Ii ®()je /tolj^rlirn a&twiitc^^ VO|. 55 ; NO. 49 WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1936 W. H. THURSTON & SON, Proprietors Large Sums For Militia And Defence • I The budget occupied practically the whole week. A little time was givei. to a discussion of supplementary es- timates. Usually the estimates are [ brought down in two divisions, the main estimates and the supplementar- ] lea, but this year further supplement- ary estimates are added. All told 180 million is to be expended on pub- he works for the relief of unemploy- : ment. Some part of this vote wUl go to finish projects started last year, and the remainder for new under- takings. One gets irritated by listening to huge sums of money being voted through for national defence when, at ^ the suggestion of slum clearance, bet- ter health facilities, pensions for the â- -^ blind and invalided citizens, reduction * of mortgages on property of small holders in rural and urban districts, ' the cry is always raised; "Where is the money to come from?" Yet |13 mil- V lion odd is in the main estimates, and $4,343,000 in the spplementaries for the permanent and non-permanent force. Royal Military College, Cadet services, etc., not taking into account the aviation vote, which is largely civil. It does not make sense to me. We house the Supreme Court of Can- ada in a building that looks like a stone shed and the Bureau of Statis- tics in an unused saw-mill, but we spent last year and are still spendmg millions of dollars for ban-acks and armouries throughout Canada. One government is as guilty as another. In addition to the Defence estim- ates proper, extravagant amounts of money are being spent on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In answer to a question which I put on the Order Paper asking what sum ot money had been spent in the last three years !on R.C^.P. barracks, officers' residences and furnishings of the same, Mr. Lapointe gave a detail- ed answer showing that a toUl of $1,017,000 had been spent. Mr. Bennett in his budget speech reviewed critically the statement of ^ the Finance Minister. He feared the result of the free entry to Canada of goods which tourists from this coun- ' try may bring back when they visit the United States, Great Britain and France. He was critical of the low- , ered tariff on agricultural implements when at the moment a committee is sitting to study the factors entering [ into prices of farm implements. The leader of the Opposition feared thatj the sales tax by its increasing the - cost of consumption goods would hast- en the break-down of the capitalistic . - system. However, until the end of his speech, Mr. Bennett was only mildly critical, but he then used superlative language in painting the fears he en- tertained for Canada because of the yearly loss on the C.N.R. "How much more important than all other prob- lems is the problem of the net loss of $115 million last year!" he said. Later he called it the "cancer that is gnawing at the very vitals of our national life." And at last said that unless the problem of the railway deficit was solved it would bring dis- aster to confederation itself and des- troy the very fabric of this dominion. The comments of Mr. Woodsworth and Mr. Stevens in connection with Canada's railway problem were inter- esting. They both thought that Mr. Bennett was making too much fuss ,* over the railway deficit and neglecting to point out other very large factors in the unbalanced budget. Mr. Woods- worth recalled that the interest burd- en last year was $134% million, or an amount which used up 36.2 per cent, of our total revenue. "I should like to emphasis what a heavy burder that is," the C.C.F. leader said. Elect Bowling Officers The Annual Bowling Club meeting was held on Tuesday, May 8th and the following officers elected for season of 1936: Pres. â€" W. F. Potter. Vice Pres. â€" W. Akitt. Sec. Treas. â€" W. Miller. The fees were set at $5.00 for local members and for full rinks Urom outside points at $10.00 per rink. A rather extensive programme was discussed for the coming season and further plans are pending for a later date when the membership list is complete. Bowling is expected to commence about May 24, depending upon weath- er conditions. A membership committee composed of J. Dargavel, W. F. Potter and Geo. McTavish was appointed for the . pur- pose of obtaining new members for 1936, but the appointment of other committees was also held over until a full membership is entered. Osprey Young Man iGrey Chapter O.E.S. Passes When Injured Instal New Officers By FaUing Barn Door Tragedy overshadowed the Maxwell district on Friday evening last when Norman P^M^bn, aged 22 years, met his death when a door fell on him causing injuries that resulted in his passing two hours later just as tha ambulance arrived at the Markdale hospital. The accident occurred at the farm of Mr. .\Iex. Mc.A.rthur, two miles east of Maxwell on the Collingwood gravel when the unfortunate young man was closing a door that raised and lowered on ropes, in place of swinging, as is the custom with the majority of such entrances. .A.t the instant the ropes broke the victim fell and the 360 pound door pinned j him down across the stomach.

The late Mr. McLachlan was born 4 years ago in the township of Glen- Mr. Stevens commented on the pos- ition taken by the leader of the of- ficial Opposition in respect to the C.N.R. deficit. The people he said are being terrified into a surrender of this valuable asset at less than cost. He warned the House of the trend of affairs in respect to the C.N. R. and said that the critics of the road were grossly overstating the case. "Constant reiteration olf a certain statement will fix it in the public mind until it cannot be re- moved, although it may be untrue." Like Mr. Woodsworth, Mr. Stevens emphasised other elements in the debt situation of Canada. "Out of the in- terest charges indicated in the budget about $80 million are directly due to the war; pensions and civil re-estab- lishment account for $54 million more. These two items add up to $134 million of our present budget." This figure represents no asset, Mr. Stev- ens said, but in the Canadian National Railways we have a magnificent plant. In his judgment the main problems of Canada are unemployment and debt. In speaking briefly to the budget I suggested that since 90 per cent, of all farm porducts other than wheat apples and cheese, was consumed in Canada, it was ridiculous that the 10 per cent, should set the price for the 90 per cent, consumed in the home market. I suggested that the price of farm products should be based up- on the cost of production, including interest and tax charges against the land and wages for the farmer and those of his family who assist him in production. To accomplish this, however, agri- ijultui-e would have to be organized one hundred per cent, and export and , import boards set up. In other words, i it would require definite planning ini agriculture. I expressed the view that conditions would, before long, drive us into the use of large scale, co-operative processing schemes, or would lead to government control or ownership of packing, milling, can-] ning, etc. | I suggested that the greatest pot-j ential market for goods in Canada j was in the homes of the low paid workers, the farmers and the recip- ients of relief. You will see by the papers that Parliament has handsome men, dis- tinguished men and intei'esting men. Mrs. Black and I certainly made a peck of trouble for ourselves when we commented favourably on our coll- eages, but it has been fun and we were in need of some. Today when the Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Mrs. Black's first choice for distinction, stood to put through his National I>eftencp estimates which were being criticised. Tommy Church said: "And yesterday he was a thing of beauty and a jo> for ever!" And was th'e distinguished Minister confused! I enjoyed Mr. Bennett's retort when a reporter ask- ed him what he had to say about me choosing him as the most distinguish- ed man in the House. "I always have respected Miss Macphail's intelligence and goo<l judgment," he said. It shows him a veteran. Denton Massey, the most handsome M. P. says I gave him a bad day.

He walked to the house assisted by Findlay, but his injuries were of such extent that a doctor summoned, gave no hope of sustain- ing life. The Bennett and Richards ambulance was called and the injured man taken to Markdale hospital, but just as they reached that point, life ebbed away.

Her flow- ers were a shower bouquet of Butter- fly roses. She also carried a lovely handmade lace handkerchief, the gift of Mrs. McCartney of Minneapolis. Miss Dora Davis attended her sister, wearing forget-me-not blue net with touches of pink, a matching bandeau in her hair, and carrying a colonial bouquet of pink sweet peas and forget-me-nots.
