Once' Again
There •is•rno doubt but that the first
day of March came in like a latub.
• Neither is there now any doubt but
that the proverbial lion was 'only one
jump behind the lamb.
Monday ushered in the worst bliz-
zard- of the season, and once again
wheeled traffic 'came to a full stop,
and the trains ran hours behind time;
And then,' they too, stopped.
Every little bit of snow: we get
now, added -to what we already have,
:makes a little bit more, and that lit-
tle bit has 'come so often in the past
three weeks that the roads and high-
ways are plugged full and the work
of digging ourselves' out increases
with every blow.
We never did pose as being a
prognosticator of the weather, but
when We said last weep that any-
thing might happen in March, it only' '
took three days of that '"month, to
prove " that we ;.Were not ..straying,
from the truth.
It waswell on, to' the end of last
-week 'before sone of the highways'
Were opened in this district and traf-
fic was wheeling again. But just
when. it ' will resume again is some-
thing -else. Banks of snow along the
roads in many places have 'become:
o high that the work of tunnelling
a way through takes days, not hours,
.and givenM a' day or' two With. Mon- '.
day's weather,, we will be sealed in
pretty tight. '
. But even our worst is considerab-
ly better than the best that is being •
experienced in some, other parts of
Ontario. We have never 'run out of
either fuel or food, and that has been
too common an experience in some •
ofthe northern sections of the Prov-
ince'. • `° •
However, March is a long month,
and perhaps before it is over we may
have some tall tales` to hand down to
future generations. One thing is.
sure we haven't_' had .an '' open
winter. .. .
Absenteeism In Parliament
Two weeks or soago, , whena snap
vote came up in the House of 'Com-
mons on a ruling,of the Speaker, it
was found that a third of the Mem-..,
bers of the House of Commons were
absent from their seats in the'House.
Absenteeism in Parliament. not
new, but. during the past ,session or
two, it had reached such proportions
that the Premier and members of his
Cabinet were seriously concerned
about it. ,,,,The concern went even fur-
ther than that and reached the Lead-
er of the Opposition. In fact Mr.
Bracken, before the session opened, -
decreed that no members of his par-
ty would be allowed to pair with gov-
ernment supporters. But, apparent •
-
ly, that ruling fell by the wayside.
Speaking of the recent ,Ottawa epi-
sode the Ottawa 'Journal "said : "For
weeks before Parliament • met we
heard talk of' a `fighting session.' ,
What sort of a fighting session is it,
and what sort of a fighting Opposi-
.tion, which finds nearly half of Op-
position members absent when Par- ,,
liament is dealing with national de-
fence?
"If that absenteeism• had come _to-
wards the end of a long, session there
might be excuse for it, There is no
excuse for it when it comes after
Parliment has been in session only
tiro weeks.
' "No one should want M.P.'s under
the compulsion oftime clocks. But
neither sl uld any of us want M.P.'s
who, treat their job as a sideline,
coining to or leaving it as it suits
their mood and fancy.
:"An Opposition party in Parlia-
went: IA a private corporation;
it i the . public servant. A 50 per
cent, absenteeism during the consid-
eration o Parliament of important
public business suggests that too
many in the Opposition are unaware
of this. And not only Progressive
Conservatives sinned here; put of a
House of 244 members' (there. is one
seat vacant), 82 were absent from
Friday's division --more than one-
third. .Th"is"is absenteeism .in. inex-
-cusable proportion, unfair to. the
leadership of Mr. King, as well as to
the leadership of Mr. Bracken; apart
i altogether from -disregard of public
duty. If the, particular delinquency
of Members in Opposition is empha-
sized it is only because being. the Op-
position' their. delinquency is all the
more censurable." • . •
The. Toronto Globe and Mail also
expressed great editorial wrath over
the Ottawa episode; although tossib-
ly,• the greater part Of. that 'wrath
was occasioned by the' fact that if the
Conservative members had all been
present and had voted,,.the Govern-
ment might have been defeated. But
while such a government defeat, un-
der . the circunristanees; would • not
have brought on an election, it would
certainly have greatly increased „the
prestige of the Conservative party. .
The Globe and Mail said : "But the
fact that the vote and an opportun-
ity were lost, is incidental to the par-
liamentary state of . mind which is
responsible for the loss. The Cana-
dian people are not unreasonable em-
ployers. The habitually •excessive
• truancy of Members of Parliament
is proof of this. The electors do not
demand brilliance, or even great abil-
ity from those who represent them.
But they do expect the sense 'of re-
,sponsibility and. the reasonable devo-
tion to duty, which the wage-earner,
who employs them, is expected to
show in his work" • .
There is a .point, however, on the..
.question of absenteeism of Members
of Parliament, ., which neither ' of
these papers touched on,,.;-atthough it
'is one of the chief reasons why mem-
bers are SO often' absent from their
places in the House. That is the in-
. sistent demand of their 'constituents.
that .they grace.. with their . presence
'some dinner •or , special function in
their home. ridings, although the
- House is in session.
Constituents know, abut complete-
ly disregard the fact that while the
House of .Commons is in session, the
place for every, member is in the
House and 'not in his home constitu-
ency.. More than that, every mem-
ber subscribes to a declaration that,
he will attend .every session, -.or for •
-
feit 'his )gay for that day's business,
whether it. be inthe House or :in com-
mittee.
There is .no doubt but that the
presence of a Member, of Parlialrient
adds prestige to, any assembly of
people,- apparently .more •.so when a
Member . can be induced 'to cone up
from Ottawa to grace some particu-
-. Iar • occasion. But . unfortunately;
there are always ,a -few in .every con-
stituency who think . it adds. greatly
to ,their personal prestige to assure
any gathering that they will be able
to insure the member's.presence. And
then put the bee on the Member.
• Come ---,Or else. -
There • are particular occasions. of
"course, that demand a Meiflber's
presence in his constituency, whether
the- Hous is in session or not, But
nine. times otit of ten when a Mem-'
ber leaves bttawa to attend some
function in' his home constituency` or -
another,. because pressure. has been
to bear on him, he knows,
and his constituents should know,
that he' is • contravening his ..sworn
duties... And no constituents have a
righat to place a Member in .that 'posi•
-
tion. . . •
When the • House is in -session, the
place of every' Member is in the
House. When he absents .himself.
without just cause, re.is not only
neglecting the business of his own •
constitutency, as a - whole, but the
business'of-the country at large, and
doing it at the expense of the tax-
payers who are his -employers.

Tattered Flags
(Halifiec lieraid)
A reader of this newspaper writes' in toeeay
'that he ]las noticed a flag in .a Nova Scotia town, i'
This flag "is ,half gone"°and "the remainder looks
as if it went through a battle." He "thinks this
is a disgrace, to the flag and to this -country."
We agree. Every good citizen will agree.
If the are to fiy flags, let them be flag's—and not,,
tat,xer'gd, blaekened remnants.

In ;the third' quarter world food ap-

tion in the war -damaged areas of
Europe, the Union Mr the Soviet So-
cialist Republics, and the Orient is
begipning slowly to recover. The fact
that eacports are not keeping pace

• is Spray Equipment Ready'fo Operate
With the approach .of Spring there
is Plenty to be :done en the farm in
the line, of preparedness before plo'w`s
ing and planting begins.. One of the
most -important activities along• this
line, says Alan G. Dustan,' Division• of
Entomology, Dominion Department of
Agriculture- is the 'overhaul' of all
spraying and dusting equipment. This
entail's the -greasing and oiling opt all
moving parts, the careful examination
and possible renewal of rubber Bose
and hose. connectioris, the thorough
-cleaning of -tanks, metal pipes, spray
rods, nozzles and strainers and,, the
overhaul and - tightening of wooden
tanks anrl.'barrels. Iniaiediate atten-
tion to Such details will save not only
valuable' time, but money', •too,. when
spraying and 'dusting operations actu-
ally begin in the spring.
The seer, catalogues halve already
put in an appearance, listing insecti-
cides and fungicides' Which will Abe

these days of reduced supplies, it
.would be a wise' precaution • on the
part of growers to send in their
orders for spraying materials. without
delay,' before stocks are all used up.
This applie9 particularly to DDT
requirements. Some of the larger
insecticide companies advise that DDT,
supplied" are not expected to• meet the
increasing demands. By figuring anti-
cipated acreages, it is easy to' flgare
out reasonably closely the volume of
in€ecticid'es • 1vlrtch. will be required to
treat crops during ,the growing sea-
sbn.
As a guide, it should, lye i'ember--
ed that one pound of actual DDT or,
two pounds of calcium arsenate; when
in spray form, or;..en to 35 pounds of
prepared. dust will treat on the
average one acre of fields or garden
crops once.

Change Regulations in,•Seed Potatoes
In a .notice to Certified seed potato
growers in Canada regarding changes
in regulations governing the sale 'mad
production of Certified Seed in 1947,
Mr N. Keenan, •Chief, Plant Protec-
tion Division, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, points out that the
changes may be sum.nlarized under
two heads:
(1') Only certified seed may be
planted on seed producing fatnisr,
(2) Fields' planted with' Small Size
seed from Foundation and Foundation
A cias•ses may qualify as Foundation
A or Certified, in 1947.
For several yeal's, certified. seed
potato growers have been advised that
only certified seed could be planted on
a seed producing farm, Edell time
something hag developed to prevent
the . enforcement of -tills, regulation,
tint; says' Mr. • Keenan, if bacterial
ring rot ,is . to be,. controlled and
"certifliiatton carried on efficiently, •the
regulation must be enforced in 1947.
The regulation does, bot prevent the
production of table potatoes on an
applicant's farm, but merely requires
that fields planted, for table .4t-ock
production must be planted with seed
of the Certified class' ,on.. better, An
