4. Foster public cynicism about

I suggest that this last point is not the least distressing result of Agriculture Minister Jimmy Gar- dinar's edtoris to keep the Liberal Party on the rails in the wheat country. Anyone who could have sat in the Commons gallery derr- mg the last three weeks, as I did, and not grow cynical must be naive indeed.

Throughout the entire debate, with Tories as well as Grits, So- cial Crediters as well as Social- ists, votes were the common de- nomlnator.

and parlia-

lt the western farmers are en- ritied to this 565 million handout. the Liberals adduced no conclusive evidence to prove it to the satie- lution of the easternera who will have to pay most at the bill.

Hundreds of thousands out words from Liberal Cabinet Ministers and back benchers boiled down to the fact that the politicians-Cam adian end British-had led the western farmers to believe they were going to get more for their

u wheat which was sold to Britain thin they actually did get. "In- pectatioas" were built up in! their minds. as Prime Mlnlsterst. Laur- ent put it. And the Government was determined to see that those expeotahons were met.

The cost ilgures out at about 82 nrililions tor every wheat belt ant. or which the Liberals hold

And what or the niiiicial Owen- tion? The Progressive Conserva- tives didn't want to bring the wrath of Western voters down on their headl. so they adroitly straddled the fence. They .voted against the SO million. to pla- cate eastern Tories, but they ex- plained to western Tories that they wanted the wheat Iarsners to get all that was coming to them-- and the Government hadn't prov- cn that S05 million was all.

And the OCT? Without prairie support it wquld scarcely exist. So despite the fact that it's the political arm of a large section of eastern organized labor. it plugged hand for the farmers. It demand- ed a S375 million handout... not a measly :65 million!

when the CC? motion to in- crease the subsidy came to a vote, two COF'ers dipped quick-ly out of the chamber to avoid having to vote. They were Clarie Gillis ol the coal mining constituency of Cape Breton South, and H. W. Her-ridge out Kootenay West, B.C.l

The Social Credit members, AI- bertans all, had nothing to lose politically by supporting first the ocr motion and then the Libcrals' S65 mill-ion handout.

Once through the Commons, thgpmppronpr-iation Bill went no

Senate--that august body which Sir John A. Maodonald once called "the sober second thought In legislation." Despite the elfoi-ts of eight Liberal Senators. the rest of those sober second thinkers didn't have enough guts to throw the larcenous Money Bill back in

the Commons' face.

strange But True

37 r. n. uuannu

The earth is a stone dwelling. the upper" surface loose and mov- able. while under this loose ma- terial we come upon enduring foundations. But. the study of the lease surface materials is lull or interest. F use their presence renders the earth habitable. . . The only diiference between is pebble and a cobble-stone is that the pebble is the smaller at the two. . . Boulders are so named because these stones are round like balls cr bolls; and being loose on the surface, are apt to be bowl- ed about. . . .

The largest boulders may be seen in Northern New England and in Canada; and the further south you travel the fewer bculders you will find. . . Geologist C. H. Hitchcock of New Hampshire tells us that the Churchill Rock of Nottingham is 62 feet long. so feet wide and 40 feet high. This enor- mous rock contains 75,000 cubic feet, and weighs 6,000 tons.

At Fall River, Mass, is a boul- der weighing 5.400 tons, while in N. W. T. there's a quartzite bcul- der ia feet long. 40 feet wide and 20 feet. high. . . . It is inter- esting to note that boulders exist at various altitudes, from the level of the sea, to the height of five or six thousand feet. The great boulder in the North west Territory. Canada, stands 3,260 feet above sea-level while the Pierre a Cct, in the Alps range, is 800 feet above sea level. . . . And "be- lieve it or not", rocks travel about, many of them having moved more than 200 miles since civilization.

. Glaciers oorne into being as the result of accumulated gran- ular snow belts on mountains which. when partly warmed by the sun, became completely chang- ed into ice. . . . The deepest snow bank ever measured stands beside the mountain known as "A-ghee-roosj", near Geneva. The monarch snow mountain is 1,500 ieet high. Near its base is a. fath- onrless crevasse, in which a num- ber cf persons have been lost. This is the "Gronde crevasse", which once blocked all approaches to the A-gee-Rooafs summit. but now and then it becomes sufficiently crust- ed over to serve for a passage way. Like rocks, glaciers are always on the move. In 1820. eight persons lost their lives when they fell into the Grande crevasse at the loot of the dome of Mt. Blane. In 1861. their skeletons came in light near the termination or the glacier. Thus it may be seen that in 40 years their bodies had traveled 26.- 000 to 29.000 feet or 680 feet a. year. As they were buried some zoo ieet beneath the surface. it appears that 200 feet had melted down from the dome of the glacier in the same interval. Further proof or the oontinuous movement of glaciers may be gleaned from the following figures checked up by geologist Forbes. namely that the glacier des Bots moves at the rate of 250 rfeet per annum. while a second almcier. the Aar. had a mo- tion or 209 feet in a single year. The average yearly rain and snow falls would, if equally distributed over the earth's surface. amount to 34,480 barrels on every acre. Hall a century ago. the traveler passing along the highways or this province, could count hundreds of springs discharging their pure waters into nearby brooks and rivers. In fact, all of our brooks were supplied by springs many of which no longer exist.

one or the largest springs in the U. 5. A. is near Ann Arbor. Michi- gan. This mammoth spring pro- vides half a million gallons daily to the city's large population and it hard put. could supply live times this amount. . . . Rocks are composed of minerals. some have two; some three, some four, and some only one. The rock gets
