Good Breakfast Can Be Basis For a Gond .Day
Is there a relationship between the
breakfast we eat and our accom-
plishments during the day? Are we,
too often, lying in bed too long with
the:,gsult that we have time only for
a few mouthfuls, of some packaged
' product that, despite the promises on
" the label, cannot give that sense of
well . being, that desire to get under--
way,
nderway, that a full breakfast, leisurely
consumed, can produce?
That's the conclusion of the Cape
Breton Post when it says what is
needed is more oatmeal porridge.
aL "This county needs more oatmeal
porridge freshly cooked from off the
kitchen stove—served ' with brown
sugar and milk rich in cream value."
- This is no jest, the Post warns, and
asks what sort of success can a stu-
dent: or working man make of a. day
beginning with • the vapid sort • of
• breakfast that is stylish nowadays.

The chicken already is-. one of our
more versatile animals, being a regu-
lar producer of eggs as well as be-
ing able to provide, when its time
comes, .. the appetizing contents of a
roasting.: pan. Now it is found to
have a third ability.
The big Dutch airline organiza-
tion KLM has discovered the coni-
_ pangof a chicken keeps elephants
being shipped "by air calm and'
lected. A special teain of airline
chickens is kept in Amsterdam for
-.4-these duties.
The elephant -carrying field being
somewhat limited, it is not likely this
additional demand for chickens will
play a - major role in reducing the
present poultry surplus. It is, how-
ever, an indication of the great var-
iety of, products which the airline
people are carrying on regular air
freight runs, - as the Financial -=Post
points out in a recent story.
Until now -air -freight as -relied

"Twelve Rules For Raising De-
linquent Children" is the title of a
leaflet issued to parents by 'a: certain
police department. They're worth
noting, and have no doubt already
given cause for thought to many a'
good parent.
1. Begin with' infancy to give the
child everything he wants. In this
way. he will grow up to -believe the
world owes_ him a living. ' -_.
2. When he picks up bad words,
- laugh at him. This will make him
think he's cute. It will also encour-
age him to pick of, "cuter" ,phrases
that will blowoff the top of. your '
head later on.
3. Never give him any spiritual
training -_ _Wait -until --he is _ 21 --and..
then let him "decide for himself."
4. Avoid use of the word "wrong."
It may develop a guilt complex. This
' will condition him to believe later,
when he isarrested for stealing a
car,that society, is against him and
he is beingpersecuted.
5. Pick everything he leaves ly-
ing around—books, shoes and Clothes.
Do everything for him so that he
will be experienced in throwing all
responsibility _ on. others.
6. Let him read any printed mat-
ter he can get his hands on._ Be care-
ful' that the silverware and drinking
glasses are sterilized, but let his tnind
feast on garbage.

"I hope the little- nap won't spoil your sleep tonight"
By W. (Bill)' B. T. SMILEY
Read in one of the gossip col-
umns the other day that Cary
Grant, the movie actor, made a
special trip by jet 6,000 miles to
Hong Kongto see his tailor. The
item went on: "Cary thinks thinks this._
particular Oriental suitmaker is
the best in the world, and is any-
body going to argue with Cary?"
Not me, Madame. ' Considering
that item calmly, I could only come
to the conclusion that Cary and I
have a lot different things . on; •our
minds. And I don't say that in
envy. I have a perfectly good.suit.
As far as I'm concerned, it's just
as good as the day I got it, four
'years, ago.,
Every 'year about this time
there's a newspaper convention,.
nd every year it takes me about.
three weeks to talk my wife into
going. She can't go because she
hasn't anything to wear. "So buy
yourself a dress," I say. Turns
out she has a dress, but she doesn't
have a fur coat. That brings that
convention to an abrupt halt.
Then she tries to make me feel
like a heel with the old reverse
psychology. "I can't possibly ask
Mother to keep the children again.
And you know hole worn out we
are after a convention. I haven't
a stitch to wear except that old
black thing. My ironing is three
weeks behind. I simply can't go,
in fact I don't even want to go.
Why don't you go alone? You'd
enjoy getting away from us all for
a couple of days."
This I get at lunch hour, for ex-
ample. I am supposed to ,.tep1y:-
"Now, come on, sweetie. Your
mother won't mind having the lads.
It does us good to get away. Don't
worry about your ironing. You
know I' wouldn't go without you."
What I say is: "O.K." When I
get home at six, she has a dress
ripped apart, her mother lined up,
and is desperately ironing" clothes
for the whole family for the 'week-
end.
This year, she tried a new gim-
mick. Instead of"that time -worn
antic about having__ nothing to
wear, she assured me, with some
coldness, that I was so shabby
she wouldn't be seen with me ,at
a ragpickers' rally, let alone a•
convention of urbane, well-groom-
ed newspaper editors. -
This was unfair and she knew it.
I have that good gray suit. I have
a genuine Harris tweed jacket,
made-•in-4Montreal, that 1 got at
the same time, -the year we went
to that convention down east, about
'56. And a good stout pair -of
black shoes, resoled a couple of
times, but taking ,a nice- shine,
that- 1 -bought for the same trip.
* * ?a
My topcoat is a bit shabby, but
after all, it was secondhand when
I bought it three years ago from.
an -old air force sidekick who'd
gone a bit alcoholic. The two top
buttonholes are sloppy as a sow's
ear,• but the .bottom. one stays. hut..
toned. And the lining is like new.
It's detachable and I never seem
to get it zipped in for ,the cold
weather.
All in all, I'fn.not ashamed to'be
seen in any company, and I haven't
been turned away from any place
since the time the waiter in the
pub asked me if I was 18 and I'
said sure, I'm 19, and he, .said,
well get the hell out of here,' sonny','
you gotta be 21 •
What"'started-"th'e_Old Girl on this
jump, ,I do believe, was my long
underwear and' its recent unfor-
tunate betrayal. This winter, I've
given up my youthful vanity, with
great relief, and gone back to that
delight of my childhood, long un-
-dervvear,-' No • more shivering in
shorts for me. No , more creaking
hips, treacherous kidneys and par-
alyzed kneecaps.
* •* ,s
Only trouble -is that I have just
the one suit, which I got for Christ-
mas. So, when it's in the Wash I
have to wear .pyjama bottoms, or
risk a cold. " Couple of weeks ago,
we were at the opening of the Leg-
islature, and attended the Lieu-
tenant -Governor's reception after-
wards. There was a "big line-up to
shake hands 'with the host and his
wife, and the Premier and his wife.
The Premier was really friendly.
"So glad you could come," he
beamed, and shook hands warmly.
"Well, it sure was hard to get
away in the middle of -The week
"I started to- tell -1µm, and
my 'wife hit me a kidney punch
from behind that almost downed
me. ,
When we got to the Lieutenant -
Governor, I watched the guy ahead
of me in line, to see what he'd do.
He bowed slightly as he shook
hands -with the L.G. So I did. And
when nay head went down, my eye_
Wascaught by something.. A big,
fat flap of red -stripped flannelette
pyjama pants, draped over my
shoe. It' had slipped out of my
sock where -I stuff them so they
won't show.
There followed 20 minutes of
acute anguish, in that huge re-•
deption room full of beauty and
gallantry, before---I--could find a
place to crouch and re -stuff them.
And it took me three days to in-
duce my wife to. recognize my
presence on earth.
She would agree to go to the
convention this year only when I
'promised to wear my pale gray
pyjama bottoms, instead of the
red -striped flannelette.

The issue of capital punishnent,
unlike the great majority of prob-;
lems-that Parliament• tackle, is
not going •to be decided by the
leaders. It will be up to each M.P.
to make up his own,mind, and vote
according to his own conscience
and we can hope, -his own logic,
This in itself will be an inter-
esting spectacle. So-called "free"
votes are a rare thing in modern
parliamentary democracy, and all
but a few'of our M,P;'shave never
enjoyed the experience.' '
Consequently, there is more hard
thinking being done among the pol-
iticians .at this moment than may
have been the case for many years.
Nearly everyone has an opinion
on the merits or demerits of hang-
ing the murderer. Few people
base,, their opinion on -anything
more than mere emotion.
It is to be hoped that the M.P.'s
regardless of their personal feel-
ings, will probe deep .into, the fun-
damental issues before they chart
the course of Canadian criminal
punishment foryears to come.
At this point Parliament is _fac-
ing three different versions of `the
capital punishment argument:"
Conservative M.P. Frank Me -
Gee, the bright young descendant
of Confederation's D'Arcy McGee;'
bas reintroduced; . with. support
from, members of every party, his
bill to abolisb hanging or any oth-
er form of so-called legal killing
except on conviction of treason.
Hanging is mandatory now on•con
viction of murder and piracy with
violence.
Senator David Croll, a Toronto
Liberal, has a- similar - bill • in front
of the Senate, waiting on the dis-
position of Mr. McGee's bill in the
other House. -
And .now, to muddy up the water
further, another Conservative has
proposed a bill which would retain
capital punishment, but substitute
the -gas -chamber for .hanging:
M.P: John Drysdale's plan is
more involved. He would also di-
vide the crime of murder into two
classes, "capital" murder and a
gin, commonly used for the hollow ,second definition that would lump

was blown during Indian ceremon-
ies. Calumets are frequently spok-
en of as pipes andy in fact, no rig-
id division can be drawn between
the two. Ceremonial smoking took
place frequently in connection with
agreements between tribes, espec-
ially peace,- _treaties.' • From this
fact comes the well-known expres-
sion "pipe of peace” symbolizing
the mutual ceremonial smoking of
tobacco. Tobacco was cultivated
by the Indians of southern On-
tario and parts of the prairies and
from these two areas it was
ed' for a considerable distanee; so
that the area of tobacco smoking
was considerably wider . than that
of tobacco growing. Generally.
speaking, the Indians thought of
the.burning of tobacco as' a sacri-
fice of one of the products of Moth-
er Nature: Thus, smoking was not
a mere indulgence but had ele-
ments of" religious significance,

ually on sultry summer evenings,
is perhaps best explained as a
sphere of ignited marsh gas mov-
ing above the water's surface; in

Death would be the penalty for
"capital,' murder; life imprison-
ment that for other. forms. •
Mr. Drysdale's.reasons for sub-
mitting the alternative plan are
revealing.
Many M.P.'s agree,' he says, that
hanging is outmodes{ and ineffici-
ent. But he sides with the people
who' would retain- capital punish-'
ment because he believes -it to be
a, deterrent to other criminals. -

There's good reason for suspi-

election will be held before the
snow flies in 1961. The 24th Par-

April, 1,96 but a great many.un-
comfortabe decisions are cropping
up in 1962,, and it seems logical
that Prime Minister Diefenbaker
will seek a further mandate be-
fore then. Some of those decisions:
