prospects your humble servant was delighted to receive a visit from some intending sellers and would hope to see any of them again tis a tough old world we said to ourselves the other evening it happened that a couple of former goodwood girls visited the scribe but after congratulating him on the goodwood flashes each said not to lot the folks at home know about their visit with us now if that was not a knockout blow and a tough oneon us we were all set for a nice chatty item about their call when the whole thing was dashed to the ground suppose the scribe visited the home village enjoyed an hour with dist mcdonald tom baston or tom dowswell and all the other lads then called on mr the correspondent gee i almost men- itioued his name and advised him that we had a wonderful time

than three toronto readers of the tri bune have asked the correspondent what sort of a looking fellow was the editor some had said they thought they knew him one fellow informed me that mr nolan was a very stout man weighing about 215 lbs after trying to explain as near as possible what mr nolan looked like one fellow said 1 was all wrong so after all the conflan and argu ment i said if possible i would ask the editor to have a cut made of himself for publication in the paper this may sound funny ibut a year ago one fellow thought the editor being a j p must wear a uniform like the town policemen so such for life in a city you dont even know your next door neighbor toronto readers have been wondering why it is that the news from friends in districts around goodwood is not mentioned

that paper under the most recent ownership here is something fur ther from the pen of editor andrew hebb which may not be relish to the hard and fast politician but to people who are open minded on political issues it conveys a lot of truth about the similarity of the old line parties and theres nothing wrong about them being similar either to our way of thinking the era reports while mr bennett was prime minister he called upon other parties to be nonpartisan in their discussion of public policy in other words many of us thought mr bennett wants everyone to support him when he is in power he doesnt like the party system but now mr bennett is in opposition and he has made the same appeal he asks the commons to give mr king reason able support in his efforts to deal with the great problems of the day he asks members to avoid unfair criticism of the government in at least two recent debates mr ben nett has upheld mr king one con cerned social credit in the other debate answering mr woods- worths charge that mr king had constituted himself a kingmaker by not consulting parliament about the abdication of edward mr bennett said i would have acted exactly as mr king did little to disngiwe about mr bennett has not hurt his own reputation at all by his friendliness toward mr king as a matter of fact the two parties have few if any fundamental differences of opinion the king government is proving quite as conservative as the bennett government business conditions are improving and as a university of toronto professor said here in new market recently mr king is play ing in his usual luck mr king is in office during a period of impro- ing trade and he has probably accelerated this improvement by slightly lessening tariff restrictions mr bennett is critical it cannot he said against mr king that he promised anything which he is not giving although there is truth in mr bennetts charge in the course of the social credit debate that mr king did not contradict widespread preelection statements that mr king was in sympathy with the monetary re formers and radicals calling the tune the truth is that governments are all much alike the ontario govern ment is kicking over the traces a bit just as an occasional newspaper kicks over the traces but for the most part governments and news papers cater to those on whose purses they are most dependent the king government caters to the same people to whom the bennett government catered much as fine humanitarians like mr bennett and mr king would like to hold first the interest of farmers and fisher men workingmen and poor men they find the more- welltodo min ority have more votes and that if they wish to serve their country as its prime minister they must pay more attention to the opinions and interests of financiers and in dustrialists lauds social security this article is intended to be about mr bennett and we would conclude with some remarks of his concerning new zealand which he recently visited mr bennett says that now zealands social security program including old ago pensions for all the 40hour week state fire insurance state life insurance started when the government thought private companies charged too much good banking facilities governmentowned railways dental and medical clinics ranks new zealand foremost among the peoples of the world he also stat ed that the farmer puts

deputy reeve fred gardiner forest hill attempted to introduce a resolution which stated that his council views with alarm the increasing costs of administration in view of the fact that certain functions have been taken over by the province the warden dissolved the committee and ruled the resplution out of- order considerable crossfire follow ed but when a vote was demanded on rules of procedure the ruling of the chair was upheld with only four dissenters at this point dr l w dales reeve of newmarket commented certainly we all view with alarm the increasing cost of administra tion but what we have done this afternoon is something that is really deserving it is something that should have been done years ago some of these people have not had salary raises for fifteen years new

the long drawn- out wrangling over hydro affairs was afforded the legislature the other day when hon david croll minister of welfare revealed that the ontario government has com pleted arrangements for a compre hensive housing scheme in the supervised municipalities of the pro vince for a start there will be 560 houses erected in these municipal ities the materials and labor being supplied by the municipalities and the province paying towards the labor costs but the scheme is not for supervised municipalities alone it is open to every municipality in the pronce and it is the govern ments hope that all will take ad vantage of the opportunity to build lowcost homes for working people of moderate means when mr croll explained the purpose of his government to an attentive legislature there was no criticism forthcoming in fact wilfrid heighingtoh the conserva tive member for st davids congratulated the minister on the foresight and courage of the administration in embarking on such a plan in sweden and denmark and other parts of europe practical housing schemes have been in effect for considerable time but on this continent the idea lias not taken hold except in a patchwork way the benefits are numerous first of all it will provide work for unemploy ed artisans and laborers it will stimulate the building industry and it will provide decent sanitary homes for people who need them another great advantage is that it will provide wages not a mere dole for thousands now on relief the beneficial effect on the moral of the jobless will be tremendous the government has experiment ed with a nunvber of houses in york county to get an idea of cost and suitability of the types of houses constructed satisfied that practical homes can bo built for reasonable sums and assured of public interest in the idea the minister of welfare proponent of the scheme from the start has convinced his cabinet colleagues of the wisdom of the plan and now it is about to be con summated on a large scale of course 5c0 homes is only a start year by year it will ho extend cd until every municipality where there is a housing need will have now homes for its people and there is this added feature shacks will be demolished no municipality will be allowed to retain slum homes for every new house built it is the aim of the government to destroy one diseaseridden shack r g
