According to information just releas- ed by the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of Mines and Re- sources, one of the recent develop- !rents on Indian reserves in Canada has been the introduction of goat herding. The establishment of goat herds represents an attempt to pro- vide the Indians with an adequate milk supply so that they may enjoy a bal- anced diet. A. survey of health con- ditions son reserves Where dairying has not become established has shown a serious lack of the essential vitamins contained in milk and its products. The introduction of goats and tile use of goat's milk has achieved remark- able results, and the departmental herds established at 'Golden Lake and Spanish in Ontario have increased to such an extent that animals from these herds have been sent to other reserves for the extension of this work, The goats in the Golden Lake and Spanish: herds are of the dairy type (Saatien), and a mature goat will, under favourable conditions, give ap- proximately a gallon of milk a clay, Of additional significance is the fact that goats are comparatively easy to raise, requiring about one-fifth the feed needed for a cow. Many herders consider that goats are immune to all known animal ailments, and the milk has been known to remain fresh and free from contamination for long periods. Young male goats, not required for breeding purposes, are killed for meat and the skins ere tanned by the in- dians,for making windbreakers, gloves, and moccasins. The Indian women at Golden Lake have completed. five sea- men's jackets from goat skins and five from deer skins, far presentation to members of the crew of one of Can- ada's new tribal class destroyers. Of particular advantage to the In- dians is the fact that milking nannies may be taken along on hunting, fish- ing, .and berry-picking expeditions, thus ensuring a fresh milk supply at all times. Both at Golden Lake and at Spanish, nannies have been loaded into the boats or canoes when the In- dians have started out on their peri- He's the one who dares the raider And the lurking submarine, He's the ordinary Seaman Of the Merchant Marine.

C. Q. I. 'I', Girls Entertained Mothers On Friday night March 1.0th, the girls of the .C, G. I. T, entertained their mothers at a special meeting, in recognition of C.01G. I. T, week. This meeting had been postponed from February 13th, because of illness, and the girls were gratified with the splen- did attendance. Miss Eleanore Carson, and Greta Hyndman opened the meeting with a sing song of familiar hymns. This was followed by a worship service taken from the book "From Dawn to lawn", and was taken by Miss Jean Kirig, and Miss Doreen Harrison. At this time a drama, entitled "The Waking Church" was presented with Florence Anger, Patricia Strong, Pauline lieintniller, Marlene Barton, Erland Gregg, Betty Harper, Grace Harper and Helen Irwin taking part. This drama was in three scenes, and depicted how precious the church is to the people in Europe who are now deprived of the freedom of worship, and challenging the Canadian Church to keep alive the flame of Christian idealism burning brightly. Most of the parts in this drama were taken by the Junior girls who did very well. Immediately following the drama the dedicaition of the finance cards took place with the president, Janice Strong, and her mother, and the leader taking part. The finance project was explained by the leader, and a message on behalf of the mothers was given by Mrs. Strong. A letter to Miss Peggy Dunn, Ontario C. G. I, T. girls' president, was read telling•of our meet- ing and sending the total proceeds from the cards to her, in behalf of the Ontario Girl's Work Board. On mo- tion of the secretary Greta Hyndman, seconded by her mother, it was voted to have this letter signed and sent immediately. $9.00 was received,from the offering. Tile leader made a prayer of dedication of the offering, Eleanore Carson and Greta Hynd- man conducted a musical contest while the lunch committee prepared the refreshments. Mothers 'and girls enjoyed a social hour. 2 Cell Plastic Flashlights (batteries extra) $1.65 Hot Shot Batteries $2.40 But don't forget the vital cog In Great Britain's war machine.

Fresh air and sunlight arc the natur- al enemies of filth and must be pro- vided, up to the limit of comfort, for the health and welfare of the flock. Even if these essentials to health mean a colder house the conditions generally will be healthier. Disease may spread through the medium of dirty drinking vessels and feed troughs. Soiled, nesting material is a constant menace as it provides the ideal breeding grdund for those parasites that contribute their share to general debility. With the least possible disturbance to the birds all the poultry buildings should be given a thorough cleaning and disinfecting at least once a year— nesting material should be changed and the nests sprayed whenever fresh litter is provided for the floors. Water vessels should be rinsed arid cleaned before refilling and feed troughs should be scraped and disinfected when they are soiled.

Enthusiasm for the parks expressed by airmen in Canada who have been fortunate enough to spend leave or reconditioning periods in them, and who are carrying their praises to all parts of the world, will have this result. • Tourist travel on an unprecendented scale is expected after the war. This will be due in part to the desire for travel which is being stemmed by present conditions, in part to the fame which Canada is attaining on the battlefronts of the world, and in part to the reports about our national parks which are being carried to the British Isles, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and elsewhere by soldiers, sailors, and airmen who have been fortunate to visit them. Meanwhile the parks are being used by Canadians to a surprising degree, the close proximity of their masters. Last year five nannies and a billy were shipped from the Golden Lake herd to Moose Factory in the James Bay Agency, and a similar number to Manauan in the Abitibi Agency. This year additional animals will ;be ship- ped from both Spanish and Golden Lake to establish herds at other points in Eastern Canada. Spurred by the success of goat herd- ing on reserves in the East, goats were also introduced into reserves in Western Canada, and at the close of 1943 an increasing number of agents showed' interest in the organization and establishment of goat herds. The agent of the Stuart Lake Agency in Northern British Columbia reported that eight milking nannies and three billies had been purchased for ship- ment to Fort St. James and distributed to the Stuart Lake, Tatoee, and Grand Rapids Bands. Beneficial results from the use of goat's milk are re- ported from the Kamloops Agency. 'rite Indian Agent states that one of the two mulch goats purchased by that agency had been given to a member of the Adams Lake Band whose small daughter was in hospital for months with a bad case of malnutrition. He had seen her recently and the change in her appearance and health was un- believable. The family to which the other goat was assigned had a tuber- culosis history and it was hoped to avoid further inroads. by the use of goat's Milk, Goats are also being purchased and distributed to reserves in the Prairie Provinces and the Maritime Provinces.
