The two hospitals in Canada, one at Montreal and one at Winnipeg, are operated and maintained entirely by contributions from the various Shrine organizations across the country. Of interest to residents in this area covered by Pal Mocha Shrine Clubs is the contribution made to hospitals at Palmerston and Wingham where they have completely furnished a room in each, to be used as children’s wards, and have pledged a similar room at Listowel Memorial Hospital. The service of the Shrine Club to crippled children is to be commended.

Lowering Butter Price T Says Federation Fieldman During the past few weeks the Fed­ eral Government has been supplying thp Canadian consumer with its 1954 storage butter nt below floor price levels. This policy of feeding the stor­ age holdings into the Canadian mar­ ket is having a depressing effect on prices farmers are receiving during the interval the government is un­ loading its 1954 storage, says James Powers, Bruce Federation Fieldman, Perhaps we should not be complain- Bruce will be interested to know that a new home economist has been ap­ pointed and took up her duties on Monday, She is Mrs. Dorothy Fil­ singer, the former Dorothy Field, of Sarnia. Last September she married Howard Filsinger, of Mildmay district, who is a student of Emmanuel Col­ lege, studying for the ministry of the United Church of Canada, Mrs, Fil­ singer is a 1955 graduate of house­ hold sicence at Toronto University. Bruce County and Huron County have been without a home economist since the resignation of Miss Jean Steckle," who has spent the past year at Cor­ nell University. 4-H Club leaders, who have carried on as best 'they could with some help from home econ­ omists in other counties, will welcome Mrs. Filsinger to her new office, St. James’ Guild Mrs. Victoria Brothers was hostess to the Women’s Guild, St. James’ Ang­ lican church, on Tuesday afternoon.

Also expected to be present is the unusual oriental band of Mocha Temple which will also provide part of the evening’s entertainment. The Pal Mocha Club is composed Howick Lions Club through their capable master of ceremonies, proved people are funny on Friday night. Wroxeter town hall had a capacity audience for a very entertaining and profitable show. Valuable prizes added to the interest. From the sending out of three couples to sell Christmas trees in June and other articles around the village, only to be sent back to buy the articles back again, to the prize for the best looking farmer and the sweetest .smile of the small girls, there was never a dull moment. The husband and wife act, to prove how much each knew about the others tastes, the stupid-looking fishermen, Mrs. Santa Claus calling her friend to ask what she would like for Christmas and many other acts, provided plenty of fun and prizes and surely proved "People Are Funny,” Lion Ken Edgar planned the show and was assisted in correspondence, etc,, by Mrs. Edgar and Mrs'. Ruth MacDonald. Members of the club gave able assistance in putting the show over, Howick Lions Club is gratefql to all who donated prizes to make the evening possible ,and Ken is to be congratulated on the success of the evening. He has once again proved his value as a good leader. TV talent scouts who are looking for this type of entertainment with a master of ceremonies who can really put it over, would do well to look this way.

S, don­ ated almost 800 million pounds of dairy products to needy people abroad. In the past two year Pgriod U, S, has donated 728 million lbs. to foreign countries. In addition, millions of pounds were donated to schools and institutions in their own country. In Canada we find our surplus sup­ ply being fed back into our own mar­ ket, which problem in postponing year. This cided to offer public institutions some butter at a discount of 21c per pound. According to Mr. Gardiner’s report only a million pounds were purchased. This indicates, that many institutions refused to use the product and ac­ cording to a patient in a Toronto hospital he was fed the synthetic pro­ duct during his recent stay. In rural areas where these insti­ tutions are not making use of the offer made available to them and are serving the competitive product, some action should be taken by county council. The farmer is «a heavy tax payer towards their support and by supporting the dairy industry in Can­ ada our hospitals are more likely to continue on a sound financial basis. However, serving an inferior import­ ed product, produced at extremely low wage levels, is unfair both for the patient and the Canadian dairy farm­ er. Another question existing is the reason why the offer of lower priced butter is made on a temporary basis*, while the government is unloading its previous years holdings? Farm or­ ganizations should be pressing for the is not the answer to the the least.
