Market for Surplus Beef i
1945
Producers of beef in Canada are
assured of a iia.ket tar ell serplui
beef in Britain for the year 1945,
states Hon. James G, Gardiner,
Dominion Minister of Agriculture.
He was referring to the stet:mznt
made in the British House of
Commons on November 15th by the
Minister of Food, to the effect that
Canada will supply n minimum of
60,000,000 lbs. of beef in 1944 and
1945, but that the United Kingdom
will purchase a minimum of 112,000,-
000 lbs. in 1944, 134,400,000 lbs. in
1945 and will be glad to talce addi-
tional amounts of available.
Mr. Gardiner explain:i "It has
been the policy of the Dominion
Government since early in the war
to have a clause in the agreement
with Britain read 'not less than' a
given number of pounds. The beef
agreement was the 'first departure
from this in that a maximum as well
as a minimum was set. The stets
ment. made By the Colonel Llewellin
removes the maximum limitation and
in effect says to Canadian producers
there is a market in Britain for all
serpins beef for the year 1945."
Milk Heals Wounds
Soviet seientits have developed a
paste of pressed milk which is effec-
tive in curing wounds. In a Novesi
brisk hospital were several alien
whose wounds healed very slowly,
novocaine blocking, ultra violet ray
treatment, antiseptics, and per-
manganate baths not .proving of
much value. The special milk paste
was applied and the wounded were
well again. During the Leningrad
blockade, this paste was used in all
the Leningrad hospitals.
Cheese Of Life
Dairying has been identified with
Switzerland for centuries, so it is not
surprising that cheese' figures prom -
intently in one of the national cus-
toms. At the birth' of a ehild, a cheese
is =made, named after the ,child, and
carefully stored away. When the
child grows up and marries, the
cheese is presented at the •marriage
feast, together with the cheese of the
partner, and the guests eat a piece
of the cheese of both the bride and
the bridegroom to bring good 1uek.
What is left over of .the two cheeses
is carefully preserved in .separate
containers and is eaten by -the guests
at the fuuneral of the owner of the
namesake cheese.'

Tuesday, December 19
annoinced. Hire Rup:rt Brooke,
great English poet was busied, after
his death at Schryos, April 23rd,
1915. He wrote:—
"If I should die, think only this of
ire: ...
That there's some corner of a foreign
Field
That is for ever England:'
There, in the sand, they came upon
his grave,
Buried in olive shade, a mile from
shore;
These English school boys, called
agtfin to war
In life's young springtime, came
upon his grave.
A little wooden cross engraved in
black—
It said just "Rupert Brooke," his
date 61 birth
Ahad death, a little mound' of crum-
bling earth,
A lonely wooden cross engraved in
black.
And standing there, they wondered
if he knew
About the hitter intervening years
How England fought, the blood, the
sweat, the tears,
Her greatest hour. They wondered
if he knew.
Lemnos was freed, His dust at last
was theirs.
That poet son of England, long -since
dead -
Now slept in peace. No vulgar ty-
rant's tread
Should break his rest. His dust at
lest was theirs.

of wounded sailors, 'soldiers and airmen. But
