Our Answer Is No '
The,Motint Forest Confederate, in
a recent editorial touching on the
pst-War decentralization of in&ls-
!try, and the possibility of such indus-
tries for that town, says:
"One of the first questions by such
industries is: Have you sewerage?"
As a matter .of fact,. it is not only
the first question that an industry
seeking to move its plant to a small-
er centre to combat the living condi-
tions, labor situation, taxes. and a
general view of reducing overhead
expenses, would ask, but it would be
the determining factor in large
-Measure, whether the/ owners of
such industries, particularly w,orth-
while industries, would locate in any
particular town.
It is true that there are other de-
termining factors, such as railway
facilities, accessibility, etc., but in the
main' , sewerage systems are going to
largely determine the location of in-
dustry in the post-war days that are
almost upon us, and the towns with-
out such advantages are going to find
themselves overlooked, when indus-
iry to move. to a new loca-
tion.
• Unfortunately for the town of
Mount Forest, as well as the town of
Seaforth, when an industry looks for
a new site on which to locate, and
asks the leading question: "Have
you sewerage?", there is only one
answer f orthcoining7-"No."

A Conservative Opinion
Writing in the Victoria, B.C.,
Times, Mr. Norman MacLeod, gen-
erally recognized as a great political
correspondent, and one . possessing
more inside information of the Con-
servative party than, any. other out -
Alder of this generation, gives a calm
and critical analysis of the cause of
the Conservative defeat in the recent
Federal election.
• He stresses two points. First, that
Mr. Bracken's failure' to enter the
House of Commons was "a major
and fatal error," because it was in-
terpreted as showing indifference
.for parliamentary institutions, and
opposed the tradition that the na-
tional -leader of the opposition party
should be in Parliament.
When Mr. Bracken ignored it, Mr.
MacLeod said: "He not only weak-
ened himself, but also humiliated
tens of thousands of Conservatives,
nation-wide, who were under the re-
alization continuously that for the
Erst time in Canadian history the
leader of their party was not play,.
ing a part in the parliamentary life
of the country."
The Second mistake was to direct
the Conservative manpower policy .
directly against Quebec. "The Brack-
en manpower policies were present-
ed in such terms that Quebec had no
alternative to regarding them as a
'challenge to take. up. This cost the
party any chance it had of winning
any worthwhile support from a pro-
vince which elected 65 out of Parlia-
ment's 245 members, but that was
not the end of the story. In addition,
tbe Bracken Manpower policies rais-
ed such extensive possibilities of
racial disunity in the Dominion that
the English-speaking provinces hesi-
tated 470 support them."
This analysis of Mr. Bracken's
plans and policies was pointed ,out
• many times before and during the
campaign by leading speakers and
papers across Canada, but was al-
ways denounced by the Conservative
party members as pure political
partisranship. But now it has not on-
ly been confirmed by the leading con-
servative journalist of the Domin-
ion, but- by the Canadian people at
• ,the polls.

ke0 ibn learned, it will abund-,

The Union Jack
Some 40,000,000 Britons have just
received the shock of their lives.
They have been told by Sir Gerald
Wallaston, of the College of Arms,
Briton's highest authority on' tag
flying, that the flying of the Union
Jack in the recent spontaneous and
great celebration of V -E Day was
entirely illegal.
That the Union Jack was establish-,
ed by royal proclamation in 1801. It
as ordained to be flown on all His
Majesty's forts and castles and on all
His 'Majesty's ships, and nowhere
else. That it is a royal flag and may
be flown only in name and under
authority of royalty.
With what flag then can the Brit-
ish people celebrate victory .past or
tocome? The answer, according to
Sir Gerald, is very simple. At sea
• they can fly the red ensign. On land
they can fly nothing at all—except,
of course, the Stars and Stripes and
ti e Hammer and Sickle.
It will be a hard blow to the great
Imperialists of this, country, .but per-
haps, after all, Canada should pick
on, a flag„of its own.
•
What Is A Bushel?
As is most generally known in a
rural community, such as we live in,
a bushel of wheat weighs •almost
twice as much as a bushel of oats,
and the bushel itself is a -varying
quantity.
There are, however, a great num-
ber of varying weights of the bushel,
and perhaps many of them may not
be known to as great a number of
pE ople as the weight of a bushel of
wheat or oats, for instance.
In contracts, for the sale and de-
livery of the following commodities
the legal weight, in pounds, per bush-
el, are set as follows: -
Alfalfa seed, 60 pounds; barley,
48; beans; 60; bituminous coal, 70;
blue grass seed, 18; brome grass
Eeed, 14; buckwheat, 48; clover seed,
60; flax seed, 56; hemp seed, 44; In-
dian corn, - 56; lime, 70; malt, '36;
oats, 34; peas, 60; potatoes, 60; rye,
soy beans, 60; timothy seed, 43,
and wheat, 60 pounds.

Just A Promise
During the election in the Prov-,
ince of Saskatchewan a year ago,
which swept the C.C.F. party into
power. --in that Province, the people
were promised a new heaven and a
new earth.
Instead of that, they are getting
•the same old taxes, with quite a few
new ones added on for good measure.
One of the promises of Premier
Douglas was that the very unpopular
educational tax on meals in restaur-
ants and other purchases, would be
removed.
But 'although two sessions of the
Legislature have been held, the tax
is still there. And oh to of that, new
• taxes have been imposed—a cent a
gallon more on gasoline, a_higher
tax on farin trucks a stumpage tax
and royalty on AM finished lumber
from Saskatchewan forests, and a
license tax' on, all halls, -

The Farm Products Control Board
of Ontario has recommended the ap-
proval of a proposed Pea, Corn- and
Green Bean Marketing Scheme to the
Ontario Minister of Agriculture, the
Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy; and the
Minister's recommendation has been
accepted by tee ,Cabinet and the nec-
essary order -in -council passed. The
scheme provides for the marketing of
three of the main Ontario vegetable
crops for canning purposes only,
peas, corn and green beans, the total
combined annual volume and value of
which are approximately 70,000 toes
and $2,000,000. -The plan establishes
a negotiating committee of equal num-
bers- of growers -and processors,
Which is empowereto negotiate min-
imum prices, forms of contract, con-
ditions of sale dnd other matters re-
lating to the primary sale of these
three erops to all processors.. Provi-
sion is made for arbitration if the
negotiating 'conamittee fails to reach
agreement on any matter.
This is the tenth scheme approved
by the Farm Products Control Board
and will brim Sateen crops under the
regulation of the Feria. Products, Con-
trol Act. Marketing schemes have al-
ready been,approved covering cheese,
