TWO THE WINGHAM. ADVANCE-TIMES Wingham Advance-Times. Published at WINGHAM - ONTARIO 'Subscription Rate — One Year $2.00 'Six Months $1,00 in advance To U.S.A. 2.50 per year • Foreign Rate $3.00 per year Advertising rates on application Authorized as Second Class Mail Post .Office Department Vol, 75 — No, 9 MILK ROUTE CONTROL PROPOSED When the Ontario Provincial Legis- lature reconvened without any formai- ities on October 22nd, after a six- month adjournment, it gave the power to regulate and control the delivery routes of dairies to the Ontario Milk Control Board under a bill introduced by Agriculture Minister T, L, Ken- nedy. It provides for the board to make regulations, subject to the ap- proval of the Lieutenant-Governor-in- Council, designating the number of deliveries that may be made each week, the days for such deliveries and the types of containers used. In the Royal Commission report on milk released on October 20th, it was stated that the key to cheaper milk seemed to lie in lowering distribution costs which could be effected by re- moving the overlapping in deliveries. The new act makes the price paid to the consumer on October 22 as the minimum and maximum for the time being, While putting a floor tinder the producer's price and a ceiling on the consnmere prices--which vary ac- cording to different areas.—the act per- snits dairies to lower their retail prices if they wish, * HAIR YEAR FEDERAL SURPLUS. A surplus of $482,605,520 was re- ported by the Federal Treasury on Oc- tober 17 for the first six months of the current fiscal year. Last year at this time the Treasury reported a surplus of $119,340,342 and the financial year was completed with a record surplus of $332,000,000. From April 1 to October 1 revenues amounted to $1,381,667,849 .and expen- ditures to $$89 06? 329, Simultaneous with the release of the Treasury fig- ures came an announcement by Rev- enue "Minister McCann that income tax and customs-excise collections for the first six months of this year amounted to $1,261,428,368, an increase of $79,- 178,359. * * * ARTHRITIS NEEDS SPECIALIZED TREATMENT Canada's No. 1 crippler is arthritis, according to statistics compiled by the Greater Vancouver Health League, and yet there is only one hospital in Can- ada with equipment for specialized treatment of the disease and it can accomodate only 75 paying ,patients. Canadians suffering from some form of chronic rheumatic disease total 600,- 000. The average age of the victim is 41 and the average age of those perman- ently crippled is 55. Its chief victims are in the mining, logging, fishing, ag- rieniturssl and kindred industries, The crippler results in the loss of snore work days than any other chronic ail. anent, except nervous and mental dis- eases, with a total of 8,300,000 last year, Op the average a $4,00 .a day this means a loss of $33 millions. For every ease of tuberculosis, the report shows, there are 10 of arthritis; one heart case for two arthritis; one of diabetes to 10 ,and one cancer to seven of arthritis, There is an urgent need for more hospitals with equipment for specialized treatment of this. No: 1 crippler and money should be supplied by public and private means to facil- itate snore speedy and more intensive research into .the causes and cures of this dread disease. * * CANNED MUSIC BANNED Mr. James C. Petrillo, President of the American Federation of Musicians, has ordered all musicians in Canada and the United States to stop snaking electrical transcriptions and phono- graph records after December 31 this year, He states that "the musicians are determined once and for all that they will not make the instrument that will eventually destroy them." He fig- ures that the artists will make up for an annual loss of $5,000,000 in record- ing fees through the resulting demand for personal performances, One of the primary , reasons that music, popular and classical, has reach- ed and is maintaining such extraordin- ary public popularity is because of the phonograph record for home use and the electrical transcription on the radio, Personal performances whet the ap- petite for records and transcriptions and vice versa. To ban all recordings will be like killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Public inconvenience and the lay-of- of thousands of work- ers in ancillary industries may cause the organization of an opposition to Mr. Petrillo. * * * PERFECT !SAFETY RECORD C. H. (Punch) Dickens of Toronto, in his presidential address to the open- ing of the annual meeting of the Air Industries and Transportation Associ- ation of Canada recently at tS. Jovite, Quebec, said Canadian Airlines with fixed schedules, despite a record num- ber of 556,000 passengers, suffered no serious accidents in 1946. The index showed a record of 197, 800,000 passenger-miles without loss of life, compared with one death for 80,- 890,000 passenger-miles in the United States in 1946,- he said. This is a re- cord for safe transportation which can- not be beaten and of which Canadian Airlines may justly be very proud. * * • WEEKLY THOUGHT Learn to tell a story; a good story, well told, is as welcome as sunshine in a sick room. • * KNOW WINGHAM The spiritual needs of the citizens of Wingham and surrounding district are well looked after.
