EXPLAIN PROCESSES Mr. Simpkin lained. some of the processes involved in manufac- turing their product, and mention- ed some interesting facts about it. Flywosds are used extensively. Birch, Basswood and Poplar are used for backs, and several varie- ties of mahogany, walnut, and oak are used for the panelling. The clocks must match furniture, he said, and finishing them is one of the most important jobs in their manufacture.

The local concern has one spe- cial type of satin lacquer which, it is believed, no one else in Canada has, Mr. Simpkin said. No nails are used in a finished product. he said. Moisture content in all wood used must be from 6 to 8 per cent, he said, to adapt it to the Cana- dian climate without shrinking. Eu- ropean wood products are made with wood that has any moisture content of from 10 to 12 per cent. For this reason, some ported furniture does mot stand up to the Canadian climate.

AIDEN RY ANMXILIARY'S BAZAAR A THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Saturday, June 13, 1054 7 REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT Expect House Session By MICHAEL STARR, Ontario Riding In the past two weeks a great many Government Bills have been disposed of and much JRoptess has been made in the: House. However, the main estimates are still to be considered although with the Bouse sitting eight hours a day it is pos- sible that the business of this ses- ion may well be disposed of some- where about June 19, unless some unforeseen and contentions prob- lem is brought before the House which will Jrolog the debate for a number of days. There is still to be considered a report of the com- mittee on rules and regulations of the House and there may be some- thing in their recommendations that will be contentious -and pro- voke a long discussion. Unemployment in Canada con- tinues and we have fead in the past week of lay-offs, particular in the autmobile industry, affeet- ing thousands of Canadian workers. Although the tone of optimism still prevails, nevertheless it is a ser- ious problem, particularly for those who are affected by these lay-offs. The fact must be faced that the sales of new cars and trucks for the first three months of this year have dropped by 17 per cent as compared with the first three months of last year. The so-called seasonal unemployment has pro- longed itself to a point where it has now become of a more or less permanent nature. Some remedy must be found quickly to help. those who are unemployed. VETERANS AFFAIRS A very lively debate took place in the House of Commons last week when the Minister of Veterans' Af- fairs introduced an amendment to the Veterans' Affairs Bill, whereby the Pension Commissioriers would % be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council and their appoint- ment and salaries would be fixed by Order in Council.

CHAPMAN PICKERING -- Pickering Unit- ed Church was on Thursday after- noon _ filled overflowing by friends and neighbours who came to pay their last respects to the late Frank M. Chapman. The mass of beautiful floral tributes that banked the casket and front of the rostrum were an eloquent testi- mony of the affection and re- spect the deceased had so nobly earned. In the hushed silence of that soleumn hour Rev. A. Young in- toned the words, "The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God,"" words so full of truth, and so eloquent in their simplicity. Mr. Young in his brief elogy of the deceased, spoke of the burial of an infant that died an hour before birth. He had read from the 18th chapter of St. Matthew these words, 'Take heed that you des- pise not one of these little ones," God has such mighty promises for those who have scarcely come to life, what must we say of a life of eighty years so full of friendship (he and genuine achievement. Folks from near and far, home and church, join in paying tribute to a great fellow worker with prive in our, hearts. We never saw him without mirth on his lips. His wis- dom, integrity and real zest was such a great thing. He had been tried and tested many times and was now called home, with a glad welcome, Well done good and faith- ful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord. Mr. Young said, "I will not at- tempt to talk of Mr. Chapman to you who have known him so much longer. -I have been fortunate to have known him, and Secoguize a life of amazing subfle accom- plishment, not to be explained in simple terms, I think the decision made by Mr. Chapman when a young man, when he made his choice of Christ as Lecrd and Mas- ter, could be the best explanation. He a true servant of the Lord Christ in duty and deeds, skilful in well doing, In his wide experi- ence of the world he never yielded to cheap cynicism and kept to the end his zest and amazing friend- liness. "In the words of St. Paul, he could well say, 'I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith; hence forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that His love appear in." Rev. A. H. McLachlan of Ajax United Church, and Rev. Hugh Will Don Kilts When Canso Causeway Opens OTTAWA (CP)--A cabinet min- ister of French extraction sai dFri- day he will be happy to don Kilts with Scottish clansmen and lead a parade of 100 pipers acrose the Canso causeway when it opens early in 1955. . Transport Minister Chevrier as- sured the Commons that he will be perfectly at home in kilts because he has worn them on many occa- sions as honorary colonel of the ister of French extraction said Fri- Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders in his home town of Cornwall; Mr. Chevrier was commenting on a request by George Nowlan (PC -- Digby-Annapolis-Kings) for him to clear up reports that he and Clarie Gillis (CCF--Cape Bre- ton South) would lead the proces- sion at the opening of the cause- way. Mr. Gillis is a member of the MacPherson clan. The causeway will span the Strait of Canso between the Nova Scotia mainland and Cape Breton island. Mr. Nowlan said if Mr. Chev- rier agrees to lead the procession the "spectacle would be the great- est tourist attraction that has ever en known in the province of Nova Scotia." Mr. Chevrier said if he receives an invitation he will be happy to join Mr. Gillis and others in the procession. Coming as he did from the Stormont and Glengarry con- stituency in Ontario he could march to the tune of the bagpipes as smartly as anyone else. ice. The organist was William C. Murkar. Interment was in the beautiful little cemetery at the rear of the Masonic Hall, formerly the Friends' Church. Here the remains were laid to rest in the shade of a stately elm tree, surrounded by the graves of former friends and acquaintainces who had passed during the long life now closed. The mourners thronged the ceme- itery as the last words of the com? mital service were said by Mr. Young. Mr. Chapman was active up to last fall, until he was stricken with a heart ailment. At this time he was actively campaigning for the Ajax and Pickering Hospital fund. He spent most of the winter in Florida, recuperating. The hospital was formally opened while he was away. He did not forget the day however, he sent a telegram to the hospital chairman which con- tained five words. *"Sound aloud the timbrels today." Surely the trimbrels sounded for the passing of such a faithful soul. Pallbearers were Richard Win- ter, Percy Neale, Fred Stork, John Lay, William Westney -and Wil- liam 'C.

This Committee's work started on the first Monday after the Eas- ter' recess, and for about three weeks the Western Members occu- Zed the time with their grievances ey saggested some cure-all for their troubles in. respect to over- ages, dockages, grading, weighing, shipping, box-car allocation, mar- kets, and a hundred and one other difficulties they claim tq be exper. iencing at the present time. As we eastern meémbers listemed we gan to wonder if there was such a thing as a branch of agriculture known as the da industry. The last day that the committee sat was more interesting to, the members from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces. On that day, an expert on soybeans ave a very educational lecture on the possibilities of growing this crop and the marketing conditions that we may expect in relation to exports to European countres. The climate in Ontario is quite satis. factory for growing this crop, and as Canada is at present growing only 50 per cent of the beans that are manufactured into different oils at the present time; along with the export market that we might enjoy, it may be that soybeans in the future will develop into a very * important cash crop for the farm- ers of Ontario. DAIRY SITUATION J. J. Creighton, President of the National Dairy Council of Canada, in a letter to Rt. Hon. Mr. St. Lau- rent, said that butter production this year is expected to be.greater than the three hundred and two million pounds produced last year. On May 1, Canada had a stock pile. of 42.4 million pounds, which is considered to be thirty million to thirty-five million pounds more than is necessary, and it is estim- ated that production of milk will be much in excess of production last year. Cheese prices have slumped somewhat: since the proe duction started, and as yet the oute look for export to the United King. dom is rather hazy. The cheese producers at the pres- ent time are wondering what the possibilities will be for this year. What the agricltural industry needs now, and will need in the future, is a more realistic and long-term market with Great Britain for many of our agricultural products, especially dairy products, in order that our farmers may be able to plan their activities and the man- agement of their farms further ahead, and thereby be able, finan. cially, to enjoy more of the fruity unless something unforeseen devel- of their labour. COUNTRY CROPPINGS By LAURAL HAMER The country is marvelous these days os fresh and green, with all the good quiet calm things of life right at our fingertips, with lots of work and warmth and sunshine and good living. Last Sunday one small boy and I took a stroll b; the stream and we took turns wit his fishing line. We are not very good fishermen. I came back to the house convinced that if there ever had been any fish in that stream, there was not even a min- now now, After supper Joey thought he would go fishing, and in half an hour he was back with enough trout for Mondays supper. Jock was not to be outdone in this bringing home the bacon act. He went hunting along the fences and brought home about three pounds of asparagus. I contributed a batch of homemade bread and we in- dulged in a meal that is a great deal of fun to eat, The family will likely regret that I let you folks know that there is trout in' our stream. But I will also tell you that we bought this farm influenced greatly by the fact that it had, a spring fed stream, and that it has taken eight years to get it to the place where we can have one meal a monh from it and we are not sharing it yet. My husband told me that I was in a rut, writing a whol® 'Crop- pings" about an orice. "Well, I could have started a war, you know." I thought it best to stick to orioles. But this week I fin myself reading again in the Osh- awa paper and also in the Rural Co-operator that some stuff that the Times-Gazette has printed half a dozen times before, and it drives orioles and trout streams out of my mind. Why is this one many trying so desperatly hard to make, the people of this county lose faith in dem- ocratic government? Is he try- ing to make the government hate the farmer or the farmer hate the government, or both and why? We have never had reason to dis- trust the men who make up our legislative body. Time and again they have proved that they work for the good of Canada as a whole. But here is a one man project, breeding distrust and antagonism that could wipe out the co-opera- Some Pertinent Remarks On Faith In Government tion and good will that our present government body shows towards agriculture. Our government has not in the past over dictated any policy which was detrimental to the great industry of dairying. Not, unless the calibre of the people's represen- tatives greatly deteriorates, will it. This is Canada, built on faith in man and a square deal for all, not on suspicion and distrust. Is the idea here that it would be bet. ter for our country to have an ers ratic ,few controlling the govern. ment than to havé the government in the driver's seat? Is there a complete absence of honour. You can read into this dairy act, pro- tection, if you are of such a mind or you can read into it dictator. ship, as our writer does. I"thought I had got this off my chest and could go back to my fishing. But as I left the typewriter I chanced to pick up the new issue of the Farmer's Advocate and what do I find but a continuance of the same subject. Here is where I find the word dictatorship in connection with the Dairy Act but I also read this, quote: "I am -- a charter member of the Pickering Transport Co-operatve, which has been and is being so successfuly prevented from growing through the lack of support by Federation and milk producer associations." This is a completely erroneous statement. I know nothing about the milk producer association, but I do know that the Federation of d | Agrculture of offered its support to the Pickering Transport Cooper- ative and was ignored. How can one small group of farmers ex- pect to win the support of govern. mental bodies without the assis. tance of their neighbors and con. temporaries within their own coun. ry. This whole thing is approaching the childish and I think I'll go fish- ing. While I dangle my line to lure the trout I will dream of the happy day when all the commodity groups groups and the co-opera- tives in this lovely county of ours carry a united front toward the successful, solution of all our prob- lems. That- way there will always be someone with the proper angle, the right idea to point the way to fulfilled aspirations. Oh Happy Day! DISCOUNTS! ON THE 'blue monthly terms that are DON'T DELAY NOW!
