H. Hannam of Ottawa, president of the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, de- clared here. "The world is so inter-dependent today," Hannah asserted in an ad- dress prepared for delivery before the ninth annual National Farm Institute, "that is doubtful if any agricultural country can intelligent- ly plan and direct its food and ag- ricultural program without first en- suring that its plan harmonizes food exporting as well as food im- porting countries." Hannam said methods ing studied to achieve interna stability «include establishing mini- mum and maximum prices in the world market, international com- modity agreements, and organizing and giving direction to agricultural production and distribution on a world scale. An international plan to main- tain peace, Hannam said, will be more easily dome "if the nations first of all organize the feeding of the world on a more sane and orderly basis than has been done in the past." Expanding agricultural produc- tion--to assure the farmer markets at remunerative prices--must be ac- companied "by the means to dis- tribute an increasing supply effect- ively and equitably, and by a cor- responding accelerating rise in the general level of purchasing power of the people who need the food." Home Gardening By Slide-Rule Columbus, O., Feb. 17--(OP)-- Science has come to the rescue of amateur home gardens with a "slide rule" plan to take the uncer- tainty out of backyard rplanting operations. Harry R. O'Brien, an amateur gardener of 25 years standing, comes up with an invention for gardening- at-a-glance. It's a paperboard gadget on the slide rule principles which tells, in one simple operation, everything about any particular plant, bulb or vegetable. The paper ag slots hin slots in which 144 plant names, on a printed card, appear with planting time, plant habits, yield, hardiness--in fact everything except when devouring rabbits will show up. Italians Protest Peace Terms Pro testing signing of the peace treaties by their government which strip- ped Italy of her colonies and important territory and reduced her to the status of a minor power by virtue of stringent limitations on armed forces and heavy industry, crowds demonstrate in the Piazza Venezia in Rome, This same mob tore to pieces a wreath laid by U.S. ambassador Dunn on the tomb of Italy's "Unknown Soldier." Same day a British brigadier was assassinated in the Trieste area but most demonstrations produced little real violence. Peace In Steel Industry Assured by C.I.O. Union Toronto, Feb. 17--(CP)-- The United Steelworkers of America (C.1.0.) -- Canada's largest trade union--will not seek any new over- all increase until at least April 1, 1948 but instead will concentrate on a program of holding down and re- ducing prices, it was decided at the union's national policy conference. C. H. Millard, Canadian director of the union, told the 165 delegates, that if present price controls are continued and prices are reduced during 1947, now that production is on the upgrade, industrial peace may continue. "The contracts which United Steelworkers' locals have recently signed with Algoma and Dosco to- gether with the contract we hope to sign shortly in Stelco will guar- antee stability in basic steel until April, 1948 at least," Mr. Millard said. "This will also guarantee a steady flow of metal to manufac- turers." The union leader told the con- | military ference the wage standard set af- ter the basic steel strike last sum- mer would give the worker a mini- mum wage of 77% cents) an hour, permitting an annual minimum earning of $1,934.40 a. year if a 48- hour week is worked steadily. "If prices keep up or go higher, either by = elimination of existing controls by the government or de- liberate ernloitation of market de- mand aanufactur nen big business and government will have only themselves to blame if this union is forced to again secure an overall wage increase for its mem- bership by any means at its dis- posal after April 1, 1948," Mr, Mil- lard said. That's Most Of Us, Just 'Personnel' London, Feb. 17--(AP)--The aug- ust Times of London, esteemed by all Britons as their brightest guard- ian of the King's English, turned its editorial wrath today on the word "personnel." The French-derived synonym "It is possible, just possible, that a more degrading, a more ill- favoured, synonym for two or more members of the human race has at one time or another been coined," The Times observed. "But if 1t has, it has never gained the ubiquitous and tyrannical cur- rency of this alien collective. Per- sonnel, though in theory they are men and women, have only to be called personnel to lose their full status as human beings. "They do mot go, they proceed. They do not have, they are (or more often are not) in possession of, They do not ask, they make ap- plication for . . . "They cannot eat, they can only consume; they perform ablutions; instead of homes they have places of residence in which, instead of living, they are domiciled. They are not cattle, they are not ciphers, they certainly are not human be- ings: they are personnel." Army Recognizes Machine Age Ottawa, Feb, 17--(CP)--By act of Parliament, the army finally recog- nized that the mechanical age is here to stay. This development came through the adoption by the Commons of an amendment to the Militia Act to allow the army to seize "vehicles" and "aircraft" for . Up to now, un- der the act, this seizure was limited to "horses, mules, oxen or other animals." ; Wed Twice But Forgot Divorce Halifax, England, Feb. 17--(Reu- ters)--An 18-year-old youth, Char- les Victor Serbert, married a 24- year-old woman here.

GIVES YOU THESE TRADITIONAL DODGE QUALITIES... - DEPENDABILITY. Dodge from the first insisted on "D dability". It was the guiding principle when the first Dodge was planned and produced more than 30 years ago. Year after year Dodge engineering improve. ments give Dodge owners Extra thousands of miles of troublefree operation -- add to the traditional Dodge re- putation for Dependability. SAFETY In 1922 Doage scored a "First" in automobile safety with an all-steel sedan, Two years later Dodge again led with equalpressure hydraulic 4-wheel brakes for qui , safer COMFORT The thrilling Dodge Full Floating Ride results from more than 20 im- portant factors including Floating Power engine mountings; inde- d front wheel springing; stops. Regularly, Dodge has added new safety features such as safety glass, and Safety Rim wheels which provide protection in case of a blowout -- until to-day there is no safer car on the road, balanced weight distribution; plac. ing the rear seats ahead of the rear axle. In 1942, Dodge Custom was first in its price class with Fluid Drive -- the greatest motoring ad- vancement since hydraulic brakes and floating power. ECONOMY Dodge cars have always been economical to operate--BIG cars -- real value in every price class. The powerful odge L-Head engines have fewer moving parts, Among the many wear-resisting fea- tures are "Superfinish"; an oil bath air cleaner which protects moving parts from grit; and four rings per pis- ton for gas and oil economy. DODGE STYLE AND BEAUTY, throughout the years, has matched Dodge engineering and design. Each new Dodge is acclaimed as "more beautiful than ever" -- each new Dodge has added new enthusiastic owners to the ever-growing list of satisfied Dodge buyers.

Pair Is Freed by Jury Winnipeg, Feb. 17--(CP)--A ver- dict "difficult to justify in law but which makes a lot of sense" has freed Thomas Daniel, 37, and his brother-in-law, John Ferguson, 38, on a charge of strangling David Gentles in the rear seat of Daniel's automobile here last Nov. 3. A jury acquitted the two after de- liberating one hour and -35 minutes. Evidence said the brothers-in-law had taken the 47-year-old salesman . | for a ride in the hope of dissuading him from going around with Dan- iel's wife. : When Gehtles, becoming alarmed, tried to leap from the car, Ferguson pulled him back. Shortly after- wards, Ferguson noticed Gentles' hands were cold and a doctor they summoned pronounced him dead. Mr, Justice Dysart said that if a verdict of manslaughter had been returned he would have released Daniel and Ferguson immediately, considering the time they already had spent in jail as their sentence. He added that he could under- stand the acquittal and that he hoped the verdict would have some effect on the lawmakers. Dog Hero Gets His Reward Nelson, B.C., Feb. 17--(CP)--San- dy, a small light-brown. cocker spaniel owned by Mr. and Mrs. Rob- ert Welton, received a hero doggie's reward last night--a big, juicy steak. Last Wednesday Sandy discover- ed three-year-old Tommy Jamie- son of Nelson hanging head down- ward from a tree--his suit caught in the branches. The spaniel ran to the Jamieson home and barked excitedly until he attracted Mrs. Jamieson's attention. After several attempts to drive the dog away failed, Mrs, Jamieson followed Sandy and rescued her son. "The law as it stands seems to be defective. Gentles was entitled by law to be protected in every possible law. He could not be touched. But he was at liberty to steal another man's wife. If he had stolen a pig he would have been liable to pune ishment. But it was all right to steal a wife." The verdict was greeted with ap- plause and some cheers and Mr. Justice Dysart told the accused, who were embraced by Ferguson's 68-year-old mother and congratue lated by guards and friends, that "your behavior during this case has excited the admiration of everye one. x IN EVERY en WORD Pl re PLAYER'S NAVY CUT CIGARETTES dul 51.
