'They . should have been heard 'in December, but for undisclosed reasons have been held over for the latter part of January. : There are two aspects to the Edible Oil Products Act as it stands now. It prohibits the man- ufacture and sale of any imita- tion of a dairy product, like ice cream, cheese, whipping cream, ete, if edible oils-are mixed with . milk or a milk product, ; It per- mits, however, such imitations to | be made from edible"oils and other products, e.g, barley flour. The law does not provide. for compensation to - those 'whose businesses it destroys, The com- "panies in question have been in '~business' for one, four and five sears respectively, They. started = manufacturing their products . 'When it way perfectly lawful to do so. : When compensation was n.en- tioned, the acting minister of ag- riculture said: "Compensation, heck, no! We are going ta tight you." } It's very much like a store owner being told to clear out, because the government needed his land to put a highway through. What Mr. Bumble Said This attitude of the government practically forces these compan- ies to stay in' business and make imitations of dairy products with- out using a dairy product in the process, The competition of veg etable oils will still be with the farmer while at the same, time, milk is closed, ay What is needed is some research work into the whole complex of edible oil and dairy foods. Un. til it is known what should be- manufactured with and without milk, all imitations of dairy pro- ducts should be banned and rea- sonable compensation paid to those who get hurt for the bene- tit of the common good, The present law is unjust to some small manufacturers; on the other hand it was supposed to give protection to the dairy farmers, but "it any law s os that," said Mr. Bumble, "the law is @ ass--a idiot" * This column welcomes sug: gestions, wise or foolish, and all criticism, whether constructive or destructive 'and will to try answer any question, = Address i bled before, and EA Ne a ERICA 20k z Hele Tash ON Ey "Doesn't Dare Cash ; | Winning Ticket Although he had never gam- farin foreman Gabri- ele Missi bought himself a ticket in Italy's oldest and biggest lot- tery when he passed a vendor selling. them in the streets of his native Genoa. For he had remembered that" "it was the first anniversary of the death of his mother, who had gambled unsucesfully on the lot- tery all her life, The ticket he bought was in memory of her: No. H-64306, With it he also received a post- card bearing the same number-- a free ticket to another lottery run by a film company. Gabriele sent it off, but in his excitement forgot to put a stamp on it. Then, . a few days later, his wallet was stolen from his pocket, It contaimn. ed about $25 ~. and his lottery ticket ° : When the radio announced that No. H-64306 had won the fivst prize of 50,000,000 lire (about $75,000), Gabriele ' nearly went frantic_in his efforts to prove that he was the: winner, He ap- pealed to the film company to back his claim, But they refused . . with so many thousands of postcards to go through, plus the added probability that Gabriele's unstamped one had never reach- ed them anyway operate, since on -the back of each lottery ticket isthe stipula- tion: that the winning one must be produced in its original form. So Gabriele has been robbed of his -huge prize. And somewhere, no-doubt, the 50,000,00 lira ticket is still in the hands of another-- who daren't produce it for- fear of being charged with theft; UNSOLVED MYSTERY A group, of serious-minded.lad- ies in Providence, Rhode Island, staged a seance, After the med- ium had impressed them all no end with the usual display of table raising and floating banjos, she announced that if anybody present would like to speak to the dear departed' she thought she could arrange things.
