Australia is keeping her soldiers at home for a number of reasons, one of which probably being because she is a neighbour of Japan. If all Ottawa was busy on governâ€" ment work up to the present it will certainly take at least two divisions extra to check and‘file all these new forms that must be filled out.

Those coming between 90 and a 100 are a hybrid variety mixing fair golf with some competent lying, and a fairâ€" ly comprehensive loss of memory in embarrassing situations. Golfers who shoot between 100 and 120 represent the masses because they admit a score that most golfers shoot but do not admit and if you can find anybody putting down a score of more than 120 you have found what Socrates failed to findâ€"you have found an honest man. The ingenuity of golfers was taxed beyond endurance when they not only had to make the number of strokes jibe with their idea of how well they thought they should play the game, but they also had to take the handicapn menace into consideration. Then came the "kickers‘ handicap," in which as far as we could ever unâ€" derstand, you pick your own handicap, go out and shoot a game as near to the figure you have decided as possible (and there is no reason why it should not be close because you decided on it yourself). Turn in the score. and pray. But golf was ruined by the innovaâ€" tion of a handicap. A number is then drawn from a hat and the golfer whose average of score and guess, comes closest to the numâ€" ber drawn from the hat, wins the tourâ€" nament.

Horton, deputy minister of the departâ€" ment of public welfare and municipal affairs, the Ontario government alâ€" ready has twb very definite plans of action which are to go into operation at once. They are: Under the "Vacant Land Cultivation Amendment Act, 1939," passed at last week‘s special session of the Ontario Legislature, details of which have alâ€" ready been widely published, relief reâ€" ciptents must produce garden produce om special plots of land which will be allotted them by district or municipal relief offices. Failure to comply with this will immediately cost an indigent family its government support. Underâ€" the woodâ€"cutting scheme, which is to be put into operation through Northern Ontario, the same conditions prevail. An employable or partially employable man receiving reâ€" lief will be required to work it out cutâ€" ting wood for fuel supply of welfare families in all parts of Ontario. Any opposition or passive resistance or shirking on the part of the employable relief recipients in the woodâ€"cutting plan, will mean that the recalcitrant will be deprived of all relief, both for himself and his family. No Shirkers "There can be no shirkers in relief ranks, no more than there can be in any cther group of people in the proâ€" North Bay, Sept. 27. â€"Girding for war, Queen‘s Park is pressing into proâ€" duction every employable and partially employvable man on relief in the proâ€" vince. 2. Heads of relief families in the Northland are to te prepared for a call which may come at any time in the immediate future, to go out in _angs into the bush and cut, haul ana ship hardwood south, for the fuel supâ€" ply of families on the welfare rolls in all sections of the province. Outlined Plans The deputy minister detailed the department‘s plans when he conferred Saturday in the city here with Northâ€" ern Ontario relief heads. 1.

"Price of domestic coalâ€"fuel from Alberta and Nova Scotiaâ€"has also adâ€" vanced, and the department fears it will continue to rise," said Mr. Horton. Relief families in Northern Ontario in past winters have used wood for heating, but is not the case in southâ€" ern, central and western Ontario, reâ€" moved from the North‘s source of supâ€" ply. And it is for the joint benefit of these former coalâ€"burning relief famâ€" ilies of the south and the elimination of a heavier drain on provincial funds through increased coal prices, that the woodâ€"cuttin@ plan will be put into cperation, explained Mr. Horton. Not Much Expense As the department of welfare sees it, the only heavy expense in the plan will be the transportation, and rate concessions from the railways is exâ€" pected to ease that burden. Woodâ€"cutting operations will be started first in the North Bay district to be quickly followed up in the Sudâ€" bury district and cther sections of the North. Shipments from North Bay, drawn from a source of supply which Mr. Horton said for the time bein: must remain undisclosed, are to start for the south shortly. @ueen‘s Park hopes to get special rate concessions from the railways. said the deputy minister. No bush camps are to be established he explained. Woodâ€"cutting relief reâ€" cipients will be trucked out daily to the scene of operations and brought back to their homes in the city at night. A similar arrangement will later go into effect in the Sudbury district. Must Be Ready While there will be no immediate movement of men to the bush, emâ€" ployables on relief must prefare themâ€" selves for a call on such service at any time, warned Mr. Horton. Just how widespread and thoraughâ€" goimz this wooxi cutting by relief men will become, will depend entirely upon the price of coal, said the depu‘y minâ€" ister. The wood will be placed at trackâ€" side in Northern Ontario communities for shipment south, at a negligible exâ€" pense. Cost of cutting will be relief, drawn by the families of the men who bring the fuel out of the bush. Devaluation of the Canadian dollar in terms of United States funds has already made it uneconomic to draw upon the Ohio and Pennsylvania fields for fuel supplies. As mer» on re‘lief in mm will be expected to woodâ€"cut relief allowances, they will be paid at a fiat rate, charged to and marked off ‘against the value of the food, clOMWs and shelter they receive from the taxpayers. Reliet families in the south who will benefit by the labour of â€"men on relief in the North, will repay this extra effort by the greater production of the truck gnrdem in their section ot the provincs. Here in the Norm_ where the growing season is shorter and the land nc so suited to truck garden agriculture, value and volume of crops will be more limited than in the south. In Essex county, for example, relief truck gardeners will be producing letâ€" tuce, radishes, onions and other early season crops, weeks ahead of Northern Ontario. Then again, with the longer season, greater crop rotation is posâ€" sible. The same goes for the Niagara season, grealer Crop To sible. The same goes fo peninsula. "With the Empire at w ed Mr. Horton, "no m n> man in Ontario can assiuiume the ‘let George "With the Empire at war," emphasizâ€" ed Mr. Horton, "no man in Canada, n> man in Ontario can sit back and assume the ‘let George do it‘ attitude. Winning of this war will be the result of unstinted coâ€"operative effort by every man, woman and child under the British flag. And those on relief are going to do their share." Mr. Horton concluded by saying that the department knows full well that with no exceptions, every man, every family on the welfare rolls is ready to pitch in, and with the rest of the naâ€" The Polish tag day on Saturday at Sudbury realized $1,032 for the ‘sufferâ€" ing Polish people.

A parade followed the tag day, the Legion and city officers taking part and the British flag being given high honour by the Polish people in Sudbury.., Many placards were carried in the parade condemning Germany‘s invasion . of Poland and the war on women and children.
