Mrs. Durocher, Windsor, On. taric, was elected National Pre- sident of the“ Catholic Women‘: League of Canada at the 28th na- tional convention which was held in Calgary in November, 1948. A native of Siraiford, Ontario, Mrs. Durocher received her education In Loretta Academy in that city. Following her graduation she ent- ered St. Joseph’: Hospital In Chatham, Ontario, where she com- pleted her course in nursing.

The shortage of Public Health Nurses during the war years, and since called Mrs. Durocher into the field of nursing. A: the short- age still exists she continues to five devoted service to her work in this line in the Windsor Voca- tional School, and the Safety Po- trcl of separate and public schools. Besides the usual civic society works, she is active in St. John Ambulance nursing, first aid teaching and all Red Cross work.

Mrs. Durocher has attained the

highest office in tho National Council, a recognition of the splendid contribution sh: ha:

made, through the years to Lea- gue endeavours. Sub-division, dio- cesan and provincial activities have been as solid stepping stones. Davin! the way to the wider out- look and work of national and in- ternational objectives. During the past few years, Mrs. Durocher has filled the office of the several national vlce-presldencies. As con- vener of social service and inter- national relations, it has been evi- dent thut both these causes were advanced. through the actlv: in- terest and diplomacy of Mrs. Durochcr.

The members of the League in this Province are looking forward with plensurnble anticipation to meeting the National President.

set. at only 60 per cont instead of lut year's 90 per cent of ‘parity.’

On the other hand, thl! W!" us. crop, by official Department of Agriculture estimate: a: 0! Aug, 1, will be close to I) pct‘ 00M smaller than lint year':. Total 194.8 production in thia countf! W" 445,850,000 bushels and the estim- ate for this year i: only 362.53%

000.

Th: writer also fails to mention. Canadian source: point 011$. m" the 10.000.000-bushel import of D0- minion potatoes last year took place, not only over the U5. tar- ii’.f wall but despite an export wi- trol program set up by the Can- adian Government itself. under In agreement with the U5. FY9711" rnent which became effective last November and which was not dis- continued until June.

Under the Canadian export con- trol program. the Dominion insti- tuted an export license system and agreed to lice only shipment: of seed potatoes, the license: to be based on assurance: b! U3- 1m" porters that the potatoes would b: used only for seed and not for table consumption.

laflmah Clrrlil

Canadian on: ha: 14m- w! that policing of such m: after rl- ceipt of the potatoes in this coun- try was a U8. and not a Canadian responsibility. Th: same ammo: add, however, that, while official figure: are not immediately avail- able, th: Post writer’: estimate that shipment: reached a total of 10,000,000 bushel: probably is not far wrong.

Revival of last year’: Canadian export control system ha: not boon discussed between th: twoigovern- ments for this year.

The Post writer makes a point of the advantages gained by Can- adian grower: by "smulfllflf" the" product across the border.

"Border patrol: pick up leldl constantly along the Mains front- ier," h: says, "and many more are being trucked to other points, of- ficials ldmit.

“In fact, certain type: of trucks i." referred to a: ‘Bmllliler trucks.’ They are old-timerc, mod- al: earlier than 1939. Old mwhlllfl are used because thoy are forfeit- ed if caught."

Canadian source: declare that most of tho smuggling is done by U.S. citizens, who stand to gain most from it. They are the only ones who can sell the potatoes to the US. government, it is olnted out, and the only ones w o can mix the canaaian- product with their own, to cover its origin.

From the Aroostook are: in Maine. tho Post writer says:

"Every potato man her: com- plains about thia Canldlan comw- tition. But they themselves ar: on- couraging it. Here’: what Kingdom Herve , editor od th: Port Pair- field boviow, told hi: reader: in the heart of th: Maine potato country last week:

" ‘A paradoilcal (and rather am- using) situation i: that of the Aroostook grower who ha: been hollering blue blaze: about bow the importation of Canadian pot:- ‘toe: ha: infurld the American market.

" ‘In many use: he i: the came person who wont into Canada to buy hi: own seed thl: spring. Th: excuse was that it cost about O1 a hundrodwckht less.’ "
