Page Eight THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13th, 1945 DAIRY CATTLE FROM CANADA TO MEXICO Believed to be the largest single shipment of Canadian dairy cattle ever sold to Mexico, 22 carloads taining 314 head have crossed the Canadian border on their journey south, the Departments of Trade and Commerce and Agriculture have nounced jointly. The shipment is made up of 35 purebred Holsteins from Prince Edward Island, 16 purebred Guernseys and 16 purebred Ayrshires from Madawaska County, New Brunswick, 195 grade Holstein in-calf heifers and 36 open heifers from all parts of the Maritime Provinces. The cattle were bought direct from 172 Maritime farmers, after 1 being selected by Dominion and provincial agricultural officials and private buyers under the direction ol W. D. Davies, assistant livestock chief, Dominion Department of Agriculture. The cattle were assembled and shipped by Maritime Co-operative Services, Ltd., Moncton, N.B: ROQUEFORT LEGEND The Roquefort type of cheese is now made in many parts of the world but it is named for a cave in France where it is supposed to have originated. The story is that a shepherd boy tending his flock in the vicinity of Roquefort caves placed his lunch of barley bread and native cheese in the cool of one of the caves until noontime. However, his flock wandered afar and several weeks passed before it returned to the spot. Remembering the lunch, the shepherd was surprised to find the barley bread covered with black mould and the cheese variegated with veined green mould. He tasted the cheese and, finding it delicious, placed the lunch he was carrying that day in the cave for further investigation. His discovery was noted by the Conques monks of that region and they are given the credit for clevelop-ing Roquefort cheese through the use of mould from this cave. Tuberculosis, the seventh cause of death in Canada. In 1912 it was the first cause. MEAT SHIPMENTS AT ALL-TIME HIGH Commenting on reports that British dock strikes have interfered with Canadian meat shipments, the Meat Board announced on October 31 that meat shipments are- now at an all-time high and that it has ample refrigerator ocean space booked to handle all meats now available for shipment. The Meat Board is shipping so much meat overseas that plain figures fail to convey the size.of its operations. The 110,000,000 pounds of meat which the Board has cleared or booked for clearance overseas s October 1st would fill a freight train stretching halfway from Toronto to Hamilton, Ont., or halfway from Saint John to Fredericton, N.B., or all the way from Calgary west to the foothills of the Rockies. Of this unprecedented quantity of meat exports, some 60,000,000 pounds were carried overseas by 15 steamers clearing Canadian ports in October. These October shipments include 28,-000,000 pounds of bacon and 28,000,-000 pounds of beef. RIGHT FOODS IN RIGHT QUANTITIES Ill-health and a shorter life are not the only results of malnutrition. People who are not well nourished often lack the energy and the ability --even the imagination and the will --to better their lot. They number perhaps three-fourths of the world's population. Some physical and psychological disabilities formerly considered inherited or inevitable are now found to be derived from a wrong or inadequate diet. Indeed, the newer knowledge of nutrition suggests that the majority of the world's people have not begun to realize their full potentials as human beings. An important part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) will be to correlate the science of nutrition with the science of agriculture, so that the right kinds of food will be grown in the right quantities to meet the known nutritional needs of the world.

PREPARE PIPING AGAINST WINTER This is the time of year when the Canadian householder should take stock of what needs to be done to assure that some cold winter morning won't find him desperately seeking help to rectify frozen and burst pipes, states a bulletin of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. First, the garden hose. The hose should be coiled away and the hose outlet shut off at the valve. Before shutting off the valve (which should be located somewhere near the point where the outlet goes through the outer wall) it is well to turn on the hose faucet. Thus, when the valve Is turned off in the basement, that portion of the pipe between the valve and the faucet will drain instead of filling up with a potential ice block. If you have another outlet to garage, remember to drain and shut it off, too, unless the garage is heated and the piping to it well insulated. Then cheek to make sure that none of the household piping is so < to the outside as to freeze. If it is, have it insulated. Check the radiators, even the ones in the little used spare rooms, to make sure that they haven't been turned off during the summer or fall and so be in danger of freezing. A little care now, points out the Institute, and possibly minor attention from your plumber, may save a lot of unnecessary unpleasantness and expense when the mercury drops T. W. HAWKE, V.S.;B.V.Sc.
