Infant’s Nursery At Rideau

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 14—In a news page report of the birth of a son to Earl and Countess of Bess- borough. the Journal statesz-It is now sixteen years since there has been a nursery at Rideau Hall. In 1916 when-the Duke of Devonshire came to Canada as Governor-Gen- eral, his youngest child, Lady Anne Cavendish, was seven years of age. The beautiful nursery and playroom was fitted up for the little girl. It is understood that plans are now under way for an infant's nursery to be installed at Rideau Hall, ad- joining Her Excellencys suite. spe- cial nurses for the baby have been engaged and the furnishings and fittings o! the nursery will be the simplest of design. ‘

"The return of the child regime at Rideau Hull recalls memories of the happy family associations of past Governors-General. It will be within the memory of many that the present Earl of Minto, who married a Canadian. Miss Marion Cook. of Montreal, was only seven years of age when his father be- came Governor-General in 1898. Lady Ruby Elliott and Lady Violet Elliott were nine and twelve years of age at the time. Lady Violet is now tho wife of Colonel John Jacob Astor, M. P.. a son of Lord Astor."

QUEBEC CONSERVATIVE LEAD- ER OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN IN MONTREAL

i.

MONTREAL. Aug. 14—Demand- ing the overthrow of the Liberal Government which has held power in Quebec for 34 years, Mayor Cam- illien Houde tonight launched the campaign which will end at the polls on Aug. 24. Thousands of his supporters crowded the hall and the grounds of the Meilleur school to hear him begin his first general el- ection fight since he became the leader of Quebec Conservatives.

Mayor Houde will contest two constituencies in the forthcoming el- ections, he announced He is al- ready a candidate for re-election in St. Mary's and his avowed intention in contesting St. James seat is to open it for a Minister.

Charging Rremier Tascliereau with hypocrisy in discussing unem- ployment relief, Mayor Houde de- clared the Government had mock~ ed the relief plans of Prime Min- yister Bennett and managed public works to suit its own ends. He ac- cused thc Government of passing the Jewish school Bill in 1930 for the purpose of “stealing" Montreal municipal elections, and repealing the law when it failed to serve its purpose. .

Referring to the Beauharnols project, Mr. Houde said the Quebec Government had hurried a bill through the logislatlve Assembly granting rights to the organization, although Hon. Arthur sauve, then Conservative loader. protested the question should be more fully con- sidIed.

Situation In Bri But Not Irretrievable, Says ~ Hon. Neville Chamberlain

tdin Serious,

“the Government should not only state their intention of balancing the budget, but should show unmis- takably they intend to take what- ever steps are necessary for the purpose and they should be taken without delay. The Government has not yet convinced foreign opinion they are in earnest and it is essen-
