Cutting Fertilizer Costs

1,; my be a pre-election gesture,_ but there in no doubt that Quebec farmers will appreci- ate the announcement by Premier Godbout that in a “very short time" the price 0f artificial fenilizgf5 in Quebec pr0vince_w0u1d undergo a radical cut. At the present time these fertil- it“; afg selling s: $35 a ton, whereas it is claimed that farmers should not have to pay more than $20. g _ _ _

"The nationalization of electricity is a first step," Premier Godbout stated. “\\'e have not in the province of Quebec any real industry of artificial fertilizers. The Canadian lndus- [in Liflcd buys the ingredients and prepares them. Now the most costly ingredient is nitro- gen. 1t is obtained h_v isolating it from the air by 11163115 of electricity, “TC shall SEC l0 it that farmers get fertilizers at the lowest price.‘ This will be done either by supplying €lCCfflClly at iioiniiml cost to a private ‘industry wishing t0 engage h producing fertilizers, or by encour- aging the creation of production cooperatives. And if it cannot be managed either by private initiative or by cooperative means, the Covern- mcnt itself will take over the enterprise.’

Aviation Development

The growth of aviation in Canada has been phenomenal in the past few years, as is shown by the report of the president of the Trans- Canada .-\ir Lines. Last year the number of passengers carried, apart from the Atlantic ser- vice, was 140,276, an increase of 34 per cent over the previous year. The increase in the volume of mail was still more marked, no less than 3,713,607 pounds being carried, or 61 per cent reater than in the year i942. During last year 963,786 miles were flown, 1,274,884 more than in the previous year. The trans-Altantic service, designed by the Government to facilit- ate mail deliveries to and from Canadian forces overseas, to move important cargo and carry official passengers, began last July with a single Lancaster aircraft modified for transport duty. The traffic is continually increasing, the dis- tance across the ocean being approximately 3.090 miles, accomplished in a little over eleven hours in non-stop west-east flights. Mail weights some- times exceed seven thousand pounds on these

trips. .\Iost of the business done at present is. of cotnaw. of a military character, but the facilities

are available for civil use when the time comes. .-\ huge traffic may be confidently anticipated

Base Of Attack

mans four years ago, is now the perfect base for the western attack on Hitler's Europe. The

tremendous operations now being launched. Here, close to the Continent and within easy flying distance of llmerous German airfields, there were accumulated millions of fighting men and immense supplies of the machines of war in preparation for the attack across the Channel. The tight little isle has been tighter than it ever was before, overcrowded Wllll troops and jammed with armored cars, tanks, guns of all sizes, and other equipment. What the civilian population must have been thinking, as this the greatest military base that was ever created. went through its amazing development! Men in training over every countryside. Realistic manoeuvres of powerful motorized military forces. The towns and villages filled with men in the uniforms of Britain, Canada, the United States and other allied countries.

From this island, the attack was begun months ago, of course, by the heavy bombers. The squadrons of Allied airmen went out every night or every day and returned to this base—-most of them, but not all. The intensity of the b0inb- ing of enemy objectives increased almost un- believably as the day for the land invasion ap- proached. There were airdromes everywhere throughout the country and hundreds of thou- sands of airmen quartered near them.

When the Allied forces become established on the French coast and gain control of har- bors like Le Havre and Clierbourg, troops and supplies from this side of the Atlantic can be landed on the continent direct. Meantime. Bri- tain has served marvellouslv as the base where complete preparations could be made for the invasion, into which Britain herself is putting all that she has.

This is s reminder of the fact that we have apparently reached a deadlock in negotiating with the Dominion Government for exitension of the Charlottetown airport runways. Who is responsible for this state of affairs, and what have our federal representatives being doing in _ the matter?

Sa natoria Problems

The number 0f beds in use in Canadian san- iitoria increased 10.7 per cent while staff de- creased 5.1 per cent in the first four years of the war. This and many other interesting facts are set out in a review supplied by Mi‘. _I. C. Brady, chief of the institutional Statistics branch of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and bas- ed on four animal reports of Tuberculosis 1n- stitutioiis.

When the sanatorittm doctors and nurses look back on the war years they will not remember the percentages. They may even forget lioiv many nurses and doctors they were short, but they will not iforget the strain and stress of trying to "spread thin" so as to keep up the standard of work with 86 per cent of staff, by PFC-Will‘ standards. Nor do the figures tell the whole story since the quota of graduate nurses is much lower, having been replaced in many instances by ward aids and nurses‘ assistants.

Another fact which stands out in thc report is that despite xi 10.7 per cent incrczis: in Séllllt- toriuiii beds this country is still far short of whzil it should have since there are still nearly twice no inony deaths from tuberculosis outside the sanatoria as in them. Between 3.5000 and 4,000 people arc still dying yearly at home.

\Vhcn one considers that dying patients are only a fraction of those with tuberculosis, and that in addition to the many who died at home there arc thousands ill in their home. it brings one face to fart with the major need in the fight against tnberculosis~8.000 more beds.

An encouraging sign of the times is the ef- forts which are being made to meet this short- age. The addition to the Provincial Sana- toriiim in Charlottetown is a case in point. In Ontario, the Provincial Government has agreed to contribute $125,000 towards the building of a new sanatorium at Kingston and a similar sum towards an addition to the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium. The remainder of these costs of loo-bed units in each of these centres is to be made up by the local areas to be served. i

In Saskatchewan the sum of $252,000 is be- l ing set aside to provide for extensions to the Prince Albert Sanatorium and the Sanatorium at Fort (._)ll'.'\])]‘|Cll(‘.
