Radium Hounds
(Conden'sed 'frown ,Scientific American
in Reader's Digest)
Radium is a gleaming but two-edg-
ed sword in the treatment of disease.
J•f the tiniest particle disappears', it is
not only costly to replace (radium Is
worth 24,000 times its weight in pure
gold) but a1s10 becomes a menace to
the lives of those who may unwitting-
ly come in contact with its rays.
Hence scientists have inv'en'ted ingen-
ious devices to recover it.
Radium is always handled in such
minute quantities that occasional loss
is inevitable. In treating .cancer, doc-
tors rarely use more than 100 milli-
grams --about enough to cover the

Wednesday; Feb. 22
Parliament bas now rounded out
some six weeks of its session. The
time is quite considerable. On occa-
sions, 'the House and ,Senate have
made more, progress 'trhnn has been
made this year. The Toronto paper,
now attempting to make believe, that
all our problems can be solved; by
signing a Iittle 'ballot, has on one of
its Pages a blank! in Hansard to show
that ,nothing :has been done. It would
appear that it is not generally known:
that the first month of each session
is devoted entirely, to Private Mem-
bers with very little Govern'men't busi-
ness,
The House of Commons is the great-
est forum Canada has. It is here that
members have a right to express their
opinions and thews. Take that away
and you no longer have a democra.tir,
government.
This year the debate on the Address
carried on for some weeks while that
gave each Member the right t& speak
it ,did shut off a large number of pri-
vate resolutions and bills. After the
debate on the address there was then
interjected the Bren gun debate.
While one may not agree with the
Opposition in precipitnt.ins this de-
bate, certainly one woulrt fight for
their right to do so.
Sovie headlines have featured art-
icles in the Globe regarding the cost
per minute fbr the time each one
speaks. The fact of the matter is
that last -year the cost of the House
of Commons was $979,833. Spreading
that over -the year, the cost to each
Canadian citizen would -be nine cents
per capita. In other words; the writ-
er of the articles would have to lay
awake at night planning 'how to
raise onfe cent every 40 days to pay
his share of the cost of this House.
No dkmbt, his mind would be so ab-
sorbed with this problem' that he,
would forget entirely that to tray fort
his daily paper be would' have to
raise well over one hundred times
that amount in the same 'period of
time.
Actually, vyhile the cost per capita
of the Flouse of Commons is nine
cents, as average Canadian citizens,
we pay well. over $5.00 per year for
newspapers and magazines. Certain-
ly there is no co'rfi•plaint about that
from bhe Globe & Mail.
Today the debate on the Trad"
Treaty was carried on with unusual
vigor, Mr. McLean, of Prince Ed-
ward Island, led off for the. Govern-
ment, and he was followed by Mr.
Needham fS.C,), T. L. Church ('Cions.)
Ralph Maybank (Lib.), Gordon Gray-
donothers.
There was, a feeling that a vote may
be reached tomorrow night.

Parliament bas now rounded out
some six weeks of its session. The
time is quite considerable. On occa-
sions, 'the House and ,Senate have
made more, progress 'trhnn has been
made this year. The Toronto paper,
now attempting to make believe, that
all our problems can be solved; by
signing a Iittle 'ballot, has on one of
its Pages a blank! in Hansard to show
that ,nothing :has been done. It would
appear that it is not generally known:
that the first month of each session
is devoted entirely, to Private Mem-
bers with very little Govern'men't busi-
ness,
The House of Commons is the great-
est forum Canada has. It is here that
members have a right to express their
opinions and thews. Take that away
and you no longer have a democra.tir,
government.
This year the debate on the Address
carried on for some weeks while that
gave each Member the right t& speak
it ,did shut off a large number of pri-
vate resolutions and bills. After the
debate on the address there was then
interjected the Bren gun debate.
While one may not agree with the
Opposition in precipitnt.ins this de-
bate, certainly one woulrt fight for
their right to do so.
Sovie headlines have featured art-
icles in the Globe regarding the cost
per minute fbr the time each one
speaks. The fact of the matter is
that last -year the cost of the House
of Commons was $979,833. Spreading
that over -the year, the cost to each
Canadian citizen would -be nine cents
per capita. In other words; the writ-
er of the articles would have to lay
awake at night planning 'how to
raise onfe cent every 40 days to pay
his share of the cost of this House.
No dkmbt, his mind would be so ab-
sorbed with this problem' that he,
would forget entirely that to tray fort
his daily paper be would' have to
raise well over one hundred times
that amount in the same 'period of
time.
Actually, vyhile the cost per capita
of the Flouse of Commons is nine
cents, as average Canadian citizens,
we pay well. over $5.00 per year for
newspapers and magazines. Certain-
ly there is no co'rfi•plaint about that
from bhe Globe & Mail.
Today the debate on the Trad"
Treaty was carried on with unusual
vigor, Mr. McLean, of Prince Ed-
ward Island, led off for the. Govern-
ment, and he was followed by Mr.
Needham fS.C,), T. L. Church ('Cions.)
Ralph Maybank (Lib.), Gordon Gray-
donothers.
There was, a feeling that a vote may
be reached tomorrow night.
