lendingafélagsins í Norður Cali-
forniu, bauð gesti velkomna, en
íslenzki konsúllinn, séra S. O-
Thorlákson ávarpaði skáldkon-
una. Frú Jakobína mælti nokkur
orð og las upp nokkur af kvæð-
um sínum, sum frumort á ís-
lenzka tungu og önnur kvgeði ís-
ienzk, er hún hafði þýtt á ensku,'
við hinar beztu undirtektir,
enda fer frúin með skáldskap af
mikilli tilfinningu og alúð. Átta
manna kór íslendingafélagsins,
undir stjórn frú Louise Guð-
munds, söng nokkur ættjarðar-
lög. Fram voru borðnar bæði ís-
lenzkar (rúllupilsa, rúgbrauð,
hnoðuð terta) og amerískar kræs
ingar.
Enda þótt frú Jakobína sé
komin nokkuð yfir sjötugt, fæst
hún enn við kveðskap. Hennar
er hin síunga sál listamannsins.!
Hún kallaði ljóðagerð sína ekk- i
ert annað en ævingu og að sér
væri nokkuð sama, hvaða dóm!
samtíminn legði á hana. Þetta
væri ævingar, sem sér væri un-
un að, ævingar undir næsta líf,
en þar vonaði hún, að hún mætti
enn kveða.
Þótti öllum íslendingum og
fslandsvinum þar góður gestur,
er fyú Jakobína var.
“Kertaljós”, nýjasta kvæða-
sáfn frú Jakobínu á íslenzku
mun koma út í nóvember næst-
komandi.

Seconding Speech from the
Throne
Framhald frá 1- síðu
suffering from economic hard
bhip means suffering for tíiose
whose jobs apparently are far
removed from the soil and the
farm.
I am glad to see that reference
is made in the Speech to the
need for adequate drainage in
those areas of the province af-
ílicted not so much by ihe spec-
tacular looding of the great riv-
ers as by the more persistent and
insidious failure of surface
moisture to leave the land.
That has been a problem in
St. George for several years and
its effect has been cumulative,
choking the farmer and holding
him off the land. On some farms
in my constituency it has been
not a matter of prices or grain
storage but the much more des-
perate problems of being com-
pJetely unable to raise crops
eitóier to sell or for food.
But even the insurance of cat-
tle raising has not been the help
that it might have been because
the average price for beef has
dropped by one-half since 1951.
And this when all the costs a
farmer must meet have risen and
promise to rise furtíier.
I realize all the difficulties
of tampering or attempting to
tamper with free markets but I
also suggest that the farmer and
a few other primary producers
should not be the only individu-
als in a nation without some
form of protection.
It is easy to say it is impos-
sible; ;t is not so easy to exper-
ence a decline in the market
value of what one has to offer
in the face of an inflation which
affects everything one has to
buy.
We do not ask, Mr. Speaker,
tor handouts and there are ways
we can help ourselves. I could
not help but be struck by the
statement in the livestock review
for last year which claimed that
—and I quote—“Manitoba had
the dubious honor of producing
the poorest quality cattle re-
ceived in the stockyards during
■ehe year”.
Even if that statement is only
half true it is bad enough and
anything that we can do in this
House and on the farm to make
it untrue will return us many
times over. ,
And it may be, of course, that
we have some excuse in St.
George where keeping the wolf
from the barn door has ’been
quite a problem for several years.
Predator control ís not some-
thing easy to establisíh but I do
feel it is important enough to
justify greater efforts than we
have put forward so far.
And it is the same with the
other products of the farm.
There is an oddly different value
between the egg the farmpr sells
and the egg the housewife buys.
It is an interesting economic
problem that the nearer the egg
is to the chicken the less it is
worth.
No one should decry the
importance of marketing and
distribution but we slowiy seem
to be reaching the point where
the only area of flexibility left
in 'the market seems to be that
occupied by the producer; other
charges are becoming more and
more rigid.
It is not only the farmer that
is suffering from this downward
surge of prices. The trapper aiso
has long been a victim o£ a mar-
ket which consistently reduces
the price of wíhat he has to sell
while never reducing or at any
rate not very much the price of
the final article made from his

product.
And in this, we in this House
are contributors to his troubles
Let me give you a few figures.
When a trapper sells the pelt
of a squirrel he can expect to
get around 33 cents on which he
pays a royalty of two cents or
approximately five per cent to
the Government. But when he
sells a muskrat, upon which
many trappers in this province
depend for the bulk of their liv-
ing, he gets around 48 cents for
it and yet must pay a royalty of
10 cents or very nearly twenty
per cent.
There is, I suggest, not much.
justice in this.
I do not want my maiden ef-
fort in this House to sound like
a catalogue of sorrows and there
will be many occasions on which
the problems whidh afflict my
constituents can be called to the
attention of members, as the hon-
orable member for Winnipeg
North has already mentioned.
The speech from the throne
contains much which will be of
help to the people of fhis
province—better roads, more
money for education, especially
for those areas where the need
is greatest, new hope íor the
quickening development of Nor-
thern Manitoba, reference to the
growth of industry which I sug-
gest is coming to this province
not only because of the great
resources that we possess but
also because the Government íhas
set the proper climate for invest-
ment.
We have a good province here
and one of which all of us are
proud, as well we might be. One
does not have to look far to feel
grateful that we have been so
biessed. But there is more to
be done and I know that as the
programme of legísiation for
this session is laid before the
House the needs of Manitoba
will be spelled out in an order
of priority which seeks to serve
the whole pfovince and not
merely a section of it.
In St. George we need many
things but we do not wish for
them at the expense of others.
A fair deal is the best yardstick.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for
your kindness this afternoon.
During the many years in which
you 'have sat in this House and
served here with distinction,
your reputation for assisting the
new member has become
proverbial. As the latest recipi-
ent of this help, may I say how
grateful I am.
My thanks also to all members
of this House for their tolerance.
