(The Economist, London) To gather a few facts about the motive of'voters, both party mem- bers and floaters, the London Scbool of Economics conducted a survey in Greenwich before and afler the general election of 1950. Afler tabulation the answers given in 2,058 iengthy interviews the survey team decided that voters at the poîl cannol easily be called informed or educated or ev'en, in any conscious sense, re- sponsible. At the beight of the campaign in Greenwich, flot one voter in ten knew the name of the candidate he was going 10 vote for. . . The voter's inlerest is in the glittering personalities of the big party leaders, and the local candidate who is cleancut and in- conspicuous can slde in on a party vote. But this does flot mean Ihat the voters always identify even the parly leaders with their policies. When the survey team read off at random a series of Conservative and Labour statements of policy, they found that the Conservalive state- ments wvon general favor. By Ibis token, the Labour candidate in Greenwich should have lost; he was elected by 11,000 votes.

This would be a mighly good mollo for pny gard- ener, or farmer too, for that mat- ter. The man who dumps ail the weeds and cul grass int the gar- bage pail is actually tossing away his soul. Ail garden refuse, weeds, grass clippings, leaves, etc., will rot down ino excellent soul, and s0 will a lot of other things if we give themn a litIle encourage- ment. Usually a corner of the garden, screened with shrubbery or sornething else and away frora the house, is selected for Ibis soul- making business. Il is technicaliy known as composting and the material a compost heap. Simply select a fairly well drained spot and bere dump the leaves, weeds, grass and whalever is collecled. Over this we sprinkle a layer of earth and the process is repeated each lime we add*some refuse. If available add sone manure and possibly a litIle iitne and com- mercial fertilizer. It's a good plan 10 soak Ibis pile occasion- ally with waler and also turn il over once or twice to assisl de- composition. In a few months this pile will break down mbt first class, rich garden soul. The process cao be haslened by usiog some of the various patent chemn- icals on the market. The Big Three Most flowers and vegetables fallinto three main classes- hardy, semi-hardy and tender.In planting we should bear in mind thal the first group are flot afraid of frost, the second can take a litIle but they don't like il, the third will be killed just as in that area, takîng the stand tbe rnunicipality would not benef il from a theatre used by outsiders and the general public. Commenting on life insurance companies advertising campaign, the Kenîville (N.S.) Advertiser, says: . . . "il is an attempt 10 con- vince the individual that, come what may in the formi of old ace pensions, bis best interesîs lie in doing something himself, bo pro- vide for bis own security in later lif e . . . il is refresbing and en- couraging 10 find a section of Biga Business, Ihat much-maligned i-- personality, talking the sort uf common sense we migbt expect ti bear fromn political leaders-but don't." Times have changed, sigbs tbe Selkirk (Man.) Enterprise. with Ibis sage bit of observation: Forty years ago folks boiled coffee and settled il witb an egg; the only reds knowo were reci flannels; and a boy didn't think lie had 10 bave a vebicle in xvbich 10 pursue happiness. People were more, interested in the contentment of each other Iban they were in cows: ladies rode side-saddle and when a preacber said a truith tbe people said "ameni."' A candidate had b bec economy- rninded 10 get elected 10 office; neighbors asked about your fam- ily and meant it; and when a man diessed for evening he put on his night shirt. Folks used tootbpicks and w'ýere stili pole, and the neighbors gat fresh liver at hog killing lime. Two or three people could mccl without passing the bat; parents were the only baby-sitters., and men worked for an honesî lving instead of wisbing for one. A man's word was bis bondi; Rip Van Winkle slept 20 vears and no one asked hlm 10o endorse a mattress: and men made the same wife do a lifetinie. The Amhcrst (N.S.) Newvs re- ferrine 10 Ontario's giving the nod to womnen jurors, declare s that "the important thing, after, ah. is to establish now the solid* principle that women are fuH- fledged citizens and must take. their fair share 0f the obligationsý wbich rest upon us all in our common affairs." The Camrose (Alla.) Canadian sees a new hope in the fact that Russians are attending the con- ference in Paris, reflecting, "YOuI know. Stalin is an old man bh.,- ahl standards. He shotîld havp ambitions 10 die in peace. Mortal conquest neyer brouight reconcili-t ation to man's innermost soul." A trite comment about cutting mail delivery: "Objection that tb£re is no relationship between the Baby Bonus and the mail de- livery saving wvould be unwise. It would be just the sort of thing that so many people say when they find that their expenditures on whisky leave them with too littie to pay for milk." The Leader at Duncan, B.C., holds that gotérnments compet- ing against private enterprise forI PAc~ WTvu! available goods since the end of the war have contributed one factor adding appreciably to present price levels." One need only look at the unprecedented program of new school and high. way building i BO. to reajize the effect of government .spend. ing upon prices generally."l An acorn wras fîequently usedt as a design on Colonial furniture because it wvas considered a symn- bol of hospitality.

In the first category come flow- ers and vegetables that under normal conditions wouid seed themselves. These are lhings like alyssum, cosmos poppies a nd scores of other flowers. They are ahl specially iisted as hardy in any good Canadian seed catal- ogue and are similarly described on the seed packet. Amoog vege- tables will be lettuce, spioach, carrots, parsnips and, of course,. garden peas. In the second group there is a greal variety of flowers. Il is aI Ibis time, wheo danger of serious frost bas passed, that we gel the firsl of started plants transplant- ed outside-things like petunias, zinnias, etc. In the vegetable line, beans, the first corn and potaloes, the main plantiog of beets, car- rots, etc., will go in at Ibis period. For the tender group-soil, as well as air, must be warm before Ihese go outside. 0f course with seed and bulbs, which will flot be pushing through the surface for a few days, one can gamble a little, but as a rule with the ten- der group there is nothing ta be gained by rushing in abead of time unless special protection is provided such as glass or paper caps. Amoog the very tender flowers are cannas, gladioli, dah- lias and any other very soft, fleshy stemrned plants The mel- ons and squashes corne in Ibis group and so do cucumbers, pep- pers and purnpkins.
