TV HAPPENED
THE EDITOR of the 'Martell weekly
paper asks ` the "question 's What'e : going on
around here?" and then goes on to explain
that something is' happening to that town,
"In a sneaky sort of, way and we don't
like it. It's nothing' you can quite put your
finger on, but it's :: there.,, The people
seem to be losing some of their zest, enthus-
iasm, and curiosity."
Well, we'd like to make the observation
that just the same thing is happening in
Clinton; but we like to think that we have
discovered' the culpsrit. It's not that the
people of our town have lost their .zest •-
they've just changed its :direction.. They've
not lost their enthusiasm—they've just trans-
planted it. They've not lost their curiosity,
., they've just broadened it.
TV has happened to: Clinton.
It's been with ; us for over a year now
and has just become- the most popular topic
of conservation next to the weather.
As a result the drop in attendance I at
hockey games this winter has been very
noticeable. Even the folk who areresponsible
for the financial' prosperity of the arena—and
their families find it much more pleasant to
sit indoors' and watch the ever-changing TV
screen.
But it won't last. We predict that within
another year, the novelty of the thing will
have worn off—and then the interests, enthus-
iasms and curiosities of Clinton people will
„' return again to the local scene. The human
desire for doing, something themselves, and.
of actively getting into an activity will be the
Clinton Junior Farriers are already show
ing this—as they come up with a winning orie-
nt play. A lot of work went into this pro-
duction; which certainly did not mean the
spectator sport of watching the TV. `
Not Legislation
'YOU DON'T decide how long you, want
to work in a week; you decide how much in
groceries and clothes you want to take home
at the end of the week. You get paid out of
what you prodiece after the .costs of helping o
you produce It are pale,- taxes, machines,
supervision. Therefore the more you produce,
the more you can be paid, and so the more
things you can. buy. .Or, put it another way—
the things you want for your family decide
how much you work When some one tells
you to cut your work week and demand the

to ruin jobs. The answer to today's problem
isn't legislation, it's work :work so efficient

The Throne Speech Debate
Described By Tom Pryd.e
Mention was made last week, of It should be mentioned that in
the Speech from the Throne, made this debate the member is not
by the Lieutenant -Governor, i limited to a particular subject, but
outlines the Government program
for the Session. This is replied to
in a. rather interesting manner. '.A.
private member (this year Mr.
Letherby., Simcoe East) was de-
tailed to present the following
motion:
"Mr, Speaker-, I .beg leave to
move, •seconded by Mr. Lavergne
(Russell) that a humble address
be presented to the Honourable
the Lieutenant -Governor as fol-
lows:
• To the Honourable•Louis Orville
Breithaupt, Lieutenant -Governor
of the Province of Ontario: ,.
We, Her Majesty's most dutiful
and loyal subjects of the Legislae
tive Assembly of the Province of
Ontario, now assembled, beg leave
to thank Your Honour for the
gracious speech Your Honour has
addressed to us."
After the motion Bad 'been read
by the Speaker of the House, the
member then commences his ad-
dress, followed_ by_ the seconder of
the. motion.. .
The Leader of the Opposition is
next in order, followed by the
Leader of the Government. Mr.
Farquhar Oliveraand the Premier
• both spoke on Tuesday, February
15.cate the order of speakers, and

can speak on Any matter• he so
desires..
speeches of the private
members also give ail members a
broad outlook ,on' the diversity of
economic problems which exist in
the 90 ridings comprising the
Province of Ontario. It must' be
remembered that the Province of
Ontario extends approximately
one thousand miles from north to
south and one thousand miles
from east to west. In size it is
equal to nine states in the United
States, including New York,
Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin. It has also
been estimated that in the Pro-
vince of 'Ontario there are 20
thousand different: ways of making
a living.
Froin this it will be readily seen
that each member of the Legisla-
ture has an opportunity to be-
come acquainted with the geo-
grgphy, the economy and the di-
versity in living and economic
conditions which exist in the Pro-
vince.. This knowledge enables him
to deal intelligently with legisla-
tion as it comes forward, no mat-
ter which department of govern-
ment or area of the province it
concerns.
The Whips , of the two major
parties arrange lists which indi-
58 Cent Floor Price
On Batter Is
Defended Strongly
There has been a. lot of discus-
nidi lately about butter floor
prices, which farmers maintain
must be continued at the present
level for the sake of the national
economy.
The 58 -cent floor, in the minds
of certain groups, is considered to
be too high. Not so, say officials
of the Ontario Cream Producers'
Marketing Board, who have been
diggingup some figures on the
subject.
year, in Ontario, the but-
terfatproduction of Ontario's
cream producers ran to some 60,-
000,000 pounds, which, with 60,000
members of the cream producers'
organization, -means a production
of 1,000 pounds per farmer `in-
volved.
Most of these farmers do riot
depend entirely on cream produc-
tion for their entire livelihood, and
for them it's a good thing. The
58 -cent price support would mean,
from the figures quoted by the
board, an average income for the
members of $580 to $600 a year.
And that does not take into ac-
count the cost of producing the
cream, which whittles the profit
down to a scarcely noticeable fig-
ure,
But here's the point put forward
by the board: a reduction of three
cents per pound, for example, could
mean a drop of $30, on the aver-
age, in the producer's income. This
coujd easily mean a decision -NOT
to buy some manufactured item
for instance a new tire, a pair of
shoes, or various other articles
that could, taken across the board,
cut into a city worker's income,
niett, at the : conclusion of his
speech, will also move' an amend-
f3ent.
There will be no, vote taken, on
-these. (natters until all the mem-
bers .who desire- to do so have
spoken, which will "likely be in
about another two weeks. -
Intmediately after the conclu-
sion of the Throne Speech debate,
the budget is introduced by the
Provincial Ts-easu?er, • giving ;the
details of anticipated revenue 'and
expenditures for the: fiscal year
ending March 31, 1950. This q ens
the budget debate, and the debate
follgws the same procedure as the
Throne Speech debate, with most
of the members taking part.

A
suddenly becomes ,an'extra special Sunday!'
Whether the call comes from Miles away or just
around the corner, the invitation seems so
much more,personal, more iuvithig, when you.
hear it over the telephone.
Old aridyoung alike turn to the phone when
they're in a hurry. A round -up of the gang,
a family reunion, a holiday dinner, a big date —
it's faster, more exciting to telephone!
And even the blow of bad news can usually
be softened by a sympathetic voice. Next to
seeing the people you care about is !rearing
their warm, familiar voices.
THE -BELL TELEPHONE
COMPANY OF CANADA '
WORLD OF THE }CANCER CELL...
And How Canadian Scientists Learned'
To Look Into It
(By EON esENYON, Telegram 'Science Reporter)
(This is the fourth of a
series of five articles).
In science there are many pe-
culiar projects' but one of the
strangest that paid off was the
endeavour of Dr. E. F. Burton of
the University of Toronto, who
made one of; the greatest contri-
butions to the study of infinitely
tiny -objects.
His research was so odd that in
a book he later wrote he Likened
is to, that of a scientist in Gulliv-
er's Travels who worked ."eight
years upon a project for extract-
ing sunbeams" out of cucumbers."
I" myself,", said ‘Dr. Burton,
now dead, "worked eight years to
take magnified pictures without
light."
He invented the first effective
electron microscope; one of the
greatest discoveries of the cent-
ury. vitally affecting research in
cancer, polio and, indeed,•all fields
involving the very tiny. ,
The electron microscope does
not need light at all. A, beam of
electrons (the tiny particles which
surround the atom's nucleus) is
shot through the material to be
photographed, and is focussed by
a magnetic field. The microscope,
having no need of glass lenses or
similar relatively crude materials,
can be used for extraordinarily
high magnification.
Some of the world's best elect-
ron microscope, pictures are still
,being made at -the University of
Toronto, with magnification up to
100,000 times. They show in de-
tail the moving., parts inside cells.
So exacting is electron micro-
scope work that ; the tiny bits of
matter to be studied cannot be
seen with the naked eye, They
have to be positioned for the
electron microscope by watching
them through an ordinary light
microscope.
Though the electron microscope
was invented in the 1940's it was
of limited use for ten years be-
cause electrons' can only pass
through very thin layers of mater-
ial and no satisfactory way could
be found to slice the tissue thin
enough for them.
During thee. last few years the
microscope has come fully into its
own with a new slicing method
devised by Dr, Keith Porter (a
former Canadian) and Dr. George
Palade of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute. They found out how to slice
material one -millionth of an inch
thick. •
Now, at last, science has a way,
of seeing the inside of cells, where
the. answer 'to the , cancer riddle
lies,
Thanks to another Canadia?n
there it a simple, effective way of -
taking cells to pieces and gather-
ing together the constituent parts.
This also was a major , step in
cancer research and, is used for
studies' the world over.
The researcher was Dr. R. R,
Bensley (known to his intimates
as "Rail -Road"), now quite elder-
ly, who developed the : differential
centrifuge for eell study.
Cell Separator
He borrowed the idea from that
of the cream- separator. The cells
are smashed- up and then whirled
around so that at varying speeds
different particles fly off, It's as
though people of varying weights
sat astride horses in a merry -go -
Tema, and then the motor went
crazy, whirling' them at increasing
speed. At a certain' speed a.person
of one weight would fly off, then
another, and so on.. .
Dr. Bensley showed it was
mathematically possible to predict
which parts of the cell would fly
off at any gi')en speed. And in
this way he showed science how to
gather together units of the cell
and study them separately -
Incidentally, though Dr. Bensley:
left Canada, he still maintains a
residence at Go 'Home Bay, north
of ,Midland.
Though these two discoveries
were of vital significance in can-
eertudies—
s o matter n who event-
ually solves the problem—they re-
ceived less than the credit due
them from the nublie at large ,. .

Successes Mounting
Successes in cancer treatment
are already mounting. Cancer in
accessible sites is usually cured
especially, for instance,.skiri can-
cer. Deep-seated cancer still has
a high mortality„rate, partly be-
cause .of the difficulty in identify-
ing it soon enough.
Although everyone realizes that
immense research goes into a
hoped -•tor cancer cure, not every-
one is aware of the amount of
research dedicated to finding a
quick, certain test forcancer in
any part of the body. Until it is
found, cancer deep inside the body
will continue to grow until it is
incurable before people realize it
is there. -
But even here there is hope. A
week or so ago' an -American re-
searcher said that shadows on lung
X-rays show'isp years before cane
Per occurs. He recommended tak-
ing action when a shadow is pres-
ent instead of waiting for the
cancer to develop.
Every success against cancer is
hard-won. But the successes are
there, apd they are slowly mount-
ing. , Every year more people are
saying: "I had cancer, but l'm
well again now.”
