E. Stephenson, .P for Durham Dounty, bas g*n the press the rohlowing facts. The House was ealled together Dy Prime Minister King before Christmas ta deal speci!ically wlth 4vhat be called two moat pressing items o! business: (1) The Gen- eva Agreements, (2) The Gavern-i ment's later deal with the U.S.A1 in the dollar criais.1 In the Speech fmom the Thronei ie bad it written that Canadian1 pmospcmity was the greatest ever. ~onsequently be arranged the or- ier o! business so that no discus- dion could take place on the prea-1 bnt pligbt o! farmers .and veter-4 ina. These things couid wait. Bracken Forces Immediately the Progressive lonservatlves, led by John Brac- Uen took this line: "The Geneva and U.S.A. Agreements weme ai- ready given effect without parlia- ment's sanction, hence were flot pressing. On the other band the famm prablems and veteran's problems weme most seriously pressing and should be remedied at once. But the government and the. Speaker o! the House ruled again- st the discussion o! these matters. However the opposition didn't let up and sought every means o! bminging these questions forward. Little success was achieved again- st the huge government majority which included a good many farrn- cm members. Veterans Shut Off In the case o! the veterans whose pensions arc fan short o! meeting rising living casts, A. J.1 Brooks, Progressive Cansera"tive, and a veteran, moved the adjourn- ment o! the House ta discuss relief for the veterans. With what re- su it?1 The speaker, elected as a Lib- eral follower o! Mr. King said: Hansard, P. 123; "1 must nat re- ceive the motion or give permis- sion ta adjourn the House." This was the government's Merry Christmas ta the veterans. Farinera Dou't Count Dealing with the farm question the Minister o! Finance evidently thought that farmers counted for littie far he attempted ta show how prosperous they were. He proposed ta quate sanie figures shawing farmers coats and prices. One o! aur party suggested that the farmers were flot stupid and knew very well their costs and me- turns. But the Miniater meplied: P. 92, Hansard: "Fanmers are flot the anly people who perhaps are flot as intelligent as they may think." And he went on ta say: "On the figures it is pretty bard ta argue that farmers have not had a faim increase in prices. They have had the biggest. I will not admit that farmers have not had their faim share o! price increases." But the Minister did not go on and quate a list o! farmer's costs. Sa there you have the govemn- ment's attitude ta farmers. No discussion, take it or leave it. Questions Asked Shut off from debating these things ail we could do was inter- ject questions and take the risk o! being howled down or called to order. I took the apportunity of asking a few questions and was the first anc ta get in a word as to what the government would do for farmers. You will sec in Hansard: P. 74, 1 asked the Minister o! Agriculture ta make a statement if the govern- ment intended ta do anything for the relief o! farmers. The Minis- ter replied: "I made a statement ta the Farrn Conference the other day wbich contains ahl I arn able ta, say at this tume. I ar nfot in a position ta say any more." Sa that was that. Laten on, Hansard: P. 92, 1 inter- jected a question when the Minis- ter o! Finance was speaking about the sound and prosperous condi- tion o! the country, and asked him ta explain the plight we were now in, for facts were facts. He said: "I will corne ta that plight," but be failed ta do so. Later, Han- sard, P. 133, Minister C. D. Howe told that Canadian farmers were flot permitted ta ship ta the U.S. A. Sa the wbole thing cornes down ta gag rule as fan as farmers are concerned. With bee! at $35 in Chicaga and around, $16 in Tom- onta and tbe cost o! feed grain nearly doubled the farmers can wbistle sa far as the governmcnt tong Di10anoe W,1lI be Busy thies Christnmas We Il do Our very best to put your calis throught but thero will be delays.

Hardenlng of Arteries Affects Vital Oragns Scientists for many years have been seeking the cause or causes of arteriosclerosis, but sa far, "ahl we know are sanie o! the things which do flot cause it,"1 says Dr. John D. Hamilton, Professor of Pathology at Queen's University, Kingston. He describes arterial degenera- tion, commarily known as bard- ening o! the arteries, as cansisting "o! a thlckening o! the wall of the blood vessel, which results in a loss o! elasticîty, and a namrawing of the blood channel," and adds that "it is flot the bardening or thickening of the vessel wahl which is important, but the nar- rawing o! the blood channel and the reduced volume o! biood wbich that vessel may carry." Remarking on the importance o! a good flow o! biood through any argan or tissue, Dr. Hamilton says that without such a flow, the ROOFING ASPHALT - FELT SHINGLE churches. Where there was a teii- dency befome, for young marmied couples ta drift away fmom their chumch, these clubs have provided fresh interest and inspiration. Not only in getting acquainted with the minister and his wi!e, and finding them as human as aur- selves, but aiso proving an excell- ent way o! meeting and knowi'ng aur neighbors scattemed through- out the community.
