The speaker indicateithat there may arise a need for RCâ€"organizaâ€" tion of manpower in Canada to cope with the farm labor probâ€" lem. He reminded that during the last war, urban residents devoted part of each day to helping on the farms, and that in this way farm production was maintained. Such coâ€"operation between the urban and rural peoples would be a valuâ€" able asset at the present time, the agriculture minister told the meetâ€" ing. Hon. Gardiner stated that in the case of elderly farm couples who are "carying on"â€" without assistâ€" ance, and who have an opportunity to selt their farms on terms which will assure them a living for life, should not hesitate.

The price of cattle and hogs is about 40% higher now than then, and the price of dairy proâ€" ducts and eggs is about 50% highâ€" er than during the last month beâ€" fore the war. While prices are now very close to the same level as at this stage in the last war, they have been maintained at a constantly higher level from the beginning of this war until the present time than through the first two years of the This higher level has resulted from the fact that the Department of Agriculture insisted on entering into agreements with Britain conâ€" cerning every product which Briâ€" tain required greater production of. We asked Britain to guarantee that a certain amount would be taken at a certain price. If the price was not high enough to seâ€" cure the production asked for, we insisted on the Government of Canada paying the difference. What Has Been Result? That price is a price at which it pays to feed hogs in Canada at any place and under any conditions where they ought to be fed as sound agricultural policy. The policy followed has secured the production of all the hogs necessary to fill our obligations, and at times so many that we found it difficult to handle them. We are certain that it will proâ€" duce enough to meet our obligaâ€" tion for the third year of the war. We prefer to have more from Onâ€" tario, but if we do not get them we must get them elsewhere.

W.

Majority of defence evidence was based on the fact that Kell{ ?ent from May, 1940, to June, 1941, in ‘Lthe Ontario Hosg‘i:t:l at Hamilton, and that he had n in the mental hospital for several months prior to the Baden bank robbery. Judge Clement said he had "no alterâ€" 'mtivc but to sentence the accused". Robbed Twice In 10 Days |_ Chief crown witness was Larry E. Miller, former manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Baden, which branch has now been closed. The bank was held up. twice within 10 days, but Kelly was charged only with the first robbery. Miller told the court the bandit escaped with $968.15, after trussing him up in the vault. He said he got a clear view of the robber‘s face when he first entered the bank, and that he "positively idenâ€" tified him" in a police lineâ€"up at {:omwall, three or four weeks ater. The bank mano{ler said he went to Cornwall with Inspector A. Palmer of the provincial police, Kitchener, and that he identified Kelly in two lineâ€"ups, despite the fact he was wearing different clothâ€" ing each time.

Questioned by Defence Counsel Paul Dufresne, Galt, Miller denied that police showed him pictures of Kelly, on the way down to Cornâ€" wall. He said police at no time showed him pictures of the accused, nor gave him any assistance in identifying Kelly in the lineâ€"up. . Throughout the trial, the accused.! Kelly, took notes of proceedings, and persisted in giving directions to Defence Counsel Paul Dufresne. At one point, Kelly asked Judge Cleâ€" ment for the firivflege of crossâ€" examining Bank Manager Miller, but his honour rointed out he had hired counsel for this work. He instructed Kelly to instruct Mr. Dufresne regarding the questions he desired to ask. _ > _ "Did you not tell police after viewing the Iim-ug( at Cornwall, that you thought Kelly was the man?" demanded defence counsel. "No, 1 was very definite," replied Miller. ‘"Then why was it necessary to have two lineâ€"ups with Kelly in them ‘o before you?" persisted Counsel Dufresne. _ _ _ _ To make definitely certain," witness replied. $1.00 per Year The Waterloo Theatre and local fire department will hold their anâ€" nual toy matinee on Saturday morninc(Dec.G)mmw-tha.n Manager Douglas att hopes that success of the event will even show will be a used toy.

The clothing bore Montreal â€" trade To Speak on Price Ceiling With Relation to Agriculture "I also found a receipt from a Montreal hotel showing that Kelly had paid for damages done to a room," stated Constable McLeod. "Possibly" Insane Chief defence evidence was fiven by Dr. James Cummings of the Ontario Mental Hospital, Hamilton. who asserted there was "more than a possibility and less than a probaâ€" bility that Kelly was insane on January 10, 1940" (when the robâ€" bery was committed). Dr. Cumming, in reply to quesâ€" tioning by defence counsel, said he believed Kelly would know right from wrong, but that he would have less control over impulses. Waterloo Theatre, Reading from a hospital record, which Dr. Cummings said was corâ€" rect, Defence Counsel Dufresne told the jury that when Kelly en-‘ tered the hospital he was "evasive, sarcastic and had a domineering attitude", that he was restless, pared un and down the word, made silly irrelevent remarks "and feels he is much superior to other perâ€" staff." "Did he say that one of the guards told him to start a riot?" asked defense counsel, and that he was first arrested in Cornwall beâ€" cause he give a $5 tip to a girl in a restaurant for a glass of water?" asked Mr. Dufresne. "He did." replied Dr. Cummings Feels He Was "Framed" 00 Continuing with the report, Mr. Dufresne said "he feels that he was framed and that the officer who took him from Kitchener to a mental hospital had been arrested as a German spy. Then he broke into a discussion about the different brands of beer there are on the market." _ "Yes," stated Dr. Cummings. "That is characteristic of persons suffering from dementia praecox." "Yes," stated Dr. Cummings. "That is characteristic of persons suffering from dementia praecox." "After this he said a physician visited the Kitchener jail, and that he was certain he had a gun in his hand. and did he also inform you that he has information regarding unsolved murders, including the Ambrose Small case, and that he believed that was the reason he was being held?" continued Mr. Dufresne. Dr. Cummings replied Town Firemen in the affirmative. â€" â€" Improved Condition Dr. Cummings said Kel.zewu released from the hospital T he had been given 20 injections. He said his condition had improved, that he was no longer sarcastic and was very hellpful around the ward, and actually sympathized with other patients. "It would be absolutely fair to say Kelly was insane when brought to the hospital. That would be the legal term," stated Dr. Cummings.
