A Black Week
In, spite of• the fact that provincial
and municipal authorities through-
out Ontario organized a drive for a
safe and sane holiday on the streets,
roads and.... highways,....it would seem
that far too many motorists paid
scant heed to all the requests and
�iv'a 'nings�
- It -is trite that in the larger cities,
like Toronto, there were no fatalities
on either Christmas Eve or Christ-
mas Day, but there were innumerable
accidents of a minor nature, and not
a few drivers were taken from be-
hind the wheel for drunk driving,
Over the week -end 15 lives . were
snuffed out in Ontario, and seven of
these were the results of motor acci-
dents. And in the case of these sev-
en, the cause would appear to be pure
carelessness.
Speed and failure to stop, look and
listen are the cause of the great ma-
jority of motor accidents, whether
minor, serious or fatal, and until
those failure; are corrected accidents`
will continue to mount. Every one
knows that in holiday traffic special :
safety precautions should be taken,
and yet it would seem as if the
holiday season instilled impatience
rather than caution in the minds of
motorists. They forget ' or entirely
ignore the fact that it would be far
better to arrive at their destination
an hour or a day late, than not ar-
rive at all.
We sincerely hope the New Year
will issue a new order of things. The
old has existed entirely too long.

We Are Used To It
When winter 'drops a mantle of
two, and - often several more feet
of snow on OUT towns, villages
and countryside in this part of the
country, we take it pretty much 'as a
-matter of course, because we are. us-
ed to it. There is impatience express-
ed, of course, but we just hole up for
a day or two 'and no one really suf-
fers. -
It is different in a city like New
York, one of the largest in the world.
And on New York last week fell a -
mantle of snow over two feet deep
on the level, the heaviest snowfall
that city has experienced since the
early eighties. And New York is an
immensely greater city than it was in
those far-off days.
Unlike us, unfortunately, the peo-
ple of that city art unable to hole up
and wait to be dug out. Their holes
are too widely separated, andon the
_
streets of the city they are too far
away from them. Thousands of peo-
ple, who live in the suburbs or near
towns to which they commute daily,
were caught in the city by the unex-
pected and severe storm.
When the Weatherman held up his.
hand, all traffic came to a complete
standstill. Street cars were unable
to run, busses were stalled, private
cars stood bpmper to bumper on
Miles of streets, their owners caught
miles away from homes and even
places of business.
It is next to impossible for any one
in this district, or even Province, to
even imagine the plight ofthose mil-
lions of people in New York when
such -a mantle of snow descended up- •
on them. Or to imagine the cost of
releasing traffic from the snowbound
streets. -::I will .costit is estimated,

Are Women Teachers On The
Way,. Out?
It is only in very`recent years that
school teachers' salaries started to
climb to a..oint where they could
even be considered as receiving some
decent"remuneration for the duties
they perform and the services they,
are expected to give. And even yet,
, wewould say, that the majority of
teachers are grossly underpaid for
the educational qualifications requir-
ed and the personal duties they are
expected to perform..
But even if the new salary heights
are not yet .all they should be, they
have already brought about an in-
teresting sidelight on the balance be-
tween
e
tween men ; and women teachers in
our secQndal yschools.
The number of women on the staffs
has been decreasing, while that of
njen teachers. has been increased • to
the . point in city schools,: at least,
where they excegd'that of women by
nearly two to One.
The Dominion Bureau of Statistics
gives some interesting figures from
twelve representative Canadian cit-
ies: Toronto, 58 men. and 244 wo-
men; Hamilton, 149 men and 73 wo-
men; Ottawa, 125 men and 42 wo-
men; Regina, 75 men and 35 women;
Saskatoon, 85 men and -24 women;
Edmonton, 64 men and 34 women;
Calgary, 66 men and 39 women; Van-
couver,,216 men and 91 women.
These figures, of course, are for
the year 1946, but there is every rea-
son to believe that when the figures
for 1947 are available, they will show
a much greater discrepancy. It is
also interesting ,to note that in the
elementary grades the boys exceed
the girls, -while in the secondary
schools, the girls exceed the boys.
Back in other years when the
teaching -profession consisted- large-
ly of female teachers, we frequently
heard the fear expressed that our
boys were in great danger of losing
their manliness by being under' so
many women teachers. Perhaps now
and in the future there will be a
school -of thought expressingfear of
the effect upon our womanhood be-
cause of the majority of men teach-
ers.
But after all, the good teacher, as
one man said, is the one who suc-
ceeds in getting under the skull of
their pupils with an appreciation of
what is fine and altogether worth
while in literature. So does it mat-
ter whether that one be man or wo-
man?

Speaking before the Civil Service
Assembly of the United States and
Canada, held in Dallas, Texas, last
month, Henry F. Hubbard, Washing-°
ton, Executive VicerChairman of the
Federal Personnel Council, told the
400 delegates assembled that the
number of ,civil servants of the Unit-
ed States Government had decreas-
ed from a peak of 3,770,000 in mid -
1945, to 2,000,000 at the present
time.
He also told the assembly that the
current civil service pay roll aver-
aged $500,000,000 a month.
Canada has a long way to go be-
fore its Civil Service population
reaches that of its southern cousin,
or to the point where the same *ill
cost half a billion dollars a month
but it is travelling very fast.

Item For Farmers ,
(From The Ottawa Journal)
Those who persist in demanding
reimposition of price controls to "re-
duce the cost of living" invariably
place food at the top of the, list of
things they want to see controlled
again. Even Mr. ColdwelI, the C.C.F.
leader, did this in the Commons, well
knowing- of course that it would be
impossible to controlfood prices in
Canada again without controlling al-
most everything else. Such state-
ments focus public attention on food,
make people think that it, would be
possible to reduce food prices with-
out at the same time reducing wages
and the cost of capital I•�tal g ioods.

Meat Output in 1948
Total meat production in Canada
in 1947 was about two; billion pounds,
of
whichqin round figures 900 million
pounds are beef, 820 million pounds
pork, 136 million pounds were veal
and 53 million pounds mutton and
lamb. This output was down about
six per cent compared with 1946- Ex-
port shipments of meat declined 27
per cent in 1947 from 1946, but were
high in comparison with . pre-war
years- Practica.11y all of the carcass
meats were shipped to the United
Kingdom while most of the eanp.ed
meats went to European countries.

Terms of U. K. Wheat Agreement
Canadian wheat is presently being
supplied to the United Kingdom at
$1.55 per bushel plus 3% cents car-
rying chain • s for No. 1 Northern,
basis, Fort William, Under the pro-
visions of the second year of the
United Kingdom wheat agreement in
1947-48. is 169 million bushels in the
form of wheat and wheat flour. The
price of wheat for use in Canada is
still under • control and is currently
1.581 per bushel No. 1 Northern. in-
cluding 3% cents carrying charges.
Wheat prices to countrthaaether than

Principal Causes of Fires on Farms
Of the 8,009 farm fires estimated
by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics
to have occurred in the 12 months
ended June, 1917, about 3,000 origin-
ated
riginated in the farm house, 3,604 in barns
and outbuildings, and the exact place
of origin of 1,400 could not be determ-
ined.
Defective chimneys and flues were

Bad Injuries From Farm Accidents
An analysis of the nature of injur-
ies occurring on Canadian farms
made by the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics in its survey of farm acci-
dents during the 12 months ended
June 1, 1947; indicates that about half
of the, estimated 37,200 accidents were
sufficiently serious to involve layoffs
from work of over three weeks. It
is estimated that 2,500 accidents caus-
ed partial or permanent disability.
Among the more serious injuries
were fractures of arms and legs, and
even of skull, spine and backbone.
Head injuries were frequent,'and sev-
ere cuts and other injuries of that
type which resulted in open wounds,
ranked high. Less serious accidents
caused sprains and strains, severe
bruising without open wounds, and
burns and scalds.
Nearly 5,000 accidents were un-
classified but included internal Injur-
ies, severe burns, injuries to nerves
and spinal cord„ and effects of weather
and exposure.
Meal Mixtures Make Bacon
Of the several, swine feeding ex-
periments recently conducted by the
Animal Husbandry Division, Domin-
ion Experimental Farms Service, two
of them concerned meal mixtures
suitable for baeon production when
used in the self -feeder. One of them'
involved al comparison of high bar-
ley and high oats for self feeding and
the effect of following one grain by
the other in the growing and finish-
ing periods. One lot of pigs was fed
high barley in both periods; a second
lot, high barley in the growing per-
iod up to 100 pounds; a third lot, high
oats followed by high barley; and a
fourth lot was fed high oats in both
periods.
There was some stimulus to growth
in, the two lots where there was a
change over from high barley to high>
oats and from high oats •to thigh bar-
ley. However, there was practically
no difference in the efficiency of the
various rations as measured by feed
consumed per 100 pounds gain or 100
pounds carcass gain. The various
'kation • produced only •slight differ-
ences in carcass quality; the best caro,
ceases resulting from high oats fol-
lowed by high barley. These car-
cases were somewhat superior in
length, belly grade anti loin.
In the second experiment the pigs
were self -fed the sanib .grain mixture
from etart to finish. In the three lots
oats constituted 30, 40, 50 per cent
of the grains, respectively; wheat! was
held stationary at 20 per,.eent, and
barley made -up the remainder, Both
