OTTAWA. Dee. 1.0 - (C?) — The government announced today it has restricted intporia of liye poultry and hatching eggs in an attempt to keep Canada free of Newcastle disease, a virus ailment often fatal to poultry. Live chickens, turkeys. Pigeons. fowl or other birds raised under ‘omestic conditions will be pro- hibited entry unless their import 1| lf-‘Mlmhied by proper veter- tnsrv certificates. The Agriculture Department. making the prohibition under au- thority of the Animal Contagious Dltelse Act. said certificates that the birds are free of the disease must be signed by a veterinarian of the national government of the country of origin. The order also applies to birds which may have been exposed to the respiratory infection.

Although a few outbreaks of Newcastle disease already have been identified in Canada, these now have been stamped out, the department said.

DETROIT. Dec. 16 —(AP) — A $500,000 fire swept a plant of the Ford Motor Company's big Rouge factory last night, destroyed met- erials for 200 automobiles.

The blaze was brought under con- trol after an hour's fight by l5 fire companies from Desrbcrn, De- troit and the Ford Company.

Labor Earnings -

(B? The Canadian Press)

UITAWA. Dec. 1 —Retroa.ctive increases paid to railway employ- ees during September boosted the earnings of labor for the month to an estimated $651,000,000 from $604,000,000 in August, the Bureau of Statistics reported today. It was during September that the two main railways paid their employees a lump-sum retroactive increase of $31,000,000. covering the period from Maren 1 to July 31.

During the nine-month period ended Sept. 31, labor income tot- ulled 55.142.000.000, compared with $4.470,000,000-—an increase of 15 per cent.

The rail increase was reflected not only 1n employees engaged in operation of railroads and their shipping services, but also work- ers in locomotive and repair shops, hotels and a. number of smaller establishments.

Idle Chatter Passes Dull Air-lift Hours

BY GEORGE BltiA WIESBADEN, Germany, Dec. 16 - (AP) — Frying the air-lift route to Berlin is a dreary task for the men who pilot the ‘huge transports.

An occasional break in the lone- liness comes with chatter over the radio - it's officially taboo but the boys indulge just to break the monotony. .

A 0-47 flying to Berlin reported its position as it passed over Brunswick.

"This is Little Willie at 0-500 feet."

"This is Big Willie at ‘L500 feet," came the next report a moment later from a 0-54.

"This is Big William..." the next voice intoned.

"You mean Bu Willie, don't you?" interrupted an airman.

“I said Big William." the voice replied maicoticaily. "This is a C-74.

Laughter swept the chain of planes stretching over the Soviet zone to Berlin. The weary haul‘ of the night seemed a little less interminable.

There was a deep silence over the Russian zone one night. The drone of the engines magnified the loneliness. Suddenly a plaintive voice rang through the cargo planes: "Won't

FOr those who are entitled to use this new form, it is to be used for reporting 194a income and must be filed 0n or about April 30, 1M0.

Provinces Ponder Margarine Problem

(By The CanadiI-n Pres!)

Canada's Provinces are ponder- ing whether to take steps affect- lng the manufacture and. sale of oleomargarme within their own borders. '

It. now i5 legal to make sud sell margarine in Canada and, unless individal Provinces move to bar the butter substitute it is expect- ed to go on sale early next month. S-o far. no Province has com- mitted itself on its intentions 1n regard to margarine. Constitutional authorities in Ot- tawa say that the Provinces have the right to adopt legislation pro- hibiting manufacture and sale of margarine u/ithin their own boun- daries. They cannot forbid ln\- portation from another Province -—the British North America Act stipulates that there must be free trade between the Provinces-but a ban on the sale of margarine u-ithin a Province would have tilt same effect.

Premier McNair of New Bruns- wick could not be reached for comment on his Province! attit- ude. Nor were Nova. Scotirs AB- rlcult a Department spokesmen avails 1e in Halifax, where store- keepers predicted sale _of margar- ine would start "early in 1040." Quebec officials declined com- merit until they had read the text of the Supreme Court of Canada judgment permitting manufacture and sale of margarine.
