the the U.S. government has lost nearly $2,100 million in milk price support. ,Jn_addition, nearly half a billion has been spent in providing low-cost milk to schools and institutions. In com- parison, the cost of supporting corn prices over the years has come to $1,- 900 million, with loss on the wheat ‘program totalling $1,400 million. Secretary Freeman is now trying to devise a new method of supporting dairy production, to bring it into bet- ter’ balance with supply.

The Conservative Government has put through im four years a legislative program probably unequalled-in any similar period in our history, It is doubtful if more could have been done, without unduly prolonging Par- liament’s sessions. It is equally sure that neither Liberal nor CCF nor Social Credit govern- ments could have done any bet- ter. In fact so wild were some of their promises during 1957 and 1958. election campaigns that no government could possibly have fulfilled them. :

HEART SAC INFECTION - B. R. writes: What is the out- look for a young -woman who has been in bed for two months with pericarditis? - REPLY

The outlook in this condition usually is good but the answer depends upon the reason why the sac surrounding the heart’ became irritated and filled with fluid. The outcome is better, for example, when pericarditis is caused by rbeumatic fever. than wheh it stems from tuberculosis.
