amendments on the adoption of the speech from the throne carries on with prospects of a division early this week ijor years we have heard that much valuable time in parlia ment is wasted in superfluous ora tory and while a few brief weeks here is too short a time to form an opinion to pass judgment right now our frank opinion is that there is at least some foundation for the charge however we still think the right of free expression is a bul wark of democracy which must be preserved one thing about it which strikes me as a new member is that while there is much oratory in parliament a comparatively few members listen to it party leaders in full dress de- cut 10 ft hay raks 2 sets drag bate command a goad hearing but harrows 3ec steel wheel truck wagon gear cutting box

answers q before war we owned our own home when my husband went overseas we rented it by the month how long must we wait to get it back the tenants say they do not have to give it up a this is one time when the ten ants are wrong rental regu lations are different for return ing servicemen than they are for civilians here at home when your tmsband is dis charged he can give the tenants three months notice to vacate and get possession of your home at the end of this period may i use meat tokens in any butcher shop or must i take them back to the butcher who gave them to me there seems to be some mis understanding about the use of tokens they can be used in exactly the same way as ration coupons they are valid for the purchase of meat in any butch er shop in canada we are planning a standrews day dinner on friday nov 30 as this falls on a meatless day we are wondering if we could serve haggis or if this would be considered meat it would seem from the num ber of enquiries coming in that many standrews day dinners are being planned we have taken this matter up with the ration administration and it has been decided to permit the serving of haggis on this day j why should we ration meat to feed the german people when our meat goes to europe how do we know they dont get some of it l this is just one more rumour which has been going the rounds since meat rationing went into effect we are glad to give you the correct informa tion and hope you will pass it along to anyone who believes this rumour no canadian meat is going to either germany or italy the meat which goes to europe is distributed by the combined feed board which includes representatives from the united kingdom the united states and canada so you see the canadian representatives are well informed on the dis posal of the meat shipped from canada t i i am a member of a church group which is planning a wel- come home party for members returning from overseas where do we apply for extra rations to be used at this party i sorry there is no place where you can obtain extra it is not uncommon to see and hear a private member holding forth to a mere handful of members and many of those are reading news papers writing letters or quite unconcernedly chatting with a neighbour many are in the lobbies talking over affairs of state and ethers are in their olfices attending to constituency business weve found however that no matter what may be said to the con trary the average day of a member is a busy one our day starts with getting to the office at 930 am and our first item of business is to read the morning mail this always is a pleasure as so far it has been heavy and included many letters from north york the next few hours are spent answering our mail inter viewing a minister a deputy- minister or one of the numberless officials on some board or other we have heard many expressions of desire that in this country we get rid of controls as soon as possible and we heartily agree if for no other reason than to get rid of controllers in the morning too there may bea committee meeting or a caucus the house meets at 3 pm and from then until adjourn ment at 11 pm a member is at the session as much as possible and in any event must remain within the parliament buildings in this parliament the govern ment majority is comparatively small which means every member must be on the job in case of a division the membership of the house numbers 245 on the right of the speaker who is a liberal sit 128 liberals and on the left sit 67 conservatives 28 ccf mem- glass i bers 13 social crediters 2 bloc populaire and 6 other various in dependents it will be noted the government majority over all oposition is small but at the same time it must be remembered that a solid opposition vote against it is unlikely on a major issue it is un likely for thereason that many in the opposition greatly prefer the government party to some of their fellows in opposition among the main problems before this transition parliament are demobilization and rehabilitation of service personnel reconversion of war industry to peacetime industry and intsrnational trade to provide markets for our goods particularly our agricultural and primary indus try products a stickler is that be hind all our problems of peaceloom the problsrhs of a world torn and disorganized by six years of war our success in meeting these prob lems depend on not only what we do here in canada but on what hap pens in a world devastated by war and grappling with problems which include hunger and starvation in this connection we might point out that many domestic policies which may seem hard to understand may have international implications which are difficult to explain at present we might point out too that meat rationing which is unpopular with a considerable section of public opinion might in the long view and in the light of sufh international implications justify those who now claim it is necessary this raises an important point in our reconstruction program in regard to our tninking as a people it is becoming increasingly apparent that the problems of peace are going to require sacrifices no less demand ing than those made on the home front in time of war all were glad to support an all out war effort so in like manner let us support an all out effort for peace and may we meet the problems of the post war era with the same patriotic spirit as we met the problems of war we are sorry our duties in ott awa deny us the constant pleasure of meeting friends in north york and we are particularly disappoint ed that our duties here at this time deny us the great pleasure of wel coming home many of the boys from overseas may we take this opportunity of extending to one and
