The most important change in several decades was the decision years ago to limit speakers to 40 minutes and to set a specific hour - p. m.- for the House to end night sittings. later Wednesday was made a half day and since thte present war began Friday sittings also have ended at 6 p. m.

From Ottawa, the National Sal- vage Commlttee of the War Ser- vices Department reported that in the 32 months up to last Dec. 31 about 229,102 tons of salvage had been reported collected, with proceeds reported at 834,981. The emphasis should go on that word “reported” the said, as some of the voluntary committees don't bother sending in their returns.

Bottlenecks

There have been bottlenecks, because the work of collecting Canadian salvage has been spread about among volunteer organiza- tions, with the National Salvage |Committee more an adviser than ‘a governor. For instance. many _cities have been unable to collect fats or glass salvage, because of the intricacies of handling and the shortage of other than vol- unteer, untralnod help. Other cities and towns have collected scrap paper, and found they couldn't sell it unbaled. But generally. the collection of salvage and its direction into the Canad-
