Forest Entomology
In an appreciation of Dr. J. M.
Swains, who recently retired from his
post as Director of Science Service,
Dominion Department of Agriculture,
the Bi-Monthly report, Forest Insect
Investigations, points out that Dr.
Swaim was the founder of forest ento-
mology in Canada. When the Divis-
ion of Forest Entomology was created
in 1916 he became its Chief and con-
tinued to act in that capacitY. until 1934
when he was appointed Director of
Science Service. During his long car-
eer, says the report, he acquired
world-wide recognition as an outstand-
ing research worker and a capable ex-
ecutive.

PORK CUTS
A standard method of cutting pork
similar to that which has been in ef-
fect for beef, veal and lamb is now re-
quired by an order issued by the War-
time Prices and Trade Board . Retail
ceiling prices have also been establish-
ed for stated cuts of fresh,• smoked or
cooked pork. According to Board of-
ficials retailers have not been restric-
ted as to their method of cutting pork
and on sales were required only to lint-
it their markup under the Item Index
System. This resulted in a wide var-
iety of cuts with variations in price, a
situation which will now be eliminated.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q:—I have two unfurnished rooms for
Which I pay $6 a week This includ-
es heat, light and water. There IS
no private entrance. Am I charged
too much rent?
AI—You have not given sufficient in-
formation in your question for us to
determine the correct ceiling price,
If these rooms 'were rented in the
basic period the charge made then
would be the tnaximurn rental. If
the actomodation has been rented
for the first time since December
10th,, 1942, the landlord would have
to apply for a fixation of the rent, If
the landlord is supplying the bed-
ding and linen and doing the lawny
Bering of the bedding and linen and
renting on 'a per 'person basis he can
fix his own fit* rate, If you will
give us MOO detailed information
