But Canada is not a lone excep- tion. There are many people in Great Britain who dislike, whole- heartedly, the Government of -Mr. 'Churchill, and many more people in the ,United States ' who bitterly hate the Roosevelt . Government,yet the Canadian people, as a whole, believe the world was mighty lucky at this time to have these two men at the head of their respective administra- tions. And, what is just as apparent is that the people of the United States' and Great Britain believe that the Government that has been in power in Canada during .the war has done a splendid job, . and done it under very uphill circumstances. • Reading Hansard If one •is a constant reader " of Hansard, the official report of the de- bates and_ proceedings of the Cana- dian House of Commons, one can not help but be astonished at the amount of. Senseless chatter, as well as_ the lcseless quest ;that arise day by day in that chamber. Viewed in this light, one is inclin- ed to believe the statement so fre- quently:mnade, that Hansard exists for thesole• purpose of enabling some members to impress upon their con- stituents their own importance, by filling its pagesand then distrib- . atxng .fr-.ee.. copies., in'. their home rid - On the other 'hand, one, who reads the Hansard report of debates in the Confmons; for the first time, can not help but be impressed with • the amount of interesting and import- ant information many of the speech:- es peech=es contain. If only . these daily repprts were more widely read, we believe the Canadian public would be far- better informed on our Canadian affairs, as well as on conditions and problems that confront this country.' At least they would be able, to form qualified opinions for: or against the policies of the G©vernnnent in power, which Would have the very desirable result• of creating a much more active and; intilligent opinion of what is really going .on. in our country, and how it iif being governed. And there is room for decided improvement there. • Will Rome ' Be Spared ? Every Canadian citizen,regard- less of his religious belief, can read - b.. ily understand and sympathize with the fears which their fellow Roman. Catholics entertain for the safety of Rome. But it should be retember- ed that the fate of that historic city rets in , other hands than those of the Allies. Whether Rome 'will be turned into a . bloody battleground, or spared from destruction, will be the sole de- cision of the German high command, and, unfortunately, therewould ap- _,pear to be little hope -_that :tie Ger-_ • mans will allow the Allied armies to ,,rangy that, city without a bitter ht. f the German behaviour in Naples and other Italian cities proves any indieation of What *11 happen in-. a there will not be much more an. a -heap of rubble left of the city ken" the- Germans start their 're- ' to;:thenorth 'of that country. ,armm " di s itself in,..... r . other Italian rio alterla- OroaBut J+ • X1.7 sir armies to the no414, theh; Rome be saved.

In spiteof the fact that a great . part of the city has been de- stroyed by Allied bombers, _ and a large proportion. 'of the civilian pop- ulatio. n has been evacuated to other parts of the country, those who re- main are getting more . and better food than• they have had since the war, started. The situation is explained by Mr. Stadler, a war correspondent in Madrid. ' He said that- a traveller from Berlin reported that those who have - not evacuated are eating bet- h ter than they ever did . before. It is partly because there are so compara- tively few to eat the supplies, and partly because Propaganda Minister Goebbels wants to offer some last in- ducement to prevent almost com- plete evacuation. In spite of this, the traveller said, four-fifths of the population have fled from BerIin.... • British Make -Wants Known The British people, each of whom receives enough sugar, bacon, meat and jam:: each week. to keep the average Canadian alive, if not• con- tented, for a couple of clays, is ask- ing for more. Not more bacon, etc., but ..more mincing machines, more • prams, the. tennis balls and hundreds of other "more'." ' • And most of them do their asking on the famous cen- tre columns of the front . page of the London, Times, which are plainly labelled "Personal," butare always referred to as "agony columns," and daily cry aloud the • wants of the British people. A parachute battalion wants a 16 -mm. sound projector. A woman , wants an ivory hair brush, and `a. young English woman officer wishes some ' one would give her- a British Warm, while another advertiser would be satis- fied With a "hanging lamp, movable chains, round wick.": Thefather of some small children is anxiously inquiring for model; farm buildings ; another " parent wants a "'pre-war pram; third "-ad- vertiser is prepared to quiet . down if given some game scissors, and a fourth is ready^to part, with a "fine marble bust of the Most Reverend William Hawley,"- ,Archbishop : of Canterbury in.1829. There are some bargains too. A Hornby model train ' can be had for $40.50,' -and a wrist watch' for $375.00. Bids are invited for four yards of "pure silk blue -white patterned crepe . de chine," and. $40 will procure a Remington -Universal razor. , And also any one wanting a 707 year-old' Persian carpet can buy the same for _$5,000, without the pur- chase tax added. •, Not New We hearso much about the havoc wrought to our troops by the "booby traps, planted so plentifully by re- treating Germans on every war front, that we are too apt to look upon them as a clever German in- vention. As 'a matter of fact it is not a Ger- man invention. The Canadians, Brit- ish, American, Russian and every other, Allied Armies are just de apt at setting booby traps as are the Germans:' ,But they are not the in- ventors of them either. They_ only brought them up to date and made them more destructive. Last week ' a "booby trap" set -by George Washington's Army in 1777, Was •uncovered by army engineers dredging the Deleware River. The trap,. called a "stockade,"'was found off the New Jersey shore below Hog Island. It was a wooden crib, 30,, feet long and 20 feet wide, weighted down with bowlders and filled with long iron spikes facing dowel stream just below. the surface. The spikes were intended to pierce the hulls of wooden); ships: Like many n' y of the present boob� traps,however, hrsoua .didutfi1 its dread mission, as hiStory relates thatan -tr ito r dfse ,sed ae' existent o f ,a,, :fieeh in. � � in boy tailed "up capture the~ f,. 101tirgiittirl "itern>! , 'loI eRl , from The ,gen Expoaitor''etia -.Fifty and lanennY-llve, Years}.

The old' ones were tattered and worn and after trying to makethem last out for the winter, I discovered that it was an impossibility.. Buying a 'pair. of lined mitts for teaming was„ -just a routine. TimMurphy has them, piled up on a counter •ie his store and they all' looked 'Keay much alike. They must be whacked out on a machine• and then sewed together with production line -speed. I had just about settled an a pair when I saw a pair of hand -knitted woollen one there also. These hand -knitted ones slipped on perfect- ly and I noted with surprise that they weren'tmuch dearer than the others, except that I would •'have to have a pair of pullovers. Tim told 'me that Mrs. Johnson, who Byes.. iii ,thp Sage, knits Mille a few pair of mitts each year. He told me also that she never charges too much . for them because she likes to feel that people will get some good out of her pro- ducts. I bought ' the mitts, put them on and slipped the pullovers in my pock- et because it wasn't too cold a day. In front of the post office I met Mrs. Jol}nson,aa sweet old lady with grey hair. She smiled at ane and said, "I see you have "'a pair of my mitts, Phil." I told her .that I liked them very much, and it pleased'her, Mrs. Johnson told me then why she knitted the mitts. Actually- the mon- ey didn't begin' to pay lber for all the work involved, but she wasn't wor- ried about that. She actually knits the mitts. because she likes to feel that men are , comfortable when they're working.

As a result, Joan was far from happy. ',Well, my dear," said auntie, "you look so sad, you must be homesick." "No, 'I'm not," said Joan frankly, "I'm here sick."

Agricul- ture; said. that 47,000' more. head of cattle, have been marketed ..since Jan- uary 4th than during the same period of last year. While there may be some. beef shortage develop during' the summer, prices may_ilover close .to the ceiling. Mr. Grahhtn- 'declared .he looked for a surplus of "•cattle., to come on the anar- ket'this fall, and in general the sup- ply for 1944 and 1945 should,,.be well maintained. As for hogs, W. P. Watson., assist- ant director of the livestock branch, Department of Agriculture, said that almost 1,000,000 more hogs had been marketed during the first .10 Weeks of this year as compared to the' same period of a year ago. The 'supply of young pigs ready, to Come on the market was, however, lower and a decline ie hog marketings could _be expected at any time. > In order to meet export requirements it might be -necessary. to snake some re- striction in pork consumption through selling outlets but there was no indi- eation this would bivalve rationing.

Asked by a committee member how long after the war the Canadian Meat Board would have to be retained, Mr. Watson' said his "honest opinion. was that_ we may have some control over 'exports for some time following the war." 'Dan McIntyre (Prog. Cons., Middle- sex South), asked what was being done to control shipping fever in cat- tle and received the reply that 'little -had been done as yet but that steps' for the future were being eonte'mplat- ed.

G. F. Perkin of the Provincial De- • partment. of Agriculture, said:. there were 173 credit 'unions. in Ontario oat present, 35 .of them in rural areas. Small loans could be made throtugh the unions at a maximum of one per cent. per month. • A. H.

He ,wanted to know, however,,, --whether the credit .unions were replacing. the •banks; . George Lockhart (C.C.F., Rainy River), said that during the depres- sion "no farmer dared, go into a bank for ..a loan."
