W C«m4» — By Jim Greenblat — This year’s Christmas mail to the armed forces overseas was mountain­ ous”, postal authorities state. During the busy November-October mailing the base post office handled 253,000 bags of letters and parcels, which would require endugh railway cars to form a train three and one-half miles in length. This excluded 1,300,- 000 cigarette labels flown overseas, each representing one box of 300 cigarettes. Surely a great job, well done. Some 18,000 extra helpers were on the job this Christmas sea­ son, many of them high school girls and boys. ,• • • The Canadian Federation of Agri­ culture at Ottawa points out that after five years of war farmers of Canada can look back on their part in the war effort on the home front a* a magnificent achievement. Take for instance the item of meats pro­ duced in 1944—this was the’greatest year on record with a production of more than 2,500,000,000 . Ibs. Far­ mers produced 10% more total inilk in 1944 tha® in 1939. Compared to the 1936-40 period, there was a pro­ duction in 1944 of-19%.? more butter, 60% more cheese, 70% more evap­ orated milk. Farmers also produced in 1944 56% more eggs, and 42.8% more poultry meat than in the 1936- 40 period. As for production of grains, that story has been told and retold.• • • Our men overseas are definitely thinking of their post-war future, most of them very seriously. Here is just one instance: At a north British port the Canadian Legion Educa­ tional Services have 700 Canadian -sailors listed for correspondence courses alone. These courses, which are on a voluntary basis, are con­ ducted under the supervision of In­ structor Lieutenant Ross E. Hamil­ ton, R.C.N.V.R.. of Saskatoon. As an example, through the medium of directed reading, an ex-Mountie was able to pursue his career in crimin­ ology; another sailor was able to ob­ tain books on “bakery science”; still another was accommodated with the book, “Productive Poultry Husban­ dry”; an interior decorating'course was supplied for another. Requests for books on plastics have been num­ erous, with books on national for­ estry, diesel and jet propulsion and other subjects sought and delivered. It gives you an idea that behind the fighting there is thinking. Reason for a 10% decrease in sugar quota for more than 10,000 industrial users in the first quarter of 1945 is that the Combined Food Board, which allocates all available sugar for the United Kingdom, Uni­ ted States and Canada, finds that available supply is going to be less than requirements calculated on the 1944 basis of usage. Sugar product­ ion is expected to be less next year than this, while military and war relief needs will be greater. Savings in Canada will be about 10,000,000 lbs. a quarter. That boy, who such a short time ago split the kindling and drove the cows to pasture, will be coming home from the wars some day, coming home to operate his own farm, to teach his own little boy to milk the cows and heip with the chores. Mothers of these soldier farmersiwant to see them eome home to farms of their own. In anticipation of that day, says the consumer branch of the Prices Board, thous­ ands of these ^mothers of sdldiers given • control of prices a No. 1 priority on their list of New Year’s1 resolution*.' As irt the last two years, they will continue not to payfmore than ceiling prices ... to buy only what they need and to invest in war savings that will pay for their Canada has been doing research work on a substitute for gasoline motor fuel ns a wartime emergency measure. The National Research Council, Ottawa, bought 37 producer gas units for tests, with investiga­ tions made at the Council’s labora­ tories at McGill University, using trucks carrying rated loads. It is es­ timated that installation of gas pro­ ducers on 10,000 tracks in Canada Would give » yea-ly saving of 20,000,000 guilons ofi gasoline. Pro­ vision of charcoal fiAl for the pro­ ducers could form part of a wartime industry. Of 13 diffen-nt gas produ­ cers tested, eight wpre made in Canada, three in GrcM Britain -and two in Sweden. Th<| Department of Agriculture provides an analysis showing that co-operatives in CanadA have ex­ tended just about to evlry field of production and consqmprion in this country. In the period 1942-43 we had, among many others: 416 dairy co-operatives jfruits and vegetables 161; grain and Seed 105; livestock 224; food products 518; ch thing and home furnishings 229; oal, wood and building materials 413; credit unions 1.780; farm mutual fire insur­ ance associations 400. The Agricul­ture Department report also \ shnvs that in 102 countries and terriaofes throughout the world, there t ux> more than 800,000 co-operative soci­ eties, with a membership of more than 143,830,000. Since the spring of 1941, Caruda has produced more than 2.00Q000 lbs. of optical glass. Magnitude of the Canadian production is i|v$- trated by the fact that* in World I, the United States produced only i total 1,250,000 lbs. The demand for services of wome in industry is now less acute, whldj accounts for the recent ruling of Selective Service that female uni­ versity students will not in future require a permit to return to their studies when they have failed to make qualifying marks during any university term. The change in pro­ cedure dees not affect men who are attending university. The Univer- "TTAdvisory Committee made a rec­ ommendation to this effect, later approved by Selective Service. Canada’s food industry isn’t all wheat and allied products. Our fisheries ar^.some big pumpkins as an industry.

The text ofPremier Drew’s address is as follows:"I am speaking to you in this wayover the radio to keep you informedabout the public affairs of this prov­ince. Our first concern in Ontarioand throughout the whole of Can­ada, now and for many long monthsahead will be the prosecution of thewar. But as we advance farther andfarther along the road to victory, italso becomes more necessary that we devote our thoughts to those things which will secure the fruits of victory, particularly for those who have wnn victory for us. It is with that thought in mind that I want to speak to you to-night about the Very grave constitutional crisis which we faceNiere in Canada. In different countries in Europe during these past weeks, we have seen tragic proof that freedom alone is n*»t enough to assure peace, hap­ piness. and good government. More than one nation with a long back­ ground of ordered government has been released from the Nazi yoke only to find itself torn by bitter in­ ternal strife. any through the terrible experience of being occupied by German forces or. not. unless effective plans have been made for the period of readjustment which must follow the war in every land. Recognizing the importance of ference at Westminister central hall. London. Nearly a thousand labordelegates, peers, M.P.'s and parliamentary candidates met in a stateof angry bewilderment' for this 43rd annual conference. constantly for a Dominion-Provincial Conference to discuss the measures which should be taken to provide for the rehabilitation of the members 1 of our armed forces, the re-employ­ ment of our munition workers, the organization of reconstruction pro­ jects and the establishment of the 1 most effective basis of social se- jeurity. ~. You may perhaps say to yoursel- such plans, governments throughout vcs» “"hat can we do about this as the world have been sending their individuals? You can do a great representatives to meet each other deal. In the past few . weeks, we in the hope of laying the foundation Ihnve ^ad one very convincing dem- for effective co-operation in the fu-1 onstration of the power of public ture. 1944 was a year of great con- °P|n,on- I thing it is most important ferenccs. The r.,..,. many nations met at ......Oaks and Bretton Woods. The leaders immediately and that each one of of the Dominion Governments met in 'ou then do everything you can to Ixrndon last spring. Mr. Churhchill'urKe that a conference of this has continued his long travels by air ,nalure should he held without fur- to meet the heads of other states at i th®*' delay. widely separated points throughout for years before the war, it was the world. All this has been pro-’ ductive of useful results. The 'con­ ferences were held because of the value of an exchange of ideas in sol­ ving the common problems which lie ahead. There is, hojvever, one conference which has not beeh held, and for Canadians it is just as important in its ultimate consequences as any of those to which I have referred. Al­ though the head of every provincial government in Canada has indicated his desire for a Dominion-Provincial Conference to prepare plans for tackling of our post-war jobs, the Dominion Government has refused to call such a. conference. I am placing the facts before you because this is a matter of the ut­ most concern to every Canadian. Since taking office, - nearly a year and a half ago, I hav'e been pressing That can happen in country whether it has gone , ----- cf °P*n*or*- I thing it is most important 'representatives of lhat you shou,d know why a Dornin- Dumbarton *on'Pr°vincial Conference is needed ernment hns power during the war ennegency to deal with almost any subject, whether it would ordinarily be under their jurisdiction or under the jurisdiction of the Provincial Governments. Various control boards have- been set up, prices, wages, and rents hurt* been fixed, resources have been controlled, and a vast bureau­ cracy has been set up to direct every phase of our war effort. But when the war is over, those wide powers will disappear. A vast administrative structure, occupying almost every field of agricultural, industrial and economic activity, will suddenly lose its authority with the passing of the war emergency. If plans have not been made in advance, you can well imagine the chaos that would follow if all these Boards and Com­ mittees, controlling so many of our activities, suddenly ceased to func­ tion. That is the dangerous possibility which stares us in the face unless the Dominion and Provincial Govern­ ments get together in a conference to work out the best method for com­ bining the -joint powers of the Dom­ inion and Provincial Governments, in the best interests of all the people of Canada. It- is not a question of whether you or I, or any one else, thinks that most of the powers should be exercised by. the Dominion Govern­ ment, or that on the other hand most of the powers should be exer- cloud the real issue.First of all may I remind you thatthia was one of the very subjectsthat we have specifically'named as asubject we wish to discuss with theDominion Government We are infavour of family allowances. Wehave said so. But we recognize thefact that ever since Canada becamea nation in 1867 social services havealways been regarded as being with­in the exclusive jurisdiction of theProvincial Governments. You willrecall that a few years ago a Conser­vative Government at Ottawa intro­duced Acts dealing with social ser­vices and that those Acts were de­clared invalid for the very reason Ihave mentioned. All we want is theopportunity to meet and discuss thesequestions and to make sure thatwhatever is done will be done inaccordance with out constitution,and upon a basis which will be justand equitable to every part of Can­ada. We have no intention of raising constitutional difficulties. On the con­ trary, we want to make sure that by co-operation we avoid constitutional difficulties. Now the Dominion Government has set up a new Department of Health and Public Welfare. Every Provincial Government has a simiHar depart^ ment. Public welfare has always been recognized as something entirely within provincial authority. But this is just the thin edge of the wedge at another point. Shortly after Mr. Claxton became the Minister of this new department, he wrote to me suggesting three subjects which should be included in the courses given by our university training. I was able to tell him that we had been giving those courses at Toronto University for some time. This, how­ ever, is the importance of Mr. Claxton’s.letter. The Minister of this new Dominion department wasted no time in telling us what he thought we should do in the field of educa­ tion. I assure you'that I am quite wil­ ling to discuss education or any other subject at a Dominion-Provincial Conference, but I do not intend to permit the control of education in this province to come under the war effort. On one side of the sheetwas a large map of Ontario, and onthe other side was a collection ofstatements ranging from details ofthe method of goverment of the pro­vince to the value of the productionof various crops. It started by giv­ing the wrong number of membersof the Provincial Legislature, andwent on with a series of inaccuracieswhich it would have been most un­fortunate to place in the hands ofthe pupils of our schools. That wasthe reason we took appropriate stepsto stop such a high-handed proced­ure.I will mention just one other inci­dent which shows how necessary aconference ia. When I discussed thesubject of immigration in Britain ashort time ago and expressed myown belief that we would again beable to find room for people fromthe British Isles once we had assuredthe employment of our own people, itwas said that I was discussing some­ thing with which the Provincial Gov­ ernment had nothing to do. I am well aware that this criticism was repeated by many in good faith, without knowing whajt our position really is. The fact is that immigra­ tion is one of the only two subjects i was definitely placed under the authority of both the Dominion and Provincial Governments by the British North America Act. Any provincial government has just as much right and just ns much legal authority to deal with immigration as has the Dominion Government. In .view of the fact that this is a subject under our legal authority, we have a right to know the plans of the Dominion Government so that we may make our own plans accord­ ingly. These are only some of the prob­ lems which call for immediate discus­ sion. Our great resources and pro­ ductive capacity justify confidence In our future. But that future de­ pends very largely upon the guid­ ance which is given by the ten gov­ ernments of Canada. They must get together without further delay. It will take time to iron out all the dif­ ficulties and the time is already far JANUARYThe Month ForFUR COATSCorhe in and see for yourself—exquisite lus­trous coats at exceptionally fair prices.

I have good reason for resisting any such tendencies. A few days ago many of you may have noticed in the press that a spokesman for the office of the Prime Minister of Canada made some comment about a direction recently sent out to the schools of this province that no printed material should be distribu­ ted in those schools which had not been approved by the Ontario De­ partment of Education. It was sug­ gested by the anonymous spokesman that this had been done because of the circulation through our schools of a radio speech by the Prime Min­ ister of Canada,. The direction went out for a very different reason. An official attached to the Wartime Information Board at Ottawa wrote in his capacity as the head of an educational associa­ tion and asked for permission to distribute educational material in schools of this jirovince, designed to increase an understanding of the duties of citizenship. He also asked for a list of the principals and teach­ ers of the various schools. The -Chief Director of Education for Ontario' sent this list and asked for copies nJ the pamphlets which were to be dis­ tributed. When ■ they were returned, it was found the pamphlets were propaganda material prepared by the ■ Wartime Information Board, for the purpose of supporting some of the political contentions of the Dominion Government. ’ At the same time, a large circular came into our possess­ ion which purported to give some emential facts about Ontario. This also was prepared by the Wartime Information Board. The facta it con­ tained had nothing to do with our to be done. I urge everyone of you to join in the request for nn early conference, so that Ontario and the whole of Canada may be ready Tor the great opportuni*s which lie ahead. g The John White Co., Ltd. WOODSTOCK*ONT. recognized that some adjustments were necessary in the relationship between the Dominion and Provincial Governments. A Royal Commission headed by the Honourable N. W. Rowell was appointed to inquire into this whole question. The report of that Cbmmission, following lengthy hearings in every part of Canada, recommended many adjustments. Nothing has been done to implement any of the recommendations of tha^ report. The war itself' temporarily solked cised by the Provincial'Governments. The simple,, inescapable fact is that we have a Canadian constitution which defines the power of the Do­ minion and Provincial Governments and that those powers must be exer­ cised in accordance with our consti­ tution if they are to be exercised at all. Even if the Ontario Government or the government of any other pro­ vince thought it should forego any of its rights, that would-not settle i the difficulty. If either the Domin- I ion or Provincial Governments pass ariy Act outside of their own juris­ diction, any citizen can go" into the courts and have'such an Act declared | valid. That being so, it is essential that the governments meet td discuss joint action for carrying this country smoothly forward frbm a war to a peace basis. The need for that has been recognized by the Dominion Government in some fields already. In the rehabilitation of veterans, the Provincial Governments are working in co-operation with the Dominion Government, particularly in the edu­ cational program. In Ontario thia program is under the administrative direction-.of the J.h,part merit of Edu- ■ calioh. But in the field 'of* social ser­ vices- and post-war construction no agreements have been reached or can be reached until a conference is held. Hand in hand with the Unsatisfactory situation whicly results from the failure of the Dominion Government to call thia conference is the equally unsatisfactory, situation which, re­ sults where action . has been taken without consultation of any kind. Whjen I objected, on behalf of the Ontario Government, to the ihtyo- i duction of. the'Family-AQowitnco Act , nt Ottawa .without any consultation .with the representatives of this pro- I vines, my objection was carefully and vigorously misrepresented by. various agencies of the Dominion Government. It was said that I opposed family allowances. It was said that we were trying to dbstruct the efforts of the Dominion] Govern­ ment, It was Mid that I was discuss- ing something which was a matter only of feceiwl concern. In fact, everything . miatble was done to be- some of the problems. The Domin­ ion Government has the constitu­ tional power to take such steps as are necessary for the effective prose­ cution of the war. The War Meas­ ures Act and the National Resources Mobilization Act were both passed under that wide authority.

All this bric-a-brac hadto be handled with some degree ofcompetence, for the Vultee was amuch more sensitive creature thanthe blousy "Yellow Peril.” If youneglected the check-off list, a com­ pact set of commandments to fa­cilitate landings and take-offs, anddetermined on a high pitch when itshould have been low, and rolledyour flaps up instead of down, you entered upon a course of wild, uncertain adventure. When thishappened, a plane ostensibly poisedto take off would be seen to speed,happily into The Texas plain as ifafflicted with a desert madness. Failure to comply with NationalSelective Service Civilian Regula­tions resulted in the prosecution of149 persons during the month ofNovember, according to a statementissued recently by A. MacNamara,Director of National Selective Ser­vice.A total of 111 of the accusedwei;e convicted, as compared with122 convictions in October. Eightmore charges were laid in Novemberthan in the previous month.Employers were convicted in 11cases,.most of them being chargedwith engaging workers without per­ mits. Of- 69 employees convicted, a majority were charged with leaving employment without giving notice of separation, quitting “designated” high priority work without Selective Service permission, or failing to accept high priority work when re­ ferred by a Selective Service officer. Thirty-one conscientious objectors were convicted of failing to follow a direction to report to an alternative service work camp. ♦ At December 1 a total of 343 cases were still pending—23 being charges against employers, 166 against em­ ployees and 154 against conscien­ tious objectors. — Department Labour, Ottawa.

And when you hear that oft-repeated comment you may be sure that there’s something wrong with the humidity level, states a bul­ letin just issued by the Canadiaif Institute of Plumbing and Heating. There are several ways of correct­ ing this deficiency. One is to fill the water pan in the hot air furnace. Or, if you have hot water or steam heat, hanging humidifying units on the radiators will help. Or, even where heat iA provided by stove or Quebec heater, a pan of water on the unit itself will do the trick. But, because the body perspires, even though imperceptibly, a dry atmos­ phere needs some moisture if health is to be maintained. Heat will take water, either from the air or from you. And another thing that many do not realize is that an atmosphere carries proper moisture is warm and comfortable at a lower temper­ ature thaq the atmosphere that is arid. That’s why a moist .atmosphere means a fuel saving, too. Ask your plumber about this im­ portant fuel and health factor, ad­ vises the Institute. It will save you money and increase your effort.

The Ingersoll Tribune WALLY BISHOP THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 11, 1945 S&2WEEK BY WEEK— By Dean Wilson —IMMINENT IMPACTIn tune with the hard fighting onthe war fronts, both Britain and theUnited States have adopted strongermeasures in regard to manpowerand industrial activities but so farthere have been no concrete indica­tions that similar measures may fol­low immediately in imitation of thesemeasures in this country, especiallyon manpower problems. Of course, itis pointed out in well-informedquarters along Parliament Hill thatthe Government of Canada had only lately adopted stronger measures on manpower, including the famous Order-in-Council which made 16,000 men of the N.R.M.A. available for overseas service as reinforcements for the troops and other actions which sought more and more man­ power for military as well as civilian needs. For a time, before the start of the hard fighting on the Euro­ pean fronts, there was so much talk in Ottawa and elsewhere throughout this country of post-war problems that people began to seek employ­ ment outside war work, even caus­ ing concern in official circles. The Department of Munitions and Sup­ ply in Ottawa, is said to have started to assure its ’employees not to worry about post-war work but to concentrate on their present war tasks when employees began to look for other occupations; prominent employees in war jobs in the capital began to move out and back into their peace-time jobs at a surprising rate; when the Civil Service Commis­ sion advertised for positions to be filled by accountants in the Depart­ ment of Finance, Comptroller of the Treasury, there was no less than 700 applications for 36 open posts, though accountants were supposed to be very scarce in this war period. All in all, the trend of the times seems to have changed now in Can­ ada, as it has in both Britain and the United States since it is realized that victory may not come ns soon, nor as easily, as it had been imagined 'by a great many people, though some L of the drastic measures taken by ' London and Washington lately have not been emulated completely in Ot­ tawa so far in this period of crisis. not come forth for the money to theextent that it had been expected sothat one report in Ottawa disclosedthat about one-quarter of the num­ber of cheques would probably goout in January of the number thathad been anticipated at this time.However, it is possible that thebiggest payments in the largest num­bers will not be forthcoming untilclose to the end or at the actualend of the war when more and moremen will be discharged from theforces since payments of gratuities or grants are based upon the length of service as well as the determining factor whether the man or woman served at home or abroad. memories ar e r ev ived The bequest of $50,000 to Prime Minister Mackenzie King by the late Sir William Mulock is still a subject of much conversation along Parlia­ ment Hill for a number of reasons. One reason is that it has brought suddenly into the limelight a theory that Canada's Prime Ministers and some Ministers of the Crown do not get as much salary for their services ns they should receive, this being em- hasized by the fact that history has recorded that retired leaders have often been forced to seek other work after many years of peblic service. Another reason is that this bequest has revived memories of the close relationship for almost 50 years between Premier King and the late Sir William Mulock, who had so much to do with the start in public life of Canada's Premier. It goes back to the historic convention where the present Premier was only 47 years of age and the youngest candidate among those nominated for the leadership in succession to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, including the 70- year-old Hon. William Fielding, the 60-year-old Hon. G. P. Graham or Hon. D. D. Mackenzie, though Sir William Mulock’s friendship had helped him along considerably many years before this important stage. Incidentally, a report in Ottawa has stated that this bequest may be tax- free and paid in full. DEMAND FREE TIME ON AIR MYSTERY OF GRANTS One of the mysteries in Canada’s capital is why »o many discharged personnel of the armed services have not applied for their war service gratuities, though it has been widely publicized by the Government that payments would be started in Janu­ ary' of 1945. It is true that origin­ ally the War Services Gratuities Bill was supposed to come into force on October 1, 1944, but it must be pointed out that later this date was changed in Ottawa to January 1 next after.Hon. J. L. Ralston, for­ mer Minister of National Defence, had stated that it, was doubtful if the machinery for paying gratuities and grants could ibe possibly set up "by October 1. When everything was ..arranged foi; such paymerta by the Department of Finance and A was widely publicized, still the” iAn did, It has become known in the capi- ital that a-union, having membership in the C.I.O.. that is the Committee for Industrial Organization, has made a demand upon the jCanadian Broad:casting Corporation for free time on the air in order to create better understanding of labor relations in Canada. However, since this involves a matter of high policy for the C.B.C., it will be subject to consid­ eration before the Board of Gov­ ernors at their next meeting, prob­ ably in January.

Canada's external trade relations throughout the world, with an ex­ port division having been estab­ lished. Indeed, just as soon as coun­ tries’are liberated and shipping fac­ ilities are recommended, the activi­ ties of this import division ’ may assume its important functions to an extent far beyond the imagination of the man-in-the-street, especially when the strict controls begin to drop more and more in the near future. Moreover, it is stated in Ottawa that general interest among businessmen in Canada in regard to imports is far greater than ever be­ fore. judging by the inquiries being made. CONTRAST IN CONDITIONS MR. DEACHMAN andKARL MARX — by — Eveline A. Long nates? Surely he recognizes in the CULLODENprivacy of his own heart, that they*.ill continued to accumulate whilemillions lost ground. He may saymillions are now woikingng good money, all due toj enterprise. Many of themare; rt&V of them lie buried on for­eign sofi* having given their liveswhen tiki/ had nothing else to give,not even a love of the country thatallowed them to . starve or go toprison as a result of-their vagrancy.They, Mr. Deachman, were not en­couraged to use their individual ini-titive or their private enterprise toany good purpose.No, My dear Defender of thepowerful, much as I admire thefervour with which you uphold themaker of millions, I cannot forgetthe millions who were unmade by the million-makers. It’s a matter of men or money, of course, and to you the millions of dollars are oi vast impor­ tance, the millions of men the casual by-product of an age that is so materialistically minded, that it fails to see that a well-fed, well-housed. Well-educated teitizenry is what makes a country great, not its few too well-fed and too much housed plutocrats. A rugged individualism has my blessing. It’s a fine thing to be able to put one’s gift® of mind and hand into the labor by which one earns his bread. It’s good to see something that skilful hands and brain have turned out, but the rugged individual that turns out the millions of bits and pieces that go to make the fin­ ished products is the machine, that a man or woman watches and feeds. Not much rugged individualism or in- ititive for the worker there. Of that, the worker in a mass-production plant, has been robbed, and robbed too of a security found in his labor, that is the right of the skilled artis­ an. Mass production means flush­ toilets, and silk stockings and motor­ cars, I admit, for a good many people, but until a much lauded private enterprise and out-moded capitalism give to every person cap­ able and willing, a chance to earn a decent living, in good times or bad, in peace .times as in war, I, for one, refuse to laud to the skies a system that does make for vast fortunes at one end of the poles, and vast mis­ fortunes at the other.

H. Knd J hur Although we appreciate the fact that Mr. R. J. Deachman is an ardent defender of the present capi­ talistic system nnd an assiduous pro­ ponent of private enterprise, yet we are not quite able to follow his argu­ ments to their final conclusions. He is the representative elected or other­ wise, of all those who fear the rise of the proletariat, knowing that their rise to a decent standard of liv­ ing, at all times and all over the world is, to a certain extent, bound to cut into the too large profits of the capitalists. But his argument against that of Karl Marx, that too great wealth at one end of the poles makes for too great poverty at the other, isn’t to my mind conclusive. Surely he remembers that that is how it worked out only a few years ago. If, as he seems to argue, private enterprise and our present capital­ istic system are together such a wonderful boon to the workers of the world, why did such a state of things eventuate? Were they able to prevent it? Would they be able to prevent a recurrence of such another period of disaster? Is Mr. Deachman really so blind to the truth that he can argue that the poverty of mil­ lions who lived on the dole, or walked the highway and rode the rods, only a few years ago, wasn't the result of a system that allowed the rapid rise to power of the money mag- don, spenYear’s wi Miss Eva Parker of Woodstock,spent New Year's at the home of Mrs. McEwen and family.L.A.C.

At this time, it must be stressed that the conditions of this sport in Canada are connected with those in the Uni­ ted States but there are also differ­ ences, particularly since Provincial authorities are involved in racing regulations here as well as the Fed­ eral authorities. The betting in the United States in 1944 amounted to $1,126,308,645, 'but in Canada it was only $37,068,199, though this latter figure was the largest in Canada since 1930 when the figure reached $38,007,146. In the United States in 1944, there operated about 80 race tracks, involving employees of about 40,000 and attendance of fans reaching 18,000,000. In Canada in 1944, the Department of Agricul­ ture supervised pari-mutuel betting at the tracks of 25 racing associa­ tions which held racing for 298 days only and involved much leas in the way of employees or investment than in the United States during the same period of fime.- NEIGHBORLY NEWS LAID TO REST JOHN W.

The influence of pressure groups can be traced to the present day where it was shown .that in Rus­ sia and Germany, pressure groups had seized complete power and these were eventually devolved into dic­ tatorships. The speaker showed how pressure groups arts used to influence our present day democratic governments and sketched in detail the success of the "Farm Bloc” in the United States. In referring ,to Canadian in­ fluential groups, reference was made to the attempts of varied groups to |extend their influence. Present day'I "Pressure Groups” were shown to I organized labour, organized, agricul*’ ture, and a' French minority. It was i pointed out that if any of these "groups secured power and used it selfishly, then disastrous conditions might very easily result.
