“The n at in it's record-breaking trite-at surplus is nrvzv so big that if farmers quit growing the crop al- togeziter, bulging sltz'pl'rs bins would meet l'nited States‘ domestic needs for more than two years beginning in the summer of 1959. Americans cort- sume about 600 million bushels of wheat 'a year in food, animal feed. seed and industrial uses. Agriculture Department officials estimate that the surplus carry-over from 1958 and earlier crops will be abottt 1,300,000 bushels next July let, the beginning of the marketing season for the 1959 crop.

“Total yearly sales of United Sta- tes’ wheat, including exports which are all subsidized by the (lovertttttent, amount to about 1 billion bushels a year. Thus, even if Government of- frt‘tals and private traders contitttrcd to r wheat into

A somewhat similar situation ex- lsts in Canada. although the per cap. ita figure maybe slightly less. lit the old days. the s‘arving people of Asia did not know about these things. But now, with modem means of communi- cation they are kept pretty well in- formed. How bitter their thoughts must be when they hear of public con- troversy over the problem of how to get rid of the surpluses? The Wonder is that they are as friendly with the West as they are.

A Good Name

Alaska, like (‘anada's North- land. is rich in natural resources and short of domestic capital to ex- ploit tltem. A report from Anchor- age states that the new State's 18 banking institutions—7 Federal and 11 territorial-have total deposits of only $170 million. This is enough to "100? only a small fraction of the loan demands expected as the ter- ritory takes up the mponsibilities and privileges of statehood.

However, Alaska has one very valuable pixel-«ion. apart from rich ma'et'ial resources—a good name. The President of the First National tank in Seattle, \l‘ashington. said recently: “We have made I lot of screwball, high risk loans in Alaska. but we haven't had them go sour on us. I attribute this to the fact that Alaskans in general are of an energetic, industrious. imaginative and corttplotely honest nature." A people wtth that kind of reputation will hate rto trouble to obtain money for development, especially in view of tire fact that Alaska to day is considered the first line of defence of the l'nited States.

What does the poet say? “Ill fares the land. to hastening ilLs I prey, where wealth accumulates and men decay." Happily. that can- not be said of the sovereign State of Alaska. Nor. from all accounts. can it be said of Canada's North- land-

Health Checkup For Christmas?

By Herm- N. Bandeau. MD.

STILL have I 0000ie 0‘ 1"" minute Christmas presents to get? Well. let me give you A few aunt-adorn.

How about giving those adults closest to you the benefit of 'I thorough physical checkup? Don t Just give them the money to pay for it—It is too easily spent on something else—but call up their doctor and make an appointment. Or. perhaps I complete can- cer examination can be arrang- ed. I have advised you previous— ly what an examination such as this should include. ' Now. I know you are saying to yourself: “What I silly pres- ent? Who would appreciate any- thing like that?"

.\'0 BETTER GIFT

You know. you would be sur- prised. Can you think of I bet- ter gift than I clean bill of health. And what better way to determine that you are perfec— tly healthy—or that you need treatment—than by I good check- u ‘.' pMost of us just naturally put off going to a doctor. especially if there appears to be nothing wrong. Yet there is considerable rehef. more peace'of mind when you know you are okay. HEARING AID

If there is someone hard of hearing on your gift list. how about arranging for I hearing aid? You can't order any spa crftc model. of course. but you can provide the money and th- centive for someone to arrange to get one \\‘ll‘!‘h ftls his needs. For that matter. how about I set of contact lenses for some one who can use and wants them? PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS Thew are very practical sug- gestions for gifts that will show how deeply you feel about those near and dear to you. Tltc~c are gifts that are remembered when others are apt to be forgotten.

Of course we don‘t want to for. :et the kids Attv of tlte gifts l 'tate mentioned are as IV tirnpriate for children if the need and desire is present.

WHEN BUYING TOYS

As for toys. Inswer these four questions before buying any.

1. Will the toy interest the child at his age and stage of develop- ment’

2. Will he enjoy it over I per- iod of time?

3. Is It built of good material and sturdily constructed?

4. In It free from dangerous elements?

Okay. now go ahead and com- plete your shopping.
