duced the subject at the meeting.| It was agreed that something ; should be done to discourage the | use of bulls of inferior breeding in Canada and it was felt that Holstein breeders should lead the way.* There is a difficulty presented, in the inability of the Department of Agriculture to extend the R.OP.work during the war.In support of the suggestion that the qualification of a bull's dam be based on type alone, it was argued that grading took production possibilities into account and it { would be very seldom that a high producing cow would not grade at I least \u201cGood Plus\u201d.Mr.R, M.Holt- \"by addressed the meeting and warned against forgetting the big producer.He said: | \u201cThe Holstein cow has reached * her present popularity not on type i or test but on her ability to fill the pail\u201d He further stated that the proposal to limit the registration of bulls would be no hardship on the small breeder\u2014\"\u201cHe only raises bulls from his best cows now, it's the | big fellow who keeps every bull calf born in his herd who should be made to veal some of them.\u201d Several voiced approval of his remarks and some even voiced the opinion that there were not as many high producing cows in the country as formerly.After prolonged debate it was decided that the cow which could produce 50 per cent more milk than required , to earn an R.O.P, certificate on 2X milking was sufficiently outstanding to be the mother of a bull regardless of her grading.It was unanimously agreed that the pro- .posed amendment be supported with that provision.\u2018\u2019 The meeting also decided that the fleldmen should not be asked to do the grading for Selective registration.As a result of the expected increase in applications for Selective Registration additional work will be thrown on the fleld- men without doing the actual grading.It was therefore strongly recommended that outstanding judges be given part time employment to do the grading.The Holstein Journal also announced that J.Durno Innes of Woodstock had been appointed Chief Inspector of Selective Registration at the Dominion Extension Service Committee meeting on November 10th.He is to succeed R.M., Holtby, who has asked to be relieved of his duties because of poor health.Mr.Holtby is being retained in an advisory cape- city to assist in reorganizing the grading staff.A motion was passed by the committee expressing appreciation for the work of Mr.Holtby and regret at his retirement.Selective Registration of cattle has recently taken on a new importance with the proposal to restrict the registration of bulls to those from graded dams.There MEMBER OF THE ROYAL RED CROSS ~ ho Ww ER 2,06 \u201c 5 \u201cif L} ne Capt.(Matron) A.-Maj.(Princip- Al Matron) Helen L.Shanks, R.C.A.MC, of Ottawa, and Montreal, was appointed \u2018a Member of the Royal Red Cross, according to the lists of awards in the King's New Year's Honour List.Miss 8hanks is a native of Huntingdon and graduated from the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal.* She was appointed ta the Active Army in March, 1949, been graded once, the work can be carried on by four inspectors.The proposed plan is to have two graders in Ontario, one in the four Western provinces, and one in Quebec and the Maritimes.The grading in Quebec has been carried on to general satisfaction over the past few months by W.L.Carr of Huntingdon and it is hoped that he will be willing to do the work in the Maritimes as well.\u201d The Last Round-Up Time was running short.The.together visited several farms in Oxford County.\u2018The frail ailing, almost ghostly, Bob followed with his ever active and intelligent mind the work of the newly appointed grading staff.He found himself a seat when possible but keeping a finger on the progress, Dialogue of the Régistrars \u2018One breeder was discoursing at length about the achievements of his cows while the new inspectors wrote notes on the scoring board, Holtby interrupted to give a gentle lectufe on the futility of talk at this time by quoting from the old Persian philosopher, Omar Khayyam: Holtby: \u201cYesterday This Days Madness did prepare; To-morrow's Silence, Triumph or Despair : ss fill the Cup that clears To-day of past Regrets and future Fears; To-morrow!\u2014 may be Myself with Yesterday's thousand Years,\u201d At this point Bill Carr picked up the general idea and continued with: Why, to-morrow I Sev'n \u201cThe Moving Finger writes; and having writ Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wii Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line.Holtby: Nor all your tears wash out a Word of it.\u201d .eee Needless to say this spontaneous display of professional double-talk completely mystified those who overheard it.This true incident is humbly recorded as evidence that Bob Holtby did truly and nobly do all he could \u201cto give the extension staff the benefit of his knowledge and experience.\u201d .Legion Notes (This is the sixth in a series of ten weekly articles especially written for The Huntingdon Gleaner by Richard Hale, chief pensions officer of the Canadian Legion, Ottawa headquarters).By RICHARD HALE Ottawa, Nov.16 (Special) \u2014 A considerable difference exists in the rates of pensions for members of the women's divisions and men in the active forces.Provision is made for the pay- \u2018ment of pensions for disabilities resulting from injuries or disease and for dependents in case of death under the same conditions as contained in the Pension Act for tte men.There is also provision for pensions for dependent parents or children.The difference in rate, however, is very marked.In the case of a lieutenant, and all the ranks below that, only $720 a year is payable as against $900 a year awarded to men.In ranks above that of lieutenant the rate is proportionately lower also.The Legion has been raising strong objections to this differ- erice and has argued the case on the basis that a woman who is disabled is just as badly handicapped as a man who has suffered similar disability.However, the argument advanced by the government is that the rates of pay are less between the services and therefore the pension rate is decreased accordingly.BY the order-in-council was passed giving authority for pensions to the women's services the rates of pay have been T and while they are still not equal to the rate received by a man, it would seem that some increase in the pension rate is Indicated.The Legion believes that there can be little argument against equalization of pension rates as between men and women serving in the forces.Furthermore, should a woman lose her life on service and leave a dependent child, it is untalr that such Chie should receive leas pens: orphan, than is pald to the orphan child of a man.In the latter case, for the orphan child of a member The Legi jing overseas in May, 1044, sion for the women.last week in November Durno Ines};

packed sewn guile hurd and very uns even, making ~oiking vouh aifficuit and dangerous.The -xeuse uifered by the council ¥%as that there were no loses SiTONE enough to puil :he sidewaik DiOW irough such snow.The public aid men should de »neaged to shovel Hu: \u201che volks, BU: the council repiled that men were ot avaiable for (his work.During rhe past week another snowstorm visited is :rea md

and it is rightly so.The first storm could be excused, but subsequent storms cannot.The .tree:s have been kept plowed aut, although the width of the path s narrowing down {o almost a single track.Much more work will have to be done before the snow removal is satisfactory to the: people.The snow 3 piled so ugh along the edges of the roads that it is crowding the sidewalks *o :he point where it is almost impossible 10 keep the walk iree.Several trucks could De busy «very day carting away the SROW- SO uS 10 relieve the amount that is piled by the street plow ut the «ide of.\u201che road.The amount of snow {hat has fallen in such a short time is certainly great, but such a.situation calls for a rrenter effort in keeping;streets and sidewalks clear: Even some of the-fire hydrants are practically covered by the-snow that has drifted around and.near them and it would mean that hose would ave to run up and down over drifts if these hydranis had to be used.A certain space should be cleared at cach hydrant so as to make it readily avallable in case of fire.The sidéwalks being so covered with snow, makes walking dangerous because it is impossible to see: the cdge of the walk and as the snow is soft near the edge, it is easy to slp right down over \u2018he edge of the walk with nainful results.IE is certainly time \u2018he council took action toises that snow is removed as quickly as possible from the sidewalks and.rhat it is not allowed to pile up indefinitely along the sides of\u2018road.The narrowing of :he path on the roads\u201d creates a danger of collision and also to pedestrians who are forced 'o use \u2018his same path.All the blame cannot be laid on \u201che doorstep.of \u2018the Town Counetl, for the Gnvernment Roads\u2019 Department has also been lax

the last war.It has become common 10 expect the unexpected of this great man.so that nothing he does comes as a surprise any more, That being the case it was No great surprise when the announcement was made that he was in Athens to see if he could bring about à truce in the civil war going on in Greece.The one thing.that bothered most everyone was the dangerous position.this man had placed himself in.It would seem.that at least wo attempts were made on his.life.and that of other members of his party.while in Athens.A large quantity of dynamite: was discovered near the hotel in which the party made its headquarters: later, a sniper's bullet almost found its mark in: the body of the great Prime Minister.As would be expected from so great and courageous a man, when the sniper attempted to take his lite, he said \u201cWhat cheek!\u201d; or in other words, he was most indignant that anyone should.try such.a trick and expect to.get away with it.One hates to think of what the loss to the British Empire would be if etther of these two attempts had been successful.The faith of the British people ind thelr great determina- tlon :o fight this war t0 the end are founded in the steadfastness and determination of thelr Winston Churchill.He has moulded the faith of the British people at all times during this great struggle.When Britain was almost on her knees, Churchill came forth with one of his greatest speeches of encouragement\u2014 \"We {ight.alone.but we will fight our enemy on ihe beaches, in the towns and in the villages, wherever we are we will fight on until the end\u201d Dunkerque waa a major military disaster of thia war.but Churchill turned it into the biggest rout the enemy has ever ex- ærlenced.rom out of Dunkerque and the \u201cpæech made py Churchill

session of the British House MH Commons, and being severely oriticized on the policy with regard to the Greek situation.He was told he Was not handling the situation \"1 the right way, but he steadfastly maintained it was the only way to handle it.Not satis fied With things.he wert to gain first-hand knowledgs of the situation: and to try nd find a suitable answer to the problem.In this,

results are such that the difficulties will be smoothed out, then Churchill will have earned the gratitude not only of the British people but also that of the people of Greece.Greece has suffered much during this war and now that their lberation is within their grasp, they should be enjoying some rheasure of peace and the chance to re-establish their former mode of peaceful existence.* A Bouquet Well Deserved TÈSE are some people who do a lot of work for the benefit of the public which uets vhem nothing in the way of remunera- \u2018on and nothing in the way of praise for their efforts.Yet these people carry on with these tasks and never complain that they are being mistreated.Some such people are two of our townfolk in the persons of Mr.and Mrs.J.B.Barrett.For the past number of years Mrs, Barrett has taken a great interest in the Christmas Seals Campaign to raise money for the Tuberculosis Fund.In her capable hands this campaign has raised considerable sums of money each year to fight the $ * scourge of this terrible disease.Such work takes a considerable portion of Mrs.Barrett's time every year and requires a large amount of work to keep track of the amounts contributed through the sale of the Christmas Seals.All of this work and all of this time is cheerfully given in the interests of the cause for which the money is raised.When the job is campleted there is only the satisfaction of having done a job well.Mrs.Barrett does not ask for any consideration for her efforts and time, because she is only too pleased to be of assistance in such a worthy cause.During the past two years or so both Mr.and Mrs.Barreit have been looking after the issue of Ration Books for the County of Hun- tingdon and with issuing all kinds of information pertaining to rationing and the requirements of same.This is another job they are both doing without remuneration or recompense of any kind.This is a job that entails work and time throughout the entire year.with a greater amount of time when new ration books are distributed.Both these efforts on the part of Mr.and Mrs.Barrett are of great benefit to this community and we want to offer these two people a word of praise and thanks for thelr commendable contribution in behalf of all whom they serve.Such people are an asset to any community.THE GORE SCHOOL uocn, Dec.22.Christmas Carols wele subg alter which reports

time and opportunity for delinquency, and a study of the chief causes of juvenile delinquency will prove that the chief factor is the abuse of leisure during adolescence, In Huntingdon we have only the Academy gymnasium which is at all suitable for large community gatherings.Unfortunately this building is not available for this purpose; and although there are other places, the owners or trustees of which generously allow for public use, these halls are not large enough for general community purposes for a town the size and importance of Hunt- ingdon.If it is eventually decided to go forward with the idea of a Community Hall, the Legion feels that the time is now ripe.Our plans do ; not merely provide a memorial, but 1.A home for disabled comrades, to enable them to live out life in comfort and free from worry.2.A library and reading room 3.Recreational centre.4.The permanent meeting place of the Huntingdon Branch of the Canadian Legion.Such a building should be self- supporting, and we think this can be done, and would contain a large hall for banquets, card parties, indoor games, sports and gymnasium features; this hall would contain a large placque bearing the names of all comrades of this County enlisted for active service, with special honour to those killed in action or died on active service._ A special cémmittee of the Legion is now in course of formation, and various bodies in Town and County will be requested to appoint representatives to this Committee.The public are asked to give their views on this matter through the medium of \u201cThe Gleaner.\u201d The probabilities are that, as County communities have their own halls, and may desire to add to them #8 their memorial effort, the Town of Huntingdon will be asked to bear the ma jor portion of the cost of such a project, as the townsfolk would reap most of the benefits.\u201che var- lous publie bodies of the Town and \u2018County are asked to bring this matter hefore their members so that the committee will have the views of ench body.The community spirit in this town must be encorrraged and welded.and every effort made to bresk down paltry petty interests that may exist.Let ns plan solidly for the coming generations that they may be wiser than we who have fought two major wars, and none of us can aay that we are entirely blameless for the onume of these disasters, Yours truly,

la bein for fragments, 5 made with its rubber colleague will not be known until the company completes the current laboratory examination and the gruelling tests to which the new tire will be subjected.Experts agree that heat causes most tire failures and that great mileage could be rolled up if the problem were licked.Taking a long step toward achieving this goal, Firestone -engineers built the all- plastic to run cooler than today's tires and to withstand twice the heat a natural rubber tire develops at high speeds.This was done by thermosetting, or \u2018\u201cheat-tempering,\u201d the plastics which went into the 6.00-16 passenger car tire.The \u201ctempering\u201d was achieved by adding certain materiais to the plastic and applying heat.The Firestone all-plastic tire, which looks so mueh llke a rubber tire that only an expert could tell the difference, does not crack or check in the sunlight and, unlike rubber tires, it is not soluble in gasoline or oil.How soon all-plastic tires, if they live up to expectations, will be , available for civillan use is uncertain because all tire manufacturing facllitles now are devoted to building military and essential civ- flian tires.ORANGES NOW OFF SUBSIDY Owing to operation of a definite price ceiling on oranges in the United States, oranges in Canada will no longer he subsidized, it is

had stood the test of time and should be maintained and developed, but with certain defects\u2014such as luck of uniformity\u2014remedied.However, the report added that most municipal doctors are underpaid and over-burdened with work.As a result they had to accumulate contracts and engage in private practice in order to make a decent, living.There also was a temptation to practice surgery without being fully prepared for it.Remedies suggested included the organization of Rural Health Units, served from Rural Health Centres, and a system of minimum salaries for municipal doctors, such

neurosurgery, chest surgery ° or similar highly specialized treatments would be referred to larger Be: centres in the bigger cities.- Commenting that District Hospi- à tals should have full-time

by W.J.Tawse on Producer and Market (Continued) It is apparent the Alllea Nations are preparing for the years ahead, fully realizing the importance of a balanced prosperous agriculture.The Canadian Apple surplus is being exported to the United States this year for the fresh market and processing under the good neighbor policy.The exports of Maritime potatoes to the U.S.are returning 4 higher net to the shippers than can be secured in Canada as we have an increased crop while the United States production is down 54 million bushels from the 1943 total.Successful marketing depends on producing what the public wish to buy.Standards or grades have been established for most lines of production to facilitate trading.The good producer under the present grading system is paid for the top quality, the better pack and the uniformity of the product, while the careless producer receives the lower price.An excellent example is the reputation the Prince Edward Island potato growers have established for their pack which sells for a premium in Eastern Canada and in Boston and New York.Egg grading has increased the consumption of eggs and rail grading of hogs has, in spite of all tne arguments against it, raised the quality of Danish bacon to the puint where Canada was compelled to tol- low or lose its share of the British market.Fruit and vegetable distributors prefer the well-graded pack to the loose, ungraded produce of yesterday.Quebec under the inspection and market service is rapidly gaining new outlets in the Maritimes, northern points and Ontario.Before the war stopped the shipping, it had developed a profitable market in the West Indies.Part of the success is due to changes in the variety grown and the new cultural practices.Part is due to the market service which keeps the growers informed on the actual market quotations and the production in competitive points.It enables the producer to hold when supplies are limited, for the higher prices, or sell when ample supplies are in sight.The inspection service in close co-operation with the Dominion service is the buyer's guarantee he will receive what he bought.It is just as much a protection to the shipper that he will be paid even though the market may fall while the car Is rolling to market.The inspection on arrival leaves no doubt as to whether the product met the grade requirements and has placed trading on a firm foundation.The cost of distribution is high and many farmers are guilty as they ship too much off-grade, which is expensive to re-grade under city conditions, where wages are high and workers are not interested in the product.Many producers still fail to realize the importance of crop statistics so essential in merchandising their product.They fail to realize how easy it is under modern transportation to secure supplies from other points.This is where good relations with the distributors are so important as they can build the production if they will buy and distribute + the supplies available.It is impor- | tant to obtain the good will of both the wholesaler and the retailer.They are interested in the producer and special trips to the fields create a bond of sympathy more valuable than any advertising program.They are anxious to help and should be shown the result of a hail storm or the development of a new or better product.The Quebec Food Council among its many functions has been to bring the distributors the correct crop information and when necessary special sales have been made to move the product before the peak actually occurred with the result the market never broke.It has created a better understanding between the chain stores and the independents directly benefiting the growers.The large buyers have helped to impréve the grading and packaging by paying a premium over the market price.They have advertised the product as Quebec and strange as it may seem have led the way in helping the co-operative packers to market their new pack with most satisfactory results to the consumer and the farmers who grew the product.Success in marketing is not just a fine product, it Is also a question of friendly relations with the buyers who have gained confidence in the production and the information they receive.This is especially important when supplies are over abundant.This has been the alm of the Market Service to serve all of the distributors as well as the producers.They can assist in s0 many ways the production of the right product packed the way the consumer wishes to purchase it.Combination or tie-in-sales are important in merchandising as the salad dressing manufacturer is interested In featuring his product when head lettuce or tomatoes are available.The cheese processor is interested in salads along with the biscuit manufacturers.The Maple Syrup sales go with pancakes or waffles and have been made a feature by the restaurants.The Tea Bureau tied in its promotion of iced tea with the oatmeal manufacturer for cookies.Cereal makers have featured their breakfast foods with fresh berries and cream.Sales promotion will again be important in the post war years.Many producers are wondering why so many products have become fixed in the consumers\u2019 mind.The answer is the advertising behind the product.The California Fruit Growers spend $23.10 per car of oranges; $40.60 per car of lemons.Florida spends $15.00 per car of grapefruit.Maine spends $2.05 per car of potatoes and shipped 62,686 this past year.The battle of food stuffs will continue and every farmer must not only produce what is wanted, but he must be ready to include a contribution per package to help the distributor display and sell his pro- Valleyfield, sometime in February 1945.19 Theobald Hebert, Hemmingford.Que, killed when he fell into saw at the saw mills of W.Keddy & Son.duct in the future.The Quebec apple grower tried advertising and now packs in any container his buyer desires and collects the extra cash for the quality and pack which was not possible when sales were made on the trees.New advances in the frozen foods field coupled with cheap refrigeration will open new markets.Frozen foods present an opportunity for the local producer to grow more strawberries or green peas for instance, and frozen, these can be marketed when fresh supplies are no longer available.This frozen food field is rapidly becoming very important and will expand after the war beyond anything we can picture in our mind at present.Another field is dehydration which has been used so successfully for apples, eggs, vegetables.orange Juice and other products during the war.It is now possible to remove the fresh apple flavor, then concentrate the juice and at the end add the full flavor, which when diluted again to the correct proportion retains its full, true, apple flavor.New products are being developed constantly and with them thousands of new jobs are created.The electric refrigerator has created jobs for thousands of salesmen and servicemen.The radio has done the same and the automobile has made it necessary to have several garages in every centre of population where formerly there was only one blacksmith.New products have provided new services and employment opportunities us the following shows: 1870 agriculture employed 53.5.manufacturers 21.9%, service 24.67; .1920 agriculture employed 27.6, \u2018ter.of Montreal,

different birds und animals take their rest.Someone who took notes along this line tells us that: Elephants lie stretched out, their huge legs lying at full length, and the trunk curved under the body, when asleep.The rhinoceros lies at full length and almost always on the left side.Deer crouch low for their rest, with the forelegs bent under: the ninc ones drawn up; while the nead is turned to the right.An alpaca, when asleep, simply looks like a large ball of black wool; and volar bears, too, huddle up in a heap, with their noses buried deep in their white fur.and forepaws crossed over the eyes.Llamas, zebras, and buffalos rest as cows rest \u2014 with their forelegs drawn under them and their hind legs drawn in, Camels lie on their stomachs with their fore and hind legs bent under them, while their heads and necks are stretched straight out.Monkeys squat in their cages, their heads bowgd down over their chests, their arms resting on the thighs of their hind legs.The butterfly, like the bat, invariably goes to sleey head downward, its eyes looking straight down the stem of the grass on which it rests.It folds its wings to the utmost and thus protects its body from the cold,

moonlit night, a tramp on snowshoes or skils through the quiet winter woods, a riotous toboggan party on the hill back of the woodlot, skating on the pond there is outdoor fun a-plenty in wintertime.And after the fun comes the food.Simple it may be, plentiful it must be, for appetites are ravenous after exercise in the keen winter air.Baked beans, hot dogs, hamburgers, streaming hot coffee or j cocoa.doughnuts and rosy apples !are popular standbys but the Consumer Section of the Dominion Departinent of Agriculture has other suggestions that will go over well with any crowd.The first is soup.A good cream soup or fragrant chowder with crackers warms the inner man and takes the edge off the sharpest appetite, A favourite casserole dish will make a hit, so will creamed eggs, Spit fish or vegetables served on ; split hot biscuits.Most everyone enjoys \u201csnackwiches\u201d, The hostess [provides the sandwich makings and the Dagwoods take over from there.In the interests of the family's butter supply it is best Lo spread the bread beforehand or even work the butter into the filling, which is still more econSmical: lf the party is small in numbers, bacon and eggs,

Community\u201d has provided material for eager discussion among the members of the group.Opinions expressed during the | meetings were found to agree with those of the majority of farmers throughout the deminion, for farmers, generally, are aware that many changes must be made to improve their business and social side of life in order to keep young people fon the farms, and to make it pos- \u2018sible for future farmers to make a living.i A discussion of the Veteran's \u2018Land Act which provides financial assistance to veterans who wish to purchase farms, brought forth the conclusion that the returned soldier is not given enough money at the outstart, or a sufficient length of time free of obligation to return the loan, thus endangering the chances of his making a suc- | cess of farming.It is also felt that long term credits should be available to young farmers at lower interest rates and with more flexible payments, so that fariners' sons who wish to start up on their own farms will receive greater encouragement to stay on the land instead of moving into the towns or cities.Spooky Doings In Ancient Inn GREAT LEIGHS, England\u2014(CP) \u2014Believe in ghosts?Well, this

clock has been overturned and a wardrobe has been ransacked and clothes strewn all around, Sykes said that use of the bedroom had to be given up after guests invariably complained of being awakened by \u201csomething that looked lke a woman dressed in white.\u201d He reports that a body called the Hornchurch Psychic Circle examined the room before the war and decided it was \u201chaunted.\u201d

of Dog Moscow,\u2014The growth-promoting medicine which doubled the weight of a mature dog, restored an 80- year-old man to health and now is being used for treatment of hemorrhage and bone infections among Red Army wounded was reported by the communist youth newspaper, iKomsomolskaya Pravda.The preparation, Sympatometin, was developed 16 years ago by Prof.Ivan S.Chukichev from a mixture of albumen and sulphuric acid, the article said, giving this account: In his original experiments, Chukichev found sympatometin was beneficial in cases of rheumatism, asthma, and some nervous diseases.Its effect in spurring growth was discovered accidentally when a weak solution spilled on some flowering plants and they grew to three times their normal size.Chukichev poured some liquid sympatometin into a bowl of water containing frog embryos, and the embryos developed at twice their average rate.A dog given four injections of sympatometin in his stomach doubled its weight in four months.Its appetite was increased several fold.Sympatometin given to an 80- year-old man who was extremely underweight and too weak to work restored him to such health that he was able to work six or eight hours daily, and his parchment yellow skin became a smooth pink.In tests with a cow, Chukichev found that the milk output stayed at a constant high level for seven months.Sympatometin is called \u201cmushroom drops\u201d because of a faint odor similar to that of mushrooms.Chukichev now is using it for some wounded soldiers, claiming it checks hemorrhage and bone infections, the newspaper sald.WOMEN'S STOCKINGS NOT TO BE RATIONED The Wartime Prices and Trade Board Is not considering rationing women's stockings.according to Donald Gordon, Board Chairman, who has appealed for cooperation in stemming the unprecedented pre- Christmas rush for hosiery The chairman pointed out that production figures show that practically the same number of stockings have teen produced this year as in 1943, but this high output still cannot meet the terrific demand from nearly 4,200,000 women and girls over 14, He said that in this sixth year of war, there are more préss- ing problems than that of producing

plants, on farms, in shipyards, on railways, in mines, woods, mills and shops have combined to make an effective contribution toward winning the war, but hopes that 1844 would see the end of the conflict in Europe have not materialized.Mr.Mitchell's reference to the fact that Japan still has to be beaten was underscored by Senator R.V.Keane, Australian minister for trade and customs, who said in an interview that his country believes the war against Japan will go on \u2018for a long time yet, and that no slackening in Australia\u2019s \u201c100 per cent war effort\u201d is in prospect for a few years.For Canadians at home, 1945 holds no prospect for easier living conditions, Finance Minister Ilsley said in à year-end financial review.\u2018The Dominion's resources of men, materials and money must remain mobilized for war purposes.This means the continuance of restrictions, the possible intensification of shortages and scarcities; high taxes, \u201cvoluntary self-denial and a postponement of cherished plans.\u201d e Frice Controls Stay Mr, Iisley said that the danger of a runaway rise in prices will not disappear even after the defeat of Germany, since war-created shortages and war-inflated costs \u2018\u2019cannot disappear overnight\u201d and when Germany is defeated consumers will be anxious to make purchases they have deferred and will have \u201cplenty of money\u201d to do so.Consequently effective price control must be maintained until the need for it has disappeared if a repetition of the inflation and collapse which followed the 1918 armistice in Canada as well as in the United States and United Kingdom is to be avoided.1 find it necessary to import wheat in 1945, since the harvest now be- ling completed is estimated as \u201cwell below average\u201d was referred to last week by the Dominion bureau of statistics in its monthly review of the world wheat situation.The bureau said the combined contribution to the world's wheat supply \u2018of both Australla and Argentina :s \u2018little more than 50 per cent\u201d of the average, and Australia, far from adding to the world's exportable surplus, in 1944 produc- 2d little more than half of her own domestic needs.Australia must supply the armed forces in the Southwest Pacific, and Jjtaprearance of wheat into domestic feed channels is running at a high rate.Consequently, as fore- cently and by government officials, cast by an agricultural writer re- she may have to obtain imports.If so Canada is in as good a position as any other country to supply Australia, in view of reserves on the Pacific coast.ty would be that of obtaining shipping space to meet the need.RAILWAYS PLAN FOR POST-WAR SERVICES Toronto, \u2014 \u201cThe railways wil move to meet opposition and to regain, retain and create passenger traffic,\u201d said A.A.Gardiner, general passenger traffic manager, Canadian National Railways, speaking to members of the Canadian Industrial Traffic League.Post-war plans under study for passengers, he said include: well-timed low fare excursions; simplification of time limitations and rates on return tickets; reduced rates for quantity purchase; extension of checked baggage privileges; reserved seats in coaches; increased speed of trains and frequency of service; garage facilities at stations; \u201cpopular priced\u201d meals on trains; improved coaches, sleeping cars and station facilities; a more convenient arrangement of tables in dining cars.>\u201d NOISY SCARECROW FRIGHTENS DEER Downicville, Calif.Oct.(CP)\u2014 Fed up with nightly deer raids upon his victory garden in the High Sierras, Deputy Sheriff Stanley N.McCormick invented an animated scarecrow which flaps its arms wildly, sending the deer fleeing back to the woods.At two-minute intervals, McCormick's scarecrow cranes its neck and throws its arms Into the air, noisily clattering together round tin-can lids which are tied to its hands.He says it \u201cworks like a charm.\u201d Cutting a five-gallon can diagonally, McCormick attached it to one end of a lever, securing the other end to the operating part of the scarecrow.Water runs from a hose into the can which dumps itself from its own weight, operating the working parts and returning itself to its upright position to be filled and dumped again.HOUSING STORY VANCOUVER \u2014(CP)\u2014 Rev.Andrew
