bominion And Three ‘ or Four ‘Provincial

Elections Will Be ' Held.

Charles Bruce. Canadian has w Staff Writer)

,1 politics exist as a ﬁreside topic @1916 the old timers of that day vlm look back four decades m a year of many ballots. Not since 1908 has Canada faced the prospect of ﬁ-much voting as she does in i935.

‘Alain action of the year's political hpstillties will be of course the Hominion general election; but at idlst three and probably four sup- plementary engagerne its will be fought out along provincial lines. Alberta, New Brunswick‘ and Prince

rd Island must choose new legislatures. Quebec probabl will.

{Should the provinces dec de in ‘oali. their voting for Federal elec- tbn day a situation unique in Can- adian history would result, but there are precedents for simultan- W1i0lIl1hl0H-pIOVlI1Clﬂl voting on a-slnnller scale.

"The Dominion and Nova Scotla voted twice on the same day: Sept. 17, 1878 and June 20. 1882. On two owaeions provinces have voted to- gether: Alberta and New Brunswick ﬂme ‘l9, 1930 and Sadratchewan and (Iitario on that date last year. &ck in the Confederation year the l Noemi election extended from Aug. ' "l-to Sept. 20, and during that per- ' (Jntario, Nova Scotia and. Que-

bec held their elections.

’ ‘Analysis of Canada's political _ history shows that in 1908 six el-

ections were held in Canada-Fed- . Saskatchewan, New Bruns- wick, Ontario, Prince Edward Is- < lﬂld and Quebec. but all on differ- - ﬂit days. Away back in 1886 a rec- ord was set when all the seven jifbvinces within the confederation

chose their legislatures. Alberta ' ' Saskatchewan were not then vinces.

jﬂhe Dominion has had few years free from activity around the slot ' . Min tin box through which the pol-

, ﬁlial fortune ﬂows. After Confed- clltion there was no eoessit to Vote until 187i, when the fouror- iginal provinces went to the polls. .~.

H1‘. JOHN'S, Nfld., Jan. iii-When

Sir Wilfred Grenfell writes to the 8t. John's newspapers, his remarks are studied and almost the some interest. as that afforded a govern- ment communique for the noted mhsinnary weaker is no stranger in ths_ northland vhlch he throws light on. His sympathetic under- standing and suggested policies are valued highly in the Old Colony.

His latest epistlc. reviewing the work of the peoples that are dear toniimreedsalmostlike aSpeeoh from the Throne, issued from his northern Kingdom.

"The most successful we have had, have been a dock in the north, which really‘ seems to be helping the fishermen greatly; the agriculture m all the vlllnses. which is now producing many tons of pot- atoes, turnips, cabbazes, and other vegetable foods to add to the health of the people of the north; and our industrial work," Sir Wilfred states.

‘The people are making such good things now that we have been able to market quite a lot, both on the coast to the tourists, which is the best way; and also in.New York, London, Scotland and Montreal, which means e. little money to so may houses that it makes a great deal of difference to the women and families.

The misskmI-YY worker is elated over the manufacturing of ladies’ shoes from cod fish. "They are perfectly splendid" he exclaims. He is enthusiastic, too. over a regular weekly boat service from Montreal. Discuss’ lg his plans for extens!on he continues with the. bright pros- pect: “we are going to rebuild Cartwright after the fire and will hope to put a good fireproof chil- dren's home and boarding school there, and also a small hospital in connection with Dr. Padderrs dis- trict. which will have a doctor in summer only, but will be open to everyone who comes along to Cart- Wrights."

Sir Wilfred rejoices that "now the entrances to Cartwright har- bor have been thoroughly finished and charted by H. M. S. Challen- ger" but adds that "there is great room for more tourist travel."

lie reports tlmt the small roy- alty on "Grenfell cloth” has this year paid all expenses of one nurs- ing station.

"It may interest your readers al- so to know that the volunteer crew that went down to bring up a load of blue stone seem to think that there is a gcod market for it, and that it might b" also a little help to give work in the north which h so sorely needed."

The leadev of the great Mission- ary society aye lie is "longing for Newfoundland to tackle the proh- lem cf a. road" which would con- nect up the northern settlements with the capital. Even a rough trail which would permit a sturdy oar to travel at l0 miles an hour wwld be a boon to the lonely shore settle- ments. he points out. Such a thoroughfare would enable the sick to mach hospitals and doctors. "Indeed," continues the letter. "we have out trails ourselves and: south as Canada Bay and over to Flowers Cove." He said he believ- ed many of the villagers wouldglve freely of their time in constructing the thoroughfare if a co-opemtive movement wem given leadership by the government. '

Sir Wilfred regrets that his in- creasing age has made it difficult for him to visit St. John's more of- ten but expresses the hope that he may be able to fly down to the

summer and ‘hear at first hand some of the new efforts that we read of and hear of, and which seem to be bringing hope for our people.

the pale-face who came to kill an‘ to steal. Years passed and still th- trelr continued. . Frontiers wer

ers held much of the land an" owned many horses and cattle. Th: yodeling cowboy rode the plains. More years passed, ranchu gs place to beautiful farms and the westward march went on. The West became noted for its wheat and soon was known as the gran-

millions of bushels into giant ele- vators and floug mills.

The call of the West had been answered. Patient toil had van- quished unheard of dimculties Courage had endured the prlvaticmo of homesteading and now happin ess reigned. Schools and churche which had accompanied the pldn eer from the beginning continued to ﬂourish. The lmst had given of her best to the West and together they made a mighty Canada.

But the scene changes. and with astonishing rapidity. It is as if nzt- ure suddenly became awars‘ that man has won his happiness a little too easily and he must be tested still further if he is to prove worthy of the beneﬁts which he is to receive. Nature is not cruel. She, merely demands strength for hard tasks.

Rain. that most blessed o! heav- BII-Bﬂm Sifts ‘came at less frequent intervals. There was‘ little snow in winter. The yield of grain crops dim‘ ‘ ” ’ amreciably- One, two three years passed and the amount of rainfall lessened each year. Cars could be driven on the country wads all winter. Crops withered soon after they sprang up. Even the prairie itself lost its greenness. 1t was found necessary in many places to provide relief and this task the church and. government assumed. Every wish was that sure- ly next year rain would come and crops would retuzn. Next year came but these conditions did not im- Drove. A fourth year rolled around and with it returned the drought in even more severe proportions and with it the silent but ruthless destroyers or all vegetable life, the grasshoppers. Now indeed the condition was serious. Every effort was put forth by the government to relieve stricken fam- ilies. Carloads of relief clothing and food came from the lliast. Those having sent their sons to the West were going t9 d_o their part in keep- ing tlrem alive in their hard earn- ed homes. Winter came and passed somehow and the year 1984 arrived with its possibility of new life and
