possible for the justices to re-
gain their benches.
Later still you could not pre-

that was how the Brits h Mu§r

there was Guy Fawkes, yes.
Soon after this a few beat -
nicks took up the idea privately
and before you could say "Les-
ter Pearson" they were sunning
themselves in Virginia on their
own tobacco plantations, duty
free.
But then that ugly word
"Fraud" was bandied around
and the M.P.'s were scandalized,
so much so . that both public
and private tickets were with-
drawn from sale and have re-
mained, British museum pieces
to this day, at least in England.
In other parts of the English-
speaking world the sale of tick-
ets continues, but not' openly.
Canada recently put a funny
twist to the business and netted
$35,000 from two ticket sellers;
a rather 'low form of money
making.
But be of good cheer! John
Bull, assisted by Mother Thread-
needle, has pulled the venetians

Pesticide Dangers
Revealed To Farmers
OTTAWA.—Farmers who in-
tend to use aldrin or dieldrin
on their crops this year should
check container labels carefully.
Changes have been made in
the requirements governing the
sale of these pesticides to en-
sure that residues do not turn
up in livestock produets such
as meat and milk.
Aldrin and dieldrin may not
be sold for us on any crop, in-
cluding forage, that -is• likely to,
be fed to •animals.T r1"e4 restri•c-
tion takes in,ell root crops, in-
cluding turnips. -
Aldrin and dieldrin may not
be used on .specified crops for
direct human consumption as
use as permitted does not re-
sult in- residues that would be
objectionable under the Food
and -Drugs Act. -
••Soij, -and seed treatments are
permitted where a crop is grown
•
for seed and where no part of
;he crop will be fed to animals.
Soil 'treatments are not to be
us'ed where root crops are in
rotation.
Use of aldrin and dieldrin in
fertilizers for farm use is no
longer permitted.
The Feeds Act prohibits the
sale of feed containing these
insecticides.
The agt•icultural chemical in-
dustry and provincial, extension
agencies were advised of the
new requirements, under the
Pest Control Products Act, af-
fecting aldrin and dieldrin in
August, 7965 to provide ample
time for label changes for 1966.
The United States Department
of Agriculture- recently an-
nounced similar regulation
changes. _affecting . aldrin_ and
