HUNDRED MILLION
FACING FAMINE
(By Edna Jaques)
"I need a good argument to con-
vince my family that there should be
two meatless days a week in our
house."
This was what a Prairie woman
said at an Institute meeting last week.
Below are a few answers, not only
for her but for every housewife in
Canada.
There are 100 million people in
Europe who are in imminent danger
of starving, unless we semi food to
them. These people are not just plain
hungry . . . many are dying of star-
vation.

NOTICE TO FARMERS
Mr. F. F. Francis, Associate Pro-
fessor of Poultry at the O.A.C,,
Guelph, has issued a statement which
says they have received word from the
Coal Controllers Office that the re-
serve stock of brooder coal is lower
than ever before due to transportation
and labour problems. All those in-
terested in having a supply for the
1946 season should make application
to their local coal dealer in the near
future.
Mr. E, K. Hampson, Regional
Supervisor. of Fertilizers has notified
agricultural offices that Fertilizer
companies are .having difficulty in
keeping supplies on hand and they fear
when sowing of wheat becomes general
that they will not be equipped to
handle the orders and that early order-
ing will help them to render much
better service.
Handclasp for Women's Ingenuity
Meat rationing is just around the
corner. Perhaps I should amend that
to read "formal meat rationing". For
most of us are observing the request
to go easy on meat so that hungry
people in Europe can have a little.
Being a mere man, and knowing
very little about housekeeiting, I've
been doing little worrying, But my
wife, who has to do the thinking about

Friendship in Coal
"Nor do I want it ever to be said....
that Americans loved their comfort..;-
so much that they did not lift a finger
to shield the brave men and women
of the devastated countries of our
allies from the marrow-chilling ordeal
that faces them this winter. We can-
not expect a friendly handshake from
hands swollen with chilblains," said.
Harold L. Ickes, Solid Fuels Admini-.
strator of the U.S.A., in pledging to
send every available ton of coal to
Europe. Some of this coal would
ordinarily have come to Canada,
particularly Ontario and Quebec, and.,
that is one very good reason why we
may find ourselves short of coal this,
winter in spite of the war being over.
such things, is being patriotic and is
keeping meat off the menu on Tues-
days and. Fridays.
I don't notice my waistline getting
any smaller, and my (shirts fit as
snugly as ever. When she announced
that there were to be two meatless
days I blanched a little, and had all
sorts of visions of unpleasant meals.
But I hadn't reckoned with the in-
genuity of a woman. Tuesdays and
Fridays come around, and there's al-
ways some good tasting meal on the
table. So I can't complain really.
I know it's true . people are
always telling us . . . that Canada
hasn't suffered like other nations so
far as shortages of food, and bombs
dropping are concerned. But it has
always seemed to me that its a little
unfair to blame people because things
haven't happened to them. I suppose
that if bombs had fallen, and we had
tos do without all sorts of things, we
would have shouldered the conse-
quences as well as anyone else.
At any rate, the women of Canada
deserve a vote of thanks, and a hearty
handclap to boot, for the way they've
knuckled down to rationing, insofar as
it has affected them.
I've heard 'very little complaint, if
any, about the rationing of meat.
Most people say, "Well, it won't do
us any harm. It's going to help the
other guy. We can do without."
