Sauve s dismissals have averaged a Little better than one per Day it is reasonably cer Tain that a. New record already has been established. This is the More probable because Parlia ment last session widened the authority the postmaster Gen eral Over postmasters at the expense of the civil service com Mission and the Merit system. Not Only Are Rural postmasters now subject to the whims of the s Alives and Leniols of Public life but every postmaster receiving less than per year is in Anua peril. In effect this leaves Only the postmasters of the larger cities sure of their jobs. The Bill collectors be judged upon the merits of its ease. It Lias to right the government is.

This May happen with men who do not really wish to endanger the for ests. But if the Camp fire is not completely extinguished wind soon fans it into activity and a conflagration May result. The Protection of the forests from fire is now entirely in the hands of the., provincial govern ments. They must seek the co operation of the Public in every Way Ine Luthse support for just As thorough going and rigorous government action As is necessary to save the from the results of human carelessness and recklessness.

There will also be present Rich Ard Dick Spears of Springfield who As a teen aged lad drove the covered Wagon a which the fam ily had arrived Over the Daws on route two years before with his father s John Spears contribution of 4.4 bushels. Dick Spears of 1s76 did not get much thrill out driving 15 Miles Over a rough Road and around Many sloughs to reach the Winnipeg of 1s76 but Richard Spears of 1932 is taking a very keen interest in the coming commemoration and has supplied the committee in charge of arrangements with Many details of what actually took place at the time the wheat was shipped. He realizes now that when he. With his covered Wagon escaped the final peril of upsetting ill the huge mud Hole that formed part of main Street in in front of the present City Hall he was on the first Lap of a Trail of Progress and development which would carry the names of Canada and might soon cease and thousands Manitoba round the world.

Or. Stewart said he had regarded an agreement As essential to of the Ottawa Confer ence. He had not expected and did not now respect a balance in. The Trade of the two countries for the reason that while both exported primary products Canada had much More to offer than new zealand in the Way of manufactured goods and had developed very extensive overseas markets for them lie realised that under present conditions the butter Trade with Canada could not Well be revived with the Aid of the 5-cent duty but there was always the possibility that circumstances would make such Trade feasible in the future. Before he left Foi Honolulu Many in the Dairying Industry had told him that the would be satisfied it new zealand were allowed the same duly Australia or.
