Sl ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager • Clintme Old Home, Week, Saturday - Wednesday, August 5 - 9, 1950 • THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1910 Looking At Faraway Fields GENERALLY SPEAKING, editors, like to , and Lake Superior up on the northern corner. discuss figures from the home scene but when unfavorable comparisons have to be made, it may help them to take a detached view if the samples are from a situation in which - 'they are not involved, A map of the United States, designed to set out the varying . tuberculosis death rates in that county, is done.in , black 'and white and two kinds of grey, • with twelve states in each group, White indicates , the states which have a TB death rate between 9.5 and 19.5—well below the national average of 30 per 100,000. The next twelve are done in plain grey and denote the states with 20-29 rates — just under the wire of the national average. Then come those in cross -hatched grey. They go from. 29.1 to 35.5. Finally come those (with printers' ink used liberally to display the black picture) whose TB death rates range from 35,6 to 22.4. Right in the centre is a block in pure white, made up of . the Dakotas and their. neighbors. "Ah," 'some will say, "those are the places with a dry, bracing climate." The argument is not backed up by further study of the map, for one of the block is Wisconsin which has Lake Michigan on the east side Then looking :toward the Atlantic seaboard one finds New Hampshire,: getting the benefit of the fogs but in the lowest -rate quartile all the same. Turning toward the Pacific one finds Oregon also is in the same group, despite the sea on her west 'coast. There are places which -have been known to blame their high TB -rates on the neighbors- but Utah isn't one of them, Utah's record long has been a joy to anti -tuberculosis work- ers because over the last ten years, its TB mortality rate has been between 9.5 and 15 pr 100,000, despite the fact that the states on tivo sides are marked in funeral black and a' third side belongs to the cross -hatched or next -to -the worst quartile. ° The more one studies, the harder it is to evade the conclusion that low rates mean just ▪ one thing—a lot of people working hard over a long period at tuberculosis control, ,not stopping for partial success but keeping right on, looking just as hard for the day when the TB death rate will be five per 100,000, as they did to get it down from 100 to 75, from 75 to 50, for they had to do it once, We, in Canada, could learn a lesson from that. A, Two-way Benefit THE IMPORTANCE to Canada of de- valuating the British pound has net been fully understood by all of us. Many people thought at first that, by devaluation,, benefits were to accrue solely to the United Kingdom and that Canada's interest was merely used on • factors • of friendship, traditional ties, and'humanitarian consideration. James S.. Duncah, chairman of the Dollar Sterling Trade Board, has stated specifically that this is a problem in which the self- interest of Canada also is involved. fOCanada has a good market iii Britain," he points out. "It is difficult, if not impossible, to replace that market once lost. It need not be lost if Canada gives Britain the opportunity to earn enough Canadian dollars to pay for the goods that Britain imports from this country. Can- adian consumers, therefore, would be acting in their own best interests by purchasing Brit- ish goods whenever an alternative choice is apparent." This has been the first motivation for focussing the attention of Canadian firms on British `offerings, but many Canadians are discovering a still further benefit. The re- valued pound has meant that many a Canadian company, in ordering from the United King- dom, has at the same time saved money. This is good business on all counts—the Canadian consumer gains and the trade positions of both Canada and the United Kingdom are improved. The Peril Of Subsidies THE SENATE'S committee on trade of- fered some sound advice when it urged sub- stantial duts in government subsidies' and dis- continuance entirely "except in costs of great urgency," states The Financial Post. If some- thing' like this is not done the annual bill for these public handouts is.. going to reach stag- gering proportions, and control is likely to get completely out of hand. Once a subsidy is granted, those receiving it have a tendency to regard it as something they are entitled to permanently. And the longer that subsidy is paid the more that feeling develops. Event- ually it takes a• pretty courageous member of parliament to say no when that subsidy comes, up for renewal. Emery dollar handed out by Ottawa in subsidies should be scrutinized annually. There should be no such thing as automatic renewal. Only where the original need still continues and continues in acute form is there any ex- cuse for continuing to hand out public funds. THOUGHT FOR TODAY—Now if it could only put floors and ceilings on the thermom- eter, what a wonderful government we'd have. Federation News (By GORDON M. GREW, Secretary -Treasurer and Fieldman) Dairy Farmers' Campaign Considerable press space has been devoted to the Dairy Farm- ers of Canada campaign to raise funds to be 'used in an advertis- ing campaign throughout the coming year. The contribution of each it dividual farmer may have been small but when added together the grass amount placed the Dairy -Farmers among the five largest advertisers in Canad4a. So at- tractive were the possibilities of this programme devel,ping into a very worth while business, that 16 advertising agencies in Canada are striving for the job of eon- - ducting the campaign., for the Owning year. There is a need to increase our consumption of milk by the home, market by 4r/ pints per family per month, eat eight ounces df butter per family, more and more cheese and concentrated milk. This would eliminate the small surplus that causes so much worry to our producers. If each family spent one dollar per month more on good wholesome dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter, etc., the entire surplus that builds up in a period of high production, would vanish. According to a press release from the Dairy Farmers'' of Can- ada sent out on July 13, our ad- vertising campaign has just been started in the nick of time. Ac- cording to Gilbert Maltaillan, president of the Dairy Farmers. of Canada, who has just return- ed from Great Britain and West- ern Europe, we will find no market for our surplus dairy products over there. Britain now has reached the point in'produc- tion where she has over five million gallons of milk surplus over fluid requirements. Be- cause of this lack of export mar- ket, we must strive to increase our home consumption.. If the cost of our dairy pro- ducts was reduced, there would be a better chance of increasing home consumption of dairy foods. At the present time spec- ulators are forcing the price of feed grains up almost one-third higher than they should be, Why should our Government permit people to speculate in anything that directly effects the cost of ford? When you find grain be- ing sold several times without even moving from the elevators, you can surmise that someone is fnaking money for doing nothing, All these advances in the price of grain eventually are passed on to the consumer of ""the food produced by feeding the grain that has been made to costly by selling and re -selling it and each time at a profit. Give the farm- er feed grain at what it should cost him and the consumer' will get his foodstuffs, at a more reasonable price, We have Royal Commissions investigating almost every other. racket; how about the present racket on feed grains? Lets have a little pressure from both con- sumer and prpducer to clear up this situation that is working a hardship on both of us.

Theirs is not an easy undertak- ing, Law' breakers acquire skill not only in breaking laws but also in avoiding detection. It is sometimes hard to get adequate evidence against the law breaker even when it 'is common know- ledge that he. is breaking the law, But sooner or later the law break- er is caught and convicted. Soon- er or later the police get their man. In these parte the public is being well served by an hon- est and energetic police.
