WOMEN CHARGED WITH DISINTEREST BY C.C.F. LABOR MEMBER Farm women wiil be intemested in the remarks cf the labor lead- er M.P.P. who spoke at Port Hope, January 13. We qucte verbatim from the Pert Hope Guide: Charles I. Millard, provincial C.C.F. member for West York, spoke in the Town Hall te a large audience. Wilfred Bcwies was chairman. Mr. Millard stressed that many were inclined to believe in the C.C.F. policies but had net the courage to make a stand and to come eut point blank and vote C.C.F. He expresscd disapproba- tion cf the lethargic attitude of women te polîtics and their back- wardness in voting. Speaking cf famm and industry Mr. Miliard obsemved that the guif between them must be bidged. A group cf workers, he statcd, cculd live on a group cf fammers. A competitive wcrld leads te war. A lot more energy must be put into the work cf the Cc eperative Commonwealth. Commenting en Hon. Dr. R. P. Vivian, Mm. Millard said he was a nicc man but with no vision.. Speaking of public heaith the speaker quoted some figures cf Dr. McCann, whe stated that oniy 40 per cent ef the people were pmcpemiy ncumished befere the wam. "Theme is ne eccncmic fac- tor in Canada that can justify povcrty," said Mr. Miliard. Even now he centinued, quoting again fmam Dr. McCann, 51,000 men were off work every day in Can- ada. The iack cf education in social and healthfui living casts the country in exccss ef $250,000,- 000 for iil-hcalth each year, and theme arc fifty times more cut of womk thmcugh sickness than through sit-dewn strikes. "It is 110 use," said the speaker, "mak- ing bathtubs, files and radium un- less people have the money.to pay for them." The speaker stresscd that al childmen shcuid ha given oppor- tunity te go as far as their abili- tics weuld take thcm. We have the ability, he said, to bring about the Kingdom ef Gcd en earth. But the main point of the speech was that if we can find the encrmcus sums of money to run the war, then why nct aise in peace time? Sooner er later we shaîl learn that the fetters cf man's finite capacity arc forged by the illu- sion that ha lives in body instead of in Seul, in matter instead cf in Spirit.-Mary Baker Eddy. MRS.J.

In that year Canada had 174,767,599 acres of occupied farm land, an increase of over eleven million acres from 1931. Improved farm land under crop was over 56 mil- lion acres, a reduction of two million; pasturage increased a littie, summer fallow up about a third to 23,649,852. Nearly four million acres was the reduction in woodland from 1931 to 1941 while marsh or waste land was down over a million acres. The war over in 1944? That would mean feeding Europe and quick. Given adequate ocean tonnage Europe need not go short of bread. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics says we would have 1,000,000,000 bushels, haif of it in Canada, available for shipment. The agricuitural conference in Ot- tawa in December recommended no wheat acreage increase for Oanada in 1944, regarding coarse grains, oil bearing seeds, peas, beans and corn as more urgent; aiso suggested a high proportion' of land in Western Canada be summer faiiowed which wouid be an asset if circumstances warrant- ed increase in wheat acreage in 1945.

H. Connor & Son Ltd. here started manufacture last week on a scheduie allowing 15 per cent of normal peacetime production for January, February and March. ... Governor- General's ievee on New Year's Day brought out about a thousand persons, the uni- forms outnumbering civilians nine to one. . . Oddity-a small Christmas card came for the dog of the Polish minister to Canada from the pet cat of a U.S. officiai in Washington, doggone.. It's been moving time for the Ottawa headquarters staff of the Consumer Branch, with the entire staff moving into the Freiman building and the director, Byrne Hope Sanders, into an office in the new temporary building erect- ed for the Wartime Prices and Trade Board just across from the Chateau Laurier hotel on Sussex Street. It's two years since the Branch came into existence. Dur- ing that time 13,000 Canadian Women have enlisted as active of- ficers, whiie other hundreds of thousands have waged reientless war against higher prices. Hous- ing registries operated under this Branch's supervision found homes for over 60,000 Canadians, and close to a thousand women sit on Local Ration Boards. 1Some 6,207 members of the armed forces discharged from j services were placed in empioy- ment by Selective Service in No- vember, the total since April, 1942, being 78,936, the Pensions' department reports. In the same period 62,960 veterans of the first Great War got the same service. These were not ail permanent jobs, of course, but inciuded oc- casionai and seasonai jobs. An- other interesting angle about the 1same subject is that unempioy- ment assistance to pensioned vets. of the First Great War hit an ail- time 10w in November, 119 getting $2,880, as compared with say, August 1939, when 5,636 received $122,954. age was in 1940 with 28,726,000 acres, but in 1943 it dropped te 17,448,000 acres, the objective set fer this year. Astronomie, we cal] it, the figures of cest of this war to Canadians. World War I, inciud- ing two years of demebilizatien, cost us $1,670 millien. Compare that with the figures, up to the end of this fiscal year, estîmated for the present war at $10,824 million. Total tax revenue for the 1914-18 fracas, including the demobilization years, was $1,121 million. For this war $7,300 mil- lien. In 1916 our population was around 8,140,000, today, or rather 1941, it was put at 11,506,000. Do you know that the new ex- plosive, to you and me only known as RDX, (Research De- partment Explosive) was devel- oped by five Canadian scientists, and that it may increase greatly the striking power cf the United Nations? This week (from Jan. 17 on) canned salmon is rationed and will be available on grocery shelves, packed in one-quarter, one-haîf and one pound tins, with valid meat coupons, already is- sued, te be used on the ratio of one quarter pound salmon per coupon. Only a portion of the 1943 catch is available for civilian use, the WPTB deciding ratiening te be the oniy equitable way of distribution. Other canned fish such as pilchard, tuna, herrings and sardines are net rationed. About 2,000 of the 100,000 odd men discharged fromn our armed forces since the beginning of the war have enrolled for gevernment sponsored university and voca- tionai training courses. 0f 850 who completed training, 780 found employment in industries for which they were trained. Men with honckable discharges have a choice of sixty courses. Estimates of exports of Cana- dian foodstuffs for 1943 to ail countries show why this 'country is deing such a tremendous share in the total war effort of the United Nations. Here are a few of the figures available, with 1938 figures in brackets for compari- son: eggs, over 40 million dozen (1,842,538); cheese, about 120,- 000,000 lbs. (81,000,000); bacon, about 600,000,0,00 pounds (170,- 837,400); dairy cattie and calves 35,196 head (7,063). Odds and ends cf interest: Good news for ladies, a Prices Board ruling allows a littie increased supply cf hairpins and bobby pins; also for f armers more pro- duction of barbed wime. . . res- trictions have been removed from factories in Quebec and Ontario 50 that more Canadian Chedder cheese will be available for the home market. . . In the six air observer schools operated by the Canadian Pacific on a non-profit basis for the British Common- wealth Air Training Plan, air- cmaft has fiown more than 41 mil- lion miles. .. From Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, 1943, 417.865 blood donations were contributed to the Red Cross blocd donor ciinics across Can- ada; the record week was in Oc- tober with 16,297. .. it is estimated 400,000 men, and at least 100,000 women, have left farms sînce 1939. but to help overcome the farmn laber shortage some thou- Lsands cf older people who he 1 retired came back to help... Sounds far fetched, but isn't. It is estimated that the annual >gross value of dairy products in recent years has been piaced at cver 301 million dollars, aimcst 100 million dollars higher than the estimated annual value of goid production in Canada. The Lsale cf miik brings cheques ta about 420,000 farmers, and te this number might be added around 40,000 empîcyees in distrîbuting and manufacturing plants. Some authorities estimate at least cne- fifth of Canada's population is de- pendent upon the dairy industry for a living. Oid Bcssy is quite an important figure in aur econ- omy, isn't she? 1ýThe Canadian horse hair dress- ing industry has increased from. a production cf 150,000 lbs. to 400,- 000 lbs. As a resuit consumers iwili be suppiied with more effec- tive paint brushes. VETERAN AGRICULTURALIST GIVES IbIS VIEWS ON FEDERATION 0F AGRICULTURE Decision to Unite Rural Schools 0f Great Advantage Says Dr. J. B. Reynolds. In a recent interview Dr. J. B. Reynolds of Port Hope gave some interesting history on the Federai, Provincial and County Federation of Agriculture, later going on to tell of the recent two day con- vention of the Federal Federation cf Agriculture in Toronto. Dr. Reynolds himself is a mem- ber cf the Federal Federation and is aise a member cf the board cf directors for the Durham County Federation cf Agriculture. Dr. Reynolds explained that first to be organized was the Fecleral or Dominion Federation cf Agricul- ture to be followed by the Pro- vincial Federation and later stili the County Federation which was introduced to give each farmer an opportunity to be a mnember cf the County Federation and, by so being, aiso be a member cf the Federai and Provincial Federa- tiens. Bargaining could now be car- ried out by means of commodity organization. Dr. Reynolds expiained that the Miik Centrol Act and Farm Pro- duce Marketing Act were ruies set down by the Federai Federa- tion of Agriculture, te guide and to help farmers belenging te smaiier cemmedity associations, te de their own bargaining. "This gave the farmer the power te say 'This is the price, if you want aur products pay our price',"' said Dr. Reynolds. Speaking later cf the meeting in Toronte, Dr. Reynelds said that between three and four hundred people were present from practic- aily ail counties of Ontario te hear the Minister cf Agriculture speak at the banquet. He thought that the highlight of the coniven- tion was the resolutien te make the levy, which is imposed on al farmers who seli their cemmod- ities through a commodity associ- ation. Matters also discussed with keen interest, said Dr. Reynolds were the Public Health Services and Rural Educatien. Many dis- cussiens took place, but ane cf local interest was the decision to unite the rural schoois of Wei- come, Mcrrish, Pine Grove, Zion and Bunker Hill in Hope Town- ship. "The advantage cf this can be ciearly seen,"' said Dr. Reyn- olds, 'it means that under one board of trustees supplies may be got in quantity, and so reduce the cost, and aise teachers may he more easily distributed among the schools. Organization as a whoie will be improved greatly." PrurhkI- Intense Itching Relieved quo*ckly byfMhs Medicnai Oinment There are two forma of itching which ame Sepcal distressing.
