The new member should join the discussions at the party caucus and committee meetings. Here is his real opportunity for improving his per- formance, The competent man in the House of Commons is the one who knows the facts on both sides of our economic problems. When he does he is able to answer any question which arisese— he is master of his subject, the proud possessor of a probing mind. Parlia- ment lacks penetrating power.

The constituencies send to the House ofoCommons many members who are almost whooly without qualification for the job. They are selected as can- didates by a constituency which, in reality, knows little of the tasks of an M.P. That they succeed in finding a good many fairly competent men for the purpose is one of the enigmas of political life. The selection may be based on per- sonal friendship. To use the familiar phrase: "He is a good head." But it is safe to say that in many cases he hasn't the slightest idea of the work which lies before a new M. P. For a time at least he marches up a blind alley. The candidate may be a good business man, a competent farmer, a professional man but the chances are that he has never studied political and economic problems. He has a great deal to learn before he becomes a good M. P. In some cases he may be too old to begin a new and diffi- cult way of life. The task of selecting candidates for the House of Commons is difficult. It Is easy to criticize but is there a better way of selecting candidates? If there is I haven't heard of it, If the constituencies fail in the task par- liament takes hold of the raw mater- ial and, in time, turns out a finished product. The new members are not widely read, at least on political and economic problems. They know little of the sources of information. To ask them to study a simple economic pro- blem and whip the facts into a ten or fifteen minute speech would pre- sent to them a very difficult task. They have only a scant knowledge of the facts, they know little of the sour- ces of information. Home Sewing With Nylon Canadian women who prefer to sew their own clothes will find new nylon fabrics in striking plain colors and printed designs available for spring, according to a survey made among textile manufacturers. Yard good counters will carry nylon sheers and lightweight twills for cool summer dresses, 'There will be high- fashion polka dots, gay stripes, small gold-printed designs and intriguing novelty fabrics in prints and weaves. Puckered _fabrics will also be obtain- able in a greater variety of colors and textures. This year tor the first time stores will be carrying permanently-pleated tricot for home sewers who make their own lingerie. Plain tricot in both 15 denier and the heavier 30 denier will also be featured. For bridal gowns and formal wear there will be filmy nylon net and heavy nylon marquisette for home- sewn crinolines, This latter materiel . is impregnated with a stiffening that lasts through several washings. Due to nylon's strength, sharp scis- sors, pins and sewing machine needles are required in home-sewing with ny- lon. Tension on both needle and bob- bin should be loose to prevent pucker- ing. Longer stitches than used with other fabrics will get better results. Because nylon clothing is so easily laundered, it is important to sew seams that will not'fray when washed, Raw edges, therefore, should never be left on woven nylon. French or felled seams will prevent this or edges can be overcast by hand. Pinking raw edges is a suitable finish only for bias cut seams. 500 Ft. of Pier To Cost $100,000 The first shipments of steel arrived Kathleen Ruth Forster, daughter of Mr, and Mrs: Wm.

P. has mas- tered his information he will be able to take his place in the discussion of public uses. There is another fact of vital im- portance. The new M. P's. are not likely to be competent speakers. The main barriers to good speaking may be as follows: 1. Lack of knowledge. The new member has had little opportunities for direct and concentrated study. He should avail himself of every opportunity for practice even if it involves going out to a field and under the supervision of Donald Par- talking to the birds.
