Capital Tid-bits: When Gail Pat-
rick, Hollywood film star, arrived in
Ottawa to help in the Victory Loan
drive, she wore a tailored black kasha
woollen suit by Irene, so there. . . .
In 37 Canadian centres \ where the
Board Registry operates there are 58,-
723 seeking homes through the Board.
. . . For the first time since erected
in 1875, the bells in St. Patrick's
Church on Kent Street will be rung
by automatic electrical device. . . .
The Overseas Cigarette Pool officials
here say 15,030,965 cigarettes were
sent to troops overseas in September
through this medium alone. . Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent the Governor
General a motion picture of the Allied
conference at Quebec ,and it was giv-
en first showing to a distinguished

of 1500 tons of paper was sent from
Canada for the British 8th army for

Canadians are ample savers as indi-
cated by the fact that' savings on de-
posit ,in Canada's chartered banks at
September 30 last amounted to $1,998,-
904,000. Remember, that's savings
alone.
* *
An interesting trade angle: because
of the need of foodstuffs at home,
Canada so far this year hasn't filled
quotas allocated under trade agree-
ments with the U.S.A. Under pre-
ferred duty arrangements, for instance,
we could have sent three million gal-
lons of whole milk, but, to October
2 had only sent 5,585 gallons; out a
quota of 1,500,000 gallons of cream
only 702 were shipped. We did bet-
ter in fish, shipping nearly 13 million
pounds out of 15 million; only 1.6
per cent •of allotment of 1,500,000 bus,
of seed potatoes went. The calendar-
year quota for red cedar shingles is
2;506,072 squares with only 44,9 Per
cent being shipped. We could send
100,000 pieces of silver or black fox
furs on a preferred rate, but only 45.6
per cent went across the line. We
filled our quota of 795,000 bushels of
wheat for the 12 months beginning
May 29.

This will interest housewives who
like salmon, or will it? , Although
200,000 'cases of British Columibia's
1943 salmon pack may be available for
the Canadian market, the greater part
will be eaten by other Allied Nations.
We will be doubling our 1942 ship-
ments of frozen fish to the United
Kingdom, and the entire exportable
surplus of dried, boneless and green-
salted fish, some 27 million pounds,
has been allocated to various countries
under a United Nations plan.
*
Agricultural notes: In connection
with ranched furs, the government
was able to see that additional outlets
were available and 100 shipments were
made to South American countries
during the past season. . . Approxi-
mately 103,000 or 6 per cent of the
telephones. in Canada are operated by
rural co-operative companies in which
there is a total investment of $20,-
000,000, . , We are asked to send
out the reminder that distributors of
milk and manufacturers of dairy pro-
ducts must obtain permission of the
Agricultural Food Board, Ottawa, to
Purchase milk or ,creaM from any pro-
ducer from whoin they were not buy-
ing milk or cream at September 9th
last, . . In view of the news that the
experimental farm system has develop
ed a sawfly resistant wheat, it is in-
teresting to know that the insect which
has spread from wild grasses to close-
allied cultivated plants such as wheat,
and rye. . . . The benefits of experi-
mental work is accepted as matter of
fact by the public; for instance people
who enjoy the luscious Vedette, Vali-
ant and Veteran peaches from the
Okanagan Valley may not realize that
they are collecting a dividend from the
Experimental Station at Vineland, On-
tario, where these varieties originated.

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
has been making an estimate of. the
national income. You know your
own, but what about Canada's? In
September it was tagged at $745 mil-
lion as against $646 million in Sep-
tember last year. Total for first nine
months of 1943 was $6,579 million as
against $5,515 million same period in
1942, The advance in national income
has been sharp since war started.
Women. in rural communities, as
well as those in the cities, stand to
benefit from the price ceiling on cab-
bage, beets, carrots and parsnips. If
they have this produce in their root
cellars, they are assured a fair price
for these vegetables when they or
their husbands sell them on the mar-
ket. A slight increase for storage
costs will be allowed up to next May.
Ti order to help prevent any uncon-
trolled rise in the price of storeables,
the' Consumers Branch, W.T.P.T.B.,
are asking all Canadian women to
familiarize themselves with ceiling
prices on these vegetables,
LAWS
(James S. Webster)
Our Laws are made for you and me,
And hold us in their custody,
Obedience to them we must tender,
Or else be classed as an offender.
Our Laws are made by hiredmen, who
Have really nothing else to do;
We slip the cue, suggest the tune,
But otherwise don't importune.
We tell them what to do, and why,
And calmly wait their sage reply;.
Bespeak of theni such Laws as may,
Be ashens to a better day.
And when new Laws at-e duly framed,
Obedience to them. must be claimed;
And all refusing observation,
Cannot escape just condemnation.

All Laws, once made, must be Obey-
ed,
By no one may they be gainsaid;
And those who break them must be
styled,
As malefactors; wicked; wild.
From breakers of the Laws enacted,
A penalty must be exacted;
It may be mild, it may be drastic,
It may be tough, perhaps elastic,
When Laws of .C.C.F. design,
On justice based and all benign;
Are placed within our Statute Books,
They'll cause concern to none but
crooks,
So pay attention, Drew, old fellow,
'However you may shout and bellow;
The Laws the C.C:F. will make,
You must not, can not, dare not break,
You'll be allowed to criticize them,
You'll be allowed to stigmatize them;
But if you 'break them, t'will be so,
That off to prison you must go.

WHOOPING COUGH
IS DANGEROUS
Children Can Be Immunized Against
' This Disease
In the past 10 years whooping
cough has killed 6,333 persons, mostly
children, in Canada. A total of almost
175,000 persons are known to have
Suffered the disease in that period, Of
these many will have recovered with
impaired health.
These are the tragic facts which
prompt the presdnt campaign for im-
munization of children against the dis-
ease, which is much more serious than,
most parents appreciate. In recent
years the incidence and the virulence
of whooping cough have increased. It
has become one of the menacing en-
emies of 'childhood.
Whooping cough heads the list of
enemies against which the resources
of medical science and education are
directed during National Immuniza-
tion Week (November 14-20.) This
week has been .sponsored by the
Health League of Canada in co-oper-
ation with Dominion, Provincial, and
local public health authorities. Not
only whooping cough, but diphtheria,
scarlet fever and smallpox are diseas-
es which take a pitiful toll of Cana-
dian child life every year, although
easily preventable.
One health authority has gone so
far as to suggest that when a child
dies of one of these unnecessary, pre-
ventable diseases, the parents or
guardians who failed to protect it by
immunization should 'be charged with
neglect.
There is no excuse for these dis-
eases. Physicians have access to free
supplies of sera and vaccines. In the
majority of Canadian communities
there are public-health officers who
conduct free clinics. Parents should
avail themselves of the simple means
to protect their children.
