IGT TNA Canada's 1946 Price-Wage Policy Although the Canadian Govern- ment will maintain its control over prices and wages during 1946 it will follow a policy of gradually easing restriction. In the case of prices the WPTB will consider upwarl adjustments even when an industry cannot prove that its financial condition warrants price relief. Up to the present time, prices in Canada have not advanced to the same extent as in many other countries of the world. Prices in Canada at the end of 1945 were about 42 per cent above the pre- war level as compared with an average rise of 85 per cent in the group of countries with which Canada carries on a large part of her foreign trade. Under such circumstances, Canada feels that she can afford to permit a further increase in prices. The Prices Board has already put its easier price policy into effect, with the relaxation of price control on more than 300 con- sumer goods and services. In the case of wages, the NWLB will consider increases if the wages in one industry are low as compared with wages in a similar industry in the same or in a comparable locality. It will also consider wage increases if they are consistent with the main- tenance of existing prices of the goods and services which an em- ployer sells. In view of the wage-price policy which the Dominion Government has now adopted, it may be ex- pected that the price trend will be gradually upward during 1946, and that there will be some up- ward re-adjustment of the wage level.-- Alexander Hamilton In- stitute, Inc. Men's behaviour should be like their apparel, not too strait, or point device, but free for exercise or emotion.-Bacon The Battle of Words By R. J. Deachman I have been looking at Han- sard, thinking what a wonderful thing it is! The bound volume of the recent session will total 3,828 pages, approximately 825 words to a page. If we multiply one by the other, the pages by the num- ber of words on a page, we have -well what do you think we have? I tried this out with some peo- ple, asked them to guess-the highest figure I had was a million and a half the 'lowest, one hun- dred thousand. Two girls of ex- cellent intelligence in my office made guesses. One said a million and a quarter, the other in youth- ful innocence, fifty-eight thous- and. To be honest with the lady she was thinking of the product of a single day-not the full sea- son's battle of the words. The answer is 3,158,000 words. Do you doubt? Go count them your- self and see. Does anyone ever read Han- sard, some do but not many. It takes about six minutes to read a page, allowing a moment or two for thinking in order to be certain of the speaker's meaning-quite a job, at times. With 3,828 pages this will take 22,968 minutes or 382 hours. If you read two hours every week night beginning Feb- ruary 15th you can finish the stunt by August 31-hop to it. What would the reacter get for his task? Well, he would get a lot of wise things. I am not scoff- ing at Hansard, although I do feel that it is too prolix, too redun- dant. It has much in it not worth saying-and a great deal that is. If only some smart publisher were to take a year's Hansard, make out of itaa nice littembound vol- ume, say 100 pages, and call it "The Wisdom of Hansard"-he might sell it. Listen! I think I hear a voice saying: "Better make it 200'-never mind I may have been mistaken, I stick to the hun- dred pages.

BownianvilleI least one copy. If his naVie were repeated two or three times show- ing that he had either much wis- dom, or a reckless spirit he might buy a dozen for his friends-if he had the money. If a big publish- er would onlytry this thing and give us a handsomely bound vol- ume, the best of the year so far as Hansard is concerned-it might take-anyway it would be f nice volume fôr the parlor table-quite recherche, don't you know! Once upon a time when I was very young I had the idea that every word in Hansard was true. I reached this conclusion in a pe-s culiar way. I wasn't foolish0 enough, even at ten years of age,' to imagine that 245 men discuss-t ing different questions from dayt to day, not to mention a womant or two, would always be right. Oh no, I never was so vain about mankind as that, or even about womankind. I did think, howev- er, that always there would be somebody in the House willing and ready to correct mis-state- ments and that once an iteii ap- peared In Hansard tawould be absolutely correct. . That by the way was the most1 foolish thing I can recall from1 my youthful days but at that« time I did not know how shy and diffident was the lady we know as "Truth." I had no idea how long one must search to find Her, nor how elusive She could be. Nor did I understand then, as I do now, that what seems to be Truth today may not seem to be Truth tomorrow and though the fondest dream of my life might be to reach out with my hand and touch the hem of Her garment- it will be but for a moment and again She is gone. Death By Cancer Is Increasing But Can Be Cured More cases of cancer are being cured than at any previous time in history, yet cancer as a cause of death is on the increase in Ontario. There are a number of reasons for this, besides the age- old reasons of fear and ignorance. Doctors say that the fear of can- cer is as difficult a problem as the disease itself, because so many people sign their own death war- rants by refusing to face the facts and do something about it. This ostrich-like attitude is responsible for a number of the thousand deaths from cancer each month in Canada. Many of these deaths are needless for a majority of all cancer cases are curable if diag- nosed and treated in time. The war contributed to the in- crease of cancer in Ontario. Dur- ing the war it was essential to direct major medical and scient- ific effort toward defeating the enemy. During the war years Canada lost twice as many citi- zens through cancer as soldiers were killed fighting. Triumph of medical science over other "killing" diseases has contributed to the increase of cancer. As many of the "younger" death-dealing diseases such as tuberculosis, infantile paralysis, etc., are brought under control, and more people live to a greater age, cancer becomes the great "after thirty-five" menace of this Province. The last reason for the appall- ing number of deaths from cancer is lack of funds. Patients caitnot afford to pay the cost of their treatment, and in the past there have not been enough hospital beds availabie for free care. .Healthaauthorities estimate that for every case under medical care, there are three cases going un- treated, and probably heading toward certain death. On the medical side, lack of funds contributes to cancer deaths because of the prohibitive cost of radium and x-ray equipment. It is hoped that the Chalk River plant established for atomic en- ergy enterprises, may provide fuiradio-active asubstances.pet- The Ontario Cancer Treatment to eliminarc thee reasos if teir present campaign for a minimum o! $2,000,000 is successful.

F. Jamieson Tire Depot King St., W. Bowmanville1 -Gi NO RUSH YET Given about 12 hours of sun- shine and a little warm weather at this time of the year and the average man or woman is liable to get in a dither about getting the garden planted. This is a na- tural reaction after a cold or tough winter, but experienced gardeners, arid the medical pro- fession too, advise caution. There is no need to rush the season in most parts of Canada. True; early, hardy flowers, all nursery stock, grass seed and some of the first vegetables can be planted just as soon as the soil is fit to work. And fit to work is im- portant. There is nothing to be gained and sometimes there is actual loss by digging the soil when it is too damp. In clay that will result in mud and, later on, lumps that may take weeks of hard work to pulverize. If one can walk through the garden without getting the shoes muddy, the soil can be worked safely, but not before. If it crumbles when released, it is bafe to proceed with digging or blowing but if it compacts into a ball then the ex- perts say to leave it alone for a day or two. Beginners are cautioned, too, against planting all the gardenton one afternoon. Itis far better to spread out the plantings. Beets, carrots, beans, spinach,glettuce, radish, etc., can be planted every other week or-so right up to late June and the harvest will be spread accordingly. Flowers, too, can be spread over several weeks. Some things, however, like grass seed, nursery stock, garden peas, sweet peas, are best all planted early. Bedding plants like pe- tunias, zinnias, stocks, spider plants, tomatoes, cabbage, etc., should not be set out until all danger of frost is over. Tender things like gladiolus, cannas, mel- ons, squash, corn, etc., also come in this category. Seed is Cheap but Important No matter how favorable the weather or how rich the soil re- sults are going to be disappointing unless one uses good seed. This costs but a few cents a packet but it is vital to success. Not only is it important to use good seed, but aorseed thatuis suitablefor Canadian conditions. Something that might give wonderful results in England or the Southern States may be no good at all when plant- ed in Canada. On this account it is advisable to stick to purchases from Canadian seed houses which only carry seed suitable for grow- ing in this climate. Proper Tools A few special tools will make gardening easier and much more enjoyable. In this category are the three and five-pronged hand- drawn cultivators, dutch hoes, narrow hoes, weed spudders, edg- ing tools, digging forks and oth- ers. These are designed to han- dle special jobs and get into cor- ners and close to growing plants. With long handles, too, they will save the back. Tools must bq kept reasonably clean and sharp. An old file will do both jobs. Some gardeners keep a pail or bushel basket filled with sand into which some old crank case oul has been dumped. Shoved into this the tools will keep clean and free from rust. Transplanting Watering is one of the secrets to successful transplanting. Boxes of bedding plants and nursery stock should be kept moist and when contents are set out, water should be added. Roses, shrubs, vines and trees should be water- ed thoroughly in dryish weather, soaking the ground at least once a week until growth is well start- ed. To conserve moisture culti- vate ornamental trees 3 feet al around until mid-summer. Presbyterian Ch. Building Fund Presbyteries and congregations of the Presbyterian Church in Canada were informed today that $500 000 of the two million dol- lar objective of the Presbyterian Church Advance for Christ will be placed in a church building fund to provide church buildings in strategic places in new sec- tions of large cities and key cen- tres of Eastern and Western Can- ada. Various boards of the Presby- terian Church have submitted es- timates of their needs and in- cluded in these needs is the sum of $291,650 for the extension of missionary work in Canada. This will be organized and operated at well-spaced centres throughout the Province. A pilot clinic at Kingston, Ontario, is already un- der way ,and should be in oper- ation this summer. This model clinic will provide surgical, x-ray and radium facilities, and will serve as a consutative ana edu- cational centre for the practicing physician in the community. The three-year plan will also provide prevention clinics where necessary, and will make funds available to those needing finan- cial help. An energetic program of education and research is also planned. The month of April is Cancer Control Month throughout the United States and Canada, and is the first concentrated effort for an all-out war against cancer. All funds raised in Ontario will be used for the relief of cancer in this Province. A minimum of $2,000,000 is needed. Donations may be taken to your nearest bank, or sent direct to the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation, 22 College Street, Toronto 2. includes money for opening new1 mission fields, setting up new mis-t sion buildings, training workers and the extension of the Mission- ary and Deaconess Trainingt School. For the restoration of buildings and equipment in the Presbyter- ian Church's missionary enter- prises overseas, in British Guiana, East Asia and Indiae $210,350 will be earmarked. An additional $20,000 is required for living quar- ters to be rented to missionaries home on furlough. For the reconstruction of Eur- ope's Protestarit Churches dam- aged or destroyed by war, $43,000 will be set aside. Young People's Camps, Young People's Societies and Sunday School work requires $35,000. The sum of $150,000 is requir- ed for teaching in Knox College, Toronto, and another $150,000 to strengthen the Presbyterian Col- lege in Montreai. A haf million dollars is need- ed for the pension fund of the Presbyterian Church and $50,000 for Penmarvian, a home for re- tired ministers, and for the Eph- raim Scott Fund which gives aid to needy widows and orphans of ministers and needy retired min- isters. Plagues Hit Malta Funds Badly Needed The Malta War Relief Fund of Canada has just received word from Malta that not less than four epidemics,-bubonic plague, in- fantile paralysis, undulant or Mediterranean fever and murine typhus have hit the people of Malta during the past eight months. A. G. Cutayar, president of the Maltese Society.of Toronto,.said that the latest information mdi- cated that the bubonie plague andinfantiletparalysis outbreaks are on the decline but some anx- iety is felt over the continued increase in the number of cases of undulant fever. The first five dollar subscrip- tion of the current Ontario cam- paign to help equip two hospi- tals intMalta hasubeen received from a woman in London, Ontar- io. The donor writes: "Having been fortunate enough to have been born a member of the Brit- ish Commonwealth of Nations, I felt that I would like to add my little bit for relief to that staunch little island, which, like the Bri- tish Isles, could take it and save us over here from the powers of evil which threatened us then." BUS I have no clothing for him. It is here very bad late, hunger, cold and German. By war- misery is my man sick of want. He drove chauffeur of motorbus. Twelve year married, 38 years and have three kids, boy six year, two girls 9 and 11 year." That, in dictiopary English, is the story of much of Europe to- day. It will be the privilege of Canadians, out of their compar- ative abundance, to help relieve this distress.
