-Getting In Both Ways

When it mines to railway freight rates. the Central Provinces appear to get all the breaks. Where the rates cannot be kept down by competitive truck and water transportation. lines are subsidized in order to provide lower rates than would other- wise be applied. A case in point is noted in the current issue of The Economic Annalist, a publication issued by the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture.

It notes that among the recommenda- tions of the Royal Commission on Trans- portation implenientcd in a series of amend- ments to the Railway Act in December, 1951, was the provision of a subsidy to the railways to maintain the track on their lines running through the ”economie bridge" of Northern Ontario from Sudbury to Fort William and from Cochrane to Armstrong. The analogy of the toll-free canals of Central Canada was cited in the Commission's recommendation. The cost of such maintenance was estimated at seven million dollars per year, and this amount will be paid to the two transcontinental railways, which have in turn reduced rates on traffic passing the whole of the "bridge" by amounts aggregating about that amount of concession to shippers. -

There seems little in common between bombers and milk production but a report from New Zealand indicates that a milk ejection recorder at Ruakara animal re- search station in the Waikato district has turned one to the service of the other. Using equipment from surplus bombers he devised equipment which indicates on a graph each 23 lbs. of milk given. A study of the graph reveals how much milk the cow has given and the time taken. The shape of the graph shows how the cow has reacted during milking.

By this means it should be possible to test the efficiency of milking machines, the reaction of cows to visitors, noise, music and other factors. dislikes of the particular cow can be readily determined.

All of this should not be shrugged aside as being of academic interest only. The whole effort of the dairy industry is di- rected to the production of milk and ac- curate information about the factors con- tributing to or preventing milk production is of very practical value. It. is of little "S9 in E0 to great expense and r:ar&'to im- prove breeding. study and follow scientific feeding practices and provide appropriate barns if the final product, the milk, is to be reduced because, for instance, the cattle don't like the presence of a particular dog, or react differently to soft music and jazz, or because a particular type of milking machine is unsuitable.

The actual findings from the use of this equipment will be of the highest in- terest to dairymen and should contribute even more to their comfort and well-being than to that of the cows.

Functioning Seaway

Often forgotten when the St. Lawrence-

Seaway is discussed. notes an exchange, is the fact that there already is a Seaway used by ocean ships entering the Great Lakes. The proposed project is the en- largement of an existing seaway around the St. Lawrence River rapids alkive Mont- real, together with the development of lrvdro-electric power at the rapids.

The Welland Canal between Lakes On- tario and Eric already is of a capacity to take the larger ocean craft that would pro- ceed beyond Montreal to Lake Ontario after tliedeeper and wider canal around the river rapids is built.

A reminder that ocean vessels do enter the Great Lakes by way of the St. Law. rence comes in the news from Marseille, France. that a ship will take the French flag back to the shores of Lake Michigan for the first time since the days of Pete Marquette and the early French voyagers. The ship, appropriately named Marquette, is fresh from the shipyards. She was de- signed so as to be able to pass the locks on the St. Lawrence. On her first voyage in the near future the Marquette will carry a message from the Mayor of Marseille to the Mayor of Chicago. -

As a matter of record the mounting ocean trade between the Great Lakes and

ports in pwgstem and Mediterranean Di-.

The individual likes and:

rope via the St. Lawrence route will be served this year by 51 foreign-flag, shallow- draft ships according to the New York Times. '

This will be an increase of 11 ships over last year. Services will be operated

by nine Dutch, Holland, French, Swedisli,l

Norwegian and British shipping firms to the Great Lakes. In the enlarged fleet will be six new foreign-built motor ships and three other vessels, including two freighters being operated by a newcomer to the trade. Direct ocean going traffic to the Great Lakes was pioneered in the 1930s by ii Norwegian company.

The Speaker's Arnis

Mr. W. S. Morrison, Speaker of the United Kingdom House of Commons, has found it necessary to apply for a coat-of arms so it can be painted on the panels of the 250-year-old coach in which he will ride on Coronation day. The motto, "The Lord Is My Shepherd", has been incorpor- ated in the arms granted him, written in Gaelic because he is a Scot.

This sidelight on an historic occasion, comments the Ottawa Journal, is a re- minder of the high status of the Speaker in every Parliament modelled on West- minster. The Speaker as the custodian of the dignity and honor of the House of Com- mons is the living emblem of democracy, all his acts governed by the will of the majority and the true tradition of free government.

In olden times, English Speakers their peril defied kings and princes would-be dictators. A Speaker, as said by one who stood by his rights cen-

turies ago, has neither eyes to see nor ears to hear other than the House bids him.

"When Mr. Speaker Macdonald of Can- ada takes his place at the Coronation,” says the Journal, ”he is there for all oft us, the custodian of our democratic privi- leges, his selection as chairman of the Commons approved by all parties. He needs no coat-of-arms (although he could have it as well as Mr. Speaker Morrison) to emphasize the free system of govern- ment of a united nation proud to pay tri- bute to its Sovereign."

, It is it little difficult to reconcile the lagricultural picture described by the Gov- ernment at Ottawa with that depicted by the Opposition. It is probably even more difficult to determine just what effect Gov- ernment policies may have on the greater or less prosperity seen. I I C

It. might seem paradoxical but long awaited Senate reform might be accom- plished by reducing the powers of that body. The present unlimited powers of the Senate to block legislation make it intoler- able that it should do so in defiance of the elected House. Lesser powers might be

more readily used because they would not bring the threat of extinction.

The German people take efficiency very seriously, in studying how the best may be obtained in the most economical and rational way. One of a multitude of their concerns is that there are over 1000 dif- ferent types of spades and shovels in use although an investigation reveals that only six types of shovel and three types of spade are required to do any type of work.

Summerside is up against the problem that for some children there is far too much activity although others take no part whatever in organized sport or other activi- ties. The problem requires that someone go after the youngsters rather than wait for them to join in the offered activities. It is really a parental responsibility but there is obviously plenty of room for as- sistance thst may be offered.

Sir Malcolm Sargent, British conductor, was born this date 1895. Beginning as an organist, he later distinguished himself as a choral and orchestral conductor. In 1928 he accepted the position of conductor-in. chief of the Royal Choral Society. Since then he has held posts as official conductor of the Londonsymphony, Hallo, and Liver- pool Philharmonlc orchestras and has ap- peared in all the principal concert halls of

Decline Of Breakfast

(The London Times)

Nothing brings out mom mik- ingly the lelsured tempo of the com.'forta.ble classes in the past than their addiction to entertaining one

another and to table-talking at breakfast. Shelley grumbled at dimers convivial and political,

suppers of epic poets, teas where small talk dies in agonios, and breakfasts professional and criti- cal. But. his more genial contem- poraries-and their ctcsc-:ndants' for two or three generations- seem to have faced. with alacrity and appetite, enormous meals as soon as they got. out of bed. There was no nonsense about thin toast, coffee, and grapefruit juice. The main table groaned under the bur- den of solid cold food, and the side tables had sizzling dishes of eggs and bacon, chops and kidneys. Tea and coffee urns were on parade and so, in the most. hospitable houses, were various decanters. The present age, iiotalgic though it. is over gormandizlng, does not breed the men and women who could face that. ordeal and at. the some time hold their own in the sparkling conversation. Changing conditions have divid- ed the nation into two camps at breakfast. The ascetic and the trappist. one holds that. silence is golden at. that hour. The degen- erate survivors of the old tradi- tion are ready to exchange dani- tory comment on the news and to tackle a small, square meal. But. all are agreed that home is the best place to be in before the day's work begins. An invita- tion to I. brea.kfs.st. party, even at. the weekend, would no longer be generally welcomed. As for the grappling with affairs of state while chins are still feel- ing the razor. it. must. surely be a relief to living politicians that Mr. Churchill has not revived the practice of Lloyd George. Break- fast, its most loyal champions argue, is the meal that follows the longest fast; and comes before the longest; spell of toll in the day They treat. it with qualified serious- ness d others enjoy, when they get the chance, lingering over it.

STUMPING MACHINE

"On Wednesday last, a number of ladies and gentlemen assembled at Government House, by invita- tion, to witness the operation of a Stumping Machine, lately con- structed under the direction of His Excellency the Lieutenant Governor (Sir Henry Vere Hunt- ley). It appears to be a simple, effective and economical con- trlvance. A suitable piece of ground having been selected, the machine-worked by a single horse, and attended by two or three men-was brought into op- eration, under the immediate superintendence of His Excellency, and though working to some dis- advantage, owing to the inexperi- ence of the men employed and the unfinished and incomplete state of some parts of the gear, several stumps-some measuring from twelve to fourteen inches in diameter at the top-were taken out, with all the roots attached. in a remarkably short space of time-a few second: only being required for each, after the ad- justment of the purchase.

"We have no doubt that, with some slight improvements in the gear, this machine, which we un- derstand will cost. about f5, may be made eminently serviceable to farmers generally, and will great- ly facilitate the clearing of new land of those troublesome articles of stumps; and we cannot help expressing our conviction that the agricultural part of the commu- nlty especially will feel deeply in- debted to His Excellency for his praiseworthy exertions in en- deavouring, by means so simple, to lessen the time and labour usually occupied in this tedious process. This useful article may be seen on application at Gov- ernment 1-louse.

"After testing the powers of the machine, with the utllity and efficiency of which the gentle- men present expressed themselves fully satisfied, a luncheon was provided for the guests at Gov- ernment House, of which about sixty ladies and gentlemen par- took. The party then separated, highly gratified with His Excel- lency's kindness and condescen- sion."
