-PAGE=TEN ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1948 'Bureau Says "Progress' Being Made Ottaws, Dec. 2 -- 23 -- (CP) -- Figures 'released by the Health Department indicate that some progress.is being 'made in' the fight against venereal diseases in, Canada. In its report for the 1947-48 fis- .cal/ year," the department said that the: number of venereal disease cages reported by provincial health departments to the Dominion Bur= eau of Statistics dropped from 41,- 586 in 1946 to'33,476 last year. However, the department warned that "in "considering the figures it should 'be borne in mind that there are sirong reasons to suspect the reporting of venereal diseases, par- ticularly gonorrhoea, to be inade- quate. "Consequently," it said, "the fig- ures,: as they are presented, should be assessed on a basis of their comparison with related figures to related trends, rather than as representing the true picture of one of several aspects of the venereal Wiseage problem in Canada." 4 ollowing is a breakdown of the m is and- gonorrhoea cases re- ported by the Provincial Health Departments' to the Statistics' Bur- eau, with 1946 figures in brackets: Province, syphilis, gonorrhoea Prince: Edward Island 66 (50); 16 ON. 7 Nova Scotia 553 (658); 816 :(917).

Freighters from Canada and the U.S. have been arriving heré with only half their cargo space filled, and unless Australia's present dollar shortage is relieved it is believed some freighters will be transferred to other services. Several ships arrived in Austral- ian ports recently without sufficient cargo to make them pay their way and at least two British freighters are to be taken off the run in favor of charter service between Aus- tralia and New Zealand. Loss of freight is due to dollar restrictions on all but the most es- sential ' imports. The government announced in Canberra that Aus- tralian imports from Canada have been reduced by more than half during the past six months. Freighters are also affected by recurring strikes and "go slow" tac- tics on the Sydney waterfront, Ships have had to leave Australia without a full cargo to keep their sailing schedules. Shipping agents complain that Sydney is rapidly becoming the world's worst place to turn around a ship. Port authority figures show that since 1945 time taken to unload and load a ship at Sydney has be- come progressively slower until to- (day it takes more than twice the time to turn-about as it did in 1939. One of the main reasons for the slow work is the stevedores' reluct- ance to work overtime because of the high wages they are paid for | ordinary working time, RAF. flier was co-pilot of one of the 'ships. An American piloted one of the speedy British jet planes which flew recently to the Scandinavian coun- tries for a demonstration. Whatever. work - the - exchanged officer did with his air force back home, 'he continues to do on his new assignment. If and when a North Atlantic defence alliance develops, its de- fensive features are expected to rest largely on a chain of air bases and closely-linked air forces able to pour quick retaliation on any aggressor. Lessons learned in the present officer exchange program are likely to have high value in making such an. alliance effective. Co-operation In The Air Kept 'Warm' London, Dec. 3 (AP). --War taught the allies the need tor co-operation in the air, and in today's uneasy peace, Britain, the United States and Canada are keeping that co- operation warm. - For more than two years, now, their air forces have been trading both men and ideas. Officially it's known as the USAF.-RAF.- R.C.AF. program, The officers exchanged are assign- ed to tours of duty from a year and a half to two-years. And Washing- ton says the program will continue indefinitely. A terse announcement in January, 1847, disclosed the plan. In effect, it sets up an international system of post-graduate training in military aviation, Right now, according to officials in Washington, there appear to be 150 to 200 officers in the program. Mostly they are the pick of their forces, chosen for experience, apti- tude and adaptability. Some attend military schools. Others get on-the-job assignments. The officers share the same mess and same discipline as the men with whom they serve. There has never been an official breakdown of the exact assignment of officers "on loan." An Air Ministry spokesman here said the exchanged airmen engaged in nearly every branch of the service--from practice planning of aerial warfare to operational flying. When one of the first big Super- forts set down in England not many months ago, out stepped a British flying officer. He was a member of the crew.
