At This Time Of Year
•This is the time of year when care-
less and indifferent, motorists, and in
. ' particular, truck drivers, really make
foot passengers see red. No one can
bla-me _pedestrians either. To be
Splashed and sometimes doused with
the Sliring filth that lies on the roads
and highways is not a nice experi-
ence, as too many persons have found
• -out.
Motorists should remember that
s all through the winter months it is
their interests that receive first, as
well as very expensive, considera-
tion. To make a full road clearance
for motor traffic, the plows have to
• - push the 'snow back over the side-
walks on to residential properties,
and the pedestrians have to use the
roads and highways in towns. Con-
sequently when springtime comes,
walkers have no alternative but to
continue the use of these roads.
This winter has made the situation
particularly acute. Goderich Street,
one of •the principal 'residential
streets in this town, is a good exam-
ple. This street is on No. 8 Highway,
and the provincial plows have piled
the snow in some places up to six
feet on both sides of the street.
Now that milder weather has -
come, this snow is melting and form-
ing pools on the road. At' different
• times water has completely covered
the pavement, and this condition will
prevail for at least another week. It
may even get much worse, if we have
much' milder weather, accompanied
by rain.
That calls - for particular - caution
and courtesy on the part of drivers
of cars and trucks. But as far as we
have observed drivers of either
haven't shown much consideration to
pedestrians. That applies particu-
larly to drivers of' through traffic,
- who seem to think'that if they keep
within the speed blink that is as much
as should be demanded of them.
• But the pedestrian has just as
much right on the street as have the
motor vehicles. And careless driving
that results in splashing or soaking
pedestrians is a °criminal offence.'
Conditions, however, will not
iiii-
proveui-ti1 pedestrians make a stand
in' their oSvn defence. Heretofore,
while. they strenuously object to be-
ing more or less splashed by careless
motorists, they object as strenuous-
ly to laying an information against
an offender -and appearing in court
• to back the information laid.
•They want some one else to do it.
But some' one else, even a policeman,
• is rarely in a position to see what
really happe,ns, and drivers will con-
tinue to be careless and discourteous
just as long as they can get away
with it.
• •
Don't Abuse Our Winter Snow
• At long last, reforestation and Soil
• erosion are receiving- a belated con-
sideration at the hands of our farm-
ers,. county councils and other gov-
ermng bodies.
In this respect we wonder how
many realize the gait our winter
snows play in saving our land from
assuming desert proportions, a eal-
. amity that, has fallen on many sec- ,
tions of the United States, and even
80/116 i our own Western Provinces.
•• Writing in the Free Press recent-
ly,- Mr. H. C. Mason says: "In the
• United gtates about one-quarter of
all the arable - land is now •either
rtiiiied or severely. impoverished. On
,another fourth, rnore than half of
the top soil is gone, and on the third
fourth, erOsion, is already well under-
' 'this has happened in the.
•tle h16:re than 8'00 mears Since
"White man's Plow first broke the
Or. Sofi.
• 'And the most alarming fact is
that not only in, the Wilted States,
but elsewherefthe speedust of mods
ern life has led to greater loss of
productive soil in the few yearsof
the 19WS than in all the centuries
which have gone before.
We in this country often curse our
,winter climate. I° know, I do! But
its snow 'blanketing the Tared fer
Months, and its frost,freeing it
hard and preventing'- washing . and
blowing when it is bare, are blessings
in disguise. Without them we would
be in much worse conditions than we
are; and with them fighting a delay-
ing action on our behalf we still stand
a good chalice of winning our battle
—if we only realize it is a battle."

• What Goes On In Parliament
During the question period in the
House of Commons on 'Wednesday,
March 19, the following dialogue is
reported in Hansard, and it illus-
trates what goes on in Parliament
all too frequently. •
Even more than that, it answers
the question so often asked as to why
• our Parliamentary Sessions are
dragged out to such lengths, and
why the cost of Government of our
country has- become an unbearable
• burden upon the shoulders of the
taxpayers:
• Mr. MURPHY; For a copy of all
• correspondence, contracts or agree-
ments, or other documents in lieu of
• agreements entered into by the gov-
ernment, or any department or ag-
ency of the government, between
January 1, 1943, 'and February 25,
1947, concerning veterans" homes and
holdings, in each province, for each
, area where three or more homes
have been built under Veterans'
• Larid Act.
Mr- TUCKER: Mr. Speaker, to
„ comply with this motion would in-
volVe making copies of documents
which are 580 inches thick, over 48
feet, and comprise 116,000 folios. It
has been estimated it would take one
typist fifteen years to do the work.
• The cost of producing it—
, Some hon. MEMBERS: Oh, ob.!
Mr. TUCKER: I am giving the
estimated figures of the- cot- of com-
plying with this motion; surely hon;
members do not object to Viat. Such
cost would be 17,500. I suggest that
if the hon. member desires specific
information he indicate what he de-
sires, or reframe his motion to ask
for something definite. As it stands,
to comply with it would involve a
tremendous expenditure of labor and
money. Perhaps he will permit it to
be dropped.
• Mr. MURPHY: I would like the
• motion to stand.
•
• On Raisinp Children
Representative- Chester -Gross,. Re-
• publican Member of Congress for
Pennsylvania, would appear to be an
• expert in the perils of Parenthood,
and last week he gave Congress the
lowdown on how to raise children.
"And it's no old maid speaking to
you," the Congressman • told the
House. "I had eight kids of my
own, andstook fourothers into my
house to -raise. For 20 years I had
10 or more at my table."
And this is what Mr. Gross learn-
ed: That there is -no such thing as
juvenile delinquency. It's the -parents
who are to blame. Discipline has
broken down all over, he said.
"If your kid gets into trouble, lick
him;" advised the Congressman.
• "It his teacher gives him a licking,
• lick him again when he gets *me." ,
But „there is more to the Gross'
method than, that. "A parent has to,
gain—and maintain—the confidence
oif his chiklren. He has t . set an ex-
ample for them too."
"Pot instance, a parent should not
•Send his kids to Sunday School or
church. He should take them." ' •
Mr. Gross said he knew raising
city children is harder than raising
them in the country. "But the prin-
cipal is the same. It's the reSponsi.-
- -bility of the parents to keep them
straight."
• And his parting shot to the Mem-
hers id Congress was: "Remember,
• no child ever was born bad!'
There is quite a,bit in Papa Gros'
theOry too. •\ '

From sales of grains, seeds and hay,

Cash income from the sale of farm

New Brunswick is accounted for in
large part by lower income from pot-

Need Every Lamb Possible This Year
With the alarming reduction in the
numbers of sheep in Canada and in
other countries, too, combined with a
heat -hungry world, it is obvious that
every Iamb born in. 1947 bas a high
potential • value. During springtime
the sheep -fold should bea place of
special ieteresti.
Growth and clevelopreent of lambs,
like othera,nimals, depends largely
,upon nutrition. This begins with na-
'ture's prevision of milk. Every good
shepherd provides the type Of feed

With the approach of lambing, email
portable pens should be prepaeed.
They maye be made out -of hurdles
four to five feet in lerigth and two
and oneNhalf feet in height. Such
pens are useful in holding the ewe
and her offspring together until the
