"The Cat Out
of the Bag"
(St. Thomas ,Times -Journal)
In an editorial we refer to the Ger-
mans "letting the cat out of the bag"
in regard to the dews of the surren-
der of the German armed forces.
Most ..people, we believe, are of
opinion that this common way of say-
ing that a secret has been disclosed,
means -a house cat. But it is not
that kind -of cat at all.
Away back in the bad old days of
the British Navy, sailor who broke
the rules or were guilty of some other
offence were punishedby lashes with
the "cat o' nine tails," which was a
cruel whip with nine thongs. This
whip was kept in a bag. When a
man was held for .punishment his
comrades would look around, awl on
the part, of the ship where the pun-
ishment • was to be inflicted they
might see the "eat" lying on the
deck. Accordingly, they would go to
;him and warn him what sortof pun-
ishment he was going to get by re-
porting that "the cat is out of the
hag."

IT ALL MEANS PEOPLE -AT WORK
ItIwill take time and money and manpower
to carry out the large-scale construction and
improvement program we've planned for after
the war.
Take our dial conversion program alone :
Almost three-quarters of the telephones in
service are now of the dial type. But that still
leaves thousands of telephones and ex,
change equipment in scores of commu-
nities, tobe changed over.
After the war when equipment is again
obtainable, the job will take years to complete.
And this is just one of several projects which
spell jobs not only for all our present em-
ployees both at home and overseas but for
additional workers, too.

of briying a pig in a poke froi i those
who have one' to sell and are anx-

Is the ,new era to be extemporized
out of thin air, at election, time, or
are we to lay the foundations in hard
study of exietin;g facts and upon that
basis begin the construction of the
new edifice.
The tendency of political parties, in
a. democracy, is to draw together in
essentials. Each promises what the
other offers, but offers more of it.
The lines of difference become blur-
red. They disagree on minor items
and emphasize the points of differ-
ence. All parties big or little, great
or salt., promised high prices for
farm products and full employment.
None faced the issue and told how
this was to be done. It may be hop-
ed' that -parliament will do better
whensr�it meets. It may even ask to
be told where it is expected to go. If
it spends its time rehashing the elec-
tions, as sometimes happens, the
members ought to be turned loose for
a while—better-crops follow a fallow
field -there may 'be hope in that.
We are told that we shall be living
in a new era but the problems we
face will be•infinitely greater than
ever before." Floors'under farm pric-
es are possible. So too is legisla-
tion which provides a more equitable
distributing of the national income,
but neither of these plans will satis-
fy the thinking Canadian who seeks
the establishment of Conditions which
will make it possible for each seg-
ment of the economy to stand upon
is own capacity to produce do it
without battening upon others. Be -
ides, no one knows how our econ-
my will react to the substitution of
reps' for basic changes in policy cal-
ulated to eliminate ' the inecessity
or such aids. The acceptance of a
ork leg is not an admission that the
ecipient prefers it to his own.
Full employment -was faithfully
romised—usually by those who had,
made other promises which made full
mployment ingpossible. This isn't a
rav of despair, it's a plea for reality.
We hope for expansion• of trade but
the nation cannot live on maekets
reated by lend lease and, for some -
me, we must recognize the fact that
he purchasing power of our richest
markets bas been radically cut.
Take two examples, select them,
ot . from the least,- but from the
reatest of our markets—it will clear
ur minds. In 1939 the foreign' in-
estments of Great Britain anz,ounted
o approximately sixteen billion dol -
ars, in good times it, brought an in-
ome of roughly` eight hundred mil-
iom dollars. Some of tbese invest=
ents have been wiped out, others
ave been sharply deflated by the al-
ered financial conditions of the coun-
ries in which they were made. The
ritish Commonwealth and Dominions

ng received is exchange for goods.
is estimated that these balances
mount to twelve billion. Canada and
e United Stites have repatriated a
rge volume of securities formerly
eld by the'United Kingdom. Now

ritain is on the shelf—it does mean

uy ip countries offering the . best
rices. It is a poor time to raise
sts of production or promise high -
wages.
What is the position of our Ameri-
n neighbour? It has a high' wage
to and an unsteady price level—
al problems, both of. them.

f Need For. -
a Border Reform,.
r1,:."
,(By B. T." R-, in Winnipeg Free
e Press)
e San Francisco:. I have just been
across the Uci,s .-Canada border again
o twice in 48. hours in facts ,and; the
experience has furnished fresh evi.
deuce that'the red tape, the IlndieRity
and the inconvenience heaped', upon
the visitor who sets foot on whet,
was once called the "undefended':
frontier, is a disgrace to both recon-
tries.
Canada and the United States are
•making noble gestures in San Fran
cisco about international amity and
co-operation, but they have built up
a bureaucracy of the border that will
unless something is done quickly, de-
stroy the traditional friendly access
which ' has existed on their common
frontier.
It is difficult to decide whether the
customs or the immigration services
of each country have .become the
worst. Ever since the Washington,
D.C., customs inspector "destroyed
most of a barrel of our home pre-
serves, by unpacking them and then
negligently ,tossing them ° back onto
the barrel because no one was around
to watch him, I have thought the
customs people were the most ser-
ious hazard to goodwill and most in
need of reform if the amenities are
to be retained between Canada and
the United States.
But going up to Vancouver, B.C.,
from Seattle, I found the customs
men affable and considerate. The
immigration men pass the Canadian
citizen quickly and hold up the pro-
cession in order to probe and scrut-
inize .,the Americans. All 'that is
needed is for the Canadian official to
recognize the traveller's credentials
and pass him with a blessing tot feel
as free as he does at home.
The position is reversed on com-
ing back into the United States from
Canada. At the Seattle airport, the
LT.S. immigration official started
checking through , the Americans,
keeping the others waiting. The joke
was on me, for I was the only non -
American passenger going on through
and when the airline agent asked the
immigration man to pass me as they
were holding the plane, he balked and
gave me a 20 -minute going -ever.
I have mentioned .only two leading
,markets, what of the others? Many
are in a worse position. There is
some, consolation in the fact that fih-
ancially and economically we are in
a position' least equal to the best
of them .but the road ahead will not
be beautifully smooth,
We have gone all out on a cam-
paign of high expenditure. Taxes
are going to be high. Now and then
we get the flippant answer: "What's
the difference --it means only a trans-
fer' from one individual to another."
It is more than that, High taxes in-
crease the costs of production, and
reduce demand, make it more difficult
to start new industries and expand
bid . ones. - '
These are a few of our •problems.
We shall hear more of . them. This
must .not be the ,age of dreams; It
must be the age of`' realities. The
flight tram a shattered world to a.
better life will be etiif . ding There
are triune when there may be tears
in mr eyee, but etre have a right pfd,
be proud of them Vire need tae 'seine'
e
I missed the plane, of course, but
United Airlines gave me •a seat on
the next one. As it turned out, sly
papers were in order and, from ex-
perience
sperience at borders, I, had more than
enough other ^ credentials, ranging
from a card approved by the Secret
Service to enter the White House,
to a permit to drivea ear in" the Dis-
trict of Columbia. But a system
which requires a border official to
fi!1 out several forms, repeat a series
of questions several times, and,;,keep
7 score of people waiting for many
minutes, is plainly in need of reform
if international goodwill, is to sur -
rive.
- Obviously, the border:_ officials are
not to blame. The system establish-
ed both by Canada and the United
States is wrong. All that the trav-
eller should need is one credential
accepted at any border point. If
Canada and the United States could
take the. lead in eliminating the
bureaucracy of the border, they
might encourage other countries to
follow.
There is no use of government
leaders - and politicians making
speeches about. freedoni, especially
freedom of travel and communica-
tion, if they keep their borders .post-
ed with officials who have to carry
out regulations which, whatever justi-
fication they have, result only in re-
stricting freedom.
The June. Bug
The big; awkward lune bug that
bumps against you in early summer
is really a scarab beetle with an in-
teresting past. In May or June the
full-grown, adult comes out of their
subterranean burrow and mate. The
dggs are deposited in the soil, where
the whitish larvae or grubs hatch out.
During their first, summer they live
on the vegetable content .of the soil,
just below the surface. - In the win-
ter, they burrow to a depth of .3tt
feet. In the second and third sum-
mers the larvae again come closer to
the surface where they feed on the
roots of .grass and other plants. In
this way they may cause much dam-.
age After two full years spent un-
derground,.
nderground,. the larvtz, pupates, andn
ally *14lr the`eirrergence of the adult,
the cycle is complete.

The' fertlliaed. 'Pasture consisted
largely of Kentucky 'bluegrass and
wild white clover, and no supplemen-
tary feed was given. During each 24-
hotzr period the cows spent from 7 to
8 :hours in grazing, but of this time
t only +about live • hours, in actual gath
ening of !herbage, the rest being spent
in travelling short distances to select
the tastiest bites. About 60 per cent
of the grazing was done by day and
40 per cent by+ night. Walking dis-
tances were two miles during,. day.: and
only a half mile at night.
On a dense sward of from four..: to
five inches in height each cow con-
sumed about 150 pounds of herbage,
or 32 pounds of dry matter, daily. At
the amount of green herbage de-
creased, the intake was reduced cor-
respondingly to. about 90 pounds of
herbage per•day. On another pas-
ture where the herbage had reached
a height of ten inches, the average
daily intake was only 70 pounds, eq-
ual
q
ual to 20 pounds of dry matter. Good
pasture management is opposed to
tall, coarse growth and provides for
the mowing of overgrown.herbage; so
that the fresh shoots springing from
the root crowns may 'furnish again
the succulent, nutritious bite,
Returning to the intimate study of
cows at Cornell, it was found that
during a 24-hour period, 12 hours
were spent in lying down and seven.
hours in chewing the cud. Twelve
droppings amounted to 46 pounds of
manure, covering a total area of eight
square ,feet, and urination occurred
nine times. The cows drank only
once during -"the day, usually in late
afternoon, and suckled the calves
three times for about 15 minutes at
intervals of eight hours. That is the
record of a well -ordered grazing.

Before the Great ..Lakes existed or
the glaciers invaded Ontario, the Lake,
Erie basin was • drained by a stream.:
called the Erigan River. It is be• .
lieved to have cut across to the Lake

cier, advancing southward, scraped .-
the Erigan Valley full of drift and;
when the last glacier 'left the region:
the old valley was sealed up- The
Lake Erie basin filled up •with water
and spilled over the escarpment at
Queenston. Niagara. Falls originate&
at that time and the river began the
cutting of its gorge which has re-
quired about 25,000 or 30,000 years..
The falls are retreating up the river
now at the rate of three to four feet
a year, as established- by a number
of surveys. •At this rate they would
reach Lake lrie and start to . drain it,
in about 45,000 years. This is a longi
time from the human standpoint, but•
very short in geological history. Man '
may delay the advance of the falls ups
the river by building protective work&
of sofiie ,kind to decrease the rate of
cutting of the Horseshoe Falls.
