acts and make such orders and regulations as may by reason of international emergency be deemed necessary or advisable for the security defence peace order and welfare of Canada subject only to certain listed restrictions Such authority is only granted the Chamber could make a the executive branch of govern ment in time of war or national emergency In passing this leg islation Parliament recognizes that the government must have authority for quick action in case by Dairy Farmer Top Six Inches Mr Chatham was the guest of Mr and Mrs Flack for a few days A number of people have been suffering from the flu We hope everyone will soon recover The extremely mild weather of the last few days has loft the Marsh roads in poor condition It is to be hoped this situation will be remedied ft has been pointed out to all farmers and continuously emphasized the that the sheep population of this country a s been inclining steadily and that an a result trend prices will be very high in the next few AH ready it is almost impossible to vget the owner of a flock to price a sheep of any are told all the good and valid reasons for Ibis unsatis factory state of affairs- We are told that in some district the roaming of dogs and make sheep raising im- possible We are told lio thai for years raising of sheep was not profitable that vtry few people in this malty will eat mutton This that the final salvage value of sheep is very small and the only way that sheep can be sold for is a lamb Somehow or other our suspi cious nature isnt satisfied with those solutions First all it gileems to us that had it really mattered the dog question have been solved We re fuse to believe that the Ontario fanner is going to be licked by canine Anyway that is a difficulty which could he re duced considerably As for the blher difficulty that of price simply dont think that ever mattered very much in production After all do we worry about selling price when it comes to any thing else Have we not pro duced milk cream eggs beef mid pork and all other things without worrying turns Arent we still doing it The Ontario farmers a ways produced for the pleasure and profit of others as long as they could have the privilege of working hours day We doubt if the sheep raising would have changed our way of thinking J We believe that sheep rais- log is declining because there are very few farmem who know how and they are getting fewer and fewer year I think that are par ticularly difficult to handle and Utile emphasis is placed these days in teaching young people how to handle them As iyVie number of breeders and farmers keeping sheep declines the circle of sheep raisers gets smaller the show standards get tame and more unreasonable until it gets quite forbidding for the average farmer to gel into the business The small breeds become and the onus with wool on the head get blinder and the whole industry seems to be getting into a blind We think that the solution is as it is in so many other case an educational effort to inter est young people in sheep We have calf clubs tractor clubs and other clubs we should have a lamb club We think 1 Kit a sheep is one of the most difficult animals handle they took nice and peaceful grazing around the Little Carolyn Day had the misfortune to burn four of her fingers on Wednesday Mr Harry had a very successful auction sale on Wednesday We

strong defences which we in the long run will convince those with ideas of aggression that it will not and cannot succeed This is the basis of our hope for maintaining peace In such a program the dangers to our economy of inflation are very real Recognizing that such a condition may continue for a greater contribution to the wel fare of the Canadian people The fact that the Liberal parly has

wholly or at least partly elective and that there should be a retir ing age of The present aver age age of Senators is The suggestion has been made also long time the government is that some

dency load the Senate with tired or retired politicians reward for service Granted that some reforms are long over due these charges should not be taken too literally without con siderable thought as
