Rural Diets Survey

In August of this year a survey of food eaten by families living on farms in the Mari- time Provinces was begun. The survey, which is being conducted jointly by the Dominion De- partments of Agriculture and Health and Wel- fare, and by the Departments of Agriculture

and llt-alth of the three Maritime Provinces, is the initial part of a Camatla-ivide investiga- tion of the kinds and quantities of food con- sumed, and produced for home consumption, on farms and of the food habits of the farm peo- ssle in different parts of the country.

The reasons for the survey are: to ascer- tain the possibilities of increasing the sale of the farm products raised in certain parts of Catiada to farm families living in other areas; to learn how much of various foods are raised and consumed on farms in order that those quantities may be included in national produc- tion accounts, and may be taken into consider-

ation in the planning of production of food

for use in Canada, and for export; to find out how well nourished the different groups of farm families are, in the light of the most recent knowledge of nutritional needs, since measures for improvement can only be under- taken when it is known how diets are influ- enced by factors such as region, family com» position, training of farm operator, size of ferin business.

Representative sriees of Nova Scctie isi the Counties of Cumberland, Halifax, Kings, Lunen- burg, Queens and Richmond were chosen es tlie scene of the project in that province. lt is expected that the work there will be com- pleted by the erid of September, and that at that time the survey will be started i; Prince lbw-led Isisnd esid New Brunswick.

Meet Rationing

Qjeelees to rsieet rationing have esiien- eled from ell per-ts of Canede, including our locel wholeeele and retail meet dealers. It is jiiet es well that the whole problem should be fully sired, end thet both sides of the ques- tioe be understood. The following comment from the Hamilton Spectator is e fair index to public opinion in many quarters: It would ap- pear that many of the snags now encounter- ed might have been avoided by more skilful pleasing. As it is, we are witnessing e stand- erd poltioel dog fight between the Government end the trade, and it is not an inspiring or in illuminating one.

The consumer is not saying much; he lieevft much to soy about it snywey. The over- ell need-it is more than e need; it is an urgent demand 5.. to get meet to the hungry people of Europe, not only out of purely humanitarian motives, but as insurance against the horrors Of scerveelosi and epidemics that might sooner or later strilse us as it would strike others; for the world grows evcr smaller, more interknit, more interdependent.

That is the important thing, and quite ndturaliy the consumer would feel it s. small sacrifice to ensure that, as fer as he was con- cerned, everything possible was being done to increase the flow of meat across the seas to people who are so desperately in need of it.

This is one viewpoint; the other hits closer to home. If there have been gaps and errors in the technical organization of meat rationing, they should be remedied, and remedied at once. There will be general sympathy with the butch- ers and the penalties they suffer; they should not be aggravated by government mistakes.

Britain's Fish Supplies

Fish is the one important food of which there is any prospect of an increase in supply in Britain in the tieztr future. Faced ivith a short- age of other footls, especially of first-class pro- tt-Yn ltwtls stich as meat and cheese, the United Kingdom ljovernineirt is doing its utmost to restore fish supplies to near their pre-wer level h the shortest possible time.

In 1038, there were about 3,800 first-class Ilniletl liingtlum fishing vessels of all kinds, landing 1,0.tt),000 tons of fish, of which 271,000 tolls were herrings. Britain then imported about 100,000 tons of fish, and exported 219,- 000 tons, (mainly pickle-cured herrings). The quantity consumed by the people of Britain vvtis thus <)o7,0ot> lOllS, or a little under a pound per head per week.

When ivar canto in 1939, the Admiralty took away for-mine-sxticeping and other wir service the best part of the fishing fleet, in- eluding all the largest, newest and fastest ves- sels. By 194x, landings from British vessels had fallen to 250,000 tons, about a quarter of those of pre-ivar. Imports of fresh fish, mainly from Iceland anrl the Faroes, and of frozen and salted fish, mainly from Canada, Newfound- land and Iceland, had gone up to 182,000 tons, but, evcn so, the total supplies available were only 40 per cent of those of I938.

After I041, conditions somewhat improv- etl. Reduced enemy action and the removal of the itivasirm threat permitted some relaxations of the fishing restrictions. and steps were taken to increase imports. As a restilt, I944 sup- hlies were about hall those of prc-ivar years. Qn the other ltanrl. rts other fonds became in-

high patronage bestowed upon the union of two children in nonage gives some idea

still greater es time goes on. By the end of the year, it is possible that supplies will be about three-quarters of those of 1938. The winter, however, always brings a fall in landings, and therefore not until th_e Spring or early summer of next year will the people of Britain be able to get ell the fish they need.

The craze for popularity, and even notor- iety, so prevalent at the close of these war-torn days, may be discouraging to the student and thinker. It has been the lot of artists in all ages to live in a garrct, to fashion their vision, out of the flames of their hearts, and to die en- riching a world that too often scorned them and

their way of life.

According to an Admiralty statement, floating airfields in mid-ocean and even float- ing highway bridges across such waters as the English Channel ere now technically possible.

Italy's Colonies

By Dewitt MacKenzle (Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst.)

The United Btetu proposal, now before the Big Five council of Foreign Ministers in mndon. that

Italy's colonies be placed under international trusteeshi of the United Nations looks 1 e a mas-

ter stroke in the interests of world peace.

The Mediterranean theatre is one of the most important zones strategically on the face of the globe. Throughout centuries the country or alliance which had the upper hand in the Mediter- ranean alao has had a mighty grip on Europe. The blue waters of this great sea have contained the elements of both peace and war- to be conjured up to suit the de- sire of the power in control. That lsiss true today as it was before the Hitler-tan conflict produced enoclial changes.
