Searcher of the Heavens Galileo Galilei (1564-1642),

monly known by his first name was one of the most scientific geniuses who ever lived. Everything he touched turned to knowledge in his hands.

Meditating on the laws of fall- ing bodies,.Galileo announced that

Galileo was orship—for being right.

Acting on hints which filtered in from Holland, Galileo made a telescope. Peering with it from the top of his house, he discover- ed that the planet Jupiter has moons. He saw the mountains of our own moon, and the majestic rings of Saturn,

Galileo next announced that the earth is not the center of the uni- verse, but that it moves around the sun. This commonplace bit of information caused an explosion. The old astronomer was haled be- fore the authorities and threaten- ed with punishment if he did not recant his wicked statement about the earth’s motion. Since no ques- tion of conscience was involved, jhe at last recanted. But in the | same moment he muttered under | his breath, “Nevertheless, it does | move.”

Dear Bonnie: | Tempo — tempo — tempo-—-1 am sure you must think there is noth- ing else in a play. Well, that is | how important it is and one thing that many directors pay little at- tention to. British Adjudicators who do the Regional Festivals across Canada and the Dominion Drama Finals in May, mention Tempo and Movement as_ being two phases. of dramatic produc- tion that Canadians with few ex- ceptions are most lacking in, So with that to prove my point, let's} get along.

After concentrating your think- ing and studying on scenes, then consider the individual actors in the scenes, then consider the tempo of individual speeches. Study the speech, 1 mean the im- portant speeches at first until you get accustonted to doing it. Find the main idea in them and plan the phrasing or grouping of words so that the main thought stands out. Sometimes an actor will read very swiftly and casually over the introductory words in a sentence, and then pause just before he de- livers. the ‘punch’ words. This} study of the individual speeches and their phrasing will help you to know how to instruct the actor without reading his lines for him. I would suggest that often this instruction should be in the form of a question to provoke him to further thinking about the mean- ing of the line, digging out the implication behind the lines.

As you study the individual speeches in the play, watch for sharp changes in mood. What is mood? It is a result of something that has happened. Mark them so that you may be on the alert to note if the actor catches the sig- nificance of these contrasts ‘and emphasizes them. Frequently in a single sentence, the drama, or humour, or pathos is brought out by a sudden change in the way one portion of the line is read. A skilled player sensitive to these twists of mood can move his audi- ence from laughter to a lump in the throat in a brief space of one sentence. As you study the lines, mark sudden shifts in mood with a vertical line between the two portions of the speech. Then in rehearsal, this will call that change to your attention. If the

it to his attention, saying perhaps “John, Watch that shift in mood.” Then when he catches it have him mark it too and memorize it. If you desire a player to re- member an important word in a line, suggest that he place a verti- cal mark or a check before the word, Do not let them underscore it. That usually means one thing |to amateurs. EMPHASIS, and the result is a heavily accented word. The vertical or check mark serves as a signal to catch his attention and will likely result in a pause, just what you expect him to do— | pause before the important word, or phrase,

This study of tempo including contrasting tempo naturally brings us to a discussion of rhythm. We

The more you study these dra- matic rhythms, the further you will go beyond these simple sug- gestions, But in your first long play you learn to work for con- trast and more contrast. The pro- duction will have a beat of rhythm that is rare indeed in amateur shows and will bring you sincere plaudits from every side.

I can hear you give a big sigh of relief, Bonnie, as if to say “Thank goodness that lesson is over.” But there is another to} come.

You may find the stage will not hold all the furniture you think you need, or that the doors and windows are not in the right place. Then you must do one of two things. Discard the pieces that are not essential to the action or substitute smaHer pieces of furni- ture. To do this effectively, study the action of the play and discover whether three people ever sit at one time on the chesterfield. If so, you will have to, keep the large chesterfield.

If a piano is needed in the action, then plan for a piano on stage unless your carpenter is smart and can make you a replica in a smaller version and the per- son who plays it can sit down, and .with a record well-times, ap- pear to be playing the piano, If the play calls for a fireplace, it is either a case of a fireplace or changing the lines accordingly.

Watch that a large piece of furniture does not block an important en- trance from the spectators, and guard against the monotony of | pieces of furniture in a straight line.

A good rule is to place your chairs and couch in eonversational groupings, and leave the centre a playing

stage area with furniture. People can always sit on arms of chairs or chesterfields. Use furniture with a dull finish if you wish a handsome setting.

Shallow stages present many problems. Fortunately you do have enough room for a comfort- able cross-over behind the scenery at the back. One director did not take care of this and when the night of the show came, he found his main character was penned up on the wrong side of the stage, so he climbed through a window, ran around the building, climbed in another window on the right side for his entry, and came dash- |ing on stage all out of breath and |several minutes late, Naturally the audience giggled. They had been tense wondering what had happened and the actress on stage had to keep repeating a song she was singing because she had only learned the first verse. An impor- tant moment was ruined. If you must eliminate doors, study the play carefully before you decide which doors to aban- don. In a farce, the author uses }several doors to keep the action moving rapidly, letting an actor out one door while someone comes in another. So do not eliminate one of the important doors, or you may delay the action and find that two characters who are not supposed to know of each other's presence, meet each other just outside the same door several times during the play. This type of thing will not be graciously a¢- cepted by the audience.

Provincial Mediation Board

Mediation, according to a dic- tionary definition, is “the action of trying to bring about friendly relations,” In Saskaktchewan, the Provincial Mediation Board, De- partment of the Attorney General, takes this concept in attempting to help parties in certain types of disputes to reach a friendly set- tlement, as satisfactory as pos- sible to all concerned,

The administration of legisla- tion designed to protect both rural and urban debtors and creditors, and to arrange an orderly settle- ment of obligations ,comes under the Board's jurisdiction. So does the administration of rent control regulations,

Since almost everyone at some time faces a problem in attempt- ing to compromise or make an adjustment in such matters, the Board's services can be invaluable to all residents of the province.

@ A landlord and tenant may re- quire the services of an under- standing but impartial arbiter to prevent what may often be- gin as a minor point of differ- ence from growing to serious proportions;

@ A wage-earner may unavoid- ably reach a stage where help is needed to enable him to meet his debts and regain his financial bearings;

@ A farmer may find crop failure or other financial reverses en- dangering his lease, or c.us- ing concern over the risk of mortgage foreclosure;

@ An urban or rural owner may fear the possibility of land being sold for taxes he has been unable to prevent falling into arrears,

These are some of the types of problems for which the Mediation Board tries to help find solutions, with the air of legislation and regulations designed to make com- promise possible, In some cases, of course, the disputing parties cannot reach common ground even through mbdiation efforts, but over the years many friendly set- tlements have been arranged in “round the table” discussions of points in dispute,

Services informal

Because the Board's services are provided in an informal man- ner, settlements can often be reached more amicably than when there is recourse to formal court action, and there will be less like- lihood of~the dispute flaring up again, once it has been “talked out” as calmly as possible by the parties concerned. In addition, there is the fact that all informa- tion received by the Board in its activities as mediator is held in strict confidence, preventing the matters in dispute from receiving unnecessary and often embarrass- ing public attention.

Although some of the debt ad- justment aspects of the Mediation Board's services have been avail- able to provincial residents since the formation of the first Debt Adjustment Board in_ 1929, their scope has been periodically broad- ened over the years, before and since these responsibilities were assigned to the Mediation Board on its establishment in 1943.

Among the more recent duties of the Board, made necessary in 1950 because of the postwar hous- ing shortage, has been the respon- sibility for provincial rent control legislation, since the time the rent control field was vacated by the federal Wartime Prices and Trade Board. For some years, the job of checking rented premises, in- specting premises, holding hear- ings and establishing rentals was a major activity for the Mediation Board, since at first rent control was effective for all property which had been rented as housing accommodation at March 31, 1950. Less rental work

However, in the last two or three years the housing situation has eased considerably, resulting in a’ corresponding easing of rental controls, and a subsequent decline in the volume of rental work, On the other hand, there has been a marked increase in re- quests by debtors and creditors for mediation services.

In many instances, requests for negotiation services are referred by the Board to the local sheriffs in the various judicial districts of the province, since the sheriffs serve as the Board's local repre- sentatives, After interviewing both parties concerned, either separate- ly or together, the sheriff sends his report and recommendation to the Board in Regina.

Following receipt of the report, a meeting of the Mediation Board chairman, legal counsel and secre- tary is held, and an order or pro- posal for settlement is made, de-

pending on which is required. If either of the disputing parties is not satisfied they may request a Board hearing, which will auto- matically be held in the judicial district where the disput has arisen.

In all districts other than Re- gina (the Board's own head office location), the local sheriff sits with the Board chairman, and the Board's legal counsel and secre- tary also attend if possible. The established policy of the Media- tion Board ‘allows for effective representation by the parties con- cerned, with or without legal coun- sel, both before and after an order or proposal for settlement is made. 4 Litigants notified

To ensure that the Mediation Board's services are made known to debtors and creditors, the Board is notified by court officials of all writs issued in excess of $100.00 other than those relating to dam- ages or marital claims, and in turn notifies the litigants of the facilities available.

During 1956 the Board received 4,348 such notices, and in 1957 the total reached 4,533. As a re- sult of these it received direct ap- plications for mediation of mort- gage, agreements for sale, small debts and other claims -fotalling 1,844 in-1956 and 1,471 in 1957. These figures compare with only 1,925 notices of writs and 265 mediation applications in 1952.

Some of the factors which may account for increasing use of me- diation services are believed to in- clude agricultural marketing prob- lems with the related_ cost-price squeeze between farm production costs and reduced or delayed re- turns; general inflation and in- creased credit buying; and a greater awareness of the media- tion services available,

Laws outlined

As indicated earlier, these ser- vices may be extended to meet a wide range of problems, but they have as common ground the or- derly settlement of disputes and obligations. This is probably best shown by the following highlights of legislation under which the Mediation Board operates:

# Under The Provincial Mediation

Board Act, the Board is em- powered to confer with and advise a debtor or his creditors and en- deavour to bring about an amic- able arrangement for payment of indebtedness without recourse to legal proceedings. Any such agree- ment may alter, modify or rescind any mortgage, contract or agree- ment previously existing between the parties concerned.

Before any action can be taken to acquire title to land by tax sale, the municipal body concern- ed must contact the Board and file an application for consent to obtain title. Under certain circum- stances, the Board may withhold consent where redemption or rem- edy for default is feasible, During the past year 940 such applica- tions were considered and dispos- ed of as follows: allowed to pro-

ceed, 483; settled, withdrawn, or extension negotiated, 293; and pending at December 31, 1957,

174, and of these 135 were receiv- ed after November 1, 1957. Under certain circumstances, the Board can for a stated period of time prevent eviction, where “serious hardship” exists, either by filing a prohibition order with the courts or the sheriff. In farm

cases, this relief applies te the!

# Under The Leasehold Regula- tions Act, a Board order or a

landlord-tenant agreement estab-

rented as housing accommoda- tion as at March 31, 1950, subject to some exemptions. An appeal arrangement provides for the Board to adjudicate in cases where there is misrepresentation or a dispute.

Although it is no longer neces- sary for a landlord to apply to the Board for possession, when a demand for possession is served on a tenant, there is an oppor- tunity for a tenant to seek a pro- hibition order in cases of hard- ship. The Board tries to arrange a mutually satisfactory possession | date but, if this fails, it may issue a prohibition order.

# Under The Land Contracts

(Actions) Act, thirty days’ no- tice of intention must be given to the Mediation Board before pro-| ceedings may be taken to seek cancellation of an agreement for sale or foreclosure of a mortgage. | Contacting the parties concerned, the Board attempts to arrange

settlement, generally through an extnesion of time or a revision of terms.

@ Under The Farm Security Act, there are provisions for post- ponement of crop payments under farm purchases, mortgages or leases, in the event of a crop fail- ure, with protection of the home quarter in the event of a mortgage foreclosure, # Under The Temporary Powers Act, negotiations can be under- taken regarding the storage of grain, and provision can be made for access to affected holdings up to specified dates. # Under The Land Titles Act, a mortgage can be allowed ac- cess to affected land if it has been abandoned, and given permission to lease the property. # Finally, under The Landlord and Tenant Act, a clause in a Demand for Possession notifies the tenant that if he objects to

Life with a teacher

By EILEEN BROWN

Most of us have the impression that all school teachers do is sit behind their desks and glare at us, but this is not so. They have to cope with examinations, as- signments and most important of all with us, the pupils,

I have a few examples of pupils here. Our first case is Johnny Green. His mother wants him moved immedaitely because that little Burke boy is teaching him bad things. There is always the ‘eldest boy’; this one is 21. He has finally decided to get an edu- cation so he can sit behind a desk all day. This office work is easier than plowing a field or working on a farm. Then there is Mary. She is the prettiest girl—the China Doll type. She has black hair and black eyes; the kind that make you stare, Her parents want the teacher to help her more; her marks have just gone all to pieces. Well, the teacher has a solution. If Mary would make eyes at her books, instead of at the boys over- top of her books she would get higher marks.

Why, I wonder, do teachers get exasperated, depressed and _ ill- tempered, Well, I'll tell you. How would. you feel if you asked for a composition and you got’ one titled ‘birds’, (with a small b), The composition begns, “My cat caught a bird. Birds are feathered things " The nit goes on to say what age, size, color and so on the cat is. With all these de- tails about the cat, was the title] wrong or was the composition | wrong?

And what would it be like to teach someone who could never walk up the aisle without tripping | over somehting or dropping some- thing?

Sometimes however, teaching | can be very amusing. How would | you keep a straight face if you} asked a littel girl what she would | like to be when she grew up and | she answered, a widow? When| asked why she explained, if you're | not married people call you an old maid and if you are your husband | bosses you. What would you do if| you asked, “How many candies | would I have if I had two in one hand and two in the other’, and the answer was a mouthful? And how could you explain it as super-} stition if you asked why pupils | should not kill frogs, and you got’ the answer, because would rain} the next day |

I sincerely hope this does not discour anyone from being a school teacher, because I would like some company on my jounney into the realm of pupils! The

i In the busy industrial town of St. Hyacinthe, Que., the long, low cluster of grey brick buildings which comprise the “House of Casavant” looks like any other streamlined tribute to modern factory functionalism, But once inside, the similarity ends, for here is no assembly line production,

Casavant designers like to be in on the early planning stage of the building in which it is to be housed, Architects and engineers can then work together to assure that the organ will be ideally pet mec and located for organs are acutely sensitive to their surroundings.

Old World Traditions Prevail

no machine replaces the hand of the skilled artisan, auto- mation has made no inroads on the traditionalamanner of making organs. Old world skills, infinite patience and meticulous attention to detail combine to turn out the world-famous Casavant organ.

Emerson's observation that “If a man make better chairs or knives, crucibles or church organs than anyone else, you will find a broad, hard beaten road to his house,” truly applies to the House of Casavant for their organs have been sought by music lovers all over the world.

At the beginning of this Cen- tury, bird migration was vague as far as knowledge where birds are each season of the year. Their migration routes and such mov- ings from place to place. It was just a passing fact that birds went south in the fall and came back north in the spring.

Thanks be to men like the late Jack Miner, the Canadian Natur- alist, who was a pioneer in get- ting more definite information as to the migration of bird life.

In August, 1909, he caught and banded his first wild duck, which was a Mallard, and scratched his Post Office Box and Town of} Kingsville on an aluminum band and let it go. The duck migrated in the fall and in January, 1910, it was shot by Dr. W. E, Bray, of Anderson, South Carolina. This constitutes the first complete re- cord of when and where a bird was banded and when and where it was killed.

Between the years 1909 and 1915, there were many bird band- Ing organizations that sprung in- to existence and it soon become a) well known fact where the ducks spent the spring and summer and where they went in the fall and winter.

In 1915, Jack Miner having es- tablished the fact when and where the ducks banded at his sanctuary went, he then concentrated on} Canada Geese and in 1915 he banded his first wild geese which is a story that would fill a good sized book.

Since 1909 there has been over 50,000 ducks banded at the Jack

So important were the banding records that Jack Miner had es- tablished that in 1916-1917 when the Migratory Bird Convention Act or commonly known as The Migratory Bird Treaty was being formed between the two countries all of Jack Miner's banding re- cords were used as facts to prove the birds migrated from one coun- try to another,

So valuable was such informa- tion that on or about 1921, the United States Government creat- ed a Bird Banding department and all bands were furnished by this Government Agency, and in Can- ada, such great organizations as Ducks Unlimited have banded thousands of ducks.

CNR moves to prevent layoffs

Following a meeting of senior operating officials from all regions in Canada, the CNR has announc- ed that a supplementary winter work program will go into effect immediately in an effort to avoid any further reduction of employ- ment on its Canadian lines dur- ing the winter months.

This decision was made in re- sponse to an appeal by the Fed- eral Government directed to in- dustry generally, including all railways, to the effect that they take spécial responsibility for their own work forces during this win-

ter period when unemployment normally develops. | Under such circumstances, the|

management of the CNR deemed | it in the national interest to em- bark on working programs aimed | at keeping the regular labour | force employed on work that would not normally be undertak- en in winter months,

Therefore, certain jects normally carried out later year would commence at an early date, These include rail laying and other .track work, con-| struction of buildings to accom- modate on-line railway forces, | and the conversion of equipment to work outfit cars.

In order to maintain the present level of employment at the CNR’s

work pro-|

there will be no curtailment of the current output from these shops.

The supplementary work pro- grams now being put into effect will be in addition to the acceler- ated works programs’ on captal account which were announced by the CNR in December to provide employment for some 600 men on

projects estimated to cost $3,500,- 000.

Sports in Unity (The Herald, Unity, Sask.)

Unity, like so many other towns today, wants good hockey teams, good softball and baseball teams. How ure we going to have them? We have boys cominy up in all age groups that would make Unity stand out as a sport- ing town. There is no sense kidding ourselves, what these lads need is good ccaching.

Let's look at our younger hockey players of today. We have scads of young fellows who want to play hockey. The same holds true for baseball and other sports. All these young fellows need is someone who has the time and ability to show them the proper way the various games should be played.

There are towns today, much smaller than Unity, who employ a man full time as sports director to coach their sports minded young people. Take Eatonia for example, a town of roughly 00, has one of the better men in his class doing the job for them. True this is his first year, and maybe not too much will come of it this year. But if this practice is kept up, Eatonia will have good hockey teams, good baseball teams and Eatonia will be a name we will be hearing a lot about in the not too distant future. In that town the cost of hiring this coach is split three ways. The local service club pays one third; the Legion pays one third and the Town of Eatonia pays the other third of his wages, which we would says is a good investment on the part of Eatonia Town Council.

Unity this year has one of the best senior hockey clubs that has donned skates in Unity for many ayear. Not since such names of McDougall, Allen, Sabine, Code, the Robertson's Miller, Janowsky, Needham and many others that you well remember better than I, has Unity been so prominent in the hockey picture. Last Saturday saw the largest crowd that has witnessed a hackey game in Unity for years. Why? Because Unity has some sort of senior hockey team this year. There is no reason why these crowds still couldn’t improve if the boy nly had someone to show them the finer points of the game. We would venture to say that one third of a coaches salary could be met from the extra revenue received from the senior hockey games played here.

A local man, Clarence Morris is doing a marvellous job at present in keeping hockey ‘alive’ in Unity. If it had not been for Clarence Unity would very likely have had no hockey at all this year. But, he is the manager and doesn't profess to be a coach. Some of the senior players of today might not be here tomorrow. What we need is someone to help the young fellows coming up. There are others in town who are giving freely of their time and knowledge to coach the junior groups. A couple we think of off-hand are Walter Code and Jerry Green who are looking after the bantams. These two men know very well that the material is here and all that is needed is some- one to lay down the laws of the various games.

We can talk all we want about advertising our town We contend that in having a good hockey or baseball town is good advertising. Imagine, hearing that some local youth of today scored the winning goal in a National Hockey League game of tomorrow. Wouldn't that be good advertising? Yes. Before we start looking for greener pastures, let’s look after what we have today, but don't know what to do with... our young people!

xk k *® A home for our old folks

(The Clarion, Kindersley, Sask.)

We tried, recently, to describe briefly the beautiful home for the aged, called ‘Sunset Lodge,” which has been in operation at Kindersley for over a year and a half. We attempted to point out the benefits derived from the home by the senior citizens who reside therein, together with the fact that the care of those who have grown old is a duty which should be gladly undertaken by every good citizen,

Advances in medical science and better living condi- tions have lengthened the average life span of people of most civilized countries and further progress in this regard may be expected

Modern family life, unfortunately, does not readily adjust to the care of the aged in the homes of their children. Small, modern houses, busy social schedules

and employment of both parents of younger children out- side the family home leaves no place for grandparents in today’s household.

The sons or daughters of the aged should not he blamed becau they cannot care for their parents at home—the day of the large, multi-roomed house in past; there simply isn't a convenient corner by the fireplace for Granny or Grampa any more.

Sunset Lodge is indubitably a credit to the town of Kindersley and to those municipalities which assisted in its erection. The lack of a home for the aged is a reproach to the citizens of any community.

We believe that a home for the aged in every town and village in Saskatchewan should be the ultimate aim. It is not by any means certain that a home could be

Despite the opposition, the num- |

Dental decay has been reduced up to 70 percent in children in fluoridated areas, and these same children at the age of 45 may expect to have three to four times as many of

their own teeth as their less for- tunate neighbors. Moreover, den- tal bills are also decreasing in these areas, since for every $1.00 spent on fluoridating the com- munal water supply, $70.00 are saved on dental bills! BATHYSPHERE

along with bosun’s whistles.

The largest of the brown bears | stand nine feet tall and weigh up | to 1,500 pounds—twice the weight of a grizzly. All species carry a formidable armament of claws and | teeth. But usually there is little danger, because the awesome creatures are afraid of man, the National Geographic Society says. |

Troubie starts when those two Dead dangerous mammals man and bear—come upon each other by surprise.

Keen of nose and ear, the bears have poor eyesight. Walking quietly upwind, a person can hap- pen on one unexpectedly. So the! safe thing to do is to give the | bruins plenty of warning. |

Naturalists who must’ work closely with the bears without dis- turbing them need eyes in the} back of their heads. Cecil E. Rhode wrote in the National Geographic Magazine after a bear-photo- graphing expedition. “We had to be always on watch aganst their stumbling upon us downwind. My neck muscles actually became sore from constant turning on look- out.”

Much of the brown bears’ home territory is wild, and there is lit- tle chance for contact with human beings, But there are instances of persons being clawed to death, es- pecially those who meet a family group. A mother bear defending her cubs is a dangerous adver- sary.

The brown bears’ range is re- stricted to a crescent of seacoast extending north and west along the Alaska “panhandle” to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and a few offshore islands. One such is- land, Kodiak, has given the larg-

After a six-month winter sleep, the bears emerge in spring to graze the meadows like cattle, eating grass and foliage. Roots, insects, and mice also disappear into the cavernous mouths, Al- though a full-grown brown bear is easily able to carry the carcass of a moose, it rarely kills large game, Mice and ground squirrels make up most of its meat ration.

LET'S TALK SENSE by

CHARLES E. JOHNSTON Social Credit Candidate for re-election in Bow River

Whether you live in the city, in the towns, or on the farms, the economic condition of ag- riculture is reflected upon you since it is our basic industry so let’s look at the facts.

During the last session of Parliament the Conservative Government introduced a res- olution preceding Bill 237 “An Act to Provide for Stabilization of Agricultural Commodities”. Although the strongest of pro- tests were made during the debate by opposition members and also by farm organizations the Minister of Agriculture stubbornly refused to make any changes and the Bill itself was introduced. The Bill was even worse than was expected. No provision was made to base the price of agricultural pro- ducts on a parity basis nor was there any provision to see that the farmers would receive what was promised during the last election campaign by the Conservatives when they said that the farmers should receive their fair share of the national income.

I spoke very strongly against this Bill, as did most members of the Social Credit party. Farm organizations continued to send delegations to see the Minister; letters and telegrams from all across Canada began to pour in until the Minister of Agriculture realized that thin- gs were getting too hot. He then decided to bring in a number of amendments But even with these amendmenis, the Bill still does not meet the

request of farmers or farm organizations,

We Social Crediters, as well as farm organizations, insisted that a definite price formula should be written in the Bill, one that would guarantee a cost of production plus a fair profit. This is referred to in the preamble of the Bill, but the preamble does not form any part of the Bill, so it be- comes useless.

Then under Section 2, the Bill states that in prescribing a percentage of the base price of an agricultural commodity, the Governor in Council shall be guided by the estimated average cost of the production of the commodity. Here again no formula is written into the Bill and so when setting the price, the Minister himself makes the decision. This cert- ainly is not what the farmers are asking for. They want, and we Social Crediters insist, that the price be established by the Act and not left to the whim of the Minister. It is possible under this Bill that politics could play a great part in set- tling the price by any govern- ment in power, particularly just before an election, and then the next year it cou’d be lowered again. This is certain- ly not satisfactory.

The Minister of Agriculture stated in three different places in his speech on the Resolut- ion that the setting of the base price would take into account “the supply and demand”, that the price would be such as to “reflect market changes’. He said “I have endeavored in this legislation to provide for the greatest possible degree of flexibility so we will not be saddled with a program which inevitably acts as an incentive to produce burdensome and unsaleable surpluses’. If this means anything at all it means the Minister will set the price so as to control production. How ridiculous—when many under-developed countries in the world need food. Your Social Crediters are opposed to this.

Wheat produced in Western Canada does not come under this Bill, yet wheat produced in Eastern Canada does, All that was needed to bring west- ern wheat under this Bill was

a very short amendment to the Yheat Board Act stating that the initial payment would be equal to the base price as stat- ed under the Bill. It would in no way interfere with the op- erations of the Wheat Board. It, would mean though that in- stead of the farmers getting an initial payment of $1.40 as is now the case, they would get approximately $1.78. The old Price Support Bill included oats and barley. This new Bill does not,

Is it because I dared to get up in the House of Commons to criticize Conservative policy in this Bill, and dared to raise my voice to try to protcet the farmers of Bow River, that I am being attacked so viciously by the Conservative candidate, the Minister of Transport, and the Minister of Agriculture? If I am as ineffective in Parlia- ment as they say I am, why all this concerted personal attack? It’s a good thing for the farm- ers that there were enough Social Crediters to force some improvement in the Bill, and it still isn’t what the farmers deserve.

A Conservative vote is a vote of approval of. this anti-west- ern Agricultural Bill.

Ohlhauser who passed away

“March brings back sad memories,

Of a dear one gone to rest,

And the ones who think of him today

Are the ones who loyed him best;

It’s not the tear at the moment shed,

That tells how the heart is torn

It’s the grief that lasts throughout the years,

And is in silence borne.” Sadly missed by Earl, Edith

and Grandson Allen.
