betty moddle owing to the heavy snow fall of last week our mail man was not able to pick up the news budget at flesherton they have very little snow compared with our amount while in some parts of king they have much more than we have seldom seen last time old josh addressed your readers an attempt was made to sketch a few of the famous es tates in england and the empire the socalled easyjnoney estates created by the crown and we said that the sooner such favourites were wiped off the better pleased would be the rank and file of peo ple who in the long run have to pay now we come to a rich mans estate in canada and notwithstand ing anything said in the bible a- bout it being easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than to enter heaven we do hope that sir william mulock passed through the portals hailed as the great man we believed him to be sir william was a rich man and he drew heavily oli the public pur se during his long life which no doubt had much to do with him a- massing the fortune of a multimil lionaire but what burns up the common man is after having so much wealth the government goes on and adds to that wealth by bes towing on such men the largest pensions paid by the governments- a pension in this case that exceed ed we believe the income of sever al socalled best farmers in our township sir williams keen mind and his political connection brought him to the front rank but always with substantial emolument for his services so we ask why do govern ments go on and add to this after retirement we always did protest against such men being paid a retiring al lowance greater in size than any farmers could earn off five good farms why a few years ago yes quite a few i recall a roundtable conference over the cracker barrel at the corner store when sir wil liam was retired on pension and i can see the eyes of the lads there fairly snapping when i told them the size of the pension it was a look of disgust and anger you see common folk do not approve of the system whereby much gets more and little gets less yes that was quite a few years ago yet today the same feeling felt within the breast is stronger than ever in canada we hope it is not a feeling of jealousy against the rich but one that craves the idea that wealth should be spread more we have stepped forward some for i read that sir williams estate will be reduced 600000 by success ion duties but even that is not large enough to tax such an es tate in our humble opinion and you bet if the ccf come into power they will take more so you grits and torys better step up your figures smartly and thus keep in line with popular opinion mrs josh is calling for the third time to get going on the chores its sunday afternoon four oclock and a pretty dreary day for the last one of 1944 thus before i pick up the milk pail and hi for the barn i bid you all good luck and good going in 1945 old josh reunited in australia wptb questions please send your questions or your request for the pamphlet consumers news mentioning the name of this paper ij q my husband and i rent two rooms in a house and the land lord has refused to allow us to have any visitors when mem bers of our own family call he asks them to leave is he allow ed to do this a there is no board regulation covering such matters this would be an arrangement bet- tween the landlord and tenant there is no reason why the landlord should unnecessarily restrict your entertaining q i was trying to purchase a small radio last week and found one in a radio store pric ed at 30 i am sure the price of this radio new was about 20 it has been reconditioned and in fairly good shape can they ask such a high price for a second hand article a no we think you were asked to pay too much from your de- i scription this appears to be an ac midget set which has a maximum selling price when sold by a dealer of 2250 as you gave us the name and ad dress of the shop we have turn ed your letter over for immedi- 1 ate investigation q my son has been in the rca f for some time and has now been transferred to the reserve his last station would not issue a ration card as he was 1 no longer in the airforce how 1 can i obtain one for him a the station is quite correct in refusing to issue the ration card in this case your son is not entitled to a service ration card but is entitled to a civilian ration book he will obtain this by applying to his local ration board and presenting his dis- charge certificate 1 q i wish to exchange some christmas gifts and am told there is a board regulation which states that no exchanges may be made is this correct a no the regulation concerning exchanges deliveries etc has been lifted whether or not you may exchange merchan dise is a t matter to be decided by the individual store keeper most shops have their own regulations regarding such mat ters q i bought a number of books re cently and find the price very much higher than in previous years is there no ceiling on such things a the books you mentioned in your letter are printed in the united states we have no control over the price there is however a ceiling price on books printed in canada married for three hours
