ONTARIO __________________ 'llRDV According f0 the calendar Spring mnarked its officiai appearance iIarch 21. 7 We always pity the poor citv marn--he doesn't know anything of the rea] pleasure of spring fever. That's reserved for the *man and the boy w-ho live on the farm. The way to enjoy that deliclous sense of ]ethargy ta the full is by lolling on the sunny side of the strawstack whilc the warniing air of Spring bites into the Winter's snow and brings the first quiver- ing of new life. into the trees. . That's the time and the place for dreams. The boy's mind dwells on the happy prospects that lie ahead and drinks ta the full of the ycar's fun: fishing. once 7Spring's conquest of Winter is complete; picking wild flowers. if he's lucky enough ta live on a farm with a vvoodlot; swim- ming in the care-free, barefoot summer days. And if the boy is in his teens he may drcam of the man he hopes ta be. He may sce himself as a captain of industry or as a statesman. Or the dreams mav simply bc h of anc day when lie will own his owni farrn and raise his own fami]Y.

Nobody seems ta corne up %wilh the answer ta this problera ta stir up the necessary interest and action. How- ever, the Ottawa Journal gives its views on this subject in the fallowing editorial which we pass on ta our readers ta consider: One resolution Canadians mnight take and keep gainfully for 1956, is that they should make Canada's palitîcs Iess drowsy. m-ore alert, aI least rouse il from deep sieep.

What Are Your Income Tax * This is the month You rmusîpaythe f irst instalrnent of vour incarne tax ta Finance Minister Harris aI Ottaw-a. Sa te Owen Sound Sun-Tirnes advises fath- ers across the land ta start figuring their incarne lax exemptions . . . their children. *And. though the little dears becarne par- ticu]arly pleasant "liabilities" at this time othe v'ear, a litIle consideralion shows t e rell arn' wothmuch . as f ar as ie icom taxmenareconcerned. A two-child couple earning $3,000 a year pa.ys only S39 Iess incarne tax, $91 against $130, titan a childless couple earn- in- the sarne amount. The incarne tax cohpector thus allow's lte magîtificent sumn *of 38 cents a week for each child's upkeep. 0f course there are other allowances, the fami]y a]]awance.., For those who have no children no douht this "a]]awýance" appears v'ery worthwhi]e. For those who have, how- c'ver, il is flot a great deal mare than a token 'in the face of present day high prices. Some idea as ta its real value may be received from the fact that it lias remained unchaneed in a l-year infla- tionary period. The allowance is $5 a Exemptions month for smalll childreii, $8 for biggE ones. Then wvhen they gel realîx' cash: starî off ta hîgh sehool, for inîstance, an when cloîhing cosîs enter the aduit fielc they are cut off entirely. Perhaps thati as it should be. Perhaps Ottawa has n idea of subsidizinq high sehool educatiai for boys and girl1s and takes the stani that they should be out and warking i circurnsîances make the farnily allowanci mean ingful.

We have a panliament, but year after year il becarnes increasingly duli, more and more a recording machine for the will of the cabinet shorn of adventurous or independent spirits ta give it appeal. What Parliament reflecîs, of course, is the drowsiness, the sieep of the people who elect it-the indifference of those in danger of forgetîing what democracy is about, craving only ease and tranquility in Iheir respective vocations.
