For instance the other day I was talking with Olaf Hansen, member for Skeena (B.C.>. Ho told me ho had lost 14 pounds during the session. The stocky, groy haired son of the Vikings stili talks with a delightful Scan- dinavian accent. His home port for many years was Prince Rupert, that booming, pulsating war baby. Mr. Hansen in 1907 wont af ton the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, walking the oearly one thousand miles frorn Edmonton to Prince Rupert through a wild country. Ho found the gold ah nright-but in lumber, pioneered and prospered. This is Ottawa! The other day a buge tank with its long barrel- led cannon pointing straight ahead at the traffic, its treads clanking loudly, rumbled along the pavement in front of the Par- liament buildings. Incongruous ...but it had to stop at the ned lîght. Nobody seemed to pay the slightest attention to this monster of wan.

Another interesting thing I was told is that officiai cameramen have been taking shots of the action in Sicily, these are sent on to London, thon to the National Film Board in Ot- tawa.

James You who groan over the mowen on your little lawn at home ought to see what the mon bave to keep in trim anound the Parliament buildings. I enquired and found there are about 40 acres of grass to ho looked af ton, and it keeps a numben of men working continu- ally day aften day. I was sur- prised to see the absence of dan- dolions, so pestiferous in some parts of Canada. The Central Ex- penimental Farm bore says a pretty effective treatment for them is spnaying the infested area with long-time burnîng oil at the rate of 5 gallons per one thousand square feet of lawn. No othen place does one s00 more beautiful swards of grass and such mag- nificont trees as in Ottawa. Odds and ends of the rocont Session: The war finance bill which set up a jackpot of $3,890,- 000,000 for war purposes passed quickly, but Parliament was con- cerned with it on forty-four days of the session, 50 it wasn't givon a once-oven-lightly . . . largest single item in the supplementary estimates was $27,816,000 f o r wheat neduction acreage bonus and administration of it, as against $4,265,000 last fiscal year ...there was a neduction of 4 million acres seeded to wheat in the three prairie provinces, but that's all covered by ineneases in oats, barloy and flax seed. .. one of the final debates before the cuntain rang down was a bill which increased old age pensions and blind pensions by $5 a month and under certain circumstancos also allowed $125 outside income without deduction. 'A quick glance for folks "out there" on the new orden stopping purchase of used tires and tubes without a permit. Rural school teachers get raised rating; rural auctioneers can get them; a new nuling allows a farmer to procure same for passengor car even if hoe bas a truck. Provision is madle for certain dentists, optometrists who oponate branches; also for those employed in breed associa- tions engaged in the control or direction of producing or market- ing foods and fanm products. A redefined status for those who use passenger vehicles for 75 per cent or mileage in transporting produce on supplies to and frorn the farm, and who own no truck. The onden is to conserve dwind- ling stocks of new tires in Canada. Funther information will pnobab- ly ho available at your local deal- or who will likely have the de- tailed onder. Railways appear to be doing a I swell war effort job. In June a new record level was reaiçhed, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, in freight tonnage hauled. An astounding total of 9,036,000 tons as against 4,277,000 in Juno, 1939. Why is the government pushing production of oul beaning seeds? To keep the Canadian boyE puoching oven there. Four poundsý of lowly sunflowen seed prodUCE a pound of oil; a bushel of flaii yields about 18 pounds of oil whilo soy beans givo about E pounds per bushel. Had a letter saying: "Give u., a little news for women". So1 took a stroli dlown to the Con. sumers Branch of the Wartim( Pnices Board and said "How aboul it?"' Got talking about the rura womon in relation to price contro and rationing. Found that repre sentation of rural women in Con sumer branch committees is takex seriously. For instance when i came to granting extra rations fo: temporary farm help, their wishei were really considered. Arrange ments have been made for farn womeo to obtain extra rations whonever they serve 12 meals o: more. To funther enso thel: problems of meal planning, rura residents owning thoir own herd rare gnanted special pnivileges un the modemn journalistic technique is bctter for the people, the gov- ernment and good living. The last election proved that. Lts see. What do we get in our newspapers today that we didn't get even a quarter of a century ago, to Say nothing of a centurys advancement? News coverage is n0w world wide and comes to the reader much quicker. Space and time have been almost eliminated. This news, gathered by trained mon anai women in ail corners of the globe, tnansmitted by tele- graph, telephone and cable, over land and under seas, or sont through the air by radio, is a fan cry from the day when it had to come pouring into the newspaper offices, not through hand-oper- ated instruments, but over electric typewriters that, with no visible fingers to operate, send to copy editors' dosks many hundreds of thousands of words each 24 houns. You who once thrilled over the pictures of events that you saw portrayed in the old Harper's Weekly and Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, pictures that didn't reach the reader until weeks after the events transpired, cao well man- rvol at the modern miracle of the wire photograph. Today's news- paper can give you actual pic- rtures of events that happeoed many miles away only a few hours proviously. Where a single editor gave you his too often projudiced opinions, nationally known writers on every phase of life today give you in daily columns their carefully considered views, to aid you in forming opinions of your own. Add to ail this the many and varied features of instruction, advice and entertaînment that corne each day into your home on the printed page and you bave today's newspaper. It is a pro- duct of many men and many minds. It stnives not merely to inform but to make life more pleasant. Today's nowspapor is a great improvement over yesterday's. Tomorrc.w's sbould ho much botter. FUEL CONTROLLER ISSUES COAL ORDER FOR WINTER The Munitions and Supply De- partmont announced this week in our advertising columns that un- less a Quebec or Ontario bouse- holder is willing to use high- vol- atile bituminous coal for one- quarter of his "provod roquire- monts," ho xviii not ho allowed to buy for next winter more thon one-haîf the bard coal hoe used in the year ended Jiîne ist, 1943., The order was "designod to help prevent a cool famine next winter." and was issued by E. J. Browning, cool controlled. "It will compel a greoter use of the softer coals and wili more fainly dis- tnibute availoble supplies of bard coal. '"It affects ail types of consum- ors of high-grade coal," the De- partment said. Ontario and Quebec Mn. Browning said the order applies only in Ontario and Que- bec because these are the only provinces which depend almost States. Labour difficultios in the United States, coupled with the lateness of the navigation season on the Great Lakes, has reduced the flow of coal from that country. "It is impossible to predict how much United States coal we shal obtain this year,' he said. Under the order, every con- sumer of hard coal or other high- grade coal or coke must as soon as possible file with bis dealer, a Government form in. which he may agree to accopt high-vola- tule bituminous coal to the extent of one-quartor of his require- ments for the year ending next June lst. In the form he must declare how much high-grade coal ho burned o his premises in the year ended June lst, 1943; howj much ho has on hand, and wbether he has already placed an ordored for next winter's supply He must also describe the location and kind of premises for wbich he seeks the coal, and the type of equipment in which it is to ho burned. The army bas 250,000 cooks. This is one instance where too many cooks don't spoil the food. A western justice of the pcace married 72.000 couples before ho joined the Benedicts. If you live by the sword, you'l die by the sword. Live and learn. Many a pedes- trian is finding out that bis foot can take it as long as ho can bring them forward. Ail growth depends upon actîv- ity. There is no development physically or intellectually with- out effort, and effort moans work. -Calvin Coolidge YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS CENTRAL QNTARIO'SMammoth Poultry Conference In Co-operation with the Poultry Industry Committee of Ontario -IN - Peterboxough Collegiate, August lSth FROM 9.45 arn., to 5.00 p.rn.

So I arn prompted to tell you a few facts about the development in my lifetime of the daily journal of curnent events, that comes into most of your homes by carrier, mail on rural routes, a veny few bours after it baves the presses run by electricity and turning them out at the rate of 40,000 on more every hour they operate. There is no product that comes regularly into the home with wbich mono peopie are acquaint- ed, and few know much about, than the newspaper. They read it (at least in part) and they miss it greatly if it f ails to show up each day. As with the light that comes on at the turo of a switch, the telephone that responds when one lifts the receiven off the base and the radio that bings one voices and music from afar when one tunns the dial, the newspapeî readen takes his paper as an im- portant part of evenyday life and gives little heed to its making or its developmont. And ho gives less heed to the great progress made by newspapers during the passing years. Only those who have 50 years or more of acquaintance with newspapers behind them could nealize even in a small way these important changes in The States- man office, where I got my finst jounnalistic training 50 to 60 years ago, ail the type was set by hand. It was not tîll sevenal years after I left that papen that the publisb- or, after much mental perturba- tion and a careful inventory cf bis assets, bought a type-setting machine. Today, even in the sma.l towns, much of the type is ma- chine set and on the langer city papers there is very littie hand setting. It would ho impossiblE to get out the modern city daily newspaper if there wore not thesE great batteries of machines thai turo out the type with great speed sand much greator accunacy thar sin the band-set days. a The presses that turned out thE (two weeklies wene operatod b3 hand, men with strong backs re 3volving the large f ly wheels tha, made the press cylinders g( round. In that day fiat-bec spresses did the work. The rotar3 Ipress was thon only known hr - the larger cities and it was ecrude affair companed to the hugg t web presses of today, each one o Il which cao turo out 25,000 to 40, q 000 papers an boum, in oneo -more sections, collected and al -ready for the delivery roomn.Ii n the press roomn of any metropoli ýt tan newspaper today one may se Tr a haif dozon or more such presse ýs ginding out the big papers f aste -than the human eye cao cou: n them. 3, I the old days news of th, ,r world was delivered to the news ,r papers in the form of "boite Il plate" by syndicatos of job pnint [s ors, who also supplied on the san, -casts, short fiction, a fow joke. some recipes, pootry an~d otbe genenal items that might enter tain and infonm the neader. Today it is fan different. Fev newspapers, even in the smal towos big enough to support daily paper, can't afford to ge their telegraph news by wir( The great news gathening organ izations such as the Associate Press and United Press, ha' made this possible. Likewiso the. give the readors some comnie some illustrations and many fea tures that the newspapers of5 yeans ago could not have afford ed. For this, one must thank th inventive genius of man. In the newspapers of the large citios the changes are even mor marked.
