Area Parks Provide Needed Service
While there are no provincial or
-county parks in Huron there are
miles of beautiful beach, some of
which continues to be open to the
public, and there are a number of
smaller parks, such as the Seaforth
Lions Park, in which either groups
or individuals may relax and enjoy
themselves.
But we are reminded by the �St.
Marys Journal -Argus that the Pin-
ery Park is available to the people
of this district, and is within easy
driving distance.
"In summertime the life of many
of us is made brighter due to the new
Pinery Park on Lake Huron, south
of Grand Bend," the Journal -Argus
says. "Of course we could go to the
beach at Grand Bend, or Ipperwash.
They are fine if you like crowds—but
for those over their teen -years they
have their disadvantages.
"The Pinery Park is the place for
the family. It is the place also for
couples and groups who like to be
able to find a stretch of beach which
they can have to themselves a great _.
deal of time—pr where you can have
a picnic table with a grill nearby.
There is space galore, even on a busy
holiday—space for parking, facilities
for changing clothes, lots of handy
containers for garbage, flat places
for a pick-up ball game—and hilly
places, for hide-and-seek, or just plain
tumbling.
"The Pinery Park has 4,250 acres.
It has almost five miles of the finest
sand beach in Ontario. There are five
hundred sites for campers in it, and
nearly 2,000 picnic tables are provid-
ed. There is even a canoe launching
site, new this year.
"We think it is great that the Pin-
ery Park and other parks like it have
been established in Ontario by the
Department of Lands and Forests.
These places can be used'•by everyone
but are especially wonderful for the
family which has not a summer home
at its command.
"Too many of our wonderful lake
beaches have already been appropri-
ated by private.. residents. It was well
time that some of the remaining por-
tions be kept for the public before it
was too late. The Pinery is an excel-
lent example of this preservation for
the people of their rights." -
Population Changes Affect Canadian Economy.
A recent issue of the Bank of
Montreal Business Review has re-
vealed in striking fashion the chang-
es which are due to occur in the struc-
ture of the Canadian population dur-
ing the next decade, and has pointed
out some of the effects that these
changes will produce in the Canadian
economy.
Not only will the Canadian popu-
lation as a Whole probably increase
from about 18 millions to some 221/2
millions between 1960. and 1970, but
there will also be significant changes
in the number of people in different
age groups.
For example, provided that pres-
ent birth and death rates are main-
tained, there will be a large increase
of children under five years of age.
Because of the "baby boom" of the
post-war years there will also be a
large expansion in the number of
teen-agers, especially in the early'
1960's. In the late 1960's this wave
of 'young people will be marrying
There will be vast increases in the
number of products and supplies re-
quired by babies.-' Within the next
few years the so-called "teen-age
market" will become even more im-
portant and significant than it is now.
That demands and requirernents
such as these can be forecast so far
in advance is one of the results of
the statistical revolution that has
taken place in this- century. To a
greater extent than ever before, in-
dustry and services need rely less
and less upon chance, and can count
more upon • the results of careful'
planning and study. Certainly it
would•seem that on the basis of pres-
ent indications the future may well
bring a considerable economic ex-
pansion. --Montreal Gazette.

----SUGAR AND SPICE
By W. (Bill) B. T. SMILEY
We old air force types are rest-
ing easier these nights, secure in
the knowledge that the great tra-
ditiens we helped to establish are
in safe hands. I've felt this way
since I read in the papers the oth-
er day about the new pamphlet for
air force personnel.,
* * *
Entitled A Guide to Social Re-
creation in the Royal Canadian Air
Force, it is .a 118 -page document.
They quoted only a few passages
from it, in the newspaper stories.
But these were enough to convince
me that life in the air force these
days is just as exciting as ever,
and a whole lot more fun.
* * *
The pamphlet is designed to help
the airman get acquainted., be ac-
cepted socially, and lose his feel-
ing of personal insignificance. To
bring this about, and help him feel
that he is one Of 'the gang, the
booklet suggests some fascinating
games that can be played at RCAF
station parties.
* * *
Most of these ice -breakers seem
to be played'on your knees. That's
as good a method as any of abol-
ishing stiffness and reserve, and
levelling differences in rank.
Here's one of them. It's called
Rabbit. "All kneel on the floor in
a circle. The leader asks each
one in, turn if he knows how to
play rabbit. When they admit they
do not, he rises and says: 'Well, I
guess we can't play it then, no one
knows how.'" That would cer-
tainly establish an informal, friend-
ly 'attitude at any party.
* * *
Here's another. "All are asked
to kneel in a circle to be initiated
into theorder of Siam. They are
requested to repeat after the lead-
er the oath of allegiance: `Owa
Tagoo Siam'. They say it slowly
at first; then rapidly. One by one
they realize that they are saying,
'0 what a goose I am'." Hey,
wouldn't their. faces be red?
* * *
Just one more sample. "All play-
ers are told to get in a crouch
position on the floor with their
heads down. They are told to re-
peater after the leader, Iine by
line: 'With all my heart; with all
my mind; I know that I; stick out
behind'." Imagine the roars of
laughter, the gay camaraderie this
one would produce.
* * *
All .I can say is that it makes
me sick with envy. We sure .didn't
have any fun like that when I was
in the air force. Night after night
we'd just sit around the mess and
drink beer and argue. Heck, some-
times we felt so socially insecure
we'd have .to gee right out of the
mess and cycle five miles through
the blackout to a -pub so we could
get into a lively game of shove ha'
penny.
* * *
Oh, we did have a few old games
that might' crop up once in a while
at a station party. But they were
pretty effe ate,, badly organiz-
ed efforts, dompared to Rabbit,
for example. We did have one,
though, that was played on hands
and knees, like these new ones.
* * '*
Two large, preferably thick-
headed young pilots were chosen.
Each was .given a• weapon, consist-
ing of newspapers or magazines,
tightly rolled. They were blindfold-
ed. Then on hands and knees,
they stalked each other. Idea was
to find your opponent and club him
unconscious. First to draw blood
was,•:the winner' and the loser had
to buy a roundfor all hands.
* * *
Another of our simple little
games was something like that one
they play at the Women's Institute
called Sing, Say or Pay. We'd all
stand in a circle. Bach in turn
had to tell a story, sing a song,
or have his trousers removed and
a pint of cold ale poured over that
part'of his anatomy between navel
and knees. This always led to
some goodnatured, boyish scuffling
in which one type lost tufo front
teeth and 'another got a' warped
nose, at one party I remember.
* * *
Then there was Boomerang. This
was ,played only when most of the
players were leaving first thing in
the melting for a new station.
First, .you gathered all the plates
and saucers from the'llning room
retired hastily behind a barricade
consisting of the piano or a large
table turned on its side. Then you
skimmed a plate every time one of
the -opposing ..team stuck. his head
up. You'd get one right back at
you, hence the name Boomerang.
This was a jolly,~cheerful-game,
designed not only to break down.
the traditional reserve of the fight-
er pilot, but also every window in
the place.
• * * •
And 'of course there was Mess
Rugger. This was a high-spirited
game in which any number could
take part. Having to gallop over
the chesterfields and around the
tables made it more •interesting.
The smallest pilot in the mess was
used as a ball, and the game end-
ed when someody was successful
in drop-kicking him over the bar.
* * *
I know that sound's like pretty
anemic stuff compared to the red-
blooded virility of Owa Tagoo Si-
am, but it wasn't our fault that
we were born 20 years too soon.

What Is the First Meridian?
This is the basic north -south line
from which lands are surveyed in
the prairie provinces. It is at 97
degrees 27 minutes west, just a
few miles west of Winnipeg. From
this line townships are • surveyed
and numbered east to the second
initial meridian east, at 94 degrees
west, just east of the Lake of the
Woods; and west to the second in-
itial meridian west, at 102 degrees
weft, not far west of the Mani-
toba -Saskatchewan boundary. Here
township numbers begin again,
then again at the third Meridian

How Many Prime Ministers Have
Survived Defeat?
Three Canadian prime ministers
have survived defeat to return at
a later period to lead their coun-
t's government.The three have
beets. Sir John"Maedo'nald, Ar-
thus Meighen and William Lyn"
Mackenzie King. Macdonald, after
six years as prime minister, was
defeated by the Liberals tinder
Alexander Mackenzie. in 1873, but
he was returned to power in 1878
and continded in office until his
death in 1891. Melghen, leader of
the government in 1920-21, was de-
feated by King, but again took the
reins of office for a short period
in 1926. King, who bad already giv-
en way to Melghen in 1926, was
defeated by the. Conservatives un-
der R. B. Bennett in 1930 and for
five years remained as leader of
the opposition. In 1935, however",
he regained office and served as
prime minister until his retirement
in 1948.

Where Was the Talbot Settlement?
In southwestern Ontario, Thomas
Talbot in the early years of the
19th century obtained from the
British government a . grant of
many thousands of acres in the
Lake Erie region, established him-
self a Port Talbot On Lake Erie
and gave his name to the capital
of his settlement, St. Thomas.
Many prosperous communities in
the Ontario counties of Essex,
Kent, Lambton Norfolk, Oxford,
Elgin and Middlesex owe their ori-
gin to his colonizing efforts. Born
in Ireland in 1771, Talbot followed.
a military career until settling
permanently in Upper Canada in
1802. He had previous spent four
years in Upper Caned on military
duty, part of the time as private
secretary to Lt. -Col. John Graves

TUE BIBLE TODAY :.
The fabled land of Ethiopia has
been the scene of many historic
events, not the least of which was
the :presenting of a beautiful bound
copy of the New Testament in
thtbiople (the liturgical language of
e' Church) to His Holiness Abuna
Basilios, the first Patriarch of .the
newly autonomous Church of 'Eth-
iopia.
The Orthodox Church of Ethiopia
is one of the most .ancient of all
the Christian Churches and is tra-
ditionally linked with the Coptic
Church of Egypt which Looks to
St. Mark, the author of the Gospel
which bears his Game, as its foun-
der.
Until 1950 Egypt had provided
the Ethiopian Church with its
Archbishop but in that year the
Venerated Abun Basilios was
consecrated its Archbishop. He was
consecrated Patriarch in. Cairo in
June, 1959, and on his return to
Ethiopia the Rev. Canon A. F.
Matthew, an Honorary Life Gover-
nor of the British and Foreign
Bible Society presented the new
Patriarch with the New Testa-
ment. -
In Ethiopia the new revised Am-
haric Bible is meeting with a great
response from the people.

Who Was the First Protestanr
Clergyman in Montreal? .
John Ogilvie, an Anglican chap-
lain. He was born in New York
in 1722 and was educated at Yale
University, receiving his B.A. in
1748 and his M.A. .in 1751. Shortly
after his ordination he became a
chaplain with the colonial forces
in the Seven Years' War and from
1760 to' 1764 he. was stationed in
Montreal. His register of births,
deaths and marriages for this per-
iod is still in existence. Ogilvie
died in New York in 1774.
YOUR GARDEN HUS
NEED LI1TL1 'CARE
The iris .is one garden favourite
that can get along without a great
deal of fuss and bother, say On-
tario Department of Agriculture
sources,
All plants need water, though;
and the iris is no exception. Water
the plants enough before blooming
time to keep the soil moist, but not
wet.
Remove weeds and grass around
the rhizomes.
Loosen the surface soil with a
hoe just before the plants bloom.
Be careful not to injure the
rhizomes or the roots.
Cut the flowers as soon as they
fade, unless you want seed for
later use.
Fertilizer? Although most plants
do not need it, the time to apply
fertilizer is just after they blbom.
Apply about one cup of fertilizer
(such as 5-10-5). to each large iris
clump.
In the early fall, cut the plants
to a height of about seven inches
from the ground.
A McDUFF . oTTAW!A REPORT t
Queltee once• More ,toe KW,
OITAWA .The best known: het
on Parliament Bill for the Qgebec
elect"tion could not, have had much
lower stakes : fot'mer Labour Min-
ister Paul Marth 'won his ten cent
wager 'with Theo Ricard, the P.C.
member for St. Hyacinthe, that the
Grits would win.
There was comfort and discom-
fort for everybody in Canada's first
two provincial elections this year.
However, the defeat of the Union
National is of major significance
and goes far beyond the 5044 seat
figure, No provincial victory could
have meant as much to the Fed-
eral Liberals as that of Jean
Lesage in their traditional anchor
province of Quebec.
The stunning Liberal win there
over the Union National is the first,
solid basis for their hope of up-
setting the Diefenbaker Govern-
ment next round, In no other prov-
ince is organization and money so
important, and the Union National
defeat will leave their organiza-
tion (on which the Federal Tories
leaned heavily in the 1958 elec-
tion) in shreds and the coffers very
low. The defeat is doubly serious
for the Federal Tories as they have
yet (after three years in power),
to develop a Quebec leader of any
stature and there is still no one
on the horizon.
The Provincial Liberal success
raises the possibility of the Liber-
als corning out of the Maritimes
and Quebec. with as many as 80
seats in the next Federal election.
While it would still be quite a dis-
tance to a majority victory it
could mean a Diefenbaker (or ev-
en Liberal) minority government,
depending to a great extent on
the.split of opposition votes in the
rest of the country between Lib-
erals, the New Party and Social
Credit. This is still just specula-
tion, but before Quebec it was only
hopeful Liberals who indulged in
it.

The Annual Chorus
' Voices calling for the reform of
Parliament are usually heard loud-
est and longest in the spring of the
year and early summer. The gen-
eral public may be a little mysti-
fied by the timing of this annual
chorus, But the reason is simple.
It is at this time of year that
Members of Parliament face the
fact that the inefficient operation
of the House of Commons is going
to force them to sit through an-
other sticky and sweltering sum-
mer.
They can't expect much sympa-
thy from the public. :The' MP's
find that most of their constitu-
ents don't know at any particular"
time whether Parliament is sitting
or not. But ttie public should take
more interest for -the basic reasons
behind the summer sittings, be-
cause they relate to the effective-
ness of this country's most impor-
tant elective institution.
The problem in a nutshell is this:
While the country has rushed for-
ward and grown in the postwar
period, Parliament has been stand-
ing still, or almost standing still.
Each session there is far more leg-
islation for the House to consider
than there was the session before.
Each year its job of controlling
the executive and administration
grows in scope because of the
growth and proliferation of govern-
ment departments and agencies.
Yet the House of Commons—and
we talk about the Commons,.mot
the appointed Senate, because the
Commons is where real power lies
—meanders along scarcely recog-
nizing the changes'that have taken
place around it. The old rules, the
old habits, the old procedures and
the old speeches prevail, making
the Green Chiiplber geem.s'almost
as much of an anachronism and
museum -piece in the west end of
the Centre Block as the Red Cham..
ber does in the east end.
Although a Commons committee
has recently been appointed to try
to work out ways of making the
House more effective, it is a eau
tion to remember that the Rouse;
is the way it is today 'despite in,.
corporating the recommendations
of a similar committee five years
ago.
Anyone who has visited the Com.
mons for any length of time can
immediately put his finger on one
of its main weaknesses. The
speeches are too long and too re-
petitious, insufficiently researched
and prepared, and there are too
many of them on any one subject,
In other words, the places bores to
death M,P.'s and visitors alike,
Except on rare occasions when
there is a reasonably short time
limit, debates in the Commons are
not deb ates "at all; they are a ser-
ies of after-dinner speeches that
lack focus and go on interminably.
The first and most obviously nec-
cessary steps is to cut down the
length of speeches and impose
stricter time limits on debate. This
is not suggested mainly as a time-
saving device—a sort of stop -watch
recommendation of the efficiency
expert. The real purpose would be
to keep debatesto the point of is-
sue, to make it .essential for the
speakers to make every word count
and to ensure that debate has not
time to wander into irrelevance
and repetition. •
But even if the House is given
a better chance to produce good
debate, the advantage will be lost
if the business of the House is not
so ordered that the M.P.'s know
well in advance what iscoming
up; that is, what they have -to pre-
pare for. Experience of the past
10 years indicates that the Com-
mons has to sit for more than
half the year and that it tends to
get sluggish and careless if kept
through the. summer.
The second step would be to
move the opening of Parliament
forward to the fall and divide it
into terms, like the school year,
Then a general schedule of busi-
ness could be laid down for each
term, since parliamentary business
breaks down fairly easily into cate-
gories: general debate on admin
stration, legislative enactment and
control •of spending.
Visitors to the Commons often
exclaim askance over the low at-
tendance. They shouldn't. Attend-
ance and participation are an M.
P.'s first duty. But except for cer-
tain times, such as Question Per-
iod and major debates, it doesn't
take a full or nearly -full House to
make an effective debating cham-
ber. In fact, the more the Mem-
bers do their research andpre-
paration outside the House, the
more the House itself is reserved
for matters of moment. Also a 265 -
member chamber is a quite un-
wieldy instrument for detailed
work.
This has . already been recogniz-
ed. The growth of the committee
system to do much of the work of
scrutinizing legislation, keeping a
check on the mushrooming bur-
eaucracy and more particularly go-
ing through expenditure with a fine
tooth comb, has been a welcome
development. But here again effici-
ency is severally hampered by the
way the job is done. Most of the
committees are too big -30 to 60
members. With so many commit-
tees this means that each M.P. be-
longs to several and his possibili-
ties of specializing are limited. An
investigation is usually more ef-
fective if only a few people do the
