TB control in cattle had accomplished much but the fight was not finished, stated Dr.McNabb.Many were not aware that g human with TB could infect cattle so that chest X-Ray of those handling cattle was important.Penicillin was a great ally in the fight against nastitis and up to 70 percent of cases could be cured within thggee days by proper treatment, a very simple thing to handle.Insertion of penicillin bougies had proven a most effective way to handle the disease in the great majority of cages.Calf mortality was a more difficult matter and no solution to this problem was yet in sight.Be Carefat Dr.McNabb pointed out it was possible for cattle to be infected with Bangs, or contagious abortion, from other animals, such as swine and horses, and farmers snould be careful when bringing animals into their free listed barns.He was pleased with the progress made in calfhood vaccination and with the results achtevea.During the meeting Gilbert Mc- Millan reported as Ayrshire delegate to the Dairy Farmers of Canada and in particular on the dairy organizations\u2019 fight to nave the ban on manufacture and sale of oleomargarine continued.A special committee of the Dairy Farmers had been named to wage the fight and he asked all breeders to help.He urged that members put the case up to their local members of Parliament.This was apporved.The report of the secretary-treas- urer, Frank Napier, showed 2,348 members of the asociation, 40 more than last year.Of these 262 were entirely new members.In Quebec there are 989 members and in Ontario 928, a decrease for Quebec and gain for Ontarip compared .to last year.Present membership is the highest in the history of the association.A total of 12,475 Ayrshires were registered in 1947, about 100 more than in the previous year.Transfers were 12,217, a decrease of 601, and exports were 3,949, compared to 3,885 in 1846.Receipts were $61,- 314 during the year and the association has assets valued at $23,831 of which $18,380 is in Government se- turities.Officers Elected When the new Ayrshire directors met Thursday morning they named Lorne P.Evans, Gormley, Ont., as their new vice-president and the following to the executive committee: The president and vice-president together with J.Stuart Hyde, Dun- das; Donald Cumming, Lancaster; W.Erskine Rodger, Lachute; Prof Gustave Toupin, Oka, Que.Chateauguay Valley

drowning of three Cornwall residents in 1943.The three died when their rowboat capsized and the Crown claimed that Scott had caused the accident by circling the small craft with his yacht and rocking the rowboat with high waves.Those killed were Louis Miron, Moe Mondoux and James Gallagher, all of Cornwall.The accident occurred on Aug.12, 1943, at Hopkins Point, Que., across Lake St.Francis from Cornwall.1 There were seven persons in the rowboat when it capsised while Scott had three companions in his yacht.\u2018The four survivors from the boat and three other persons who were on the shore testified that Scott circled the rowboat causing waves which resulting in the accident.Scott and his companions denied this and claimed that they made a semi-circle around the boat to avoid weeds that abound in that part of the lake, The jury returned the verdict of acquittal after deliberating for half an hour.Mr.Justice Alfred Duranleau presided at the Would Retain Margarine Ban Montreal Milk Producers Pass Resolution at Annual Meeting The Montreal Milk Producers\u2019 Co-operative Agricultural Association unanimously passed a resolution urging the maintenance of the ban on margarine, at its annual meeting held in the Mount Royal Hotel, Montreal, on Saturday.\u2018The organization, its 4,800 members making up the largest single dairyman\u2019s group in Canada, adopted the resolution as a measure of support in the Dairy Farmers of Canada fight to maintain the ban against the introduction of margarine into Canada.Urges Appeal to MP.s ol Gilbert McMillan, of Huntingdon, who brought the attention of the meeting to the question of margarine, asked that, in addition to passing a supporting motion at the meeting, dairymen should contact their local MP.and make sure that he knew their feeling on this \u201cim- | portant matter.\u201d John Rennie, M.L.A.for Hunting- don county, made a plea for dairymen not \u201cto get panicky\u201d and reduce their herds at this time.He admitted that good prices could be obtained today by selling cattle to the United States, but he felt that farmers would soon regret doing so, as there was evidence that feed prices were coming down.Hercule Riendeau, M.L.A.for Laprairie, made a similar plea in French.Farmers generally blamed bad weather and poor crop prospects for the recent increases in milk prices.Officers Elected In the election of directors for 1948, the old board of J.P.Beau- chemin, Vercheres, John K.Dickson, Ormstown; David Black, La- chute; Henri Hebert, St.Paul Ile aux Nois; W.L.Carr, Huntingdon; P.D.McArthur,

W.W.Moore.Semi-Finals Howick Aubrey Mrs.,S.Stewart Mrs.J.Gruer 3 11 Ormstown 1 Ormstown 3 Mrs.A.McCaffrey Mrs.W.Mann 10 9 Finals Aubrey 3 Ormstown.1 Mrs.R.Reddick Mrs.H.McMahon Mrs.J.Bustard Mrs.Earle

Mrs.D.Barrington ORMSTOWN \u2014On Wednesday, February 4, the Ormstown Branch of the Montreal Milk Producers held the annual meeting, Mr.Jas.Winter, president, presiding.Despite the fact that statements made at a meeting at Huntingdon were to be questioned and the weather ideal, only 27 producers were present at the meeting, including five visitors from Huntingdon and one from Howick.The meeting was arranged at a time to coincide with the Montreal Milk Producers\u2019 meeting being held in Montreal, on Saturday, Feb.7th.This offered an opportunity to the producers to ask questions and discuss the proposed amendments to the by-law of Montreal Milk Producers.The secretary of the Ormstown Branch, Mr.John K.Dickson is also president of the Montreal Milk Producers and consequently very ably replied to questions and criticisms and was capable of explaining very fully how the.regulations worked.expressed) A number of producers ; the suggestion that all milk be handled primarily by the Montreal Milk Producers and then sold to Montreal distributors.It was stated that a similar campaign had been started about 10 years ago but had failed at that time due to insufficient support from producers.It was thought that with proper or- Annual Meeting of Ormstown Branch Montreal Milk Producers Held Wednesday Suggest Milk be Handled Primarily by Montreal Milk Producers\u2019 Association :

Milk?\" In this broadcast Mr.John K.Dickson expressed the viewpoint of the milk producer while Mr.W.R.Aird of Dominion Dairies spoke distributors and Mrs.George Win, housewife, for consumers.appreciation was unanimously extended to Mr.Dickson.Officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President, James Winter; Vice-Pres., Donald Mc- Ewen.Directors: Lorne Elliott, Arnold Bryson, John Kilgour, W.J.McGerrigle, Allan Cavers and Aimé Chayer.Mr.John Dickson, secretary of the Ormstown Branch for the past 15 years, asked that in the interest of the branch a new secretary be appointed, his opinion being that Since the secretary has direct contacts with the Montreal office 1t was an advantage for various people to hold the office.Mr.Clifford Sproule was appointed secretary for the coming year.The president expressed the group's thanks to Mr.Dickson for the time he had given to this office and those present concurred in this expression by a clap of hands.Address at B.The Huntingdon Board of Trade sponsored a well attended banquet at the Chateau, on Monday evening, which was featured by the members and their lady friends taking part.Mr.Hugh B.Savage, Chartered Accountant, of Montreal, was the guest speaker and he gave a most inspiring address entitled \u201cLeaders of Tomorrow\".Mr.A.Fawcett, President of Huntingdon Board of Trade, was \u201cchairman for the evening and first -called on Mayor A.C.H.Picard to address the gathering.Mayor Picard spoke on the co-operation that exists between the Town Council and the Board of Trade and the help that the Board'of Trade gives.In particular, he mentioned the new bylaw to regulate building in Hunt- ingdon, which will soon be passed by the council, Mr.Evan McCormick, Field Secretary of the Canadian Chambers of Commerce, Montreal, was called upon and he voiced his appreciation of being asked to be present and also the fact that Huntingdon had recently decided to become affiliated with the larger group.The chairman in his remarks said that the Board of Trade had been successful in having the C.NR.make a survey of the town and its facilities with a view to encouraging industries to locate here.In this connection the C.N.R.had published a booklet about Huntingdon and these would be distributed in the near future.In the meantime it was proposed to make additions to the booklet and include pictures of Huntingdon and to make it in a handy pocket size.This survey had heen conducted at no cost to the Board or the town.He outlined some of the work that the Board had done and in particular the work on the new building by-law.He thanked Mayor Picard and the aldermen for their co-operation in this and other matters.As soon as the weather is fit, the Board proposes to erect signs at each entrance to Huntingdon, bidding welcome te visitors.a Mr.and Mrs.D.C.Rivett enter- tained the gathering, Mr.Rivett with piano selections and Mrs.Rivett with monologues of a humorous vein that brought forth much applause.Mr.N.Foisey, 1st Vice-President of the Board of Trade, had the duty of introducing the guest speaker, which he performed in a unique and novel manner.He asked the gathering to imagine they were at home listening to their radios and the announcer was telling of a prize fight.Typical of the announcer giving a description of the various rounds, he went through the various stages of the speaker's life in rounds and at each new phase he would strike a bell as round 1, round 2, etc.He told the audience that Mr.Savage was a champion speaker, that he served as a sailor on the high seas during the war, was an outstanding student in university life and had obtained a degree of Bachelor of Commerce.This is perhaps the most novel introduction that has ever been used in Hunt- ingdon.Mr.Hugh Savage when he began to give his address, was evidently surprised at the introduction and said as much.He started out by asking questions on how much is known of the young men of today.What they feel about Canada, how they fit into the.business life of today and particularly the veteran and how he fits into the business life.Do they include socialism and communism in their thoughts and actions.He put himself in the position of an executive to a president and began to lay his thoughts before the president and a party of friends on a fishing trip.When you are away from Canada, as many of the young men were away from Canada during the war, you think more about it than when you are\u2019 here, the 16 Aubrey Huntingdon 2 Miss E.Reddick Mrs.L.Kelly 10 Semi-Finals

Attention all sorts and races of men and they discovered a difference in accents.But they were proud they were Canadians.They felt that Canada was the best country and that it was second to none, they placed it high.These men would not put Communism and such like higher than Canada, for they loved their |country.They learned about other men from all across Canada, their prejudices and they poured out their thoughts on these matters between themselves and they felt that prejudice was the only thing that is preventing this country from truly growing up.- There is a lot here to think about, but the true Canadian is the one who puts his country above the region of all others.In an example of true Canadian citizenship, the speaker cited a story of two Chambers of Commerce meeting together.One speaking in English and one speaking in French, with a president for each sitting at the same table.After discussing matters and seeing how well they agreed, the whole rose as one and sald that the body would unite as a true Canadian Chamber of Com- metce representing the entire Dominion.The speaker talked of the migration to other ,countries where the young man is supposed to be seeking opportunity.In such cases they often went away from the opportunity which was right here in Canada.These young men need the encouragement of the heads of large companies, who will give them the chance to show their abilities in positions of responsibility and with responsibility they should have authority and a wage to go with it.On many boards of directors, the young man could fill a position of trust just as well as the older members.Give the young man and especially the veteran a chance to prove himself, his ideas and so forth, help them all you can.- The young man hopes some day to be In business of his own and not running it for the government.Thus he thinks about socialism and such and feels that it does not offer him the opportunity he is seeking.Under Communism he would not be free and he does not believe in the concept of class struggle as stressed by this doctrine.He knows in this country he can change his position as he feels fit to do.He can be working in the woods at one time at hard manual labour and he can change his shirt and be working in an office overnight, The veteran will never stand for Communism.The young men hope to be leaders of tomorrow and leaders have ideals, they must have ideals and these ideals are much the same as they ever were \u2014 every generation spends much time in the age-old search for leadership.They love high ideals, these young men, and my message to you is to help them keep and attain them.The theme of the whole address was to give the young men a chance to make something of \u201cthemselves and to encourage them in their ideas, guide their footsteps into positions of trust and responsibility and it would be found that the young men can really be leaders as the older men have been in their time, Mr.E.C.Martin thanked the speaker for his very fine and instructive address.Mr.8.J.Currie provided a sound system for the speakers and while they were speaking he also made a rding which included Mr.Poi- sey's introduction and the address of the Guest Speaker.Just as soon as the gathering had departed, Mr.Currie played back the recording and Mr.Savage was deeply interested in hearing his own voice in this manner.It was something new to him and he said it gave him an opportunity of checking himself.Altogether this banquet provided much in the way of new ideas all through.Egg Story \u2014 Like Fish Stories There are quite a few egg stories these days, we presume it must be getting near Easter and the hens are doing their best to keep up a good supply.This week word was received from Ovide Duheme and Sons, St.Anicet, to the effect that on Monday morning they took from the nest a chicken's egg of abnormal size\u20147X% inches the long way and 7% inches in circumference.' With regard to the story published in the last issue about the egg standing up along, Mr.Louis Roy has informed us that it can be done at any time and he has tried it, This same word has been recelved from two or three more of our readers.It looks as if the egg stories are like fish stories and will have to be taken with a grain of sait.Increase in Quebec Budget From Year Ago Up $18,000,000

Ottawa.George Muir accepted the award for the CEF and gave credit to his staff and those who had gone before him as Dominion Animal Husbandman.Mr.Tulley is the youngest breeder to receive this highest honor in the giving of the Holstein Association.He had made an enviable reputation for so young a breeder.Resolutions Four resolutions were passed by the meeting, presented by R.Ray Wilson as chairman of the resolutions committee.One asked that the Health of Animals Branch be requested to make provision for the identification, testing and certification of export animals by full time employes of the Department and that additional staff be employed by the Department to ensure area testing, accreditations and free listing and that such services be brought and kept up to date.Another that the

Toronto J.M.Fraser, Ont., Elected to Head Holstein- Friesian Association For 1948 Holstein High Reputation This is the 65th annual meeting and 1947 president W.H.Hicks, Agassiz, B.C., was in charge.In his address he stated, \u201cThe popularity of Canadian Holsteins has continued to increase in other countries; not only in the United Kingdom and the USA, but particularly have they gained a very enviable position in the Latin American countries.The advertising and goodwill campaign fostered in post-war years has borne fruit.The recent severe import embargo on American goods due to Canada's shortage of American dollars satisfactorily answers the critics of our large shipments of breeding stock to United States.A nation must sell if it is to buy.\u201d The report or the secretary- treasurer, G.M.Clemons, shows substantial gains tn 1947 in almost every department.Registrations reached a new high of 55,100, a gain of 4 percent over 1946, while membership also gained 4 percent to reach a new high of 10,650.A total of 22,045 head were exported to 17 different countries.Selective registration, the grading of animals for conformation, reflected the special emphasis that the Association is placing on this program by setting a new high mark of 21,444 head classified during the year, an increase of 25 percent over 1946, the best previous year.The number of animals graded was 44 percent of the number registered.There are now 29 approved artificial breeding clubs in Canada for Holsteins and approximately 20,000 head were bred artificially through these clubs in 1947.New Records The Holstein shows throughout the Dominion were outstanding in 1846, culminating in a Royal that was of exceptional quality.Grants totalling $14,784 were pald to fairs throughout the country by the association and its provincial branch- cs.Seven Canadian records for milk and butterfat production were eatab- lished during the year, five of them world records.Particularly notable was the world record for yearly production of butterfat on twice-a-day milking over all ages and breeds made by OHH Abbekerk Darkness and the world Holstein record for lifetime production of butterfat on twice-a-day milking made by 8u- preme Ruby Echo.No less than 10 records over 1,000 pound fat were completed, these reaching a high of 1.250 pounds by Amulree Baroness Pletje.War Memorial Hall at Exhibition The annual meeting of the Ormstown War Memorial, Community Centre, was held in the Tewn Hall, Ormstown, the 4th of this month at which a representative number of members and interested

during the summer m and operation of a Snack Bar at the Ormstown Skating Rink this winter.The Chairman, in his report, gave a short review of the history of the roject and of the difficulties be- ng experienced in getting the construction of the Memorial Hall under way due to the material shortages and excessive costs.However, he stressed the fact that the campaign fund as indicated in the

that it had been found in the interests of all concerned to apply for incorporation and that this matter was now passing through the necessary legal stages.The gathering decided after hearing an

now with us and this is the Christian period of self-denial and devotion to prayer.By some it is strictly observed and by others it is practically ignored.Services are held in the churches throughout this season with special days observed for special purposes.\u2018The time then arrives when the crucifixion of Christ causes that solemn time of mourning and then the glory of the pews that Christ has risen and the \u201cAlleluiah Chorus\u201d is heard in most churches throughout the Christian world.A new world is born, new life comes with the spring that is heralded, the sun again begins to have warmth and new hope arises in the breasts of men.There is something mystic in this period of the year as if an unseen guidance was at work cheering all and giving them new hopes to complete the tasks that confront them.The period of Lent is supposed to give strength through prayer and devotion and the self denial is a symbol of the sacrifice that Christ made for all mankind.In these days of trials and tribulation more and more people are resorting to religious piety as a relief from the worries of the day: It is likely therefore, that this season of Lent will see more devotion to the religious beliefs than for some years.On Friday.the Women's World Day of Prayer will be held throughout the Christian world and numbers of women\u2019s organizations have already planned their programmes for this day.Churches throughout the Beauharn- ois district will be attended on Friday and the services will be in complete charge of the women of the various districts.On Saturday, it will be St.Valentine's Day, a feast day in honour of St.Valentine, a Christian Martyr of the 3rd century.The sending of valentines to sweethearts is not really a part of the celebration, although through the years this has become a custom and probably links with the ancient Roman celebration of the Lupercalia.According to an old belief birds used to mate on this day and possibly this is associated with the tokens of love and tender greetings that are now a part of St.Valentine\u2019s Day.Probably this all fits in with the .Lenten season, but it is strange that it comes so soon in this period.One other Saint\u2019s day comes in this period and that is Saint Patrick's Day, also universally kept and celebrated.Thus today, Ash Wednesday, we have commenced the Lenten season of self denial and devotional duty.The Prices Jumble N every hand today, one hears grumblings and mumblings about prices.Dissatisfaction is expressed on all sides\u2014the seller is displeased, the buyer is displeased.With the seller prices are not high enough and with the buyer the prices are too high.The government is considering a Committee to probe prices and try to find out what is happening all along the line.Prime Minister King has hinted that certain tax changes will take place when the budget is brought down.and that these will affect the cost of living.According to a government report the cost of living index has risen 21.3 points during the period January 1st, 1947 to January 2nd, 1948.This brings the total to 147.6 for the week ended January 30th.Food and home furnishings have been the largest contributors to the increase and from the trend, prices will continue to rise.The condition that exists in Canada is practically no different to that which exists in most every country of the world, Even word is coming from Russia that there is trouble in that country over mounting prices and that all is not rosy.Probably never before has there been world inflation at one and the same time and it is a picture of economy that is hard to construe.The United States news of the past week has been that prices are beginning to tumble and President Truman is warning of a crash ahead.This country being so closely allied with the States, may easily be headed for a similar crash.Canada, however, has done a little more to control prices than the States and at least butter has not reached the dollar per pound mark as it has in the States.Such procedure may be the controlling force in this country and may let us down more lightly.France has taken the step of revaluing her ization and this includes Russia.Usually tn- flation will hit one country and leave others x Ë ë it.It will follow that it will resound around the world because the United States economy is 80 tied up with the rest of the world today.It is no wonder then that prices are a topic of conversation in this country wherever people congregate, It may be as well that the government is keeping in close touch with the situation as no one can tell just how soon we may be facing a crisis, There is no doubt that conditions are getting out of proportion and it is possible that someone is taking advantage of the situation to make something for themselves.The prices probe will no doubt uncover such practices if they exist.Whether the abolition, or a reduction of the sales tax would have any great effect is debatable, as the tax does not apply on a great many of the foods but would mean a saving on clothing and such like.It is possible that the abolition of income tax on all incomes $3,000 per year and under, would have the effect of releasing a few more dollars toward purchase of goods, but it may also add to the evil of inflation by releasing more money for purchases.There are, however, a number of hidden taxes which may be reduced or abolished that would help the situation.It may be this that Premier King has in mind.Meantime we must await the outcome.Auditor General's Blue Book NCE again that blue book which comes from the Auditor General's Department each year, has arrived at the office of The Gleaner.It is the accounting of all the governmental receipts and expenditures as applied to all the various departments of the Federal Government and contains the report of.Mr.Watson Sellar, as auditor general In past years this book has contained much in the way of war expenditures, but now that the war is over, the accounting for this is fast disappearing.There remain such accountings as pensions and various rehabilitation schemes, but mainly now, the accounting has to do with peacetime governmental matters.Most of the fault that Mr.Sellar has to find with the accounting this year, is however, to do with wartime matters.Naturally in such a large volume of business transacted by such a number of different departments and handled by a huge staff, there are bound to be many items that need checking and drawing attention to.Mr.Sellar keeps a close watch on the government exchequer and is not backward in\u2019 bringing to light practices that he feels are unethical to good bookkeeping.Relaxation of ordinary business methods of accounting are sharply brought to .the attention of the departments concerned and references made to orders governing the issue or practices involved.Throughout the book are many references to laxities which he feels should be given more attention, but upon the whole there are only a few outstanding highlights.The Auditor General points out, the men of the Polish Army who were brought to Canada as agricultural labourers should have had a closer checking before they were allowed to come to this country.Several of them developed tuberculosis and received hospital treatment at government expense.However, the British government had agreed to stand 50 percent of certain sum in this regard and the money has been received and credited.Had these men been more closely checked at the outset, it is possible they would have been rejected and the expense saved.Another case cited was an army paymaster who embezzled $34,839.98 of the funds and was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment.No restitution was made and no recovery effected, although the man was bonded for $10,000.Another army paymaster was held responsible for a loss of $2,000 and it was agreed to stop certain amounts from his pay.On his discharge $1,- 300 still remained to be paid, but the man refused to pay it.There is no evidence that the department \u201ctried to collect and the account goes forward from year to year as a \u201cpaymaster\u2019s advance\u201d.The auditor general says this is objectionable when there are no funds to cover it.Still another reference is to Dutch guilders acquired by the army as the result of operations in Holland, which had not been redeemed by the Netherlands government.No settlement has been reached and redemption made.The balance of the account is not shown in the Public Accounts, but remains on deposit to the credit of the Canadian government in a \u201cblocked account\u201d in a Netherlands Bank.Some payments of dependents\u2019 allowances were made from the fund to soldiers\u2019 dependents in Holland.The balance is 2,562,- 449 Dutch guilders.St It is such things as the foregoing that the eagle eye of the Auditor General ferrets out of the mass of accounts that pass through his hands during the course of auditing the national cash books.In his remarks he does his best to bring attention to these and many other errors in the bookkeeping in order that the national monies will be kept in the straight and narrow path and do not'go too far astray.The Battle of Margarine URING the past several weeks it will have been noticed that the various farm forums and other farmers\u2019 organizations have been busily engaged in discussing the question of whether the ban on the manufacture and sale of margarine in Canada should be lifted.The resolutions sent in to the government by these bodies have been to the effect that the ban should be retained and if more butter is needed in this country, that it be imported from New Zealand.Soon this question will have to be fought out in Parliament and the members there feel that it will be a very contentious matter when it 13 discussed.They fear it will cause a split between the country and the city members.Rural communities being mostly composed of the farming population, are opposed to the ban being lifted, while city communities being mostly composed of a manufacturing population, feel that margarine should be available to them because of the high price of butter.\u2018The farmer feels that if margarine is manufactured and sold in Canada, that he will suffer through a slump in the sale of his own product and that it will react unfavorably toward him.The opposing side feels that the introduction of margarine will not affect the farmer as the supply of butter is still on the short side and will remain so for a long - time to come.They aay that if it is necessary fo import butter from New Zealand, then the manufacture of margarine in this country will not only help the supply situation, but give, The Huntingdon Gleaner employment to more of our people, thus keeping the money in Canada.They also point out that margarine is made and sold in the States and that it does not appear to have caused any undue suffering among the farming population there, The recent Geneva trade agreements prevent Canada from barring any import and hints are that the government to get around this, will slap on heavy taxes on oleomargarine.This also has its difficulties because if all fear the question and term it as \u201cdynamite\u201d that will split the government ranks into two groups \u201ccity versus country\u201d.It is therefore felt that when the vote comes it should be free, an expression of individual opinion.While the farmer organizations have bombarded the government with resolutions to retain the ban, consumer and union organizations have sent resolutions to lift the ban.It looks that this may develop into one of the a Sere countries acted that way, the Geneva agreements would become farcical.Most members NEW CARS HAVE TROUBLE TOO ITS NOT THAT r= THE CAR ISNT PERFECT, ITS JUST THAT WE CANT GET IT TO WORK fF has had to face rh = - = \u2014 \u2014 Ce ee most

resultant effect on American stocks and bonds, Losses ran into the millions.On three successive days wheat futures dropped the permissable 10-cent limit on the Chicago Grain Exchange.Corn, oats and other staples also travelled downward.The effect on stocks and bonds in United States exchanges was almost spontaneous, At New York in one session securi- tles dropped $1 to $5 for the biggest decline

El 4 Specially written for THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER by KEN KELLY Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (C.P.)\u2014Parliamentar- ians heaved long sighs as last week ended.After a violent four-day battle over a parliamentary committee to investigate Canada's ballooning living costs, members turned off a bitter stream of charge and counter-charge \u2014 but only until Monday.A solid wall of opposition criticism of the committee's powers \u2014\u2014 or lack of them \u2014 failed even to dent Prime Minister Mackenzie King's plans for handling the investigation.\u2019 son TT There were many opposition charges, but perhaps the most general was that the government was using the committee to evade \u201cresponsibility\u201d for the increases.They urged that the committee be empowered to recommend =a course of action to deflate the prices balloon.Without this, the opposition charged, the committee was useless.Not a few members, including those on the government side, had suggestions about what the government should do.David Croll, Liberal member for Toronto Spadina, and Lionel Bertrand, Liberal for Terrebonne, Que.Joined those who urged the government to re-impose price ceilipgs and subsidies.Mr.Croll added the suggestion that the excess profits tax.dropped Dec.31, be revived to curb profiteering.Justice Minister Ilsley had a swift denial for those who said the government was taking no action against profiteers.He said that more than 50 companies were under inquiry by the combines investigation commission and he suggested that the proposed committee determine, as a fact-finding body, the truth of reports that trade combines and monopolies are operating.Outside parliament there were also voices raised against the committee.The Canadian Congress of Labor said flatly that it would be in the public interest if the parliamentary opposition refused to serve on it.The Congress \u2014 embracing an estimated 350,000 Canadian workers \u2014 sent telegrams to the leaders of the three opposition parties, Pre- gressive Conservative, C.CF.and Social Credit, saying that it was convinced the proposed committee \u201cfs wholly inadequate and unnecessary.\u201d The government, the Congress charged, was trying \u201cto evade its responsibility and postpone action which is urgently demanded by the people of Canada.\u201d It came as no surprise to many consumers but the jump in the December cost-of-living index provided ammunition for opposition guns.The December index trembled on the edge of a new high.The previous peak was in July, 1920 \u2014 150.6 \u2014 and the figure for December 1947 was 1483 \u2014 up 2.3 from November.The P.M.gave tax-payers a tantalizing whiff of the heady wine of tax reduction in introducing his motion for a prices committee.Speaking of the cost of living, Mr.King said newspapers were claiming that the way to bring it down was to \u201cmake certain changes\u201d in taxes.He Hastened to add that the government \u201ccannot disclose its program on this matter until the budget itself it brought down.\u201d That was all, but the mention of \u201cits program\u201d left observers wondering whether Mr.King might not be tipping off the country that the government had something up its sieeve for the tax-paying citizen.Speculation surrounding Mr.King\u2019s future has enveloped two great houses that have long been the most famous if not the most pretentious in Ottawa.One is Rideau Hall, the official residence of the governor-general and the other, Laurier House, where the prime minister has lived a bachelor's life for the last 25 years or so.These two houses were singled out, first, because Mr, King said he will offer his resignation to a Liberal convention in August and second, because he has not turned a cold shoulder to a growing campaign for his appointment as the first Canadian-born governor-gen- eral, The chances of the P.M.becoming governor-general seem to depend on whether or not public opinion will swing in favor of the proposal, first made in the House of Commons last week by Bona Arse- nault, Liberal member of Bonaventure, Que.When the Prime Minister made his controversial retirement statement another controversy was revived.It centres on the ownership of Laurier House.There is little doubt it was left Mr.King as his personal property by Lady Laurier who died shortly after the great French-Canadian Liberal leader, But there are those who still harbor the impression that it was left him as Liberal leader and that it actually is the property of the party.He may turn the house over to his successor or he may live there the rest of his life.Then again, he may someday take up residence in Rideau Hall.Nps SIN foe SOIT TAR PG ERT PPE pre Te .on Jan.16.Back of the feverish selling were basic factors known for some time.They were: an excellent crop outlook in Europe, the knowledge that government purchases of wheat for export this year are nearing completion, and the protective snow in the United States wheat belt which means a good spring crop.With American Crop prospects good and with world demand slackening, most analysts conclude that the good old days of $3 wheat are gone, The drop in grains had its effect in the London exchanges.British securities, particularly speculative issues, broke sharply last Friday with losses of millions of pounds.London market sources said that traders, looking to United States financial circles for a lead, feared the possibility of a world-wide deflationary movement, The British government's new policy against further general wage increases was another anti-inflationary factor behind the sell-off.The firmness of British government bonds cleared reflected the deflationary fears with investors getting out of speculative issues into fixed-interest securities.' Practically all London newspapers front-paged the plunge of American stock and commodity prices, many combining the reports with President Truman\u2019s warning.Some papers speculated optimistically that the fall in commodity prices might ease the plight of dol- larshort countries dependent on American supplies of grain.Eire's complicated system of proportional representation turned up with a strange paradox in the national elections last week.Complete returns showed Saturday that Prime Minister Eamon de Valera's government party, the Fianna Fail, had won only 66 of the 147 seats in the new Dail (parliament), in which 74 seats are required for a majority.The combined opposition, including parties that had sought coalition government \u2014 to which de Valera is opposed \u2014 won 76.In the old Dail, dissolved last fall, the government party controlled 77 of 138 deputies.Yet, with his majority wiped out, de Valera was expected to keep the leadership he has held since 1932, through his country\u2019s most turbulent formative period.The Irish Independent, Dublin newspaper sald he would make a strong try for parliamentary control, even if only temporary, in order to call another election before long \u2014 a political device he used in 1944 after squeaking through to re-election the previous year.The 65-year-old, New-York born former college professor and rebel against British rule offered no comment on his electoral set-back.But it was generally agreed \u2014 even among his opponents \u2014 that he stood a good chance of re-election if he secured support from the four National Labor members and the 12 Independents when the new Dail meets Feb, 18 to choose a prime minister.He needs 77 votes to win.An important factor in the struggle for parliamentary control is still in doubt: five seats in the Car- (Continued on page 6) Wednesday, February 11th, 1948 Since 1936 HOME INSULATION Fully Guaranteed STOPS Heat Waste SAVES Precious Fuel phone or write CHARLES McCLATCHIE Churchill St, PERCY NcCAIG GILPIN For free estimate and full details Huntingdon Ormstown Phone 29 Or write direct to GILPIN INSULATION QUEBEC LTD.1253 McGill College Ave., Montreal 2, You farm or Other Far o Purchasing Farm « Constructing or ° Modernizin ° Improving e Installing El e Clearing an Fencing an ectric Power d Breaking, m improvement LO Machinery Repairing B mes g Farm Ho d Drainage we FIND OUR BANK IN THIS FARM PICTURE.ranch.ans Fori\u2014 and Equipment ulldings and for Farming Investigate the many advantages vou have under the Farm Improvement Loan plan.Come in and discuss your financial needs with our local Manager.THE CANABIAN BARK OF COMRIERCE HUNTINGDON BRANCH N.F.MANNING, Manager + sr THE fine livestock you see on this farm have been built up through the banking services and helpful financing of The Canadian Bank of Commerce.You, too, may need to purchase foundation livestock for the development of your / 12.47 (A new record.) ; I ig 2 TOTAL ASSETS .LOUIS L.LANG, President SURPLUS EARNED IN 1947 .2 © © (Providing premium reductions through dividends.)

_ Huntingdon Gleaner _ The Power Belt CHATEAUGUAY \u2014 Trim-looking horses, bright sleighs and fur-coat- ed drivers gathered on the frozen river last Sunday for Chateauguay's second annual Horse Parade.Over 35 entrants, led by Mr.Cecil Carpenter, President of the Chateau- guay Harness and 8addle Club, lined up for the long drive to the Village, the horses prancing briskly to the strains of a military march.The scene brought back nostalgic memories of a horsey, buffalo-robed past, almost disappearing from our modern automobile era.Horses were brought from Montreal, Lachine, Ville La Salle, Caughnawaga, Beauharnois, Valley- fleld, Ormstown and Howick by their enthusiastic owners.The start was slightly delayed by some late arrivals but by 2 o'clock the parade had lined up in the order of Single Drivers, Driving Teams, Pony Teams, Pony Singles, Saddle Horses and Farm Teams.Many youngsters took an unexpected and joyous part in the event when they were invited to \u201cpile on\" the heavy sleds of the farm teams.A few false starts slightly taxed the patience of the thousand-odd spectators, but many stayed to the chilly end of the last heat.Mr.E.LeBoeuf of Beauharnois took top honours in the races, driving his own horses to win a First and a Second in the Free-For-All, and two Firsts in the Classified.Mr.Paul Laberge, of Montreal, was a close contestant with his entry.The

the races the out-of- town horsemen were served refreshments at the home of Mr.and Mrs.Cecil Carpenter.Mr.Carpenter, on behalf of the committee, expressed appreciation of the financial assist- tance so generously given by all the merchants and many other friends in the Chateauguay community.He also thanked the civic leaders and the police, both local and provincial, for their great assistance.For the sake of safety, last Sunday\u2019s flying feature was postponed until Feb.15.[ _ 0 8 = FF DS su Ww N.H.L.Players Attend Chateauguay Hockey Dance The Plaza Hotel, on Friday, January 30th was the

expert manner.The grand old star of former days, \u201cPit\u201d Lepine was next to step up to the \u201cmike\u201d.He displayed a speaking versatility reminiscent of his play on the ice lanes.Talking in both langtages, he stated that it was a pleasure to be present among old friends and that all fans should stay behind the \u201cblue, blanc, rouge\u201d aggregation, as they still had a team of

tension and confusion in other people.Thus he multiplies his own inefficiency.Speed is desirable only when it is the result of sound planning, increased skill, and the elimination of waste
