With one man as focal point for problems

Clinton needs such an organizer. The help
of service clubi would still be required, and the •

The actual acc,omplishment of this ideal seems
to be the only fair thing. , •
In actual practice 'however, according to
the Letter'-Review, tlie results are hot so very
satisfactory. This publication says: "fortunately,.
economic and political rapercussions of parity •

Canadian Government is likely to pay scant
heed 'to views of a handful of left-of-centre of-
ficials• of the Manitoba Farmers' Union, whose
views, although widely publicized, do not reflect
sound thinking of the' majority of Manitoba
fanners.
"A glance at what parity price ,sunports
have done to the USA economy and to world
wheat markets should be enough to deter any
right-mirlded politician in Canada from wanting
to follow Uncle Sam's unfortunate example." •
Be all this at-is may, however, the dream
of parity prices for farmers will continue to'
exist, and we feel, rightly so. •

bees in one week arriving on prey-

recognize the specimens swooping
about the home premises in ad-
vance of the mass invasion, but
took them:to be wasps or some-
thing of that nature,
The picture conjured up in my
imagination •by the word "bee" has
always been a bumblebee, a plump
and hearty, member of the species,
rocking perilously over the petals
of a flower in search of the honey
at its' heart and buzzing cheerfully
all the while. It is a pleasant pic-
ture, colored by a warm glow of
approval for busy industry and a
certain esthetic satisfaction in the
bold black and yellow of the bee
in contrast to the hue of the flow-
er.
The bumblebee is a, jolly fellow,
easily avoided in the open air and,
if by chance one should, blunder
indoors,- it can always be caught
in a bottle against the win ow
pane, with a paper slipped dyer
the opening once the buzzing vis-
itor is safely inside. Releasing• it
to fly away in the sunshine, one
can feel that a good deed has been
doneato a deserving and innocuous,
though 'rather blundering, insect.
