Mr. Knight and Mr. Knowles backed the party's demand for irri- rnediste reimposition of price con- trols. Mr. Lairig said he believes that if Canada reimposed another full and complete set of control; it ”could well be the end of free en- terprise in Canada."

Mr. Bruneau urged payment of a pension to the disabled and calicd for establishment of a "youth de- partment" in the Government to constitute is vocational guidance school for needy young people.

Mr. Maltals said Canada” Al1'll.lF.l. play her part in the current inter- national crisis. He called for ad- option of a national flag.

Mr. Green said that Canada must step in and help end the war in Korea. she had not done her share in the war to date. The men num- ning Canadian destroyers in Korea and those handling R.C.A.F. planes on the Korean airlift were doing a magnificent lob. Credit also was due to men who volun- teered for meclai army brigade.

However, he said. that at the outset of the war the Government could have sent to Korea me of the trained battalions of the reg- ular army. Canada had missed an opportunity to stand beside the 11.5.. on whom she would have to depend for aid should this country be attacked. , '

He called for immediate action to strengthen the reserve army.

Temperatures In January Highest . in Eiglilegi Years

Txnperatures in the province during January this year were the highest of any January in eight- een years. it was learned yester- day afternoon from Mr. Warren Burns. Weather observer and Dec- Kwplns Fieldman at the Experi- mental station.

The mean temperature for the past month was 21.! degree, only 1-6 degrees below that of January, 1906. The Janu y. 1933 temperat- ure of 25.7 degrees was the high- est Janusury temperature on the records kept since 1910,

Until January 28 this year. a new temperature record was being set. The cold snap at the end of the month however upset the chances for a record. Only sit times since 1910 has the mean temperature for January been ov- or 24. degrees.

The January snowfall was three

and one half degrees below the snowfall of the same month in 1950. 23 1-2 inches of snow fell during the past month.

The highest January snowfall ever recorded here was in 1941 when 56 inches tell. The lowest

on the other hand was the lo inch snowfall in January, 1047.

snowfalls for the winter during the past four years have averaged about 84 inches. This seven feet of snow amounts to seven inches oi rain as ten inches of snow is equivalent to 1 inch of rain. Dur- ing the winter of 1981, the snowfall was 155 inches.

on nearly half the days in the run of a year it either snows or rains in this province. Mr. Burns stated. Rain or snow falls on an average ot”l65 days in the year.

During the past two years the bad weather days have fallen slightly below average. Rain or snow fell on 141 days in mo and 141 days in 1940.

The most rain talk during the last of the year in the four months from September to December. The lightest rainfall occurs during the months from April to July.

The heaviest rainfall per month on record was in September. 1942 when 12.42 inches of rain fell. On September 22 of that year the rainfall amounted to 8.45 inches.

Whitehall Noieboolt

By ALAN HARVEY

LONDON, Feb. 7 -- (CF) - A committee which spent two years studying its subject came up with the conclusimi that even if food is scarce in Britain, it can at least be clean.

Specifically. it recommended that it standard code of hygiene should be applied in more than 250,000 Bri-tisih cater-iin.g establish- mcnls serving 103,000,000 meal; and 171,000,000 snacks a week. The object would be to reduce the risk of' food poisoning from "eating ou

The proposals were made public

der chairman:-hip of Sir William Savage, former county health of- ficc.r.

Memibers suggested that the clean-food code, to be given legal sanction wherever possible, should aim at such things as clean, well- ligvhicd premises. plenty of hot and cold water. wash basins. to-wels. soap and lavsitories for the staff. two sinks or a dish-wuhing ma- chine for sterilizing dishes, a re- frigerator and safeguard: against flies. rats and mice.

standard Equipment

Most of the amenities mention- ed are standard equipment in a majority of British restaurams. But one of iihe things that strikes si casual visitor. particularly in London. is (tie abundance of poky. murky lilile cafes (”kaffs," the proprietors call them) where shal- low sandwiches and dripped cups confront a customer already in- timiidated by the hostei1'.V'l drab exterior.

There are many such places in the narrow lanes of! Fleet Street and even in Soho you may find that "cuisine frainoaise" .on the window merely means fish and chi-ps or meat sultxstiiute and two "veg", served in appropriately- dcpressing surroundings.
