A GOOD PRECEDENT?

A writer in the Vancouver Pro- vince thus comments on the pro- vincial political situation:

"The suggestion that at least one member or the victorious Liberal super-flux in the Prince Edward Island Legislature shall be appoint- ed as the oflicisl opposition is notj so simple of settlement as it looks.- The custom in the sportin! World. where you are able to lend a man to the opposing team if’ they an? short, might not be so good in pol- itics.

“In the first place, what would you call the man? His Majesty's loyal opposition is the general term used for oppositions, but if he were on the same side as the govern- ment you would have to call him His Majesty's disloyal opposition- and that would leave him open to arrest and other disgraceful and unpleasant things.

"Mr. Lea contends that he doesn't want an opposition and that all criticism of proposed legislation can very well come from govern- ment benches. But that would be terrible. They would all go to sleep and the stare would be demoraiized. “There is, however, a good pre- cedent for M3‘. Leo's notion as we have found here. No less a figure than that of the Mayor of Van- couver (Hon. C. G. McCieer), sitting as number for Bimard in the Vic- wrl-I- Moombly. has shown clearly that a man may be elected upon a Liberal platform and become in the House practically a’ one-man op- position to every act of his party while he still remains within its fold for purposes of any argument that may come up in connection with his other offices."

In his second campaign speech, Rt. I-lon. W. L. Mackenzie King reproduces his party programme of 1938 which moat people, including Liberal politicians themselves, had forgotten. The general election at that time was expected to be held in 1934, and as it wasn't the plat- form was consigned to limbo only to be rescued and revivified now at the eleventh hour.

There are already 294 candidates in the field seeking election to fill the sixty-three rests in the Alberta mgialature. By nomination day it is expected that there will be at least four candidates in each rid- ing, with as many as six in some! These include United Farmers, Con- servatives, Liberals, social Credit representatives of two brands, Com- munists and Socialists, Laborites and Independents. Probably never before in the history of Canadian politics has there been such a var- iety of aspirants for omce.

Here is a tip for Hon. Mr. Leal from France. In an heroic endeav- our to balance his budget Premier Laval has decided to reduce gov- ernment expenditure by $750,000,000, and intends doing so by outs rang- ing flrom 10 per cont. downwards in the pensions of err-servicemen, ex- railway men, ex-cfvil servants: aim- ilar reductions in all civil service salaries; a redirction of interest in government bonds. loans and other securities, ,,ether with increased taxation‘ on incomes. This is to be offset in some measure by compul- sory reductions in the price of bread, gas, electricity and other commodities. The Prime Minister is acting under general authority conferred on him by the legislat- ure which is not in session. If it were, it would probably have refus- ed its sancqon to some of the cuts and taxes.

pears that prospects are excellent in Manitoba, favourable in Bas- karchewan and only fair in Alberta. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports that crop conditions in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, as at June 30th, were 100 per cent. and 07 per cent. of the long-term aver- ages, respectively: in each case the condition figure is the highest since the corresponding date in 1928, and over 20 per cent. better than at June 30th, 1034. The outstanding feature of this improvement is, of course, the restoration of soil mola- ture in many of the dried-out dis- tricts, particularly in south-western Manitoba and south-camera Sas- katchewan. South-western Saa- kaishewan is the unfortunate ex- ception, for there prospects are poor. In Alberta, the condition was reported as 90 per cent. of normal at June 80th. Although the season opened favourably in this Province,

the crop has deteriorated in the south owing to lack of rain. Harv- esting will probably begin from one to two weeks later than usual. ‘Iihe danger o1 frost is thus very real, particularly in the “north. Rust, too, may injure the growing grain; it has recently appeared in southern Manitoba.

The Japanese Datsim car, at $570, is making steady progress in Japan, and its popularity is in- creasing for taxi purposes because of its low running costs. It is said to run 50 miles on a gallon of gaso- line and to attain a speed of 40 miles an hour. Competition on for- eign markets may be rendered pos- sible because of the comparatively low cost of production in Japan and the advantages of a depreciated ex- change, but the Japanese product of standard make cannot yet com- pete with the Chevrolet and Ford manufactured under mass produc- tion methods, even on the Japan- ese market.

A business man weighed 13o pounds which was about thirty pounds above what he considered l his normal weight,

He had some extra responsibili- ties placed upon him at the end of a month he found he had lost ten pounds. This didn't bother him much because he was over- weight anyway.

The whole secret of his loss of weight was worry and loss of sleep. He not only had worked late at his office but had carried his business. home with him and found that he ‘sometimes slept but two or three ‘ hours during the night.

By taking the month's vacation he got about 1000 miles away from his office where of course he could not be reached easily. At the end of the month he found that he was sleep-

He returned ‘to his office in splendid shape with a clear head and a rested body. ‘ The big point about sleep is that ,ft removes the tension from the , body. If you'll observe anyone sound asleep you'll notice that all the muscles of the body—iegs, arms. body, face-are all lax or loose, and this means that the whole body with muscles is at nearest to complete rest that the human body can attain.
