"For some time past," Mr. Gar- diner said. “the British Ministry of Food has been seriously cofi- ccrned as to whether the tire- ounce ration, which goes int-o effect Jan. 5. can be maintained.

"In view of this, the British Ministry of Food recently ap- proached the Canadian Govern- ment concerning obtaining larger. quantities of bacon in 1947 and 1948 and offered to increase the contract price."

The 1947-49 bacon agreement calls for the shipment of 350,000.- 000 pounds in I947 and 400,000,000 in 1948. Shipments in 1940 totalled about 285,000,000 pounds.

To maintain the two-ounce ra- tion. Brltsin will need a minimum of 286.000.0011 pounds in 1947. But, Mr. Gardiner said, she is anxious‘ to get the full 350,000,000 called for in the agreement with s view to

boosting the ration back to its wartime level of four ounces a week.

The new price is far higher than‘ that of the first wartime bacon _grcement in 1999-40, when Bri- tain paid $18.01 per hundredweight. The next year. tho price dropped to 010.82.

Molested in q Antl - ll. S. Demonstration

SHANGHAI, Jen. 1 — (AP) _ Several Americans, including an army lieutenant and an Associat- ed Press ltlotographer, were mol- ested today ln a particularly ve- hement anti-American demonstra- tion by 1.000 Chinese university students.

A lieutenant, walking with a girl on Avenue Joffre in the former Hench Concession, was assailed by paraders who struck him over the head with light bamboo canes. They also tried to pull off the girl's clothing and shouted obscenltles. .

An Associated Press photo- BFB-Pher forcibly was prevented from taking pictures by demons- trators who blacked one of his eyes and beat him on the back

Some posters in the bund were particularly offensive. They bore the two words "bitchl bitchl". -They were taken as an oblique but pointed insult to womenfolk. of military personnel who pass! that thoroughfare to and from! Broadway mansions, one of the‘ main hotels for service men and their families.

American soldiers and sailors visibly exercised great restraint as paraders $100k fists and shouted "Bet out. you beasts!"

"Get out or we'll throw ybu out" and "China is not an Aim- erican colony" read two of their banners. They placarded build- ings, buses. trucks and even priv- ate automobiles.

A leaflet distributed in the name of National China Univers- ity here accused Americans of "beating and cheating our hon- est traders and coolies; violating and abusing our decent women.’

The demonstration was a flare- up of similar student parades at Peiplng. Tientsin and I-iongltew during the week-end. They orig- inated in Chinese accusations that two United States Marines raped a Chinese girl but later generally were attributed to anti-American sentiment, inspired in part by Chinese Communist propaganda against United States help to the Nanking Government.

Shakespearian Stars Shiver In Ottawa Weather

(By Kay Rex)

OTTAWA." Jan 2—(CP)-Dona1d Wolfit, one of Britain's top-notch Shakespe-arian stars, wrapped his heavy: camel's hair coat more tightly around him, shlvered, and said he had come prepared for "the Canadian winter."

Although she carried her fur coat, blonde Rosalind Ideii. whom critics have described as "Shake- speare's leading lady," had her feet encased in heavy snow-boots.

The B8 other members of the British Theatre Company. which arrived today from Britain to open s. six-weeks Canadian tour here M011’ l, clapped furred mitts over ears to protect them from frost- bite when they met reporters at the station.

llurses Bravely Health B

(By Kenneth C. Crsgg)

UITAWA. Jan. i—There's Mer- garet Pailent up at Probisher Bay, which is stlil up and beyond Hud- son Straits, and Minnie Beckett up in Whitehorse and some odd 15 nurses of the Indian Health Services scattered in between.

And put 1Q to them mart-tc-rnan even long-service officials cf the division cannot really explain why girls will hire out for duly in these posts unless they want to live more dangerously, have an iii- lense love for mankind that en- compasses Indians and Eskimos or want to work some place where they cannot; spend their wager which are slightly higher than the rates paid for comparable work tiown from the North. ,

But whatever the reason, the Division Deputy, Dr. W. L. Fal- coner. says with fervor and in har- mony with the season: "God bless them all and we need some more."

Wer's Wake of‘. Casualties

The department's nurses are essentially public health nurses who would rather imntunioa’ a pa- pocse any day than nurse 'him through a bout of diphtheria In that connection. it should be re- called that the war had its effect on the native people up north and left a wake of casualties-of In- dian and Eskimo children who died of contagion taken into the region by the men who built the Alaska Highway and manned the Arctic glrstrips.

The children, who had no nat- ural immunity from measles, whooping-cough and other contag- i-ons regarded as minor illnesses outside, were just as dead as if they had been killed by bombs.

Famed Typhoid Mary was no more and probably less dangerous than the young American airman who was coming down with whoop- ing-cough and didn't know it, at Fort Chimo where Quebec rubs the Arctic.

ltsltlnio Children Die

The Americans gave a party and 24 Eskimo children under one year died-and one white, child of the post factor.

Service!

Departmental nurses, ganging up with Hudson Bay factors and their families, or maybe other nurses of mission hospitals and the heads of the missions, or may- be with members of the R.C.M.P. detachment or maybe all together in one large family party for Christmas festivities, would prob- ably laugh or look uncomfortable if one talked to them of service.

It ls a bet that Minnie Hackett would." Miss Hackett was a VAD in the last war. an English girl, came out here and trained at St. Boniface Hospital outside of Win- nipeg, spent years in the north and went; back up three years ago-

There is a story that the mill- tary services are in charge of I-n- stallatlons up around Whitehorse but there are others who know perfectly well they are wrong. Minnie Hackett is in charge around there—whether she is on lier rounds by car, plane, riverboat or dog-team, or wheedling car repairs from RCAF or army mechanics.

. ,l\‘irst Nuns at Mlsetaaslnl |

Carmen Drouin, born 2B yea" ago at Beauport, Que, was the first nurse at Mlsstassini Lake. which is up in the Central Quebec watershed area. The division built a nursing station there last sum- mer. The Indians took out the logs and peeled them and the div- ision flew in the windows anti doors.

Her assistant was Alice Trapper, an Indian girl. who had been train- ed by the nursing sisters at Ln- tuquc as far as her education would carry her and Alice acted also as interpreter.

During last summer tlie pair immunized the band of some 540 Indians of that region against diphtheria. vaccinated them. gave them shots of anti-typhoid and as part of the experimental work that is being done in Canada against tuberculosis, established q central group and gave them the new anti-TB serum.

Services of Wide 500M .

Before they flew out prior to the freeze-up-the band goes out on the trap lines during the win- ter-they had cleared up most c1 the tribe's scabies, and implanted the seed of pro-natal and post- natal care in the minds of the women. A bulky file gives evi- dence of almost innumerable ser- vices.

Not having heard of the drui- less practitioner-even their own medicine men combine potions with magic-most of the Indians and lhkimos even far back are in- terested in ' "o" M111 i" objective and the department says few actively oppose the ides.
