WON MARCH 11 1955 SC 3 TIM Rt 89% of urban Canadian housewives prefer Butter to any other spread INTERPRETSHURON PROBLEMS (Continued from Page 2) sistance or disabled persons' al- lowance is not realistic. Many people getting old -age as- sistance are quite capable of dp- Ing some work. Circumstances and health may compel them to ask for this form of government aid, but once they accept it, they are limited to other earnings of approximately $5 per week. Simi- larly, a married couple can earn a like amount, and even lessif they own a little home when de- ductions are made from the maxi- mum pension. Many of these people would be doing much for their own health and happiness if they were earn- ing something additional to their pension. The present system puts a premium on idleness and penal- izes industry and thrift. The irony of it •is, too, that when they reach 70 and receive old -age security, they can then take all the jobs they like without being penalized. But in many cases they have lost the strength to do so. I know of a case where a young woman is in receipt of disabled persons' allowance, but when she Naturally you prefer butter! It's a natural dairy food, made of rich wholesome cream, delivered to your creamery while it is country -fresh. Butter's flavor is all its own ... mild, delicate, creamy. For good eating, good living, there's nothing like butter! For a booklet of grand new dairy food recipes, write to Marie Fraser.

LESLIE, Proprietor Phone 80 — t Seaforth Miss LILLIAN CAMP, Bell's oldest pensioner, chats with .finita Del r'ecchio, 17, who has been a Bell operator for only a few months. �illiat-t Bump The first of generations of Bell people who have shared one aim... to make good telephone service even better LILLIAN CAMP was a young lady of 22 when she came to work for us in 1880, the year we started if3 the telephone business. She re- tired on pension in 1931 and can today, at 96, look back on three quarters of a century as a member of the Bell family. Every time she drops in to our office in Montreal for a visit, she sees fresh evidence of gro;vth and change. Yet she tells us there is one thing that has not changed through the years, and that. is the pleasant, interested people who continue to enter and grow up in the telephone business; men and women who have shared one aim — to make good telephone service even better. That's the way it was in Miss Camp's day. That's the way it is now, 75 years later.

Of the annual total of immigra- tion to Canada, what percentage are women and children? - In 1954 did Canadian steel pro- duction increase or decrease from the previous year? Currently which has the greater value, Canada's import or Can- ada's exports? In 1945 the federal .civil service payroll was $15 million a month. What is today's monthly pay- roll? ANSWERS: 5. More than $30 milliona month. 3. Steel produc- tion decreased by more than one- fifth. L Alberta, second to On- tario. 4. For the past two years other nations have sold to us more than they have bought from us. 2. Nearly two-thirds of all immi- grants are women and children. is able, she does a job of baby sitting, earning $5 a week and her board. Her doctor advised her to undertake this activity to take her mind off her own condition. Under the regulations, when this was dis- closed her allowance was reduc- ed. I have no hesitation in suggest- ing that the permissible total in- come under both Acts should be increased to $840 for a single per- son and $I;440 for married cou- ples. These measures are a joint re- sponsibility of the federal and pro- vincial governments and in the 'interests of uniformity we have to go along with the ideas and regu- lations- formulated at Ottawa. Within the last few days legis- lation has been introduced at Ot- tawa to amend the War Veterans' Allowance Act to permit the very measures I have suggested. Henceforth, a war veteran will have a permissible income, if sin- gle, of $840 per year, and, if mar- ried, $1,440 per year. We have before us Bill 60, relating to the Blind Persons' Allowance Act. This amendment will permit the reform I have advocated, so far as the blind are concerned. As I have pointed out, the initia- tive for these reforms must orig- inate with the Government of Can- ada, and I trust they will soon adopt the same regulations in re- spect to old -age assistance and disabled persons' allowances. I think we are all familiar with the provisions of this fund, where- by when judgment for damages has been awarded against a per- son who has been involved in a highway accident, if he isa'"unable to pay, that person loses his right to operate a motor vehicle in On- tario until the fund is reimbursed in full. If circumstances are such that he cannot pay, he is banned from operating a motor vehicle for the rest of his life. If a person is convicted of mo- tor manslaughter, he may get a term in a penitentiary, but for good behaviour his sentence may be reduced and in a few years he is a free man., including the right to operate a motor vehicle on the way: Contrast that with an ac- tual case I will cite here. A young man of my acquaint- ance had an accident on a town- ship road during the winter months. He ran into a stalled ve- hicle on the highway. The road was narrow and he came over the brow of the hill on the wrong side of the road. No criminal charge was laid. No person was injured, but he was sued for damages in a civil court. He had no money, no insurance, so eventually pay- ment was made from the Unsatis- fied Judgment Fund. His license was taken from him. Later, he married and is now raising a family and buying a home. You can't say he is im- provident, because he isn't saving any money to pay off that judg- ment. He is acquiring a home in which to raise the family. How- ever, because he ogees the Pro- vince of Ontario a few thousand dollars, he may never drive a car again. As a matter of fact, he works in a hardware st' re. where it would be a great convenience for him to drive a half -ton deliv- ery truck. But no, he can't get a license. The one who was guil- ty of manslaughter can liquidate his debt, but this man can't. I make no claim that the terms of this piece of legislation are un- sound, but I do claim it ought to be amended to take care of cases of this nature. .May I suggest a Board of Appeal, where a person can present his case, and if cir- cumstances warrant it, his permit will be'restored after a period of say five years or even longer. Let us show a little mercy where on- ly money is involved and great hardship is imposed. I strongly urge that consideration be given to this proposal. I do not suggest an appeal to the courts, because that would immediately involve other costs, such as lawyers' fees, court costs, etc., but a Board of Appeal may be set up within the Department of Highways or the Attorney -Gen- eral's, Department, whereby many cases of hardship would be' -'re- lieved. I will refer to just one other matter before concluding my re- marks. Last year new legislation was introduced dealing with our provincial parks. I understand headway is being made in this matter and surveys are being con- ducted throughout the province, so that suitable sites may be further investigated. It is my understanding that one or two more sites have been in- vestigated in the County of Huron in the n.eighborhood of Goderich and Bayfield. I trust that the va- lue of this area as a tourist at- traction will not be overlooked when the time comes to decide where additional provincial parks will be established. Already, dur- ing this debate; the question of acquiring what is known as "The Pinery" in Lambton County has been referred to, and I would just like to add my voice to the other hon. members who have mention- ed this project and urge that pro- vision be made in the Estimates this year to enable proceedings to be conducted towards the acquisi- tion of this area as a provincial parte.

A Scotchman who had a little bottle of spirits on his hip slipped and fell on the ice. Upon rising, he felt something wet running down his leg, whereupon he said to himself, "I hope it's blood." • Orator: "Allow me, before I close, to repeat the words of the immortal Webster." Farmer Green (in a stage whis- per): "My land, Maria, let's git out of here! He's goin' ter start in on the dictionary." Recipe To Preserve Children Take one large grassy field, half dozen children, two or three small dogs, a pinch of brook and some pebbles. Mix the children and dogs well together and put them in the field, stirring constantly. Pour the brook over the pebbles, sprinkle the field with flowers, spread over all a deep blue sky and bake in the hot sun. When brown. remove and set away to cool in a bath tub. BREWERS BEARING GIFTS The subtlety of the serpent is shown in the way the brew- ers train their public relations men. In one brochure issued for their guidance, there are no fewer than 134 special days and events listed. ,On these occasions the smooth brewery agents, polished off cours- es of training in public rela- tions, very pleasing in person- ality, will play their unobtru- sive part. A few words here. some co-operative there; per- haps a little financial assist- ance, possibly a little enter- tainment. The prestige and standing of the Trade is thus definitely and easily enhanced, for there are found few to pro- test. In fact, many respect- able but unsuspecting people actually applaud these brew- ers' agents bearing gifts.— (Advt.).

Today's tense living, lowered resistance, overwork, worry—any of these may affect normal kidney action. When kidneys get out of order, excess acids and wastes remain in the system. Then backache, disturbed rest, that 'tired -out" heavy - headed feeling often follow. That's the time to take Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's stimulate the kidneys to normal action.
