Recently Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commis- sioner in London, revealed to the Toronto Canadian Club plans for an intensive campaign in the British Isles to popularize Canadian products. This campaign had been described by experts as the most scientifically-planned camâ€" paign ever! launched by a Dominion in the Old Country. rut-Ac“ v.-- -w.._____-._ . ~ Mr. Massey’s announcement of the drive to develop the British market was made several days after Hon. Dun- can Marshall, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, had ex- pressed the conviction that, despite severe drought, farm- ers of the province would experience better times in both the domestic and overseas markets during the next year. The High Commissioner’s plans for a drive to capture British markets 101‘ Canadian producers would seem to bear this contention of Mr. Marshall’s out, and the next six months will tell the story. When the Ontario Government closed up Ontario House in London shortly after coming into office, much criticism was directed at Premier Hepburn and his colâ€" leagues. It was claimed that an important channel or outlet for Ontario-grown and manufactured products had been lost by reason of the closing of Ontario House, and that farmers of the province would suffer as a result. The government’s reason for its action was that Ontario House was merely a duplication of Canada House, the headquar- ters of the Canadian Government in the Mother Land, and that it was a needless expenditure of money to maintain a costly building and staff. a .1 - , ,,,,:,.,, LA LA :â€" uvuv‘.’ u“ ...... o In the first place, the forthcoming campaign to be launched by the Canadian High Commissioner in Great Britain is not going to cost Ontario a single dollar. The Whole cost will be borne by the Dominion Government which maintains Canada House. Secondly, Ontario pro- ducers will reap just as much benefit from the campaign as though Ontario House still functioned. The campaign opens in Glasgow in October and every large centre of population will be visited. A tremendous onslaught of publicity will accompany the campaign and newspapers and radio will carry the slogan, “Canada calling.” And Ontario products will be in the forefront, for this prov- ince is the largest producer of diversified products in the Dominion. Grain and meats and honey and fruits and canned vegetables, all the finished products will be blaz- oned before the eyes of the British public. And manu- factured products will not be forgotten. Scarcely a province in Canada now maintains an office in the Old Country. The growth of Canada House and its activity along many lines makes it unnecessary for a prov- ince to maintain its own separate estakblishment. The Hepburn Government has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars by closing up Ontario House and it cannot be truthâ€" fully said that the farmers of Ontario have suffered as a consequence. Of course, it is very nice to have a provin- cial headquarters in London, but it’s an expensive proposiâ€" tion. In these days when governments are bent on mak- ing every dollar pay its way, luxuries cannot be afforded. Maybe in good times Ontario will again establish its own office in London, just for the prestige of having one there, but in the meantime the Dominion Government is doing exactly the same work, and What is also important, ‘pay- ing the entire cost. The Ontario Association of Rural Municipalities has come into existence. A communication from the Assoâ€" ciation says it is necessary that the 321 towns and villâ€" ages and 54 townships under the county system of the municipal government should send representatives to a meeting Who would consider What is going to become of many of the towns and villages. I,,_.’,,,An _.L' .4--,.A- The cities, we are told, started this business of meet- ing together through the association of mayors, and they have had several gatherings and made several trips to parliament Where they placed their collective views before the government. The smaller places feel that as the cities are going in for this sort of business they will have to do something similar. A L‘L , ___‘11 Back in the years when people worked for longer hours and without any of the conveniencces now enjoyed they were able to maintain their churches and other or- ganizations as well as find the necessary time to efficiently carry on matters of public concern. The leisure that is enjoyed today because of less confining hours of business and labor and a far greater number of holidays, instead of providing better opportunities for rendering service to the community seem to have had the opposite effect. There are occasions on which the hours of Sunday are encroached upon both for business and enjoyment pur- poses. These are indeed strenuous times! DULAAK; VIAAlAb uAAuA.w- . The latter claims, and with good reason, that the vill- ages and towns are growing less in size as a rule, and that their continued existence is important: _An(ilthat is so. vauvu. VV..V.A.V.-V. y... We read also thatâ€"the problem of taxation is becomâ€" ing more serious, because it all comes back on the man who owns some real estate and in that _Way has his name IleV V .. .._. on the collector’s roll, while there are from 25 to 40 per cent. of citizens who own no real estate and therefore escape the brunt of increasing taxation. There have been new services created which towns and villages have had to aid in financing, such as relief, hospitalization of indi- gents, Mothers’ Allowance, Old Age Pension, but there has been no change made in the method of raising money. It has all come back on the man with a piece of property. .uuu “A: wvu-v ~wv.- v-- Just what the Villages and towns could do about it if they gathered together we do not know, but we say in all sincerity that We wish they could bring some force into active operation which would help them hold their own and work back to stronger positions. It is much better that we should have a number of thriving Villages and towns well distributed than that the drift toward cities should continue. It is not infrequent in these days to hear the excuse made for neglect to give heed to the call for public service that personal duties demand all the time that is available. Everybody professes to be busy with their own affairs to an extent that makes it impossible to consider the com- mon weal. That such a condition should exist when we consider the many labor-saving devices now employed in the home and in all business and industrial activities seems strange indeed. The common use of electricity makes it possible to accomplish by simply pressing a button what past generations would have been able to bring about only at the cost of hours of toil.

PLUMBING AND TINSMITHING Thornhill, Ontario Hot Water Heating and General repairs. A. C. HENDERSON N EWTONBROOK THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Swat the Fly, and save our Babies With that slogan the Health League ’of Canada today fired? its first gun in the annual autumn war against one of Canada’s most dangerous household pesxts â€" the fly. Contaminatiom of food by flies can and: must be prevented the health di- rector declared, pointing out that flies will carry on their feet, leg-s 'anid body, and, in the alimentary canal, the specific germs causing ty- phoid fever, cholera, inifantil'e diar- rhoea, tuberculosis and other dis- Declaring that the disease germs Collected in the wanderings of the ’house fly and transported to the food and person of its victims constituted one of the greatest sources! of danâ€" ger to the health of Canadian babies, Dr. Gordon Bates, general director, urged Canadians everywhere to start swatting the autumn flies early. Sharp rise in the incidence of in- testinal trouble among babiesI in Sepâ€" tember and October may be attribut- ed, in part at least, to the increased number of flies that gain access. to homes at this season, Dr. Bates said. 'He commended the efforts being 'made by health officers throughout Canada in abolishing manure heaps 'amd garbage dumps, natural breeding 'places for the flies. ‘eases Floors and table tops should be kept entirely free from moisture and wrumbs of food, officials of the ‘health organization asserted». They pointed out that modem office ’buildrimgs are comparatively free of flies because there is neither dirt nor food to attract them. Housewives who empty their dirty 'dish water into the back-yard) were ‘chastized by the Health League of 'Canada officials who'said that such ‘practice was “unsanitary and‘ filthy.” Household refu5e should be placed in a covered metal container, it was 'further urged; Babies carriages Ishoul‘dI be covered with netting. ‘Screen doors should not be removed ’until the first frost has killed off 'the autumn flies. ' It has been established that a pair 'of flies, if not interferedl with, will bause 1,555,200,000 adult flies to be brought into the world1 from May 1 to August 1. Half of those will be ‘female flies, capable of laying 120 eggs each. “That’s the reason why householdâ€" ‘ers should’ start their autumn fly~ lkilling campaign early,” Dr. Bates 'said today. He said that flies were a menace to public health, owing to their habit of passing- dfirectly from filth to human food, carrying bac- teria. and other organisms and part- icles of decomposimg matter on their hairy body, legs, sticky feet and mouthparts. Public health departments all over Canada were commended fo'r their careful supervision of restaurants, vandl the comtinued efforts being made to keep these eating-places clean. ‘ Fifty per cent of the flies could‘ be wiped out. and infant sickness! cQuld be reduced1 fifty per cent if housewives would. take a. determined si‘am‘J to “Swat thfq fllyfami save our babies.” Statement of the Health League of Canada concludes.
