One of the most interesting de bates of last week was that on the motion for compulsory retirement of all persons over the age of 60 years. This motion was brought in by A. A. Heaps, C.C.F. member for Winnipeg North. The debate continued for several days and was finally ruled out of order by a; recorded vote. The parties supposing this motion were the C.C£F«, some of the Social Cred itors and; Miss Agnes *Macphail. Those voting, against were the'Lib* erals and the Conservatives. During the discussion the Finance Minister informed the House that, if the mo tion carried it would mean an in crease of $500,000,000 annually. The motion of the Prime Minister to have the Canada-United States Trade Treaty confirmed was debated ?n by both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition. This debate will be carried on for ano ther week, at least and I "will refer to the matter at a later date. There is a motion on the ‘ Order Paper at present to . have the Civil Service Act amended. It has not as yet come down but is expected to 'ause some excitement. The princi pal idea is, I believe, to have appoint ments outside the Federal Goveyn- m^t“SCTvic^~aFOttaW,_ madeuhder ;fhe direct supervision of the Minister the Department concerned, in- stead of, as at present, by the Civil Service Commission. Apparently a ^reat many discrepencies creep into these appointments. > | “ There is. also a motion to amend the Post Offiee-Actr and this may-be >f interest to the postal carriers. The motion asks that contracts be let on a mileage basis instead of, as at pre sent, by tender. , Apparently in the nast there have been many abuses in this practice, - and the Postmaster General desires the condition to be ”efiiedied. ° No decision has as yet been han ded down by the Supreme Court ip the matter of the Fanners* Creditors. Arrangement Act, but we should have a report within the next two or three weeks. The members of the present Gov ernment are more or less. indepen dent in their views, but it is my opinion -that the —American Trade, Treaty- will carry with as large maj ority. __There is a movement afoot among ^eme^of.^he^rural^members^tOn.inves- tigate the reasons for the increase ;n the price of farm implements T^^^WFCariff^bK^same was lowered jinder the trade agreements. This should be a worthwhile inquiry. <)ttawa, February .29, 1936. j On Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. Ezek- ial Phillips quietly observed their forty-first wedding anniversary at their home at Auburn.

Scott of Ontario has done valuable service in' drawing attention to. the terrible, iangers of the careless handling of gasoline. He points out that “one gallon of gasoline will make as big in -explosion as $6 lbs. of dynamite.’V Where there are gasoline fumes even the throwing of an electric switch :’s often enopgh to cause a terrifiic explosion. Gasoline for cleaning pur7 noses has become so common that neople using it often become care- ’ess, and do not realize the great neril-which surrounds them. Gasolitie xhoiild never be used .indoors if pos sible. The cleaning of gloves and >ther articles ' of wearing ■ apparel should. always be done out-doors or beside an open window*. Since; the recent catrastophe near London, when a whole family of children burned to death, more thought is joeing given the dangers >f gasoline, dr rather the fumes, for it is they that create the redl haz ard. In that London district farm home one of the children brought a iar of gasoline into the warm house /rom a outside zero temperature. The sudden change of temperature shattered the container an^ a few moments later, the fumes, not the '*as, became ignited causing a ter- riffic explosion, followed by a raging fire. ’ The publisher recently had an ex perience that forcefully impressed f.he effect of a sudden change of temperature on gasoline. A party, carrying a corked %-gal. - bottle of gasoline, came Mhfb the warm office out of a zero temperature and set the jar on the dfesjc near the front window, through which the rays of a bright sun that was shining. In a moment “pop”, ^nd the cork from the bottle was blown half way to the ceiling*. Yes, Sve took a .sniff of the fluid* and it was gasoline, nothing else. Wednesday for a vacation * in Flor-' da.
