They Are 'Already Doing It
Two weeks ago we noticed a re-
port of a speech _giiven in the House
of Commons by a British Columbia
member that we thought contained
some great possibilities for his fellow
members, ' although some of them
have already adopted at least a part
of the suggested ideas.
Hansard reports the speech in part
as follows: "11r. Gibson (Comox-
Alberni) However, I have listened
with keen interest':' to this debate
which, as the hon: member for Cari-
boo said, has become a triple tedious. -
I have often wondered if it would
not be an excellent plan- for -the
parties .to get together and decide
what stand they would take, and
each party have certain speeches
made; and, apart from that, any
member who wanted to do so might
send, out to his constituents a copy
of a speech with his photograph on
it. He would not say that he had
made it, but he could allow his con-
stituents to infer that he had done
so. It would do just as much good."
We think that paragraph. contains
at least one. excellent idea. • If parlia-
mentary debate was leftto the lead-
ers of the different parties, or to one
or two members of each party, in-
stead of several dozen members of
each"party breaking out in a rash of
speech to re -thresh old straw for the
purpose of having their names ap-
pear in Hansard, it would shorten
the session by many months, and
save the . taxpaYers many thousands.
'of dollars.
But the British Columbia member
is a 'little late with his suggestion
that members send out to their con-
stituents copies of .a leader's speech,
with the inference that the speech
had been delivered by himself. Cer-
tain members are already doing that.
Not only are the constituents fav-
ored, but in some instances the week-
ly papers, and one or two of the
smaller .. dailies. Recently we have
noticed several occasions in which
weekly papers have quoted in first
page headings, the opinion of a local
member on the issues in, Parliament
pro and con. But the member's opin-
ions did not extend beyond the head-
ing, .although it was there that the
inference • was made. The context
was brazenly taken from the speech
of a party leader. In this case it hap-
pened td be Mr. Bracken, but no
doubt members of other parties are
doing. the same thing.
It may be considered good adver-
tising, blit .,.awe have grave doubts
about it. Even if some speeches had
the member's photograph on them,
there is more than a fear that they
would backfire with their constitu-
ents because member's' capabilities
are pretty ;well known in ,every rid-
ing and ,particularly so in rural ones.
As the most successful advertiser
of all times put ' it:. "Ydu can fool
some of the people some of the time,,
but you can't fool all 'the people all
the tim6."

Winter -In Britain -
A newspaper correspondent writ-
ing from the Old Country, describes
living conditions in that country dur-
ing this winter, which has been the
most severe experienced in Britain
in many years, something as follows
"In the evening there was no light
to read by, no gas to cook by, and no
power to run • the radio.' About
2,000,000 men and women were -out
of work because the firms that em-
ployed them were out of coal. There
were no vegetables at the grocers,
and the fishermen Couldn't negotiate
the icy roads.
• "The nation was £550,000,000 in
- the red in its international trading
account, and the newspapers splash-
ed headlines: "Britain's ' Export
Ships Stopped by Ban an Coal." Rus-
sians were fierce about Britain's pol-
icy. in Europe ; Americans were
fierce about British policy in Pales-
tine, and Britons were fierce about
most everything British, including
the policy of their -cricket team in
Australia."
Even. in March, Canada is not too
badris it?
&ttiwg An .Ilxample
The United States Congress is set-
ting an example that might be fol-
lowed with a great deal of profit by
- the Canadian Parliament now sit-
ting in Ottawa.
-Announcement has been made by
the U.S. Civil Service Commission
that the number of persons employ-
ed by the Federal. Government has
been reduced by almost a million and
a half in the last two years. -
From a wartime high of 3,770,000
ori 'June 30, 1945, th.e federal pay roll
was, cut to 2,277,000 at December 30,
1946. But that, apparently, is not to -
be the end of the reduction, as Con-
gress is now debating economies in
the public service that would remove
several thousand more employees
from the pay roll.
Better still, the economy move is
being. advocated byboth political
parties. Not to be outdone by the
Republicans, who started the econ-
omy move, Senator George, a prom-
inent member of the Democratic
party still in ' power, ' has proposed
that 500,000 ' more be •reduced from
the service by July 1st next.
Of course, the Canadian Civil Ser-
vice pay roll is far below thatof the
United States, but still it carries
many, more thousands of . names. than
- are "at all necessary to the competent
carryings on of our public business,
and the matter should receive the
immediate attention of our Members
of Parliament.
It is not by any means an ;easy.
thing to do. During the war years
many new ' bureaus and branches
- were were necessarily added to the Ser-
vice, and as' every one knows, new
bureaus established in wartime are
much more proficient at digging in •
and consolidating their positions
than any army at the front.
But 'the war is' over now, even if
the peace hasn't been won, and ' the
need of carrying thousands .of ex-
tras,' which add millions of dollars a
year to• the Dominion pay roll, is
" over, and the axe should be used not
sparingly, but wielded .with great
vigor. - -

The Telephone, In 1873
Last month the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Alexander Graham• Bell, the
inventor of the telephone, was uni-
versally held on this. continent.
Possibly the telephone has proved
one of the greatest aids to mankind'
that have ever been invented. ter-
tainly it holds a place in man's way
of livingtoday, second to no other,
although we now take it as a Matter
of course.
But it.. was not always that way,
for a Boston newspaper published in
1873, had this to .say: "A man about
46 years of age, giving the,,name of
Joshua Coppersmith, has - been ar-
rested in New ,York for attempting
tooextort funds from ignorant and
superstitious people by exhibiting •'a
device which he says will convey the
human voice any distance over metal-
lic~ wires, so that it will be. heard by
the listener at the other end. He
calls the , instrument a "telephone,"
which is obviously- intended to
tate the word "telegraph" and win
the confidence of those who know of
the . success of the latter instrument
without understanding the principles
on which it is based. Well-informed
people , know that it is impossible' to
transmit the human voice over' wires
• a's may be done with dots and dashes
and -signals of -the -Morse Code. And '
that' were it possible to do so, the
thing ,would be of no practical va-
lue. The authorities who apprehend-
ed this criminal are to be congratu-
lated,' slid it is to be hoped that his
punishment will be prompt and fit- -
ting, that it May serve as an example
to other consclenceless'schemers who
enrich thexrtselves - at the expense of
• their -fellow ,creatures."

Seed Cleaner Should Know Seeds
A well -operated seed cleaning plant,
can be . of .great service to the farm-
ers of the district in which it is situ-
ated. Whether or not a plant is thor-
oughly' successful depends primarily
of,. the'ability and energy of the opera-
tor, but he must have the support of
the farmers 'whom he is serving, said.
W. H. Wright, Chief Seed Laboratory
Services, Dominion Department of
Agriculture; in a recent .address. in
'Toronto.
In. addition to thoroughly under-
standing the operation anad.capabili-
ties' of the machines which he has to
operate, •tlie operator of the .cleaning
plant,.must know the characters of the
seeds, 'both crop and weed " seed
Which he has to handle. Tobe able
to identify the more important and
common weed seeds , is something
which the operator must be able to
do himself, unless he•is provided with
a competent seed. analyst who can do
the job for him. This knowledge is
necessary if ,thorough Cleaning is to
be done, because all weed ,seeds can-
not be removed •with equal ease from
the different kinds of'seeds, which pass
through the plant. That is particu-
larly true of the small seeds such as
alfalfa, clovers and timothy. Special
methods have to be used to • remove
some kinds: of weed seeds.
If a certain lot of seed is to be
offered for sale, it must be cleaned to
meet the requirements of the Seeds.
Act. • That cannot be done_ if the
operator is unable to identify.the weed
seeds which are grouped into four
classes in the Regulations• under the
Act, namely; (1) Prohibited; (2)
Primary Noxious; (3) Secondary Nox-
ious, and (4) Other. Weed Seeds, •
The only way an operator can learn
ie—identify weed seeds is to- study
them carefully.: This requires patience
and should be done;'if possible, under -
instruction by someone. who is thor=
oughly familiar with, them. In the
Laboratories operated by the Domin-
ion Plant Products Division, it is con-
sidered that it takes' at least a year
Of continuous training to make a
reasonably _competent analyst .capable
of making ordinary tests of less dif-
ficult seeds, and much longer before
all the most difficult -seeds can be
identified` with accuracy. the value
of the trained seed analyst is becom-
ing more and more "appreciated- by
seed firms. Most of the •analysts em-
ployed by seed firms have been train-
ed in government laboratories, and at
the request 'of the seed 'trade,.amin-
es fiar a limited number of students
have been conducted in some of the
district labortatorles' for persene' who
are •already employed by seed firms.
• Facts Worth ,Knowing ort Rhinitis
In a recent address• to the Alberta
•
Provincial Swine Breeders Associa-
tion at Edmonton, Dr, R.: C. " Duthie,
Division 'of Animal Pathology, Dom-
inion. Department of Agriculture; dealt
fully. with the subject of., swine.
rhinitis. The term "Rhinitis," he ex-
plainect, simply meantan inflamma-
tion of the mucous membranes of the
nasal passages and might extend: to
the underlying structures and acces-
sory sinuses or the "middle ear by way
of the pharynx and eutaehian tube.
The condition might be.. acute or
chronic. It was givenall, sorts . of
qualifying pr..efixes, depending on the
nature of the discharges and the tis-
sues involved. A good example of
acute catarrhal rhinitis, •he Said, was
the common cold in the head, Which
as is generally known, might lead to
something far more serious.
The type of Rhinitis in swine which
had, been under study at the Dd'niinion
Veterinary Researc'h Laboratory, Leth-
bridge, during the past yea,r and a
half, •might be classed as a "Chronic
Atrophic. or Dystrophic Rhinitis," in
which -ultimately the ,growth of the
upper ,jaw was arrested and the
turbinate bones within the nasal pas-
sages 'destroyed. The general reced-
ing 'of the upper .jaw, together with
the uninterrupted growth of the low-
er jaw, caused ,the lower jaw to pro-
ject far beyond the upper part ,of the
.face., The deformation of the mouth
made it difficult for the animal to
eat, and, if the animal were forced
to compete for its foods it would slow-
ly starve to death.
However, said Dr. Dutrie;."the dis-
ease seemed to interfere little, if any,
with the general health and nutrition
and the animals would do almost as
well as the normal ones, if properly
fed and especially if the feed was
moistened. In the experience .of the
Laboratory; pigs up to a weight, 80
to 100 pounds, showed little difference
in the rate of growth, but above that
weight the pigs began to fight for
food , at" the trough and the animals
suffering 'from rhinitis •did not get
enough ,to eat. Such pigs should be
penned by themselves. A number of
-experimental animals were finished.
for market and graded A and B1 bac-
on.
Many theories had •been advanced:
