How co-operative are you?
You are unto -operative if
you have:
1. The "me -first" attitude.
He who always asks, 'What
do I get out of it?" usually
avoids co-operative efforts
because he doesn't think they
bring hire any immediate
benefit.
2, Critical or defeatist at-
titude. The critic thinks he
can do it better, so he either
stays aloof or discourages the
efforts of others.
3. Insular attitude. Co-op-
eration is foreign to the per-
son whose interests never
take him beyond his own im-
mediate task.
4.• Rebellious attitude.
Some people resent having to
take orders from anyone else.
If none of these attitudes
apply to you, the odds are in
your favour as you seek popu-
larity and success.

Ontario Co-operatives
According to a survey, which
was undertaken jointly by the.
Dominion and Ontario Depart-
ments of Agriculture, 228 local
area co-operatives and 204 farmer -
owned cheese' and butter manu-
facturing companies were in active
operation throughout Ontario dur-
ing 1946-47. In addition, the Unit-
ed
nit
ed Farmers' Co-operative Co. Ltd.,
the provincial central co-operative
for marketing farm products and
supplies, was active. Total sales
of these organizations were 279,-
023,349.
Of all farm products marketed
co-operatively, livestock was the
most important with about 27 per
cent of the total, followed by fruit
and, vegetables, dairy products„
eggs and poultry, grain and seed,
wool, and miscellaneous products
of many kinds. Grain, feed and
seed comprised more than half of
the supplies, distributed through
Ontario co-operatives, groceries
and meats were second in import-

As Manitoba knows, it will nev-

said of Erskine, that his voice
robbed the Hybla bees and left
them honeyless. He relies more
On rigorous logic and exact docu-

Mr. Garson is much more than a
practical politician with a flair for

ideas. He is something of a schol-

would blush at the title, yet it be-
longs to a man who knows Park -
man the way he does. He has
schooled himself in the specula-
tions of modern economists and he
has even found a sort of dusty en-
chantment in Government Blue

problems of government have be-
come very complex and technical.
Mr. Garson will be one of the men
around the council table who will
be foremost in fully appreciating
the implications of various pro-
posals demanding government ac-

him from any puffed-uP reliance on

point to the experiment in the
State of Hyderabad, which in
1918 adopted Urdu as its, lingua

It soon was found that Urdu
was too poor a language to impart

While near -wars in 'Kashmir .and'
Hyderabad have been occupying,_
the news columns of the world,
another battle, of much greater im-
pgrt to the future of India, al-
though much less publicized, has
been going on in the minds of all
thinking Indians. This battle is
between the English language and
the various Indian .languages
whieh are spoken. by the 400,000,-
000 people in India and Pakistan.
Two hundred years of British
rule left many legacies to free
India in 1947, some good and some
—not so good.
Among these legacies ,has been
the English language. Ever since
the days of the East India Com-
pany . when, tu. 1$31;,, Lord. &l'aeall-:
lay recommended the teaching of
English 'to Indians because,. he
said,•the Oriental arta 'and sciences
were obsolete and 'fantastic, Eng-
lish has been the language of gov-
ernment • and commerce and, the
recognized tongue -among the fore-
most people of the country. And
for the past four or five genera-
tions a knowledge of English has
been eagerly sought after by all
progressive Indians.
The English language indeed
has played no small .part in main-
taining India's unity. For India is
not a country of two or three dif-
ferent tongues. No fewer than 225
different dialects exist. Of these,
eleven are major languages, each
spoken by many millions of per-
sons, Without a recognized lingua
franca capable of expressing the
advanced ideas of the 20th cen-
tury, Indians are to a large ex-
tent cut off from one another, and
also, of course, from .the rest of
the world and from the progress
which India so badly needs to bet-
ter • the lot of its millions of un-
der -fed and illiterate citizens.
Until now. English has been
that lingua franca. Perhaps . 10,-
000.000 good English speakers (no
statistics are available) have been
enough to run the administrative
services of the country, to engage
in overseas trading, and to lead
the country. despite polyglotism,
to
the,
present stage of advance-
ment. The Indian is in fact noted
for his facility in learning a for-
eign language and Indian writer/
such as Rabindranath Tagore, Sar-
ojini Naidu, and Sir Sarvapelli
Rad,hakrishnan, not to mention
Mohandas K. Gandhi himself, have
made permanent and worthy con-
tributions to English literature.
As in every country the cultural
level depends upon the small
group that leads, Every Indian
leader. is a good English scholar.
Jawaharlal Nehru, for example,
English -educated and Cambridge -
graduated, is in some ways more
English than Indian.
The tremendous upsurge of na-
tional feeling. which reached its
culmination when independence
was gained on August 15, 1947,
brought with it a powerful move-
ment to abolish English either
abruptly or gradually, in favor of
Hindi. The reformers want to be-
gin by replacing. English as the
medium of instruction in the
schools, and later in the universi-
ties.
Hindi, however, and also its
near relative Hindustani, which
was devise-i'by .Gandhi as a com-
promise bet',veen Hindi, the main
language o: Hindu India, and
Urdu. the main language of Mos-
lem India, are completely strange
to large sections of the people.
who form as much as 50 per cent
of the population.
The peoples of South India, for
example, speak such well-estab-
ished languages as Tamil. Telugu,
Kanarese, and Malayalam, which
have as little in common with
Hindu as they have with English.
There the movement to establish
Hindi as the national language is
naturally opposed.
Clearly, young children first of
all must be educated in their
mother tongue, and this is a point
of general agreement. Then, in a
country such as India, which
must aim at bilingualism, the
children later must be taught a
second language. Finally, so that
the children may become really
,proficient in the second language,
they ultimately must be taught in
that language. This is the system
followed in other bilingual coun-
tries such as South Africa and
Wales.
But what is this language to be
in India? Should it look to the
West and adopt officially the lan-
guage which will place in its
grasp the culture and science of
the most advanced countries in
the world?
Or should it bow to the dictates
of patriotism and pride, and de-
velop a national language of its
own:
None exists now, and it would
take from 25 to 50 years to ex-
tend
x
tend and popularize the new lan-
guage. Then, having learned two
languages, his mother tongue and
his national tongue, the Indian
still would be cut off .from the
whole of the western world by a
self -built linguistic barrier,
In the provincial parliaments,
in the universities, in the corre-
spondence columns of the news-
papers, in homes, in offices, in the
legislative assembly itself the
battle between loyalty to oriental
culture and the obvious' ad�vamt-'
ages of western • learning has
mounted steadily since independ-
a,nce was gained. The advantage
lies at the moment with the pro-
tagonists of Hindi, Decisions have
been tauten to abolish English in
many universities within five
years and in some schools the
teaching of handdtrafts has a1 -
ready been 8tibstituted for Etrglish

CATTLE SHOULD BE
WATCHED •FOR LICE
At this time of year when cattle
and young stock are established in
c watch
i e quarters, a careful winter q t
should be made of all animals for
signs of lice. Cows and heifers
will sometimes come in itt the late
fall and winter infested with lice,
even though the buildings .have
been thoroughly cleaned during
the summer months. Young calves
housed. during the sunnier should
also be watched. By careful ex-
amination, the appearance of lice
can be detected on the head 'and
neck of the animal or on the tail -
head and hind quarters.
Cattle that are allowed to he -
come thoroughly infested with lice
will exhibit a dry starey coat, loss
of hair resulting in exposed patch-
es of skin and a general unthrifty
appearance. Such a condition re-
sults in lowered milk production,
retarded growth and more costly
maintenance. Early detection of
lice and prompt treatment will
prevent any ill effects to infested
animals.
Numerous sprays,, dips and pow-
ders or the judicious application
of oils lave been used. to eradicate
lice on cattle. In recent years
DDT in the form of a spray or
powder has proved highly effec-
tive.
The practice adopted at the
Central Experimental Farm, Ot-
tawa, says V. S. Logan, is to apply
five per cent DDT powder using a
shaker or open container. The
affected animals are thoroughly
covered and the powder is, rubbed
well into the hair. A second and
sometimes a third application is
made at ten or twelve day inter-
vals to insure the destruction of
any lice that may have hatched
after the initial treatment. In
summer, with the regular applica-
tion of DDT spray for flies both
on the animals and about the
stable, the application of powder is,
rarely required except possibly on
calves that remain housed during
the summer months.
Clipping of the head, neck and
hind quarters together with regu-
lar grooming is routine at the Cen-
tral Experimental Farm. This is
a further aid in the detection of
cattle lice and makes for easier
and more thorough treatment.
Tuberculin Test Guards Livestock
The tuberculin test, conducted
by an experienced veterinarian, is
one of the most' reliable' methods
known of discovering tuberculosis
infection of anarrials.
Dominion Department of Agri-
culture veterinarians have, by us-
ing tuberculin as a diagnostic ag-
ent, together with the application
of sound and proven sanitary mea-
sures, succeeded' in eradicating
bovine tuberculosis from many
Canadian counties, municipalities
and districts. The demand for this
service is nation-wide, and all
available ' departmental veterinar-
ians, together with many veterin-
ary practitioners, are engaged in
this vital work. Nearly 5,000,000
animals, or approximately one-half
the cattle population of Canada„
are now under the supervision of
the Health of Animals Division,
Dominion Department of Agricul-
tue, for the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis.
' The eradication of tuberculosis
from Canadian herds is of the
utmost importance for the follow-
ing reasons:
(1) Being transmissable to man,
bovine tuberculosis is a menace to
public health through contact with
diseased, animals or consumption
of infected animal products.
(2) Animal wastage: Usually
undetected in unsupervised herds
until the disease has ruined the
entire herd.
(3) Tuberculous animals, re-
gardless of breeding type, sex or
age, are usually worth only what
the carcass will bring on slaugh-
ter for food purposes or fertilizer.
(4) With the present day activ-
ity in the cattle trade, the pres-
ence of tuberculosis in Canadian
herds pdses a continuous menace
to valuable, disease-free herds.
(5) The prosperity of the Cana-
dian livestock industry depends
upon being able to dispose\ of
surplus healthy iivestoek and live-
stock products in foreign mark-
ets. Unless Cana.rlian cattle are
free of disease, particularly tub-
erculosis and brucellosis, they are
not eligible for export, except for
rurr,nses of immediate slaughter.
The nwner of. a disease-free herd
should not accept, animals as addi-
tions 10 his herd unless such ani-
mals are from heals of equal
health status, or officially certified
as free from disease.

Besides the wealth of English
with its estimated vocabulary of
half a million words, the poverty
of Indian Ianguage is patent.
Technical words especially repro-
duce very poorly or not at all (the
Hindu word for "radio" is Vidhy-
udhw anikshepakanigrakay a n t r a)
and even for normal conversa-
tion, educated Indians constantly
have to borrow English words and
phrases to express themselves. In
these very conversations can be
seen the signs that India stands
today at a linguistic crossroad -
One road points east, another
west.

dier, "but I'm not a contortionist."

The French general, visiting in
England, was invited to •the silver
wedding anniversary of a distin-
guished British comrade -in -arm.
"Silver wedding?" the French-
man asked', "It is a ceremony
which I do not quite grasp."
"Well, you see," replied his Eng-
lish friend, "my wife and I have
lived together for twenty-five years
without being separated a' single
day, except during the war.'
"Ah!" said the Frenchman. "And
now you marry her? Magnifique!"

Canada's banks have
OOI, 000 bosses
Your bank account is one of seven million. You
keep it in the bank of your choice. A bank exists
by the confidence of its depositors. You're the boss...
YOUR banks operate under charters
granted by Parliament, which every ten years
reviews and revises them.
Above all, the depositor is \the
controlling factor—the safety of depositors'
funds is a bank's first concern. As a depositor
exercising your free choice --yours is the
power which keeps the bank alert
to your needs.
And it works out. Impartial authorities
have called Canada's banking system one of
the soundest and most efficient in the world. -
Contrast this Canadian way with conditions in
kinds where freedom is denied—where every
bank is a political tbol, every banker a State •
official! State monopoly of banking,
proposed by socialists here, would open
your banking transactions to political intrusion.,
