A truly remarkable record! This is especially true when it is considered that it was accompanled by a light- ening of the burden of taxation on the mass of the people of Ontario and a placing of taxation where it belongs, on the shoulders of those who have accumulated great wealth in the Province. During the fiscal year 1936-37 the sum of $15,991,- 350.00 was collected in Succession Duties largely from estates which had been granted settlements by the previ- ous administration which did great injustice to the Treas- ury. During the year ending March 31, 1937, efficiency in financing enabled the Government to greatly improve the position of the Province as to the public debt. Reduction in the gross debt represented largely by reduction in de- benture debt and treasury bills, amounted to $33,098,- 165.39. The Liberal Administration can, with confidence, apâ€" peal to the electors of Ontario on the basis of its achieveâ€" ments in the administration of the Province’s finances. When the present Government was placed in power in 1934, it faced millions of dollars of unpaid bills, and by October 31 of that year the deficit amounted to $30,599,- 249.78. In the meantime, the new Government had dis- continued the Henry Government policy of adding Un- employment Relief and payments on Sinking Fund to the public debt.‘ Hon. Mr. Hepburn, as Provincial Treasurer, insisted that these charges should be paid out of current revenue. So that of the thirty and a half millions de- ficit in 1934 $17,159.550.95 represented Unemployment Re- lief and $914,241.66, Sinking Fund payments. Which was the inheritance from the extravagant Henry Government. Under its “Pay As You Go” policy, the Hepburn Ad- ministration constantly improved the Province’s finances. By the end of the fiscal year 1936-37, after including Un- employment Relief in current expenditure, Mr. Hepburn achieved a surplus of $9,313,938.54. Within a few weeks We shall cast the ballot, that small strip of paper which all democracies respect. In its present form it bears slight resemblance to its original as used by the ancient Greeks. When they elected a legislator every voter threw a small pellet of bread in a basket, the dis- senters flattening theirs on one side. From the pellet we have evolved the modern ballot. That' séems like a thoroughly practical application of the fundamental Christian teaching of brotherhood. Every member of the church has pledged himself and his family to omit two meals every month and give the money they would have cost to the committee in charge of this program of relief and rehabilitation. Local com- mittees study the needs and capacity of every distressed member and devise ways to put him back on his feet, in the carrying out of which all other members coâ€"operate. Food, clothing and shelter are provided for those for whom no immediate jobs can be found, but the principle that ev- ery man must work for what he gets, and that it is a shame- ful thing for anyone to live at others’ expense and make no effort to give his work in return is insisted upon and constantly preached. H _ _ __ ,_ - No Mormon is permitted to stay on relief, or become dependent upon public funds, under this plan. The church as a body has assumed responsibility for seeing to it that none of its members goes without food, clothing or shel- ter, and that everyone is given an opportunity for self-sup- port and helped and encouraged to put himself permanently on in independent economic footing. The Mormon Church has undertaken a task which is well worth study by other religious and social groups. It has set out to abolish poverty among its membersâ€"and so far it has made amazingrprogress. In North York the Liberal candidate supporting Pre- mier Hepburn is Morgan Baker who has served faithfully as the representative of this riding in the last Legisla- ture. Mr. Baker has been a splendid representative and he has given generously of his time and talent in the pub- lic service. He is a man of sterling character and in every way" is a worthy representative of the people. On Wed- nesday, October 6th we believe that the people of North York with an overwhelming majority will return Morgan Baker to. the Legislature as a supporter of Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, the first government leader on the American continent to stand out fearlessly against the lawlessness of Lewis and the C.I.O. This is no ordinary election. You cannot count noses and votes by the noses and voting tendencies of electors’ grandparents. The tendency of recent years has been more and more to independent voting and we believe this tendâ€" ency is more noticeable in this than in any previous elec- tion in Ontario’s history. Hence there is less excitement, less beating of drums and more solid thinking on the part of the electors. Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn has been pre- mier of Ontario for a little over three years and we be- lieve that in that short space of time he has to his credit several remarkable achievements in administration. He has made some mistakes and no one is more ready to ad- mit it than Ontario’s courageous young leader. The only ones who never make mistakes are those who do nothing, and “Mitch” certainly can’t be placed in that category. Hepburn’s achievement in balancing the budget and his courageous stand against those influences which would wreck the industrial life of this country merit for him the supportrof the thinking people of this province. . Two weeks from next Wednesday is 'voting day and between now and that date many attempts will be made to divert attention from the main issues of the campaign. We hope the electors will not be swayed by petty appeals and misrepresentations purposely made to influence vot- ers in the exercise of their franchise. If government is to be carried out in the best interests of the people, the people must exercise their best judgment in the polling booth.

Phone 9788 At a meeting on Tuesday, Septemâ€" her 14th, it was decided to hold the Anniversary Services of Teston Unit- ed Church on Sunday, November 14, and the Fowl Supper on the 17th. Mrs. McCluskey is improving- af- ter a short illness her many» friends will be glad to hear. Mr. Carroll is confident that this year’s attendance will be well Over the 100,000 mark. This year’s match, he explained, is being held at Fergus, which is in the centre of the “finest farming area in Canada,” and is the hub of a network of arterial high- ways which serve every part of Onâ€" tario, and connect with main trunk highways into Quebec, New York, and Michigan, from where many in- terested spectators and contestants are expected this year. An interesting meeting of the Young People’s Union was held on Sunday evening with a good attend- ance. Charles Ro‘bson read the les- son. The guest speaker was Miss Kipling of Hamilton who spoke (m “The Parable of the Sewer.” Solo- ist was Miss Lillian Hatwood of Maple. And yet the competition is so keen and the interest aroused so great that teams have come from distant points in the neighboring provinces of Quebec and the Maritime Prov- inces of the Atlantic Coast, and from bordering American states, and near- ly 100,000 people attended the match.” “To anyone but a farmer, a nhw- ing match may: not seem exciting. A two-horse, or maybe a three horse team starts slowly down a field that has been pegged off into narrow strips, the farmer clinging to the plow-handles with set cOuntenance, the rich brown earth curling back beneath the shear. Back andI forth the team plods, each furrow as straight as though laid to a rule, until the job is done, the steaming horses disappear in the crowd and everyone moves to watch the next contestant. At last the whole field is turned over, each part so even that the layman wonders how the judges can decide the prize Winners. An interesting part of the clipping which Mr. Carroll proudly displayed, read as follows: Even newspapers in far-off China reported the International Plowing Match. The Shanghai Daily Even- ing Post and Mercury devoted half a cohnnn of space to ten about the event. Similar statements were also ex- pressed by a. writer in the “Scottish Farmer,” an agricultural periodical published in Glasgow, which is widely read by farmers throughout the Exitâ€" ish Empire, and its field' has the same reputation as the Manchester Guardian, The Times (both of Lonâ€" don and New York), and the Chris- tian Science Monitor have in the newspaper and literary worlds. He displayed a clipping received from a plowing enthusiast in Syd- ney, New South Wales, Australia. The story was taken from a national Australian farm publication called “The Land," and its editor expressed considerable surprise that “ploughs, and not cricket, could attract a crowd of 600 contestants and 100,000 spec- tators.” He was referring to the four-day match held last year at Cornwall. In a recent interview regarding this year's event which will be held at Fergus, Ont, from Oct. 12 to 15, J. A. Carroll, manager of the asso- ciation, disclosed that the event which is expected to draw over 100,000 in contestants and spectators this year, has received considerable editorial and news attention in newspapers and farm publications all over the globe. Toronto, Sept. 14â€"There is no “braggadocio” or exaggeration in the “International” part of the Interna- tional Plowing Match, held" annually in Ontario for the past 26 years un~ der the auspices of the Ontario Plow- men’s Assoeiation.

ONTARIO AT FERGUS THIS YEAR TESTON William Newman was re-nominated as Liberal candidate in Haliburtonâ€" Victoria. In accepting the namina- tion Mr. Newman who is 66 years of age stated' that this would be his last election campaign, that he would step aside for a younger man» before the next election. A very odd development in an old crabapple tree is reported in the or- chard of Mrs. James Reid, concession 8, Medonte. The tree bloomed pro~ fusely in the spring- at the usual time, and then again about three weeks or a month later, and now in September the tree is loaded with fruit and two branches are in blos- som for the third time. We do not know why some famil- ies have what we might call greater vitality and so live longer than the average. We do not know why Old Parr lived to 152 years. It may be, of course. that many years have been added to his life in the re-tell- ing of his story. We do know, how- ever, that to the adult who desires to increase the expectation of years of health, we can sayâ€"moderation in all things is essential and, above all, in food. An interest in life must be maintained whether it is in work or in play, such as a hobby. Worry must be cast out as it is the thing which wears out the machine. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation. 184 College Street, Tor- onto, will be answered personally by Many people have the idea that health work’s sole aim is to prolong life. This is only partially true, be- cause the ideal sought is rather heal- thier years than more years. Be- cause health and happiness are so closely linked together, it, may be fairly said that the objective of health work is not to prolong life but to make people happier while they live. There has not been 3 correspond- ing increase in the expectation of life among adults. The expectation of life at 50 years of age is not appreciably greater today than it was during the past century. One interesting point that we learn is that persons who live long- come, in general, of long-livedI families. This does not mean that a member of a long-lived family is more likely to recover from an attack of an acute disease, but rather that if he or she does escape from an attack of an acute disease, such as those which dbstro'y life in infancy and early adult years. such a person will be more likely to live to advanced years. Statisticians are able to prove to us that, on the average, a child born today will likely live to 55 years of age instead of to 40 years, which was the case in the middle of the past century. This has been brought about chiefly by better cave of in- fants, a tremendous reduction in the diarrhoeas of children which used to take such a heavy toll of infant life, pure water, safe milk and improved sanitary conditions.
