NEED EVERY EGG
FOR FOOD SUPPLY
In an endeavour to convey to egg
producers in Canada the urgency of
obtaining from existing flocks every
egg possible this year and of conserv-
ing its quality right through to the
consumer, the Egg and Poultry Mar-
ket Report of the Marketing Service,
Dominion Department of Agriculture,
emphasizes the necessity of making
every egg count. The overall need
for food is the justification for this
appeal at this time. Europe needs
food particularly animal proteins, and
there is not enough food of that kind
in sight to meet all requirements in the
next six months.
Great Britain has provided liberally
of her supplies for military relief in
European countries. As a result she
has already been forced to reduce
rations for her own people. Eggs are
an important asset in providing, need-
ed proteins. The need now is even
greater than during the European war.
Every effort is required, therefore, to
to see that all possible eggs be pro-
duced by existing flocks and not one
egg that is produced be lost either
through deterioration in quality or
through breakage.
AFRICA TRIP SHOWS
TWO-WAY TRADE NEED
Son-in-Law of Wingham Lady Had
Great Air Trip
Editor's note: The following article
was taken from an issue of the Globe
and Mail of last week. Mr. Sainsbury,
who took the trip and who was inter-
viewed by the Globe and Mail, is a
son-in-law of Mrs. V. R. VanNorman
of town, and his wife was the former
Jean VanNorman, sister of Mrs.
George Ross. We are sure that the
article will be of much interest to our
readers, not only for its local interest
but'also for the opinions expressed by
Mr. Sainsbury who is a leading food
importer,
A 5-foot-long "short snorter," a
passport stamped by officials of a doz-
en. countries in almost as many langu-
ages and a healthy liking and respect
for the South African and his country
arc the principal momentos of a 21,-
000-mile two-month jaunt by air that
a Toronto food broker has to show
after arrival home,
Arthur H, Sainsbury, a good-natur-
ed and quiet-spoken business man who
likes to see for himself, puffed on hiS
pipe in his Yonge St. office and ex-
pressed trenchantly Some of the con-
elusions he had reached on matters of
world economics. He is ail advocate
of increased two-way trade, more buy-
ing from other tountries and less em-
things settle down to normal again,
and they arc anxious to get our capital
goods, such as machinery, for their
own industrial expansion.
Another thing, South Africa — and
few people realize it—is one of the
world's wealthiest countries for its
size. There is a tremendous potenial
of backlogged spending power built up
and they .want Canadian goods.
Trains arid Hotels
There is one conclusion that he has
.reached on something the rest of the
world should have, and that is some
Canadian ideas on how to run trains
and build hotels". He named some
famous hotels, world landmarks, that
he stayed at and made some uncompli-
mentary remarks about their plumbing.
South African Government officials
were quite taken when he showed theta
a picture of a large and well-known.

selves. •
Biggest thrill of the entire journey
however, was meeting his son, Flt. Lt.
Van Sainsbury, an RCAF Spitfire
pilot, in London on the way home.
The Toronto traveller cabled his son
via London from Cairo, not knowing
exactly where his son, whom he had
not seen for 21/2 years, might be.
Three hours after he arrived in Lon-
don his son knocked on his hotel room
door. He had flown in from his fight-
er squadron in Germany and had four
days' leave with his father in London.
phasis on one-way selling for Canada.
South Africa, Mr. Sainsbury be-
lieves is a kind of unknown land as
far as Canadians are concerned and
he himself, although he had been im-
porting its products for some years,
admitted that he got quite an eyeful.
On Many Airlines
He left Toronto May 12 and flew
via Newfoundland, the Azores, Rabat
in French Morocco, Cairo and up the
storied Nile to Khartoum, Lake Vic-
toria, Mozambique and Durban, from
there to Cape Town. He went on the
invitation and, sponsorship of the
South African Government and flew
there and back, touching London on
the way home, on a variety of airlines
that included the TCA, the RAF
Transport Command, British Overseas
Airways, South African Airways, Pan
American and American Airlines.
The whole trip tots up to over 21,-
000 miles, virtually every mile of
which was covered through' the express
sanction of the South African Govern-
ment and only over the rubber stamps
of scores of big and little officials.
Without Government sanction nowa-
days, he pointed out, "it's even im-
possible to get a berth on a British
railway train."
In the interests of his own business
connections, Mr. Sainsbury went first
to see the wine growers of the Paarl
area, whose products he imports to
Canada. This is around Cape Town
and he will tell you that the area is
a lush paradise that compares with or
even tops Southern California for
scenery, climate and nice people.
At this point he added that the
Afrikaan—South African of Dutch
descent—is one of the most admirable
persons you'll run into anywhere and
is genuinely anxious to learn more
about Canada and do more business
with Empire countries, even if the
Afrikaan isn't completely oversold on
being a member of the British Com-
monwealth, which he definitely isn't.
Views of Wider Trade
Mr, Sainsbury paused here to relight
his pipe then spoke with emphasis of
his belief in the need for increased
two-way trade,
"Look here, now," as the pipe-stem
tapped, "we Canadians have been try-
ing to sell our products to other
people without offering to buy much
Of theirs. For example— I haven't
got the exact figures—but I believe
that South Africa bought some $18
million worth of our products a year
before the war and we bought only $3
million worth from them. That's not
good etonoinies."
South Africa, he added, could sup-
ply us with dried fruits, sugar, oranges,
and a number of other items when
