NO PLANS READY
FOR PO PROJECT
Department of Public Works in an
answer tabled in the Commons for
Andrew Robinson, Conservative mem
ber for Bruce, said plans not yet had
been prepared for the construction of
a new post office building at Tees
water.
The official return said no work
had been done on the site thus far.
A week or two ago it was reported
that while a site has been acquired at
Teeswater, no work was contemplat
ed on the project this year and that
in any event there was no money in
the estimates for a start on construc
tion this year. The Teeswater building
was “in mind," however, and there
might be provision in next year’s esti
mates for it.

As I have intimated in previous re
ports from Parliament Hill, there are
certain things happening in and
around the Nation’s Capital here
which are .quite interesting and are
apart from the regular business of
the House of Commons. Probably one
of the reasons that there is more of
interest in the spring outside of the
House, is the fact that the month of
May is one of the nicest times to be
here. The tulips, which are a living
monument of the esteem and appreci
ation of Queen Julianna for the con
sideration and refuge given to her,
and her family during the Second
World War, when her country was
overrun by the Nazis, are at their best.
The parks and driveways are magnifi
cent with their millions of blooms and
the wonderful arrangements that have
been set out. I would suggest that if
any of you are planning a visit to Ot
tawa during the year, come during
the month of May if at all possible,
when this wonderful spring flower
spectacle will repay you.
Adventure in Citizenship during these
three days will be an outstanding
event in her life.
The Budget Debate finally closed
last week after many days of debate
which ranged over almost every sub
ject possible. It wa§ quite interesting
to see Opposition Leader George Drew
get back into form and he certainly
was in wonderful form during his
speech on the Dominion-Provincial
agenda meeting of recent date. He
launched his attack with all the vig
our and force that has marked, his
careex’ as Leader of Her Majesty’s
Loyal Opposition. He had cabinet
ministers on their feet right from the
outset of the speech, particularly the
Minister of Health and Welfare, Mr.
Martin, and the Minister of Justice,
Mr. Garson. Both of these Ministers,
for years have endeavoured to make
Mr. Drew the scapegoat for the fail
ure of the ’45 Dominion-Provincial
Conference.
The Canadian backbenchers coming
to the support of the Ministers who
were under ^tUck, to their usual
manner filled the Chamber with hoots
and howls of derisive laughter. It was
net long, however, before the Opposi
tion Leadei* had them sitting in re
spectful silence as he laid the facts
of the situation before the House,
Documentary evidence was placed on
the record proving that instead of
scuttling the Conference Mr, Drew
had been its initiator. In a letter
written to the late Mr. Mackenzie
King in 1944, Mr. Drew had suggested
the calling together of a Conference
of Provincial Premiers to dismiss
post-war rehabilitation and develop
ment. Mr. King had replied warmly
accepting the idea, indicating that
he was passing Mr. Drew’s suggestion
on to all the Provincial Premiers.

It was my privilege last week along
with several other Western Ontario
Members, to entertain an outstanding
junior farmer in the person of Jim
Connell from Minto Township, who
had won the seed judging competition
at the recent Wellington County Seed
Fair. For this two-day visit we had
arranged a fine program, including a
tour of the Parliament Buildings, the
National Gallery and the Supreme
Courtj a visit to the Experimental
Farm, the Borden Farm and Frank
Ryan’s Farm, the latter being head of
a local radio station. There was a
drive around Ottawa to see the lovely
parks and driveways, and on Tuesday
afternoon a visit was made to Rock-
liffe Airport, where they were shown
the meteorlogical division, many of
the new types of planes and then were
given a half hour flight over Ottawa.
This was such a successful venture
that I hope we can make it an annual
award for young Canadians rather
than the presentation of cups and
trophies. I think it is a pleasant edu
cational feature that will live on in
the hearts and minds of the young
people participating.

It’s a good thing young Ted is only joking.
If his Dad took him up on that offer, Ted would soon find'
himself floundering in a sea of facts about family income
management, succession duties, taxes, wills, trusts, business-
insurance and other related subjects!
You see, Ted’s father is a typical life underwriter — a man'
who has not only been trained for his job, but keeps up-to-
date by constant study. For the uses of life insurance are
more extensive today than they used to be. And the men
who represent companies in this business now advise you
with increased skill.
Doing this calls for more than study. It takes real under
standing of people’s needs. And since each family's needs are.
different, the company representative offers valuable guidance--
in making plans to* fit these needs — individually.
All in all,, the life insurance man you deal with today is a-
very good man to know. And' his progress is another reflection
of the many ways in which the'life insurance business has
developed 'with the times to meet your changing needs!

Saving Labor
In Chore Routine
A saving of 256 hours of labor and
42 miles of walking in a year, resulted
from changes in chore routine on a
dairy farm at a cost of less than ten
dollars. This new routine saved almost
one month a year in chore time, re
ports the Economics Division, Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, after a
study of labor costs on over 1,000 Ont
ario dairy farms.
In 1949 the owner of this dairy farm
became a member of the Dairy .Herd
Improvement Association of Ontario.
Shortly after receiving some literature
on the time and motion technique of
studying dairy barn chores he decided
to enlist the help of a friend who was
in sympathy with his aims. While the
farmer went about his tasks in the
usual manner his friend recorded the
time required for all jobs performed
and the distance travelled.
On analyzing the results, it was re
vealed that the operator required only
6% minutes and 354 steps per cow per
day to do the summer chores. A simi
lar study during the winter months
showed that 14% minutes and 636
steps were needed per cow per day to
do the chores. The farmer was not
satisfied, so with a very few minor
alterations at little expense, increased
his labor efficiency to the extent
mentioned, and still maintained the
high quality of milk that had always
been produced.
Changes in chore routine such as
those tried by this dairy farmer can
be made on any farm. Usually it re
quires only a questioning attitude
towards every part of the routine and
recognition of the need for a change.
For further information on this sub
ject write to the Information Service,
Canada Department of Agriculture in
Ottawa and request Publication 918—
Labor Analysis of Dairy Barn Chores.
Fine Weather Has
Aided Seeding
Fine weather which prevailed dur
ing the week enabled farmers in the
county to complete the seeding of
spring grains, reports G. W. Mont
gomery, agricultural representative.
Many farmers are busy preparing the
land for corn, sugar beets, turnips
and white beans. With the completion
of the second spray for warble fly
control in some sections of the town
ships, many of the cattle went to grass
this week. Fruit blossoms and growth
of fall wheat, pasture and hay fields
are two or three weeks earlier than
last year,
