J.. dru, IWDT EXDI TORIALS Living on' the Fat of the Landi While Others Go Hungry Did y ou feel guilty, ernbarrassed or elated when you read the article in The Statesman 'lthat citizens in Durham County apent more for food than any other consumer product?" Furtherrnore, we were above the average in our eating for hoth Ontario and Canada. 'Evidently, the women folks are ' not worrying much about retaining their girlish figures, nor the men in cutting dawn their calories in behaîf of their "bay windows". Ail of which would indicate times are good in the banner county of Durham with good crops and employment at a high level. Maybe it might be well for us. in such favorable circumstances, to cansider howv people in less fartunate countries are eking out a bare living. That thought carne ta vur mmnd as we read the latest repart issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The connection between low incomes and inadequate diet is strikingly illustrated. One table in this comprehensive FAO repart issued in Rame shows the cost of a representative diet of 3,000 calories, for one persan for one day, represented 4Y2 hou rs' work by an average factory worker in India. The same ane-day food supply represented 3.8 hours of work in Japan, 3.2 hours in Italy. By contrast, the figure is 0.5 hour in Canada, 0.4 in the United States. This particular table is based on 1953 levels. Three different diets were used for this compilation, the 3,000 calory one being the highest. Others had 2,500 anc! 2,100 calories. "It is apparent that in the poorer countries," says the report, "the more nutritiaus and expensive diet would be utterly beytbnd the means of the average factary worker, unless he were a single man without dependents. "Even for the meager diets usually consumed in these cauntries, the number of hours ta be worked is greater than is necessary in economically developed cauntries for the much superior diets which they enjay." Even an eiementary knowledge of' nutrition could go far ta avercome the handicap of poverty, says the reportL Greater emphasis on home ecanamics and consumer education could have important effects on health. Where average incames are too low for a fully balanced diet for everyane, there is much ta be said for channelling a larger share of the "pratective faods" ta the most vuinerable graups, including children and mothers. The report calîs the spread of school meals'and other welfare schemes for such purposes one of the most encouraging deveiopments since the Second World War, and one af the most striking resuits of the grawing knowledge of nutritional prin- ciples. But, it finds, large sections of the neediest of the world's people are stili untouched by these developments, and what remains ta be done is much greater than has been accomplished. Some of aur brilliant farmers' sons who le! t the farms years ago for the "bright lights" and greater opportunities in the metropolitan cîties might stili have been down on the f arm plaughing a straight f urrow, seated on a tractar, if they had keiown what the future had in store for them, according ta the following stary. Next ta milking cows, and they don't do much of that by hand any more, hoeing raw crops like corn probabiy decided mare country boys ta leave the farm than any other sinigle chore. They won't have that excuse much langer. There is a field of corn an the Ontario Agricuitural Coilege farm at Guelph this year that has neyer seen a cultivator since it was planted. Yet the crop is excellent An expert in such matters says that zince the turn of the century the average rate of inflation in Canada has been between 2 and 3 per cent per annum. If this continues, he adds, a young man of today can expect ta pay- about $1.15 for a pack of cigarettes when he retires at age 65. A low-priced car will cost him about $10,000, a bottle of whisky $20 and ready- made suit of clothes about $200. But the rate o! inflation is increasing - primarily due ta labor union demands for wage increases without corresponding increases in production, coupled with mare spending by governments - and may Two emblems have gained national recognition in Canada - the beaver and the maple leaf. The beaver has been a significant feature o! Canada's history and development from earliest times; the pursuit o! its skin was largely responsible for first opening up the country. It dates as an emblem at least fram the early l7th century, when it appeared on a coat of arms granted by Charles 1 ta Sir William Alexander, who held Nova Scotia as a royal grant and later extended his interest ta other parts of what is flow Canada. The beaver has appeared on There is a campaign an this continent urging al young people ta stay in school until they have at least finished high school. Anywvay that's what it says in a release just received. The campaign literature points out that English, Science and Mathematics are the most important subi ects. The persan who speaks and writes correct English (with particular emphasis on speliing and punctuation) is a real asset to any organ- ization. More and more employers are ask- ,j~ for youmz people with a high school eucation. Those without this background and one has ta hunt ta f ind a weed. This O.A.C. experiment indicates a way ta grow corn withaut any expensive cultivation. In this case a selective chem- ical weed killer was used - samething that wauidn't hurt corn but is deadly ta most other growth. There are a few prablems yet ta be ironed out, of course. But similar eariy difficulties with new products and processes have always arisen and been overcome. Eventually we can expect that for every commercial crop grown there wiil be a chemical treatment that wiil keep dawn ail competing growth. With some lines we have that protection already. The man with the hoe is an his way out.k increase even faster. With an inflatioh increase of 5 per cent per year the young man can expect ta pay $2.50 per pack for his cigarettes when he retires, and $425 for a low-priced suit. If it goes up ta 10 per cent and stays there, his smokes wiil be costing him $15 per pack and a low-cost suit in the neighborhood of $3,000. The figures seem fantastic, but they are based on simple arithmetic. They show that the best chance of future secur- ity for any o! us lies in the sound economic policies which will ensure that money put away for a rainy day will be worth some- thing if and when the downpour cames. Canadian memorial medals, coins and postage stamps. The mqple leaf has become the chie! element in the new design of the Canadian Coat o! Arms and was the badge of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in World War I. It was used as early as 1805 as the particular emblem of the French Canad- ians, and was sa described in the Quebec Gazette o! that year, while the thistie was mnentioned as the emblem of the Scottish Canadians. Its use broadened and a literary annual of 1847 ref erred to the maple leaf as the chosen emblem of Canada. are at a disadvantage that will increase as time goes on. Industry can help by en- couraging young people ta continue their education, and by providing part-tîme jobs. Sa we urge everyane to take an interest in schoals, thraugh School Boards, Parent-Teacher Associations, Home and Sehool Clubs, etc., and help young people to continue their education. Another gaod idea is for parents ta discuss their child- ren's educational possibilities with their teachers. Did More Than Required Recent issue of Canadian Banker con- tains article about wamen who are mak- ing a career of banking. Comment o! Miss Mary Pollock, assistant ta the manager o! a Montreal branch of the Bank of Montreal, quoted in the article, suggests that certain o! the ahd-fashioned virtues are not without their reward in the financial world. Miss Pollock, who started as a temporarv stenographer, had na thought of making a career of banking. She savs, "I merely found that my job wvas more interesting if I did more than the minimum required." The Fort Erie Letter Review ]n com- menting on this incident says, "It is gaod ta know that in banking, and in other areas o! endeavour ta which unionism bas not penetrated, there's stili a place for the kind o! people wh o derive satisfaction out o! doing more than the minimum requir- ed. Had Miss Pollock been a union mem- ber, she would undoubtedly have been a mast unhappy persan. For Big Labor regards those who) do more lhan the minimum required as guilty of a mortal economic sin.

It is now ex- Pected that the building wil be opened during the month of December. Durham County Farmers' Ca- op, supported by its membership of 350 farmers, cbiefly from Clarke and Darlington Town- ships. undertookthe project this year at an estimated cost of $69,0006.00. The present mill, south of the village, bad become outdated to handie the volume of business which bas mounted each year and wbich is expected to grow in tbe future. The new inilI, located north of Orono on the Counties Development Road, bas been designed to carry the increase in business and also to, handie future growth. Included In the planning of the building are provisions of floor and dis- Play space in order that services mnay be extended to the farming Three ln One The new Mill is actually a combination of three buildings, being a showroom and office section, a warehouse section and a miII section. The show- room and office is one storey on the eastern extremity of the building and is faced with clap- board. The interior, we under- stand, is to be finished in ply- wood with a tule ceiling.

Public Are Big Users 0f Provincial Parks By This Year's Records Whatever the reason, visitors and campers have taken advant- age o! the recreational opportun- ities a!forded by our Provincial Parks ta a degree beyond an.v use experienced in previaus years. Although the current season was the first year an ac- curate record o! day use was Possible, reports from all dis- tricts across the Province indi- cate a much heavier demand than ever experienced. In the spring o! this year regulations made under the Pro- v'incial Parks Act provided that an entrance fee of $1.00 be charged for each car entering a Provincial Park: a windshield sticker issued authorized such vehicle ta enter any Provincial Park any number o! times. "Park records as of August ,15. indicate that 113.710 separate vehicles have entered our Pro- vincial Parks, and indications are that the majority of these vehicles entered a park several times during the period. Figures wiil be available at the close o! the summer vacation period which ý.'il indicate the total number o! entries made for the 1957 season," Lands and Forests Minister Mapledoram said. '*Although each of the Forest Districts, under- whose direct supervision these parks came, have substantially increased theiîr parks staff and mainten- ance programme. the incraased use ta which these parks have been subject, have taxed the facilities beyond that which was expected," the Minister added. "It is ýery evidant that the Parks Division o! the Depart- ment af Lands and Forests wil be callýd upon ta axpand al facilities and services in operat- ing parks, and ta plan for de- '%etolpmelit in other arcas which arf, vreýzentlv beine lheld in reserve for future development. "The number o! parks bas been increased !rom six in 1955 ta 67 in operation this year with many other areas being held in reserve as hake access points or for development as demand and available funds permit. In ad- dition ta these, several areas in the more heavily populated sec- tions o! Ontario will be consid- ered in the overaîl development programme. "A camping vacation seems ta be captivatîng a rapidly increas- ing number of people, ta such an extent that physical facilities available could not accammodate ahl those seeking campsites in several of aur smaller parks. even though the capacity of some o! these parks has been aimost doubled within the past twa years. "~The Parks development pro- gramme o! the Department of Lands and Forests envisages the expenditure o! about 11'ý million dollars on new fadilities and the modernizing and expansion o! existing servides and park road extensions. These improvements are now underway, and will ha available for use next year. "Preliminary records compiled from informa tion sedured as a resuit of specific surveys ta measura various kinds o! publie demands, amongst other things, indicate that 24%7o!o park users wera first time visitors. This gives some indication o! the scope of developmant required ta keep up with the naed."

Committee Recommends Seed Prices At a recent meeting of the Seed Marketing and Publicity Committee, Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association, the following suggested mini- mum prices were recomrnended: Winter wheat-Registered No. 1 grade, $2.35 per bushel, Certi- fiel No. h grade, $2.10 per bush- eh; Commercial No. 1 grade, $1.90 per bushel. Winter Barley-Registered No. 1 Grade, $2.25 per bushel; Certi- fied No. 1 grade, $2.00 par bush- eh; Commercial No. 1 grade, $1.90 per bushel. Rye-Tetra Petkus variety, Commercial No. 1 grade, $1.75 per bushel; other varieties, Commercial No. 1 grade, $1.50 per bushel. These prices are for treated seed in new bags, basis at farm. or local shipping point. During recent years the pur- chase and use of properly dlean- ed and graded seed ahready pre- pared for the seed drill and purchased direct fromn local dealers or growers has increas- ed tremendously. Farmers find that this practice pays, par- ticularly in these times of labor shortages and increased costs o! production. The adoption of this favorable practîce,* together with timely and efficient atten- tion to cultural practices, fertil- ity and variety, have been im- portant factors towards increas- ing crop yields. The Commit- tee recommends that these practices be continued, and points out that any seed beld over from year to year should be carefully treated again before seeding. Acreage of winter barley is on the increase. Both Kenate and Hudson varieties are sat- isfactory, and large scale tests for malting are now being made with the Hudson variety. It is considered that these varieties can now be grown successfully, particularhy in Central and Western Ontario. Tetra Petkus rve is also pop- ular, and tremendous yields are being obtained. It is being used for pasture, silage and cereals. Excellent crops of ail cereals and conditions for harvesting have fortunately prevailed in practically ail sections of On- tario, particularly in the East. W. E.

'The top storey will ac- commodate bins for prepared feed and grain elevated fromn the grinder, mixer or roter.

When completed the new miii will provide a much faster serv- ice with a minimum of labour The average amount of lite insurance in force on each man, woman and child in Canada was $1,870 at the end of 1956. This is disclosed in the latest Canadian Life Insurance Facts (1957) booklet, just published by the Canadian Lif e Insurance Officers Association. According ta the booklet, Canadians bought more new life insurance in 1956 than ever before. Their purchases totalled $4.4 billion, $1 billion more than in 1955, and $2.5 billion more than in 1950. As a resuit, by the end o! 1956 Canadian familles owned a total of $30 billion of life ln- surance. This was double the amount held only seven years earlier. An eÊtimated 7 million Can- adians were policyholders by the end o! the year.-43 per cent of the total population. This represents an increase o! mure than 17 times the number et people holding insurance poli-_ dies at the turn o! the century, when 7 per cent o! the popula- tion were policyholders. The average amount o! lite insurance owned per policy- bolder was $4,350 at the end of 1956 ,as compared ta a 1900 fig- ure o! $1,200. "Canadians," says the book- let, "have steadily increased their life insurance saving, des- pite wide fluctuations in total saving. It would appear tliat in bath good and bad times li!. insurar.ce is one of the main channels of saving for most Canadians."

Salvation Army Plans' Extensive Pro gram Salvation A r m y officiais, alarmed by continuahly increas- ing calîs upon their services in prisons, alcoholic rehabihitation centres, unmarried mothers' homes and welfare centres have announced that a new and strang emphasis must be laid upon "preventative" work. While there will be no cut-back in re- habilitation efforts, more stress will be placed upon curbing the varlous forms o! delinquency before tbey happen. A Salvation Army spokesman said today that the Movement stihi believes that "thQ surest way ta ensure good citîzenship is ta lead men ta God." First expression of this new Salva- tion Army emphasis, said the spokesman, will be a nation- wide evangelistic crusade de- signed to link up non church- going people and get them "from the pavement inta the pews." Fi! ty thousand Salvationists from Newfoundland ta British Columbia will unite in special prayer for the crusade through- out the month o! November at homes. Following a tra!ning period, each man and woman wilh be sent out as "a living link between Christ and the people," intent on bringing ite fellowship wîth the cburch ail those presently outside its influ- ence. Parents o! children who attend Sunday School or other character-building movements, but do not attend a place of worship themselves, will be cail- ed upon. Active participants in the crusade will be readily dis- tinguished by a hapel button bearing the slogan, "God Seeks You!" As the crusade gathers mo- mentum great evangelistie cam- paigns wilI be held ail across the cauntry.
