Minimum piece rates are as follows: Strawberries, 2 cents per quart. Raspberries, 3 cents per quart. Blackberries, 2 cents per quart. Gooseberries, 2 cents per pound (stripped).

If con-itions in a patch are such that the majority of National Service pickers are not able to make a wage equal to the hourly rate, the piece rates are to be increased until all faithful and eflicicnt workers are able to make the minimum wage of 17¢ per hour.

Canadian writers have no con? trol over the reproduction of thelf work in moving pictures. It is a card rent complaint that there are not enough Cunadian films.
