It will te seen that President J. S. McLean believes that unpredictable political fac- tors may count aimait as heavily as the pureiy economic elements Of the problern. It will be o! interest te farm readers ta note the following re- marks from the annual repart o! Canada Packers. We quate: "It must be remembered that in 3..live stock prices were iow in 'ton ta other produets It was in ie xpected that the advance in lv tock product s ,,,ould be greater than the average for al products. Nevertheless, the phe- nomenai advances recorded above inevitably give rise ta the foliow- ing queries- 1. Is the present level of live stock prices likeiy ta be main- tained? Note: If the embargo an ship- ments ta the United States is iifted, the immediate prospect is for still higher prices. 2 . If, finaiiy, there is ta be a recession. wii that recessian te graduai or 'vertical'? Note: Foliowing World War 1, prices cantinued ta advance for a Period of eighteen months after Armistice Day (November 1918 ta July 1920). Then a violent col- lapse af prîces set in. 3. If and when the decline cames at what(approximate) level are prices likely ta be stabilized? Note: At ieast one prediction seemns safe,-viz. that prices o! live stock products will not again sink ta the levels cf the 1930's This for two reasons:- (a) that prices in the 1930's were abnormaliy low; (b) that the post-war dallar is equivalent ta pre-war 50/60C. Ail three of the abave questions are cf the utmost importance ta live stock praducers and pro- cessors. But,-except for the in- serted notes,-no one as yet bas has the answers. At the present time, compli- cated and unpredictable political factors seèm ta count almost as heaviiy as the pureiy' ecanomic elements o! the pro'blem."' "One fundamental factor at same time will camne into play. The world's food is p)roduced from year te year. At any one time, whether food supplies are suffic- icat depends upon the iast crop. In a period o! short supply, the people go hungry. But if a bounti- fui crap foilows, the hunger does nat carry over. After a !ew days (possibly weeks) of heavy eating, famished appetites are rçduced ta normal appetites. Then the in- creased food supply will tend ta bring prices back ta normal (that is, narmal as established by the new conditions). The crop naw being harvested in the Northern Hemisphere lsaa bountiful (perhaps a record) one, This may prove ta be the year when mounting food prices wili turn downward." "Over a period o! thirteen years (1936 ta 1948, inclusive) the average net profit of the Packing Industry was 1/7 cf lc per lb. of product sold.

The operations of the Packing Industry, bath in buying and seil. ing, are carried on under condi- tions of keen and constant comn- petion. The live stock which is the packer's raw material is pur- chased upon the various markets throughout Canada. On each mar- ket numerous packer buyers coin pete for the live stock.The con- cumer is represented by a com- mission man. The commission man is an expert judge o! live stock, and his job is ta get the highest possible price for the animais consigned ta hirn for sale. That he is competent ta do this is ev- idenced by the speed at which the prices are farced up when supplies are short for demand. (Example. -Within a periood of four weeks, between Mlay 8th and June 8th, 1948, the price of Cattie in Canada was farced up 4 ta 5 cents per pound.)

Hogs and Children Both Need Special Attention Bulletin No. 8, issued by the Industrial and Develapment Council, Canadian Meat Packers, Oct. 1948, is headlined, "To foster a Better Meat Industry." Three pages are devated te information aon how te produce a better bacon hog. The lesson is sumrned Up: "A top quality hag is the resuit a! better breeding, proper teeding, correct finishing, close attention ta, the science o! animal husband- ry." It is a whoily constructive exposition, which, if foliowed pays off in important dividends. Tirne and again we have heard it said that gavernrnents psy mare attention ta the health o! animais than ta the health a! children. Departments o! Agricul- ture maintain Vetrinary Doctors and Agricuitural Representatives in every commnunity, issue reamns o! literature for farmers ta pro- mate a better livestock industry. Millions o! dollars are spent an- nually, and rightly so, ta buiid a better Canadian agrîcuitural ec- onamy. We have done a lot for chlidren toa, in matters a! public health, in furnishing farnily aiiowances, but in the abave formula for a better hag, one thing is lacking in the comparison with children. 'Phat is provision for healthful re- creation on the community level. The dividing line is the gift o! human intelligence, the faculty of communicating in words and writing just what recreation imeans te the "correct finishing o! a top-quality child." This problern is met in Inteili- qent cammiunities iby providing the best means possible ta youth for the development o! their per- ceptions tdward better citizenship. The comrninity o!

Morri- son who contributes a splendid feature ,irticle each week for this outstanding Georgian Bay weekly newspaper. As we read Mr. Mor- risan's comments fromn week ta week we have often t'hought he xvould make a good editor, and we've wondered, too, if his \ser- mons are as impressive and thought-provoking as bis writings. If they are his church shouid be filled every Sunday. The follow- ing article is addresscd particular- iy ta parents and sorne managers of picture shows might aiso read it with profit: WILD PRELUDE TO MATINEE SHEER HOODLUMISM Ever since 1 have been in the ares I have known of the popular- ity of Saturday afternoon matinees at the theatre. For children from my country communities wouid tell me about it. Weii, 1 saw for myseif what they are like. I didn't go. like the min- ister In "One Foot in Heaven" ta censure the recreation o! my boy. We went as a farniiy-three gen- erations o! us, because wve.vanted to see a picture about a minister and a boy and a dog. "The Ten- der Years." It was the tii-st cinema experience for aur two children. And it will be their last for a whiie. The feature picture measured up ta aur highest expectations o! it. In fac-t the 'strong" male o! the family wili have ta confess the need for a handkerchief dur- ing the showing. And even the smaiiest member of the farniiy enjoyed the story unfolded on the screen. That story reaily dignified the caliing of the ministry. It made one proud ta belong to the rninistry and ta the church. And 1 cornmend the theatre manager for bringing such a film ta aur area. But my impressions of the rest o! the experience leave much to be desired. It did not seern that the attitude expressed in the short features o! the show were very desirable for chiidren. At least, I would not feel happy ta have my chiidren exposcd ver often ta such attitudes. Perhaps there is littie that can be done by the local management ta contrai these shorts that are shown along with the màin feature. Though I arn sure that as a manager he would de- sire ta be as helpful a public educator as he could be. 1 do flot speak in criticism but in sugges- tion. It was more the awful prelude ta the pictures that bothered me. For at ieast 20 minutes and per- haps langer there was the wild- est exhibition o! undiscipiined canduct I have seen in a long time. There would probably be a couple o! hundred children there, running up and down the aisies. shauting at the top of their voices, throwing paper, puncturing bal- loons, eating pop corn, ice cream, popsicles and candy. It was sheer hoodlurnism. The ages o! the chiidren would range framn 3 ta 15 years. There .were few young people and very few adults. Those aduits present seerned entirely indiffet-ent ta what was going on. The children seerned completeiy without chape- rones. Sa, without anY restraining influence or any creative activity, thase children were creating a sit- uation which is a poor experience for anv of them and bad training for living. No wonder we have hoodlums in the streets when such conduct is allowed week by week without anybody doing anything Quickly Rulieves Distress of if ad <noi rmp cobld relieves snlffly, stuffy Sgt$distress o! head colds- ti nalesbreatliingeasler. dlirections In package. VI<KS VATRON OL UEFB MOBILIZES GIVE BRITAIN TO ...IN CÔLD WAR TO WIN THE PEACE REASON FOR- IE FB By centralizing buying and transportation, in- cluding deiivery at des- tination, substantial savings can be effected. The scattered efforts of many can be channelled into an efficient single stream of relief, without a loss of îndividuality as to persons, groups or organizations. MORE AID PER DOLLAR For example: the cost of placing a ready paFkaged 10 lb. parcel in the hands of a recipient in Brirain, exclusive of content pur- chase price, is approxi- mately $2.50 at present, whereas tbrough UEFB concessions the compar- able cost would be 57c ta 79c. This economy does not include the very substantial saving which buik purchasing effects. The gallant peole of Britain are suffering ta day because they are determined ta win the cold war. They are the only nation in Europe fighting with body and min d ta vanquish the spectre that haunts the OId World. Their health is being weak- encd, their efficiency impaired, by the tremendous restrictions they have imposed upon them- selves. They stand in danger of being defeated by undernour- ishment. Why? Because Brivin imnports four-fifths iess goods îhi-n before the war, yet exports more t.han haif as much again as in 1939. Says the British Ministry of Food: UEFB offers the best means of making your aid ta Britain effective nou. UEFB is a voiuntary organiza- tion set up ta collect, forward and distribute aid to the under- nourished people of Bnitain. UEFB purchases supplies in bulk. The British ,'Government sup- plies free transportation. The UEFB British Advisory Council assures that your dollars will buy what is most needed for those who need it the most.
