Crime and Punishment
The city fathers of Spalding, Eng-
land, have arrived at the perfect
punishment—one designed to fit the
offence. If motorists fail to pay their
municipal parking lot charges, the
policemen have instructions to deflate
their tires.
Imagine the consternation such a
procedure would arouse. There
would be no opportunity for excus-
es, for postponement, or for inter-
vention by interested and influential
friends. The motorist didn't pay his
fee; he was guilty; his tires were de-
flated—as simple ps that.
If only the United Nations could
find as ready and simple a punish-
ment for aggressors—and one that
could be applied as quickly—wars
would soon be a thing of the past.

Youth on the Farm
Every once in a while there is a
hue and cry raised concerning the
number of young people that leave
the farm for the city. That there is
good reason for the objections being
raised cannot be denied. Vacant
farms and farms being operated un-
der difficulty because of shortage of
labor, attest to the justification for
the outcry.
We were glad to see that a respon- -
iible organization has recognized the
problem. At a recent meeting of the
Ontario Junior Farmers' Association.
in Toronto, a delegate told the mem-
bers: "A young fellow is crazy to
leave the farm these days. If he's a
farmer's son he should consider him-
self one of the luckiest fellows in the
world."
The young farmer contended a
man starting a farm fromscratch to-
day would need $25,000 in capital be-
fore he could begin to make it pay. A
farmer's son is already set up in busi-
ness if he wants to continue working
for his father and the compensation
is adequate, he said.
"If you look at it this way," he con-
tinued, "it's smart business to pro-
duce something the other fellow is
not producing. And with so many
young fellows leaving the farm to
work in the city; the opportunity for
an aspiring farmer is really great.
All you need is a little initiative. You
don't even need a strong back any
more."
"No occupation offers the inde-
pendent, sociable Life of rural On-
tario. That's why I stay on the
firm," another delegate declared.
"It's big business and it offers a rea-
sonable , income. Unless a man is
particularly adapted to other work,
when he is born on a farm he should
stay there." He claimed no other oc-
cupation trains a boy so completely
from the cradle up. "If a farmer's
son decides to go to the city and find
another job, he has to learn it from
the 'beginning. It 'seems silly to throw
away a life that offers so much sat-
isfaction 'as farming does, he said.
If these attitudes as expressed by
responsible . young farmers are
stressed by organizations such as the
"Junior Farmers Association, much
can be accomplished in curbing the
movementoof farm youth to the cit-
ies.

Census in Canada -
Every ten years, in accordance
with the British North America Act,
Canadians are required to stand up
end be counted.
'rhe Ninth Decennial Census of
Canada,which occurs in June of this
,is based bti fundainental legal
i plisthts dating from Confeder-
zb 1D nder Section 51 of the Brit -
:America Act, 1867, it was
fat: atter the completion of
the census in 1871, and, of gach„plAbse-

Nat

p,wted by such .authority, in such
*Piller and; from Mich tae as the
Parliament of -Canada provided, sub-
ject to certain rules. The chief of
these rules was that the Province of
Quebec should have a „ixed number
of Members (65) and that the repre-
sentationof other provinces in the
House of Commons should bear the
same proportion to the population
of the province as the number 65
bears to the population of the Prov-
ince of Quebec.
In 1946, Section 51 of the British
North America Act was repealed
and a new Section substituted, as fol-
lows:
"The number of Members of the
House of Commons shall be 255 and
the representation of the Provinces
therein shall forthwith, upon the
coming into force of this Section, and
thereafter on the completion of each
decennial census, be readjusted .. .
according to the following rules: (a)
subject as hereinafter provided, there
shall be assigned to each of the prov-
inces the number of Members com-
pud by dividing the total popula-
lation of the provinces by 254 and by
dividing the population of each prov-
ince by the quotient so obtained .. "
This new Section thus did away
with the former provision in the Act
by which the Province of Quebec was
given a fixed representation• for de-
termining the quotient upon which
representation in other provinces
could be calculated. Accordingly, the
membership of the House of Com-
mons was increased from 245 to 255
(including one member from the
Yukon).
Representation of the Province of
Quebec was increased by the 1947 re-
adjustment from; 65 to 73 members,
that of Ontario from 82 to 83, Nova
Scotia from 12 to 13, and *British
Columbia from 16 to 18. Manitoba
and Saskatchewan each lost one seat,
the new representation of the former
being 16 and of the latter 20 mem-
bers. Representation of the remain-
ing three provinces was unchanged,
viz., New Brunswick, 10; Prince Ed-
ward Island, 4, and Alberta, 17. Sev-
en seats were given tt) Newfoundland
on its entry into 'Confederation at
midnight on March 31, 1949, raising
the total membership in the House
of Commons to 262.

Function Of the Press
(St. Thomas Times -Journal)
Every once in a while someone gets
elected and one of the first things he
tries to do is to carry on the town's
business behind closed doors. Af-
ter all, the town's business is the pub-
lic's business and any ratepayer has
a perfect right to attend council
meetings, or committee meetings, and
hear all that goes on. The council
which tries to exclude the public or
the press usually has something to
hide, is trying to put across some-
thing which would not bear close
scrutiny, or to work a favor for a
friend, in some manner. The Press
is the only agency in the world that
is a true custodian of the public's in-
terest, if it fulfils its public obliga-
tions, and because of this 99 per cent
of the residents of any community
look to their local paper to keep them
informed on all topics of general
welfare, and to give guidance in
movements of public welfare.
•Take It Easy
(Sherbrooke Record)
According to Fortune Magazine,
it is the stalky, muscular type of man
who is most susceptible to heart ail-
ments. Lean men and "rotund" fel-
lows are said to be in less danger.
While the round chap parks his
feet on the porch railing and the lean
"string bean" goes quietly and calm-
ly about his business, the stalky, en-
ergetic man is driving ahead like a
fullback.
He lugs his office home in his brief
case, turns every meal but breakfast
into a business conference, punishes
himself further by skipping vaca-
tions and free week -ends. To make
up for all this he may dash to his
club or gym once a week to cram his
exercise into the shortest possible
time.
It is hard to tell whether he is com-
peting against his ,colleagues, his
business rivals or himself. Which-
ever it is, too often he loses , .. with

Rich in Ritual Symbolism
0'0
(By Robert W. Needham,; Free Press Staff Writer, in the London
• Prep Press) •
areiessereeseeeeerteareeereemetemeeeeteenesteeetereeetereeeereeetesesereseeteer-
A�,c,ross the frozen Ottawa River,
the'roar of a 21 -gun artillery salute
will reverberate from Nepean Point
precisely at three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, January 30.
The royal salute will be for Gen-
eral the Rt: Hon. Viscount Alexan-
der of Tunis, the King's represent-
ative in Canada.
And it will be synchronized with
a similar salute fired by a guard of
honor as,H%s Excellency arrives at
the Peace Tower of the Parliament
Buildings to officiate ate the open-
ing of the fourth session of Can-
ada's 21st Parliament.
The boom of the artillery and
the rattle of the rifles will sound
once again as the governor gen-
eral departs after hs ng read the
Throne Speech in the red -carpeted
chamber of the Senate.
This military—and vice -regal --
ceremonial is the traditional ritual
attending the start of a new ses-
sion of the Houses of Parliament.
And it sets in motion not only
the nation's legislative machinery,
as reflected in bills and debates,
motions and divisions, but also a
smoothly -functioning dual organiza-
tion consisting of Senate and Com-
mons establishments, each with its
own load of lore and time-honored
traditions.
While the richest of all parlia-
mentary pagenatry attends the op-
ening and closing of parliamentary
sessions, there is, each day of ses-
sional life, a continuous parade of
quiet and unobtrusive ceremony
that has its roots in antiquity, in
centuries-old tradition.
It is this little round of historic
rites and observances that serves
as a constant reminder that the
democratic way of life is precious
—and perishable; that the right of
the people to govern their own af-
fairs was attained and established
only after struggle, and bitter con-
test.
Canada's Houses of Parliament,
in rote and rite and rule, are pat-
terned miter the Mother Parlia-
ment at Westminster, although
there is admittedly a number of
variations.
Responsibility for much of the
ceremonial and symbolism of par-
liament falls upon two officials—
the sergeant -at -arms in the House
of Commons and the Gentleman
Usher of the Black Rod in the
Senate.
The functions of these prime par-
ticipants in parliamentary pagean-
try, however, extendfar beyond
ceremonial and ornamental roles.
The duty of the former is to at-
tend the Speaker of the Commons,
to execute his 'orders and to carry
the Mace. But more than that, in-
to his care is given the "general
housekeeping" of the Commons, --
from the furnishing of the rooms
and offices to the appointmeet of
temporary constables, msehgers,
pages and laborers such as the ser-
vices of the House might require.
Virtually parallel are the duties
of the Black Rod when translated
in terms of the Senate. Upon both
Black 'Rod and Sergeant -at -arms
devolves the responsibility of re-
moving from their respective cham-
bers any member "named" by the
Speaker and ordered expelled.
* * *
Visitors to Parliament manifest
most interest, perhaps, in the Mace
and its significance. And of all
the symbols of Parliament none is
more potent, none so awakens his-
toric associations.
The Mace is the symbol of auth-
ority in the Commons. It is a
large, heavy and richly ornamented
staff earned at the beginning of
eaoh sitting of the house by the
sergeant -at -melte to the 'Commons
chamber, where it is placed in spe-
cial brackets at the end of the
clerk's table. And there it must
remain whenever Mr. Speaker is in
the chair. Whenever the Conn
mons resolves itself into a "com-
mittee of the whole" the mace is
removed from the surface of the
fable and placed in special brackets
beneath.
There have been three or four
Maces in the Britiah House. The
original Mace disappeared when
Charles I met his death on the
scaffold in 1649. It neveyr was
traced.
Cromwell ordered another one
made and, curiously enough, this
was the Mace to which the great
"Protector" referred as "that bau-
ble" as he ordered it removed
from the table of the House on
the historic occasion in 1653 when
he summarily dismissed the "rump"
of the Long Parliament.
Incidentally, that 'Mace also dis-
appeared. Years ago it was rumor-
ed that the Mace in use in the leg-
islative Council of Jamaica was
"Cromwell's bauble" but these re-
ports were checked and deemed
spurious.
• • •
,Governor Simcoe acquired in
1792 the Mace to be used for the
first Parliament of Upper Canada
which met at Niagara. It was
made of wood and painted red and
gilt- When the Legislature moved
to York—Toronto—the Mace was
taken there.
During the war of 1812-14, when
the Americans captured York, the
Mace of the House of Assembly
of Upper Canada was seized by
Commodore Cauncey, the com-
mander of the invading force. For
more than a century the Mace was
a trophy of war in the Museum of
the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
Maryland.
It may be recalled that as a
gesture of goodwill, the late Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt per-
suaded Congress to return the
Mace to Toronto during that city's
centenary celebration in 1934.
* • ,•
Virtually nothing is known of
the mace used in Upper Canada
from 1813 to the union of the two
Canadas in 1841.
After union, however, Speaker
Sir Allan MacNab recommended
the purchase of a new one: This
was obtained in 1848, patterned
after the one in use in the British
House. It was used in the union
Parliament in Toronto and Que-'
bee, finally being brought to Ot-
tawa in 1866.
In the disastrous fire that swept
through the PariiamEnt Buildings.
in February of 1916, none thought
of the Mace. Days later, the ruins
of the Commons chamber yielded
up a blackened ball of 'conglomer-
ate with gold and silver content.
This was all that remained of the
Mace,
Sir Charles Wakefield, lord may -
.or of London, and the sheriffs of
London, subsequently obtained
that glob of metal and presented
to Canada another Mace, an exact
replica of the one lost in the fire.
Daily during sessions, the Speak-
er and his suite parade from the
library of the Speaker's chambers
to the Commons, with the serge-
ant -at -arms a striking figure as he
bears the Mace, the symbol of
Commons' authority and of consti-
tutionaI government.

Canadian Eggs Finding
United States Markets
Preferring to sell rather than td
store at present prices, which are
generally 7 to 8 cents above sup-
port levels, for the past few weeks
Canadian producers have been ex-
porting between 15,000 to 20,000
cases of eggs to markets in the
United States, according to a re-
port issued by the Department of
Agriculture's Marketing Service at
Ottawa.

ment officials say .that surpluses
s art to' move into storage to be
ithdrawn in the short production
period in the late summer and fall.
Uaaless there • is some substantial
Pickup in chick orders over that

eries, marketing officials fear that
there may be a scarcity of eggs
during the last half of the year.
Spray For Magnesium Deficiency
In the absence of local cheap
sources of dolomitic limestone, tem-
porary control of magnesium de-
ficiency in apple trees may be ob-
tained by adding magnesium sul-
phate at the rate of 20 pounds to
a 100 gallons of spray to two or
three regular sprays, according to
tests made, last year in Quebec by
the Department .of .Agriculture's
Horticultural Division officials at

France Imports butter
To Stabilize Prices
The French Government has
authorized the importation of 9,000
tons of butter to be retailed at
about 96 cents a pound, to check
the sudden rise in the retail price
which in December had reached a
high of approximately $1.00 per
pound, according to a special re-
port issued by the Department of
Agriculture's Economics Division
at Ottawa.
Promising Legume For Poor Soils
Coniparable to most Obvert, bit
Protein content but higher in fibre,
sanfoin, a long-lived, deep-rooted
legume that is hardy, persistent,
and relatively drought resistant,
may prove to be a useful substi-
tute for alfalfa and clovers in areas
where these crops do not thrive,
say bff'icials in the Department of
Agriculture's Forage Plants Divi-
sion at Ottawa.
Tests extending over a two-year
period at Ottawa show that sau-
foin may yield in excess of 21,c
tons of hay per acre, is one of the
first plants to start growth in the
spring, is attractive to honey bees
as a source of nectar and in a fav-
orable season may produce as
muck as 600 pounds of seed per
acre.
Fewer Grasshoppers Predicted
Cool, wet weather in the fall of
1950 undoubtedly reduced egg Lay-
ing over much of the area where
adult grasshoppers were abundant
Iast summer, and officials in the
Canada Department of Agricul-
ture's Division of Entomology in
the Prairie Provinces report that
the area of infestation is about
one-half of that of 1950, with the
consequent prospect of fewer grass-
hoppers in 1951.
Entomology officials in charge of
the prairie grasshopper surveys re-
port that there are no areas of
very severe infestation, and that
the areas classified as moderate to
severe are less than one-third of
those in 1950. In Manitoba the
outbreak is reported to be confin-
ed to the Red River Valley. In
Saskatchewan and Alberta the
areas of potential infestation are
more Widespread, but the gleater
portion Of the area is a Iight and
patchy infestation which may res
quire little attention unless the
1951 Season is very dry.
