Deaehnuvn, ex -MP for North Huron) Soon the people of every con- .etitueney in Canada will have. chosen the men they hope to elect as their representatives hi the. House of Conunons. There are "ninny different types in the field. ready to offer their services. Each 'new deserve a place in the par- liament of the nation, but the man selected should be able to think and, able to speak. There is a reason for this. Many men come to the House of Com- mons without having previously given much consideration to eco- nomic and political questions. "Their capacity to become useful members depends on their ability to think. If they can think 'clearly, they can learn to speak ,clearly. They will soon be cap- able of taking a leading place :among their fellow members. There are, of course, others, too many of them, popular in their own constiltuerinins, ex- tremely likable in their personal relationships but void of economic comprehension; not fitted for the job they have to do. The country 'would be richer if they could be Cleft at home. The House of Commons is selective, good men find their mark, the others be - room ballast—they help to steady the ship in bad weather. That of course is important in Its way.' Members should be able to speak end speak clearly on issues which come before the House. A good speaker, Capable of clear thinking, will be able to make a place for himself in the House of Commons. Even when ,he fails, there is a second chance. There are may men who can think clearly but are hopelessly lack- ing in power of expression. There ere different types of speakers. One may speak well in the House of Commons, i.e. he can plan a speech, .. put it on paper and present if in the House with only brief notes to stimulate his" memory. This man may fall down in a committee where the nature of the situation is very different. In committee the situation calls. for the qualities of a good law- yer. It involves quite frequently the examination of witnesses. This does not imply that a man must necessarily be a lawyer. I. can recall many competent ex- aminations made by a farmer or business 'man. The business man fits tato the work because he has definite knowledge of his busi- ness and therefore capacity to bring out the evidence. The MP should possess the spirit of independence. He is not likely to oppose his own party on major issues, but there are other means by which he can make his purpose , clear. The caucus gives him an opportunity for free discussion. He will need to be on guard every hour of the day. The House of Commons is an ideal place for loafing. It's so easy to drift around the rooms visiting other members, doing little when there is much to be done. The essential element In the making of en MP is a wt11- ingness to work. The couet..ituency demands too much from its members but, in many cases, the correspondence involved is helpful. The Member of Parliament has to listen to the people back home, while &ac- ing the task which always con- fronts him — his duties in the House. There is with some a tendency to be too sharp in de- bate. Nothing is gained by this attitude. It does not pay to knock a man down even in an exchange of words. The mind of the think- ing MP should turn at all times to the actual facts before the House. The pian who knows the facts is master of the situation if only he has the power of logical expression. Look for these qual- ities.in choosing your MP; they ere supremely important.

The National Film Board cir- cuit came up for discussion and the directors decided to try and continue under the present set- up, A committee was named consisting of the president and vice-presidents to study the situation. The following resolution was Presented to the board of direct- ors from the Huron Presbytery Laymen's Association, The re- solution was endorsed, but some of the members wondered why only farmers were mentioned: "Whereas the practice of con- ducting farm operations on Sun- day, such as tilling the soil, har- vesting, combining, etc., is be- coming prevalent in this Pres- bytery of Huron. Be it resolved that we, the Lay Association of Huron Presbytery of the United Church of Canada, call upon all christian people throughout the Presbytery to refrain from, and not in any way countenance, such labour on the Sabbath. "Our pioneer forefathers could sow their fieldsand could cut their crops with the scythe and cradles and harvest them with- out resorting to Sunday labour.. Surely we, In this `highly mech- anized age, with all our equip- ment, could do so without dese- crating the day. "We are in imminent danger of losing the heritage of our Christ - lair Sabbath; that our forefathers have passed down to us.
