minister of municipal affairs for ontario to take immediate drastic action to collect its tax arrears out of a total of 812 property owners no less than 359 are in arrears with 62 of these three or more years in arrears the town owes the bank 61000 for which it holds worth while security of 58000 according to the deputy minister tax arrears total 73000 of which 15000 are doubtful may or ross strike says that the subject of tax arrears has given the town its greatest problem and worry most of the councils time has been spent in trying to reach a solution and while steps have been taken to make a collection every possible leniency has beeu shown a kindness that has perhaps reacted against rather than for the taxpayer this paper is in hearty accord with the announcement by hon duncan marshall minister of ag riculture that the rate of interest by the agricultural development hoard had been reduced from 5 to 4 pc this will force the paring down ot loans by all mortgage companies there are 49 millions out in govern ment loans and farmers have found the interest payments hard to meet in some instances it has been found necessary to offer the farms for sale for arrears by public auction the reduced rate of interest applies to those who have had loans as well as to those who are granted loans on first mortgages the reduction in interest on loans from the develop ment board will be welcomed by the is 000 farmers who have been at their wits end during these days of low prices for farm produce and high taxes to meet their payments also by those who find it necessary to

widespread favor is opposed by the post as set out in an article las week which says it emerged from the meeting last week of the riding representa tives of liberal clubs that lyman kennedy would lace the convention for the selection of a federal candi date mr john redmond veteran and highly esteemed liberal pioneer was the man whose voice most effectively iuduced mr kennedy t lace the convention as it has been understood that mr kennedy had no aspirations in that way mr redmond spoke of mr kennedy as a man whom the olliee is seeking and that sentiment seem ed endorsed by a member of the birch cliff club most active in push ing mr kennedy to the fore asked by the post what were mr kennedys political qualifica tions for the gruelling campaign of this year mr moore said that mr kennedy had not expressed his views and beyond tne fact that he is well known as a life long liberal and is well liked mr moore would not go as a result of the new legislation but not actually using the machinery provided voluntary so far so far the cases settled have been purely on a voluntary basis both sides after a full explanation of the situation before one of the local re ceivers mutually agreeing on a com promise the real test of the act will come when the far larger proportian of unsettled eases comes before the boards of review whose decisions aro to be regarded as final these boards have power to scale down debts both as to principal and interest and their decision is to bo final with no appeal moreover according to mr macpherson no challenge from the mortgage or implement companies chiefly affected by the legislation is expected 1 lesitat ion disappearing at first stated mr macpherson there was some hesitation on the part of both debtor and creditor to take advantage of the new legisla tion farmers were reluctant to bring their private affair before the receivers they regarded the debts as their own personal affairs there was fear that these settle ments would be advertised and would later form the basis of much it happens that the post had an i local gossip however officials en- interview with mr kennedy shortly forcing the act seem to have over- after the provincial election on this i come most of these difficulties no matter mr kennedy as far as advertisements appear except in the the proper care of your automobile care of the finish all automobile finishes become dull and faded when they are exposed to the weather for a few months the ultraviolet rays of the sun gradually disintegrate tiie filmforming ingredients in the finish causing the loosening of tiny particle of pigment commonly called chalking or weathering this results in the roughening of the originally smooth and glossy finish thee tiny particles of pigment together with an accumulation of dust and dirt gather on the surface of the car forming a thin hard coating which we call traffic film next selecting it is a mistake to believe how ever that when this film has formed over the finish causing it to appear dull and faded that the only thing that will bring it back is re-finhh- ing of course if the weathering has been permitted to progress until it has penetrued through to the un dercoats ivfinishing is necessary but just as long as there is a layer of the original finish on the car it can be restored by polishing most cars just need the removal of tha traffic film and the application of a correctly formulated polish to renew the lustre of the finish the right polkh very we could see reflects the best tradi tions of the oldtime liberal his explanation ot the present impasse in life is that we have lived too high and piled up debts that must be paid now according to mr kennedy douglas social credit is a lot of nonsense and he personally has no use for either its premises or conclusions apparently nothing more is needed than lower tariffs on all that the farmer buys and better prices for all that the farmer sells l in view of these facts drawn from mr kennedy the post does not feel very enthusiastic about mr kennedys possible nomination ho seems to have signally failed to realize that our problems are basi cally economic not political nor does he seem aware that canadas major problem is one of consumption and that the more we work and save the more we reduce consump tion and at the same time increase production unless mr kennedy has a very recent enlightenent it is the fore cast of the post that lie will be so badly beaten in the election if he does secure nomination that a steam shovel will be needed to dig him out people of east york mast have a member of the commons who know- something about the basic facts of economic and public finance and who has a great cause at heart for which to crusade in and out of season mr kennedy has many admirable quali ties as a citizen but he apparently has no cause beyond his extreme loyalty to what ho considers to still be the liberal party it is in the mind of the post thnt what mr kennedy regards as the liberal party died away back in the nine ties and that he is fundamentally out of touch with the big move ments of the liberl party today quite regardless of his lifelong affiliation with a party liberal called no case for relief funds official government gazettes which i have not any general circulation i hearings are strictly private and the information divulged is treated con fidentially as a result there is now an indication that settlements will come forward very freely perhaps too freely snags on the creditors part there was also reluctance the implement manufacturers who already claim to have made heavy sacrifices were loath to cut debts still farther and there was also some lack of cooper ation it is understood on the part of mortgage holders that too is dis appearing it is stated though a snag has been encountered in ontario where the agricultural development board which holds over 5000 00 00 in ontario farm mortgages has so far refused to make any concessions it has also refused to be represented on the boards of review or before the local receivers this lack of provincial coopera tion uncovers perhaps the chief stumbling block of the new legisla tion no debts apparently can be arbitrarily scaled down without the approval and cooperation of the provincial authorities and there is friction between the two forces in many of the provinces local receivers were all appointed by tlit federal government and the charge has been made on several occasions that this was done on a political basis as they receive a sal ary of 150 per month naturally tire job might bo considered a politi cal plum or even a larger sort of fruit in the poorer districts where jobs and cash are scarcer there was a suggestion at first that remunera tion would be based on a flat fee for each case this was dropped however on the ground that the work might he rushed in an effort to pile up income and treatment of individual cases would suffer the receivers would be faced with the same temptation as the small town traffic policeman whoso salary is paid ot of motorists fines hi w coach cars iour service times on the stpatrts- plan tickets time tables and

burdensome debts but also to give the farmer a fresh start thus when the debts had been consolidat ed and written down to a point where there was some home of repayment it was often found that the farmer lacked working capital and even with his reduced overhead was in no position to go ahead there might be no really serviceable im plements or no cash for livestock seed or other necessities in this case it was hoped that the provincial farm loan boards would come forward and make a cash loan up to two thirds the present value of tha rami bui ontario and saskatchewan the two most important farm prov inces lack such boards at present proceedings simple so far tho working of tho legisla tion is simple tho farmer notifies the authorities that he wants to make a settlement and a stay of sixty days is provided to allow creditors and debtors to get togother then tho local receiver calls a meeting with all creditors invited tcmeet tho debtor tha whole case is reviewed t is the duty of the reeve of debts are classified and totalled and markham township to report the an estimate based on past pcrform- parents to the proper authorities i anco over a period of years is made charging them with nonsupport orjof tho earning power of the proper- such other charge as will ensure tho ty in the case of secured debts any money they receive each month be- scaling down by the receiver must ing spent on the family be on a purely voluntary basis the it was brought to light in mark- ham township the other day that a family which was receiving pension in the home amounting to 70 per month had also obtained relief at the expense of the farmers of the township exdeputyreeve win clark took reeve padgett to task for handing out relief to this family so well cared for by the state the reeves j defense was that ho had visited the home in question and found it without fuel and promptly ordered i a quantity he said he was willing to pay for it himself if the council refused to do so he could not see children going hungry and cold surely it is not the responsibility of tho township relief committee to attend such cases as this at all this family were not in need ot money with 70 per month coming in the officers of the law or childrens aid society should he called in and the children taken from them it is not charity to give to such people but just an exten sion of waste and all at the hands of the hardworking farmers who will register strong objections to having their money spent in this way unsecured bills owing to the butcher the baker and the doctor have not as good a chance and usually must depend upon the goodwill and good name of the debtor inividual settlements settlements are on an individual basis each debtor is considered separately and each item of debt is also considered separately if an automobile is involved and the farmer can get along without it the simplest course will be to let the car go back to the original owner but if it is a case of a farm imple ment and the earning value of the property would be affected pro vision is usually ade for the farmer to retain it then again in the case of land the board may decide that the farmer is trying to handle too much many farmers expanded their holdings dur ing the era of 2 wheat and 24 hogs some debts represent real cash and others merely a land sale at what is now considered an inflat ed value the practice of individual settle- nients it was pointed out to officials jin charge of the legislation might rc- sult in much apparently uneven i treatment which in turn might lleave a trail of criticism when the debtors got together afterwards and compared notes rural school teacher an important personage the rural school maam does not always get her just due now and again the story goes that she has fallen out with a couple of the trus tees and must go and in many cases does go but after all she has a lino place in the community and in the press a fine champion let us illu strate the latter statement by quot ing editor hugh templln of the fergus newsrecord he knows and goes on to tell that the news from the rural districts has recently con tained many stories of presentations to school teachers who aro leaving to teach in other schools or to enter tho holy bonds of matrimony as the presentation address puts it wc note not only tho presentations and the fine gifts that have been handed to many of the teachers but we also read with particular interest tho addresses prepared for such occasion obviously the rural school teach er occupies a very important place in the community she may become just about the most important per son in it though financially some of the landowners completely over shadow her but the teacher has an influence which few others possess it isnt only that she teaches the young that is only a smart part ot the rural teachers work she has a good education she ranks witli the minister when it comes to looking after the local library or the more important entertainment such as amateur plays she has the energy to organize all kinds of local amusements including the annual christmas concert and the june picnic in fact so numerous are her duties that its a wonder she finds lime to teach at all and yet in spite of these handicaps she manages six or eight different classes covering all the work from the primer to the entrance class and not infrequently her brighter- scholars stand up with tho best from the town schools when they pass the entrance tests it is no wonder the country teacher leaves a big vacant spot when she leaves the section and thats why she is presented with complimentary addresses and floor lamps or library tables or sets of shakespeares works and other things befitting highly educated persons blaise pascal
