Those Cur Ferry Riates

The rcsoltiiziui passed by the Stiininerside Board of Trade iii protest zigainst the exorbi- tant truck rates charged on the (Jovernnleiit- ouiicil liordeti-Z‘oriiieiitiue car ferry isia strong inil coiiviiiciiiig t-lic. llope i5 expressed that this nutter will be taken up by otir Willi-rill YCDFCMEH- tatiu-s, and ill-ti they will continue their efforts: until some action is taken.

the.“ exoi-liitriiii rates have been a matter of genuine grievance for a long time. (inverti- men-ts. when pressed, have “passed the buck" to the railway aiutlioritics, and they iii tum.

Cortaiiili-J no other province would toler- ate it, as we have done, year after year, and continue going hat in hand to the bureaucrats at Rloucton and Montreal, and to the politicians at Ottawa, begging vairrly for restitution of rights we should have enjoyed contiuuouslY gincg Coiifetlcration, and for the withholding of which we should now be demanding many millions of dollars in shipping losses incurred by our farmers and business men.

Unfortunately for this Province, politics loo often blinds us to our own interests; as was the case in this matter, when the opportunity presented itself of speaking with a united voice. It will be recalled that the car ferrY i551“? W35 presented fairly and squarely by the Conserva- tive Party on the occasion of the visit here last May of Hon. john Bracken. Speaking at the Bracken meeting in the leader's presence and ivitli his express approval, Mr. Henry Borden, K. C., declared:

"Your transportation problem has always been a difficult one. Difficult because it has been tackled ii. a piecemeal manucr and on the basis of political expediency. We must Pul a" 2nd to that. One of the aims of Confederation was that there should be no barrier to inter- provincial trade. Your geﬂgrﬂphiﬁﬂl Position has imposed such a barrier. \Ve see no rea- son why that condition should not be recti- fied and promptly. \\"e bclicvc that the water route from Borden to Cape Tormentine should be in effect a ilational highway.

Canadian commitments for iitcriizitioiizil economic assistance are now at the rate of $l'/2 billion a year. That is quite a slice of the income of the Canadian people.

is the basis of the Russian situation. The plan, however, places the farmer iust as much in the power of the state as do these others. for it provides that the production of each farm will be decided by Government officials, and the success attained in obeying orders will be check- ed by tliem,'witb the usual pciialiv of economic liquidation of any “kulaks" who may not fall in with the orders given them.

Treasure

Herbert Liiigartl, a plowuiaii of "lctney, l village near Grimsby, England, was told to make an extra deep furrow. And, being a good workman, this was done. Morris \Valter Holden. a land worker, came the next day to drain the field. Near the extra deep furrow he fotiiid loo coins, says The London Daily Mail.

They were Anglo-Saxon pennies, buried in the field 1.000 years ago by a Tetney man who feared iiii attack by Danish marauders.

The coins were of the time of King Edred, 946 to 955; King Eclwy, 955 to 959, and King lidgar, 959 to- 975.

They were contained in a piece of chalk which had been gouged out to hold the coins and flattened at the top for the lid.

At an inquest at Grimsby on the treasure trove, it was decided that Holden was the finder. He will get a reward.

An order has gone forth in Government circles that married women whose husbands are gainfully employed intist quit the service. As of last April I it had been estimated there were 1,046,000 women gainfully employed apart from another 31,000 women in the forces and 800,- 000 on farms. \\’hcn the war in Europe ended, regulations affecting them in thc employment field were removed and they now have the frec- doiii of seeking their own iobs, or staying at home minding the baby or th: baby's dad.
