division of the qwnjl the editors column price control not so bad jn commop with other canadians we have been developing a new respect for the wartime prces and trade board during the past week as we read of the lifting of price ceilings in the united states and the sky rocketing of prices which resulted particularly does this seem to effect food price and such staples as but ter meat and eggs arg costing almost double what we pay here in canada in fact as we talked with an american friend at the beach last weekend we realized why he enjoys spending his summer here even though his american dollar no longer commands a ten per cent premium in detroit butter and meat are not rationed but try and find them in any quantity if one is able to buy butter at all it is usually restricted to a quarter pound to a customer and this sometimes has k last his family of four for several days bread is another item on the scarcity list and many times he has joined the lineup at 7 30 in the morning to buy a loaf of bread all of which adds up to the fact that we consider ourselves very lucky to be living in canada just now where prices have not been allowed to run wild softball to the fore softball fans are in for some heads up ball at the park these summer nights as the industrial league swings into action the trecreational council is super vising softball activities and has drawn up a new sche dule with two of the twelve games already played the recreational council is providing a trophy for yearly competition and crests for the winning team the four teams which comprise the league dayfoots smith stone alliance and businessmen have had a preseason warmup and are all in good shape for some real good ball more and more fans have been congregating in the park to see the games and interest is running high to pick the winner a track and field day with a program of forty events the field day on civic holiday sponsored by the recreational council promises to be the best ever held in this district the civic holiday show is the first major event sponsored by the council and will fill the double purpose of foster ing organized track and field events in town and mak ing money which will be used in this and other forms of recreation in the future the events will be run on the rmes of the british empire games in order to provide a better yardstick for competition boys classes have been drawn up ac cording to weights rather than ages junior boys are under 1 05 pounds intermediates under 1 30 and seniors xpen this is a trend which is evident in the city col legiate sports the program will get underway prompt ly at 1 30 p m on civic holiday as it is lengthy and must de run on schedule in the evening the council is planning a garden party in the park of similar calibre to that presented by the lions club on dominion day baby chicks for poland contributed by the bray hatcheries unrra officials in washington recently had an inquiry from poland for light sussex chicks in vestigation showed the most sa isfactory source was in canada so the canadian commercial corporation purchased for unrra 1 2 000 light sussex chicks with canadian dollars for shipment from the bray hatcheries to poland three of these shipments have already gone for ward by railway express to newport news virginia they arrived in first class condition and were transfer red to battery brooders fed and watered in a proper brooder room at quayside until the ship was ready o sail the battery brooders were transferred to the ship and the chicks fed and watered during the ocean voy age vast quan lties of feed as well as dure bred cattle and horses are going forward in an effort to try to ve establish the warwrecked countries this method of transportation seems o be well thought out on the part of unrra officials and the chicks should arrive at destination well started and ready to go ahead with no lost time these chicks on arrival in poland will be placed onxlvernmentcontjolled farms and raised ftys season the progeny next season will gp out to the general farms to rejdace andreplenish the ordinary bocks tie lcereu that are in the mixed chicks with these fefcwe4 oh dusting flocks which will supply new blood and help grade up the peasant flocks that remain here and there in tre country it is interesting to note that while endeavouring to get the national economy of poland on a sound foot ing the unrra officials have evidently recognized the necessity of having something for the poles to ex port probably to the british market and have chosen the light sussex as being the breed most hkely to com mand the premium paid on wellfinished whitefleshed chickens for which this breed is renowned mr w a brown canadas chief of poultry services as early as 1 935 visited england and made a survey of the british market finding mat large quanti ties of chickens were being imported from eastern eur ope in 1 938 the imports of chicken on to the british market were over 55000000 lbs birds uniform in size and fleshing averaging about 4 lbs in weight brought premium prices ft interestingto the western canadian farmer is the possibility ohising light sussex cockerels on new hampshire flocks already on western farms this would produce a cross very similar as far as market requirements are concerned to the light sussex the light sussex x new hampshire cross is very oopular in eastern canada where a considerable amount of cross breeding is being carried out under official gov ernment supervision the british market has been known to pay as high as 2c r er lb premium on well finished white fleshed chicken while visiting in england en route to the world s poultry congress in 1 936 mr bray realized the impor tance of the light sussex breed as being an ideal table bird and one that lays a large quantity of high quality eggs as indicated by this strain winning the english daily mail egg laying contest in 1936 this breed even at that time showed great promise as a market bird that would have adequate fleshing at 4 lbs arid yet would make economical gains up to seven or eight lbs in 1937 the first importations of this strain were made by the bray hatcheries since then careful sel ection for egg production and meal quantities have been carried on continuously and the results in the hands of the growers have created an unusual demand for this breed it is a breed with remarkable vigour and stam ina with practically no fall moulting and little broodi ness the word light refers to colour only and not to weight of the adult bird now is the
