' The purpose of the Order in Coun- cil, ,authorizeig the ' payment of the subsidies is that fertilizers will cost approximately the same in: Canada as a whole. The means of aceemplishing this is.by subsidizing -;all' transporta- tion costs above $1.00 per ton. The ' total subsidies for this program are estimated at $725,000 in 1944, about ' the -same amount as was paid in 1943 on 'suliventions when. the fertilizer was. used .on feed crops. , The change to freight assistance -was considered, necessary because , other groups of crops have become. just as esSential to the war effort as \ the feed crops. By subsidizing the freight costs in excess of non per ton, farmers' will obtain fertilizers at -practically the same cost whether near to or far from the fertilizer pLants. Such eq- ualization of cost - should result in gen- eral encouragement to farmers: •for ' ere') production everywhere. Under the terms of the "Order in Council,. the claims for the freight assistance are to be made by the fer- tilizer distributors who may be ag- ents, dealers, co-operatives or others who sell fertilizers directly to farm- ers. These -distrihntore.are' required to pass on to the farmers an ysav- sings resulting from the subsidies :when transporting the fertilizer from the plant to the point of local distri- . hation where the farmers fake -deliv- ery. The ;principal point for farmers to remember is that they should in- vest on not being charged by any die- , rtributor for. the fertilizer more than $1.00 per ton above the f.o.b. factory ceiling -price establiiked by the Wail tittle Prices and trade Board. * * * r Hog ,Marketings in 1943 Set Record • Canadian farriers le 1943 marketed 1 through inspected Packipg• Ideate 11 hogs for every five they sold before tthe war, Eon.

' Asked if he believed...that the 1943 record -production would be maintain- ed this year, Mr. Gardiner reiterated the statement he lead previously made at the recent Dominion-Proviacial Ag- ricultural Conference that there were several good eeasons for farmers to attempt it. - These ,reasons maintaing hog production the Minister listed as:— First, the fact that there is a market in Britain for all the hogs of good quality we can, produce. Secoed, it will be helpful not only to Britain to maintain her four, enlace weekly bac- on ration but to Canadian fanners to demonstrate that Britain can, d:epend upon Canada for supplies in peace or war. Third, it will inspire confidence that a long-time„ contract to. -supply that Market with a greater anima than the-fminimum of 900 million pounds for two years suggested can be fulfilled. Fourth, the future of the hog producing inchiSitry in Canada will be made secure if farmerearmite tain the highest production in 1944. TUCKERSMITH . .

Salt Was a Symbol is al ' Of Sancitty The peoples of the ancient world he regarded salt as a symbol of sanctity. e, To spill it boded evil „ . and this, he superstition persists today: Throw - d ing a pinch or spilled salt over the til left shoulder is a custom that dates - es, front time -immemorial. The ancients 0- b'elieved that this appeased the evil, st spirits lurking behind them Salt is also .a symbol of happiness. In some parts of Russia married ecu - • pies carry a quantity of salt with h_ thein when they first enter their new f- home. This they scatter in the four e corners of the house, .believing that s happiness will dwell with them. v- Salt was one 'used for mon4Y, and still is in, the South Seas. Warriors of ancient Rome were paid in salt and hence the derivation of the word 'sal- e:tee Salt is now a weapon of war. • A o -pinch goes into every weapon, every machine and every uniform.

Ire will be known in the re cord as: "Austenity John," for his gov- ernment has had to impose upon an undisciplined people and country the most severe regimen they have exper- ienced. In Curtin's philosophy, Aus- tralia and its oroudPeeple -should net ask for help until they have expend- ed the full last ounce of their own efforts; in their; own defence. "The primary responsibility for the defence of this country," he said, "devolves upon the ;people of Australia." In a country that has a -passion, for horse- rateing and gambling, Curtin has im- posed raceless Saturdays. Curtin lives In the prime ministers lodge, a white bungalow -type 'house owned by the governm.ent. site elongeide one of Canberra's curving, spacious and empty avenues. His of - nee is on the second floor of Parlia- ment House, a simple white structure of brick and concrete, some day to be replaced by a massive, imposing home of the federal parliament. Can- berra is slowly filling in the outlines of a great city; Australia today pose,' sessee the foundations of a great na- tion of the future. As he sits at his desk in his un- adorned office, Curtin thinks about the rising pro-bine:is of the future that are already centralized in 'this very room, and in the cabinet Mem through a short passageway nearby. Federal parliament is actually smaller in membership than Some of the state parliaments, and whoever is -prime minister of Australia must seize the nettle cif state rights. Curtin and his able attorney -general, Dr. H. V. Ev- att, are in almost continuous negittl'a eons with the states on consti- tutional reform. Curtin is just under six feet in' height. He has gained ten pounds since he became wartime prime min- ister,' too much desk work and too lit- tle exercise.

Such confer- ences may, mean tram -ocean flying for Curtin, who has flown in. an airplane only twice before. During the- 1943 election campaign, so the story goes; the R.A.A.F. flew the prime minister out to. Perth, 2,500 miles from . Can- berra, and as the story continues, Curtin endured a rough flying experi- ence like a 'sport- Such incidents as this are reported around Australia in Curtinfs favor. Australia's prime minieter, like Canada's, has, no bodyguard. This astonishes U.S. servicemen on leave who see him in the streets, the rail- way stations and hotels. Curtin first ran for parliament in 1914 and was defeated, a' in the same year was rejected when he volunteered for th-e Australian Imperial Force. He be- came a prominent anti -conscriptionist and man foul of the Hughes govern- ment's anti -sedition regulation. Curtin was in jail for a few days.' In this too much reading, for he is self-edit- catede_ A mae,.ef sober - dress, he startled Canberra by appearing in a green felt hat not long ago. His. father was a police sergeant who be- came a hotel manager, and John Cur- tin received a „sketchy elementary schooling in sevendifferent towns. He represents Fremantle, Western Australia, in parliament. ' He is a newspaperman and retains an Austra- lian Journalistic AssOciation card. Perhaps that is why Curtin main- tains unusual relations with the press in canberra. He sees the ;press ev- ery working day he is in Canberra, though the cabinet frequently meets in Melbourne where many govern- ment departments; still reside. Curtin provides ,his press corps with more off-the-record, background...material- on national -and , interta.tional altait's than any leader in Ottawa certainly, and doubtless in London or Washing- ton either.
