(LOSING CEREMONY

The centenary of the dogma that proclaimed the Virgin's Immacu- late Conception will be marked by the closing ceremony to be held ;n the basilica of St. Mary Ma- jar. when; the Pope in IND said his first this as a young priest.

This dogma estabushed the no- man Catholic belief that Mary. a'ono of mankind. was born with- rvit. the blot of Adam and Eve's original sin in the garden of Eden.

The Marian Year has been close 'n the heart of the Pope and those riose to him say he is sorely dis- appointed that his illness will pre- sent. his attendance at the final ceremony.

The federal policy on eggs be- came another issue. With egg prices failing sharply, producers have appealed to the government to enforce its egg support pro- g;nm. and announce at once what in support price will be a year .':nm now. Under the federal program. the government has agreed to buy all r n-plus eggs in storage Dec. 1 at an cents a dozen for grade A-large.

Conference delegates observed that prices have fallen sharply and .-urldenly. At several points they were below the federal support iiili"P nlscveral points. Mr. Gardi- nor said he has wired interested groups that the government again mil buy the surplus but that the support price for i955 will not be announced until after the cabinet mncts Wednesday.

Mrs. K. Dyck of St. Francis Xarir-r, Mon., appealed to Mr. (iarrlinrr to announce next year's PIIFO at once. She said she can not unricrstand why producers nrist wait until the cabinet meets.

Mr. Gardiner replied that the nunounccmcnt was made in prev- ious years betweenDec. 10 and llcc. 20. live could see no reason for a change this year. There was no rcaann why egg prices should fall hclolv the federal support level.

forward step taken in civilisa- tion has been due to research. This is very obvious in the field of transportation. where greater safe- ty. comfort, dependability and specd have been made available to the public in the present day automobile. The results can also be seen in education, commerce and industry generally.

The effect of research in public health is also present but is less tangible and is accepted without too much thought. Many killing diseases have been largely elimin- ated: infant mortality has been reduced. and we may expect to live to a riper age than our fore- bears. Those advances have been accomplished by the application of the resulns obtained by rwearch. However. the battle is not yet won. There is much that we do not understand in relation to health; there are many diseases and con- ditions for which methods have yet to be devised for their control, and as so often the advances we make lead to yet another set of problems.

A highlight of the evening was a. performance by 5 group of young boys directed by Mrs. E. C. John- srtone who during the second week in October began teaching the children how to play th. "Record- er". Those playing the instrument were Lowell Jenkins, Barrie Dia- mond. Glen Maclirachern. soloists who Joined with the instrumen- talists were Donald Johnson and Blair Wood.

In speaking of the "Recorder", Mrs. Johnstoiie referred to it as "the ancestor of all wood wind instruments." She was happy to announce that there has been a tremendous revival in interest in this ancient instrument."

The children were licard playing and singing four Christmas carols and the delightful harmony pro- duced was applauded by the large
