W. Ludlow, Department of Wel- fame, pointed out that the normal population oi the Home was 74 whereas at present the number ai inmates was 101. It was definite- ly ovemcowded and he noticed that one man had ta sieep in the bathroom. Toilet facilities were flot sufficient and the beds were "pretty close together" due ta overcrowded condition ai the in- stitution. In 1941, Mr. Ludlow told thei council, ther. were 4,439 people in the province who were over 70 yeams o! age and 6,838 over the age o! 65. From 1936 10 1946, 59 per cent of those receiving old age pensions were living in caun- ties homes. There were 90 per cent more wha were paying their way in the caunties homes than before, sa that these institutions were no longer homes for the in- digent. He suggested that in planning for a new addition ta look 25 years ahead, and ta plan the addition ta fit the variaus classes of inmates such as bed cases, those who could walk ar- ound and s0 on.

Raises Question In Parliament As in the past, it is the States- man's policy to keep its readers informed as to the activities of the local Member of Parliament, Mr. C. E. Stephenson, during the sessions of parliament. During a discussion in the House of Commons, last week, the Dur- ham member, Mr. Stephenson of Port Hope questioned Hon, C. D. Howe, Minister of Trade and Commerce concerning the ex- portable surplus of tobacco and apples in Canada this year. Mr. Howe stated that because of the austerity program. of the gov- ernment of England, this market was shut of f, however he explain- ed that ail trade commissions were working on the problem. Mr. Stephenson urged that a special effort should be macle; be- cause there was a great deal of submarginal land, that could be used for growing tobacco and consequently would bring under cultivation many areas that had not beerq able to produce a great deal in the past and thus proving advantageous to various counties in Ontario and other parts of Can- ada. Regional Meeting Red Cross Society Held in Belleville The. regional Meeting of the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society was held at Belleville, June 10. Twenty-faur tranches were represented in- cluding Arden, Beaverton, Belle- ville, Bethany, Brighton, Cobourg Campbellford, Colbùorne, Deloro, Gananaque, Pittsburg Township, Peterborough, Port Hope, Ster- ling, Sydenham, Toronito, Tren- ton. Bowmanville was repres- ented by Chas. Carter Sr., presi-1 dent of the local -branch. The afternoon session chaired tby Mr. M. P. Duff, president of Belleville, the host branch, was held in St. Thomas Parish Hall. Mrs. A. C. McKenzie, Beaver- ton, chairman of the Ontario Di- vision, Red Cross Branch Pro- gram Committee, was the speaker and outlîned to an interesfed au- dience the work which Red Cross might do in many communities. For there was not a community in Canada which had not the need of an active Red Cross Branch. The evening session was a din- ner meeting in the Parish Hall when William B. Hanna of Toron- to ,president of the Ontario Di- vision, outlined the workings of Canadian Red Cross. He declared that one of the purposes of the meeting was to invite a number of the branche.% which were activei during the war, ta apply. for a charter and ta become active ag-1 ain. There were now two hundred and ninety-five branches in the Ontario Red Cros family, carry- ing on active peacetime work. Most of thelm were working as hard as in the war years, al- though the work might lack some of the drama and glamour ai the war days. Ontario wyas the largest Red Cross division in Canada and was governed by some fifty mem- bers af an executive committee chosen from across the province. The last Executive meeting was more largely attended than any wartime meeting. Ontario contributes fiity per- cent of Red Cross funds in every campaign. Some Ontario branch- es raise more money than whole Red Cross divisions in other pro- vinces. "We have a vast peacetime pro-i gram. Every community can take an active part in Red Cross, and in many ways we have more work ta do in peacetime than in lime ai war." "'What'a i a Name?" "What bird is tint?" asked Alice. "Sometiing like a smal] Robin, but the back is greyer, At has wing-bars, and is yellowish underneath." Before Edith cauld speak, a loud voice shouted, "Caw, cow; wake-up, wake-up, wake-up." The first two words came slowly, the rest very fast, one word run- ning into the next. Then the singer, in a gorgeous orange and black costume, dashed ouI ai the woods, and flew across the clear- ing. "Your question has been an- swered, Alice. You- must have seen Mrs. Baltimore Oriole, for here is hem mate." Excilement man high,, because luis was the first time the girls had !ound these birds as far north as their summer cottage in the Laurentians. Though they belong to the Blackbird family, Orioles are tro- pical. Theme are many kinds, but the Baltimore is the only species commonly nesting in Canada. The story ai how the name was ac- quired goes back nearly 200 years. The second Baron oi Bal- timore had crossed the Atlantic with some colonists, and their setlement was given uis name. They sent ta the English amni- thologist Linneus the skin of a bird which they had called an Oriole-though it did flot really resemble the English bird ai that name. Because the plumage was orange and black, Lord Balti- more's colours, in honour, ai the baron the naturalist entered it as a Baltimore Oriole. In spite oi this being one ai our most stmikingly beautiful birds, it is best known for its nest: a remarkable example of bird craitmanship. Mrs. Onicle herself makes the pocket-like structure. Plant fibres and dead grass sup- plemented by bits ai coloured wool, string, or sîrips o! cotton, are fastened fimmly ta a branch, but in such a way that the cradle swings with every breeze, yet lasts for many months-some- times through four winters. its depth, and its position at the tip of a bough ensure the safety ai the little Orioles. The young are noted cmy-ba- bies. From the lime when they begin ta "feather out" until sev- eral days aiter Ihey have leit the nest they keep up a continuai noise. Their mother is very good' ta them: attending to ail their wants even in bad weather. shielding them irom a too-hot sun. and defending them coumag- eougjy when danger is near.
