Packers plants, Toronto. According to Mr. Carroll, \ packers make their pro- fits, not from the meat itself, but from by-products, such as hides, wool, tallow and bristles from hogs. The latter are used to make shaving-brushes. The animals' glands are used in the making of drugs such as insulin. Conti- sone, a new medical product, is made from acid derived from ox bile. Altogether the by-prodifets of the Canadian meat-packing industry total 127, Mr. Carroll said. The Toronto plants of Can- ada Packers employ 39 chemists, he stated, of whom twelve are engaged in basic research.

The town will agree to accept a $200. lot fee for each dwelling sold instead of $400. which would have been in effect until 1951, "Central Housing made it very clear they will not pay us the $400. per house," Councillor Free- man told council Monday night.

It would also be wiser, he contended, than waiting until 1951 "When houses may not be So readily sold." He re-assur- ed Councillor Cooke that present tenants would mot have to move out if they did not wish, or were unable to purchase. He stated monthly payments after sale would, in most cases be no higher than present rentals.

ORDERLY BUT ACID Stan Portch, chairman of the meeting kept proceedings well in hand, and the three-hours long discussion was quite orderly al- though somewhat acrimonious in spots. At one point Jack Orr, ex- chairman of the board, suggest- ed that it would be a good idea if W. G. Sargant, who was speaking, "would stay at home and mind his business." Let's Pay More W. H. J. Tisdale, first to spealk, laid emphasis on the importance of good teachers to a child's ed- ucation and character. "When I learned that about 50 percent of the teachers were leaving year after year I questioned if that was a good thing for the coMmunity," sald Mr. Tisdale. "I am certain it is not. If it means more taxes to get a better education for our children, let's pay more taxes' Mrs. P. H. McKim, a former schoolteacher, endorsed Mr. Tis- dale's sentiments.

Councillor Freeman sald he had every sympathy with the opern- ors who wanted the by-law. If he was In thelr place he would have wanted it too.
