\ Self-Sufficient In Cod Liver Oil Canada's "New Industry Is Re: fining the Product For Medi.» cinal_ Purposes War has cut off Canada's sup ply of imported cod liver oil but the Dominion rapidly is becoming self-sufficient in that product, Dominion Government Authorities concerned in. its development de- clare. "It all spells interesting and profitable possibilities for this country," said Mrs, Phyllis G. Turner, technical adviser to the Canadian Oils Commissioner, For the first time in history, she said, Canada this wirter exported tested medicinal cod liver oil. REFINERY IN QUEBEC A new refinery at Quebec City is expected to aid greatly in so- lution of what Mrs, Turner calls "The greatest difficulty--the task of getting a Canadian output of tested rather than just crude oil" "The fishermen of Gaspe for years have been packing the cod in barrels and obtaining the oil by sun rotting." she said. "The resut was a low prade oil, suit. able cnly for tanning and other industrial consumption. - But we think the new Quebec plant will help: in eliminating that." Oil is extracted from the cod livers at about 40 small plants along the North Shore of the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes and another refinery centre is located at Halifax: "The industry is growing," said Mrs. Turner, "and it may possibly become a major busi- ness. Toward Better School Vision Educators' and Oculists' Co- operation Would Benefit Children With Poor Sight Educators and psychologists must co-operate with doctors and spociallsts if the lugging health program in schools of this contin- ent 18 ever to catch up with the educational program. That's the belief of Dr. Emmett A. Betts, director of the reading clinic at Pennsylvania State Col: lege, who urged co-operation as the "key to success" in solving the reading difficulties of students. "Teachers are not trained to ex- amine a child's eyes, and oculists do not know a pupil's school ditfl- culties," he said. "Co-operation, therefore, is the key to success." He declared, however, that teach. ers should be able to administer the relatively jon developed to date. These tests, ho pointed out, are sufficiently re- liable for survey purposes, and the 'teacher can then recommend cases for further examination and inter- pretation by the eye specialist. Hunters Bring Fixearms Here ring 1940 Hunting Season, 9, U. 8. Sportsmen Car- rled Their Own When They Crossed the Border Into Can- ada Almost 9,000 <portsmen from the United States brought firearms into Canada during the 1940 hunting season, under permits fssued by the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Although Canada is at war, bona fide tour. ists and visitors from Allied or "neutral countries may still obtain permits enabling them to import firearms for hunting or for gun club use and for trap shooting. CONSERVATION OF WILD LIFE Canada's game resources are one of the primary attractions which "bring thousands 'of "tourists and gportsmen into the country annual. ly. Although*the advance of civil: .. {zation has almost always had the eftect of driving the game back and restricting its range, Canada still possesses a vast hinterland which affords unspoiled natural habitat for many forms of native wild life. Land and water highways, railways, and airplane services have brought the former back- woods reglons within easy reach of the great centres of-population, but tho appeal of the forests, lakes and open spaccests us powerful as ever, and they aré now accessible without hardship or delay. © eo guard against depletion of Canada's supply of wild life, the Dominion and provincial govern: ments have adopted reasonable _ measures of conservation, (ame laws' reguldte the hunting of anl ~ mals by limiting the cateh and 'providing closed "seasons, Game ar and national and proyin: "parks, in which no hunting is {tted, gerve as roservoirs, the sorflow' from which restock sur- rounding areas.
