Provincial Finances

A clear and comprehensive picture of the financial affairs of the Province was presented in his maiden Budget speech in the, Legislature last evening by the Hon. Keir Clark, Provincial Treasurer. The speech dealt with all phases of our fiscal affairs, covering the past, present and im-

mediate future fiscal years, and indicating

have respect for the normal amenities of civilized society.

So far, the movement has produced nothing more serious than sporadic strikes and short-lived riots; but the long-range prospect in many parts of the world where native races are trying to evaluate the democratic system, which Cdmmunist agi- tators are doing their best to ridicule, cannot be'any1iiing but discouraging from the free world point of view. South Af- rica's apertheid policy is belying that country's ostensible democratic status with an effectiveness that must delight the heart of any well-trained Communist propagandist. At the same time it is do- ing nothing to make friends and influence people for the Commonwealth of which, for the time being at any rate. South Af- rica is a member.

The winning of the world hockey title

further substantial surpluses on ordinary by Canada's participating team, the account but forecasting a debt increase of Penticton V5, is indeed a remarkable 3890267 for the current year and a fur-lachievement. It is all the more remark-

ther estimated increase of 341,252,026 next year.

Mr. Clark called particular attention to the decrease in provincial debt last year of .?1358,709. and to the capital investments during the same period of over 52,375,000. He frankly conceded, however, that the Province has not shared to the full extent in national growth and that we have be- come ”relatively poor members of the pre- sent great family of Provinces.” He ex- pressed the hope that further Federal- Provincial Conferences, such as we shall have this year, may take into consideration a fuller realization of the fiscal needs of all areas of the Canadian economy, and make it possible for each Province to share equally in the country: development.

He agreed with his predecessor, Hon. Mr. Darby, that this Province, with I. population of slightly over 100,000 people. has to maintain all the personnel and func- tions of government which might equally serve the needs of a populace ten times as large, with the result that our overhead costs are very great and impose a burden which we could not sustain without federal assistance to supplement the limited rev- enue which our tax potential is able to pro- vide. Moreover, if we are to achieve greater financial independence, we need a substan- tially greater population, further develop- ment of our natural resources, more local processing of our basic products and the expansion of industry. The Government, Mr. Clark indicated, "must be willing to encourage industry with sound basic pro- motion and assistance, and if necessary in- our certain calculated risks, in order to en- courage new business by a friendliness of government towards enterprise.” u

The Minister pointed out that our greater portion of revenue-56 per cent- now comes from Federal sources as a re- sult of the tax rental agreement with Ottawa and other subventions. While we are guaranteed a minimum of nearly 33.- 0()0,000 under terms of this agreement. in- eluding subsidies, the actual amountiwhich we receive depends on the Gross National

Production of Canada as well as its popula-

tion and the population of our Province.

The budgetary figures show that we must

expect large debt, increases in the immed- iate future, notwithstanding any savings

effected on current account. The need for revenue sources is therefore

additional quite apparent. This is the major problem posed in the Budget, and it is to be hoped

it will receive full attention from both sides

of the House in the debate now in progress.

Discouraging

Ono social change-it would be ab- aurd to call it a development-that is being watched anxiously by millions of people in all parts of the Western world, and elsewhere, is the forcible removal of a large number of Negro residents from their homes in the Johannesburg area of South Africa to new quarters several miles away by a Government that is de- termined to make racial segregation the controlling factor in its domestic poli- cies. -

A Religious News Service report states that the new quarters to which the Negro families are being driven at the polht of guns and bayonets are superior in every way to the squalid hovels in whldt ;they; have been living hitherto. If. thendoaa, the transfer had been brought aboutin the nonrnal course of a rehabili- tation plan, there would be no cause for

able because the victory was chalked up over the most formidable European team ever assembled; it is no less so because in the over-all summation the Russians were only two points behind the Cana- dians.

Every Canadian will feel a touch of pride in the V's victory; and, of course, Biitish Columbian citizens will acclaim it as the only-to-be-expected result of that

letic prowess. They are entitled to say over and over again for all the other Prov- inces to hear: "We told you so." But much more important than the victory it- self is the high quality of sportsmanship that the winning team exhibited at every stage of their triumphal progress. On one occasion they even loaned two or three of their players to a competing team that found themselves short-handed at the last moment. This is good sports- manship par excellence.

gF'rom all the reports that have come out of Europe, the games were conduct- ed in the finest traditions of civilized so- ciety. There was not one incident cal- culated to bring discredit to any country represented. In hailing the Penticton V's for bringing home the trophy, Canadians from coast to coast will thank them most sincerely and most heartily for the im- portant part they played in upholding the good name of Canada.

A Bill now before the Manitoba Legis- lature, sponsored by the Manitoba Dental Association, would make it illegal for dental technicians to serve the public di- -rect. They would not be allowed to make or repair dentures except by prescription from dentists. The same Bill was intro- duced last session but was defeated.

Whatever may be the factors that have brought this country's ocean and coastal merchant fleet almost to the van- ishing point, it is of the greatest import.- ance that measures be taken to correct the situation at the earliest possible mo- ment.

SEEKS ACADIAN RECIPES

Sir,-The Daily Iberian is pub- lishing its fourth Creole-Cajun Cookery within a few months. At this time we are searching around for unique recipes to in- clude in it, and thought perhaps you would buve.Iome favorite Acadian recipes on hand.

Since this is the Acadian Bi- centennial year we thought per- haps it would be entirely fitting if we had an abundance of Acad- isn recipes, both Canadian Acad- ian and Louisiana Acadian recl- pea.

We would be glad to receive any number of recipes, as men- tioned. Under separate copy we are sending a copy of last year's cook book. l'nm, Sir. etc.,

FARM LABOUR

Sir,-I have been reading the speeches in the House about un- employment and note that the only member who was quoted as speaking about unemploy...e..t of farmers' help was Mr. Douglas. 1 think that he is about right and that the farmers' help should be looked after in the winter. just the same as the government men,

or any of those who have zoud jobs in the summer. The men lucky enough to get those jobs

mostly get fairly good money for the summer and unemployment relief all winter; but take the man who works for the farmers all summer and only gets three dol- lars a day, and very little to do in the winter. If he happens to get a few days' work on the roads in summe he will only get fifty cents an hour. How do they think this man is going to live and feed his family? Now is their chance to help the farmers help before they all leave the country. Here is hoping that the Government will do something. I think it could pay a little more for statute lab- our. I am, Sir. etc.,

Some day fish cannerles may dot the shores of Hudson Bay and an area deficient in food supplies will furnish a surplus. This winter the Ontario department of land and forests has planted chum sai- mon eggs in the big inland sea discovered by Henry Hudson 345 years ago this summer. More eggs will be added there and in con- necting rivers. Contrary to rath- er generai belief, fish are not abundant in Hudson Bay. Cer- tainly no concentration has been sufficient to attract commercial fisheries. Perhaps lack of food may be the reason, in which case the newly introduced salmon nay face a tough existence. But it ll also possible that present varieties of fish are not suitable, and the new salmon will be. Lots of fish- barren lakes on this continent are now well stocked thanks to the introduction of new and suitable species. - Financial Post.

PREMATURE BALDNESB IS USUALLY INHERITID

If ydu arc bald Your "005" may be caused by any on 01 nboitluit 19 different types of alo- ”E...'u., or premature, baldness is generally conceded to be chief- ly hereditary. If your mother: father was hold. you might be. too. And chances are that -if Y0" are bald, your daughter's Ion! eycntualiy will lose a good deal of their hair. The mother. you see. ll usually believed to be the carrier, although her hair seldom is If-

When It Starts

senile baldness usually becomes noticeable during your late twen- ties or early ies. Most often, you will lose your hair gradually,

The reason for this is fairly simple. As your scalp shrinks with age, a condition which I described yesterday. the increased tension exerts its greatest pressure on the top of your head.

The situation can be likened to pulling a paper bag down over your head. You can readily see where much more pressure will be exerted on the top of the 'bag than on the sides.

Like Baby's Hair-

As your hair falls out. the tex- ture of the hair which I i

becomes fine and delicate, much like the hair of a baby. Your scalp may become more oily or it

may become drier. Therein a good b you may have dandruff. too

As I said, heredity apparently has a lot to do with your becom- ing bald. But even if you do have a tendency toward baldness, there might be some help for you.

If your metabolism is low, you may be helped by taking thyroid extract. Or maybe int. ' injections of vitamin B., crude liver extract will help.

Don't use stimulants excessively, and get plenty of sleep. If you have dandruff, get rid of it. Pro- per care of your hair and scalp, which I will discuss later. might help slow down the balding pro- cesl also.

Once the hair follicles have been destroyed. however, there isn't much that can be done. Regrowth is virtually ' possible.

In some types of baldness. there are excellent chances for regrow- ing hair. I'll tell you about some of them tomorrow. -
