Their Place Is In Ottawa
This year the members of the
House of Commons voted, themselve
an addition of $2,000 to their session-
al indemnity. At the time there wag....
some adverse comment. Not that
the members were getting too much
money, but there .:was a minority
feeling that this was not the 'tixne for
such an increase to be made.
As a -matter of fact, any one who
knows the money calls to which a
Member of Parliament is subjected,
both at home and " abroad, or living
conditions in Ottawa, knows full well
that the average member • is under,
not over paid, if he attends to his
duties as they , are outlined .. to him
. when he subscribes to his oath of
office.
And among the things that every
Member 'of Parliament subscribes to
when he takes his seat, is that he will
faithfully attend 'every session of. the
House,' or forfeit the sessional pay
for that day. There are, of course,
certain over-riding circumstances. A
member • may -be 111; or he may be
called from Ottawa on immediate
and pressing public 'business. There
Flight be illness or death,in his- fam-
ily,' and other things of that nature.
But on the whole a member's busi-
ness is to attend the sessions. of Par- -
liament, or the sessions of any com-
inittee of which he•. may be a mem-
ber..
em ber.. .
How many members are fulfilling --
their obligations?` Even a cursory
perusal of Hansard since the news:
year- makes one wonder. Take for
instance, the last: recorded vote in
• the House.: which was on the after-
noon .of May 24th. That day was, of
course, -a public holiday, and being a
Friday, judging by the record it look-
ed. as•if considerably more than half
the membershad taken advantage of
it ' to take 'a long holiday week -end
at home, or somewhere else.
On this vote, although it was on
an :amendment raised by Mr. Brack-
en, leader ' of the official opposition, •
there were only nine Conservative
members present to record •• 'their
vote, and the leader was not among
them. If 28 C.C.F. and Social Credit
-members had not supported him; his,:.
positidn would have been ridiculous.
.Nor was'the record of the Liberals:
very much better.
In. Western Ontario there are 25
Members of Parliament; nine Liber-
aIs and 16' Conservatives, represent-
ing constituencies from Essex and
Lambton on' the south, to Bruce and
Grey on the north, and from. Wel-
, lington and Waterloo en the east, to
' Huron on the west Out of these
members .on . either side, here was
only one in Ottawa to re,, d a vote.
And that one was W. H. Golding, ,,
Member for Huron -Perth.- And that,
is neither an isolated' case nor a
'record.
Absenteeism from the House of
Commons,- on the part of members
while the House is in session, while
at the same- time these members are
taking the same pay as sitting mem-
bers, is something that will have to
be checked soon, or it will be getting.
out of bound's altogether. A remedy
is, in- fact, overdue. -
The temptation is, of course, great.
Long drawn out debates, sometimes
senseless . ones, are tiresonle, and
other duties extending over months,
are exacting. Members are only hu-
man beings; they want tb skip it and
get -relief. With free railway pass-
es, it is not hard for a number to •
invent muses for running home for
.a few days. It helps him to keep him-
self before his own public.
cvey thinking citizen knows'
;and .Believe that
s while Parliament
ss41sn, tie p1'ace for.. ever-yy. -
e is in the. House, attending
0
°to the oU less the country, That
is. what he' .is paid for, Ad that.
Qty. If a member wants�ol spend
the greater part of his time ,ending
his own political fences in is own
constituency, or assisting his politi-
cal party td mend the fences in some
otherconstituency, perhaps he has a
right, to do it. But certainly no
member has a right to accept the
taxpayers' money for . doing it.
Neither_ theeop
le - nor Parliament
P.
have voted a sessional indemnity' for
that purpose.
Going Up
The Bureau of Labor Statistics in
Washington says that most of the
things that make up the average
family -budget now cost more than
fifty Per cent. more than they did
theday war was started . in Europe.
Food clothing ,and house furnish-
ings costs, which represent 57 per
cent. of thebudget for wage earners
and moderate income workers, in
large cities, are now 'a' little over 50
per cent. higher than in August, 1939:
The consumers' price index now
stands at 130.9 per cent. of the 1935-
39 average and 3 per cent. above the
average a year ago.
That is not very heartening news
for Americans, but Canadians will
soon be learning how to sympathize.
While the increase in the cost of liv-
ing in our own country is only about
half of that across the line, ours too
is gradually going up.
This is evident with every ceiling
price that has been raised or. remov-
ed. Milk and ' cattle are up. • Cloth-
ing and -furniture are on the climb.
Coal is not only up, but we have the
unwelcome assurance from every
source that should know, that the
coming winter will see the greatest
coal shortage the people of Ontario
have, ever experienced.
We• have had a wonderful spring,
but a cool one. Even people lucky
enough to have .a little coal left over
are --now sweeping the bottom of the
bin, and a house without heat is a
miserable abode these days.
With a fuel shortage ahead of us
next winter, possibly the,average cit-
izen will not feel, the: heat this sum-
mer—if we have any:" But memory " ,
is short. Before very long there is
every possibility that we will be com-
plaining about the heat just as bit-
terly as in a very short time. indeed,
we will be complaining about the
cold and the lack of fuel.
In the meantime, the weather is
pretty good, so.. make the most of it.
Get out and enjoy as much of, ,it as •
you possibly can.

Some Dap !
An artist by the name of James
Montgomery Flag has . thisto say......
about the present day girls: "Girls
used to be luscious; now they are in-
digestible. The bobby-soxers are
ruining the American tradition of
beautiful women. I abhor slopply
women. If women had an ounce of
sense they would never dress as'theS
do. ' Men's attire they affect—shirt
and jeans—is indecent. Everybody's
laughing at American women, and
I'd Laugh myself if I weren't so dis-
gusted."
Perhaps .the 'artist would say the
same thing about our Canadian girls.
If so, we think he is just a little bit
hasty. Man's lament against fem-
inine
apparel has made a long serial
story. First he hates and then 'he
learns to admire.' It doesn't matter
whether it was-crinolins, iron stays
and wasp `Waists, leg of mutton
sleeves, Merry Widow hats, bloom-
ers, pantalettes, short skirts ' or no
skirts, rolled stockings or no stock- •
ings, treble petticoats, trains or
hoops, man always' came round in
the end.
For after all if a girl uses plenty
of -soap and water before donning
her shirt and jeans, uses tooth. paste •
and perfume with discretion, cooks
with patience- and smiles as a girl
knows how to smile, she is going to,,,
stand some boy on his head:
There is nothing surer than that.
And more, her generation will have
just as many weddings, or perhaps,
more; just as many ,babies, we hope
more. And when she gets to be a,
grandmother, Which she will, men
then, as now, will be.pntl�oi '

DDT Powders, Sprays For Cattle Lice
Tests with powders and emulsion
-sprays containing .DDT were carried
out during the past winter at the Cen-
tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, •on
33 head of young cattle with the fol-
lowing, interesting summary of the re-
sults: At least 18 of the animals
were known to .be infested with lice.
in varying degree on various parts of
the body, more particularly, the neck
and hindquarters. The powders test-
ed contained, three, five -and ten per
cent. DDT, respectively, • and , each
concentration -was• -tested--on a •di•ffamr
ent group of cattle. Only one treat-
ment was given•in each case, the pow-
der being applied' by means Of a
shaker -top jar over almost all of each
animal's •body, except the legs,under
belly and ,brisket. The powder was
then worked well into the hair by rub-
bing. Soon after application the lice
left the skin and crawled out toward
the ends of the hair's where they clung
fora considerable time before drop-
ping off.
All of the concentrations used kilt-
ed-the
i11-ed-the active stages- of the. two louse
species present, . namely, the short -
nosed cattle louse and the Iittle red
louse. Eggs of the lice were not de-
'stroyed, but powder 'remained on the
animals long enough •to ,kill most, -if
not all, of the„young emerging from
eggs deposited prior . to treatment.
The powders and sprays gave excel.=
lent coptrol for one month and' good
control' for three months. A' few in-
festations of the short -nos -ed cattle
louse found. on,the•]ower brisket area
which hath not been treated, 'indicate
that complete coverage of all infested
parts of ..the animal is necessary. If
this were done ' efficiently a single
treatment applied early in the winter
would keep a herd reasonably. free of
lice during the normal period of .stab-
ling,
Results obtained with two water -
emulsion • sprays containing 0.5 per
cent. •and 0.25 per cent. DDT respec-
tively, indicate that both concentra-
tions will destroy these' two .species
of lice and also the young emerging
from eggs deposited prior to treat•
went. it was observed that no lice
were found at the end of three
month's. Three pints of • spray were
applied to each animal by means of a
portable pressure sprayer,
In .the tests •with DDT powders; it
'was found that•in- order to get coin:erage ,of all but theundef=parts, it is

' The poultry ,industry+ to 'Canada, has
become logbttainaae, It In mode tt•Oi';
however, of a multitude of small busi-
nesses. It is in .the continued suc-
cess or non-success of these individual'
businesses that the story' -of the• fu-
ture -will be written, says the, Egg
and ,Poultry Market Report, Dominion
Department of Agriculture. It is only
by the closest attention to the rules -
of. good management that these `indi-
vidual businesses can hope to succeed.
T.he fullest possible utilization of the
products of nature is a basic principle
in economics and good. management, •
In poultry management, there are
some things often overlooked, such as
grass, —earthworms—, ----water;- ai•r- light; •
earth and exercise. -Grass is the most
readily available source of vegetable
protein and essential nutrients for
poultry, and animal protein is • easily
obtainable .in...earthworms. Only. one
o' two species of earthworms .may
carry poultry parasites. Theycan-be
avoided.' Water is almost, more :im-
portant. than , feed. From their pe-
culiar structure, poultry suffer more
readily•from lack of water than from
lack of feed. Light is, essential es-
pecially in the -fall and winter. High
producing stock' needs extra light and
extra feeding time to produce well.
Concerning earth, there are virtues in
good -earth and contentment for the
birds in a dust bath; and in good
poultry' management, it is a maxim
that growing stock should be obliged
to range for part of its. ration,
Culling Poultry on Range ,Profitable
'Culling starts on the day the chick's
are hatched as it is essential that all
chicks be examined and weak ones
discarded before being sent to the
brooders. During the rearing period
first in the • brooders and later on
ranges the flock 'should be watched
constantly and any birds^.showing
weakness of any kind discarded. Each
weak bird op. the range means a loss
df 'feed and time because -they can
never become good adult stock and
are a menace to their pen mates. On-
ly when all stock has its full measure
of health. and, vitality is the range
operating efficiently.
Disease • presents a problem to .the
poultryman at any time of Year, but
Particularly when rearing young.
stock. Puilorum disease can now be
avoided' by the purchase of eggs or
chicks from puliorum fre flocks but
the poultryman has still the menace
of coccidiostls and worms to contend
with. These.. can be combated by
sanitation end care in management.
It is advisable to be sure that all -
equipment is clean and, that young
birds are kept separated from old
birds. , Well ventilated and clean
houses are also essential.
