This is a busy week for the work
ers of the Presbyterian church. The
new minister Sydney A. Walker has
called for a series of council meet
lngs in order that he might be ac-
quainted with the work each organ
lzatlon proposes to attempt for the
year. Monday night the Elders met
IN the pastors study and discussed
the plan of dividing the town into
groups with a leader in each group
so that the whole constituency of
the church could be taken care of
in a thorough manner
Tuesday night the trustees met
with the pastor and the question of
finances was taken up. The financi-
al outlook is encouraging. It is pro
posed that a new boiler be put in
the Manse to take the place of the
old one.
Tuesday afternoon the officers of
the Ladies' Aid, and also those of
the Missionary Study class met at
the Manse and the work and possible
goals for the year were considered.
The probability is that a regular Mis-
sionary society will be formed in the
near future.
On Wednesday evening the Chris
tian Endeavor will meet with the
pastor and plans for aggressive
work will be discussed. The young
people are anxious to be active and
will undoubtedly find plenty of
work to their taste.

the Sunday school workers on Fri
day evening. This will be held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. 0. c..

purely altruistic or selfish. The can

he is a nominee, will turn to the ra-

with the voters of the country.
Bonus and Tax Bills.
The legislative body is deeply
! concerned as to the attitude of the
President on the Bonus bill and tax
revision. The former has been Civ
en- preference on the Senate calen-
dar and its passage is predicted by
members of the Senate committee
on Finance. The Bonus bill is close
Iy identified with the tax measure
as there is a question of providing
revenue for compensation and insur-
ance. The immigration bill with the
japanese exclusion feature presents
another grave problem to the Chief
Executive, as it is an international
problem of Importance.
Among the signs of changing
times is the recognition that "pres-
idential years" have nothing to do
with slumps in employment and in
business. Two members of the Cab
met, Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon, and Secretary of Commerce
Hoover, both recognized authorities
on financial economics, claim that
business continues at even keel. They
have been unable to vote any seri-
Gus effects of political turmoil in
American business. Secretary Mel
lon claims that slight slumps in in
dustrial activity, which occur at reg
ular intervals in all years, are un-
duly stressed during campaign per-
iods. In a recent talk with CORES
pondents he recalled the Garfield
campaign, many years ago, and
pointed out that at the outset of the
campaign coke sold for 60 cents a
ton and the price advanced to $500 !
at the close of the Presidential cleo
tions.
Secretary Hoover is of the opin-
ion that there has been a slacken-

The House has passed a bill which
is intended to mark out clearly the

bill sponsored by Mr.. Ketcham, of

products throughout the world and a

opments in the agricultural situation

The time of the House Interstate
Commerce committee has been TAX
en- up with consideration of several
bills dealing with ~mis-branding of
merchandise. The so-called French
"truth-in-fabric" bill, and the Reece
shoe tag measure were the principal
bills before the committee. 1t is
doubtful if legislation of this kind
will be enacted at this session. Con-
siderable opposition has DEVELOPED
among the committee members bas-
ed on the belief that enormous ex-
pe%ndltures would be required to en-
force mis-branding legislation and
that relatively few prosecutions
could be effected.

Calls for Aid

Santa Claus mechanic at Kelley
Bros. store has issued an appeal for
aid. and we feel sure that the kind
hearted Gardiner people will not let
1t go by unanswered. Santa Claus
has done great work here. and has
pleased dozens of youngsters with
his expert repair work, but now he
must call upon some kind hearted
person to help out the situatf One
little girl brought him a rather dip
laditaed doll to fix and Santa did his
usual good job. but found that he
could not furnish a pair Of brown
eyes to complete the work. 1t is very
likely that in someone's attic there Is
a discarded doll equipped with beau
tiful big brown eyes that would fit
this little girls doll. Ii will bring
happiness to both the mechanic and
to the little girl il such a pair of
