Page 6 Friday, July 29, 1960 Suggest Break To Cut Accidents On The Farm A group which has been making a farm accident survey in Haldimand County has come up with a recom- mendation that farmers should take a coffee break type of rest period twice a day. ' The suggestion has merit, in the opinion of the Woodstock Sentinal Review, in the heart of one of Can- ada's richest dairy farming areas. Not only has the coffee break become al- a tradition among those with inside jobs in Canada ----- particularly most tories but it has proved that it and offices, definitely in fac een fairly helps increase morale and productive capacity. to the Haldimand Couwsty According survey made in farmers are more than normal ten o'clock in the morning and four These times two wccident prone around c'clock in the afternoon.

This adds weight to the fact that a Farm Safety Week has been found necess since farm equip- ment has become so widely mechan- ized in recent We have no reason to believe that the figures quoted for Haldimand are unduly high or that they would not represent a typical picture of the farm accident situation right across the country.

But neither its cause nor cure is yet known. Dr. Thomson, editor of The Practitioner, said that a lot could be done to make the rheumatic patient more comfortable, explaining: *"As- pirin, probably the most widely-used drug in the world, will ease the pain rheumatism, but it doesn't cure it. Just over ten years ago cortisone was being hailed as the wonder drug, but we now know that cortisone only brings temporary relief -- it doesn't cure any more than aspirin. Physio- therapy, exercises, massage, radiant heat -- all these bring relief to the rheums patient, but none of them cure it." of The only way to ensure that search was following the right lines, Dr. Thomson said, was to have a cen- tral organizing body like the Empire Rheumatism Council, with its affili- ated councils in Australia, New Zea- Canada.

This chore adds severely to that great unnoticed bulk of an MP's work which, as in an iceberg, ex- ceeds the small fraction showing obviously above the surface. For nearly five months of this session, the House handled the nation's business in 25% sitting hours each week, On June 6, its work was extended to 33% hours per week; on July 4 came a further increase to 44 hours; last week the hours were raised above 50 in the customary final drive to finish off the session's tasks. At the end of every MPs always scream democratic processes are being sirangled by long exhausting hours of work; that they cannot attend in the chamber during these long hours, and at commit- tees which are always very ac- tive in the final weeks, and also carry on their routine corre. spondence and research work. session, that our WORK VALUAF is a group m 15 to 60 1 is delegated hin in number, to whi the task of studying in detail some particular aspect of the work of Parliament, and then re- porting its findings back to the le House. It is a valuable sys- em, since ii permits more inti- nmiate scrutiny of certain topics, and enhances the importance of the MP. Twelve standing committees of the House are apoinpted each session; this there are also 13 "special"' committees. 5 committees have a total membership of 861 Ministers, party and parliamer normally do not tees.

But as "appointment" is usually i a i uw i Ht matter of "volunteering", only rgent cause keeps an MP away from a committee. These details of committee work are seldom reported. Yet they do show the large burden which committee work imposes on MPs. However committees serve a valuable purpose: They enable a back-bencher to become expert in his chosen subjects, and hence to win' recognition by his outstand- ing contributions on such subjects age meeting lasts two hours, and attracts perhaps one-half of the commitiee. Thus during a session, the av- erage Tory MP spends perhaps 200 hours in attendance, reading and research relating to commit. tee work; the average CCFer spends 200 hours; and the an age Liberal somewhere between ! . o those two figures in House and Committee.
