Proposed British Milk Act

In a circular to its members the National Dairy Council of Canada says_of the proposed Milk legislation in Great Britain: _ _

“Cable (lespatches indicate that the British Government has decided to withdraw this rather revolutionary Bill owing to the ‘outburst of pro- test’. The outburst apparently has been fairly general but particularly vehement by the British housewife who insists on buying her milk from whom she pleases, and by the producer who ob- jects, amongst other things, t0 the marketing of his milk being burdened with some eighteen dif- ferent boards and committees and who, appar- ently, feels that he can be done to death by what is termed ‘rationalization’ and those who would save him from ruin. We in Canada have some interest in the withdrawal of this Bill as some o_f its provisions might have been a seriousimpedi- merit to the free marketing of our dairy pro- ducts in Britain.” _ _

It is interesting to note that while there is strong Conservative opposition to the Milk Bill in the Old Country, such staunch Liberal organs as The Spectator seem desirous of promoting It. A recent issue of The Spectator has the fol- lowing comment: _ _

“The Minister 0f Agriculture has PYOmISEd to push his Milk Bill through Parliament even though it ‘costs hiin his job’; nevertheless the Bill is in a bad way. At the week-end the farm- ers’ representatives expressed their whole-heart- rd disapproval. The farmers’ friend, the Daily Express, asserts that the Bill is already dead, if not buried. The Milk Marketing Board, in the person of its general manager and secretary, has lectured the Conservative Agricultural Com- mittee 0n its defects. The Co-operators, and hence the Labour Party, are equally hostile. Si)! Conservative i\l.l’.'s have put forward a motion demanding its complete rejection. It is t0 be hoped that Mr. Morrison xvill not be overawed by such opposition, which springs from the most heterogeneous sources. The farmers, though the whole of the milk industry now depends on ‘Gov- ernment regulation and subsidies, object to Gov- ernment interference’. The Co-operatprsdear they will be hindered in expanding their distri- butive milk business. The retailer fears his small “muntf will be swallowed up by mono- polies. The Milk Marketing Board fears the supervision of an independent and permanent Milk Commission. In this outcry of particular interests, there is a grave danger that the gen- eral interest of the consumer, who hopes for a rcductionin the cost of distribution and a clos- ing of tlie gap between consumers’ and produc- ers’ prices, will go by the board."

~"No Adequate Apology Possible"

i Unemployed young men in Canada, says an exchange, will be enheartened by news that the Canadian Corps is devising a plan for taking them off the streets and giving them work t0 do with a. reasonable wage. The Corps urges the Federal Government to establish ten vocational centres across Canada, equipped with the techni- cal equipment necessary to the learning of vari- ous trades and staffed with qualified instructors.

The plan is to. be further elaborated.‘ The Canadian Corps will not become weary in this well doing; there will be action rather than talk. And what other body of Canadians is better qualified to act on behalf 0f youth exposed to the risks associated with enforced and long con- tinued idleness? _

Governments, however, are slow in action; veterans have no use for the red tape that handi- caps official movement, and the condition calls for prompt planning. The Corps’ view is this: "The problem of youth, the tragedy _0f having ln Canada 100,000 young men primarily ambiti- ous of taking their place in life, yet cast adrift to shift for themselves, presents a pisture for which no adequate apology ispossible. There have been years of talk on this problem 0f idle youth, and the remedy has not been found. Youth doesn't want speeches and apologies; l! Vlfiiflti definite action, and this is what the Dominion Government is pledged to provide-

Training Military Fliers

Remember Mr. Mackenzie King's grandiose promise to train British air pilots in Canada while refusing to permit the Royal Air Force t0 establish its own training quarters here? Little has been heard of this matter recently but the following statement by a writer in the Winni- peg Free Press is illuminating:

“The transfer of nine young pilot officers (t0 the British R.A.F.) is the only scheme so far that came out of all the conferring with the Bri- tish Air Mission in Canada last year, so far as the Mission's investigation concerned flying training in Canada. Instead of British pilots being trained in advanced flying in Canada, Canadian pilot officers trained in elementary flying in Canada are to be trained in advanced flying in England. The Britishpilots that were hurriedly to come to Canada to be trained have , lot come. The reason why they have not come la kept dark, and to ask for an explanation makes the Defence Department hot under the collar. Of course there must be some good rea- m. . The cynical say frankly that the state of vaifoéd flying training in Canada wu found bythe- British Mission to be poor and inadequate, llldjllothhig to teach British pilots. So, all has planned is the transfer of iiinl liken-tinder what ls known as flip ‘An-

flip-Canadian" Trained Cadet Scheme.’

“This mouse brought forth by the mountain may give promotion and improve the training of the young officers transferred from Canada’: Air Force t0 Britain's Air Force. Of course it takes them out 0f the Canadian air service, for at the end of their short-term commission they are transferred only to the R.C.A.F. Reserve. What is achieved by this scheme devised by the Defense Department? At best, l5 young offic- ers will go to the R.A.F. each year. With that, compare what the young Canadian civilian fliers have been contributing on their own to the Bri- tish R.A.F_ Without benefit of any kind from the Defense Department, they have contributed some 120 of their number t0 the R.A.F. S0, under the new high-sounding scheme it will take the Defense Department eight years to send into the R.A.F. the same number of young Canadian fliers that civilian‘ fliers themselves sent iii lit- tle longer than one year.

“Then, what about the 50o young Canadians who have learned to fly and wait in the hope 0f getting commissioned in one of the Air Forces which have been vastly increasing their votes on the urgent national pleas of adding to their strengths? To sidetrack these young men, among the pick of Canada's youth, is scurvy treatment. It means waste of a national re- source in a highly specialized vocation. Some plan to avoid this continuing neglect should be evolved. If the Defense Department does not want young Canadian pilots, the British R.A.F. intimated long ago, that it wants them. Why, then, cannot it get them? Let those commis- sioned at public expense in the R.C.A.F. stay in the R.C.A.F., but assist the young fliers all over the Dominion wanting t0 get into military fly- ing to get their commissions in the British R.A. F. If the R.A.F. wants good young fliers from Canada it can get all it wants of the finest type if allowed to pass up the Defense Department and communicate through the Civil Air Branch."

The success of the appeal by the Boy Scouters Club for old toys t0 repair for out-of-town dis- tribution was a complete success, thanks to the generosity of the local picture theatre manage- ment, and especially t0 Mr. F.

Meats were imported to the value of $172,- 650 in October compared with $182,473 in the previous month and $102,923 in October, 1937. Canned beef and barrelled pork in brine were the leading items. The pork came from the United States and the beef from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay in the order nam- ed. Total imports of meat during the seven months ended October were valued at $1,098,305 compared with $730,639 in the corresponding period last year.

A considerable decline was recorded in the value of imported farm implements and machin- ery in October, the value being $650,660 com- pared with $1,442,921 in the previous month and $1,234,646 in October, 1937. The bulk came from the United States, consisting mainly of in- ternal combustion traction engines and parts. Farm implements and machinery imported dur- ing the first seven months 0f the fiscal year t0- totalled‘ in value $13,672,802 compared with $12,033,921 in the qorifsppnding period last year.

October import: of living animals increased substantially to $101,385 compared with $55,- 780 in the previous month and $39,337 in the corresponding month last year. The gain in ani- mals for the improvement of stock accounted largely for the betterment. Horses for the im- proyement of stock recorded the largest gain, to- talling $40,970 against $3,560 a year ago; cattle $5,707 against $985 and chickens $1,400 against, $1,000. '

So blond that they look like the subjects of a Franz Hals painting, Jean and John are brother and sister who cling together des ately amid misfortunes. Jean is 8 years ol , but she is small and looks little older than sturdy, active John, who is 5. When Jean was asked recently if she had a doll she replied, “No, but I have a nice brother." Both youngsters have shown talent-Jean draws very well and little John can sing. They are among the eight children of an unemployed couple, and it was proposed they should be sent to foster homes. But Jean and John are so devoted to each other that it is hop- ed they can be kept together at home. Mean- time the prospects for Christmas doll and sleigh are rather grim, unless Santa Pals come to their

Ono of the common sing and sometimes distressing ailments is dandruff or soborrhoea slcca of the scalp. while the pro- cess may be arrested or stopped by treatment ft would seem mat constant attention la necessary to control the condition.

A letter to the "editor Journal of the American Medical Association receives a reply that may prove helpful to readers af- flicted with dandruff.

"The scalp should be kept clean

by washing with soup and water sufflclently often to keep 1t clean. The more oily the scalp the more often 1t should be washed. The average man's scalp may be safely washed every week and many as often as twice a week or oftener. The itching sometimes present. can be relieved by simply washing the scalp. For severe cases with for- mat; on more satisfactory.’ I1 there ls any body condition present 1t should be treated. Anae- mlap-thln blood-may require tron or liver; an imperfect. digestion needs attention; and always the bcwels should be kept regular.

Among remedies suggest-ed is sulphur 1n

the form 0f solution of sulphurated lime (Vllmlnckxu solution) diluted. beginning with one part to seven of water and fncreasfng gradually so that 1n a few cases it may be given full strength. It is best applied. with a. medicine dropper before retiring, less often as scalp condition 1m- proves. Mercury in form of am- monlated mercury in a one-half 0r one-third mixture with some suit.- able substances is often helpful. While weak solutions of the ex- tremely poisonous blchlorlde of mercury are recommended. I am not recording tt. at this time. The use cf Xrays in skilled bands helps many cases of dan- druff as it does many other skin conditions. The scalp should washed before exposure to the Xrays thus allowing rays to pene- trate more readily. -

From the above advice we learn that just. keeping the scalp clean is helpful and absolutely necessary b91010 any remedy-ointment, lo- tion. or Xrays-ls applied.
