' CIIAIILOTTI-ITOWN. SATURDAY, IVIARCII 1, 1952 i Beware of Substitutes

Pressure is being brought on the Fed-., eral Government to ease-up on the re- strictions on butter substitutes, especially in the way of colouring. 'Why should the manufacturers be desirous of being allow- ed to use colouring? is it not to make the substitute look like butter and sell at a low- er price in competition with butter? We are told that in Saskatchewan eo-opera- tives are buying up raw materials from which vegetable oil could be produced. such as soy beans, and utilizing them to pro- duce a. butter substitute, and all they want now is that the new spread be allowed to be coloured "like butter to be spread on bread.” The cost of production ranges, from 13c to 15c per lb. What farmers here ; and elsewhere must bear in mind is thatl Saskatchewan is not a farming province: such as we are. It is true it has farms.' but for the most part it "mines" wheat, cic- l velops oil wells. and ranches cattle. It is now an industrial province, last census showing that. its urban population increas- ed 24 per cent. and its rural population went down 23 per cent. It wants now cheap i food to feed its urbanites, and is in the mar-, ket for cheap substitutes. Farming means oil production, mining, lumber. manufacturing a great deal. i They can raise cattle by the thousands and: sell them, or could before the present em- bargo in Ontario and over the border. Here we have no alternative. Farming is our life blood. and dairying our life saver. If we sacrifice this for a so-called easy life and for so-called cheap competition. we kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

It is a short-sighted policy to weaken the hold dairying has on our provincial econ- omy. Farmers as a whole. and our lead- ers in particular. know this to be the truth. The late Dr. Robertson, of glorious mem- ory, hauled us out of the slough in which we found ourselves sixty or so years ..g and our public men should be wary in giv-I ing any encouragement to any one advo-1 eating letting down the controls we now' possess in keeping out cheap substitues' and unfair competition. There will always be a market for good butter where there is no unfair competition, and the benefit to the soil dairy cattle provides is beyond cal- culation in current dollars and cents

Hllritish Emigration

Although the prospect of' many years of austerity still lies ahead for the people of the United Kingdom, very few Britons are emigrating to the Dominions or c,ls,c;w where. To U. S.. for instance, a land con- sidered to be flowing with milk and honey compared with Britain, only one-fifth of the British immigration quota allowed emigrat-i ed in the year ending June 30th, 1951: a! total of only 12,031 persons. i

Emigration to Canada is stilllhigh, butt to Australia the figure dropped from 73,-' 568 in 1950 to 63,000 in 1951--in spite of the benefits that the Australian Government is offering to its immigrants. Special pri- ority, for instance, may be given in future to immigrants willing to work in agricul-, ture and help Australia produce more food.,

New Zealand also is doing all she can( to attract settlers from Britain. Early thisi month the turbine ship. Captain Cook car- ried 1,093 people to New Zealand. Their passage was paid by the New Zealand Gov- ernment, under their assisted migration plan. The ship is to make four round voy- ages a year, carrying settlers to New Zeal- and. '

'Th'e double-header storm of Thursday. and the three-day storm of just a few: days ago had members of the City Streets? Department working overtime to kc-cpl

traffic moving. That this was done is al

Lessons have been learned and perhaps. some thought should be given to the future. i There is need for a piece of heavy equ!p--

ing vehicle left unscathed. It is no easy task, under normal conditions, to operate a plow with its complicated mechanism. but to move in and out and around stalledcsrs calls for skill and patience if damage is to be avoided.

Another suggestion worthy of consldcb ation. and it effects particularly our nar- rowed streets. is to have the snow piled on one side only. There would be one clear foot path and a good avenue for traffic. The present. method allows for a single traffic lane, and the plow in manoeuvering around stalled cars often throws snow back

lento cleared sidewalks, much to the annoy- a

nce of the householder. During the last storm members of the City Streets Committee took a personal in-

ltercst in the clearance problem and accom-

panied the available equipment in action. We feel sure that this attitude will be reflected in greater efficiency and will also be appreciated by those actually doing the job.

The commission of Governor-General Massey, like that of his predecessor towards thellattcr end of his term, confers on him all the Royal powers and prerogatives ex- ercisable in relation. to this country. The added powers include such things as par- don. apart from statute, and the granting and creation of honours in the name of the Queen.

Selling liquor is a profitable undertaking all right. Nova Scotia made a profit of 339,907,448 last year and Ontario 341,194,- 385.

There was a drop of sales in Nova Scotia, however, of a million dollars, but in Ontario there was an in- crease to 5l'o210,473.812.

Bless Me! What A Singular Device

(Montreal Gazette)

Strange indeed are the ways of governments. A Hell mi-DY V88?! ago-back in 1833--the English writer, Edward Bulwer-Lytton. told an economic psnble. It seem very applicable to this country to- day.

his character, named Micromc- gas, sees an enormous Giant, laid out at full length upon the around. in the midst of I mighty orchard laden with fruit. Chains are on his limbs. and welsh!-I upon hll breast.

The Giant kicks most. lustlly against these restraints. And his struggles so convulse the ground that some fruit is shaken from the trees. And the natives. who stand about. seize the fruit as it falls.

The compassionate Micromegu approaches the Giant. "And who art thou,” he asks. "Alas!" said the Giant. "my name in Industry. And ll am the parent of these un- grateful children, who have tied me down, in order that my strug- gles to get. free may shake a few (runs to the ground."

”Blus me," said Mlcromegaa. "what I singular device!"

0 . .

At this moment "I whole gang of elderly ladies” comes up with :1 huge bowl of opium, which the elderly ladle: begin to thrust down the throat of the Giant.

"And what the devil II that for?" asked Mlcromegu. ,

”we don't. like to see our good father make such violent strug- gles," reply the pious mnfrons. ”we are giving him oplu.m to lie still."

Then say: the Giant: "My chil- dren, I have done my but to maintain you All, there is food enough in the orchard for (my time: your number, but you do yourself the injustice of crippling your (other.

And it came to pass. that he went: througll,tho corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the can of corn. And the Pharisees said unto him.

Craleriheory

(Winnipeg Free Press)

The theory that the mysterious giant crater recently discovered in Northern Quebec is the procl- uct of meteoric concussion IS being challenged in the United States. While plenty of iron has been found in the neighborhood. with one concentration indicated magnetically under the east run of the crater, the critics sugitest that this is of logical origin like other deposits being developed further south. Another objection is that the vast. lake-filled bowl is carpeted with layers of very large. well-rounded granite bould- crs quite unlike the shattered fragments usually associated with meteoric bursts. - With the original hypothesis now heavily discounted. scientists are tentatively advancing a new theory to account for what is in the general View one of the most remarkable geologic phenomena on the face of the earth. Northern Quebec is covered by a vast sheet of granite which. it is said, was formed-by crystallization of orig- inal sedimentary rocks. This pro- can is pI'CBUITlEd.i.0 have started at some point in Unguvn and to have spread like an expanding bal- loon, with heat generated at a constant rate on the surface of the expanding sphere and being conducted backward because the newly formed granite possessed two to seven times the conductiv- ity of the surrounding limestone or sanduone. This reduced the interior of the ”bubble" to rapid- ly expanding plastic. which grud- ually ruined a great dome at the surface. -

It is suggested that this took place at a time when the whole region was covered with mile- deep ice. The "bubble" finally broke at the top with soft gran- ite oozing out. according to one description. "like toothpaste squeezed slowly from a tube." Two things then happened. A lake former under the ice and the molten granite "pillowed" to form great boulders which sank through to carpet the lake floor and the base of the dome.

While this account may be somewhat less dramatic than the theory of meteoric concussion. it will appear to many quite as re- markable. It is to be expected that the new theory will also come under critical fire and it will be interesting to Ice how it stands up.

ANTI-BIAILIIOAD nmrrrrno

"A large anti-railroad meeting was held at Vernon River Bridge last evening. The Opposition speakers were the Hon. B. Davies. ex-Colonial Secretary, Louis Davies. Esq., ex-Solicitor General, D. Laird. Esq., editor of The Patriot, and Messrs. Richard Smith and J. B. Guy. The Hon. Mr. Haythorne and the Hon. James Duncan (one of the representatives of the dis- trict, and a member of the pre- sent Governmcnt) both spoke strongly in favour of Railways. but the former gentleman thinks this is not the proper time to commence such expensive under- takings. Mr. Duncan. however, hold his own almost slngle-hand- ed, and the feeling of the meeting showed a growing disposition on the part of the people of the dis- trict generally to accept the rit- untion. with certain modifications. A resolution recommending a change of route. so as to bring the populous districts south of the Hillsborough into more di- rect contact with that portion of the line between Charlottetown and Georgetown. having been mov- cd and well supported. wal voted down by the opponents of the railway policy of the present Gov- ernment."

Too Many Deer.

(Owen Sound Sun-Times)

Southern Ontario has a deer problem on its hands. in fact these lovely animals of the wilds have become one of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forertf top headaches. About 40 years ago deer were almost eliminated in the area. Then came protection and now they have reached nuis- ance proportions.

The fault. lies in the fact that Southern Ontario is too thickly populated to make it wise to encourage the deer population. It is all very well to be sentimental about the whole affair, to decry the shooting of the beautiful an- imals and'to go into rapture: about seeing them along the roadway. They are beautiful and interesting and it is must enter- taining to see them. But the price for the pleasure is too high . . . and it is not paid by those who get the pleasure out of see- ing them.

Deer eat the Fall wheat off the fnrmers' fields in the Winter when the snow does not cover it deep- ly. They also brown on other farm crops during the growing season. They wlll- eliminate all cedar reproduction. eating the trees as high as they can reach. Small pines in reforestation plot:

The problem rests on the fact. that wild life is not adapted to thickly populated areas. Yet. given A degree of protection, they will quickly increase in these areas.
