"Health Week" February 3 to 0. The, observance is sponsored by the League in co-operation with federal and provincial departments of health and provincial departments of Otto- tion. The pamphlet emphasized that ,every effort should be made to control ness which is largely at the root of the poverty and inefficiency which make the organization of charities and charit- able machinery necessary, Canadians are called on to take a broad view of public health problems, it being pointed nut that such pro- blems are national, rather than local in character, In this connection the League takes. the opportunity of em- phasizing the' importance of legislation by all provinces calling for compulsory pasteurization of milk. Doubtless service clubs and other such public-spirited organizations will stress this objective in their health pro- grams. . SUBMITS PLANS TO FFDERATION Mrs. 0. G.

End Of Price Ceilings On Some Goods Coming Ottawa,-A statement of Govern- ment policy on its stabilization pro- gram, possibly announcing the lifting of pribe ceilings on some goods, will "likely be made about the end of the month", Finance Minister Ilsley an- nounced. Mr. llsley said the statement would cover future procedure with regard to the price ceiling arfiendments, and add- ed; "As has been stated on a number of occasions, some price ceilings may be suspended when a review of the supply situation in certain fields, now under way .by the Prices Board, is completed." The Minister 'emphasized that the goods and services now under' consid- eration will be selected "primarily for supply reasons and will not exclude consumer goods covered in the cost-of- living index."

WINGIMM HOSPITAL SHOWS PROGRESS In the coming summer we may expect hundreds of visitors from the States. For many of them a good time means lots of leisure for hikes -visits to historic sites, scenic beauty spots. Let's give them a really friendly welcome and help to make their stay as memorable as it can be! WHAT CAN I DO? The answer is plenty! Here are some of the things anyone can do. The suggestions come from a well-known Ontario hotelman: I. Know the places of interest and beauty spots in your district and tell people about them. Widespread interest is being shown in the possibilities of chemical control of the present spruce budworm. in- festation of Quebec and Ontario for- ests, and demands have been made by those interested for further informa- tion on the DDT experiments carried out last year. The, Bi-monthly Pro- gress Report 'of the Forest Insect In- vestigations, issued by the Division of Entomology, Dominion Department of Agricnulture, points out that several technical reports have beep prepared during the past few months but all of them arc more or less preliminary in character. However, says' the Report, it is hoped that soivething definite may be ready belforge long. The. last word on some of the experiments will not and cannot be said until it is known what the ultimate fate will be of the' stands that have been treated. Mean- while, it is intended to devote the en- tire issue of the Bi-monthly Progress Report for January-February, -1946, to discussions on DDT and its uses in forest insect control, 200-Bed Addition To Hospital Proposed London,-First steps toward erect- ing a new $1,000,000 200-bed wing at Victoria Hospital, were taken by the Hospital Trust after hearing several doctors describe the current bed shortage there as an "emergency." The Trust passed a motion asking City Council to authorize engaging a local consulting architect to prepare plans. The voice of Canadian farm women made itself heard at Thursday's session of the Canadian Federation of Agric- ulture annual convention at London, when one of the three women delegates urged . provincial federations to take the lead in publiciiing national health insurance. Mrs. O. G. Anderson, Wingham, president of the Women's Division of the Federation declared in a presenta- to the general session that the Feder- ation of Agriculture is the "logical me- dium" through which the farmer can obtain information 'on health insurance, and express his views. The women's presentation was pre- pared at a caucus of the three official delegates-Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. F. M Rutherford of Campbellford, represent- ing the federated board of women's Institutes, and Mrs. J. A. Pritchard, of Manotick, a director of the Ontario federation-and other women in at- tendance at the sessions. "There seems to be some uncertainty whether rural health needs will receive enough consideration under the latest insurance plan" declared Mrs. Ander- son. "Farm women are effected as much as men by the conditions and problems under discussion at this convention", asserted Mrs. Anderson in submitting the women's presentation and voicing their support of the parent body. In caucus, the women recommended that women directors from each prov- ince attend the sessions of the Canad- ian federation each year. This has not been' done, in the past, according to Mrs. Anderson. (Cl • Atintted from page one) Extra Services: Private 1030,75 SICKNESS BLAMED Steel.
