In. the ordinary workaday world they don't get too much oppertur for mingling with their old comrades of th little thinner as to: hair, bi In fact it could s of Remembrance Day. Five Remembrance Days have been kept since the Second War ended, and there i little outward trace now of the alr plete, dislocation of Canadian life ted fon more than five years, re not so easily: w ho wore uniform, and will remain for life. When we take part in the: services on Friday and Sunday; it would be well to think of war, What.ig it? What does it do to men and nations? How. does it start? How can it be prevented? Wh it that almost everyone hopes and prays . for peace and yet wars begin? These are all questions for saber consideration. They are not properly answered by blaming Ger- many or Russia or some other coyntry. The only real answer is that given by Edith Cavell: Patriotism is not enough: the: must be no hatred or bitterness in my heart, towafd. anyone. He s Had It Civil servants are not given to hasty action. The: resignations of Commissioner F. A. McGregor and Deputy Commissioner T. M. MacKeigan, of the Combines Investiga- tion Act, were not made without due con- sideration. They were tendered, as Mr. McGregor pointed out in his letter to Hon. Styart Garson, Minister of Justice, because he had felt for some time that the govern- ment was not desirous of prosecuting on the basis of Mr. McGregor's reports. The matter apparently came to a head in connection with the investigation into the flour milling and baking industry. Mr. McGregor's re- port'on this industry, which was submitted to the government December 29, 1948, was not published until this week, although the law says that such a report shall be tabled in the House of Commons within fifteen days of the minister receiving it. Mr. McGregor, in recent years, has in- vestigated the fruit marketing, tobacco manufacturing and distributing, optical goods, dental supplies, and baking and flour milling industries. No successful prosecu- tions have been made owing, it is stated, to loopholes in the law which Mr. McGregor wished to have plugged. Legislation for this purpose has not yet been passed. The situation is an unhappy one, A distingush- ed civil servant has apparently been handi- capped by the government in his efforts to serve the people of Canada, The said peo- ple would like to know a Ijttle more about it, and some. of their representatives in the House dre determined to find out. 0. About Your Rent There has been some hot discussion and som furious thinking since Mr, Abbott an- nounced at Ottawa on Friday that rent in- creases of 20 and 25 per cent would be per- titted by the Federal government after December 15. From this distance it looks as if the Federal government intends to put -Tent control into the hands of the provinces which have so far successfully: dodged this gt; highly explosive issue. The 1 large Liberal majority in the present House: of Commons has evidently strengthened the govern- ment's determination to get rid of all con- trols as quickly as possible, Laurent has already: put himself on record as being opposed to any Federal housing subsidy, and the dropping of rental control is another step in the direction of placing all bui Iding and renting outside official control. Repercussions have been cor ing in ifast from many trade unions and tenant groups across the country, and Mr. Abbott's mail these days is fairly warm. The effect on the people who work for wapes an people on fixed incomes of a bovst o: cent can be imagined. The increase must come from some other part of their regular expenditure and, with many people. this means a cut in clothing or food purchises. carried by many more than those eee ands .

The Legion is like a bugler sounding the when there is no wolf. The Legio nis like a bugler sounding the alarm the warning that a sinister enemy is at the gates. The governments will ignore that warning at its own cost and to our shame, if we let them This is not an easy thing at any time,-and particularly at the beginning of winter. All the justice is not on the side of the tenant. Many landlords today are not get- ting a fair return on their investments, and many others are being deprived of accom- modation they need for themselves or their relatives, Quite a;number of people have bought houses for their own occupation in recent years and have been kept out of them by tenants who have taken advantage of loopholes in the tental legislation: The ac4 cumulated total of complaints on this score in the files of rentals administration must be great. It should have been possible to piadinit most of the, existing grievances and to re- lieve any genuine hardships without ping.the whole of the regulations. It is still possible that provincial intervention may save some grief, but the provinces are not anxious to take over, and probably will only do so under strong pressure from their own residents.

In another section of the Advocate, Kerry Wood wrote in his column Nature Near Home regarding this type of bird, one of which had been bagged by E. B. Farnell. Mr. Wood said. this queer duck is also known as a Horse-duck. It frequently nests around the larger lakes in our district, according to Kerry Wood and C. H, Snell.
