Continued from page 1 bution. The leader did not appear before the committee.

Mr. Cunningham said that es l member of the committee. the be- lieved Mr. MacKinnon was in er- .ror.

"The leader of the Conservative Party did apnearmand I was greatly astonished that he replied he had ‘nothins to (flier and that it would take a lot of study.”

At this point, Mir. MecKlnnon rose to his feet. "I was a ember of that committee." he said, "and T believe I attended all sessions". If the Conservative leader had appeared it was. not while the committee was in session.

Mr. Cunningham: "The only time I have shaken the hand of the Conservative leader was in that oommi toe room if my mem- ory serves me correctly." Here the matter was dropped -

Alfldliltlifl Minister A. W. Mao-

ste (L-Cuysborolsnb) entered te spat when Mr. Cunningham referred to loss of the British market to the Nova sootls apple

industry.

w. Cunningham said British import-export figures showed Bri- tain lhad increased apple imports from New Zealand and Australia but had not bought one barrel from Nova Sootia. it was part of a Ieneral falling-off in trade.

Toxoid sllli Rated Top Diphtheria Preventive

Recent outbreaks of diphtheria in southern Alberta which neces- sitated the closing of schools and the banning of public meetings in some districts serve as a reminder that toxoid is still the perfect diphtheria preventive. it is stated by the Health League of Canada. There would have been no out- breaks had those ‘aflectied been properly immunised tluoiagh tox- oid injections.

It seems a pity, the Health League says, that in this suppos- edly enlightened day and age that diphtheria should still be talking toll in death and sickness when medical science has provided

immunizing agent. It is true that the Alberta outbreaks were isola- ted instances, bue it is hoped, the Health League says. that they will provide food for thought among the thousands of Canadian par- ents who have neglected to have their children immunized against preventable diseases such as Bffilll- pox. diphtheria, and whooping cough.
