' The effect- of tariff reductions on the estahllsh,rrlent of a sugar beet industry In Southwestern Ontario was the matter of iin e debate again February 2:3 in the.House of Commons. - In Hansard Of that --date it ,is • noted that, R.E. McKinley, M.P. for Huron, directed a question to E.F. Whelan, Minister of Agriculture, on the matter. "In his speech last night the minister assured us that he had received cabinet approval to use the stabilization ct to give assistance to the. sugar beet grower -s in Canada should it be -- necessary because of the tariff reductions." "Can the minister advise whether 'the tariff redut tions will wipe out any chance of a sugar beet industry in south- western Ontario, or does he have. cabinet. approval for assistance to establish such an industry:'" Mr. McKinley asked. In reply Mr. Whelan said that as far as he was c oncerned "it. (Kies not wipe. out the op- portunity of establishing a sugarheet industry in south- western Ontario."' Before hei•ng called to order by the speaker Mr. McKinley noted that "II looks very much like the Minister of Agriculture has been scuttled by the cabinet the same as the former minister." W. J.

'Phis is the pic- ture many people- have of an alcoholic. Please tell them that there are millions of alcoholics who work every day, have no violent temper outbursts and are well liked by everyone. My husband is one of them. He rejected A.A., laughed off any suggestion that he needed counseling and pointed to his Horkand iroductivity record, which is veru good.
