To-all the Marthas it has meant a season of almost feverish clean- ing; to young men down through the ages EE has added com- lexities; to small boys it has it problems of temptations brought on by the essence of fish- ing, puddles and mud. ow do you keep small children out of puddles? From what I see and hear not many mothers or fathers know the answer. I have seen in town and in the country roads youngsters wading in every 00] they come near. Clothes must ge changed every day; threats of pneumonia and rheumatism leave the kids unmoved; threats of cor- poral punishment go in one ear and out the other and they haunt every puddle as systematically as duck born to water. Reading a magazine the other my husband said, "Here is a fellow suggesting 3 guage for meas- uring De depth a backyard puddle." I am quick to retort. 'Don't con- tract for one because anyone who has a boy around knows that the puddles will be at least as high as his rubbers." Apparently I spoiled his fun: for the wit in the magazine said to measure a boy's rubbers and add an inch to determine the depth of a backyard puddle. He may nearer right than I at that, for if the spring streams are not dee enough they will have a wonderf time making a dam to bring ti water to a depth more to their liking. BACK TO NATURE There is a definite urge to get back to nature in the Spring and the urges which overtake children are, if viewed from a distance, in- teresting to see. You might possibly appreciate the efforts of a group of youngsters to revert to very early Americanism in their play; there is a constant whittling to make bow'n arrows; there are real- istic war cries if someone takes the wrong piece of wood; there are | notes left for dad at bedtime to "notch a few arrqws and to string this bow, tonight. It is great adventure to points on the arrows in the fire- place and make a quiver out of some old canvass and go war- burn whooping all over the farm. You, can appreciate it if you aren't call- ed upon to clean up the shavings in three different rooms in e house every hour or so. Perha you could anyhow, for it looks like a great deal of fun and we are all getting archery minded for the time when out-door sports are the rule again. Another point is that it is so much cheaper to be an Indian than to be a cowboy; that cowboy idea was one of the most expen- sive phases that I ever expect boys to go through.

The idea is sound but just imagine the sounds if I tried to c it out. Indian war-whoops and clean wood shav- ings are preferable anytime, and as for the mud I will perhaps per- severe one more spring season anyhow.

In fact they will assure you that they cannot even feel dampness in a pair of socks which to older, less acute people would mean lumbago or ar- is. It is the magic of mud and while I am too old for it to work on me I may as well reconcile my- self to the kids having their fun for as I recall, I took advantage of my opportunities years ago.

FILM SHOWN Mr. Cooper-Slipper showed them a film called "The Jet Age" -- made at the plant during the last 18 months and carefully screened before public showing. The film outlined the start of the plant after World War II and the progress it has made in aircraft production since that time. The Kinsmen saw Avro's jet air- liner in action -- it was the first to be built on this side of the Atlantjc--and heard that produc- tion was dropped at the outbreak of the Korean war to step up fight- er production.

SYDNEY, N.S. -- We have just finished reading the extra - or- dinary document entitled 'An Act respecting the Milk Industry", in- troduced by the Ontario govern- ment. Being on the move most of the last few months the mail catches | up with us only at irregular inter- vals. The expression of our opinion therefore will come quite late and by the time these lines are print- ed, the fate of the dairy farmrs of Ontario may be sealed and they may have been disrobd of every last little bit of controlling power over the marketing of their prod- uct. TIED AND DELIVERED The bill in the form it was in- troduced for the first reading robs the producer of whatever little control he had and delivers him, tied hand and foot, to the govern- ment - appointed commission and boards provided for in the Act. First we read of "The Milk In- dustry Commission of Ontario", appointed by the Lieutenant- Governor in Council, under a chair man appointed by the Lieutenant- Governor in Council. A "Dairy Commissioner" ap - pointed by the Lieutenant - Gover- nor in Council will "supervise and co - ordinate" the administration and enforcement on this act. The next creation is 'The Milk Producers Co - ordinating Board appointed by the Eieutenant - Gov- ernor in Council under a chairman appointed by the Lieutenant-Gover- nor in Council. appointed by the Lieutenant - Gov- ernor in Council under a chairman appointed by the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor in Council. The regulations and by-laws of these weird institutions are sub- ject to the approval of the Lieuten- ant - Governor in Council. To make the whole network tight, provision is even .made for interlocking membership of the appointed bod- ies. PUC Plans Renovation The lack of individual heating control in the Public Utilities Com- mission building was decided to be one of the main problems faced in planning the renovation, last night. yi the same time, Bathe and Mc- Lellan were awarded the contract for plastering, ceiling and floor work, after this and two more ten- ders were discussed to length. Manager George F. Shreve, at a commission meeting last night, in describing the second floor rooms, which are presently being torn down for reconstruction, complain ed that a new system of radiation is needed or problems similar to those faced for several years will continue. He said that in the east section of the building, there is definitly no means of individual control of heat. One must also tear out the walls to repair radiators, he added. The jobs of renovation will cost about $2, Last but not least comes "The ' bo: Milk Products Board of Ontario" ' Milk Industry Act Is Slap At Farmers Government control over all phases of marketing goes so far as to give the Milk Control Board power to replace the representa- tives elected by a group to bargain collectively if in the opinion of the Board these representatives are "not representative" of the per- sons who elected them. LITTLE LEFT TO FARMERS What is left to the farmer is the ghost of a Marketing Agency which would not have the power to market. Even this shadow of producer- controlled marketing can only be obtained if 66 per' cent of those entitled to vote in a poll to be tak- | en by the Milk Control Board, vote | for it. | The demand of the producers that this provision be ch d to $1,117,534 Paid Out For Electricity Here Last Year Oshawa paid out $1,117,534 for hydro electric power during 1953, the Public Utilities Commission learned last night. Members voiced gratification at the size of the 13th bill, the credit being $122,124. PLAN EXTENSIONS This credit will be used for ex- tension of water lines and the elec- trical system.

STEP TOWARDS STATISM These are only a few of the highlights of the new wct. If this is what the presidents, directors and secretary - managers of our federations, associations and unions bargained for, they should all be chased out of their offices. To this columnist who always plugged for producers - controlled marketing the "Act respecting the Dairy Industry" is wu slap in the face o fevery free-born democra- tic - minded man. It takes away the social respon- sibilities from a group 'of poole, subjecting these people the arbitrary powers of government ards. It is a step towards Statism and Totalitarianism.

Surely it will worry a man if he finds his wife Crying once! If she is continu- ally doing so it becomes a habit and an irritation rather than a worry.
