M Ottawa Spotlight By Wilfrid Eggleston Ottawa, Dec. 1.â€"Canada enters the winter with a number of grave problems still unsolved, but there are more encouraging patches in the the. quered map of the Dominion than we have had for years. Things would have been much better if the west had not been again visited with the most severe drought since 1919, and it is really remarkable the way busi- ness generally has been able to ab- sorb that appalling shock and still struggle up to higher levels. There are four aspects of the picâ€" ture that are still very bad. The lfirst of course is the condition of a ‘next harvest is sold. The second is the national and some of the pro- vincial budgets, which are still run- ning behind. Third is the construcâ€" tion industry, still extremely sluggâ€" iish. Fourth, which is to some exâ€" tent the expression of the first and third. is the total number of persons unemployed and on relief. (Drought Costing Millions) The drought is costing millions of dollars, and the expenditure will have to go on until next harvest. Nobody knows exactly what it will cost the federal treasury. My own guess would be between 20 and 23 million dollars. Then there are the loans advanced to the drought areas of the past. They have been carried on the Dominion’s books as active as- sets, but it is obvious that a large slice of them will have to be written off as bad debts. This. in turn, affects the Dominâ€" ion balance sheet. On May 1st the Minis‘er of Finance predicted that the deficit next year would be about 100 million dillars. Business and tax collections picked up so much that it scarred possible this would be subâ€" stan. :iITy reduced by the end of the fiscal year. But the drought will largely if not wholly offset that gain. and it will be surprising if the final showing is much better than was forecast. The construction industry is still running along at a rate about half of normal, with the result that tens of thousands of construction workers and tens of thousands of those en- gaged in trades which supply the building trade, are out of work. It is possible that the housing acts now contemplated will revive things, com- bined with a general upturn in busi- ness. The number of employed con. tinues to rise, but not in any spec tacular way. The gain over 193' appears to be six or seven per cent: while the registered unemployed, acâ€" cording to the census of the Nations al Employment commission, showed large part of the wheatâ€"growing' prairies, where conditions cannot possibly be much better until the THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO N EWTON BROOK The annual business meeting of the W'.M.S. will be held next T‘ues- day, Dec. 8th at 2.30 p.m. at the Parsonage.

Christmas concert may have to be changed owing to other entertainments held in the pubâ€" lic schools on that date also the clos- ing exercises of Earl Ilaig Collegiate Institute. Further an..ouncements will be made next week. The Youngr People's Union met last Monday evening with a fine attend- ance. Miss Mary Donglas. convener of Christian Fellowship, presided. Two sacred vocal duets were given by Jack Vanl.iiven and Douglas Lowry to their own accompaniments on the guitar. Mr. J. Rooney, who is a fellow employee with Mr. W. T. New on the General Post Office Staff in Toronto conducted the devotional worship service and gave an inspir.. ational talk. This was followed by a duet by Mrs. Harold Moore and Mrs. Glen Shaw. The president, Mr. W. T. New, made several important announcements regarding the Y.P.U. activities. It was decided to hold the election of officers after the New Year, on January 4th. The Newtonbi'mk United Church shipped a large bale of warm winter ’Tothing this week to Dr. George Dorey, Regina, who distributes it. to the needy parts of Saskatchewan. Mrs. Hawkins of Toronto visited with Mrs. Thomas Street last week-_ end and attended services at the United Church last Sunday. Mrs. Hawkins attended Sunday School here when a little girl. She missed many old friends who attended here many years ago. Among those who attended the Provincial S. S. Convention which was held in Yorkminster Baptist Church, Toronto, last week were: Mrs. Frank Summers, Mrs. Grisdale, Misses Irene Smith, Doris VanLuven, Emma Mc- ir!

(Wheat Problem Solved?) Mr. E. J. Brett, Mr. Harry Smith, The wheat situation, about which Mr_ Hal-01d Dug-gar], M1; and, Mrs, so much had to be written a few Grisdale and Rev. and Mrs. Halbert months ago, is temporarily solved. All our stocks will now move out attended a meeting of Toronto Centre Presbytery in the interests of the it WOUM seem, by the end 0f the Missionary and Maintenance in Bloor crop year; and so far the price has been the most satisfactory in sevâ€" eral years. Whether the long-range problem is not still very serious, calls for mature consideration. The return of the United States to an export basis next yearâ€"as it might â€"coupled With good harvests else- where, could rapidly make things worse again. But it does seem 1‘88... jsonable to suppose that the western farmer will next year again get a pretty fair return for his harvest. Many lines of activity are defi- nitely better. It is said that the tourist trade was as much as 35% above last year’s figures. The tour. ist business brings more money t' Canada than any single export, ex. cept Wheat, and some years it ex- ceeds wheat. Retail trade is report- ed to be running about 10% better than last year. Mining, both in base metals and gold, is booming. The lumber trades are quite optimistic. There is a higher level of coal min- ing. Manufacturing has absorbed a larger number of persons each conâ€" secutive month in the year 1936. (Relative Burden of Taxation) As the level of business rises, the relative burden of taxation falls. This can easily be illustrated. When the R national income is 21/; billion doll- _â€"â€"â€"â€"__ TRAVEL SERVICE Bteenship Rona-nth- b Baeat Britain and the Continent.

When the national income rises to 4 billion dollars a year, only 10 dollars out of‘ every 100 goes to Ottawa. The same principle is true of other taxation.

Dudley, 4155 Yonge St. on Friday, Dec. 4th at 2.30 p.m. The members are asked to bring hard candy wrapped in cello- phane bags as a contribution for the Christmas boxes, which will be sent to families in Northern Ontario. The Golden Rule Mission Band met in the S. S. Hall last Saturday at 2.30 for their regular meeting with an attendance of thirty. The presi- Ident, Ann Wells, presided. Miss Annie Lever assisted in the devotional worâ€" ship service. The band members in unison repeated the Scripture mem- ory verses. Jackie Cosburn recited. Mrs. Alexander, Mission Bandi Sec- retary of Toronto Centre Presbytery, who was to be guest speaker on this occasion was unable to attend owing to illness. In her absence Mrs. Hal- bert gave an address. At the con- clusion of the meeting Miss E. Hope conducted the election of officers which resulted as follows: President, Ann Wells; lst Vice-Pres...

TESTON Old man winter seems to have fool- ed the weather prophets. Santa Claus must have brought these weaâ€" ther changes from the North Pole. There was a good attendance at Young People’s Union last Sunday evening. It was the fifth Sunday in the month and Jean Hadwin was in charge. The guest speaker, Miss Farr, Vellore, spoke on the parable of the man who hired laborers at a penny, paying the last hired as much as the first. Sadie Windas read the lesson and Rutherford Brothers con- tributed two fine ducts. This was an interesting meeting. Monday evening the Teston Y.P.U. were guests of the King Society.
