some of these special wartime nuis ance taxes have beenremoved but many still remain it will be a big day on the way back to economic normality when the fivecent piece is once again sufficient to buy a bottleof soft drink a chocolate bar or a package of gum it would be good finance and goodpolitics to bring the nickle back to par the most famous remark of vicepresident thomas ei marshall was what this country needs is a good fivecent cigar this was later amended by franklin p adams to read what this country needs is a good fivecent nickel v government salaries there is a complaint about salaries or sessional indem nities as they call them at ottawa each member receives 4000 for his eight or ten months at ottawa which will seem mighty good pay to most people who help raise the money from that beginning the salaries for the bigwigs mount the salary of the prime minister is 15000 that of the other ministers 10000 that of the leader of the opposi tion 10000 each member of the cabinet and the leader of the opposition receives the 4000 idemnity as a member of parliament also 2000 in lieu of automobile in addition to salary the governorgenerals salary is 10000 the estimates also usually include an item for office salaries printing stationery and other allowances and for travelling expenses the governorgenerals income is exempt from income tax in canada the income of members of the can adian government is not exempt from income tax should dog owners pay it is strange how little effort is put forth on the part of township councils to collect damages from dog owners when their animals kill or worry sheep we realize that though the owner of the dog is known the municipality is required to pay the owner of the sheep killed the amount of damage ascertained by the live stock valuer after such owner has filed with the clerk an affidavit that to the best of his belief the sheep were killed or injured by a dog or dogs but not by a dog owned by him when the municipality has paid the dnmage it is entitled to recover the amount from the owner of the dog but so few do or even try to collect why situation becoming serious n unless the dipt of education of the government itself at queens park do something about the matter ontario school teachers as a body may be the means of upsetting the new generous grants to schools being made this year by the drew administration as a tax relief measure staffs all oyer the country are resigning almost in a body forcing the hands of boards of education to make sharp increases in salaries above just a normal- increase the ball started rolling in toronto where the generous city body lifted the lid for large and substantial increases which proved the signal for all other members of the profession to get moving fbr more money although salaries were supposed to be frozen in all other lines of employment just now fairly large schools have been stripped to one or two teachers while the remainder of the staff has resigned premier drew in warning boards that they must not go on a spending orgy because of the new grants also said that he had no thought of stopping increases to teachers but did hemean just normal increases or did he envision the present situation abnormally high salaries of course will in the long run react for more and more will be attracted to the pro fession and the time will come when there will be more teachers than jobs and boardswill not forget 1945 perhaps the wise teacher is he or she who remains in a good position at a fair salary that will remain firm in years to come u what will a nickel buy there was a time not too long ago when the smallest canadian coin had a definite value all its own and a nickel was sufficient to satisfy childhoods desires there was according to myth and legend even a fivecent cigar although it was not good s now any fond parent who tries to impress his four- yearold offspring with the value of money can be stumped every time with the question what will a nickel buy daddy there just isnt any answer except to suggestthat the nickel will fit the slot in the mission bank the penny the nickel and the dime are no longer a yardstick of value for the child because the things they used to buy have been taxed out of the five class if they are available at all j nor is the child the only one affected adults still pay three cents for their daily paper but they cannot help but be aware that to the price of many things they must buy something i has been added something officially quebec wives not handling the dough the province of quebec which prohibits a married woman rom maintaining a bank account without the written consent of her husband is exhibiting signs of annoyance because the dominion government recognizing this peculiarity is planning to make the baby bonus cheques payable to the husband in quebec instead of the wife as in other provinces 1 the quebec legislative government should have passed a law to make it similar to that of other provinces so the saturday night thinks but instead preferred to pass a resolution declaring that the dominion cheques ought to be made payable to the husbands the situation in that province where bonus cheques will be sizeable ixi many families is that the wife must drawthe whole cheque in cash or trade it at the corner grocer since she cannot deposit it in her name as sheought to do for future use if the government at ottawa wishes to give the real control of the bonus to the mother as it says they must see to it that quebec women have the right to place the money in bank accounts of course it is really- the duty of the quebec legislature to amend its own law by removing the absurb statue c v7 sunday school wesson lesson for july 1

the earth it has often been pointed out that the hebrew word for god here is elohim the plural form signifying the trinity in deitybut this is linked with a singular verb created because the three persons in the godhead acted together in producing the world and the starry host the original creation was absolutely perfect as we are told in isaiah 45 18 he created it not in vain or void verse 2 theearth was without form and void many scholars render vthis the earth became without form and void this suggests that the once perfect earth was subjected to some terrible cataclysm and so became chaotic andwas wrapped in dark ness if this be correct it may have been in someway connected with the fall of angels how long it re- mained in this state we do not know but when god wasabout to form

for it therefore busy session ahead it is apparent in ottawa that the newly elected representatives of the people may be called together for a session as soon as prepara tions have beeircompleted for such a gathering since the dissolution of the 19th parliament on april 17 had occurred at a time when several important matters were pending including the budget itself in addition to other items hints of changes- in the taxation schedule especially the relief of income tax payments in the lower brackets were given lately and action is now expected to bring such changes into existence then again there are a multitude of other matters of legislation which should be given an airing in the house of commons finally it would not be surprising ifthe new session wouldbe more exciting than any of recent years for the simple reason that the oppositionforces in the new parlia ment will be greatly increased numerically and otherwise with the official opposition being- led by the hon john bracken who has much ammunition to use against the government and backed by forces consisting of no less than sixty odd followers moreover the ccf have increased their sup porters in the house of commons and an unusually large group of independents will be present in other- words the new session will be highly inflammable and no rubber stamp gathering with open predictions in some quarters on
