A Possibility Demands Investigation During the past week a project of stances all his remarks centre around Mr. A. H. ,Wilford, who needs no in- Blyth, He rightly remarks to the edi- 'reduction to this community, has re- cc'ved widespread publicity via news- paper (daily and weekly), radio, and television. We refer to his efforts to have the rutabaga (turnip) which is more wide- ly-and ide- lyand successfully grown in the int - mediate Blyth arca than anywhere 'else in Ontario,' produced in canned form, ready for use by the housewife during any time of the twelve months of the year. Mr. Wilford's efforts have been re- warded to the extent that a sample of canned rutabaga has been presented to the Dominion government for cer- tification under the pure food laws. He also has presented the canned sample of the rutabaga to various growers throughout this urea, and had a sample with him around town last week. The sample was diced and cooked, ready for the housewife to heat and serve just, as she would so many oth- er varieties of canned goods these days. The editor sampled it and found it quite palatable and natural in flavour, and we could see no reason why it wouldn't taste exactly the same when 'served as thousands of others which have been prepared by the housewife, The possibility of successfully can. ning the product has tremendous pos• sibilities for increasing the market of producers. Besides the canning process, Mr,, Wilford informs us that there are ninny other unexplored avenues open to the use of the lowly turnip. This may sound far-fetched to the more skeptical, but we venture the suggestion that when the tomato was first looked on in the same light, there were also skeptics who scoffed at the ' ssibilit(es of it becoming the house lThld commodity it is today it its var- toes canned and bottled forms. Mr. Wilford hag gone throughout the length and breadth of this prow• ince, and even farther, - telling the people whom he contacts about Blyth Brand Rutabagas, at the same time promoting his interests in the West- ern Ontario Trade Fair, In both in• tor of The Standard that there are hundreds of people who now knot." the name of Blyth that never heard of our village before he commenced his work some four years ago. The Standard cannot help but won- der if we who live here, and who are vitally interested in Blyth, are doing anything by way of offering encour- agement to him. Mr. Wilford has pretty well estab- lished Blyth as the rutabaga centre o; Ontario. Mr. Russell Dougherty, who has established a reputation as one of the fittest processors of the vegetable in Ontario, has helped him tremen- dously by producing such a product. Are we missing a bet by not getting down to cases and discussing the pos- sibilities there are in this canning pro- cess. Since the publicity • received on his progress last week, other com- munities have been, and still are, ap- proaching him and asking for informa- tion and even advancing reasons why any such development should be plat• ed in their centre. The farmers in this district grow the best rutabagas in the province. We already have a local firm which bus gained in international reputation as the best processor of the vegetablo in the province. We have the inside track. on the feelings of the man who has worked so diligently to bring the possibilities of the canned rutabaga to the attention of the authorities. If there is .any possibilities of the development of the product, why in the world shouldn't the development take place right here in Blyth. • As municipal officials, businessmen, and citizens, we should be at least enquiring about these possibilities. Wo all, along with every other community in Huron County, howl our heads off for industry. We might have pocsi• bilitles of it development in our midst that would conte right from the roots of our soil fend in so doing benefit ev eryone.

DISTRAUGHT' HE IS NOT ALONE * Regularly, such letters pass • through my desk. A man Is * content with his marriage and • takes it for granted that his * wife is, too. Absorbed in his • career, he notices no change * in her, and when she admits • she is not entirely happy, he * is shocked and frightened. o How blind can husbands be? * Some observers contend * that the first five years of * marriage are the most trying; * if a couple survive them satis- * factoritly, their future is prac- * tically secure, But couples do * not get bored with marriage. • When either husband or wife * senses he or she is being * taken for granted, rebellion * arises deep within, and all the * efforts they have made to keep * the other happy seem fruit- * less. They both want the se- * curity of being loved, they * crave unrelaxing attention, * the certainty that in any major * disagreement each -can de- * pend upon understanding and * compromise. In other words, * they want to trust each other, to depend upon mutual in- tegrity and the common de- termination to go ahead to- gether. If marriage really is until death do them part, all of these qualities are essen- tial. So when boredom sets in, wives grow frantic saying their husbands have changed and they cannot say why; husbands sometimes seek new thrills in extra -marital diver- tisements, and both are pri- vately shocked that their marriage needs a shot in the arm to survive. Your wife is one of many women who have become dis- satisfied, She has been honest with you, though; other * women might sulk and hug • their discontent to their * bosom, but she has enough * courage to confess how she feels. She has suggested the + one remedy that she• hopes will work, a short absence that will give her the pers- pective to evaluate how much her marriage means to her. In my opinion, she should haee that opportunity; if you deny it she may accede with- out reproach, but she cannot help feeling cheated. I hope you will consent, and with no reservations. No matter how the experience turns out, she will be grateful for your un- derstanding. Based on hundreds of such crises, I believe that a little respite from her wifely re- sponsibilities will convince her that it is with you she be- longs; she will probably re- turn with her spirit refreshed and a new appreciation of all that your love and companion- ship mean to her.

That is the only answer, Grahame's seven-year- old son liked his father's bed- time stories so much that when holiday time came round he re- fused to leave home until his father promised to keep him posted on the doings of Toad by mail, Out of those letters' grew one of the English-speak- ing world's best beloved books. Later — after "Dream Days" and "The Golden Age" — when Grahame no longer had this special audience, he told an in- terviewer he would rather spend the hours he consumed on a difficult paragraph enjoy- ing the actualities of nature for himself. He didn't need money. He didn't want fame. And so the world would not get another book — not for what most peo- ple would call a fortune. •So — thank you, young man.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders The Royal Bank. of Canada James Muir warns against pace of consumer buying and tightness of markets in commodities and labour Canada can ill, afford luxury of group or sectional , parochialism. Diverse climates, cultures and economic interests present opportunities as well as problems in achieving national unity. Some . of the more pressing problems confronting Canada in 1956 were reviewed by James Muir, Chairman and President of Te Royal Bank of Canada, in his annual address at the An- nual Meeting of Shareholders held 'on Jan. 12 at Head Office. One of the more important of i these he felt was the new n- flaticnary pressure built up dur- ing the boom which character- ized 1955, While admitting there may be some difference of opin- ion on the seriousness of the threat posed by the boom, he believed there "are definite danger signs, not so much in prices as in the frantic pace of consumer buying, business ex- pansion, and the general tight- ness of markets in both commodi- ties find labour. No modern banker will, deny the efficacy of wise central bank policy in curbing inflation," he said. "Indeed, experience shows that monetary policy is more effective against inflation than against deflation. But there are dangers. As I have already pointed out, the policy may go too far. It may also be unselec- tive, curbing healthy as well es unhealthy or excessive built credit, " In addition, certain. types of credit, and these by no means the least inflationary, lie almost entirely outside .thechar- tered banking system. I should like' to nominate two candidates and possibly .three for the at- tention of those charged with devising and administering credit control on a selective basis: consumer credit; term loans by banks; and (with cau- tion) mortgage credit, PROBLEMS OF CREDIT "Consumer credit, or 'buying on time' is an 'essential part of our modern economy. But, like all good things, It can be carried to extremes For the individual, to live in constant heavy' debt is to live in bondage; and the burden: of debt is usually the greatest &f1' those who can afford it least: viz., those who need or are , attracted by 'no down pay- ment' offers. For the economy as a whole, consumer credit re- sults in the production and sale of durable goods (a form of long-term investment by, the Consumer) without at the same time a corresponding act of sav- ing. There need be no harm in this provided the consumer loan is itself financed out of saving — the consumer then borrows in order to spread his own saving over time• But if a great rise in consumer loans i s financed through bank credit expansion we have an expansion not of short - term, self - liquidating ' credit but a long-term loan paid back only over a long period, and a consequent expansion of the money supply. "Term loans by banks to cor- porations and the purchase by banks of corporate serial bond issues are similar in effect to an exprnsion of bank -financed con- sumer .credit, and may be more serious in that' the repayment , period may, be longer. "Mortgage loans by banks are a departure; :from traditional short-term;'e h:p n k financing. Long-term ;invdetment, this time in a home, is financed without a corresponding act of saving. As a device for expanding home own- ing during a period of relatively slack trade, the NHA programme had many, virtues, But with a return to normal conditions, and later with a reappearance of in- • flationar•y pressure, continued mortgage lending by ,banks, to- gether with the other inflation- ary forces, undnubtedlv made a contrihutien to instabilityin the eronomy," NEW "BUILT-IN STABILIZER" FOR FUTURE BUDGETS "In all the excitement over the switch to deficit financ- ing," said Mr. Muir,"one ex- tremely, important ecision in the realm of fiscal policy went almost unnoticed by the gen- eral public, This decision is all the more important be- cause, unless or until revers- ed, it will presumably deter- mine the overall pattern of federal budgeting for years to come. "In his budget speech of April 5, 1955, the Minister of Fin- ance said; 'I propose to recommend to • the house a tax policy and a tax structure that .would produce a balanced budget under' conditions which rep- resent a high level of• out- put and employment.' 'Now a high level of output and employment is reflected in the figure that measures the gross value of our na- tional production over the year. The new tax policy and tax structure referred to by the Minister of Finance is geared to this gross national product in such a way that if in any year the product falls below a certain ideal level,, there will be an automatic budget deficit, If the national product rises above this level, there will be an automntic surplus. And the ideallevel of gross national product is apparently defined as the level that would have obtain- ed had employment and the -rate of growth of the economy been "normal" 'every year since the base year 1953. It may be open to question whether this kind of built-in stabilizer will prove suffi- ciently strong to produce the desired effect. It may prove too passive to meet the crises that lie ahead. It may well be that the automatic princi- ple was adopted as a device to ensure that fiscal policy would at least not make things worse; that it would at least be a neutral factor in the short run. Meanwhile, monetary policy with its greatly ' superior flexibility. could be relied upon to take care of short swings in busi- ness activity and employment, leaving longer run prcblems of economic development and growth to the necessarily slower adjustments through annual r ev i s i o n s of the budget." Mr. Muir •noted that.the three varieties of credit over -expan- sion • might soon become less serious, due . to natural causes and to the effect of policies now in force. Home building and construction in general would be effected by seasonal factors; term loans by banks' and the purchase Of corporate securities were no longer practicable un- der present monetary ' policy and 'control of consumer credit does not lie primarily, in the field of banking. . War and post-war experience have shown that this can be most effectively handled by regulation at the retail level, with . good' will and co-operation between those who extend the credit and the control authori- ties. There should be nothing,' therefore, inthese three varieties , of credit over-extension that a • little 'common sense, restraint, • and co-operation cannot quickly cure," ' CANADIAN UNITY While sound economic policy was ''a factor in achieving Love Tokens Love tokens are coming back into fashion, • report some Lon- don jewellers. More and more teenagers .are buying lockets for their sweethearts. Even the very old-fashioned type, with a lock of the loved -one's hair on. one side and a tiny photograph on the other, is returning to pop- ularity. This news would have pleased our great-grandparents who lav- ed wearing love -charms and' to- kens and believed that they en- sured wedding bliss and warded off danger, But great -grandma would probably have been shocked to hear that some American Ser- vicemen who have done a spell of duty in Britain have recently been giving their U.S, girl friends . policemen's old helmets as love -tokens. Police. forces which have dis- carded the helmets have raised no objection to the sales, pro- vided the badges are removed. One of 'the strangest love 0 - kens was that carried by a young Italian wherever he_ travelled in Europe; It was a tear -stained piliow sent to him by a girl whose father had forbidden her to marry him. When the pair later 'eloped, they took the, .pil- low with them to .theirhoney- moon hotel. They say they will treasure it for the rest ef.their lives. At the wedding *1 a pretty Chinese girl in London, in 1954, the bride carried a teddy bear, a love -token given to her by her fiance when they became engaged, GOOD BOOS He had been billed as a conle- dlan at the local amateur vari- ety concert, but his turn wasn't at all funny. It wasso bad that the audience began to bee Klin as heleft the stage. Undaunted, he was about to ' return to take a bow*, when the stagemanager stopped him. "Listen to the booing," he said, "But I can hear some chap- ping among the booing;' said the determined amateur. "Yes,i1 retorted the exaspet- ated manager, "but that's for the booing," ISSUE 4 — 1956 TOTAL DEPOSITS HAVE NOW PASSED $3 BILLION MARK K. M. Sedgewick, General Manager, noted that not only had the assets of the Royal Ron reached the imposing total of $3- 284,143,865, but that deposits had passed the $3 billion . mark,a new High point in Canaian ,banking history. .'"Ten years ago our deposits were $1,888,757,- 074, approximately 61% of to- day's figure, whereas then our depositors numbered 1,555,359 as compared with 2,557,909 at the present time," The bank's liquid position he noted, contin- ued strong, total quick assets of $1,918749,579 representing 61.24% of the bank's liabilities to the public. "Our Rest Ac- count has been increased to $1081000,000 which with paid-up Capital of $42,000,000 and the undivided profits balance of $918,000 odd means that the bank now has at use Capital funds of close to $151,000,000.' This is a very strong position indeed," Mr. SedgewIek 'noted that 'NHA Mortgage Loans, made by the Royal Bank, now total $100,- 865,965 as compared with $22,- 672,390 the year before. "Other current loans also have shown expansion in line with the higher general business. activity and • the total at $1,168,559,855 shows an increase of more than $137,000,- 000 in the twelve -Month period under review, We are now, in common with the other banks, co-operating with the Govern- • ment and the Bank of Canada in carrying out a policy of credit restriction designed to prevent inflationary pressures. It is im- portant that the timing of any variation in such a policy should coincide accurately with chang- ing conditions within the econ- omy." Mr. Sedgewick also discussed the bank's extensive building and renovation programme, In addition to alterations and im- provements to existing premises 39 new branches were opened in Canada in 1955 and 23 new buildings, for opening this year or later, are under construction. Branches now total 851, of which 74 are abroad. ROYAL BANK ABROAD The bank will also . nccupy new a n d more commodious premises in Rio de Janeiro short- ly and consideration is being given to further expansion in the Carribbean area. Since the bank began operations abroad nearly 60 years ago, said Mr. Sedge - wick, the local staff had been encouraged to aspire to senior positions and this, he felt, had been a major factor In the suc- cess of the bank's foreign oper- ations, There was, he said, a need for Canadians in the bank's foreign .service and as a conse- quence 'splendid opportunities existed in the Royal Bank's foreign branches for any' Can- adian young man interested in a satisfying and sucessful career in international banking. Mr. Sedgewick paid a high tribute to the bank's staff, which now numbers well over 14,500.

"The very diversity of regional, cul- tural, and 'occupational interests , in Canada 'that creates and ag- gravates our problem makes unity an even richer prize than would otherwise be the case,'!. he concluded. "Ours will be a unity in -diversity, with the attendant opportunity to take fullest .ad- vantage of the divislon 01 labour, itself a product of diversity in culture, in individual talent' and skill,' in group interest and ac- tivity.

I expected I might be dis- turbing 'a hornet's nest but so far only one letter of protest has come my way, Does that mean that farm readers are not interested in this plan? The writer of the one letter received gives me all the details about the spade work that was done by the Federation of Agriculture es far back as 1943. She assumes - quite wrongly -the I had -either forgotten or was ignorant of the fact that the OFA had always done every- thing possible to implement a National Health Plan. That I know, but after all their time and trouble, what did we get? Certainly not a National Health .. Plan. For one reason the time was not yet ripe, Active interest did result in ‚the formation of Co-operative edical Services, The Women's Institutes were also busy, and in- this country at least, were responsible for the establishment of a County Health Unit. But that is a tar cry from a National Health Plan, The point 1 wanted to make clear - but in that I ap- parently failed -was that NOW is the psychological moment for 'farm groups to get busy look- ing into the working mechanics of the Proposed Health Plan be - tore it comes into force, 'o make sure that farm people get a square deal - that the Farm- er is not the Forgotten Man. "There is a tide in the affairs of man which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune". That ap- plies to a Health Plan just as much as to a person. Not everyone can take an ac - lice part in farm organizations but every person can take suf- ficient interest to keep inform- ed on what is being done on his or her behalf. We shall be watching with interest the re- action of farm ,groups when more details of the Federal - Provincial Health -Plan are made known, Maybe when details are com- plete for health plans for hu- mans we might star thinking about a health plan for live- stock' A grade cow isn't worth much these days so that if she gets sick a farmer can pay out half her value in 'vet' bills and medicine, 461-1 rij uccs3wc trcti t onj moc.crution Tues it ciar the Pouse Meir who think M-1 ul Richrc gram. , 0111011'o20 practice moderation today 'In the meantime fanners have another little matter to worry over. We already have huge surpluses of wheat on, hand so it doesn't comfort us at all to learn that Great Britain has developed a new typo of hard wheat - "Koga Two" that topped Canadian varieties at our own Royal Winter Fair. Ac- cording to press reports farm- ers in the United Kingdom ex- pect, to grow enough of this wheat for the current crop year to save about $10,000,000 in im- ports of hard wheat from Canada.

Since he got hit by a car, and had his leg broken as a result, he won't go near the road at all -for which we are very thank- ful. lie follows Partner all over the place but if Partner heads for the road Rusty turns tail and comes home. Yesterday he did something very bad - but cute, just. the same, 1 had left a glass of milk on the kitchen cabinet for Partner. Rusty came along, put his two front feel on the cabinet and helped himself to the glass of milk without ever spilling the milk of break- ing the glass. We might never have known what happened if Partner hadn't caught him in the act. Rusty is still only about a year old. Such a big dog and yet just an overgrown puppy. He has the craziest way of flop- ping himself around partly be- cause, since his leg was broken, he can't sit naturally on his hind end, so he sprawls either on one side or the other. Robbie is just the opposite. He sleeps down the cellar now and with his little short legs he has quite a time getting up and down the cellar stairs, as they are quite' steep, But it wasn't long before - either by thought or instinct - he learnt to take a run from halfway across the cellar. So now he is almost up the stairs before he knows it - just like a horse getting up speed to jump a fence. How many readers, 1 wonder, had a Christmas cactus in bloom for the festive season.

James Aran learnt to play chess in a country well. known for its serious study of . the game -Russia. But the circum- stances in which his initiation took place weren't happy ones. Nor were the chessmen he used the beautifully carved figures that are sometimes played with, His introduction to the game happened during the war while he was held prisoner by the Russians. Allan's instructor, a fellow prisoner hailing from Samarkand, undertook the role of teacher, and the chessmen their meagre bread ration. This bread was ideal for the pur- pose -it set like a tock after three days. Moulded into the various shapes of kings, queens, bishops, knights and pawns, it was left to harden. Colouring for the white pieces was supplied by whitewash scraped off walls with finger -nails, burnt match- sticks provided the black col- ouring for opposing pieces. Even to this day, writes,James Allan, D.C.M., in an inspiring and moving account of his grim - adventures while in Russian hands, "No Citation", he finds himself calling "Shakh!" instead of "Check!" Making slow progress from a leg wound, Allan, a lance -cor- poral in the Military Police, was captured by the Germans in a British military hospital shortly before Dunkirk. A daring and hazardous escape across Ger- many to neutral Russian terri- tory didn't bring him the free- dom he sought. He was prompt- ly clapped into prison -a suc- cession of prisons. In 'one prison, he, with sev- eral others, decided on a hung- er strike in an attempt to im- prove their lot, Later came the ineviable interrogation. During the inquiry a woman interpreter suddenly snapped: "Who was the first to go on hunger strike?" Undaunted, Allan re- plied: "Sylvia Pankhurst, and Gandhi had a_ go at it, too." Followed a furious shuffling of papers, frowns from the in- terrogator, frustrated searching, and finally an inquiry from the interpreter: "Pankhurst, hose do you spell that?" The fact that Allan, before entering the C.M.P. had been in the Scota Guards, was the cause of yet another bawling out at the hands of his captors. De- tails of service were entered in his papers, and the interrogator demanded to know for what reason Scotland Yard and M.I. 5, had arranged his entry into Russian territory. Allan, flabbergasted, denied all knowledge of any link with either organization. Quite a stormy interchange of views took place before he realized that his questioners had formed a strong tie-up between the Scots Guards and Scotland Yard. Paradoxically enough James Allen owed his eventual release to Hitler. Germany's invasion of Russia turned that country from a deeply -suspicious neutral into a powerful ally. The wheels of officialdom began to grind slowly, and at long last James Allan was released and returned to England with the first Allied Mission to Moscow, under the leadership of Lord Beaverbrook and Mr. Avercll Harriman,' In late 1941. His award of the Distinguish- ed Conduct Medal was made without citation.

Kelly, General Man- ager. "The selection and the crown- ing of the 'Outdoors Girl of Canada' will be of particular interest to fish and game and to conservation clubs across Canada as candidates for the title must be nominated by such clubs," Mr. Kelly said. The competition, he pointed out, is not a beauty contest al- though feminine pulchritude will not be overlooked by the judges. The winner will be chosen on the basis of appear- ance, personality and on suit- ability to be classified as an outdoors girl. ,Candidates must be participants in some form of outdoor sport, athletics or recreational pursuit but profes- sional athletes and models are not eligible. Any fish and game or con- servation club in any province of Canada can submit nomina- tions and candidates do not necessarily have to be mem- bers of their nominating clubs. Closing date for entries is Feb- ruary 21. This unique competition is being sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Anglers' and Hunters Incorporated in con- junction with the Canadian Na- tional Sportsmen's Show. The winner will receive a $500 Do- minion of Canada Savings Bond. Other features of the 1956 Canadian National Sportsmen's Show will include Canada's largest boat and marine show, an International motor show, bowling competitions, a photo- graphic, fair, a Canadian crib- bage championship, three dog shows and numerous other at- tractions.

A check has been made in this regard and we are happy to state that all other printed mediums, do not even compare with the cov- erage given this area by The Standard. This knowledge made us very happy, and we felt we should pass the word along for the benefit of those who are in the everyday selling market, and who do not at all, or else half-heartedly, use the advertising columns of The Standard, to bring to' the attention of the public the fact that they are in a particular business. Too n ich time cannot be spent in preparing advertising messages for the buying public. The customers will, and do. find their way ,to the place of business that consistently advertises, and by so doing, extends to them an invitation to shop at their store. The one newspaper an which this can be done most successfully is The Standard so far as your own personal promotion efforts are concerned. Advertisers would do well to keep this fact in their minds and follow up by spending more time on weekly preparation of their advertisement, so that it can be presented to the public in an attrac- tive form, just the same as you spend time in lay- ing out your store to the best advantage. Consistent advertising pays - and there is no . other medium available that gives the coverage of _ prospective buyers as that presently enjoyed by your local paper. THE BLYTH STANDARD T P when School Bus STOP Of interest to car owners, not only locally, but throughout the province, Is a new law regarding school buses on the roads, which comes into ef- fect on February 1st, which requires all motorists in Ontario to come to a halt behind school buses receiving or discharging students, Several amendments were written in- to the Highway Traffic Act last year following their introduction in the On- tario Legislature by Highways Minis. ter Allan, but others mentioned, in- cluding school buses, were not effec- tive until after February 1st, The specific amendment, section 41-B subsection 1, of the Ontario Highway Traffic Act, provides a "general pen- alty"—usually $10 and costs—against a motorist convicted of an infraction against the section dealing with school .buses, The H'I'A stipulates that all' motor• fists, following a school bus, must come to a complete stop when the bus Is halted to discharge or receive stud- ents. The bus, the net says, also must be used exclusively for transportation of children to and from school. The amendment was offered in the Legislature as still another means to- ward reducing Ontario's highway traf- fic toll, Ontario Provincial Police, meanwhile, continued their concentrat- ed highway safety program including compulsory roadblocks for mechanical checks and speedertraps. Local school buses out of Blyth have complied with the necessary regu- lations to bear this sign; "Do not pass when bus is stopped." Motorists be- hind the bus will not be allowed to proceed until ;he bus resumes mot- ion, or unless they receive a signal from the bus driver to proceed. Another amendment, which became law on January 1, made It compulsory for all new cars sold by dealers in On- tario to be equipped with directional signaling devices. But after July 1 this year all vehic- les in excess of 00 inches width, and 20 feet in length, will be required to have these directional signals, This would include most of the expensive, larger cars and commercial vehicles built before or after January 1st. An amendment to the Highway Traffic Act which becomes effective February 1, 1956, makes it an offence to pass a stopped school bus. ON AND AFTER FEBRUARY 1st when a motorist overtakes a school bus which • is marked on the rear SCHOOL BUS DO NOT PASS WHEN BUS 'IS STOPPED and Red, Rear, Flashing Lights are operating and • is stopped upon a highway outside a city, town, village, police village or built-up area for the purpose of receiv- ing or discharging school children he shall STOP his vehicle and SHALL NOT PROCEED until • the school bus resumes notion or .• the driver of the school bus signals him to proceed or • the flashing signals aro no longer actuated.

Chart of Common Childhood Ills The following charts, which will be printed from time to time, deal with some of the all- ments which especially threaten children and how you .can rec- ognize their early symptoms. They were compiled by Dr. Jago Galdstdn, of . The Bureau of Medical Information, New York Academy of Medicine and were first published in "Better Liv - Ing" Diphtheria What's Involved: A contagious infection gen- erally of the respiratory tract; caused by diphtheria bacilli (bacteria). When To Suspect It: Sore throat. Fever. Head- ache. White patches inside throat and nose. Occasionally, nose- bleed or a thin pinkish nasal discharge.

Prescribe various antibiotics and other medication, such as corti- sone or glucose administered intravenously, as needed, Duration: 1 week, in bed while fever lasts. Disease iscontagious for about 7 days or until 3 consecu- tive cultures are negative. Possible Complications: If treatment is delayed, heart disorders, swollen glands, kid- ney disturbances and choking from obstruction in larynx. How To Prevent It: Diphtheria "shots" infancy with boosters as recommended by your doctor. Avoid contact with infected persons. If an im- munized child is exposed, con- sult your doctor about the ad- visability of a booster shot. If a child who has not been im- munized is exposed, consult your doctor about giving anti- biotics and antitoxin to ward off the disease. * • Meningitis What's Involved: A contagious inflammation of the membrane enclosing the spinal cord and brain; caused by any one of a variety of bac- teria or viruses. When To Suspect It: Headache, lligh fever, Vomit- ing. Stiffness of neck and back muscles. Sometimes, severe chills, convulsions, What You Can Do: Call your doctor.

Meningitis, How To Prevent it: Avoid contact with infected persons. But most doctors agree that whenever possible chil- dren, especially, boys, should have this disease before puber- ty and thus acquire permanent immunity, If your child is ex- posed, check immediately with your doctor about giving mumps vaccine to all adults in your home who have not previously bad the disease (this affords temporary_ immunity only). Ex- posed children seriously il1 for some other reason may be given gamma globulin injections or mumps convalescent serum to ensure a milder case. • * • • Patio IVhat's involved: An inflammation of certain ' nerve cells in the central ner- vous system; caused by a virus.

If You Have Tears! When patients visit Dr. Rob- ert Brunish he has them all in tears. For Dr. Brunish, of the Los Angeles Medical Centre, col- lects tears. Although Los Angeles is reasonably near Hollywood, the glycerine variety just won't do, He wants real tears—and plenty of them, His research work is aimed qt finding the specially irritant -substance or substances in smog that make the eyes water, Tears are not just drops a' salt water. Tear fluid is a solu- tion of several different sub- stances—and it varies according to the kind of tears. Tears for pain or grief are believed .to be chemically different from tears caused by peeling onions. Dr. Brunish's research idea is that studying this difference be- tween emotional and irritant tears may help to find out more about the substances in smog that affects the eyes, So far he has had no diffi- culty in getting tears from chil- dren. I -Ie has been able to col- lect plenty from his own family and from children's ward pa- tients, But emotional tears from adults cannot be obtained at all readily, not even in the cause of science. Apparently there aren't as many people about nowadays who can "turn on the tap." Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. Is It ever proper to ask for a4 second helping of food at the table? A. At a very informal meal where much of the food is al- ready on the table, it's perfect- ly all right to ask . for a second helping by saying, "May I please have some more potatoes?" Don't forget your 'thank you" when it has been passed to you —and remember, no, boarding- house reaches! Q. Is it proper for the bride- groom -elect to be present at - a shower for his fiancee? A. No, it isn't. He may, how- ever, appear at the end of the party to help his fiancee home with her gifts, Q. Should a girl smoke her own cigarettes . when going out with a young man, or, should she smoke his? A. Either way is correct, Q. If you have entertained an out-of-town guest and you re- ceive a note from her telling you how much she enjoyed her vlsit,_ is it necessary for you to reply? A. This would be much bet- ter than ignoring the letter. Your guest will appreciate learning that you, too, enjoyed the visit and that you are looking for- ward to seeing her again. Q. Is it required that a woman wear a hat when she goes to a restaurant during the day? A. Most authorities seem to think it looks much better if she wears a hat. Q. How close to the edge of the table should the silverware be placed?, . A. The ends of the handles should be placed about an inch from the table edge. Q. Where should one's return address be properly placed on the envelope of a letter? A. The preferred position is in the upper lefthand corner of the face of the envelope, al- though when the , envelope is too small, the return address is sometimes written on the back. Q. I am a widow who is going to be married for the second time. Would it be proper for my daughter to serve as my maid - of -honour and in son to give me away? • A. This is not only proper, but very .nice, too. It would indicate your children's approval of your remarrying. .

HE'S A BIG BARGAIN—Hannibal, 14 -month-old, 550 -pound holiday special, has been - marked down from $7800 to $4995 at a department store in Philadelphia. Store officials say the buyer could - be the only private owner' of an elephant in - the United States. They add that Hannibal could spray flowers or push heave furniture, Of course, he eats $42 worth of food every week, The bargain "pet" is shown above taking a carrot from Reeves Wetherill, public relations man for the store, , TllHMNFROT Jokaussea Important consideration in brooding chicks include such things as cost of fuel, fire haz- ard and efficiency • of operation. Where individual brooder stoves are used which burn wood, . coel,,i oil; or gas, some chance of fire.' exists, although modern oil"and gas brooders do have valuable safety features. For this reason many operators consider;. it wise to use brooder stoves • :only in colony houses. Thus if fire should start it can be usually confinedto one small house and • the loss is not too serious.' Large operators, how- ever, find that, labour efficiency is reduced 'with, this type of brooding because automatic wat- ering systems cannot be easily installed in - colony houses and more labour is required for several small units than for a large one. A large brooder house can be, heated with a central heating plant, The extra initial cost over several small units is likely to be more than repaid in a . few years by savings in fuel and. 'labour. The risk of fire involved in brooding can be practically, eliminated by proper installa- tion of the central heating plant in a fire resisting section -of the building. Electric brooders of various types have become popular with small or medium size producers. One type, in which soil heating cable is embedded in. the con- crete floor, has been used at the ' Experimental Farm, Fredericton, N,B., since 1949. This method of brooding is very convenient and gives satisfactory results but the cost where the entire floor area is heated, is likely to be, high. Electricity required for one hatch using this type of brood, ing, has varied between 4 k.w.h. per square foot for mid -winter brooding. Commercial broiler growers usually allow one square foot of floor spaceper chick. With this method, it would be necessary .to brood two or more chicks per square foot of floor space .for the• first two to three weeks, in order to 'keep. costs •.Withinreasonable limits, After this period the chicks do not.. require so much "YES, WE HAVE NO . . .

Results of a survey conducted in the United States indicate that the average cost of fuel was slightly over five cents per. chick with chicks started in De— camber, The tests were' taken in various parts of the country with different types of brooders. Satisfactory results can be obtained with many different methods of brooding. Cost of equipment and 'cost and con- venience, of operation with con- sideration of the fit'e hazard in- volved, are likely to be the deciding. factors in the method selected. ' • f • Loss of iodine in salt blocks exposed to the weather can be, avoided when potassium iodate is. used as a source of "iodine. This was demonstrated in 1951 by Dr. Watson and Mr. David- son, chemists With. the Canada Department of Agriculture,' and their recommendations have now been given official' sanction under the Food and Drug reg- ulations, Iodine is required by live- stock, as • it is by humans, to prevent , goitre and other, ills, attendant on diseases of the thyroid gland. . When pigs, • calves or foals are born .dead,'. or weak and hairless, iodine de- ficiency in the maternal diet is immediately suspected, For this reason iodine as . potassium iodide is included . inthe salt. This is quite satisfactory for table salt which is kept dry, but not ' for livestock as an iodized salt block exposed to the weather or left in a manger will lose its iodine fairly rapidly. Efforts have, been made to stabilize the iodine in sale blocks by coating them with fatty materials, photographer's hypo, and even molasses, with no real success. Blocks exposed for two months under summer pasture conditions lost all their iodine in spite of such, treat- ments, Two compounds containing an available source of iodine proved relatively stable under both stall ' and summerpasture con- ditions, One of them, potassium iodate, proved to be cheaper than the other. Salt blocks were. made up . to contain 0.015 per. cent, and 0.50. per cent ' iodine, and tested by, the Department's . animal pathologists who, gave .the iodate a clean billof health. Permission to use potassium iodate has. now' been' granted by Food and Drug officials and when salt blockscontaining this compound • are produced com- mercially, farmers can be asp sured of a stable source of iodine for their livestock, e • Ferguson 'a new tomato va- riety produced by the Horticul- tural Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, Canada Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, is especiallysuited to the needs of canning crop growers in On- tario.

Rutgers ' was made at Ot- tawa in 1941 although • the first selections, were not made from this cross until 1946. Of these selections, one showed parti- cular promise rand in 1949 was assigned the ' trial distribution number Ottawa TO -17. This selection later named Ferguson, has been grown for five seasons in yield trials at the Horticul- tural Substation at Smithfield, Ontario. Each year it has been one of the top yielding varieties, and each year has given better yields and has consistently shown less fruit cracking and sunscald than Geneva John Baer. In 1954 and 1955 'extensive commercial plantings were made. by a number of Ontario grow- ers. In general the reactions of both growers and processors have been favourable, ,and it ap- pears that the Ferguson variety should be of real value to the industry.

The transportation industry as a whole, both ,in .Canada and .the United ' States, 'stepped up its level of activity to meet the di- versified demands of: a prosper- ous- and optimistic economy., The, increase in • the volume of business 'done by 'the railways was accompanied in 1955, as in other•recent, years, by a sharp- ening of competition from truck, airplane, bus and automobile. To meet this stiffer competition the Canadian National has been moving ahead on a broad front towards better utilization of both its human and material resources. The Canadian National system has made notable gains in oper- ' ating efficiency in the past few years, and more, such gains will 'be required in the•future if the company is to win and hold' a sound financial position in an expanding Canadian economy. The events of 1955 are both a measure ,of the challenge and evidence of current efforts to meet it, West and, east from Montreal, new trains and schedules brought added comfort and speed to Ca- nadia" rail travel, Under diesel power, the Super Continental, Ocean Limited and Scotian cut over sixteen hours off the, rail trip from Halifax to Vancouver. The rapidly expanding devel- opment of Canadian resources is reflected in the contribution of. new. CNR lines to the open- ing of base metal areas,' The Kitimat line; opened last Janu- ary, is now in operation for both passengers and freight. During 1955, a rail line from Hillsport to .Manitouwadge, On- tario was completed .and con- struction . was started on one from Beattyville to Chibouga- mau and .St,. Felicien, Quebec. The steel skeleton of ;The Queen Elizabeth 'le ., now clearly visible on the • Montreal skyline and .general contracting work will begin early in the -new year. A start has been mad6: on the Terminal Centre Building being erected on the railway's prop- erty near the hotel. These are. further steps towards realiza- tion of a long-term plan for the development of the terminal area. In an effort to strengthen its competitive position in the trans- portation of motor vehicles, the Canadian National designed and• ordered 25 new car transporters, special box cars each with a capacity of eight vehicles. De- livery is expected in 1956. Jointly with the Canadian Pa- cific, the CNR extended the CBC's microwave TV relay sys- tem frons Montreal to Quebec City, thus helping to bring more Canadians into the widen- ing area of television reception. These and many dther new developments in 1955 took place against a shifting pattern of railway traffic, Canadian Na- tional freight tbnnage increased over 10 per cent, mainly as, a result of sharp increases in ship- ment of mine products, base metals, construction materials and lumber as well as most manufactured products, especial- ly automobiles, These increases, which more than• offset scattered tonnage declines, in grain, pulp- wood and coal were not, however, large enough • to bring total traf- fic to the peak level of 1953. The most significant gains were in low -rated commodities and this is reflected in a lower aver- age revenue per ton mile than In 1954, While there was no change in the general level of freight rates during 1955, there were import- ant developments in' the rate structure and its administration. A new Canadian Freight Classi- fication was' flied with the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada on March lst, and on the same date a scale of equal- ized class rates became effective, In a move to add to the com- petitive opportunities of carriers, Parliament in 1955 enacted legis- lation providing for freer ad- ministration of agreed charge contracts for freight transport. Since the latter part ' of July, when the new procedures came into effect, the Canadian Na- tional has arranged 28 new agreed charges with shippers, bringing the total in effect at year end to 95, Passenger travel over Cana- dian National lines was about the same as in 1954. Faster trains like the Super ContInen- tal, together with special tours and incentive fares, offset de- clines in immigrant travel early in the year, The Canadian transportation market is larger and more com- plex than it was a few years ago, and the CNR, like other carriers, is constantly striving to adjust its services to this changing market. The process of adjustment can be seen on many fronts: in new trains and lines and in line abandonments (of which there were eight to- talling 144 miles in 1955), in the extension of "piggy -back" serv- ice and incentive loading rates, in faster freight and passenger movement through dieselizatlon, in dinettes and coffee shop cars which in 1955 served 30 per cent of Canadian National train meals, and in the addition of truck routes for better service through integration of road and rail transport. Throughout the system, many long-ne:ded improvements are ,being made, enhancing its abil- ity to render good -.service and strengthening its basic earning power. These physical advances ars being made all across Canada. Cape Breton Island was linked to the mainland by rail and road for the first time in 1955, on completion of the Canso Cause- way. Extension of rail lines was MAIL FISH — Fish -by -mail is bill- ed as a "first-ever" offering by a mail order house,which has added aquarium residents to its 1956 catalogue.

Barclay 'Warren, God's Concern for Sinners Luke 15:1-10 Memory Selection: The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which is lost. Luke 19:10, - The publicans and sinners came near to Jesus to hear him. The religious Pharisees and scribes sneered. "This man re- ceiveth sinners, and eateth with them." Jesus effectively ans- wered the sneer by telling the story of the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son. The last part, The Prodigal Son is the best known but will be dealt with next fall. Yes, Jesus is a friend of sin- ners. He leaves the ninety and nine that are safe in the fold and goes searchisig for the lost one. When he finds it he car- ries it home, rejoicing. He calls his friends and neighbours • to come in and rejoice with him. He loves the sinner. Ninety and nine good people do not satisfy him if there is one lost. Ira D. Sankey has popularized this story in song. While in Scot- land with Evangelist D. L. Moody he came across the poem, The Ninety and Nine. That night iif the service he sat at the little organ and set the words to music as he sang. When Billy Graham was in Scotland last year the organ was pre- sented to him and shipped to USA., Similarly the woman who has lost one of her ten coins, per- haps a precious heirloore, searches till she finds it. Then she rejoices with her friends, At the conclusion Jesus says, "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sin- ner that repenteth." God is greatly concerned for sinners. That's why He gave His only begotten Son to die. That ' Son shared that concern in giv- ing Himself. If we are His dis- ciples we shall share that con- cern. "Did Christ o'er §inners weep And shall our cheeks be dry? ' Let floods of penitential tears Burst forth from every eyes" There is danger of our being more concerned over the etc quisite architecture and interior decoration of the church thou the saving of sinners. May God help us to share His concern for sinners, We shall then share the joy of the angels when one sin- ner repents and comes to Christ.
