OIL PRODUCING PLANTS (Experimental Farms News) War brings new problems to agri- culture as well as to industry. In World War 1, a graye shortage of root seed was experienced when sup- plies from Europe were suddenly cut off. The Experimental Farms in con- junction with the Canadian Seed Growers Association immediately started production of mangel and 'tur- nip seed on a commercial scale on the Farm system. With this as a lead and through the assistance of the Domin- ion Seed Branch and the Provincial Departments of • Agriculture farmers were encouraged to do likewise. Many of these -farmers, once started have carried on and when the present con- flict again stopped importation from Europe, Canada was in a much better position in regard to root seeds. Due to this war which is spread over a greater area of the, world many problems of supply have been created,. One of these is .the shortage of fats. of all kinds. Before Japan entered the conflict many vegetable oils were imported from the Orient, but we must depend now on our own efforts and on whatever can 'be shipped from South America. The United States department of Agriculture, according to latest survey, estimates that that country faces a shortage of close to a billion pounds of fats and oils for food and industrial purposes in 1943, To help overcome this shortage the government of Canada is asking for increased production of oil producing plants such as flax, soybeans, sun- flowers, etc, Tlhe objective for flax for seed is an, acreage increase of 68 per cent, Crops such as soybeans and flax are not new. The Experimental Farms are testing and -originating new varieties to try and improve the qual- ity and quantity of oil as well as the adaptability of these plants to various climatic condition,. New oil producing crops are also being tried out in an effort to improve the situation, One of these tested this . year at the Central Farm and a num- ber- of (Branch Vartng was Argentine rape, It belongs to the mustard or turnip family and is ,an annual, The seed contains about h3 per cent oil and is used ag a base for lubricating oils, The tests on the farms PP.

HE SLEW &ARLAN Here is a photo of Bonnier De Ls Chapelle, 20-year-old member of "Chantier De Jeunesse," who died early last month for the murder of Jean Francois Darien. The Chantier De Jeunesse is a French patriotic organization which aided Allied Decimation of French North Africa. Its members became embittered when Darlan, long an advocate of collaboration with the Nazis, was appointed chief of what they con- sidered a Fascist regime in North Africa, The worldto-day moves on oil and it may be, that. through the necessities of war, the country will be zoned as to the areas suitable for the growing of each of the oil producing plants. MEDICAL REFORM PROPOSED FOR GREAT BRITAIN According to an article by Charles Hill, M.D., Deputy Secretary of the British Medical Association, received from the BritiSh Ministry of inform- ation by tie Health League of Can- ada, British doctors are proposing that far-reaching changes be made in the present medical services in Great Bri- tain, The article quoting the first ...Re- port of the Doctors' Planning Com- mission, recently published, says that it is urged that an era of centrally con- trolled, co-operative medical practice be ushered in. The nation's health services, say the British doctors, should be based upon the family and upon the family doctor as the normal medical attendant and guardian. The first essential is not hospital service, they declare, but per- sonal service, such as can be rendered by a family doctor who has the con- tinuous care of the health of the fam- ilies in his charge. They want group medical practice rather than individual medical practice. The two great hospital services of Great Britain, say the doctors, should be assimilated into one unified sys- tem, embodying the great traditions and high standards of service. of the voluntary hospital and backed by the enormous resources of the nation. They also urge the extension of Nat- ional Health Insurance to wives and children, so as to bring within its ambit mine-tenths of the people of Britain. They argue that National Health Insurance has stood the test of thirty years and has proved itself sound, efficient and capable of develop- illent. Most interesting proposal contained in the Report, according to Dr. Hill, is that there should be set up a new central governmental authority con- cerned only with health and adequate- ly advised on medical matters. This new authority would be assisted by a Medical Advisory Committee. There would be established new local author- ities, large and rich enough to admin- ister in their areas complete health services, and also advised by Medical Committees. In every district, except the most sparsely populated, the focus of medical practice would be the health centre, At each centre a group of doctors, backed by auxiliaries of all kinds, dispeasers, 'nurses, etc,, would provide a general_ medical service. This centre would be the first line of defence against disease, open to the whole population. Here the doctors would do their work for the vast majority of the community. The patients would be frac to consult the doctor of their choice, and the doctors free to- select the patients of their choice. Under this scheme the medical hi- spection school Children( the 'exam- ination of expectant mothers, immun. itation against diphtheria and Other ()IOWA, ete, be undertaken at the health centre, There would be special clinics for tuberculosis, vener- eal disease, child guidance anti mental deficiency, Doctors would no longer buy and sell practices, and newcomers to medical practice would be appointed to a National Service and posted to a local health centre, They would be Paid on the basis of a part-time 'Salary plus an amount variable in proportion to the number of persons or families who choose to be treated by them, The medical affairs of the centre would .be in the hands of the doctors themselves, subject to the general ministrative control of the local auth- ority. Tt is argued that what -the doc- tors would lose in personal freedom, they would gain in freedom to do bet- ter work, untrammelled by the fin- ancial and other burdens of private practice, The fog was very heavy, and the anxious captain of the steamer was peering over the side of the bridge. Suddenly ,to his horror, the saw a man leaning on, a rail only a few yards away. "You confounded fooll" he roared, "where in blazes do you think you're going? I've got the right of way." "Could be, guy-nor, could be," came the sardonic reply, "But this ain't no bloomin' ship. This 'ere's a light- house," GORRIE St. Stephens Church Had Good Year The Annual Vestry Meeting of St. Stephen's Church was held recently, with the Rector, Rev, E. M. Caldwell, in the chair.

Sparling as well as organist, Miss Phyllis Hemingway. One of the outstanding items of business at this meeting was the con- sidering of the uniting with the Wrox- eter • congregation, in the event of Orarigehill closing their church, This questioa, after a lengthy debate, was left, w,ith the secretary to seed the Wroxeter Official Board—"Thanks for their courteous consideration but that at present we as a congregation WWI to carry on as a charge", This carried unanimous. Also a motion was re- corded, that we as a congregation pledge our support to the Board of Stewards, The meeting closed with prayer by the pastor. Mr. and Mrs., Gordon Edgar, Spent Thursday with.
