A. Hume, in the Cana- dian Liberal. Mr. Hunte is Parliamentary writer for the Ottawa Evening Citizen.) St. Laurent Liberal government candidates in the forthcoming fed- eral election may take pardonable pride in the spectacular trans -Can- ada pipe line project. Prime Minister St. Laurent, in Parliament on February 21, said there are certain matters concern- ed with the pipe line he would be glad to discuss at any time it may be appropriate to do so. "I can assure the House." Mr. St. Laurent added, "that I am very happy with what discussion of the pipe line has brought about as a de- velopment in Canada." As a press correspondent in Ottawa for 28 years past, I have not the slightest hesitation in mak- ing the confident prediction that. company officials had been given in the years to come, the pipe line options to purchase about 50,000 to bring Alberta gas eastward shares each of company stock at through Saskatchewan and Mam- $8 per share compared with the toba to Ontario and Quebec—the price of $10 a share to the pub - longest gas pipe line in the world sic. —will be recognized as a great "Go Forward, Canada!" develop- ment. Events which have taken place since the emotional, political de- bate in the House of Commons last May -June have only served to con- firm the forward-looking progres- sive res - sive stand taken by the St. Laur- ent government at that time in sponsoring the measure. Tories and Socialists on Defensive In the coming election campaign it will be the Socialist and Con- servative parties who will likely be kept busy explaining and just- ifying to the electorate their stub- born, shortsighted opposition in battling the government legisla- tion every step of the way. The smaller Social Credit group in the Commons backed the pipe line bill as an urgent, construc- tive, contribution to Canada's booming economy. Company Has Required Capital 6. The company's financing ear- ly this year has provided the com- pany with all the capital it re- quires to complete construction of all sections of the pipe line for which it is responsible to carry gas east to Montreal by the end of the construction season in 1958. This Montreal completion date is the one originally planned and there is every expectation it will be met successfully. 7. Pipe line construction thus far completed has demonstrated that the company has the best available, qualified engineers, con- tractors, et al, to carry through construction on 'a successful, eco- nomical basis. Late in February, Stanley Knowles (C.C.F., Winnipeg North Centre) sought to make political capital out of the fact that two Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe explained that the giving of such stock op- tions to ranking company officials is a recognized practice in the financing of private companies. That such options were outstand- ing was shown, Mr. Howe pointed tabled in Par- liament , in documents as early as May 9, last. The stock options were given to the two company officials two years before the government reached its financing agreement with the company last May. The two officials had relinquished per- manent positions and large finan- cial interests with two well estab- lished oil companies to link their fortunes with Trans Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. at a time when its fu- ture was highly problematical. Due to the flurry of buying of Company stock when it was first offered to the public in February, the company's stock rose to around Considerable progress has been $24 a share. made since June 7, 1956, when Royal Assent was given the gov- ernment bill launching the trans - Canada pipe line project as fol- lows: 1. Much of the actual construc- tion of the pipe line from Alberta to Winnipeg has been completed. A regrettable United States steel strike for several weeks last sum- mer prevented the scheduled de- livery of necessary 34 -inch pipe from Pittsburg for this western section. Construction resumed this spring and will be completed in a few months. 2. The company—Trans Canada Pipe Lines Ltd.—was so successful in securing signed contracts for the delivery and consumption of Al- berta gas along the route east to Montreal that earlier planned ex- port of 200.000.000 cubic feet of gas daily to the United States from Emerson. Manitoba. no longer be- A Lot of Hypocrisy Talked At that, however, it is still only a case of "paper profits" for the two company officials because they would have to sell their stock to cash in on the profit and ranking company officials are supposed to retain their stock interest in the company employing them in high executive posts. When John Diefenbaker, leader of the Conservative free enterprise party, supported Mr. Knowles' crit- icisms of the stock options, Social Credit Leader Solon Low pointedly quipped—"There has been a lot of hypocrisy talked about these stock options." Mr. Diefenbaker and Conserva- tive candidates are not likely to discuss the pipe line project on its merits in the coming campaign. Instead, they are likely to prate and prattle. as they did in the Commons debate last spring, in came essential to the economics bitter, extravagant teems, that of the project. If this bloc of gas Prime Minister St. Laurent and the is not exported to the States. that much more gas will be available for sale to service rapidly expand ing industrial and domestic mar- ' kets in Central Canada. Obligations Paid Before Due centrated their fire on repetitious points of order, interminable dis- cussions thereon, formal appeals from rulings of the chair, fictitious questions of privilege, motions to adjourn the house, and time -wast- ing recorded divisions. In all, dur- ing the month the pipe line mea- sure was before the Commons, there were 70 recorded divisions, each division consuming about a half hour of valuable time. The C.C.F., policy -wise stood for public ownership and control of the gas pipe line. But they failed to press their views with any vig- or or convincing argument because they knew they were alone in the minority in this connection. Closure was invoked, four times, by the government in the pipe line debate. Closure is a frequently used instrument in the United Kingdom Parliament, known as "the Mother of Parliaments", as a bulwark of democracy. Closure has been used much less frequent- ly in the Canadian Parliament, but that fact does not prevent its use on limited, emergency occasions. Closure did operate to limit de- bate somewhat, but Hansard and the press showed clearly that, for days and days on end, discussion went on. It was wholly the choice of the Conservative and C.C.F. members that they concentrated on procedural matters rather than on the merits or the demerits its of the government's pipe line policy. Accepts Call Rev. George D. Watt, B.A., minister of the United Church charges of Dungannon and Nile, has accepted a call to $t. Pa>yll's United Church in a new 'subdi'' - sion west of Oakville, Ont.

The teeth of the machine cut into his head, the back of his shoulder was injured, and he sustained severe chest in- juries. Mr. Hardie's condition was said by hospital officials at the Wingham General Hospital to be satisfactory. — Wingham Advance - Times. No Lack of Frankness Prime Minister St. Laurent, who moved two of the four closure mo- tions, frankly stated that the gov- ernment decided to take the re- sponsibility for making use of this infrequent employed instrument because it considered such action was fully justified on the grounds of the urgency of the pipe line bill„ in the national interest. The gov- ernment, Mr.. St. Laurent empha- sized, was completely willing that the Canadian people. in the next election, should pass judgment on the government's pipe line policy and its actions in securing expedi- tious approval by Parliament therefore. Never, at any time, from May 8 (1956) onward when the St. Lau- rent government f ormulated its pipe line policy, was there any lack of frankness or candor on the gov- ernment's part, either with Par- liament or the public, as to the considered urgency of the mea- sure. This applied to the parlia- mentary dead line of June 7, 1956. It was explained that construc- tion of the Alberta -Winnipeg sec- tion had to be commenced by July 1 at the latest, and be pressed with all despatch, to be completed by the end of the construction sea- sons on December 31. 1956. (Sub- sequently, the United States steel strike prevented construction be- ing so completed. In legal terms, that was "an act of God", or "force majeure" something over which the Canadian government and the company had no control). The company needed about two weeks in advance of July 1 to let contracts to six construction firms to lay the western section concur- rently in six sub -sections. These contractor firms had to have some little time to bring in the neces- sary trench -digging equipment of a size and type available only in the United States. And the com- pany had to have the 34 -inch pipe shipped in from Pittsburgh, since pipe of that size has never been made in Canada. Mr. Drew's Absurd Charges government debased Parliament and trampled on democracy by use of closure, etc. Had the public been able to see for themselves, they would have realized that a power-hungry Con- servative opposition last year sought by obstruction to have the will of the vocal minority over- ride the democratic right and re- sponsibility of the Liberal major- ity to govern. Mr. Low called the Conservative and C.C.F. groups "obdurate and ornery." Carl O. Nickle (P.C., Cal- gary South), recognized opposition oil and gas expert in earlier times, was completely repudiated and gagged by his own party as far, as they could apply closure to him personally. Mr. Nickle deeply of- fended his colleagues by his flat assertion—"The Conservative ob- struction tactics are based on political experiency." The Conservatives, under Hon. George Drew as leader last spring, simply could not debate the pipe line project on its merits because of the positive, co-operative stand of the Frost Conservative govern- ment of Ontario. Premier Frost declared that Ontario urgently would need Alberta gas by 1960. He was in the federal government corner in favoring continued Unit- ed States capital investment in Canada. And the Frost govern- ment agreed to put up $35,000,000 toward Crown -corporation financ- ing for construction of the vital Northern Ontario section of the pipe line. "Ontario cannot lose a five -cent piece on that invest- ment," Mr. Frost asserted, By the same token. the federal govern- ment cannot lose on its $95,000.000 investment in the corporation. Wanting, needing Premier Frost's active support in the next federal election, Mr. Drew (he lat- er had to resign for health reas- ons) just could not contradict or antagonize Mr, Frost on the pipe line project. 3. The company was able to carry out its private and public financing of about $270,000,000 cap- ital required at this stage. Thus, on February 26. well in advance of the stipulated April 2 date. the company was able to discharge all its financial obligations to the federal government. The com- pany's cheques to the government were for $50.716.603.03, covering a loan of $49,750,000 on construction of the western section., $880,071.40 interest on that loan at five per cent, and $86,531.63 on certain op- erational expenses paid by the government on the company's be- half. The government stipulated that at Least 51 per cent of the com- pany's common voting stock should be offered for sale to Can- adians. In the actual financing, over 60 per cent of such stock was so sold. 4. Construction of the pipe line from the Manitoba border east to Kapuskasing has been commenc- ed. This section is the responsi- bility of the Northern Ontario Pipe Line Crown Corporation which was established through $95,000,000 capital put up by the federal government and $35,000,000 capital put up by the Ontario gov- ernment. When completed this year, this middle section will be rented to the company on a 21 - year least on terms covering con- struction cost and depreciation, yielding the two governments 3.5 ,per cent interest on their respec- eive.investments in the corpora- tion. Provision also was made for the -company to purchase this North- ern Ontario section of the pipe line on mutually acceptable terms. To complete sueh later purchase, tile` eon pan3' will live , l+li rale . abouts $1.30;600,000 additional caplta'l.

The maxi- mum figure in the salary schedule has not been raised for two years, although the minimum has increas- ed twice.

"R";�BkCss re: gozakni TO Obstruction Thus the Conservative and CCP. groups, rather than use! the avail- able time of 16 days or more to discuss the pipe line project on its merits, chose to resort to di- versionary, obstructionist tactics from the .procedural angle.

(In the end. the Senate had only about two days' time). The government, willing at all times to give all possible informa- tion on its pipe line policy felt that the most fruitful time for such discussion was in `committee of the whole' examining the operative sections of the bill. Closure was invoked to this end. Further, Prime Minister St. Lau- rent offered to have the Commons' hours of sitting lengthened to per- mit of more `committee of the whole' discussion, but the Con- servatives and C.C.F. heedlessly rejected this latter overture. Bathos is the only word accur- ately to describe opposition charg- es in the pipe line debate that "the government was tearing down Freedom, Democracy and Parlia- ment", much like George Wash- ington is reported to have chopped down a cherry tree. "Guy Fawkes was just a piker compared with Prime Minister St. Laurent," Mr. Drew affirmed at one point.

The teachers and pupils of Grades 6, 7 and 8 in the township, held Arbor Day to coin- cide with the proper time for tree - planting. For decades "arbor day" has been a day in May when school children had a day off from books to plant a tree and learn about nature. Goderich Township pupils did the job up well by plant- ing 6,000 trees. The event was in charge of Zone Forester H. H. deVries, Stratford. Inspector G. G.

YEARS AGONE Interesting items gleaned from The Huron Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago. SKETCH BOOK (By J. R. HOLDEN) By the time this weekly paper has been received into the homes of the readers it will be the day after the opening of the great evangelistic campaign in New York City. During the next three months the world's largest and richest city will be confronted with the evangel as it never has been before. Heading this gospel invasion is Billy Graham, that un- usually gifted and consecrated servant of Christ, who preaches with much certainty. The public meetings willelectentered in iVtadt= son Square Gardens,, but there will be other meetings throughout the Metropolitan area. The witness and efforts of many Christian workers will be involved, as num- bers of volunteers assist the mem- bers of the Billy Graham team. It is encouraging to learn that for two years, fifteen hundred Protestant churches of various denominations have been prepar- ing for this great spiritual cam- paign. Yet it is strongly realiz- ed that ultimate success depends upon the working of the Holy Spir- it, and so great emphasis has been placed on prayer. As the campaign swings into action, some groups are meeting for night -long prayer sessions. - There are, of course, many sin- cere Christians in New York, but in this great. city there are to be found many evils, and the spiritual need of multitudes of her people is a burden on the .hearts of those who are directing and assisting in. this crusade. Christians every- where might well pray for a spiri- tual awakening in this world capi- tal which will bring thousands up- on thousands to Christ, and exert an influence for good which will be felt throughout the world. land, has been sold to Mr. George Graham, of Mitchell, for $1,900.

It should not mean' a lot of hard work, fa- tigue and frustration. And with a little discretion, planning and the proper use- of reasonably priced and available labour savers, gar- dening will be an interesting re- creation and not a chore. To keep it so the beginner is ad- vised --'to keep - -operations • -within_ reason and simple, or in plainer words, not to bite off more than he can chew with pleasure. It is far better to have a small garden which one can keep clean and healthy, than a great big one where the weeding, thinning and cultivating never gets done or at least finished. The beginner is al- so advised to introduce brand new varieties a few at a time, not to experiment with a dozen complete- ly' new varieties in a single season. Like a good book or record collec- tion, the garden is best built up gradually with a few new things added each year. And one should always remem- ber that in this day and age with gardening as with almost anything else, there are all sorts of devices to make things easier. There -are chemicals that kill weeds and bugs. There are special fertilizers that build up the soil. There is a wide range of hand tools that make weeding, cultivation quick and ef- fective. And there are garden tractors, power lawn mowers, sweepers, garden carts that get the tough jobs done in a twinkling. A SMILE OR TWO 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Little Jennie said to her neigh- bor, "You don't keep roomers at your house, do you?" The neighbor answered, "Why, of course not, Jennie. Why did you ask that?" Jennie said, "Oh, I just over- heard Mama telling Papa that you're always running around with your rumors." A man and two children enter- ed a restaurant and ordered three plates and three glasses of water. Then they produced sandwiches and began to eat. "Here," roared the "what are you doing?" "And who are you?" man._ "I'm the manager." "Good,"said the man. "I was just going to send for you. Why isn't the orchestra playing?" manager, least two or three times. In vege- tables for instance, they w11 only use up a third or quarter of their seed and garden space Lie first. week -end, then 10 days or two, weeks later make another plant- ing and 10 days later again an- other. With such quick growing. things as beans, carrots, lettuce and beets, they make regular' planting right up to mid-July and they also use with standard vege- tables like corn, beans and peas ea- r1y, medium and 7a`te varieties. In this way the harvest is spread over months instead of days. Quick Bloomers While no gardener would want all of his garden to bloom early,. leaving nothing for late summer and fall, still it is nice to know what will rush to bloom fast from spring planted seeds. Here are the quickest annuals to flower: Alys- sum, Candytuft, Clarkia, Linaria, Nemophila and Dwarf French Mar- igolds. Split -Levels Instead of grumbling about an uneven location for the lawn and grounds about the home, the smart gardener will turn any differences in level into an intriguing asset. This is especially true where the in size. isfain layout generous Y Y Instead of trying to make the lawn dead level or on an exact slope, he will build it in two or more dis- tinct levels. Then these are con- nected with a bit of stone wall or a clump'of shrubbery or trees, or a flower garden, trellis or hedge and perhaps a path and a set of a few steps. These breaks here and there, provided there is a real reason for them like a change in slope, add great interest. On fair- sized grounds one should not be able to see everything from one position. It is far more exciting to have to move about so that the full beauty and interest of the grounds unfold. Spread Them Out Canadians are supposed to be a pretty cautious sort of people but when it comes to gardening they have a tendency to rush things. It is all very well to get some flowers and vegetables planted ex- tra early and of course the sooner nursery stock and grass seed are in the better. But with a great many flowers and vegetables and in all but the farthest north parts of the country, one should. plant gradually. Experienced gardeners w h o want to get the most of their vegetables and the longest display of bloom from their flowers make a regular practice of sowing at asked the $ $ From 'The Huron Expositor May 19, 1882 Mr. Andrew Govenlock's store at Winthrop was entered by burglars on Tuesday night of last week.
