Certainly it was an im- pressive occasion this joint meeting of our un- official Farmers’ Parliament with their own and the Provinces representatives, in presentation ol the most urgent problems facing our most basic Industry. _ ln ganral the brief is commendatory with regard to Government policies, the most mark- ed criticism being about the delay in extending electric power to rural areas. This was under- lined by one of the delegates, Mr. Kenneth Moc- Lcan, of Lot l6, who reminded the House that "we do not want rural electrification in twenty ycars’ time; we do not wont it irf ten years‘ time; we want a start made on it now—this year!" From Hon. Dr. MacMillon came the assur- snco that the Opposition would do everything in lts power to cooperate with the Government in mplementing Federation resolutions — "provided the Government does it properly." There would be no party politics in the matter so for as the Opposition was concerned. He was pleased to note the stand taken in favor of abolishing the property vote, and remindfl the delegation that "no had already made this proposal in speaking on the Draft Address. The Opposition leader was particularly pleased with the resolutions deal- ing with public health, and emphasized the need of psychiatric treatment for subnormal chil- dren as being of special importance. ‘ Premier Jones, while commending thq brief in general, noted that it rnado no particular ref- erence to Education, the most important subiect of all. ln provision for forestry, field men, vet- erinary services and other matters tho Govern- ment hos been trying to do what it can. He outlined the policy of training veterinaries, stat- ing that it was expected to havq two gradu- ates here next yeor, in addition to an Ontario doctor who is expected to be available, and one to be placed in the local packing plant. There- after it ii expected to obtain ono or two gradu- oto voterinarics each year. ‘ Forestry, he pointed out, ls largely a Domin- loii Government responsibility, and the Provincial Government is hoping for financial assistance from this source. The Premier did not consider the cutting of pitprops to be harmful if done sel- ectively, a fact which would seem to indicate ' that the Government is unlikely to introduce any drastic legislation in this connection. He spoke of tho possibilities of restoring oak forest growths, which he believed could be done suc- cessfully in thirty or forty years. The Premier confessed he had become alarmed at the way Government expenditures have increased, particularly in tho departments of Public Welfare and Public Works. He re- minded the delegation that it was one thing to ngrco with their resolutions and another thing to persuade o whole caucus as to their merits. lt was yet another thing to convince the Pra- '_ viiicial Treasurer that the necessary expenditures ‘ well. ' iflliitiliéi-i-ze'\hiieéeéios-iiae'-*= - could be offordcd,-and still another to have to go oirt and win on election on the basis of them! The latter consideration, unfortunately, seems to weigh tho most heavily with some of our politicians. Disabled Veterans’ Pensions The Globe and Mail recalls that it was in 192i that the present basic rate of compensa- tion for disabled veterans was set. lt was de- cided then that for (i totally disabled single vet- erun the compensation, or pension, would be $75 a month. That is, an unmarried servicemen who was totally blinded, or had both legs amputated, or was paralyzed completely, was to get $75 a month in order to keep him alive and out of want. ' The pressure from organizations interested fn veterans’ w'elfare forced the Dominion Gov- ernment to promise an increase in thb pension. It was decided that it would be $85 for the single totally disabled cx-serviceman who had been injured on duty. Tho cry of protest which greet- ed this smoll increase brought a reconsideration, and it was then announced that the pension would be $87 a month for thesingle I00 per cent disability case. Those who are married and have small children got a small increase, as Meanwhile, the basic rate of $75 for ii per cent disability continues, but one of the most important bodies, the National‘ Council of Veteran Associations in Canada, has put its case before the psblic prior to on appearance before the House of Commons Committee on Veterans‘ Affairs. The Council has the follow- ing member bodies, Sir Arthur Pearson Asso- ciation of War Blinded, War Amputotions of Canada, Canadian Paraplegic Association, Con- odian Pensioners’ Association‘; Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans of Canada and the Canadian Corps Association. in making tho example of the l0? per cont disobility_caso of the singlg man, it is putting the coso of those who ore loss disabled, and those whoarq disabled and marred, with fami- llis. What the Notional Council of Veteran socizilorii in Connie is asking is that instead 4th! amount til; Gomgmsnt iipw proposes, $87 a month.for the I00 per cent disobilityfthat the basic rate be $l00 a month. "But the question remains to be answered by tho whole House of Commons," says the Globe and Mail. "Can a totally disabled single veteran be fairly granted compensation of less than $l00 a month in lieu of his total paralysis, or blind- ness in both eyesgor double amputation? That the public wants those who suffered so griev- ously for Canada to be properly looked aftor is certain. The Government should give generous consideration to their claim." l EDllURlAl NUHIS - Navy Day.

Sir Hugh Walpole, English novelist, born this date lB84;' son of the Bishop of Edinburgh; he served with the Russian Red Cross in the First Great War, which enabled him to create atmosphere for his first two novels The Dark Forest, and The Secret City, which deal with Rus- sio; and likewise in The Captives. Ho is also the author of The Golden ‘Scarecrow and Jeremy, clever sympathetic studios of children; ho is keenly observant, humorous, and has a masterly power of delineation. i h k it The Premier docs not think the City Coun- cil has authority to rent parts of the market for a bowling alley and picture theatre, for less ta convert any part of it into headquarters for a bus service. By the same token, would his in- terpretotion of the low deprive us of our long desired and much nccrlcd modern rest house? The City authorities will no doubt look into the matter in the interest of citizens, generally, and country visitors in particular. Saskatchewan's hog industry has dropped 75 per cent since i944 and may soon disappear ol- together unless on improved relationship be- tween prices of leed grains and pork products is introduced immediately by Federal action, Agriculture Minister l. C. Nollzt told the legis- lature. The minister was speaking on a resolu- tion to have the provincial government request the Federal government to institute an inimedi- ate and long-term policy to prowct the hog in- dustry from processor-prolitesring and high speculative feed grain prices. O fi fi I lli the event of the Government bringing in an amendment to the Election Act providing ‘for one man one vote, will that mean ipso facfo the reduction of the membership of the Legislature r015? The claim has been made that the Province is aver-represented in the local Legis- lature and an agitation inaugurated to reduce tho number by half. ls this the method to be pursued ta carry out such a policy? To give every one two votes merely to elect tworepre- sentatives on the same basis where one would be sufficient appears to be a little illogical.

Orulckshenk a mlllbll‘ of the Scottish Piplnl Society of . . lmidan) The Scottish Highland bezplpe ls one of the mOst. remarkable musical instruments in reiuler use. Bagpipes iii various forms have been known to be in use in ver- ious parts of Europe and Alli! lfll‘ mziny hundreds of years. The Ramon army which invaded Britain used for marching music an instru- ment called the "Tibia Utrlcul- oris," apparently e bagplpe with- out "drones." During the post few hundred year's different. forms of bagpipes have been in use in England, Ireland and Scotland ririri are now little usecl or obsolete. The Scottish Highland biigpipe has become‘ the finalised form. improved in construction but. not in fundamental design. nricl has been adopted nrid proudly cher- ished as a Scottish national instru- merit. As its nerrie implies, the Hlih- land brsgpipe first crime into ‘wide use 1n the Highlands of Scotland. The (late of its first. appearance and the manner of its introduc- tion are both unknown, though some existing pipe tunes are over 300 years old. In ilie times when the Scottish Highlands were populated by Cloris. or tribal families. eiicii Clan Chief had his staff of pipers, officials of great prestige. Most Cloris had some ulpe music peculiar to themselves. Pipes were played at all social gatherings, to summon the warriors. rind on the march. Pipers were often sent la piping schools for years of study, The most famous of those schools was at Boreraig fn the Isle of Skye. off the Scottish west coast. Here a memorial liris been erected to the llfacCrin-mons, a great family of. teachers, After the year 1715, when some of the Highlanders-re- belled ezainet the united English- Scotfish crown, the. pipes were actually declared an instrument of uvar. Their use was forbidden by the government under penalty of dealh. About. this time much traditional pipe music was lost, not. being preserved in a written score. The Highland bagplpe is e reed instrument. in which one pipe, the “chantci-J’ plays t. melody, and three others, the " rories”. provide R fixed bass. All four pipes are supplied with air from a- leather bag lielcl under the left. arm. This is inflated by the breath cf the Player through a "blow-pipe" pro- vided ivitli a_ rich-return valve. Pressure is maintained by the arm. The instrument is sometimes re- ferred to lii the plural — "The BKZPFPCS" or “The Pipes." The "cliaiitor" is u conical pipe about 43 inches long. fitted with a double cane reed resembling an enlarged oboe rend. There are sc-vcri finsrcr holes and n. thumb hole.
