stouffville ontario july 4th 1934 local option the supreme court of canada has ruled that the counties of peel huron and perth are governed by the old canada temperance act which will make these counties dry unless the people vote other wise premier hepburn on the other hand says he will appeal the ruling to the privy council this will cost the province thousands of dollars and what for if the three counties are ruled dry by the highest court in canada with the stipulation that they may become wet through a vote of the people why not let the pcoplo of peel huron and perth do their own saying through the ballot box it seems to us folly to waste another cent on this case because even if the premier obtained a wet decision berore the privy council the people may then turn about and vote the cursed liquor out of the counties concerned no depression apparent here the parliament of canada has just voted a cash sum of 50000 to the widow of the late sir arthur currie as a recognition of his war service both old parties supported the measure in making the gift with mr wadsworth and a few of his followers in opposition mr wadsworth pointed to the thousands of soldiers who had sacrificed their ail in the great war and are today in desperate circum stances with no government help iall are invited to be guests of york mp births sibly to mr and mrs l w sibly on wednesday june

a losing game financial ly for the board which is now try- iing to collect the principal and arrears of interest by foreclosure sales the borrowers were able to secure much too large loans on their farms we asked a clerk in the agr develop bd a few years ago when the loans had got around the fifty million mark why more applicants for loans were not refused such large advances more than the properties were valued at by in spectors the answer returned was 1many of the applicants were turn ed down at first but they came back with their provincial members and brought political pressure to bear on the department and the loans went through and see what a mess has been made of the dept going into the loaning business in one issue of dunns bulletin which comes daily to bankers and all financial houses we were shown a copy of one issue in which there were two pages of notices of chattel mortgages and 35 of these were against farmers by the agricultural development board one of these chattel mortgages was for the largo sum of 10352 and another for 12307 apparently the board has added the farm and chattel en cumbrances together in one blanket chattel mortgage and the financial wreck of those farmers is not hard to foresee in regard to the farmers credi tors arrangement the act is quite favorable to the farmer who is pay ing a high rate of interest on a large mortgage and is in arrears or inter est but those who are taking ad vantage of the act might as well make up their minds if they want future loans they had better arrange to get the cash from pri vate parties if possible because bankers are refusing loans to all who get relief from their creditors in the whole list of those against whom chattel mortgages were corded in dunns bulletin not one was against a

give the rostmasterueneral authority to re new contract for rural mail deliv ery without calling for tenders the usual contract extends over rour years and it has been the practice if the mail carrier

urban districts the latter to include the city of toronto was advocated by york county council by a vote of 31 to 20 last week the councils proposal will be for warded immediately to the provin cial committee investigating secon dary education costs for consider ation if approved of by that com mittee it will come before the fall session of the house the educational committee who sponsored this suggestion in its re port pointed out that the two new boards if formed would bear its own cost in full less provincial grants recreate problem deputyreeve dr gordon hyland one of the strongest opponents to the resolution declared it was the thin edge of the wedge of a metro politan area once this area is created people will only start mov ing outside and erecting shacks and you will have the same old problem all over again if we supported dr hylands attitude we would be back in muddy york retorted deputyreeve marsh imngwood such an attitude means no progress council almost unanimously ap proved of its educational com mittees recommendation to have the county resume paying 50 per cent of the cost of vocational and technical education of county pupils attending city and vocational schools by this action hundreds of children will be allowed to con tinue their vocational training with a good portion of the cost being loaded on the northern municipali ties which cannot take advantage of the schools stopped payments one year and a half ago county council decided that it would no longer bear half the cost of voca tional education of its pupils in city schools and instructed their muni cipalities that pupils wishing such an education could obtain it at weston this caused considerable agitation among ratepayers and associations and at the request of the provincial government the county consented to continue to pay for vocational- training until june of this year in the meantime its educational committee made a thorough study of the situation and it was decided that it would not be any saving to the county to have the pupils attend weston last weeks political gossip con tains the usual assortment of facts and fancies with no way to separ ate one from the other here is the current crop of rumors the ciosing up of the govern ment ranks followed an ultimatum from mr bennett to his followers irked by the outbreak of dr manion annoyed by the cheers for mr stevens the pm told his followers that they were either for him and him alone 100 per cent or they would be regarded as against him if there were any more signs of disaffection he would resign and advise the governorgeneral to all upon mir king to form a national government mr stevens is being strongly backed by a former conservative minister of trade and commerce mr bennetts wheat bill has back fired politically in the west those who supported it were certain it would deliver saskatchewan at least to the conservatives but the op position to regimentation of the wheat farmers has been stronger than expected mr hepburn sold 200oo000 of ibonds but less than 200000 were bought by small investors and the man in the back townships he spent many hours on the telephone selling
