Old Home Week

It is sortie years now since the terms "Provincial Exhililtion" and "Old Home Week" became synony- mous. They have since come to stand for one of the liiggt-st holiday events of the year in I-Zasterii Canada. draw- ing many thousands of spectators to the Evliiliitioii grounds at (iliarlottc- town and brincirii; inaiiy former Islanders together troni the far corners of the continent. Next week the prospects are for a bigger and better prograni than ever, with keen competition in the livestock and other farm entries. and the fastest horses in the hlaritinies entered in the trotting and pacing events be- fore the grandstand. The ll'onieri's Institutes are having an exception- ally fine display of flowers and handicraft, and. of course, the vaude- ville acts. midway and other enter- tainment attractiuns will be well represented.

We have a long and creditable record In Exhibition activities in this Province. dating from early settle- ment days. The value of these fairs to our farmers has been inestimalile, and this factor is still of paramount importance. The variety of enter- tainment which has been added. particularly in the harness racing events. has helped further to popu- larize the Exhibition without dimin- ishing its value agriculturally. There is ample time for racing fans to see and admire the prize livestock and watch the judges at their absorbing task. No one has really seen the Exhibition until he has taken in the whole show in all its variety and comprehensiveness. It is a reward- ing experience that will pay divi- dends all through the year in plea- sant memories.

The Wheal Problem

One of the big problems facing the new Federal Government is the tremendous wheat surplus which, according to official estimates. now stands at around 610 million bushels, about 100 million bushels more than last year's unsold supply. This year's net increase is not due to a bigger harvest. Indeed. crops in many sec- tions of the Prairie Provinces have been reduced considerably by heavy drought and an unusually severe in- vnsion of locusts. The increase was brought about by lower sales in foreign markets.

What the Government will decide to do about this problem is not yet clear. During the election campaign Mr. Diefenbaker held out the pro- mise of cash advances for wheat stored on farms instead of bank loans which had been the policy of the former Governmctit. No doubt this new arrangement will be intro- duced and approved at the coming session of Parliament.

There will still remain, however. the problem of how to get rid of the surplus, or at least the bulk of it. There is a report that the Govern- ment is thinking of cutting prices to a level which it is hoped would stimulate existing markets and at- tract new ones. This may help: and. of course. the producers won't mind at all, so long as the prices they receive are not reduced. This would mean a Federal subsidy to look after the difference between the reduced market price and that paid the pro- ducer. Reduced prices to the produc- ers, however. would have serious political i'eprecusslans:'nnd it can be taken for granted that the Gov- ernment hnn no such plan'under consideration. y

It i right that every effort drould tn made to dispose of un- wieldy surpluses. Yet. it must be remembered that Canada is one of

tin few countries which find an

tn the put; and should there on crop failures, or man fnllunn. two or three yearn in succession-n not unlikely occurance-n few hundred million bushels 'of wheat in storage would come in handy. Perhaps n surplus of 100 million bushels at any given time would be a safe margin. This. of course, would be the financial responsibility of the Federal Government, not of the pro- ducers. But it would be money well invested, insurance against a pos- sible shortage of food.

If present trends to high-com- pression cars continue. the motoring publicican expect to pay more for the higher-octane gasoline required. According to Imperial Oil Review. many cars are burning fuel with an octane rating as high as avia- tion gasoline at the beginning of the First World War. Gasoline used by automobiles ten years ago would be useless in today's cars. This year compression ratios took their big- gest yearly leap in history. up to a new-car average of 8.5 to 1 in Can- ada, and horsepower moved to an average of 232.8. Five makes of 1957 cars were in the 10 to 1 compres- sion-ratio class; nine models had more than 300 horsepower.

NEW HOSPITAL OPENING

Sir,-I have read your ac- count of the opening of the new Hillsborough Hospital and have heard the ceremonies des- cribed by a number of my friends who were there. it would seem that politics wn. given as much attention as the improve- ment of hospital conditions. The grest friend of the sick and suffering, Dr. W.J.P. Macmil- Inn. was not given a place on the platform although his grant: work as Minister of Health can- not be denied. The chalrmanwl list of those to be thanked for their efforts was something like n roll call of the Liberal Party. I The Dominion Government. . which made n contribution to, the building got scant attention and the federal Minister of Health had no representative on the plntform an is usual in hospital openings, Since thel Prince Edward Island govern-. mom will have many dealingll with the new government at 0t- . tawn in ilhe future this snubl is not only n discourtcsy butt

PUBLIC FORUM .UNITED KINGDOM OPINION Closh With Union Leader

By tonlooker" Thomson Newspnpern. London. England llnnnn

It seems I long time since the.

Government members in both Butish Houses of Parliament - the Lords and Commons - have attacked the trade unions. II is n periodic nffnir. when the Gov- ernment faces criticism on the old charge of Rising Prices and they seek someone to share the blame. Now they are having an interlude of gunning for certain trade union leaders. in particular A mild and ordinary looking trade union boss called Frank Cousins.

Cousins. who bosses the huge Transport and General Work- ers' Union. has followed in the footsteps of the late and widely- respected Ernest Bevin the trade unionist who became I wnr-time minister. then the Ln- bor partys' Foreign Minister when they got back into power in I945. and finally litcrnlly kill- ed himself for his country.

Bevin though. was widely re-I

spected not only In his own party but also on the other side of

the House. War-time leader Win- I

ston Churchill, then on the 0p- of the House of

ommons, was happy to call him friend.

But To Check Weight Regularly

so, your-n ulnn b reduce! Well. Int nu offer my congratula- tions - together with p for words of wnrnlnn.

Au reducinl diet should be planned by a physician.

Don't nnrbnrk upon some ind diet or arbitrarily set your own food limits. You've got to get ade- quate nourishment even tbounh you are not eating as much as ununl. Only n doctor can deter- mine just how this should be no cornpltnbed.

It's also advisable for your doc- tor to decide Just how much poundnge you should lose and bow Inst It should be shed. Los- ing too much weight too quickly can produce rather drastic re suits.

REDUCING DRUGS p

Use the so-cnlled reducing , drugs only if your doctor nd-; vines them. And while you are; using them. keep in close con- tnct with the physician.

Any drug. if used long enough. might become dsnserous.

Don't weigh yourself more of- ten than once n week.

There is a great leniplntion toi check your weight each day to! see how well your diet is work-, lng. but minor fluctuations might , be discouraging nnd spoil your determination to reduce.

Make sure your scale is rclin- , ble. Keep it in the bathroom where you can weigh yourself with a minimum amount of clo-

thing. CHECK WEIGHT REGUl.ARLYl

Weigh yourself regularly at the same time each week. g

A reducing diet should not be; n grim business. It requires de-: termination. of course. but it can be perectly pleasant. With our modern sclentiic diets. reduc- ing in not too much of n hard- lhip on anyone who really wants to lose weight.

Unless your doctor advises nth- erwlse, I suggest that your daily food intake, be consumed nt three meals as nearly equal in content and value as possible. DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST

Dnn't skip breakast entirely or restrict it only to coffee or some other beverage. You might be apt to overeat at your other meals if you do.

Cut down on your use of salt : while dieting. Oversalluig foods can spoil an otherwise good diet.

Too much salt creates thirst. as you well know. And thirst, causes excess water retention. your body uliirli inrreasesl weight. Before you know it. your scale will show that you have gained weight instead of losing. It

But don't give up. You can diet and be happy. too. QUESTION AND ANSWER
