it hon russel kelley speaking before the kawanisclub in lindsav said i want to see public opinion in favor of two things decentralization of industry and increased population the minister of health ought to know that the greatest and finest industry in this country is the making of boys and girls into young manhood yet the department of education to which he subscribes or does he is moving toward centralization of education can there be anything more ridiculous than to witness the minister of health preaching decentralisation and at the same time another branch of the government to which he belongs is encouraging centralization so keen to centralize is the department of education that they sent out one of their departmental officials specialist on the job to preach the gospel of closing the smaller schools trans porting the children to the larger centres for their education the department head has suggested the closing of a school here costing the taxpayers a hundred thousand dollars in order to send the children to larger schools costing the average taxpayer as much if not more money the department does not recognize the fact that the school is the centre of community life in the district other wise they would not encourage the closing of high schools in centres where their discontinuance will be a material loss to the community life it is to be hoped that the minister of education will take an interest in the smaller districts such as he did when he promised them greater financial help a few years ago and made good on his promise this time we want him to save the village high schools that are capable of graduating students for entrance to university something fine that we have lost the hanover post edited by a family woman regrets that in an age eager to go modern at every turn and to throw into the discard some of the things that brought happiness joy and contentment into the homes of the pioneers of this country says that one of these is the parlor organ it has gone says the post to join a lot of other things that stand for an outmoded way of living a generation ago it says the parlor organ was a treasured part of the family and no family was ever com plete until the organ was acquired often with considerable sacrifice and hard work it brought happiness into the home and also a certain social status for which nothing else had just the same standing on a cold winters night or on a sunday afternoon or evening mother or sister would sit at the organ and play all the old favorite tunes sweet gene vieve seeing nellie home nearer my god to thee rock of ages silver threads among the gold and so on and on it may not have been the great music we hear on the radios of today but the family sang the old folk songs beloved christmas carols the tender hymns and here was home sweet home and everything and everyone seemed safe and secure the radio typically represents modern living the old parlor organ something fine that we have lost friday saturday sept 27- gienie product police cause trouble says doless mcrabbit doless mcrabbit a harebrained canadian is worried about the police inconveniencing those who determine to win strikes by violence he thinks that serious trouble will result if the police do their duty he says that labor manipu lators who take the law into their own hands and prevent people from entering their own premises by besieging plants and menacing homes will resent ana resist any efforts by police to restore the rights of citizens and to protect their lives there always has been and always will be trouble when the public insists upon law and order in a strike situation said doless he continued with increasing warmth the public had better get wise to the fact that union tactics are to suspend law and order and to abolish supply and demand for labor any attempt to maintain the right to work or to operate plants will result in violence- the police might well realize that they will cause trouble if they get any funny ideas about protecting workers or anybody else who wants to exercise his rights doless favors the lawless policy of sam lawrence mayor of hamilton he regards anyone as an antilabor troublemaker who agrees with the late hon norman rogers who said when he was minister of labor a gov ernment that yields to threats what it cannot concede to reason has already abdicated stop kidding yourself we canadians are a funny lot first we demand that the government at ottawa reduce its terrifically high budget which hasnt lessened much since the peak of the war and in the same breath when the government announces a discontinuance of milk subsidies we set up a terrific howl of course there is a difference between paying subsidies of that kind and paying salaries to thousands of men and women who should be dropped from the govern ment service a fact which the financial post did not point out in their editorial columns last week in deploring a con tinuance of the milk bonus certainly as the post points out it would be better for us to pay a cent of two more to the milk man than to have it paid by mr ilsley who in turn collects it from the milk consumers yet it is not too objectionable such as the heavy income tax that helps maintain thousands on gov ernment war time pay rolls when their services could be dispensed with our capital correspondent written exclusively for the stouffville tribune by m l schwartz although it is some time now that a 29yearold garage operator had won almost singlehanded prob ably one of the largest counties seats in a byelection marked by a very light vote of about 55 percent of the voters against the heavy fire works of the major political forces yet the eftects are only now being felt on parliament hill where this or the other byelections in toronto parkdale and portage la prairie are not considered here to offer any crucial test for the king govern ment since it has a definitely safe majority however speculation is alive in ottawa now that the long awaited cabinet reorganization promised by premier king himself may find that such changes will possibly not call for new tests or other byelections at this time when protest votes are growing such as in pontiac byelection because there in 1915 the king government won a majority of over 7000 though it is emphasized in this capital that per haps the winning candidate had obtained many of the bloc popu- laire votes of 1 is5 rather than any of the major parties since the nationalistic elements in quebec were more inclined to the winning candidate than the others it is reported in ottawa that the main objective of the new canada savings bond campaign is not to obtain any budgetary requirements but rather merely to provide a plan for the investment by the general public of their savings in govern ment securities during peacetime this lieing important and it is being mentioned now in order to avoid many misinterpretations of the pur pose of the whole drive that is why it is being sold only to individ uals and limited in amount in addition one of the reasons for the which accompanied the various victory loan campaigns especially without the patriotic or emotional background with the comment that the weaknesses of the stock mar kets in various directions lately may prove most inducive for many people to buy government securities of this kind on account of their safety and soundness notwithstanding the current severe shortage of wrapping paper and paper bags in all parts of can ada yet it is indicated in this capi tal that conditions in this regard will not improve in the immediate future if it does not become worse on account of the necessary divert ing last july basic kraft paper from the manufacture of wrapping paper paper bags
