to
concede
that
it
might
be
a
'The
end
of
another
chapter"
was
Mr.
Hanson's
observation
on
noting
the
formalities
of
the
elevation
of
Former
Prime
Minister
R.
B.
Bennett
to
the
Senate.
"You'll
have
to
get
along
without
your
bacon
for
breakfast
now"
observed
the
Conservative
leader
to
another
member
of
the
party.
"But
that
won't
bother
me."
If
not
voluntarily,
the
people
of
Canada
will
have
to
get
down
to
gas
conservation
by
compulsion,"
asserted
Mr.
Hanson
after
asking
how
the
public
had
taken
to
the
appeal
of
the
government
for
cut-lng
down
gas
consumption.
