WAR PRODUCTION

——3 0: :—-- Ottawa, February 13th— In the pro- ceedings of parliament, recovening

next week war issues will naturally overshadow everything else. Domestic affairs however will very likeiy en- liven pariamentary discussions. Ob- servers believe that when an opporiun- ity offers something will be heard of the Sirois Conference mainly in refar- ence to its echoes in Provincial capi- tals. Of more practical interest, since the Sirois report is shelved for the time being at least, will be discussions on the money question. Farming prob- lems will undoubtedly hold a promin ent place in debate, There will be an- nounceinents of government policy on wheat s seeding time approaches, on cheese, bacon and other products, par- ticularly those most directly affected by war conditions in Europe. The most important developments in the general agricultural situation that have taken place during the recess of Parliament have been the growing or- ganization and increased spirit of co- operation in the agricultural commun ity with an increased sense ot coilec tive responsibility both to the country and to the farmers themselves, and the recent efforts of provincial govern- ments to aid the industry. It is felt here that there is a growing cohesion in teh industry which increases its infiuence in the country.

Oiticials of the Finance Department are engaged in the heavy task of pre- paring the budget, a monumental und- ertaking these days when stresses and strains of taxation on the economic life of the country must be carefully weighed. The budget which will be brought down, it is believed, quite early in the session, will be’ awaited with interest and some anxiety. It has recently pointed out on several occasions that war expenses have been running at the rate of approximately $90,000,000 a month or roughly $1,000,- 000,000 a year. But this is merely a convenient point of demarcation. These expenses are bound to go con- siderably higher during the coming fiscal year. It is impossible to expect the ordinary expenses of the govern- ment to be reduced below about $350,- 000,000 to $375,000,000. The reason for this is obvious, Non-war ‘expenses will be out; the defficit of the Canadian National will be much lower than be- fore the war, unemployment relief has declined, but there are certain cores ofexpense which cannot be altered. A very important one is the interest on the public debt. The bonds during the past few years have almost entirely been refunded at rates now ruling ip the money market. This interest am- ounts to about $130,000,000 a year, So too the civil senvice carrying on its work now largely.in connection with the war, has to be paid, and there are other ‘essential services. But this does not mean that parliament will not in- sist on economies being effected in certain peacetime items of expense. In addition to the $350,000,000 for gov- ernmental expenses there will be ab- out $300,000,000 for repatriation of Canadian securities held by British in- vestors, Against this total of say $1,600,000,000, there will be the reven- ues which have reached almost $600, 000,000 from April Ist last to January 81st. But if for the full year revenues reach say $800,000,000, there will still be an equivient amount or more that will have to be provided by borrowing. About 15 per cent will be raised by war savings certificates if the objec- tive of $120,000,000 is reached,

During the week, the members of the Cabinet have sketched in the details of Canada’s war program for 1941, earlier announced in its broad lines by Prime Minister Mackenzie King on February 11st. When parliament dis- cusses the ministerial reports on the progress ofthe war effort, there are certain handicaps which must be borne in mind even though these hand- icaps do not necessarily imply the ex- istence of grave faults in the program. ‘These are the difficulties of getting a general view of war production when so much is in various stages of devel-

by observers here that it is up to the Canadian people to avoid complacen-

cy and keep the government on its

toes.

In briefest form the announcements of the war cabinet show that 25 air squadrons of Canadians trained in the

joint training plan will be sent to Bri- tain to join the 3 squadrons now on active service there. This was arranged in an agreement signed by Col. Rals- ton with Sir Archibald Sinclair, Brit- ish Air Secretary, on January 7th. The air plan has had a total enrollment of 39,000 men; another 36,000 wi'l be enlisted during this year, The whole training pln will be in full working or- der by September. About 50,000 men will be gent to join the Canadian corps in Britain. These will consist of corps troops, the Third Division, a tank bri- gade and an armored division. About $100,000,000 will be spent this year in equipping these armored units. The Canadian navy will have 413 ships and 27,000 men by March, 1942. A consid- erable number of corvettes built in Canadian yards will help fight the submarine menace in the spring. Some are already engaged in the work. In the production of war materials and equipment North America will be con- sidered an industrial unit, Canada con- centrating on types of war equipment and weapons not obtainable in the United States. For the armed forces and industry Canada will require more than 300,000 additional men and wo- men during the year.

SCOTS TEA—

Lured by the attraction of a ‘Scots’ Tea”, a large number wended their Way to the Sample Room of the King Edward last Saturday, when the Lad- ies Aid of United Church arranged a unique and interesting afternoon.

A large cone direct from Scotland resting on a piece of silk Tartan made an interesting centre for each table. Abundance of oat cakes and cheese, scones, and jelly, sandwiches, cake and tea formed the appetizing menu.

Mrs Hunt played Scotch airs through out the afternoon, thus bringing Auld Scotia to the sense of sound as well as taste.

In charge at the ‘Table were Mrs Nelson White,

Convenor of Tea room arrangements was Mrs Lounsbury, assisted by a number of the Ladies.

Servitors were Annie Frances Jones, Ilene Willson, Watson, Georgina Koch.

The gratifying sum of $33 was clear- ed.

McEACHERN OF CALGARY War Savings

ADDRESSES LIONS ON CANCER Campaign

At the Lions meeting last Thursday

hight, the members heard an enthus iastic pep talk about teh drive for the sule of Var Savings Stamps and Cert ificates which is taking place this month, It was announced that in con- nection with the campaign being stag: ed in Strathmore, arrangements had also Ween made to cover Cheadle and Namaka, One new member was pres ent and was welcomed tu the meetings. Dr. McEachern—

The speaker of the evening was Di J. S. MeBachern, president of the Canadian Society for the Control of Cancer, In his capacity on the board of the Society, Dr McKeachern spoke to the members on some cf (he many various phases of cancer. Ovilining the many various ways in which small, individual inventions help to make a marvellous whole, as in ilve automo- bile, Dr MeEachern described how it was due to many small inventions in the tield of medicine, many of thein by non medicos or chemists, that we have any knowledge at all today of disease, and how to cure it. Only due to scientific compilation of data, and the use of it, could any progress be made.

Concerning cancer, the speaker said it was a mass of questions. Probably the first one that was thought of, he said, was one of heredity. It cannot be stated definitely, declared Dr McEach- ern, but in all probability, cancer is not hereditary. All indications would lead to the conclusion that it was an individual disease. Is it contagious? Here he declared emphatically that it is not. Countless cases can be cited where contagion would have produced another case, and there are no substan- tiated cases where cancer has_ been caught from another’s disease. Can anything be done about it, Very de- finitely, yes. If left alone, it always kills, said the doctor, but if discover- ed in the early stages, and thorough- ly removed, through surgery, or des. troyed through treatment, it can be permanently healed — providing that it may be removed or destroyed with- out interfering with or injuring sur- rounding areas. For instance, cancer of the brain may not be removed, nor can it be in the esophagus or the pan- creas, About half of the cases, however occur in spots which may treated, In cases of cancer of the skin, the lip, the tongue, the stomach, the main diffi- culty is in getting them early enougi:.

Regarding a cure, Dr McEachern sta- ted that the disease may be cured with either electricity, or with radium, However, it may be cured only when the growth has gone no further than its own local spot — that is to say, when none of the growth has broken off from the main body, gone coursing through the blood channels, and fin- ally lodged at some other point far re- moved from the original scene. If it has spread before treatment, opera- tion can be merely a palliative, only successful until the successive growths appear,

it is a very worth-while effort to have people pay attention to slgns of cancer very early in their appearance, and to do sometbing about them. What are the signs? There are none. That is to say, said the speaker, that there are no signs or symptoms defin- ively those of cancer and nothing eise. it can mimic any disease, in any or «un of the body. However, a cancer: ous eruption is found in local spots Jniy, nol as a rash over the body. In itny of the hollow organs, the stomach, the intestines, the functions are inter- tered with. in its beginning, cancer is never painful in any part of the body. For the most part, cancer hits middle aged ov older people,

Speaking of cancer as a menace Dr McKEachern stated that cancer _ kills 12,000 people a year in Canada, As a primary death dealing agency, cancer, tro said, stands head and shoulders above all the other diseases.

The Society for the Control of Can- cer, he stated, {s a laymamti’s organiz- ation, There are doctors in it — but hot very many. It is primarily an or- ganization of people interested in ed- ucating the public to go in’ time to seek aid. They must be shown, he felt, that it can be treated, and that it can be cured.

Fully half of the cases, he re-em- phasized ,occur in places where a per- manent cure may be had. In the other half — no. They cannot be cured — not until we get some dvfinite know- ledge of its causes, an dfurther, of its treatment.

A hearty vote of thanks was tender- ed the Doctor for his most interesting and informative address.

Scout Notes

An interesting and beneficial meet- ing of the Group Committee of Scouts and Cubs, Asst. Scout Leader and Cub Master together with a few inter- ested parents and friends, met in Har- mer’s Hall Friday evening last to dis-

cuss various questions of chief con- cern to both boys, parents and com- mittee, There was a frank, free and

friendly discussion resulting in a de- sire to carry on with increased en- thusiasm on the part of all, Election of members for the Group Committee resulted as follows— President, Geo. E. Quirin; Sec.-Treas,, 8. H. Crowther; Executive, Messrs. BE. N. Ridley, Art Hay, and Mrs G. H. Patrick and Mrs A. Hay.

The War Savings Stamp Campaign which has been carried on by tho Strathmore Lions Club in Strathmore and vicinity since last June under the “ble leadership of Lion Leonard Van- Tighem succeeded in selling over $1,900 worth of Stamps and Certific- ates. .

This work will be continued under the Chairmanship of Lion President Ned Ridley who will have as his as- sistants in town Lions John Giffen, A. D. Shrimpton, Don Wright, assisted by Lioness Edna Hughes and Gladys Hirtle,

It is the intention of the Dominion Government to stress the sale of War Certificates this year and the present campaign being carried on this month i; particularly for this purpose, ‘The sale of stamps will also, of course, be continued as well,

In the Cheadle district, the campaign will be carried on by Sub-chairman Lee Welsheimer, assisted by Fred Cramer. In the Namaka district by subchairman H. Colpoys, assisted by Wm. Fawkes. Other areas are being organized as rapidly as possible,

It is earnestly hoped that every ass- istance will be given to make this cam- paign 100% successful

It is our duty to lend the govern- ment every cent we can spare — the C.P.R., Western Section staff and the C, P. R, Farm employees have already signed up 100%.

GOLDEN ROMBER FUND

STRATHMORE C. P. R. LEADS OVER LARGER CENTERS

The above fund originated in Mon- treal and taken up ‘enthusiastically by C, P. R. across Canada, The plan is to contribute any old gold rings, watches, chains, dental crowns or plates’ or what have you to the Fund, these to be melted and turned in at face value of gold. This in addition to any cash donation the contributors wished to make.

The total sum received to January 22nd last was approximately $27,000 and of this Western lines had given $18,000, Strathmore’s C, P. R. officials stand high in the list, excelling in some cases that of larger centers.

Congratulations, carry on C. P. R.

Hockey

Saturday night, ome of the best crowds of the year turned out to watch the Ste. Anne’s - Red Wings bout, n which the home team ran up the higher end of a 10-9 score in a see- Saw scoring match which kept the fans on their feet throughout most of the play. Although the score ran to such large proportions, both the goal- ies were playing hard and well, in some instance making remarkably clever stops. It was more due to ex- ceptionally good teamwork and clever stick-handling than to any lack that the score rose so high. Red Wings seemed to have made the grade in get- ting their play organized, and a bright future looms ahead. There were few instances of dirty playing in the game although it was more than usual- ly rough, most of the players seeming to look for a bump instead of trying to avoid it. It at least gave the crowd a few thrills,

Mustangs — Red Wings

Playing Calgary Mustangs on ‘lues- day night, the Red Wings again came through on top of a 9-6 score. The Mustangs displayed away better than average stick handling as a group, but lacked finish, and especially drfve &r- ound the goal mouth. Many times when they had the puck in the very

Life in Poland, in the second winter of occupation, is of increasing sever- ity. There is little to eat. The only foodstuffs in shops are bread, potatoes, linseed oil for cooking. There is nei- ther butter nor margarine. There is neither fruit nor fish. There is almost no meat. Yet in spite of all privations and persecutions, Polish resistance is growing.

High Commissioner To Canada

MALCOLM MacDONALD

SON OF RAMSAY MacDONALD HIGH COMMISSIONER

TO CANADA

Mr MacDonald is 40. He has been in the cabinet in various capacities since 1935. For three years he was secret- ary of state for the Dominions and be- fore attaining full cabinet rank was under-secretary for the Dominions tor tour years.

He has been a member of the house of commons since 1929 and it is und- erstood authority will be sought to en- able him to retain his seat.

Some twenty years ago Mr Mac- Donald was one of an English Debat- ing Team which toured Canada. They visited Calgary in their tour, and Mr MacDonald then a very young man made a vivid impression by his abil- ity in debate, and rebuttal.

jaws of the goal, they could not find the net, even though playing six men forward towards the latter part of the game, Strathmore’s play was helped a good deal by Koch who seemed to put more spirit in the boys, the old idea of having someone you can count on showing itself clearly. Strathmore’s scores were made by Koch (5), Mor- gan, Kimmett (2) Crellin. There were very few penalties, and a_ decidedly clean game. Since the weight was much more evenly divided than it us- ually is, this factor probably had much to do with the clean play. Strathmore fans were quick to notice that the boys took advantage of their team mates in going down the ice far more than they have been wont to do, and look forward to an even greater dis- Play of team play before they get to the playdowns,

The Dominion Government will soon be considering its wheat policy for this coming crop. What should the Government do? My own personal op- inion is that the Government should purchase the entire wheat crop what- ever size it might be.

There will be a sale in Canada and abroad for about 240 million bushels, requiring a crop of 300 million, so tha cost to the Government will only be for the excess, if any, over 300 mil- lion bushels,

Should there be an excess it would, of course, add to the sise of the pre- sent surplus, but my own belief is that this would be a great blessing, for it is far better to have an abundance, even a super-abundance of wheat in War- time, than to run the risk of a scar- city, for no one can foresee the future.

THE FINISHING TOUCH has been given to the Libyan empire of Mus- solini by the capture of Bengasi, with the Italians left with the remaining vestige of their sway in Libya in Tri- poli, to which what is left « of their army, together with Marshal Graziani are fleeing. All that Italy has built up

in Africa, including her latest acquis- |

With the cap- ture of Bengasi the British are left to consolidate their gains in Libya and to in Eritrea, Italian Somaliland, and Eth- jopia.

ORNAMENTAL HEDGES

Dominion Experimental Station

One of the most effective types of tree planting is the hedge. It has a beauty of line all its own which can be modified as desired by trimming

The most common gervice of a nedge is to act as a boundary to pro- perty and to set it off in the same way that the frame on a picture adds to the effectiveness of the picture itself. One thing that has to be guarded ag- ainst in choosing a proper site, is that the cart does not come before the horse, or in other words, that the hedge does not become the centre of attraction rather than the property as awhole. To prevent this from happen- ing, the hedge must be properly plac- ed so as not to obscure other desir- able features.

Large hedges often add to beauty by serving as a screen for hiding oth-

“There were no auto- was

I put sails on an old broken-down C.P.R. handcar every night, and the wind blew around so strongly around Macleod that it would blow me over to my sweetie’s house at the rate of a mile a minute,”

“What did you do when the wind blew in the other directieon?” counter- ed Ernie Whiteside,

“Oh, that was easy,” said D, A. “I just went the opposite direction and called on another girl.”

It is fitting that the hamiet of Nightingale, which bears the name of a great pioneer nurse, should be ac- tive in Red Cross work. Both in the Great War and in the present crisis, the women of the district have respond

Mr Crowe has carried on the har- hess and shoe repair of Strathmore for the past 12 years or so. but owing to the horse being superseded by thre tractor, truck and car the harness business has become almost non-exist- ant, hence his decision to seek larger fields.

Its title is “Changes and Readjust- ments in Manitoba Cropping Prac- tices,” but it has equal significance for residents of Saskatchewan and Alberta, The following is an abstract of the authors’ introductory state- ments:

In view of the present wheat prob- lem, this is an opportune time to encourage seeding down grasses and legumes,

Manitoba farmers have been grain mining their soil too long. Older countries have had to maintain a high percentage of their land in grasses and legumes in order to pro- tect their soils. Manitoba farmers must follow this same policy or their soils will be ruined. Serious drifting

over much of the province, sheet erosion and gullying of the undula- ting lands are only foretastes of more severe erosion yet to come.

Here endeth the quotation.

It is an interesting fact that, until quite recently, lectures and articles on crop rotations were considered to be of academic interest only. We be- lieved that our prairie province soils were so abundantly fertile that they would never wear out. Now, we know

better. Vitamin B,

Much publicity has recently been afforded vitamin B, as a stimulator of plant growth. Dr. E. J. Kraus, of the University of Chicago, in an ad- dress before a joint meeting of the American Society of Agronomy and the Soil Science Society of America, on December 5, stated that most of the publicity was “just plain bunk.”
