ago or so the tan dem bicycle was quite a common thing in this country it was glori fied by one of the most popular songs of the day part of which ran like this if we remember it correctly daisy daisy give me your answer true im halt crazy all for the love of you it wont be a stylish marriage we cant afford a carriage but youll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two the alliston herald last week said tftat the local mathematicians were busy there estimating the cost of ringing the town bell accord ing to the oldest residents of the simcoe town the bell was placed in the town hall in 1s92 and it is 39 years since it was installed at 15 per month the cost of ringing morning noon and night alliston has paid out s7000 for this little service and convenience to the public tlie paper points put that a much smaller sum would have in stalled a town clock you are quite right alliston in stouffville a fine tower clock has just been installed for 2000 as a gift to the com munity prior to this however it is estimated that stouffville paid out s2500 ringing a town bell for thirty years or more the annual charge here was 120 although when it was first rung the charge per year we are informed was much lower the potato situation in an effort to improve the pre sent potato situation the ontario marketing board has sent a letter to every mayor in the towns and cities of ontario urging the pur chase of potatoes for relief work at the present bargain prices it is pointed out that many munieipali ties will have to buy supplies to feed unemployed this winter and where this will be necessary much money can be saved by taking ad vantage of the very low figures prices run all the way from 15c to uoe per bag just now not only should immediate purchasing be of very direct value to the relief committee buying now but it is also stated such purchasing will have an indirect benefit also as this sort of thing should help the farmer and therefore the whole country the ontario marketing board still maintains there is no surplus of potatoes in ontario if we take into consideration the fact that this province normally im ports a couple of thousand carloads every year the annual hunting season has rolled around once mote and nimrods from all over the country have flocking to the woodlands of tlie north in search of wild game there is a certain fascination in taking a gun under ones arm and following the hounds and persons who never think of taking a vaca tion at any other time make their annual pilgrimages to the north there is one unfortunate aspect of the hunting season in that it rarely fails to take its toll of human life through accidents of one form or anothor many sad stories have come out of the northern hunter- lands stories of men being mistaken for deer of guns discharging while their owners are getting into or out of boats or making their way through the underbrush it might seem unfair to ascribe these acci dents to carelessness but there is no denying the fact that a great deal more care could be exercised before entering tlie hunting grounds a man should be well schooled in the art of handling fire arms particularly when carrying loaded weapons ovor fences or through underbrush and with the number of deer in the woods there should be little excuse for a man taking a pot shot at some moving object without first making very certain that it is not a fellow hunter pickering council ringwood harry ratcliff our long distance trucker

million dollars a year oil frydcial taxes says financial post canadians have watched riovern- nieutal financial crises develop in other countries all over south america in australia in newfound land and in various parts of europe and have been congratulating themselves upon escaping such a calamity in canada but it la not certain that we have escaped it the other day one of the leading invest ment rating services of the conti nent reduced its ratings on canadian government and provincial bonds from the highest grade to the next lower bracket an event of consider able significance and indicative of the fact that our government securi ties are no longer regarded by american investors and financial institutions as the premier foreign issues of the world while ottawa officially denies that any request for a credit in new vork was turn ed down it is well known that can adian bonds are not popular in that market and will not regain theli former premier position there until we can begin to make our revenues meet our expenses a somewhat dis tant prospect with present policies toward unemployment relief public works wheat bonuses maintenance of civil service personnel and salaries etc canadian business men and tax payers are right in feeling that the condition of our national finances is not entirely the product of the world economic crisis but that it has been intensified by an unwar ranted policy of public spending initiated by previous governments and continued by the present one it would be possible to slash a hundred million a year off federal government costs even more it might mean scrapping wheat bon uses farm loans and other paternal fads it might mean cessation of work on such jobs as the hudsons bay railway port extensions and the national highway it might mean giving up the present collos- sally extravagant system of em ployment relief in favor of straight assistance to those in need it might mean a cut in civil service
