Yet I venture to say that nothing written yet even begins to sum up the real picture of this good woman, noble soul a.rid great Canadian. In a way she personified the whole organized farm movement in Canada. Certainly sh was the most vital daughter that the Ontario farm ever sent onto the public platform. .She told me once that whni .he was about 12 years of age she was "sent to school, away firm the farm home and into the nearby city. The city girls wore ''.store clothes" but Agnes was dressed in what hid been home-made on the farm. The town kids poked cruel fun at the ruralites. She fiercely identified herself with .the farm people, then and always. ' 4 IN HER prime Agnes was a ' dynamic speaker, with a Ren ius for moving crowds, especially farm crowds. Her quick wit Vw .. ,,il, t mtauraea u second class moll by the Pit Office D"partment. Ottaira Time Out on Drydock TEMPORARY true;, has hern nached on the , A dryrlock and rhipyard issue. That is all that is neant by the decision to postpone i-losuiv until the vi of September. The federal iiovcrnmc..!t's deei-ion to get rid of the structure in any way possible apparently remains unchanged, but the concession has been made that there is too much at stake to permit hasty action. While no victory has been won, the important of the concession should not he underestimated. Besides being a gesture of respect to those who battled with such force to protect this property, the pot-l- i ponement has the tangible benefit of assuring our lit lung fleet that its maintenance and repair needs will be met for at least one more season. ' If the annual loss to the government in operating the plant is placed at $200,000, it means that Prince Rupert's protest which resulted in a six- ; month extension was worth $100,000, plus the busi- : ness created by continued operation of the ship- 1 yard. Although the long-term projilem . remains j uteoked, it eannof be said. that the time--and effort I ipent in pressing tlie case haveliedi in, vain". But the acthiji at Ottawa aiso ,h:ls its disap- pointing features.'- Not only does it fail to change j the unconditional terms of sale, but it suggests that : the government has no prospective buyer in sight. I When the for-sale announcement was originally I made at such short notice, there was hope amid the disappointment and shock that a buyer already had been located. Possibly this is indeed the case, but a ; delay in action hardly indicates it. Pessimism at this point, however, must at all ; costs be averted. Prince Rupert has revealed to all that it has real faith in-the potentialities of this ! waterfront property, and its fighting stand is certain to have created a wide impression. The course of action now is to keep this interest alive, and from it could easily emerge the very deal we want. OTTAWA DIARY By Norman M.
