Mr. Alvin Pym took charge of the meeting which Was opened with a sing-song. A reading, “The Patriot”, was read by Miss McCulloch and Kenneth Johns gave two musical selections. Readings were given by Mrs. Har­ old Bell on “An Airman Thinks of i Home” and by Mrs. Delmar Skin­ ner- on “Swiss Uphold Land of Hu­ manity”. Business was dealt with.

Sure, you’ve got a baby around the house. Prior to- the war 75 % of cod liver oil was imported, most­ ly from Britain, Norway and, New­ foundland. The fishing companies on our Atlantic coast wasted much of the precious vitamin content for tanning, etc., feeding livestock and ppultry. Do you know that since 194.1 we now have five plants of our own producing refined medicinal cod liver oil and that we will be in a position to supply our own needs, the U.S.A., South America, Australia and China? That industry is a war baby and, believe me, a pippin. Vitamin feeding oils for veterinary purposes will now be processed from the low­ liest of British Columbia fish; and the despised dogfish from out there now produces Vitamin A oil, rich and fortifying to margarine and for night fliers, and is already being shipped to the British Ministry of Food. The Canadian Red cross, symbol of mercy the world over, has again taken to the high seas, this time with a new system whereby surviv­ ors of Ayis-destrpyed vessels can he completely clothed immediately they are picked up at sea. previous­ ly, shipwrecked sailors were outfit­ ted by the Red Cross after they had been brought into port, hut it'was felt that looking after survivors’ comforts until" the rescue vessel docked was too great a strain on the already overworked wardrobes of the ship’s crew. Through this new system, only recently put into operation, surviv­ ors’ dunnage ibags containing warm clothing underwear, toilet supplies, etc,, are issued by the Canadian Red Cross to all Navy and merchant navy vessels leaving Canadian ports-. -Since the outbreak of war, hund­ reds of shipwreck survivors have passed through Red Cross depots where they have exchanged their torn, salt and oil stained garments for warm outerclothing, underwear, socks, sweaters and mitts knitted by women volunteers all over Canada. Red Cross distributing centres have been set up in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, in Quebec along the shores of the lower St.Lawrence and in British Colum-j bia. I This new system does not mean,' however that the work of these cent-, res will cease. Not everything a sur-l vivor needs can be put into seagoing | dunnage bag. One old deckhand j asked if the Red Cross could supply j him with a new pair of glasses so that he could read the news, as his own were resting on the Atlantic.

As for nutrition, how could you all exist without a proper proportion of oils and fats in youir diet? Mom, isn’t just plain realism? (Doesn’t it make you .think—as „did me—to hear that we depend much on it, in our shaving; butter which is 80% fat, our toast in its shortening, our clothes and shoes which get treatment from oils or derivatives; the chair you sit in, the linoleum you walk on.

I know you’re interested in how they intend meeting this situation. We get linseed oil from flax; well, flaxseed production, it is hoped, will be stepped up to at least 20 million bushels this year compared to 6 1-2 in 1941; there will be an expansion of soya bean crops, sunflower and rapeseed. it Yes, I got enough of the story to know that the combination of science management and invention has put ug on the threshold of a period when Canadian agricultural production will take its rightful place in Canadian industry.
