Start the meat in boillhg wa- ter and boil it for several minute so the heat will penetrate to the centre of the meat, then turn down the ele- ment so the water does not bubble but keeps at a simmering tempera- ture.

News Letter Ottawa.—Vastly improved medical, hospital and nursing services for farm 'areas, villages and towns is one of the prime objects of the Dominion Government's Health Insurance Bili, Hon. Ian Mackenzie,. Minister. of Pen- sions and National. Health, told the Dominion -Provincial ' Health Confer- ence here. Due to lack of doctors, nurses, hospitals and , public health servic.es in rural districts, sickness and death rates -are much higher in the country than in urban centres, Mr. Mackenzie stated. Less than six per cent, of ruraf communities have. full-time medical healthe officers, sur- veys show.

The Dominion Heialth Minister made it plain that ode main purpose of the plan •is. to expand hospital, medical and dental services in rural:• areas.'"" He suggested to the provinces that doctors and other '•professional people engaged. under the echheme to serve the public be paid on e, salary basis in rural sections to.ensure as good serviee for people on farms and in villages and towns, as for those div ing in cities. Scheme To Cost $250,000,000 Yearly Of 'the $250,000,000 annual cost of complete medicalservice to all, it is expected that $150,000,000 will be met -by contributions of insured persons and that the Dominion will pay the balance . of • $100,000,000. Provinces would thus have to pay .only cost of administration and for service to those unable , to pay the stipulated nominal charges.. In this regard,. the impression is strong here that cost of the scheme to' individuals will be reduced below the amounts originally proposed. Fin- aneial detpils will be settled at a general Dominion -Provincial. Confer- ence later. Individual .provinces haves ing` authority under the B.N-A: over health, can join in tee, scheme or not, as they wish. But most have indi- eated "their intention to participate. Farm Credit Plan Wins Approval Hon. L. Ralston, Acting Prime Minister while Rt.. Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King is e4reaseas, assured the Commons that tire hill providing for loans , for farm improvement will soon be presented"' to Parliament.. Mean- time consideration of the new Bank Act proceeds in committee. Hon. J. L. Ilsley pointed out' that provision for a floor under farm prices and other measuges to assure agricultur- al prosperity, will greatly help far- mers', credit in the future. But he indicated also that the government may soon go ahead with the Central Mortgage Bank Act, which will make long term loans more easily .avail- able to farmers at reasonable ,rates. The new Bank Act provisions for medium term loans to farmers for purchase of machinery, electrical sys- tems and for improvement such as fencing and drainage, have won gen- eral apfiroval. , The .government plan to guarantee part;°of such loans, extend the time payment and reduce , interest, toge- ther with • the ' proposed Mortgage Bank establishment, is regarded here as opening a new era for farm fin- ancing; both through the chartered banks' and otherwise. It.is also pre- dicted' that, by longer .term bank bor- rowing and paiing'•'gash for imple- ments and machinery, prices of these will be substantially reduced. Cost of `credit for balance of the purchase price will be much less a,nd credit losses` will not have to be in- cluded in the original price, as now: Canada to Develop Northern Oil Fields Exploration and • development Of Canada's immense 100,000,000 -acre oil fields in the Northwest Territories and the Yukon will continue with 'Dominion Government encourage- ment, Hon. T. A. Crerar, Minister of Mines and Resources, told Parlia- ment. At the height 'of the Japanese in- easion threat in 1942, ' the United States was given the :right to' devel- op the fields around `Fort Norman, to provide gasoline ,and oil for Canadian and United States forces along the Pacific Coast and in Alaska.. The 11.S. spent $134,000,000 and un- covered a proven field of 4,500 acres, with an estimated reserve of 60,000,- 000 barrels of crude oil. Now that the Japanese menace has been large- lg •removed, the United States is dis- continuing its operations. Imperial ?Ott,.

The•idea is to help them carry on interrupted or deferred stu- dies preparing them• for re:establish- airent after the war, • • •Classes -are be- ing carried on in Sicily and Italy and it is interesting to know that with text books furnished` by the 'Interna- tional Red Cross through the Legion, of :Abe 4,09.8 men in one 'German pris- on . camp, some 2,373 attended"these classes. 1 From May 22nd to May 27th the eyes of the nation will be focused on Mrs. Consumer. Women's Institutes, church and blug, groups from coast to coast, .will 'observe the week; with specialprograms featuring the part Canadian women are playing in earry- ing out the government's economic stabilization program. Every woman, whether in she: rural or 'urban 'cen- tres, ' will be .asked ;to stand •firm against •• -any increase hi the cost pf living. A country woman tending her house and garden;' milking the f cows and looking after the chickens is `'re- sponsible in no small measure. After all, there 'are apiiroximately' 732,715 farrliers' wives in Canada.. These wo- men, through the way they run things in their own homes and on their 'farms, whether by saving money to help make their land free from debt, or by putting their surplus cash into Victory "Bonds and Certificates, by managing .to get "along on their ra- tions and not buying more thian they need, ,by ,refusing •,to „pay„ .hitg'heT ,.than: ceiling prices; . by' helping' to pal* farm taxes promptly, are , able :to make an effective ,. contribution not only to the seteurity of their own homes, but also to the stability of their own Canada. That's just logi- cal. , • The United KtngdoM is• felting pret- ty much the same amount of cheese Brom Canada this- coming twelve months, as in the past twelve. An agreement went into effect last week by which we will be shipping 125,000",- 000 pounds of cheese at a pice of 20 cents a ,,pound at the cheese 'factor- ies.' - - * * 'aF Victory- gardens are big stuff 111 Canada and an important part of, our wartime °economy, make no mistake about that. A survey ;Was,, planned, tabulated and analyzed •by the aeon omits division .of the Departinent of .Agriculture with assistance • and co- operation of the Women's Voluntary', Centres of the. National War Services Department, and it really is interest- ing. A total of 115 m'lliion pounds, or 37,500 tons, of vegetables were grown last year in 209,200 wartime gardens in Canadian cities : and towns of.t thousand or more population,' and that doesn't• include the many thou- sands 'of war gardens in villages' and on farms. "rhey estimate the ,produc- tion per garden was about 550, pounds. One urban householder in every sev- en had a wartime garden in 1943, which is 15 per cent up on 1942 and 24 per cent above -l940. Approximate= ly 37 per cent of the stuff grown were potatoes; 14 per cent tomatoes; 10• per cent carrots, 6 per cent .beets, 4 per cent cabbages, etc. The survey showed that of the 37,811 gardeners in seven cities, 53. per 'cent canned, dried, pickled or conserved piroducts for winter use. Canada's export trade to• Southern Ireland (Eire) is mostly in our favor. During the first :three months of 1944 Canadian. merchandise to the value of $2,012,000 went to Eire as against $41000 in the ,same period of 1943. Our imports.- from that w:ountry, ,thoughe have dropped from $372,277 in, 1940 to $2,383 in the whole of 1943. This year will show some increase in the number of prisoners of war permitted to work on farms. A camp "for between two and three ,hundred is to be established at Cbathaim, Ont., for work' on sugar beet farms, as is' one In the Lethbridge Alberta area.
