(Canadian Press)

REGINA, Sask., Oct. 2. — The world's grain exhibition and confer- ence, which was to have been held ln Regina in i932, has been post- poned until 1933. Anouncement to this effect was made last night by l-lon. Robert Weir, Dominion Minis- ter oi Agriculture and chairman oi the National Committee oi the irain Show,

He had received resolutions from .lle council oi the Regina Board of rrade and the Board of Directors or the ReginafAgrlcultural and Indus- trial Exhibition Association, urging postponement for a year rather than its cancellation.

Mr. Weir, Thursday night, said he éwas in complete accord with the terms of the resolutions and favored the postponement of the World's Grain Exhibition and conference for , one year. “One oi the biggest dii-I ficultles in reaching this decision was to determine the eﬂect post- ponement or cancellation would haveon the city of Regina in view oi the commitments that the city has already made," he added.

Replying to criticism regarding his announcement as to the fate of the grain show, Mr. Weir stated that ‘at no time had he set a specific date for such announcement.

MUMPS (By Chief Health Officer;

Mumps, like mcnslcs. is a com- municable or transnliy-slblc disease. It is more prevalent in childhood than in odult life. Tile llluzst char- acteristic symptom of this cliscase being inflammation of tile parotid glands (situated at the angle of the jaws) suggests the disease is conveyed by direct contact through transfer of mouth secretions from the patient to susceptible individu- als who have been in intimate as- sociation. It is probably only rarely, ii ever, conveyed by a third person. The incubation period is from four to twenty five days. The dis- ease is supposedly communicable before the symptoms have appear- ed, that is, during the incubation period and for several weeks after

the symptoms have subsided. Method of Control: Thc patient should be isolated at once. and the Health Department notified. Early recognition of the discasc is very important. Observation of contacts and early diagnosis of fresh cases are the points oi importonc ill

checking an outbreak. ~ ‘There exists at present a num- ber oi cases oi mumps in our City. Parents with cases in their homes can materially assist in checking an epidemic by keeping these cases isolated, and contact children, who have not already had mumps, from
