Shut-In's Day -.A
AWE-INSPIRING and well-nigh unbeliev-
able are the victories that faith can win, Af-
flicted men and women learn and co-operate
with the inevitable,
and we who are well feel
like walking on tiptoe in their presence. They
do receive '
� a successful adjustment easily,
however, and sometimes it is , the realization
that they are not forgotten, and that they still
have -a large place—perhaps a larger place
than ever—in the affection of their friends,
that tips the scales in their favour, •When,
therefore, we remember, and call, we are con-
tributing to the most gallant victories that
are being won, anywhere.
Shut-in's' Day, Sunday next, June 4, sum-
mons us to this Christlike ministry on one
And that in itself is good; it
should also remind us that there might well
be many "Shut-in's Days" in the course of
a year.,
Day Twice Blest
But let us be under no. misapprehension..
While shut-ins are greatly helped by our
solicitude, they also have much to give. Few
would choose eh se a sickroom or a wheel chair as
a place from which to enrich the lives ' of
others. Yet many so confined accomplish ex-
actly that. Visitors see before their eyes what
courage and faith can do; in the presence of
afflictions bravely borne, they feel themselves
silently rebuked for their own grumbling over
.trifles; they find themselve's strangely exalted
before b therest
g ness of the human spirit..
Shut-in's Day, then, is twice blest.' "It
blesseth him that gives and him • that takes,"
Go to your sick friend out of a sense of
obligation—you will come away feeling that
you have received more than you have bestow-
ed, and that your "duty" has become a
privilege. -Rev, Allen R. Huband, Westminster
Church, Winnipeg.
Dairy Farmers On ,The Right Track
"WHAT'S THIS •CENT -A -POUND butter-
fat for advertising purposes going to cost me?".,
is a question heard often enough among dairy-
men across Canadathese days. The query is
a natural one for it is' in line with the active
promotion campaign of the' Dairy Farmers of
Canada to bring the meritsof dairy products
to the public more forcibly through advertis-
ing, A cent -a -pound butterfat, or the milk
equivalent, set aside during the month of June,
will establish the initial budget for this purpose,
The NEWS -RECORD is of .the opinion that
the dairy farmers are on' the right track, espec-
ially In view of the margarine situation. A
campaign, such as this, is long overdue.
Erle Kitchen, secretary -manager of the
Dairy Farmers of Canada, has' worked out a
few figures designed to serve as a guide to
milk and cream producers the country over.
For instance, on a hundred pounds of '3.5 milk
(3.5 pounds of butterfat) the deduction at a
cent a pound would be 3% cents; on 100
pounds of 4 per cent milk, it would be four
cents; on 40 pounds of 3.5 milk the deduction
would be 14 cents and so on through any
cilculatiori, simply using the butterfat test as
the key
Once the basic calculation was determined
it would then be a simple matter, Mr. Kitchen
points out, for the farmer to figure out about
what he would be called upon to pay on the
June set-aside for advertising purposes in a
national way. For the whole month of June,
a man who shipped 400 pounds a 'clay of 3.5
milk would pay only $4.20 as his contribit-
tion toward the promotion of greller use of
dairy products. The 500 -pound -a -day shipper
of 3.5 milk would pay. $5.25 for the :ninth,
while the 300 -pound -a -day shipper of 3.5 milk
would contribute $3.15.
In the case of. the cream producer, another
rule -of -thumb could be used, If a week's cream
production ran to about 80 pounds of 30 per
cent cream, the fat content would be 24
pounds. Four weeks of such production in
June would total 96 pounds of fat, or ap-
proximately 96 cents for the advertising set-
aside,
Preparing For
A TECHNIQUE for getting a strike vote,
at least among railway unions, is for district
moguls to visit the local lodges and tell the
members that a strike vote probably will not
mean a strike, but will greatly strengthen the
hands of the union bosses in making the
politicians come through handsomely, com-
ments The Printed Word, So the members,
of whom only a few really want a strike even
if they do not .get en increase in pay or
shorter hours, dutifully authorize the negotia-
tors to tell the employers that, however rea-
sonable they, the negotiators, are, the men
back home in the offices, the shops and the
roundhouses will accept no compromise.
It's a stickup, the public being the prospec-
tive victim. The public is defenceless and
won't even scream as might a girl cashier in
a movie box office, the paper says.
Onewho was a guest en the Chateau Laur-
ier on July 14, 1948, recalls the neatly printed
• cards warning all to get out before the dead-
line if they wanted food or service. The air
was akin to that when the world waited for
Mr. Chamberlain to get back from Munich
with "peace in our time." Hon. Mr. Humph -
Another Stickup
eey Mitchell, minister of labor, was handling
things for the public, it having been intimated
to the railways that they'd have nothing fur-
ther to say. Handling union interests was the
same Frank Hall who now heads the railway
unions and who again expects to prove that
he can bend the sovereign government of
Canada to his will, in defiance of conciliation
boards,public opinion, public welfare and
ultimate interest of railway workers. (Some
railway workers have heard of highway trans-
port).
Mr. Hall undoubtedly hopes and expects
the pattern of the stickup in 1950 to be the
same as in 1948. It can hardly be different
when the largest employer is the government
railway—though maybe Donald Gordon will
take to the radio, which might give pause
even to a truculent labor leader.
But if the government railway is told by
the government that it must succumb to the
unreasonable demands, the privately -owned
railways must 'do likewise. It is not feasible
to compete with the Crown, even in opposition
to folly, leading to bankruptcy, The Printed
Word concludes,
Winnipeg Flood Has Swall
ONE BY-PRODUCT of the. Red River's
rampaging is an acute shortage of used burlap
bags, reports The Financial Post. Millions of
them have; -gone into the desperate sandbag
defence against the flood. '
Used burlap bags constitute a distinct
industry. They are ,a commercial commodity
with markets of their own. There are Cana-
dian business firms devoted exclusively to the
reconditioning ` of used bags. When the flood
strikes, dealers and reconditioners speeded up
the normal tempo, of their work to give dike
builders everything within their power; so now
there is a considerable hole in normal bag
stocks.
Fortunately, the flood demand came in the
not -too -busy spring seaa'cn; and some Industry
owed Potato Bags In One Gulp
sources believe the supply will be caught up
before July potato harvest time, In the mean-
time, prices of used bags may advance two
or three cents, one dealer estimates.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY—Repartee is the
big man's smart answer to your question. If
it comes from a little man, you call it an ..
insult.
'Summer weather brings out the bicycle
brigade. Watch for those bike riders, some
of them: may be wobbly beginners. Give them
a wide berth, and be ready to step down
hard on those brakes that you had tightened
up last week u. . . Or did yott??
