particularly to transportation‘ matters. He is not alone in noting and commenting on the fact that our elected representatives have been singularly

silent when it comes so pressing Illlnd 8Y1"- ariees in the House. Mr. Gillie, C.C.F. member for Cape Breton South, had occasion to refer t0 this matter, and so did the Liberal editor of Toronto Saturday Night. For whatever reason. our Illlnd mqnbefl, gpgt from Defense Mm- ister Ralstou, are dumb, and our interests at Otmwa suffer accordingly.

Dr. Grant's explanation for this state of af- fairs is the limitation on Liberal specchmaking. due to the urifirocedentedly large Liberal fol- lowing in the ouee. That is something which the electors should endeavor to remedy st the first opportunity! Meantime, while conceding the force of Dr. Grant's argument that only a limited time is available t: privlatebicnembers sup-

p n; the informal discussions in committee. where the business of the House is actually done, members can speak as often as they like and our Island members are practically the only ones who do not avail themselves of this oppor- tunity when matters affecting their Province are being discussed. It hes been on these occasions that Mr. Hanson and other Conservative mem- bers from other Provinces have taken up the ciidgcls on our behalf, while our own members sat tongue-tied.

Food Rationing

Anticipating the probability of more extensive rationing of food 1n Canada before the war 1e over, the Financial Poet puts forth a timely plea for keeping the system as simple as possible. Undoubtedly some superlatively fancy food ra- tioning will be proposed. As an example of what can happen, the U.S. book of rules for rationing of gasoline and rubber alone is a heavy one of 81 pages. Britain has had more experience with food rationing than any other Anglo-Saxon community. That experience covers the i914 war and all of this.

One of the food rationing problems which brings fortili the fsnciest and most complicated problems, says the Post, is how to rahon restaur- ant eaters. The argument is advanced that it would be unfair to ration meat and staple foods and permit those, who were able snd.could sf-r ford it, so sat without stint restaurants,

Britain has gone through l this argument and has deliberately adopted the present system in which there is no rationing on restaurant meals. Lord Woolton, Britain's Minister of Food, ve a fins repreerestetive his seasons.

If f: vvor rig members of a family must produce food ration tickets for everything they

eat in public restaurants, they use up a sub- stantial proportion of the family supply. In the last war, when Britain did ration restaurant meals, it was found that the avenge housewife had the greatest difficulty in making up balanc- ed meals with the coupons left over for home use. Hence the present system, instead of being unfair to housewives and those who stay home, actually melnl that balanced, satisfactory home meals can be planned. The second reason for unrationed restaurant meals is that experience has shown abundantly that food eaten “off the ration"—-that is to say served in bulk-is much more economically used than food served in the homo. Restaurants, factory canteens, food cafeterias, etc., extract much more food value per pound out of the sup- plies they get than does the average housewife. They have larger quantities to deal with and they can plan better. Therefore Britain has saved

i

The smallness of roputedl big men. The Rt. Hon. Mr. Bevin, Britain's Minister of Labour, impressed with the work and evident ability of Mr. Elliott M, Little, Director of National Sel- ective Service, invited him to London for s. per- sonal oonfsrence. The sequel is given by the Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette, who says Mr_ Mitchell, accompanied by Mr. Bryce M. Stewart, his deputy departed for Lon- don suddenly without advance announcement. “According to reports current licre, the Minis- ter notified Mr. Little only ten minutes before he set off for the voyage across the ocean, af- ter having been previously told by Mr, Little that he (Mr. Little) had been invited to g0 lo Britain by Hon. Ernest Bevin, British Labor Minister."

An interesting correspondence has arisen in The Scotsman, Edinburgh, out of Mr. Churc- hill’s reference to his former Scottish constitu- ency as “Bonnie Dundee." The phrase is fam- iliar of all through Scott's song bearing this title, but the "Bonnie Dundee" of that song is Vis- count Dundee, the historic figure of john Gra- ham of Claverhousc, who was as intensely laud- ed by one side in the old controversy as he was hated by the other. On his allusion to the jute city as "Bonnie Dundee" some of Mr. Chur- chill's hearers jumped to the conclusion that he had made a fans" pa: in the application of the phrase, but Mr. Churchill is too shrewd a stu- dentofhi sndlitenturstofsllintosirdian error. The rlse "Bonnie Dundee" was in ess- istcnoe before Gmhairrfs day, and was applied to the city itself, as a song to be found in “The Dancing Master" of 1688, before Graham was made Viscount Dundee, proves beyond all ques- 3m.

e e e e Evidently the Bible Study Course authorized

sailing if _we are to believe the Rev. S. S. Stock of Madison Bspdst Church, Montreal. As examples Mr. Stock said that a teacher in Mon- treal West High School in class denied absolute- ly the divinity of Jesus Christ. Other examples which he cited were: A Montreal High School teacher told her pupils that she believed thnt we were descended from fish, rather than from monkeys. Another Montreal High School teach- er asked her class to raise their hands if they be- lieved in the Bible. Some raised their hands, others did not. The teacher then said the/t the Adam and Eve story happened too long ago to be pfvvud, and therefore, could not be taken as true_ A teacher from Mount Royal High School stated that miracles, as recorded in the Old Testa-

she also said that she did not believe the Genesis story. Here surely an instances where if ignor- ance or the Bible is bliss, it is folly to make the students unorthodoxly wise.

"The time has come," ea s Col. Drew, On-i tu-lo Conservative Leader to tell those who would wish to dissolve the British Empire that there are red-blooded Canadians who are deter- mined that Canada shall not be responsible for the liquidation of that great partnership of free nations either- irs whole or in pert." Col. Drew cites the preamble of the British North Am- erica Act, with its stipulated consideration that “such a union would -. . i. promote the interests of the British Empire," and he makes the points that every-right claimed under that contraiz is dependent and contingent upon that condition. And then he says an interesting thing: “that should be taught in our schoo t” Whether or not it was so intended, that sentence implies fed- eral supervision, if not control, of education, That, in turn, implies a change in the Canadian constitution away from piecemeal federalism, and in the direction of solid nationhood. Fed- eral aid for schools has been suggested, during rccciit ivccks, by several speakers whose point has been that the provincially-r-un system is in-

in enormous tonnage of‘ food by encouraging people to eat “off the ration" in restaurants, canteens, etc.
