THURSDAY, JUNE 8TH. 1939 To Advertlse King of Fruits The Statesman lias been advocating for years in its editorial and news columns an intensive advertising campaign and suitable mnarketing of Ontario appies with a view to increasing the consumption of the "King of ail Fruits." It was therefore gratifying ta know that every apple grower in On- tario who produces 100 bushels or more per year will be asked by ballot to approve or disapprove of a simple scheme of adver-, tising under the Ontario Farm Produicts Marketing Act whereby an assessment of one cent per bushel wouid be paid into a fund administered by the Apple Advertis- ing Committee of the Ontario Fruit Grow- ers' Association to bc used exclusiveiy in the advertising this fall and winter of On- tario apples in Onîtario, Winnipeg and on the Montreal -Quebec markets. Growers prodisceing iess than 100 busheis would be exempt from the assessment. The Apple Advertising Committee of which George H. Laird, Woodstock, is Chairman, is sending an explanatory letter with each ballot ta every apple grower in Ontario of wiceh there is a record and they wiil be asked to vote and return the ballot immediateiy. Enabiing legisiation will be prepared covering this year's crop if the vote is favourable. The modest voluntary advertising eam- paign put on in February and March this year was sucli a great suceess that the Comntittee decided an extended campaign would be the answer to a mucli heavier crop expected this year. Thousands of dollars in advertising are expended each year in Ontario by United States citrus fruit interests and wide-awake Ontario ap- pie men are thoroughly convinced that if the apple - "Ontario's King of Fruits" - is ta maintain his proud position, it eau only be done by judicious advertising. Other factors that corne into the picture include a greatly increased apple crop in Great Britain this year; the preferred posi- tion of Canadian appies in the Oid Country eut one-third by the British-United States Trade Treaty giving freer' access to U. S. apples i Britain and also the fact that many new Ontario plantings are coming into commercial bearing this yea\ for the first time. It is pointed ont that on the basis of last year 's Ontario apple production of 2,500,000 bushe.ls the growers would have a fund of $25»00 ta administer tiemeelves for their own benefit in advertisiug and other pro- motional work through the adoption of the proposed plan. Rural llealth Conservation Attention 18 drawn ta the value of the caunty healti imita by annaunement of the awards in the Canadian Rural Health Conservation Contest for 1938. Financed by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the con- test is conducted in Canada by the Cauad- ian Publie Heaith Association. For the second time the major award in Canada bas been won by the St. Jean-Iber- vilie-Laprairie-Napierville County Healt h Unit, the headquarters of which are at St. Jean, Que. This may came as a surprise ta many Ontario people who imagined Que- bec was backward in its social service work. Jud.ging in the eoigtest is made by a carefuliy selected group of health experts, the communities being appraised on the measures it takes: (1) to provide and saf c- guard it% water supply; (2) ta furnish ade- quate and safe sewerage disposai; (3) ta reduce infant and maternai deaths; (4) ta combat tubereulosis and syphilis; (5) to prateet its çitizens against other commun-* icable diseases; (6) ta masure ieaitiy ehild- ren; (7) ta proteet and safeguard its milk and other foods; (8) ta promote effective co-operation with its physicians and dent- ists in furnisiing neccssary services ta al those wio need them; (9) ta enlarge and imprave its lay-understanding of ways and means of preventing sickness and death and of maintaining good heaith. Rural healti conservation 18 onc of the mx)st important problems in Canada and it THE DUKE 0F MARLBOROUGH BY SCRIBE G month the total rate for the entire $100 amaunts to approxirnately 13% for the year. This may seem a whole lot iigher than that being charged by the chartered bankta under their persanal boan sehemes. The banks have evolved, a plan wiereby these boans are made at the rate of 6%7, and one bank alone lias donc several millions of dol- lars ini this line of business. Tic difference between thc banks and other iending insti- tutions is that the banks have their boans well seéured by guarantors, whereas the other lending institutions take the chance on those wiam the bank would be unlikcly ta deal with. Naturally wien the risks are greater, a larger rate of interest is required. Unfor- tunately there are plcrdty of people, not financiaily able, who need ta borrow amal sums ta tide them over emergencies. The banks will nat handle these, s0 that other loan companies have undertaken these risks. It has been this type of person who lias paid the shot of thc racketeer. Wc heard of a case of a woman in Toronto who borrowcd $5 from a boan shark, and for five years paid 50e intcrest per week on this loan, and then stili owed the original $5. That woman aetually paid $130 in interest on a $5 boan. Under the new systemn where interest rates are limited, and all maney lenders' books are open ta goverument in- spection much of the abuse will be donc away with. It is hoped that legislation later on will enable even more reasonable rates for people who find it neccssary ta borrow to carry them aover financial difficulties. Renders Real Service to Canada By mere accident we considered our- selves fortunate iu coming into possession of a capy of the 32-page special "Canada Number" of Thc Times of London, Eng- land, issue bon the occasion of the visit ta Canada of thc King and Queen. It 's interpretative articles by leading Canadians give a perspective of the Canad- ian scene, life and conditions that is sadly lacking within the Dominion. Amang the outstandiug contributors ta this. number are: Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King, R. B. Bennett, Vincent Massey, Grattan O 'Leary, Lord Tweedsmuir, George M. Wrang, Arthur Meigheu, H. L. Stewart, W. H. Dennis, Stephen Leaeock, Sir Robert Pal- coner, Sir Ernest Macmillan, Sir Freïderick Banting, C. A. Dunning, Floyd W. Chai- mers and many others. This special number of The Times carried a fine lot of Canadian advertisiug, and 1 these advertisements are not the least in- teresting of thc supplement 's contents. The fact is tiat tuis Times Canadian sup- plement, rcgarded as a whoie, constitutes a first-class advertisement of Canada, nat alane ta tic people of tic British Ilies, but 1 also ta the peoples of ah tice world, for The Times has a world-wide circulation, espec- ially among persoan high places. As J. C. Kirkwood remarks, neyer before iu ail Canada 's histary lias our country re- ccived an advertisement comparable in quality aud lu diffusion witi thc advertise- ment represeutcd by the Royal Visit, and anc feels that this floodligiting of Canada will have iasting effeets of tic best sort ou Canada rcgarded as a nation, as a country of immense strategical importance in world affairs, as a. land of industry, and enter- prise, as a land of oppartunity for those s passessing uncmpioyed or uuder-employed capital, and as a land for larger settiement.f Amazing Growth of Ilospitals The graduation exercises iast wcck for h Bowmanville Hospital 's Sehool of Nursing f again brought home to the public thc value and service this institution renders ta the community as well as the responsibilities and difficulties the Board canstantly en- counters.

In addition, however. the govern- ment bas taken its .first forward step) in many vears in providing for national defense.
