Last year, for instance, 295 peo­ ple were killed on our highways in thfr three-month period; while at the same time 25$ perished in our lakes and rivers through drowning accidents.’’ “The greatest danger lies in the 16 to 25 years age group, where, perhaps, sbme seerii to unconsciously take chances or overestimate their powers as swimmers.” The health minister said that panic is possibly the most important single factor in these holiday water tragedies. He em­ phasized the importance of keep­ ing a “cool head” in all such mishaps. - > Dr. Phillips listed these sim­ ple rules for water safety: 1. If you can!t. swim stay away from deep water and out of canoes. 2. Never-go swimming alone. 3. Never enter the water direct­ly after a meal. Stomach cramps may be caused by swimming too soon after eating. Allow at least one hour after, meals before taking that dip.* I. Float on your back if you get a cramp in your leg or foot, and, on reaching shore, rub the affected ‘ part vigorously. Above all, keep calm. Summer Furniture* By L. E. CARDIFF (Climax of the pipeline de­ bate, one of the hottest is­ sues ever to hit the House of Commons, was graphically described by Huron MP El­ ston Cardiff in a recent radio address. Partial text of his talk is reproduced here.) What happened on the last Friday of that debate, will live long in the memories of every member of 4116 House of Com­ mons regardless of where they sat, Never in my- sixteen years as a member have I witnessed any­ thing comparable to what took place on that Black Friday as it is now commonly called around Ottawa. Never in the history of Canada has any speaker of the -House of Commons had his pride more effectively daunted than did Speaker Beaudoin, because Bea­ udoin was a very proud man, and had -reason to be. He was considered to be the best Speaker that had ever graced the chair. He held the respect of all Mem­ bers of the House up until Black Friday. What happened in the House of Commons on Friday may have been inadvertent; it may have been deserved-—but it was not in the manner of democracy, and it sickened every thoughtful ob­ server who witnessed it. Rights In Jeopardy Whether you are for the pipe­ line or against it; whether you vote Liberal or Conservative, it makes little difference. As a Canadian, as ka believer in par­ liamentary institutions, you could not have been in that Chamber 'without a feeling of profound, regret, for you were witnessing not only the irrespon­ sibility of a sorely tried Oppo­ sition, not only the indecent, haste of a thoughtless govern­ ment, you were witnessing the axe flailing at the.roof of human rights with fear wrapped around you as you watched. On Thursday the Speaker had ruled honestly. What happened over night no-one will ever know, but the one thing we are sure of. From the opening Friday morning, the speaker behaved like a man under 'the gun, First he disposed of Colin Cameron’s motion to , censure two bitter \ newspaper letters, though'he himself had advised the C.C.F. Member to move cen­ sure the night before. Then Mr. Beaudoin decided no censure motion was allowable. These so- called red-hot letters were “only fair and reasonable comment” with a dozen members on their feet crying to be heard. He rang the bell and forced the vote. Then what happened? Eliminates Record The speaker in carefully mem­ orized phrases proposed that all Thursday night’s proceedings be wiped out completely, and asked the House to go back where it- was at 5.15 p.m. on Thursday. Why? Because he himself had made a serious mistake in every­ thing he. had done after that hour. .The house was thunder­ struck. It; i. as an impossible po- "sition. The.speaker-wavered, but Finance Minister Harris, alarm­ ed at the speaker’s floundering, admonished him to get on with it. In effect he said “stiffen your back” and the speaker stiffened and obeyed. The opposition howled as though in physical pain. Back seat Liberals, to drown the cries, raised their voices in song.. The Prime Minister shot a look of obvious distaste at his fol­ lowers but, regardless they went recklessly on w'ith their weird hollow-sounding incantations. ‘ Lunch intervened, then white­ faced but still determined, the Speaker moved the next vote. The opposition could restrain it­ self no longer. Coldwell, shaking his fist adva" ced on the Speaker. Mr. Drew, along with several lories, crowded with him. up to the mace. ; spectator wept. Beyond Description The scene was beyond des­ cription. B’eaudoin Sat upright on' his throne, white as the papers on his knees, buttoning and unhqttonlng his vest to con­ trol his trembling hands. The Prime Minister with shoulders hunched and eyes downpast, toyed with his-fountain pen. The Minister of Trade and Com­ merce, who was the cause of all the disturbance, bit his thumbnail for a while, then read Time Magazine. Pickersgill, the babbler of the Liberal party seemed the only one enjoying the episode/ The note passing that had been going on for days reached a fever pitch. Harris enlisted elderly Dr. McCann as his messenger boy, but the note he sent the, Chair­ man was spotted , by. Drew And the Chairman pocketed it,’ unread, On the next exchange they manr aged better, App.elwhaite slipped, his note to a page boy iignafied Harris who, in turn, went out in the lobby to receive it. Such liaison- of course, has no place in a proper Parliament, and neither did. very much pise that took place. . , ? It-was-unfair to say the -least. It was unconstitutional. When the rule book got in the Govern­ ment's way they threw it away. Let the House decide, which, meant let the Government de­ cide, The rules whose "purpose is to protect the rights of.Parlia­ ment itself, ceased- io exist!1 AH’ through the pipeline debate- the galleries were . full" to over­ flowing both night and' .day,, even in to the small hour's , of ; the morning, regardless of the loss of sleep they didn’t. want to miss a thing.

MILK I THEY ARE ^mistaken who think an wages automatically helps farmers. \ • increase in city The farmer’s selling price for milk city is the same whether the ultimate consumer is a schoolboy who pays 8 cents for a glass, or whether he is a prosperous senior in. a luxury restaurant topping off a lunch with a glass of milk for which he is charged 20 cents or more. If a city wage earner is now getting enough cash to buy all the milk or other food he and his family can or will eat, a further boost in pay will not per­ suade people to eat more farm products. Most city workers not only,have enough for basic needs but also today they possess What only 50 years 'ago would have been luxuries only to be dreamed about. It is because Canadians are so fortunate in their high standard- of living that wage increases in cities do not really help farmers, In fact, a boost in wages will send up prices of things farmers buy unless production costs per man are kept down in other ways.
