A STRONG ADVANCE

The various states have not yet had
time to enact legislation to cooperate with
the Social Security Act passed in 1885.
Neither has the legislation passed the
gauntlet of the Supreme Court on the ques-
ton of its constitutionality Notwithstand-
ing, however, there are Congressman al
ready eeking to extend and increase the
range of such legislation. Senator Frazier
of North Dakota and Representative Lun-
deem of Minnesota have proposed bill to
accomplish the following item of social
insurance" as expressed by Representative
Lundeen
'The Frazer-Lundeen bill combines
six systems of social insurance in one COM
prehensive plan, covering compensation
for unemployment; insurance of the self
employed, which is new in the history of
social insurance and which, for the first
time, covers self-employed professional
workers, farmers, and owners of small
businesses; disability insurance, including
all forms of disability, whatever their
cause; old age insurance; maternity insur-
ance; widows and mothers insurance"
All of which is rather comprehen-
sive plan.

OBSERVANCE OF LENT

The Lenten season, which is observed
by the Roman and Greek Catholic church
eS, as we'll as in some degree by the Church
of England, the Protestant Episcopal
Ash Wednesday, February &c, and will
continue until Easter Sunday, April II, a
period of forty days, not counting Sum-
days.
In the early years of the Christian era
the fast of Lent was observed for varying
periods, by some only one or two days and
by others for longer time, according to
the writings of IrenaeuS, Greek Bishop of
Lyons, in the second century. Pope Leo |,
in the fourth century, recommended the
fast of forty days as having apostolic au-
thority. This period was taken to COM
memorate the forty days fast of Moses, of
Elijah, and especially that of Christ.
Theoretically, at least, the faithful
abstain from food on fast days until eve
ming worldly amusements and secular cele-
are held to be undesirable during Lent.
The duty of fasting is modified with
respect to laboring people, children, and
women under certain conditions, but in
creased diligence in works of charity is
enjoined upon ALL as we'll as extraordinary
attention to all religious observances,
throughout this period.

Last August, Mr. William Aberhart
was elected premier of Alberta province,
Canada on a promise to pay social di-

Alberta. He told the voters not to worry

Now the Alberta legislature is in SEES
