RETRENCIIMEIVTS

The mtimates brought down ill the House of’ Conumms on Mon- day bear out previous nnticipatlons that drastic retrenchmcnts will be the order of the day. The Hon. E. N, Rhodes, Finance Minister, ask- ed Parliament. to appropriate $356.- '173,794 for the fiscal year 1932-33, which will open on Aprl 1st. This is about $30,000,000 less than the main estimate for last session, and 844,000,000 less than the total appropriation made 1'01- the cur- rent fiscal year. Reductions of a. sweeping character are taking place in every department. Only Iwo increases are recorded, one for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police of $485,139 more than the current estimate, and $4,600 in the provIs-' Ion for the Administration of Jus-, tlce. An item, however, which shows’ considerable advance is ‘Ills amount llloted to meet interest, on public debt, which shows an increase oi! $l3,204,92i_ This increase is not due; to increased borrowings, however}; but to the unfortunate circumstan- ces which compel the Government to pay interest on loans at New York rates. Among the reductions i: lIs interesting to note that t-hc, Cadet Service has been cut from! $400,000 to $100,000; the Naval st-r-l vice from $3,375,000 w $462,000,} aviation cut from $5,442,000 to 51,-‘ 750,000. Out of this reduced figure! n11 the expenses 1n connection with the air force, civil operation and air mail activities, have to be met. As previously aunounccci the Civil Service salaries and the indemnit- ics of parliamentarians have been cut 107-. 'I‘hcse are sfrenuous days for governments, Dominion and Provincial For a. while the re- strlction the circulation of money duc to those cuts will be ti; very keenly, but in the coursc ol‘ time fiscal matters will adjust thcnlselvcs, and the margin be- tween the cost of living and re- muneration nflll ‘be approximately who‘, it was before the collapse of 1920.

IICTES BY TIIE WAY

There Is room, my! a writer 1n Week End Review London for end- lPtS wonder in the quiet discipline and cohstitutlonuiism 01 the British character. Over-indulged, it might degenerate into a weakness, but at ilulcs oi’ crises it has mostly re- veled itself as an ‘ ‘he: ‘strength. We do not need to go ‘back as far as the war to find ex- amples; the way in which the public treated the general strike as though it were a species of national game and instinctively itook the refereelng of It into their lown hands baffled the watching world. What hope has revolution in a country in which, as happened this week, dockcrs on strike In the Port. of London pelted Communist agitators with powder colored red white and blue? MEIIIWIIIIQ John Citizen stands patiently in wet queues in order to pay his income tax on the _ nail. Something much worse has got to happen to the Englishman than has happened yct to break him or tum him nasty.

Once a woman admirer rushed up to James Wllitcomb Riley at a social affair. “Oh, Mr. Riley, I do so want to shake your hand. I hoard you get a dollar for every word you write in your poems." Mr. Riley was thoughtful. “But consider, madam." he said. "Some- times I sit all day and can't think of a single word to write."

Premier Bennett‘: genius for phrase-turning says the Sydney Post was neatly illustrated when he said, speaking in the debate 0n the Address, that» Canada's railway problem was due to the action of a Liberal Government in "creating [two rival trans-continental railway systems, and subsidizing each to de- stroy thc other." And the sting cf ‘this striking epgram is its truth.

Mr. King's petty observation that lPremier Bennett “must get rld of some oi’ his humbug policies," if the Economic Conference is to be a success, induces the suspicion that the Opposition leader would like to soc it end in failure. His echo of Mr. Thomas’ unfortunate lapse of lthc tongue ln designating Mr. lBennctlis trade proposal in London lln 1930 as "humbug." has an iron- ‘cal sound Just now. when the basis of that propcsal,-a 10 per ‘ccut tariff preference for Empire lpOOdS.—I5 embodied in‘ the measure

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN

m. - By lame: W. Burton. M.D MIDDLE LGE

"There is no need tor gloom. A man of middle age, when knowledge and experience have ripened into at least a sort of wisdom, may look forward to many rich years of l useful and happy life; but he must readjust his thinking and hi! habits-eating, drinking, sleeping and exercise. I-Ie finds he can no longer eat as once he did, and, as a matter of fact, he does not need the quantity of food he once nsumed. I-Ie must give greater care to his sleeping, and secure a complete night's rest, and he can no longer indulge in hard exercise. Making a sudden sprint to catch a street car is no longer an innocent pastime; it may be highly dangerous. He finds himself obliged to consider many things never before given a thought. It Is no longer wise to live at high pressure; life must flow with more ease and more slowly."

The above information and ad- vice is from the United States Pub- ilc Health Service and is certainly of great value to all middle aged folk-men and women.

The big point is that the Indivi- dual should remember that he ls o1 middle age and has ‘his best years or mental attainment ahead of him. His body may not be quite as lim- ber, but his mind has taught him just what is best for him Irom the food standpoint; he knows that to do his best work he must have a complete night's rest; and he knows also that while he must-take reg- ular exercise if he is to keep fit, that exercise must not be severe.

Chauncey DePew lived to be over ninety because he had learned two things. First that wllen he went to a. banquet, or dinner, and he aver- aged four or five a week, he ate just what he knew from experience, would agree with him, and nothing else. Second. no matter what the occasion, or the hour at which it started he made it a point to be home and in bed not later than 11 P. M. -

In regard to exercise there isn't any reason why any middle aged individual should not do two things. First. take a walk every day of twenty minutes to a half hour at a medium rate or speed. This will 'kccp heart and lungs in shape. Sec-

ond, do some bending exercises, with

knees straight, every day. This will fkccp the abdominal organs-liver, stomach, intestines-in good condi- tion.

In other words, at any age, there are only three things to think about —food, rest. nnd exercise. Common scllsc In these three necessities o! life will insure good health.

Maritime Union Again

(Fredericton Gleaner)

The expected has happened in re- gard to the proposal o! Premier Bracken of Manitoba, that "Prairie Union" should be undertaken, with the object of uniting Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. into one province. Ontario newspapers have l-vturned to one of their early loves, Maritime Union. as on editorial subject. The fact is that the pro- posal of Prcmer Brackcn with re- gard to three provinces with few conflicting interests. has fal- len very, very flat. A little ridi- cule and some fun was poked at Manitoba's Premier because of the very obvious attempt to drag the red herring of "Prairie Union" across the trrlil of provincial administra- tion which is leading direct to a general election with the Bracken Government on the defensive.

As might be olvpectedone of the seats of agitation with regard to Maritime Union, is Ottawa. The spcctacle oi’ the Dominion Carpital producing press comment to the cffect that economy could be cltfect- ed by uniting the three Maritime Province-s, is humorous. The great- est field for economy in Canada lies in the Federal Capital itself. Application of the pruning-knife there on the SCHIP threatened by some provincial government, would make a saving which would be amazing.

There is a slight indicatbn in some sections of Ontario that there ls some increase 1n knowledge of the Marliimes and their problems. TIIGVTOTGIICO Globe has stated that the attitude of Prince Edward Is- land toward the mythical Maritime- Union is negative because "it would cmt her money to lose her identity." The obvlausness of this common‘. is plain.
