Parliament Meets
The Dominion Parliament met on
Tuesday to prorogue, and again on -
Thursday, in a new session. It ,is
much too early yet for any real Par-
liamentary news, and, perhaps, the
news part will still be true' at the end
of the session.
That is a matter that rests entire-
ly with the members. If they use
their opportunities wisely; their
minds to think with, andtheir
tongues sparingly, the people of Can-
ada will get a worthwhile picture of
the Government and a worthwhile
picture of what Canada is doing in
this war and the means she is adopt-
ing- of accomplishing her desired
ends.
In a democratic Parliament, such
as we have, there are bound to be
members who lack every sense of
humor; others who are pure self ad-
vertisers; some who are. foolish and
hasty, and far too many who have
more wind and tongue than heads
with . real brain matter. .
Fortunately, these latter classes
are but a small minority, but a small
minority well organized, vocal and
uncontrolled, has many times turned
out to be a tail that wagged the dog,
and has been many times known to
do inestimable damage to a country
and a people. . ,
These are serious times. The most
serious in our history.. Canada has
no time or place for men, even if they
are members of parliament, who at
this time give self or party or any-
thing else, apart from the country's.
welfare, first place on the floor of
the House,' no matter what' the op-
portunity or temptation.
Canada must come first and the
members of parliament must set an
Example to the rest of the nation, or
Canada's efforts in this war towards
a victorious conclusion will notiget
very far. It matters little whether
the session is long or short, provid-
ed always that the country's busi-
ness has first place, . and private, or
party issues no place at all.
As an example of parliamentary
procedure, the members of 'our Can-
adian House might do well to. mem-
orize the words of our late 'Governor-
General, the ' late Lord Tweedsmuir,
who in speaking ' of ' the British
House of Commons said: "Speeches
are shorter and of a far higher qual-
ity than in any other legislative as-
sembly with which I am acquainted."
And Lord Tweedsmuir, besides be-
ing a member of the British House
of, Comino,n.s, for eight years, had a
large experience of our Provincial
and Dominion Parliaments and those
of other Empire Dominions as well

The American Election
In the Presidential elections in the
United. States on Tuesday of this
week, President F. D. Roosevelt was
re-elected for a third term as Presi-
dent.
Canadian's and all citizens of the
British Empire will welcome the de-
cision of the American people. Even
though the , possibility is that Mr.
Wendell Willkie, the Republican can-
didate, had he been elected, would.
have been just as strong a support-
er of Britain in the war, Mr. Roose-
velt's choice seems more reassuring.
That is so .because a new govern-
ing body, following a Presidential
election, means a complete change of
the governing body from cabin boy
to Admiral; changes take time and
new officers, ' however eager they
may; be; would require tinie before
,they' would possess. the same knowl-
edge that the present office holders
new command. And time means
r tteh in this stage of the war-:
Haw` the American people vote is, ,
of dburse, their owl business. But.

Opportunitp
Huron County now has within. her
gates some three hundred British
airmen who recently arrived at Part
Albert Air School. The -mater
number of these visitors,are seeing
- Canada for the first, time, and, con-
sequently; are a, accustomed to our
country,. our Ways and ourselves.
Seaforth had its first contact with
these strangers on Thursday night
last, when a number came down to
participate in the Lions Frolic. And
we liked that contact, and hope for
many more.
They are an exceptionally fine ap-
pearing body of men- Very'quiet,
very courteous, very... much interest-
ed in their new surroundings,'and
very much interested in the places
and people. Soy much so that it was
a privilegeand a pleasure . to have..
them:.
'We hope they like us, and that
other towns and villages in the coun-
try will, from time to time, have the
opportunity of meeting them too.
We hope the people of Huron will
make the best of . these opportuni-
ties, because they are opportunities
not 'only °'"to show a little kindness
and courtesy, but opportunities to
form life-long friendships, and still
better, opportunities, if we use them°
wisely, of gaining new citizens after
the waris over.

Just Twenty Years
It is just twenty years ago on No-
vember 2nd, that the first radio
broadcasting station in the world
went on the air at Pittsburg.
Just twenty years, ,but could .you
visualize life to -day without the
radio? At. home or abroad and' ev-
r
en on, the road between, the radio
has become a necessity.
Perhaps more than anything else,
the radio has been instrumental in
bringing about the close and friend-
ly relations that seem everywhere
now to exist between ourselves and
our neighbors to the south. °
It plays a vital part in all our
lives, particularly -.in wain time. Per-
haps too; much so, because more time
is asted, more imaginary ups and
doves created and more nerves
wre.,ked by listening to the war news
and commentators over the radio,
th-an are suffered by the people in
the actual field of war. -„,°`'
But whether we use' or abuse the
use of radio, we must admit it is now
a part of . our daily :lives; and even
the middleaged and old who some-
times weary of its 'continuous voice,
would miss it if it were stilled. They
could not go back twentyyears any
more than the present generation,
who° have grown up with the radio
and would not recognize life or be
reconciled to it without.

Must Build Better
The, collapse of the bridge at . the
north ''entrance to Exeter on No. 4
Highway, early Saturday morning,
when an unloaded automobile truck
dropped to -the river bed with it; is
a reminder that traffic has chang-
- ed and that traffic bridges must
change with it. -
This bridge, a two -hundred foot
iron .structure, could • not by - any"
.means be considered an ancient relic,.
_: and in appearance seemed to be good
for many years. But it was built
for horse 'vehicles and not for cars
and trucks, and like many others of
its kind, it could not stand up under
the weight of 'modern vehicles.
Whether the bridge collapsed Un-
der the weight of the large truck, or
was struck by it, from the public
safety point of view, makes little dif-
ference. It was, evidently, too light
in construction.
There was a time when almost ev-
ery bridge, even the larger ones,car-
ried a notice warning that no horse
vehicle shbuld pass over them at a
faster pace than a walk. But traf-
fic is different to -day, and • cars and
, trucks pass over bridges ' 'at- what-
ever pace they happen .to be travel-
ling at the time.
Consequently, bridges must be
built to withstand not only the .. in....
creased vibration, but the immense-
ly increased weight of present trans- ,
portation. The process of recon-
struction will. be expensive, but, it
has: already been too long• delayed in
this county, as well as in many
other's,

"POTATOES"
Potatoes are dee thing on the farm
that seem:. to be taken,, for granted.
Such was not the\ease when Geared -
father Was alive. la the bright, warm
sunshine of the early Spring we cut
them up. Sitting on the upturned
hall keg at the door to the r+oot.lrouse,
basking in the sunlight and deftly
alining the potatoes so aa to have a'n
eye in each piece, Grandfather wasp
Ms happiest. .
With fingers grimy and/ stained he
would; pause to illustrate his yarns by
waving the stubby, sharp knife with
Which the was cutting the "paddies."
Gran>!i'tather was one man Who ap-
preeiated potatoes and on that plant-
ing day he managed to tell everybody
on the farm about them; His favor-
ite story concerned when he first set-
tled in the bush here and spent one
winter on corn meal cakes and ;boiled
potatoes. with ,salt, but no, betteer.
"You take ;a potato, ands cut it up
and plant` it in the moist earth," he
would say, as be helped himself at
dinnertime to anothe•replateftrl, "ands
you get your seed back ten -fold and'
the finest food .that it's, possible to
have come to your table."
Just after dinner Grandfather would
Belt his Pipe and picking up the shoe
from where it stand by the garden
gate he would •stroll out to the pota-
to notch, With smoke, eddying up
from his pipe he would shoe and care-
fully tends to the tender young plants
which were just springing up through
the earth's crust. Later an, as the
weeds became more troublesome, he
would spen•c, more time in the patch
and by the "bug" season he• was
downright busy. But th,e potato
patch was grandfather's kingdom and
was betide Anyone who 'strayed in
there without his permission,
Grandfather, was .prouder of the
potato•blossons than any florist could
,be over a rare' flower, He was an
expert on the color of blossoms• and
he would predict' the crop from- the
size and color.
How we delighted to tease him in
early Suffer about the neighbors
having new potatoes. The first time
we did, fool him, and he went right
over to Neighbor Higgins' place and
demanded to see their new potatoes'.
That anyone could have new pota-
toes before/ him was unthinkable.
The •neighbors looked surprised and'
Grandfather tanned ua, that night
not herd, but -just enough, to
work the edge off like temper -.Of
course, he. Woo Sorry afterwards and
we got' nickels for candy.
How pronrd h e was the first day
when he came in with the old granite
dish filled with new• •potatoas. Te
washed them and Ind therm in the
pot and boiled them himself with just
the proper amount of salt, He beam-
ed with 'happiness that day and made
a speciail trip in to the village to tell
the crowd at Murphy's General store
, in a eery! casual way, of course
"We :had a nice meal of new
potatoes today!"
Grandfather anxiously scanned the
skies for rain, in those last*feew weeks
before the 'stalks- wilted, He dreaded
what he oalled the "plague on the ta-
ters," but I can never remember his
crop having IL
On picking day he allowed us in
the patch. But he always took the
plow, handles for the plowing out of
the potatoes. He hated • to see pota-
toes sheared Illy a plow, because to
him that was- a waste of time and
effort.
Grandfather. stored the potatoes:
There had .to be just so many in
each.. bin - - . and: he Put -so many
in the pit . , carefully protected
by straw before the earth was thrown
in on top of them, As .Spring ap-
proached he could be found "snag-
ging' the potatoes and nicking them
over . - . and as he used to say,
"Just sort of enjoying myself."
The potato crop at Lazy Meadows
was poor this. year. Somehow I think
that if Grandfather had beery here- -
weather notwithstandinga there
would have been a good crop.

that when captured they tell too
