"WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1932 THE FLESHBRTON ADVANCE News Of Parliament (Continued from page 4) either possible or desirable to trans- plant the Russian system entire into Canada. But the Soviets had cer- tainly found something that was work- ing, and Mr. Speakman saw no reason why we should not take ideas fro that source as well as any other. He protested against the belief that "H we only endure long enough, if we only tighten our belts a little tighter, if we only economize a little more or eat or drink or use a little less, in some mysterious, miraculous way things will right themselves." Thingrs don't; intelligence is the only way of righting them. Mr. Stevens still protested that hi could not find one practical tion in the resolution. Planned economy in an individualistic country like Canada would not work; human selfishness would prevent any such dourse being taken. Mr. Stevens does not take account of the fact that it was precisely human selfishness which brought affairs to a head in Russia and which ushered in the new regime and its planned economy. And then, having mentioned some addit- ional stumbling blocks, Mr. Stevens stated that the government would take the resolution into consideration. Mr. Lucas seconded the resolution, saying that paradoxically enough, the one bright spot he saw was the depres- ion itself. Its magnitude might force z solution, saying that the way to avoid future depressions was to plan MASQUERADE will be held in the Flesherlon Skating Rink THUR, FEBRUARY 18 with prizes to be given as follows: BEST SKATING COUPLE BEST LADY SKATER BEST GENT SKATER BEST CLOWN BEST MISS CANADA BEST GYPSY ST.

Akitt, Manager our economic life now in such a way as to make impossible the recurrence oif the present chaos. lie gave many illustrations of the wastefulness of Uu present capitalist system of Russia Mr. Woodsworth dealt at some length with the new economic system of Russia, as being the only existing example of a state with the planned economy. Here, in Canada we al- ready have plenty of capital equip- ment for our present needs; Russia had to create that before she could hope for a measure of success. But she came through her many difficul- ties and now she is beginning to get results. We would do well to watch j her methods. Mr. Speakman's res- olution was accepted by the govern- ment. Another issue of importance was raised by Mr. Donnelly, Liberal mem- ber from Saskatchewan. He claimed that, due to the raising of the tariff, the price o* gasoline m Canada had become much higher than in the United States. In his present fin- ancial straits the farmer cannot af- ford the increased price. Mr. Neill said that the same thing was true of the west coast fishermen. The mat- ter was referred to the committee o- banking and commerce. An event of interest was the maide r speech of Mr. Humphrey Mitchell, Labor victor in Hamilton. He brought up the question of election funds with special reference to the Beauharnois scandal. Observing that both Lib- eral and Conservative parties were implicated in that affair, he pressed for an investigation into the whole matter. Mr. King and Mr. Bennett indulged for a few moments in mutual recriminations. And Mr. Bennett again showed himself a master in the gentle art of stalling for time. Mr. Cahan Secretary of State revealed the rathei interesting information that he had boon greatly hampered in his owr, electio" in Montreal by both civic and provincial police. Finally the Houst decided that the matter should be investigated by a committee during the present session. MISS A. C.

In the high wind one of the high tension wires strung lower down on the poles. This caused the power to ahoot back into the local sub-station by means of the- telephone wires, and the "juice" was racing outside the sub-station, caus- injr a wonderful illumination ana spluttering with a great noise like steam escaping. Numerous residents thought there was a fire on seeing the reflection shine in their window Chas. Murcar, local hydro lineman pulled the switch outside the sub- station and relieved the trouble There was little harm done and hydrc lin-emen repaired the break in tht high tension line with the customer} promptness.

An Attractive Home "Oh, what an opportunity if I only had the time!" This is the remark of a lady visitor at the Ontario Agri- cultural College recently. She had come to the College to make enquiry about certain perennial* which she wished to plant in the yard of hei farm home, and was told about the short course of instruction in land- scape gardening to be given at th< College from Feb. 15th to 19th. On looking ovrr the program of this short course she saw that there were to be instructions and demonstrations in Kimlon planning and the selection of the most suitable kinds of trees, shrub* and flowers, and she longed to take the course. The opportunity is there for her and many others, and no better way could be found for farm women, ot men either for that matter, to spend a happy, interesting week in the mid- dle of winter in studying and making plans for the beautification of theii farm homes so that their lives might be more enjoyable in the years to omo. All persons interested in this course ihould understand that there is no barge for instruction and that a pro- rram of the course may be had for the asking.

AMERICA AND JAPAN A British General has said that only the death of one American Bailoi at the hands of a Japanese sailor, soldier or airman," is necessary to cause a great war in the East. Per- haps. The statement reminds the writer of a somewhat different feel- ing in the American army when he shouldered a gun for Uncle Sam. It was in the Philippine Islands, and it was the general opinion among the enlisted men that the Army Depart- ment at Washington throught mort of the mules than the men. "Take care of those mules," was the cry. "We can .get lots of soldiers, but a mule down here is worth $700." Durham Chronicle.
