Changes at Ottawa
The political situation at Otta-
wa the past week or so has been
somewhat exciting, with the two
old parties struggling for suprem-
acy and the Progressives jump-

ing both ways and sometimes be-
The}

ing’ caught up in the air. e
last davs of last week found the].
boys saying nasty things to each
other. It was all over the report
of the customs investigation com-
mittee and whether or not the
government should be censured.
’. This gave the Progressive the
opportunity to revolt. Some of
them were shocked at the graft-
ing and smuggling permitted for
some years in the customs depart-
ment. They were also getting
tired of the eniptv promises, the
bullying and threats of the Lib-
erals and they practically forced
MacKenzie King to resign.

The Conservative Leader was
requested to form.a cabinet and
on Tuesday afternoon Mr. Meigh-
en faced parliament as Premier
of Canada. Oo

The new premier’s position is
far from an easy one. He will
probably seek dissolution of par-
liament as soon as possible and
go to the country at an enrly date,
in which ease he should be re-
turned with a substantial work-
ing majority.. This would bring
about stable government in Can-
ada gnce more,. something that

has not, been ‘enjoyed for several |

years.

Four fishermen from the United
States went ‘fishing on the Cains
River, New Brunswick, for 18 days
recently, and caught 340 fish. State
Senator Bradford, of Tridiana, caught
a 48-inch salmon weighing 27
pounds. Others in the party were:

Fred N. Peet, Dr. B. R. Zimmerman

and D, H. Faxon. Only. barbless
hooks were used so that no fish were
either killed or injured. -

The second largest outdoor swim-
ming pool in Canada has been opened
at Lake Louise on the’ Terrace be-
tween: the dining room of the Cha-
teau and the Lake. The new pool is

100 feet. long and 40 feet wide. It

is surrounded by tall concrete col-
umis between which there are gi-
gantic sheets of plate glass, pro-
viding a wind: break against ‘cool
breszes.

Approximately 120,000 live fish,

fresh from American hatcheries,

Yards, Windsor Station, Montreal,
recently, on their way to Beauchaine,
