Session Ends
The seventh and probably the last
Session. of Canada's -21st Parliament
has . ended: The'record of the 21st
Parliament will soon be in the hands
Of the voters and historians.
On the home front and abroad, the
21st Parliament had a record which
is generally regarded as being out-
standing. It presided over the most
prosperous four years ii Canadian
history, at the same time underwrit-
ing the most•costly peacetime defence
and social security programmes ever
attempted.
Barely a year after its election, the
21st faced the grave challenge •f
Soviet aggression in Korea, and v
ed a $5,000,000,000 national defe
outlay to build up the nation's a
forces. It backed up the Gove
inent's decision to, send thousands of „
Canadian troops to joinUnited Na-
tions forces in the Far . East and to
the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion in Europe; to send an air divi-
sion of the latest Sabre jet fighters
to France and Germany and an air
transport squadron to Japan; and to
provide a naval force for patrols in
the Pacific.
At home, it launched the world's
most comprehensive program of so-
cial security for the aged. One of its
first acts was to provide universal
old, age pensions of $40 a month to
persons over 70 without means test,
and to extend pensions to needy .per-
sons in the 65 -69 -year age group.
Equitable financing of the new pen-
sion was provided by a two -per -cent
levy on personal and corporation in-
comes and on sales.
The 21st Parliament continued to
assist a National Health Plan, in-
augurated by the late Prime Minister
Mackenzie King in the 20thParlia-
ment in 1948. The pllan, which pro-
vides for Federal -Provincial partici:
pation and most of which hasbeen
carried out in . the past four .years,
increased the nation's hospital a.c-
ommodation' by one-third, trailed
thousands of new health workers and
provided hospitals and clinics with
costly new technical equipment for
• sickness and dis-
aa to bfbt,tiP Rteaasite ,
caul, It helped lay the g roundio'brk
f0i' "what Mr” K1iig predicted -would„
ultitt tely betoine a national pro-
gram of public health insurance. The
plane Immediate benefits began to
show up in a sharply reduced death-
rate among infants and tuberculosis
victims.
In business, .Parliament took steps
concerning combines and restrictive
trade practices, revamping and tight-
ening its legislation against compan-
ies which violated the concepts of
free enterprise and competition. New
machinery for maintaining vigilance
over repeated offenders *as provid-
ed, and additional protection was
given to companies against prema-
ture publicity during investigation.
The 21st Parliament faced one of
its greatest domestic challenges with
the outbreak of the dread foot -and -
Mouth disease on a Saskatchewan
cattle ranch early in 1952: The Unit-
ed States livestock market, as. a re-
sult, was closed to Canadian cattle.
Parliament authorized necessary 'ex-
penditures to eliminate the disease
atidr bolster domestic prices through
,. the °crisis.

What Other Papers. Say:
Ontario's Countryside
(Acton Free Press)
A drive through the countryside
often reveals that our shortage of
housing is not really a shortage but
partly a misplacement of available
housing. It appears that always the
majority of folks like to live in
groups= -some big and some small.
Always there is the urge for compan-
ionship and close neighbors.
Many farm homes are to be found
without tenants when in similar
buildings in cities and towns two and
three families would find a similar
house quite adequate and willingly
pay a high rental. Many farm homes,
it will be noted, have been allowed to
deteriorate and become inhabitable.
Most of these houses will, of course,
not be found' on the main highways
but they are (!bite accessible.
In these days when it is not consid-
ired necessary to be located right
close to your place of employment
the surplus of vacant homes on farms
might be considered a possibility for
the folks who seek living quarters.
Of course, the families will have to
attend the little red school house and
,, there will,be such services as water-
s, sewers, garbage collection and
fire protection and some other things
lacking. But electric lines are avail-
able in most of this section of the
province and the farm homes are not
without many of the conveniences
that those in town enjoy. Driving
along the roadways of rural Ontario
these days one is bound to make com-
parisons between theovercrowded
areas and the spaces that are wide
open.
Covering Councils
(The Weekly Editor)
Resolutions passed recently by
Simcoe town council and Norfolk
county council give newspaper re-
porters permission to report discus-
sions and deliberations in committee -
of -the -whole sessions of both coun-
cils.
This action was taken following
the presentation of a brief by Dick
Pearce, news editor of the Simcoe
Reformer, asking councils to open
the way for complete coverage of
meetings. -
Quoting from an opinion of The
Municipal World, he explained that
the press had the right to report
committee -of -the -whole w'h i c h is
"purely a device to have the mayor
or other presiding officer le?, -,;e th@
chair so that a c „..imitti e -chairman
may Pr.:atue end .by-lavits or conimit-
tee repOrtii fnay be dealt with in de- .
tail While the rules of debate are re-
laxed."
Al pointed .he po nted out that much of
the reasoning-- behind -council.-deci-
sions 'was advanced during commit-
tee -of -the -whole discussion but never
made ' available to the ratepayers
through the press because eouncils,
by custom, barred the press from tak-
ing notes or reporting committee -of-
-the -whole. He felt that the public
would be better served by a change
in procedure granting permission for
full coverage.
The majority of the members of
Simcoe town council and Norfolk
county council voted in favor of the
New's editor's suggestion, no dissent-
ing opinions being expressed. Coun-
cillors asked only that the press use
discretion when personalities be-
came involved or when any council
proposal, in the opinionof reporters,
might be jeopardized by a premature
report in the press.
Although still in the "try -out"
stage, the new procedure has worked
, satisfactorily in the opinion of sev-
eral councillors who were asked to
'comment 'on the .changeover.
The danger of closed meetings be-
ing held; as--autho-rized..by.. the -..Muni-
cipal Act, seems remote at the pre-
sent 'time. In addressing both coun-
cils; Mr. Pearce suggested that the.
continue with the old co Int yy
ttee�of�
the -whole system if they thought that
closed ,tineetinresult , .
gs would' result frond

Hundreds Crowd Waterfront
.You would ,have thought it was
the middle of July at the Goderich
waterfront on Sunday. Hundreds
docked to the beach and the dock,
most of them with fishing rods to
angle for elusive perch, but there
.were some who braved the still
cool lake for a dip. Others who
weren't quite so hardy took the op-
portunity that the unseasonably
warm ,weather offered to .bask in
the sunshine, Cars which jammed
every available parking spot at the
harbor came from points as far
away as 'Hamilton, Toronto and St.
Thomas, while a few United States
visitors were noted in cars bearing
Michigan and Illinois license
plates. As early as 6 a.m. on Sun-
day, the fishermen were streaming
out on the piers and to the break-
water and by noon you simply had
to try to wedge yourself into 'a
spot, with practically every avail-
able place along the • piers occupied
by rod and reel enthusiasts. And
the `'fishermen didn't go home dis-
appointed. Young and old alike
were seen coming up the hill from.
the harbor carrying strings of
perch headed home for a delectable
meal. All along the lakefront, hun-
dreds more came from their homes
in cities and towns to open up their
cottages., Ai Grand Bend it was re-
ported that the beach, like the
Goderich waterfront, was as crowd
ed as a midsummer day.—Goderich
Signal -Star.
Strange Bird Causes Rumpus
A strange bird, thought by some
to be a loon, caused quite a commo-
tion Sunday afternoon in Pleasant
Valley, when it flew in for a` arasdi
landing on the premises of Les
Krueger. The bird was quite large,
the site of a duck, and sported a
wicked beak about four or five
inches long. Mr. Kruger went out
to investigate and venturing too
close received one spiked .beak
through the shoe for his pains.
Constable Ted Whitby appeared on
the scene to keep the bird under
surveillance, and by this time quite
a. crowd had gathered. For some
reason the bird seemed unable to
take off again, and it was thought
by some that the loon, if it was a
loon, could only take offfrom the
water and was helpless on land.
Eventually the Chief of Police was
called. to deal with the metteeland
feeling that this was out of his de-
partment, he in turn called "the lot
cal conservation officer. Meantime
Mayor DeWitt Miller had appeared
on the scene :to see what all the
fuss was about. In spite of all theinterested onlookers, however, no-
body interveiewed by the Advance -
Times seems to know what even-
tually happened to the creature.
Nor does anyone know for sure
what type of bird it was. Conserva-
tion Officer George .McBride, on
arriving at the spot, found that ;he
bird had dow=n; either literally or
figitratively, anti the matter will
probably remain a mystery.—Wing-

"To control wild oats. as effec-
tively as mustard in cereal crops
has been our objective for several
Years.," says' George 'I{inowies 'of
the Field Husbandry Division of
the Central Eitperimental Farm at_
Ottawa. It appears ;;his. objective
may be attained, in part at least.
On the Central Experimental
Farm in 1952 a heavy infestation
of wild oats was controlled almost
100 per cent in barley with little
Injury, by applying in a low vol-
ume spray one pound per acre of
Maleie Hydrazide (active ingredi-
ent) on barley which had been in
head for six days. At that time
the wild oats were -only in the short
blade stage. This treatment con-
trolled wild oats by making the
heads sterile, that is, they con-
tained hardly any seed. The same
treatment applied on a variety of.
Oats which headed at the sa'me
time as the wild oats, and on a•
variety of wheat wl)Ich headed at
the same time as, the barley, caus-
ed almost complete sterility of the
oat crop and a partial sterility of
wheat. The germination of the
Wheat, moreover,. was `severely re-
duced:
This margiil 04 difference, in the
growth stage between wild oats
and some cereal crops may make
the selective control of wild oats
possible, says Mr. Knowles. He
adds, "''his promising method of
controlling wild oats willpbe thor-
oughly tested with all cereal crops
this year on five Experimental
tiems_-tegated in areas where wild
oats tea serious Tmeibleiertee

Sn .a series of variety testa con-
ducted for three years at the
Fredericton Station, Director pro-
duced the highest yield for any of

basis of 80 rod row plot yields it
produced at the rate of two tons
of shelled peas per acre, or 373
pounds more than Smallton, the
