FAGE POVt First Plantlngs In every garden there is one spot or corner which dries out before the rest. This is the place to plant the very early things- hardy vegetables and flowers that can go in the ground just as soon as one can get out and dig. Frost and snow later on will flot hurt these, and some of them must make their f irs t growth while soil and air are cool. *Among the vegetables in this catagory will be radish, leaf lettuce spinach, early onions and the hardiest of garden peas. 0f course, this refers ta fi-st plant- * ings only. Main plantings should go in later and final plantings after that. With vegetables it is important to strin'g out the plant- ings so that the harvest wiIl be equally extended. Ahl the vege- tables mentioned can be planted at Ieast three times, a fortnight apart, and some like lettuce and radisfh, carrots, beets, beans, etc., can be planted at intervals right up to July. Among the hardy flowers will be things like cosmbos, marigolds, pansies, sweet peas and anything else listed as very hardy in Cana- dian seed catalogues. Some of these are so resistant ta frost that they sow thernselves and came on as volunteer plants in the Spring. For Baquets A corner of. thç vegetable gar- den or some place at the back of the lawn is often set aside ta grow f lowers- especially for in- door baquets. When a large supply of blooms is wanted fi-e- quent cuttingi- leaves the regula'r borders a bit shy. Any of these flowers suitable for cutting pur- poses will thi-ive on the same sort of cultivation that the vege- tables get. Certain fiowers, in-1 deed, like gladioli, sweet peas and others of which the foliage is flot very attractive are best grown with the vegetables.

There are all sorts of plant- ing material available for this purpose and found listed in any good catalogue. The perennial types are wel' known,. Many people do nlot realize that one can get quit& good and quick re- sults from annuals toa. Dahlias, ornamental sun flowers, cosmos, spider plants are only some of many things that will reach three or four feet in height in a few xveek;. And there are quick- growing vines, too, like scarlet runner beans, sweet peas, hops and morning glories. NEXT WEEK - Grow themn fast, transplanting, cultivation. The Doctors Disagree (by Joseph Lister _Rutledge) IL is perhaps, a human limita- tion to see what we want to see. Or is it that the observer not di- rectly involved seeS less clearly than the one whose life depends on the recognition of the truth? Hon. M. J. Coldxtell, speaking on the CBC program, "The Na- tion's Business," said: 'Britain's workers,,contrary ta some stories told by opponents of her present government, .aie working harder than ever."' Sir Stafford Cripps, a 'respon- sible minister of that government speaking in London at about the same time, said: "There is cvi- dence for believing that, after the remai-kable industrial recovery achieved in this country in the past two years, there is an appar- ent flattening of the curve, sug- gesting a slower rise in product- ivity per head of population than we are entitled to expect fromn the growth of mechanization.*" One wonders who is most likely to be correct? Is it the ardent amateur or the expert -owhose the- ories and whose way of life are bath at stake?

The Progressive Conservatives, who have been continually ham- mering at the government for re- duced taxation, approved of the relief which the budget gave to the small business man. H-oxever, they expressed strong disappoint- ment that the Minister of Finance had not increasedi the exemptions to $ 1,250 for single persons and $2,500 for married people. These figures were adopted as part of the Progressive Con s e r v a t i v e Platform at the National Conven- tion held in Ottawa last Oct4yber. Another of the many disappoint- ing features of the budget was the small increase of $50 for de- pendent children.

For the com- ing year government expenditures will be $2,390,000,000.11 The stand of the Progressive Conservatives on rent contrai is clear. Mr. George Drew durin.g his address on the Omnibus Con- trol Bill said: "I hope that no one wilh suggest that any honourable member who opposes the contin- uance of these wartime powers is opposing i-ent contrai, or any oth- er provision ta meet the situationr which has arisen very largely as a restîlt of the acfivitics of the gavernment itself." Mr. Drew continued: "If this parliament has the power ta, deal with eny cf these measures under this omni- bus bill, it has equai powers ta deal with them iby separate sta- tutes, whîch would properly de- fine the rights of the individuals affected. We have urged over and over again that a i-ent contrai bill be introduced which will give tenants defined and assured rights and at the sanie time encourage the building of hoxising and apart- Iments for rentai purposes." The discussion otN the Omnibus ContraI Bill brings up the ques- tion of whether or flot there is any point in having a Parliament at ail.

Parliament readily assented when the Government asked for these extraordinary powers. The Second Worli War wvas over nearly four years ago, yet the Government stili takes the view that a national emergency exists. The problems confronting us to- day could hardly be classed as "life and death" ones. There is certainly time to have them dis- cussed one-by-one in Parliament,. so that the representatives of all the people may express their dif- ferent opinions on how these problems should be handlcd. The Government, however, does flot even attempt ta lay its plans before the House in any form which would give Parliament the chance to debate on them. It does not state how it intends to con- trol rents, fix prices and allocate materials for building. Instead, it asks Parliament to approve a reg- ulation wvhich continues to give them life-and-death authority. by the continuation of these wartime emergency powers. pIn arguing against thiý Bill, the Porsie Conservatives are de- fending one of the basic principles of aur democratic way of Eife.
