Observe June Dairy
In -saluting the dairy industry dur-
ing June, recognition is being givek a
farm producer group that countrywide
is making a major contribution to the
Canadian economy.
The Dairy Month program is an in-
dication, too, of the extent to which
farm commodity groups are capable of
self help. The dairy farmers of Canada
must be commended for the enterprise
they have shown in organizing what
has become an annual dairy festival.
The man who does the milking—the
indispensable dairy farmer—is a man
we're all heholden to for, fresh whole
milk and other dairy foods.
Dairy foods are essential for health-
ful living. They supply the bone and
bodybuilding food values growing chil-
dren must have . . . and adults need
tot).
But did you ever stop to think how
important the dairy farmer's work is
•;to Canada's economy . . . and to your
own income? Loolk at -it this way. One
out of every six Canadians depend on
the dairy industry for his livelihood.
•44
Month
When you buy dairy foods you help
provide income for the dairy farmer,
and- for more than two million other
Canadians who work in dairies, farm
equipment companies, feed and fertil-
izer Oants, and many other industries.
Now suppose Canadians changed
their eating habits—began buying less
milk and dairy foods. The dairy farm-
er Would be the first to feel the pinch.
With his income reduced, he'd have to
cut hack his purchases of farm equip-
ment, fertilizer, etc. Dairies, farm
equipment manufacturers and feed and
fertilizer plants would have to reduce
wages—maybe lay off men. The pur-
chasing power of 21A million Cana-
dians would be substantially reduced.
By the same token, the more dairy
foods you'consume, the more the whole
economy benefits. And this is an ideal
time to help yourself td a large measure
of these health -giving foods and a share
in -the economic progress of Canada.
For June is.the month of flush produc-
tion on the nation's dairy farms.. That's
why June is Dairy Month.

A large bank barn was "rais-

Road, 'Millet, last week. The
barn is 56 x 66 feet with 24 -
foot posts. On the first day tea
was served to 250 persons, and
on the second day, over 200
partook of the hospitality of
Mr. and Mrs. Snell.
Thomas Turnbull and John

fellow except on visitors'• day.
Then, while most of the prison-

this fellow stayed- alone in his
cell.
One visitipg day, the warden
called him into the office.
"Ben," he said kindly, "I -no-'

Don't you have any friends or

"Oh, sure," replied Ben hap-

THE MAR.'S PACE
OTTAWA — Slowly, tortuous.
ly, the House of Commons is
moving toward a better -order-
ing of its business.
The pressure on it to do so
has been building up for yeast
as the number of measures be-
fore it which must be dealt with
has steadily accumulated.
While the length of each ses
si-
•
on haS beceroe !progressively
longer, as has the list of unfin-
ikhed business at prorogatten,
members of the Commons until
recently steadfastly resisted any
move to alter the order of
things so • that Parliament could
move at faster than a snail's
pace.
If it is true that things have
to get worse before they get
better, perhaps there is some
kind of blessing in disguise in
the kind of turbulent, cantan-
kerous and obdurate House that
has existed for the past few
years.
The situation first began to
deteriorate after the election of
June, 1962, when the Conserva-
tive Government was returned
with only a frail minority and
the Social Credit Party sprang
back into a dominant position.
1Jnder the leadership of Les-
ter' Pearson, the Liberal opposi-
tion scented 'blood and moved
in for the kill: It harried and
harassed the Government un-
mercifully and finally brought
it down.
Former Conservative Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker has
never forgotten nor forgiven.
With his head still filled with
tunes of glory, his every wak-
ing moment is spent on cal-
culating how he can again re-
gain the throne.
' In a fashion that is no bet-
ter and no worse than that of
the former Liberal Opposition,
the Conservatives in their turn
have missed no opportunity to
harass the present Government.
!Whuie this is the job of an
opposition, if it is overdone, it
can be carried to the point
where Parliament barley con-
tinues to function. And because
Parliament has functioned so
badly in recent Years — both
because of the way it is or-
ganized and the tactic:a .that
have been employed—there has
been growing public pressure
for reform which has made it-
self felt on all parties.
In any House of Commons,
the speaker has an important
role to fill. Because his ap-
pointinent is of a. temporary
nature and because he is be-
hOlden to the Government of
the day for his future, he comes
to the Office suspected by the
opposition. Lacking the auth-
ority that goes with an . ap-
pointea who has some perman-
ence in the office, as -in Britain,
he must seek always to lead
the House by consent.
One Of the best to , occupy
the chair in years was Roland
Michener. Appointed on the
nomination of Prime Minister
Diefenbaker when the Conserv-
atives came to office in 1957,
he carried out his duties with
wisdom, wit, urbanity and great
patience.
Had the Liberals not contest-
ed his seat and in. the event
defeated him in 1962, Mr. Mich-
ener would _probably have be-
come the first permanent
speaker. The prospect of being
compelled to re -appoint him
was regarded with extreme dis-
tasre5 by Mr: Diefenbaker, who
came to regard his non-partisan
handling of the Commons as
outrageous.
With the defeat of Mr. Mich-
ener, Mr. Diefenbaker was free
to nominate Marcel Lambert of
Edmonton as his successor.
Lacking both wit and wisdom,
Mr. Lambert sought to apply
the rules more rigidly -than had
ever been done before long be-
fore he had begun to win the
confidence of the opposition. In
the process he only added to
the turmoil -in an already tur-
bulent House of Commons.
When the Liberals called Par-
liament together in May of last
year, Prime Minister , Pearson
proposed the appointment of
Alan Macnaughton, a Montreal
lawyer who had already estab-
lished a reputation for fairness
and impartiality as the Chair -
Man of the Public Accounts
Committee which operated tin-
der the Conservative regiXne.
Mr. Macnaughton did not re-
peat the mistake of Mn Lam-
bert, that of attempting to lin-
pose an oyerly rigid discipline
on the Commons long before he
had won the confidence of the
opposition. Instead, he appear-
ed to have made the opposite
mistake, that of continuing to
be too 'lenient in directing the
affairs" of the. House.
But if he often exasperated
observers and members alike,
he has accomplishments to his
credit that may be of lasting
importance.
Working persistehtly and pa-
tiently behind "the scenes with
the all -party committee on pro-
cedure and organization, Mr.
Macnaughton has acted as a
catalyst _to bring about a traps.
formation in the handling of
commons business.
One of the most time-constun-
ing processes in the House is
that of the question period each
day. By securing agreement
from all parties that he should
be given enhanced power to de-
termine which questions are in
order, the Speaker's authority
has been strengthened consid-
erably.
One of the most important re-
forms that could be agreed up-
on is that of allocating time be-
forehand which is to be devot-
ed to debate on any particular
measure.
Long in practice in the Unit-
ed Kingdom, it has been pro-
posed, but never adopted in
Canada for a variety of reasons,
the principle ane being -the re-
luctance of the opposition to
have its hands tied in any way.
Over the past few months,
the committee on Conunons pro-
cedure has been led up to the
point of agreement on this pro-
vision a number of times by
Mr; Macnaughton, but at the •
last moment the Conservatives
have always -pulled away be-
cause ' of their suspicion that,
in some way they do not quite

keep warm. Father achieved
the same end by relinquishing
the purse -strings to that brave,
little woman with a heart of
gold and a will of iron—Mom.

PEAR 01.0 DAD
Piqbayly the biggest piece of
pure Poppycock on our calm -
(Jar is the Sunday in June des-
ignated as Father's Day.°
It is almost as silly as cele-
brating the birthday of Queen
'Victoria (on the nearest Mon-
day), or adopting that pretty,
but uninspiring thing, ! t h e
maple leaf, as our flag symbol.
That's becattse, like queen's
birthdays and flags, fathers are
anachronisms, things that be-
long to the dear, dead past of
empires and gallantry and fam-
ily solidarity.
The empire has disappeared,
the flag has become something
to quibble about, and fathers
have turned into cartoon char-
acters.
We have become increasing-
ly a mother -dominated society.
But in trying to prove that
Mom doesn't have clay feet, we
have casually accepted the the-
ory that father has a dough
head.
The word "father" is never
used any more, as a term of
address. The only place it
crops up is in sociological and
psychological terms, such as
"father image" or "father fig-
ure."
It's been a wild swing of the
pendulum, and it is a sad and
bitter thing, this degeneration
from Father to Daddy, but I
can't help pointing out that we
have brought it upon ourselves,
chaps. •
. The Trojans opened' the gates
and dragged in that big, wooden
horse The Arab let the camel
stick his nose into the tent, to
•
understand, they are being had.
But if agreement is not Secur-
ed now, it seems almost inevit-
able that it will be in the fore-
seeable future, because the
pressures on all parties to re-
fOrm and streamline the way in
'which the House of Commons
goes about its busineas have be-
come virtually irresistible.
Next, he began to listen to
a lot of third-rate tripe, mostly
in the form of articles in wo-
inen's magazines. Thus, he fell
prey to such clap -trap as "fam-
ily togetherness" and "being a,
pal" to his children, and "talk-
ing things out" with his wife.
Then, under the bullying of
his wife and the relentless
heckling of his children, he
forsook principles for posses-
sions, and happily hopped
aboard the treadmill of prov-
ing that he could bring home
as much bacon . as the poor,
harassed, coronary -bound char-
acter next door.
Slaving like a pet pony, and
attacked for it by his family,
he was still eicpeeted to help
with the dishes, mow' the lawn,
entertain at parties arranged by
his wife, and drive 300 miles
on the weekend to visit rela-
tives.
Thus the comfortable paunch
which was a measure of
Father's success became Dad-
dy's pot -belly,• a sign that he
wasn't doing his 5BX. Thus,
Father's ominous look and cuff
on the ear became Daddy's
whine that he would cut off the
allowance, Thus .Father's Ma-
jestic carving of the family
roast became Dad's inept spoon-
ing out of the meatballs smoth-
ered in canned mushroom soup.
Not a pretty picture? Right.
•What are you going to do about
it, Jack? Will you join me in
trying to convert dithering
Daddy into fearless Father?
Shall we grow beards, get rid
of the blubber, pound the kids
onoe a week, and tell the old
lady we're gping fishing when
we damnwell feel like it? -
What's that? You agree, and
yon'll join the movement on
Monday, but right now you
have to help Mom do the shop-
ping? All right. Don't say,you
weren't asked.

Along about 1886, publishers joined with representatives of
allied trades in voluntarily adopting common standards of printer's
measurements. This is called the "point system." Today, point,
pica, and agate line are rigidly defined units of measure
universally understood and used in our industry.
In 1914, publishers joined with representatives of advertisers
arid advertising agencies, and once again' voluntarily adopted a
common set of standards — this time, to measure circulation
values. Further, publishers cooperated in setting up an
anization to maintain these standards,
and to use them in measuring and
reporting the circulations of publications.
In helping to set up 'this organization,
• publishers willingly gave advertisers and
. advertising agencies majority voice in its operation, its
standards, and its application of these standards in measuring circulations.
This year the Audit Bureau of Circulations marks its fiftieth year
of providing the basic measures of circulation values. Along with more
than 4,000 other members, we pause with pride to salute the
accomplishments of this outstanding example of self-regulation in industry.
ines,
Through the reports issued by the Audit Bureau of Circulations, we,
along with other ABC publisher members, voluntarily and
regularly give you, the buyers of advertising, more verified factual
informatiri about ourselves than is available for any other
media at any time.
The distribution of your sales messages in this newspaper is a
measured . fact, verified by independent audit. Measured, facts also
provide the basis for our advertising rates.
Whether you use inches or points, ABC is your
yardstick for measuring circulation values.
