Zurich Herald, 1940-11-21, Page 7• CANADIAN SAILORS ON "ATLANTIC PATROL" Canada's naval men are writing a new chapter of heroism and sacrifice in the present war. Sailors aboard a Canadian destroyer are ehown here at their stations 'as their vessel knifes through the swells of the North Atlantic. POLICY ON NEWSPRINT FAVORS CHICAGO TRIBUNE PAPER. MILL While the question is important as to how, and when, the Abi- tibi paper company is to be re- organized, another question of great public interest in Ontario and Quebec is whether or not the governments of those two pro- vinces will continue exemptions from the rule calling for spread- ing of production equally among all the paper mills in the two provinces. This spreading of production, or "pro -ration" was instituted by government authority a couple of years ago in order that every mill town would have some business, Instead of a few being busy and a number being shut down entire- ly. The justification for govern- ment interference in this busi- ness is that the raw material of the paper mills is .derived almost entirely from crown lands lease's' to the paper companies, Before pro -ration, a suicidal sales policy in the industry was denuding the forests without adequate return to any public or private interest concerned. The industry has benefited from pro -ration, according to most authorities, but a grave weakness in the policy is that the Ontario government countenances certain exemptions. Most people would say that pro -ration should ripply to all factors in the indus- taT. Exemption was initially claim- ed by the Ontario Paper Com- pany, which is owned outright by the Chicago Tribune. The excuse lax the exemption claim is that the entire output of the Ontario Paper Company goes to the Chi- cago Tribune and its affiliated New York News. .Just what this has to do with spreading employ- SlOPPEb t1U1GKLY tlekknilettemitetinerse to tules lles est sego(ourt alit *St Dottie, at dru$giris proves iter money back ment among the mill towns of the two provinces will be obscure to most observers, But the Tribune's exemption became a fact. And with this ex- emption in force, certain other mills have had fairly good ex- cuses not to comply with the government's order. Thus the granting of one ex- emption has in some degree null- ified a government policy which was designed to help employees of paper mills in towns remote from communities where other work would be normally obtain- able. - HAVE - YCU HEARD? The pompous person stalked into the office and demanded to see the manager, "I'm sorry; sir, but he's not here," replied the secretary, "Is there anything I can do?" "No," snapped the stranger. "I never have my dealings with underlings. I'll wait until the manager returns." "Very well, take a neat," said the secretary as she continued with her work. As the time passed the man grew more impatient. "How much longer do you think he will be?" the stranger demanded. "About two weeks," was the reply. "He's on a vacation," Passenger; "Fish Hook -- that's an odd name for a sta. tion! Why do they call it that?"

The prodigal wrote for pa• ternal help, winding up with the confession that he was obliged to sleep in a disused cowshed. Back came a postcard from the father; "Pear Oswald, is there room for two?" The vacuum cleaner man, having finished his demonstra- tion, turned with a . beaming smile and showed the housewife the amount of debris which had been extracted. "Oh, my goodness, isn't that awful," said the woman. "I'll have to get rid of that carpet and put down linoleum." "I'm glad to meet a man who started at the bottom and worked his way up. Tell me, how did you begin? "I was a bootblack and now I'm a hairdresser." Modern BY ROBERTA LEE BY LEE 1.

Lost Element Found What he claims to be the 'est of the world's missing known elements completing the list of ninety-two which science has been trying to fill in since 1789, has been discovered by a Swiss radiologist, Dr. 'Walter Minder, of the Radium Institute in Berne. He calls it Helvetium, and says he isolated the element by ra- .dium disintegration, securing a :peek no bigger than one 10, - 000th of a milligram, "The quantity so far," be ad- mitted, "is too small to make practical experiments on possible uses of the new element," but he suggests that its properties would perhaps be discovered first in the U.S.A., because larger amounts of radium are available there. $low•Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS ' NONE FINER MADE DOUBLE ABOOKLETC•„�,, Ncveos Restless Girl!

Reviewing the progress in tho control, of smallpox, scurvy, chol- era and similar diseases which by persistent work had been render- ed almost unknown in Canada, Dr, Fleming urged that similar per- sistence be applied to such present day scourges as tuberculosis. Go After Tuberculosis "Infant mortality," he said, "quot- ing Sir Arthur Newsholme," is the most sensitive index we possess of social welfare." Out of 229,000 ba- bies born alive in Canada in 1939, 13,900 did not live to see their first birthday and of this numbere, 7,000 did not survive for one month. In addition, he said, there had been 6,000 stillbirths and 967 mothers' lives were lost in childbirth. These figures, he said, could be Interpreted in two ways, as en en- couraging improvement over con- ditions of former days, or as an impetus for action to avoid need- less waste of life, Without any question," he added, "Canada can save the Iives of 500 mothers and of at Ieast 6,000 babies. Should Be No Typhoid "In 1939 we had 109 typhoid fever deaths in this province, which would indicate an incidence of over 1,000 cases, not one of which should have occurred." Milk is the most important single of food used 113. the home, Dr. Fleming continued, and when con- taminated is "as dangerous to in- troduce into the family as a Iive bomb. Nevertheless, it is true that raw milk, which is always poten- tially dangerous, is regularly used by many people who flatter tI1em- selves that2 they are intelligent." Saves Up Pennies For Wedding Day Where there's a will, there's a way. A would-be bridegroom from out-of-town saved his pen- nies, turned up at the office of Miss M. D. Stewart, Sarnia, Ont., city clerk, accompanied by his bride-to-be, and planked down 500 of them to get his marriage license. Our Sturgeon Produce Caviar Selling iFor $1 .a Pound, It Witt Help Swell Canada's War Coffers ,Even the sturgeon in Canada's lakes and rivers have a place in the war effort and this year they will be responsible for purchase of at least a piece of a warplane, In other words and according to fisheries department experts, Canada has a good market for caviar in the United States, If Ontario production is up as production is reported to be in Manitoba, the Dominion will get at least $7,000 in United States money to use for war buying. Caviar usually sells for $1 a Ib. and this year prices are rising. Two factors enter into this tasty situation. First there are the prospects of a shortage for caviareaters in the tI.S. because the war has interfered with iin- purtations from Russia. Second, Manitoba expects to ship to the United States this year mare than 2,400 pounds of the delectable little fish eggs, 900 pounds more than last year. Last year Mani- toba shipped 1,512 pounds and Ontario sent 4,870 pounds to the United States. These two provin- ces are the big Canadian pro- ducers.
