The liming Problem

Food, clothing and shelter are the basic requirements of mankind and if these be inadequate, then all other goods and serv- ices must be considered wasteful extrav- agance. Clothing, despite soaring prices, is probably adequate in this country and Ottawa has carried on a policy of good nutrition to the point where it conflicts with the right of farmers to receive a-pro- per return for their efforts.

Only in the matter of. shelter, amongst basic needs, have other considerations out- weighed the necessity of the family and individual. Under the pressure of relative- ly small-scale military commitments Ot- tawa has knocked one of the props from under the already inadequate house build- , ;. . ing programme. The increased down pay- f T, ment required for National Housing Act V loans will effectively curtail construction.

The Canadian Federation of Mayors

, and Municipalities has roundly condemned

this action and termed housing the No. 1

problem in Canada.

- Even if this view is unjustified, the

problem is both serious and widespread.

There would be few who would put hous-

ing before national security but that is not

the choice. There are many other uses to

which the same materials and labour are

being put besides home building and,pI'e- paredness.

- The U. S. forces in Korea, despite the . present U. N. counter offensive, are be- low strength. General Marshall has an- nounced that reinforcements are being pre- vided at the rate of 15.000 per month The Korean units will not be at full strength until April. ' . In the meantime the men taken into the " U. S. army last September are now emerg- ing as graduates of basic tralmng. And the surprising fact is their small numbers- Not until March will the effect of the new U. S. defence programme begin to Sh9W results. The yield in tlanuary was only V 5,000 men. This month it will be 6.000 men. In March the outtum will be 12.000: April 30,000; Julie and July 40,000 each: August 50,000 and thereafter some 80.000 men per month. -

Thus until April, the reinforcements to Korea will "strip" the home defence units. Thereafter there will be substantial gains all round, leading to the enlargement of the U. S. army by several divisions per month after July next. This is what General Marshall had in mind when he remarked: "If we can get to June, we will have a broad base and then we can do things

rapidly."

compulsory ballet Training I

The proposition that youths and young, men should be required to take training in high school cadet corps and university units has been voiced in the House of Commons by Mr. James Sinclair. Parliamentary as- sistant to Finance Minister Abbott. .It was

, stated by Mr. E. D. Fulton, Progressive - Conservative member representing Kam- . - loops constituency, that Mr. Sinclair, out-. V side the House had supportedithe Cana- dian Legion demand for compulsory service in the reserve army, something more far- rcaching than he now advocates. Whetiier Mr. Sinclair changed his mind on that mat- ter is not known, says the Globe and Mail, - but the cadet training proposal has” more to commend it in -present! circumstances than .' the other. g ," Compulsory cadet training in the high ' schools would not mean that those thus instructed would be committed to joining the army, the air force or the navy. Rath- er, such training would be quite apart from A the military; for boys it would be just an- other required course in their curriculum. And, until such time as a national draft 3' was passed. their position upon leaving ' rt, schoolwould be no different from that of ' any other citizenicxcopt that tlIeY'W01I'd have had the advantage of some basic - trainlns-2 '

Four more U. S. divisions for the de- fence of Western Europe, six in all, is an enormous undertaking even for as great a nation as our neighbour to the south. That is, to be kept there in peacetime. The only possible expression of gratitude is for the more immediately threatened countries to pull their full weight in the common de-

fence.

The late Dr. B. C. Keeping was widely known and esteemed throughout the Is- land, which he served faithfully and well for many years as Chief Medical Health officer. He was a veteran of the First World War, and took a particular interest in the welfare of his fellow veterans at all times. Quiet and unassuming in manner, he was a splendid citizen and worked un- ceasingly for his community and Province. Sincere sympathy is extended to the widow and family in their bereavement.

Persons attending the late masses in the downtown district are now allowed to receiive Holy Communion with- out observing the usual strict fast. The papal indult affects the Eucharistic fast on week days and permission is given to take liquid food up to one hour before com- munion. Liquid food means anything that

chewed such as broth, meat-juice, milk, coffee, cocoa, eggnogs. No alcoholic bev- erages are allowed. Many are reported to be adopting the new order and the prac- tice of daily Communion is becoming pop- ular. 0 Greater live-stock production and not meat rationing and price, control will curb inflationary pressures in the packing in- dustry, said John Holmes, president, Swift & Company, at the annual meeting of the company. "A fair, enforceable rationing and price control is impossible" for the live-stock and meat marketing system, he declared. "Controls, if imposed, will have a negative influence on the present en- couraging outlook for increased live-stock production. Clamping on controls would mean a return of meat shortages, long waiting lines, black markets, an era of lana- lessness and loss of by-products, he added. ' 0 o '
