he may look like a mere animated clod but his sticky tongue is forked lightn ing to insects he does all his work at ground level look ing up at the undersides of leaves where insects lurk that even the sharpesteved of birds fail to see he is one of the most valuable of our allies in the endless insect war bran don sun who are these designers a story is going the rounds of the daily press to the effect that fashion designers have decreed that mens pants will be worn ending at the ankle as the new style at the same time womens skirts will be worn longer in length which all leads us to enquire who are these designers that presume to tell men how long their trousers shall be it may be truthful to say that women are a slave to fashion and were ready to wear skirts that didnt cover them decently but we mean it when we say that men cannot be pulled around by the nose in this fashion the length of trousers will not be changed materially regardless of what the designer says he may pull a few freaks into line but not the rank and file if the designers think we do not know what we are talking about out here in this rural section just let them throw a pair of their newfangled length pants at us and see where is protection the financial post is not very critical of the manner in which canadian banks try to defend their cash but the paper instead asks where are the police our humble impression is that the banks might do a little more about these robberies instead of the police for instance if banks were equipped with alarm system that could be set off by a clerk merely reaching his or her foot forward to warn the outside that a robbery was underway more of the bandits might be caught however that is just a suggestion and there might be a better one with which to foil the holdup man however here is the editorial printed in the financial post bank holdups and robberies of safety deposit boxes have been alarmingly frequent during the past year notable is the fact that the gangsters seem to pull off these holdups with very little interference are our police forces giving up the kind and quality of protection we pay for when lawlessness in any form succeeds it becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to check more and more lawlessness gangsterism readily skips from one form to another banks are overhauling their vaults installing safety devices and otherwise trying to meet the present emergency- the suggestion has been made that municipalities perhaps with provincial aid arrange special guards for banks it is argued that heading off a crime wave will be cheaper now than later on whatever the solution the reality is that the situation seems to have got beyond the police this continent has had enough awful examples of rampant lawlessness to suggest the need for some very sober attention to this matter here right now why bread is going up a sharp jump in bread prices is certain to arouse emotions across the country in the outburst a lot of innocent people are going to be criticized farmers millers and bakers will be accused of excessive profits we saw the same thing when milk prices advanced after subsidy removal last spring now the subsidies are coming off wheat and a lot of people will complain that bread prices are soaring actually prices have been advancing steadily since 1939 but the increase has been largely hidden in wheat which is the raw material for bread the subsidy amounts to over 80 cents per bushel which was more than the world price for this commodity not so long ago altogether since the start of the war ottawa has paid out almost half a billion dollars in farm subsidies alone including some back in the early years for reducing production not increasing it after the war the government hoped to withdraw quietly from the subsidy field as prices fell the plan was to have the consumer assume the full retail price when the decline had equalled the subsidy in that case the consumer would not have noticed any change but the plan went widely astray when food prices continued to advance instead of declining this year now the consumer faces a double hoist the amount of the subsidy the government has been paying plus increases in costs hes not going to like it because he doesnt under stand but in ihe end it will make life simpler because we will learn what our food and other commodities really cost government to recommend higher wheat price early in the next session of parliament the federal government will recommend an increase in the initial wheat price paid to western farmers retroactive to the 1945 crop stated the hon james a mackinnon minister of trade and commerce on august 26 he said that a higher advance to farmers is possible because of the favourable prices received by the canndian wheat board on sales to date and because of the guarantees and other provisions contained in the united kingdom wheat contract applicable to the balance of the present crop also the 194s and 1949 crops under the canadian wheat board act the initial price to farmers is 135 per bushel for one northern basis in store fort william port arthur or vancouver it will there fore be necessary for parliament to amend the act before a higher initial price can be paid if parliament approves the higher price will apply to the 194549 crops mr mackinnon said that the amount of the increase would depend on the size of the present crop and develop ments in the market situation between now and the a5mb- ling of parliament but he gave assurance that an increase would be recommended w although a new fisheries min ister has been named in tne person of milton f gregg who was presi dent of the university of new brunswick and who is contesting for the liberals yorksunbury in the oct 20th byeleetion yet it is whispered in this capital that a cabinet reorganization is almost a eenamy lefore the next sesson of parliament will get going with a variety of rumors heard in gossip circles along parliament hill at the present time including the possi bility of a shift in posts for some members of the cabinet and the departure of others in any case it is said here that such plans are in the making right now and the appointment of a new fisheries minister is only one of the moves with others likely to follow later there is no doubt that business men and others throughout canada will be interested to learn that unofficially it is understood in this captal that the wartme prices and trade board may be the subject of an important announcement with in a few weeks and this may offer a hint as to the approximate time for the end of most of the opera tions of this organization still to be carried on from headquarters here it is sad that the expectation is that this will indicate w few controls will be allowed to remain until the final windup of the organigation with one suggested as a likely con trol being rental regulations the importance of uniformity of legislation in the different provinces was emphaszed at the conference of commissioners on uniformty a committee of the canadian bar association at a meeting in ottawa where a spokesman for the canj adian government indicated in no uncertain language of the benefits derived from the deliberations and decisions of this body both for the domnion and the provinces indeed it is recognized here that many of the recommendations of these com- mssioners have been accepted and placed on the statute books we all know that disruptive forces are tirelessly at work in canada to day said w j p omeara kc presiding at the conference the rule of law alone aside from christ ian faith holds those forces in check these distinguished mem bers of the bar receive no remun eration for their work on this con ference on uniformity ricnmmerded sated trade ami commerce minister mackinnon in discussing wheat prces they are amazed at what we have sent over and hope we can continue remarked bryan l white editor of the

parliament with the anticipation that he will prepare a report on same for the government after visiting westminister auction sale it s reported in ottawa that more houses will be built in canada this year than ever before though there is no doubt that the initial objec tive of s0000 housing units may not be reached even if the 70000 units figure is almost sure to be passed including 20000 housing units under government plans and from 50000 to 55000 units under private plans incidentally too building costs are reported to be passing their peak and while material costs may be a little higher efficiency in building and less costly details in securing materials may bring a downward trend by moderate degree the trouble with the british commonwealth is that britain is overpopulated and that the domin- ons are underpopulated said hon a a calwell australian minister of immigration during a brief visit to ths capital the amount of the increase can not yet be decided depending in large part
