Terrific insulin shocks which plunge. *e meAfai patient into deep coma are giving new promise of life to hundreds of schizophren- ics at Arkansas' new state hos- pital for nervo-s diseases. Dr. N. E. Hollis, staff psychiatrist at the institution, said at least 50 per cent. of the schizoids treated with insulin were showing improvement. Schizophrenics—the name means "split-personality"—make up more than 75 per cent. of the population of nervous institutions in the Unit- ed nited States, Dr. Hollis said. The disease briefly, totally incapaci- tates the patient by making him in- capable of connected thought, "Insulin shock treatments are only a few years old, and operate on the theory that complete re- laxation is healing to shattered minds." • Might Drop Back To Peasant Level Western Farmers Must Have Help, Premier Bracken Of Manitoba Declares Western agriculture would, drop ;r, the level of peasantry ff Canada did not regain her lost markets for ghee...

Parliamentary Doings With ®ntarlo's i Le slators. Spring. 19S' :IY REDT • No mistaking it . . . Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn usually gets what he wants. Despite all the controversy, vituperation, and threatened strike of motorists, and a Conservative *filibuster (lovely word!) against the proposed amendment to the Gasoline Tax Act, Ontario now finds itself pay- ing eight cents tax on every imper- ial gallon of gas, two cents more. Yes, he got what he wanted last week in the Legislature, including a vote of confidence (00-22) ... . and then the Budget was brought down . . - , and all the M.P.P.'s went home and had an Easter re- cess, r 0-- The Budget: Ontario fiuished the fiscal year with a surplus of $236,088, Surplus in the previous year was $4,609,718.. , . The Prov- ince spent $35,000,000 on highways construction and this -item of capi- tal expenditure helped raise the gross debt by $37,500,000—(revenue from gasoline tax and other sources during the past year amounted to about $27,000,000, $8,000,000 of which was spent on highway main- tenance, the rest absorbed through other channels; so that the $35,- 000,000 used for new highways had to be freshly borrowed) Suc- cession duty collections for 1933.89 reached an estimated $15,000,000 or 3,000,000 below what the Prem- ier had budgeted for.

The Premier announces that not less than $2,000,000 will be used next year in treating tuberculosis pa- tients throughout Ontario with the object of "completely eradicating this scourge from our province" It has recently been said that if the proper measures were taken, there would be no trace of the "white plague" left in Ontario inside a dozen years.. . A new children's unit at the On- tario Hospital, Woodstock, will be built; a new fireproof building at the School for the Blind, Brant- ford; a community hall at Rondeau Park. A cut of $25,000 in the grant to the University of Western Ontario has roused the ire of the students there who have been demonstrat- ing valiantly against the reduction which may mean a cruel curtail- ment of educational activities there .... the University of To- ronto suffers similarly, its special grant nicked a cool ammo.... —o— In lighter veiny Speaker CIaTX has ruled that M.P.P.'s may no longer spend their R'ing's Printer sessional allowance of $25 on any- thing but stationery and leather goods (in which the King's Print- er's rinter's office deals) ....

Radio Licence Fee Unchanged Continuation ofe the present licence fee of $2.50 on radio re- ceiving sets was endorsed by the Parliamentary radio broadcasting committee last week on a motioxt by J. G. Ross (Lib., Moose Jaw). Ile said evidence of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation officers as to the curtailment of CBC ser- vice "that must result from any reduction in revenue," had been heard and should be adopted by the committee as a warning what would happen to CDC if the fees were reduced. Tho motion was carried by a vote of 9 - 3, and a second motion hY Mr, Ross, that the main motion be sent to the House as an interim report, was carried without recor - , ed vote, NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER ONTARIO'S GAME BIRD RESTORATION POLICY PAYS A DIVIDEND Has Ontario found the ans- wer to its game bird problem? While other provinces, with the exception of British Columbia, are forced to cut game bird shooting down to short open seasons on indigenous birds, populous Ontario, where indus- trial and municipal develop- ment have probably reduced na- tive wildlife more than else- where, has started to enjoy open seasons on exotic varie- ties of bird life raised in cap- tivity. Last year no fewer than 50 Ontario Townships, in addition to the counties of Essex, Kent and Pelee Island, permitted short seasons of pheasant shoot- ing. For this extra hunting— extra, for Ontario enjoys.ap- proxirnateiy the same seasons on indigenous birds as other , provinces'=—sportsmen spent be-` tween $75,000 and. $100,000, of 'which $20,000 went into licen- ces. Approximately 35,000 birds were._bagged during the season. Shooting a Paying Basis Ontario's success in putting shooting on a paying basis may be put down to simple factors; first, recognition of the need of restoration rather than conserv- ation; second, the encourage- ment of private and commercial breeding. • Unlike British Co- lumbia, where pheasant eggs are distributed free of charge to farmers and sportsmen's or- ganizations who hatch the birds and release them when ready, receiving a sum from the Gov- ernment for each matured bird, Ontario now does most of the game propagating on its own gambal- ance efarms, licensed game breeders. Until quite recently, though, the Department of Game and Fisheries supplemented its own breeding efforts and those of commercial farms by distribut- ing pheasant eggs among farm- ers and sportsmen, wlio, al- though under no obligation to release the birds when matured, usually did so. The Department now operates two pheasantries, one at Normandie and the oth- er at Codrington. In addition to the two Gov- ernment operated game farms, there aro 62 licensed breeding establishments in Ontario, four of them being of considerable VOICE OF THE PRESS TO GET THEIR MAN Aniericans seems to think that all a Mountie needs is a good bari- tone voice and a horse, --.Quebec Chronicle -Telegraph.

'SOMETHING FOR NOTHING Twenty Canadian cities and towns ,are reported to have spent a total of $2,000,000 to remove size. One of the largest, the Watson Chick Hatchery at Or- angeville, produced 2,000 birds during 1938 and has plans for 10,000 in 1939. Mr. A. IL C.
