The poor chap had just finished bouse cleaning, so, wc suppose, had to tell his troubles to someone. Hence his letter. He iwasn't at ail backward in telling us he dis- agrecd with our views on the ab- olition of the Means Test. We stili think hc's a sweli guy. Major General Pearkes, a Tory fromn British Columbia, made some nasty cracks about the Grits, in Parliament, a few days ago. Our local M.P., Johnny James, rose in wrath, in the House, to slap the General. down. No sooner had he started to speak, than some rude Tories shouted "Sit Down." But, Johnny main- taincd he was spcaking on a point of privilege. Unfortunately for him, the Speaker ruied that the Opposition had the right to say what they did. Therefore, there bcing no privilege. the member for Durham was out of order. By this time, our local lad has dis- covered that the House of Com- mons is run different to Wood's Senate, in Bowmanvillc. We havo a hunch that Johnny's desire to hang one on the Gencral stems from away back, when Johnny was in an infantry outfit on the West Coast, at the same time the General had charge of Coastai defence of the same area. . Probably our local lad didn't care for Pearkes as an area com- mandant, but on account of the, difference in their rank, couldn't do anythirig about it. But meeting him as an equal in Parliament, Ah - h - h - h! that was different. .We know just how you feit, Johnny. Thirty-five years ago, a Lieutenant risked loss of bis rank to keep his promise to us. We have worshipped hlmn ever since. Thirty-three years ago, an officious and snooty adjutant went out of bis way to interfere with our leave tramn France to "Blighty". We have cordially de- tested hlm fromn then tili now and intend to dislike bim tramn now tii the end of tinie. Vivian Hamilton always work- ed where she was not aliowed Saturday afternoon off, so decid- ed to obtain employment wbere she could. She started working at Oshawa on a Wednesday and the very first Saturday the Motors decided to break it's general rule, so poor Bibs had to slug it through one more Saturday atter- noon. She is sure she is a week- end jinx. At hast they arc beginning to realize the importance of the father. At St. Mvicbael's Hospital in Toronto, workmen are now prcparing a father's room, where expectant tathers can relax in comtortable surroundings, instead of being forced to pare up and dow'n in a. cbeerless corridor. There wilh bc a telephone in the room wbich will enabie the happy teliow to announce the resuit of bis hospital visit witbout baving to break bis neck in a headlong rush to reach a pay phone. We would suggest to ail hospital au- thorities that tbey have plenty of their prettiest nurses in constant attendance in the father's room, as an aid to soothe the poor Dad's jangied nerves. There is always plenty of attention showered on the mother and babe. but the aid man rareiy gets a pleasant nod. In fart, we have seen some mothcrs-in-law glarè at the young tather as though they wouid hike ta throttie the brute. Only a father knows what agony is suffered by hlm at this time, so it is pleasant to note that, if he must suffer, be wîi be able to in comifortable surround- ings, in congenial company, witb telephone, plenty of cigarettes and beautiful nurses.

Privilege Plan Best Method For Delinquents Many of our Statesman readers wihl be interested in the recent despatch from Gait: Jerry is oniy ore of the many that have been direrted in the ways of good citizenship at the Ontario Training Scboois for Boys. But officiais believe bis case is typicai of what bas been donc for the more than 350 lads that cach year become wards of train- ing srhools at Gait and in Bow- manvihle. They cahi the secret of their success in rebabilitation "'a system of privileges." At 12, Jerry was a burgiar. Ris folks were poor, the famihy large and the home in the city over- crowded. Nobody cared if be sneaked away at night. Atter breaking into one housc he was raught and let off witb a warning. The serond time bowever juvenile court sent the siender lad to training srbool. That xvas four years ago. The Gaît srhool had just been taken over trom the Wormens' Royal Canadian Naval Service and a new staff organized. Jerry, a leader among the boys, initiated the staff to several tricks from a varied repertoire. Insolence a nd insubordination were easily rerognizable but not ail bis misrondurt was so obios Fuse phugs bhew mysteriusly, light switrhes went baywire-he gathered a foliowing of admirers. Dententions Banned Hc was caught and given de- tention to meditate on bis mis- deeds. -But he wisn't detained long. A new system of priviieges was introdured and dletentions were banned. Jerry sneered when hc first saw posters announring: 'best boy of the week, best sportsman, bost etiquette, best deportment." But bis apposition did n't last long. For the first time in his lite Jerry couid gain prartical recognition from bonest enter-1 prise. Within two montbs he quaiified as the best boy. When his term ended Jerry was sent to a foster home on a farm. He didn't know a goose from a duck at first but he took an interest in his xvork and before bis tarm career was finisbed he was announred as one of On- tario's champion piowmen. The training plan is designed to deveiop a boy by providing in- centivcs which catch and hoid his interest. A. R. Virgin, former superin- tendent of the scbool at Bow- manvilie, now director of the de- partment of reform institutions, spoke for the department when he said: "It has been our ambition for years to avoid corporal punish- ment and detention in the case of boys." The ambition has been acbieved. Canada's textile industry pro- dures an average of 100,000,000 pairs of socks and stockings an- nually.

Just invent a pnving mn- tonial that wiil be non-skid in wet weatber, will flot cause undue tire wcan and wihi not create ex- cessive vibration ta the vebicie using it. That's the tip given by J. D. Miliar, Dcputy Minister of High- ways for Ontario, wbosc article, "Making Highways Sate," np- pears in the current issue o! the Canadian Geagraphical Journal. Mr. Milar, wbo traces the bis- tory of higbwny deveiopment in Ontario, depiores the excessively bigh rate of rond fatalities causeçi by motor accidents. Judging tram tbe yenriy accident toil in North America, he questions wbether the benefits gnined tram cheap and convenient transpor- tation hnven't been purcbased at toa bigh a pnice. "The number of ives sacrîficed by careiessness on the bighways is a sad commentnry on aur modemn way o! lite," Mr. Millan states. "The bombs that feu aon London, on Berlin, an Hiroshima, hett records o! dead and injured at wbicb the wboic civilized world was aghast. Yct today the con- tinued siaughtcr o! innocent vie- tims is accepted complacently as part o! aur dnihy lite." Mr. Milar behieves that bigh- way control can be arhieved; but this requires whale-bearted pub- lic support, and drivers must be convinced that they face a grave respansibility ta society every moment they are bobind the wbeeis o! cars. Education and the enforcement of traffir iaws can reduce the1 great majority of traffir accidents, be dlaims. But wbiie praisingj the work being donc by satetyi organizations, police service clubs and the press to check the rising death touls, be adds that there stihi remains a large percentage of accidents causcd by deficien- cies'o! machines and roadways. Tuhe gooci work being done by meehanical engineers is a direct chal 'lenge to bighway engineers. Mr. Millar says that one solu- tion of the auto -transportation probhemn is to relieve congestion. This is being accomplisbed by ..controlled acccss', highways, the installation of clover-heaf inter- sections and the creation of bridges and subways. Wide right-of-ways, genthe curves and easy gradients are among the aids that are being incorporated into trunk roads to ensure safe driving. Otber improvements are wide shoulders and sballow ditch- es. In addition, snow-earing, sanding. and the use of ice- dissolvents combine to provide saf e surfaces for winter driving ini Ontario. In support of improved con- struction of the King's Highways and the maintenance of sub- sidiary roads, Mr. Milar aiso ad- vocates such nids to greater safety as zone markers, symbol signs, guide rails, reflectorizing plaint, traffic ligbts and control of ad- vertising signs. Even the picnie table and roadsidc park play their part by giving the motorist rcst and relaxation tramn the strain of driving. 'A rehaxed driver," Mr. Millar believes. "is a safe driver. A tired and cxasperated driver can be a hazard to every one on the road. Remove the cause of fatigue by attractive, trce - bordered, smooth and gcntiy curving rond- wnys and you reduce the possibil- ity of another grim .tigure bcing added ta the accident stntistics." Announce Prices For Canning Crop Peas Bring More Minimum prices for tomatoos, green peas and swetctrn pur- chased for cnnning ini Ontario this yenr were annouiced hast week by Frank Perkin, chairman o! the Farm Praduets Marketing Board. The pnices werc those recom- mendeâl by boards of arbitration nepresenting the grower and the pracessar. In thé case of tomatoes, sweet corn and green and wax beans, the prices are siightly iower than those paid in 1949. Green peas are substnntialiy high or. Asparagus witb anc ex- ception is unchnnged.

Three years carier, Canada produced less thhan one-tenth of tbe ail sie used. More than 240 companies and syndicates are searciug for or producinçr a in western Canada.

The one change in asparagus was in utiiity A grade, which sohd for 20 cents a pound hast year. Al prices are f.o.b. fnctory or fac- tory receiving station. The asparagus and bean agree- ments were unanimausiy rccom- mended by negotiation commit- tees of growers and processors appointed withîn the industry. Negotiatians on tomatoes, green peas and sweet corn faîlcd and the dispute went to arbitr&tion boards. Prices for the canning green pea crop are tied ta the price of pea seed, Mr. Perkins exphained. The 1949 price of $60 a ton was contingent on the cost ta the grawer o! $2.50 per 56-pound bushel of pea seed. Four bushels of seed are required to plant anc acre. It haslongbeen reahized, Mr. Perkins said, that the $2.59 per bushel charged groweru for pea seed was well below its actual cost. The 1950 arrangement has been reached with a view of se»l- ing seed at or about its actual cost. The price there has beex adjusted ta $75 per ton to the grower in consideration -of his cost for seed being increased ta $7 per bushel. In the event of crop failure, the agreement provides that should the grower's returu for peas har- vested be less than $56 per acre the processor shall absorb the seéd charge to one-haif the gross returns for the crop. Where peas are left unharvest- ed in the green state, the grower, at the direction of the processor, shall harvest them and deliver them to the processor in the ripe state and the grower shall be paid for them at the rate of 6 'Y4 cents per pound.
