Packages of Lard
A new package to help meet
one of the greatest single needs
of undernourished European fa
milies-™ a 10 pound package of
lard, was announced today by
Breen Melvin. Canadian repre
sentative Of CARE.
At the same time, Mr. Melvin
made known that CARE was
withdrawing its cotton .package.
He explained that this step was
in line with CARE’S policy of
responding to changing condi
tions overseas. The cotton sup
ply in Europe is steadily improv
ing and production there makes
it unnecessary for CARE to con
tinue offering its cotton pac
kage.
The new lard parcel is being
offered at $5.50 and orders may
now be sent to Canadian CARE,
193 Sparks Street, Ottawa, with
delivery guaranteed in Austria,
Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France,
Great Britain, Hungary, Italy,
Netherlands, Poland and the
American, British and French
Zones of Germany.
For the city of Berlin, the
price of the package has been
set at $6.50., since CARE in un
able to. maintain its customary
stockpile there as a result of the
blockade, and the packages must
be flown in from Frankfurt.
The product contained in the
new parcel is called “Swit’ning”
and aside from the fact that it
will place a long missing neces
sity on European tables, it has
qualities that make it especially
suitable for long distance ship
ment and storage. “Swift’ning”
requires no refrigeration and
will not turn rancid.
■CARE’s addition of the lard
package is the result of surveys
disclosing that the lack of fats
remains one of Europe’s most
serious nutrition problems. These
findings were confirmed by Ex
ecutive Director Paul C o m 1 y
French, on a recent trip to Eu
rope, where he conferred with
CARE Chiefs of Mission in var
ious countries.
As is the case with all other
CARE packages, the lard will be
admitted to Europe without du
ties or taxes of any kind, and
the recipients will lose no part
of their regular rations. It may
be sent to relatives or friends or
designated groups.
Other packages offered by
CARE, at $10 each, are standard
food; special food for Italy,
Greece, Britain and Japan; kos
her food; baby and infant food;
wollen, blanket, layette, house
hold linen and knitting wool.

Ontario Crops
Suffer From
Lack of Rainfall
The heat that visited Ontario
last week was the hottest of the
season but cool weather is again
the order of the day.
An Ontario Agriculture De
partment crop report said pas
tures had been “burned up” in
many sections. The heat wave
scalded root crops, particularly
tomatoes, and brought a sharp
reduction in milk and egg pro
ducts. Some dairymen are feed
ing hay and grain to cows, cut
ting into their winter feed sup
plies in order to keep up the
present milk supply.
The Ontario peach crop sur
vived the heat and a peak crop
of good quality peaches are mov
ing to markets.
The peach crop was said to be
as heavy, if not heavier, than
last year, with prices just as
low. While the heat did not hunt
the peaches, it speeded ripening.
Farmers in the Hamilton and
Niagara Peninsula peach-grow
ing districts said it would be
necessary to pick the entire crop
this week. Lack of sufficient
pickers might mean a heavy loss
on this cron too.

Motorists Beware!
It Can Happen to You
Every traffic rule and regula
tion we have, every highway
.sign and road marking, and
every careful driving habit and
precaution Ontario motorists
possess, should be rigidly obser
ved and brought into play this
coming week-end,” declares the
Hon. George H. Doucett, Minis
ter of Highways, in an urgent
warning of the traffic tragedies
that, always follow the heavy
traffic flow on the Labour Day
week-end.
“Fifteen fatal traffic ;accidents
over Labour Day week-end
meant one death almost every
five hours and failed to lessen
the toll last year when seventeen
were killed,” the Minister points
out. With this summer’s record
traffic peaks still prevailing,
grave anxiety naturally is felt
for the traffic accident outlook
for Labour Day of 19 48.
Coming at the end of the
summer’s heavy traffic volume,
and of the holiday season rush,
Labour Day is the signal for a
flood of American tourists and
Ontario families to start toward
home, for thousands of Canadian
National Exhibition visitors to
take to the roads—and for more
than half-a-million Ontario chil
dren to have one last carefree
fling before the school bells ring
and life in Ontario slows to nor
mal routine.
“It all seems to diminish res
traint and caution on the high
ways, and to combine to make
Labour Day one of the most
dangerous week-ends of the year
for traffic accidents and fatali
ties,” explains Mr. Doucett.
“If motorists would only re
member that traffic safety is no
accident, this is the week-end of
the year when they would prac
tice every safety device ever con
ceived and rehearse and follow
every safety slogan ever coined.
There can be no pleasure in
looking forward to a week-end
of accidents and tragedies, On
tario’s motorists should not just
obey the traffic laws. From Sat
urday morning to Tuesday morn
ing, Ontario’s drivers should
call into use every care and
courtesy of the road as they
have never before,”
Despite record traffic volumes
this year, the provincial traffic
safety campaign has seen grati
fying .justification in fewer traf
fic futilities being recorded in
the Province in. the first half of
194 8 than in atiy'six-monlh peri
od since the end of the war. As
the Minister warned at the start
of the summer, however, traffic
conditions have been increasing
ly dangerous, with 69 deaths oc
curring in July, nine more than
the July average of the past ten
years. The August record, of
course, is not yet available.
