MAY 31. 1956 7 Canadian Enterprise Anothcr important step in the development of the Thomson Com- - pany in Great Britain is indicated ' in today's Canadian Press news, to thw cifcrt that the president, illr. l troy ll. 'l'lumison, has been awarded mp first independent television pro- ,;i-amme contract in Scotland. The ulillllin will operate commercially iunlvr an arrangement with the In- tin;-enilcnt Television Authority and v ill service millions of potential x i(llll'i'S throughout the area. It will ' lm -uuatcd between Glasgow and I-.iliulsim:l1, and Canadian techni- ctuus may be brought to Scotland to train the Scottish staff in commer- ("Lil operation before the station opens in about a year's time. I For over twenty-five years Mr. Thomson has owned five radio stations in Canada and. in recent )cars. two television stations. His i company owns eighteen Canadian 'l daily newspapers, of which The Guardian is one, as well as one paper in Florida, the Canada Weekly Re- l View in London. and The Scotsman ' and Evening Dispatch in Edinburgh, where Mr. Thomson now resides. ff The Scotsman enjoys is world ,' wide reputation and has been mak- ing continued progress under Mr. Thomson's ownership. The television contract. now awarded him, pre- sents vast possibilities in the new commercial medium, and is the re- sult of many months of negotiation. Applications were considered from a number of interested groups and it is a signal tribute to Canadian en- terprise that it should go to a Cana- dian publisher. Mockery Oi Parliament When the Prime Minister told the Commons that "debate could continue all this week (On the PIPE- line hill) as soon as the House adopt- ed Trade Minister Howe's motion to cut off debate on the third clause". he made what. is perhaps the most significant and most alarming state- ment yet released during the whole period of the controversy. Signifi- cant, because it helps to confirm the widely held suspicion that the Gov- ernment has little regard for the rights of parliament. Alarming. be- causc it. appears to have had the backing of the big Liberal majority. Whether Mr. St. Laurent meant it as an insult to the House or not, that in effect. is what it was. Mr. Angus Mar-Innis slimmed up the sorry episode very well indeed when he said: "It is intolerable that. free men should come here and be told What they may or may not. discuss on the word of the Prime Minister or any- one else". No one is naive enough to be- lieve that the criticism that. opposi- tion speakcrs have directed against the Government. on this issue was not made with an eye to political profit. Rut. that circumstance in no way lessens the force and validity of their complaints. Those who look upon the incident as simply a poli- iical wrangle of little consequence to the nation should consider this ques- 7. tion: It" a government can change normal parliamentary procedure in order to have its way on one par- . tlcular issue, what is to stop it from 'dest.roying. eventually, the whole parliamentary process? That, in fact, is how the dictatorships of modern history were born-a little whlttllng away here, and 1 little more there. Mr. Drew may have ex- aggerated the role of the Opposition a little when he called it "the most Important part of Parliament"; but there is no disputing the legitimacy of the thought behind the descrip- tlon. All across Canada the reaction has been unfavorable to the Govern,- ment in this matter, as indicated by the following comment from the Winnipeg Free Press, a leading Lib- eral newspaper, which leaves noth- ing ulleldz "The Government's aim. in short. not merely to limit debate but i - of the ..j l through on tee.

Young birds. in particular. need astonishing quantities of food. During its period of fastest rlrowth. a feathered youngstcr eats more than its own weight daily.

In Yosemite National Park re- searchers found lhatqhe stomachs of 3 flicker. a quail ahdga night- hawk contained. respectively. 3.- 000 ants. 500 chinch bugs and 500 mosquitoes in addition to weed seeds. MAN REQUIRES LESS To rival these feats of german- dism. a growing youth would have to slow away two or three lambs or a whole calf each day. The aver- age adult, weighing in at 150 pounds. eats only 1,53). pounds of foodstuffs in year. Yet the prodigious appetites of birds serve a useful purpose in nature's wcll-balanced schcmc. If birds and other enemies did not prey upon harmful insects, rodents. and weeds these rapidly reproduc- ing pests would soon drive all other forms of life from the earth. Other small creatures are big eaters. too. A shrew. for instance. eats almost continuously and can gobble down its own weight in food every three hours. Ten field mice occupy an aver- age farm acre. Capable of breed- ing 17 u'n..s a year. the 10 mice and their progeny would require 3,000,000 tons of food-if they all survived. A single colony of several thou- sand hungry mound-building ants cnliccts several hundred thousand insects a day. A squat, muscular little glutton called the "Smoky jungle frog" ranks second to none in the eat- ing department. it can swallow almost. any living thing up to two- thirds of its own size. FEEDS ON DELICACIES At the other extreme in the ani- mal kingdom are whales. earth's mammals need food in bulk. A young blue whate. when the hunt- ing is good. can pu on 200 to 300 pounds of weight a day. The Greenland right whale de- pends on some of the smallest sea animals I its fare. The 5040-60- foot whale swims slowly. strain- ing crustaceans and almost micro- scoplc life through haleen plates in its enormous mouth. It takes countless numbers of pelagic beings to give the whale a mouth- ful The Alaska brown bear. land's biggest flesh eater. devotes most of its time to hunting mice, ground squirrels and izarmots--game strikingly small compared to the brute's uw.i 1,500-pound body. Com) ;red to birds. the elephant. largest of land animals. also is somewhat abstemlous. A full- grown elephant weighing some 10,000 pounds will eat only 150 pounds of hay and drink 50 gallons of water during a day. Shiekdoms Thrive On Oil National Geographic Society The Shcikdnm of Kuwait. 200 years old this year, has burst into wealth and Western culture in a single decade. Prosperity and change have come to the 6.000-square-mile area- smnller than New Jersey--hccause of vast oil deposits. Kuwait lies at the head of the Persian Gulf, encircled by Iran. Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Beneath its sun-drenched sand: is what may well he the biggest pool of oil in the world. the National Gcopraphic. Society says. Sheik Abdullah as Salim as Sodah. descendant of a family that set tip the state in 1756, gets half the profits of the Kuwait Oil Company, a joint Brilish-Amcri- can cnrporatian. llis sharc now comes to more than 3200 million a year.

Kuwait also shares in oil royalties from the "neutral territory" be- tween it and Saudi Arabia. With the recent discovery of another oil area in the north. Kuwait promises to become even richer. Western industry and methods have brought Western culture with them. The old city of Kuwait. capital of the Sheikdom. shows many changes since 1046. That year a traveler might have seen it in its original fonn--an Arabian town of traders. seafarers and pearl divers. Whole sections of winding passageway: and mud houses have disappeared. replac- ed with paved streets and large cement bulldlmzs.
