Rollo-u 0N run FARMERS

I

The recent drop of Zlé cents a pound in Island creamery butter on the Sydney market, attributable directly to heavy importatioris of I New Zealand butter landed in bulk at Halifax and retalled in 2 pound packages in competition with the homeproduct, has given our farmers! food for serious thought. The wholel, sale price of the imported article being below the winter produc- fonner can be offered to the con- sumer at a price always slightly be- low the price of Canadian butter while at the same time providing a larger margin of profit to the dealer. The temptation thus offered to con- sumer and dealer of profiting at the expense of the home producer is in- creased by the fact that in some eases at least the imported article is? retailed simply as “buttei~"-not as New Zeland butter; and that in the absence of any indication on the wrapper of the place of origin when Iold in this way. it can readily be passed off as Canadian butter. ‘Here we have a combination of circum- stances calculated to completely un- dermine the dairy interests of this country; a. combination against which our dairy organizations throughout Canada have protested repeatedly, _but which has been con- doned and applauded in the Liberzi press as evidence of the superior wisdom and stafesmanshlp of the Mackenzie King Government. Some of the arguments by which this con- clusion is arrived at, are curious and illuminating.

On one hand we are assured time and again in the Liberal press that New Zealand butter importations have not adversely affected the price of Canadian butter on the home market. On the other hand it is con- tended that an increase in the pres- ent low tariff “would create an ar- tificial market by the restriction of foreign trade" and that this change would be followed "by higher costs of living,"—-or in other words by higher prices to the home producer. Our dnlryrncn are thus given the two horns of the dilemma, and can chose whichever one they please The! may 57ml, their eyes and refuse to admit that their creamery butter has declined in price, or they may console themselves with the reflec- tion that but for the kindly offices of the King Government in giving Zezilaiid w their "lllfkel- tile)’ might have made too much money on the sale of their product!

our dairymen will note also how foolish they been to worry.- about unfair competition in the home market, when. according to the Lib- eral press, they have no home m“. ket. What they artlessly regarded a; such was in reality an "artificial market" which Hon. Mr. Bennett, with his pernicious policy of ngri- Clmllfal Protection. would “ci'cntc" for their particular benefib-there.

at the expense of the great masses 9f 0111' People." Since dairylng is the backbone of agriculture in Cﬂnada, and since upon agriculture depends much of our national prosperity, l: would seem that a logical way to begin enriching "the people" would be to encourage our dairymen. The K1118 Government and the Liberal Dff-‘l-B. hOWOVBF. take a different Vlfwlloint. The interests of Amerl. can manufacturers, whose branch factories in Canada are the principal benefactories under the Australian treaty. have to be cuddled and cater- ed to: and if in the process a basic Canadian industry comes to grief. so much the worse for it.

STATE PRICE FIXING

During the War Canada's news-

and made publishers pay exorbitant prices for the sinefu or" their busi- hm Newspaper! b! the hundreds

‘and got a. decision to the effect that

‘the paper manufacturers to fix the

were put out of business on account of the soaring price of newsprint. The newspaper publishers attempted to get a fair price agreed upon that would amply repay the paper manu- facturers and at the same time en- able newspapers to be published without extravagant loss. An ap- peal was made to the Government to bring newsprint under the wartime measure for the regulation of prices, but the paper manufacturers object- ed. appealed to the Supreme Court.

as a newspaper was not a necessity of life, the price of newsprint could not be controlled by the wartime measure. So upward moved the price till The Guardian was paying just four times higher for its raw material than it was before the war. and‘ the terms were cash on delivery. The mills were perfectly and even scnndalously independent. If the publisher was not satisfied with the price and terms he was told the mill ' had a. market for more than} it could produce F‘. O. B. the mill.’ And he could not change from one mill to another even to save freight. So the publisher had perforce to pay and look pleasant. It was mono- polist methods of doing business. and many of the paper manufacturers made immense fortunes, while, aslstat- ed. many of the newspaper publishers went to the wall stripped of their all. Today there is the inevitable re-action. The very. prosperity of the paper industry induced exten- sion and competition. with the result that today the output is greater than

the demand with a. conse- qnent threatened reduction in price. In the interest of the

stock holders of these mills. the Provincial Governments of Quebec‘ and Ontario stepped in last year, and l “by big stick" methods compelled‘

price to the publisher at an arbitrary figure. Now it is reported, these two governments desire to go a step far- ther in their false economics, and are said to be endeavoring to compel the; manufacturers to raise their prlce.' also in the interest of the stock ex- change investors. The Newsprint Committee of the Canadian Daily Newspaper Association has entered its Opposition to such attempt to estab- lish and increase a minimum price. The Newsprint Committee

The old men have seen the de- velopment of paper from wood fibre. and the speeding up of the produc-] tion and circulation of news papers and books, until the demand sweeps away the forest of a province in a day. They have lived to see the cities and towns that were so dark in their boyhood days, flash into brilliant light. before they themselves had lived out half their present years.

What a chapter of marvels 111959 old fellows hold in memory!

A BROAD HINT

The cntcrprisc and initiative of the Baxter Government in New Brunswick. as contrasted with the lack o! enterprise and initiative of the Saunders Government in this Pro- vince, has impressed the local Gov- ernment organ, which devotes an en- thusiastic editorial to the activities of Premier Baxter in developing New Brunswick resources and pos- sibilities. Is this to be construed as a broad hint to the Saunders Gov-

ernment that the time has gone by for loafing on the Job, and that in viewyof the progress which our

sister Maritime Provinces are mak-

ing. we can no longer continue mark- ing time without losing our position

in the ranks?’ The Guardian has repeatedly called attention to the activities both of the Baxter and the Rhodes Governments. hoping thera- bY l0 lMDlre Premier Saunders and his associates with the laudable de- sire to emulate them.

YOUR NORMAL WEIGHT

You read so often about the dan- gers of overweight that the danger of underweight is practically forgot- ten. . And unfortunately it_ is only too irue that Just where a littleextru weight would be of help to the body. that u during youth. young manhood and young womanhood. lt ls just the age at which our young folk en- deavor to keep their weight down, or to be pleased that they have slender graceful lilies.

Research men have been able to show that taking a fair or standard weight; for certain deﬁnite heights. um in folk up to the age of 4o, every pound below these weights means just one more chalice in a. hundred of that individual dying off.

The United States Public Health Service reports the results of a series of strength tests given to 400 or more men. aged from 20 to 34. The tests included a push, pull. hand grip. and lung force, for the various weight- height groups.

These tests showed that the men who were in what is called the ‘danger zone’ (that is ‘l per cent or more below the standard weight for height) showed an average for the bests that was 43 per cent below the normal. ‘

Those whose weightslplaccd them in the safety-weight zone (that i! average to 20 per cent abzive) were '1 per cent- above the average on the strength tests.

Now if you come from ‘thin’ stock. have a short body and long legs. you must not expect to carry the same weight as an individual with a long body and short legs, or with an aver- age length of body and legs.

However the height-Weight tables try to make allowance for thesedlf- ferent, types, and so a man 5 ft. 8 inches would have an average weight of 144 pounds. but the ideal weight for that height should not be less than 155 pounds. A man 5 feet ‘l inches, average weight is 132 pounds. but the ideal weight would be 145 pounds. For each inch above or below in men we add or subtract B or 0 pounds. _

A woman 5 ft. (inches the average ivelght is about 125 pounds. but the ideal would be not less than 130 pounds. In women. for each inch ubove orbelow this height, we add or subtract 5 pounds. »

Take a measurement of your height and weight. sce what type of phy- sique you possess. and figure out whether you are within the ideal or normal limits.

What IsASardine

This question is pertinent in the light

‘made in the British House of oom- ‘gdom by the Hon. w. a. Smith. Par- liament Secretary tothe Boa-rd of "nude. m reply-in atelier-member. m. Smith sald-thfoourto in Britain had decided that the name "sardine" could not lmiiy be walled to "lb "not really sardines." The product. he added. might be soldln England. but in that» event "sardine" mu“ be

ject involved is one of considerable econonmlc importance to Canada. Sardine fisheries constitute .ope of the~ moat flourishing industries in New Brunswick, and a profitable ex- port trad-e has been developed, The name “sardine" is applledto certain fish caught there and is permissible

the product is shlppedfand. indeed in all parts of the British Empire, ex- cept Great Britain and-South Africa. Britain will admit the Canadian pro- duct, but insists that "sardine" must be omitted from the wrapper. South Africa says thafﬁas soon as England sees fit to remove the restriction, she will do’ the same. The Parliamentary Secretary to the British Board of Trade insists that "the name sardine may be legally applied only to fish that are real sardines." Again, then. what is a sardine? If there are such fish. are some real, and others not so real?

The word “sax-dine" was originally
