ALTHOUGH we have been
enjoying winter in its full fury
and glory these past few weeks,
there is something about late
February and early March that
makes women think of spring
housecleaning , Whether it is
the: odd clay of brilliant sun-
shine which shows up the grime
and dirt of winter, or whether
it's just the urge 'to aid spring
on its way, we found our's'elves
full of energy this these past few
weeks to do something—in spite
of fighting a cold all the time ..
And we know we are not the
only one Much to our sur-
prise we find it the common urge
of. most housekeepers to get that
annual cleaning spree over with
early and thus be able to enjoy
the nice weather when. it comes..
a a
OUR HOUSECLEANING activ-
ities to date have been getting
the old paint pots out of the
cellar, along with brushes, lad-
der, etc., and painting the kitchen
wafts'and furniture and cleaning
cupboards ... We still have the

WE HEAR so much every cry sea-
son about Women's fashions\ and
what the top designers have
decreed that milady shall wear,
but for over a hundred years
now, the poor male of the species
has had none of the.spice in liv-
ing that versatility in fashion can
give . . Except for gaiety in"
neckties ar in sport shirts and
jackets,' he has' had a dull time
with taeditiopal gabardines, wor-
steds, etc. .
BUT it's going to be different,
There are big changes ahead
on the male fashion front ,
Come summer, 1951, • if all goes
well, men will be able to have
an all -nylon wardrobe — every-
thing from top to toe: hat, suit,
tie, shirt, undervest, shorts, socks
and shoes .:. A pre -view of this
ensemble is being shown this
week at annual men's wear ap-
parel fair in Toronto (Notice:
not a fashion show!) Inter-
esting too, is the fact that suit-
ings are going to be lighter' in
weight and brighter in colour,

GOLDING URGES
EFFORT TO FIND
NEW MARKETS
Senator William H. Golding
counseled Canadian agriculture to
'forget recriminations — and get
down to the task of finding new
markets.
Accorded the honor of moving
the address in reply to the Throne
Speech, in the Senate, the West-
ern Ontario senator said ,,no use-
ful purpose could be served now
by wasting time on fault-finding,
on complaining and on blaming.
He was optimistic enough, he
said, to believe that outlets could
be found for the products of
Canadian farms and forests and
fisheries. Patience was needed
while a thorough canvass of the
trade situation was made.
Everything possible must be
done by the Government to main-
tain the prosperity of agridulture
which was. basic in the national
scheme of things. If agriculture
were prosperous, then all other
lines of industry prospered. On
the other hand, falling farm
prices easily might start a re-
cession with all its far-flung 111-
effeets.
It was of special importance
that markets be found for Oen-
ada's surplus products. Canadian
agriculture,now was equipped to
produce tremendous quantities of r
high quality foodstuff,, In the
past three years, Canadian far-
mers had purchased machinery
and equipment worth more than
$504,000,000. This compared with
$45,000,000 for the previous nine
years. It was essential to the
whole national economy that
I products be marketed at a
price that would give a reason-
able profit to producers. -

THE VOICE OF

Mr. D. P. ()Hearn, writing
in Saturday Night, claims that
"conditions have improved"
since the Ontario Government
opened a variety of liquor out-
lets five years ago. Everyone
will wish that Mr. O'liearn had
told us about these improved
conditions. Because of an en-
ormously increased consump-
tion of alcoholic beverages our
conclusion had been that con-
ditions were worsening not
improving in Ontario. O u r
conclusion still is that with
