ONTARIn ~5?~m5% A 1~ A ~ àAL E AL1U5IOL1Z~X, ZLrr*~LAJ ~II, AU~ EDJI OR>ILS The Senate Has One of Bowmanville's finest clubs do.. flot appear in the news too often but it do.. attract a fairly large and enthus- iastic membership. We refer to The Senate forxnerly called Wood's Senate because its early operation took place in Lou Wood's impiement shop on the main Street. It is a club where those who have reached the more or less casual stage of life meet to discuss the problems of the day while playing games of euchre, crib- bage or checkers. We pay tribute to this ail-maie organization because they have recently moved into their third home since the club's inauguration. In their new quarters at the rear of the Fire Hall, there is larger area, more conveniences and only a few steps to elimb, the latter factor being of great importance to some of the more elderly members. The work of renovating what used to be quarters for the f ire barses and latteriy motorized vehicles, was under- taken with great entbusiasm and consid- erabie skiii by the members themselves, except for the intricacies of plumbing, Mrs. Bertha Whyte, foster mother to 100 cbiidren in Bowmanviile is being a littie premature; bardiy is a bill introduced into the Provincial Legisiature affecting foster homes for cbiidren wben Mrs. Wbyte is talking of fleeing the country with ber brood. Nobody likes Government inspect- ors (we have a sneaklng suspicion they don't even like tbemselves) but that is not to say tbey aren't necessary sometimes to miake sure nobody is being abused. Mrs. Wbyte will bave nothing to fear if ber farmbouse -home is in a reasonable sanitary and safe condition for human habitation. If it wasn't we think Mrs. Whyte wouhd admit tbat children wouid be better somewbere else. She can expect How to Ruin At this season of the year, there are niany who are getting tbe feeling of spring in their bones. This can result in many tbings, some of them good, some of them bad. Witb a young man, it is supposed ta be the time wben bis thougbts turn ta love. With the older. souls it appears ta be the time for getting on the land ta start tbe 39pring work. This, not oniy apphies ta those in rural areas, it seems ta be a chronic disease afflicting townspeople as well. While we bave no complaint with those avid gardeners and home owners wbo keep aur community looking ike a nursery througbout the grawing season, a couple of warnlngs would be in order as this season approaches. First for those wbo bave not been too active during the winter and those wbo have been forced into cheanup jobs, maybe by their wives, don't overdo the physical exercise or you mnay bave to be swept up off the ground along with the leaves. Secondiy, be par- This country bas been fortunate in somne respects because it hasn't exper- ienced quite tbe bitterness that others have .ever tbe tobacco marketing situation. Iu some parts of the province charges and counter charges bave been burled back and forth until tempers have become quite frayed. For those not acquainted with the situation, it sbouid be expiained that there was ta bave been a vote on Monday, April lut, ta decide if fiue-cured tobacco grow- ers would market tbeir crops under the Flue-Cured Marketing Board or under a new proposai involving the Provincial Farm Marketing Act. The situation bhad become so confused Finally an American motor manu- facturer bas been quoted as saying that he is convinced that the day of ever-bigger, ever-more-powerful cars is near its end. Mr. George Romney, President of Amer- ican Motors said recently that the day of the big car is over because "revolutionary changes in car concepts" are coming. Mr. Romney was not quoted as enlarg- ing upon those "revolutionary changes" but what could they be other than reduc- tions in size and power? If he did mean such reductions there is nothing revalu- tionary about the idea. Wbat is revolu- tionary is the f act that be thinks there is.

Tbis past week aur f ire fighters have been called ta several grass f ires which have raged out of contrai. Fortunateiy, they arrived in time ta be of assistance so there wasn't much damage. But, putting out grass 'flires deliberatehy started by citizens on windy days or without suf- ficient supervisory assistance is risking the life and limb of aur volunteers un- necessarily. Please take every precaution ta pre- vent disastrous fires during this annual cieanup period. It would be a shame ta bave your home or your farm buildings burned ta the ground because you hadn't taken every precaution in keeping with ordinary common sense. But, don't hesi- tate ta caîl the brigade if your f ire does become mare than you can handie. They are only too happy ta belp, but would appreciate your cooperation. Most of them bave their own places ta dlean up tua. j and sa bitter that Ontario's Agricultural Minister W. A. Goodfeliaw announced that the vote would be postponed indefinitely. This action was taken ta clear up the argu- ments which had been presented on bath sides and overcome the confusion wbich existed concerning the situation. We believe he was wise in making this move at this time and, it would appear, the mai ority of tabacco grawers in this area agree with bis decisian. The cooling off period sbould be useful in examing the entire picture again s0 that before next year this industry will be more fuhly acquainted with the pros and cons of the argument. On tbe other band Mr. Romney may bave been referring ta the turbine-engined car, the first of wbich appeared in Britain a few years aga and many prototypes of wbich are now being tested. Or be may bave been thinklng of the car with wbich Mr. Harry Ferguson bas been threatening ta scupper the existing internal combustion engine. Or possibly Mr. Romney bas been standing on corners gazing abstractediy at six-passenger bebemoths going by two- thirds empty. But, anyway we cen perhaps take bis utterance as on amen. After ail, every- body bas been seying for yeers thet the motor manufeacturers on this continent just aren't interested in reehities; wbat they want is Soiomonic magnificence-because thet is what the public wents (they say>. The public, as usuel, will take what it gets and when the "trend" Is ta "Dynamic Compression" or whetever they choose ta cahi it, that wiii be the thing--everybody wiil "Get Smart-Go Small." Then al aur troubles will be aver. Or will they?- Kingston Whig-Standard. Observations and Opinions The reasan a dog is such a lavable creature is that his tail wags instead of bis tangue. A. U.S. Air Farce Sergeant for eigbt years suffered from dry and cracked fingertips. Finahhy, a speciahist was called in and diagnosed the case. The Sgt. was allergie to siver mnoney and, benceforth, must quit jingling coins in bis packet and handhe them onhy when necessary. The Cape Breton Post suggests that it isn't the first time someone has been paisoned by nloney. 8cI The Don Valley Conservation Association is the biggest and most acti-je in Ontario, if flot in Canada. Their aimn is to resisi undue encroachment of industry, apartment bouses, etc., in the Don Valley, ta preserve, for urbanites, a place where they can commune with Nature, with. out baving to drive many miles, They have successfully thwarted Many attempts to replace the Valley's Sylvan beauty with man-made structures. This good wark bas been accomplished by a graup of determined, conserva- tion-conscious citizens under the Suidance of their dynamnic presi- ent, Charles Saunaio. On March 25th, Butch and I attended a banquet in the Coach bouse, at Fantasy Farm, Toron- to, which was a testimonial to Charie Sauriol, for bis splendid contribution ta conservation ta date, and in recognition of bis recent appointment as chairman of a fiteen-man advisory com- mittee af the newly formed Metropolitan C o nse r vat io n Authority, whose jurisdiction embraces more than 9,000 square mniles. Believe me, the Authority wil flot be dormant as long as Charlie is buzzing around. ýThat guy can stir up more enthusiastie conservation activity than any 10 ordinary people. He is the right man in the right place. Yau've seen cows standing placidly in a pasture. then sud- denly, fling their tails in tbe air, and go galloping and bawling acrass the field wben stung by a heel fly. Well, that's what's gaing to happen ta that advisory cammittee when the human heel fly, Charlie, stings 'em.

James M. O)ne of the behind-the-scenes members of the House of Commons staff received special recognition in the, Com- rnons on Saturday - and weil he sho uld have. Thomas S. Hubbard, retiring 65-year-old editor of Hansard, the day- by-day record of the Commons, has improved many a member's speech over his 38 years of parliamentary service. He joined the reporting staff in 1919, served through 38 years of parliamentary service. Hie joined the reporting staff in 1919, served through 10 parliaments and the regimes of five prime ministers. In 1952, he reached the pinnacie of his profession as editor of debates. Ail parties paid tribute to him for bis quiet, unassuming efforts and bis skiil. As the Prime Minister said "W? are ail inclined to agree that his editing has made some of our remarks read somewhat better than a phonographie record would have." The Hansard editor is not permitted to change the mean- ing of any spoken speech but he does correct poor English, sentence construction and other imperfections. CCF MEMBER SURROUNDED BY PHARISEES During the samne week the editor was Iauded, Bert Herridge, CCF member from B.C. made an amusing cor. rection in the Hansard record. One of the shorthand reporters had misinterpreted him as saying he was sur- rounded by "Pharisee" members. Mr. Herridge announced that it should have been "far-seeing" instead of "Pharisee". FOWLER REPORT ON CBC The biggest news of the week was the presenta4ion of a harger than 500 page repart on television and radio broacasting which wlll be caiied the Fowier reportý in bonour of Commission Chairman Robert Fowher. In hhe main it upheid the poiicy now in effect which was based on findings of the Massey report some years ago. Members were especiaiiy gratified ta read that there were NO<0 recommendations in line with current rumors concernine a $20 license fee on television sets. Main recommer-lations included a change in the regulatory body with CBt teair. man eventuaiiy being removed from any contl vver general broadcast policy. The forecast of expenditures indicated that a buge amount of funds wiil be required in future ta extend and maintain CBC service. No legisiatiori will be included in this session to implement any of the recommendations. PRIME MINISTER RAPPED ON KNUCKLES FOR LETTERS On Friday, a miniature storm, blew up in the Com. nions on a Supply Motion, the accustomed time for presen. tation of grievances. The Prime Minister, in reply to a equestion on Thursday admitted that ho had written a coin ,plaint to the CBC chairnian over a broadcast by a Uni- versity professor. lUs main complaint was that the pro. fessor has been presented as a Canadien without explain. ing that he had recently arrived from England and that his tone had been talking down to the Canadian public as a timid people afraid of becoming involved lu international affairs. Opposition parties screamed that these letters were an attempt by the goverument to direct a propaganda agency which must b. kept free of political interference. The steam went out of the argument to some extent when Conservative spokesman, Donald Fleming, admitted that he too had written the CBC on many occasions about somo program or other-. However, the entire affair was embar. rasslng for the Prime Minister who admitted that had ho had any idea a couple of letters from hlm would create such a furore, they would iaever have been written. STATISTICS BACK UP PARENTAL ADVICE Those parents who over the years bave urged their yaungsters ta stick ta their studies and obtain more educa- tion received sanie support from Unempioy-ment Insurance statistlcs this week. Tbe Commission announced that of 246,189 job seekers on November 24 (72,548 being women) 70 per cent bad Grade 8 education or iess. For the whole labour force only 55 out of 100 bad Grade 8 or less. The moral is, of course, that the mare education you bave the less likely you are ta be out of a job. SPEED UP PROGRAM AS SESSION NEARS CONCLUSION Although the session has been one of the dullest pre. election efforts on record, it gradually is drawing to a close, Latest evidence of this fact was an extension of the hours of sitting with further extensions to come. Froni now on the House will sit every mnorning including Saturday and every night as well. Usually, Wednesdays and Fridays are free nights, but the governnient is attempting to conclude its legislation by April 10 or 12 which would indicate that June lOth bas been seiected as election day. MARKETING AMENDMENTS WILL BE PRESENTED THIS SESSION Supporters of the several farm marketing boards in Ontario wîhl be gratified ta learn that the Prime Min- ister announced that the re quired amendments wili be intraduced at this session. Tb ese amendments became necessary when the Supreme Court ruled that some ",'iN procedures of the provincial marketing agencies werch&1trî1 vires of provincial authority. CONSERVATIVES VOTE AGAINST $75 A MO0NTU On the first budget debate vote, the Commons deait with a sub-amendxnent from the CCF advocating an old age pension of about $75 a month. It was defeated 145 to 29,with the Conservatives voting wlth the govcrnment and the Social Crediters and CCFrs vating together lu support of the amenduient. Other vote» will be held tia week. ln Search of Democracy Looks like you'I1 be able to bring the set back to the living-room - 'The Fowler Report' says they shouldn't be Iicensed."
