President I have a suggestion for ending the drought. It doesn’t involve the use of dry ice pellets scattered from aeroplanes or any of that expensive hanky-panky. No sir! It can be done for a whole lot less. Here it is. Every so often I’ve Here it is. Every so omen 1've tried to show visitors one of the most beautiful parts of our country by taking them on the Hundred Mile cruise through Muskoka’s lovely lakes. Every time -â€" and I’m not kidding â€" that I’ve done this all they have seen has been the biggest rain that has fallen in months. So it’s quite simple. All we have to do is to take up a small collection to send me on the Hundred Mile cruise, preferably with a beautiful gal. Any suckers? Seriously speaking, I’m hopeful that by the time that this appears in print my joking suggestion will not need carrying out. Living in the midst of the drought area as we are there is little need to go into detail to inform those who can see the ac- tual effects of what is happening. A quick look over conditions indicates that nowhere in Ontario is the sit- uation nearly as bad as it is right in this neighbourhood. It is costing in this neighbourhood. It is costing local farmers and growers many thousands of dollars and, if much longer continued, means near disas- ter for many of the number who de- pend on the products of the soil for their income. By the time this hits the street many of the local youngsters will have finished school, gleefully proud of the fact that they do not have to write final exams. Others will be looking forward with more or less mixed feelings to the ordeal but all, without exception, will be looking forward to summer holidays. To the parents of all local child- ren, into whichever of the two class-‘ es they may fall, I’d like to draw attention to an editorial which ap- pears in this week’s editorial column of The Liberal. It was written ex- actly “as is” by a Richmond H.ll public school student and ,has not been edited in any way. Apart from its demonstration of literary ability it may perhaps have a special appeal to other children because one of their own wrote it. Whatever hap- pens during the next few months it‘s a sure and certain thing that some child, because of its own inexper- ience‘o‘r carelessness, “will suffer death or injury. Perhaps the editorial, shown to all children in this district, might have'a special impact and help to save a life. It’s worth trying anyway. ma Lost â€"â€" one publisher! But we expect to find him again on June 28th and, apart from any partisan considerations whatsoever, with that big- smile on his face which will come from the fact that his consti- tuents'have recognized a “good guy” and a staunch Canadian, in a fitting manner. . ‘ But what a life!!! It should be a warning to those who feel the urge to serve their fellow men by repreâ€" senting them in Parliament. I’ve seen enough of parliamentary life to know what a tough job it is to serVe in Ottawa. But I never knew what a beating a man took in the hectic days preceding polling day, to get there. With this and that meeting to attend, this and that person to see and this and that and ten thous- ‘and other details to take care of it is, from what I’ve‘ seen of it, a tough racket, pretty nearly but not quite as bad as being an editor. But once again I feel that this Dominion is lucky in having men of the convictions and calibre who, without counting the cost, serve their fellow men in our legislative bodies. It’s a thankless job in most cases. You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. But it’s a whole lot better to have men who serve at the cost of their own physical strength than to have a set-up where men climb to power on the maimed and prisoned bodies of their fellow men the way they do WWOOOM“”MNOO KING CITY MOTORS Agents for Chore-Boy Milkers PHONE 47W.

You might just rememâ€" that when you’re trying to make up your mind on June 27th whether to go out and vote or not because “Oh, it's so much trouble!” My mention of the difficulties that my dog got into with a skunk last week brought several friendly: suggestions as to what should be‘ done about it. For them â€"â€" my thankq. They ranged all the way from rubbing him with tomato juice to shooting the so-andâ€"so. There were times when I leaned very stron- gly to the latter cure. However, all is well. He rectified the situation himself by a very old principle â€"- that of minimizing one trouble by getting into a bigger one. First step appeared to be that of wallow- ing in a swamp â€" though where he found a swamp around here these days I’ll never know, and then by sleeping two nights with a dead cow. Now I wish we had the skunk back. Hint for exponents of the'tomato juice remedy: â€"â€" Drink it yourself, same as I did.v f IN NORTH YORK voun Pnoanassm (magmauameré George Drew, more than any other national leader knows that governmentâ€"to remain DEMOCRATIC, -must remain in the hands of the people.
