Drama Course

Much interest and enthusiasm has been showin by the 38 permanent and part time st - dents of the Community Drama course held this week. w. Michael Meiklejohin, Ottawa. conductor of the course stated yesterday. He felt the purpose of the course “to stim- ulate the people in the use of corn- munity drama." bad been well served.

Mr. Meiklejclm expressed disap pointment that more rural candi- dates had not an opportunity to attend the course. Weather condit- ions prevented this.

He felt that drama training was particularly needed in rimai areas. so that the people might be able to entertain themselves. He was pleas- ed to know that several rural com- munities had representatives at the course.

Mr. Melklejohn graduated from Sit. Andrews University, Fife, Scot- land and has spent about 20 years in Canada He left Canada in 1939 to enlist in tho British Army. He fought with the First British Army in North Africa. was among the troops evacuated from Dunkirk and sow service in the Balkan Countries of Europe.

fince his return to Canada he has been made director of the Ottawa Drama. League. vice chair- man of the Eastern Ontario Rag- ional Dir-acne Festival and govemor of the Dominion Dranm Festival. Mb‘. Meiklejohn is particularly in- terested in the Canadian Drama League. and directed and acted in the play which won the Barry Jackson Trophy awarded for the best Canadian play in 1948.

The course. which was of a week's d/uration. concludes today.

My American sources say, how- evermthat while expenditures un- der this item have been jumping upward in the last three years. consumer goods production has not increased at anything like a com- parable pace. despite Rllfllfm 9T0?- aganda to the contrary.

They say that allocations under the "national economy" item give a definite "l-iitlerian form" to Rus- sian industry, Plants, for instance. are primarily designed to produce tanks. and then put to immed‘ ‘. use making farm tractors.

20% below the December huldinls and nearly 15% below the same period last yes.r.

One might well, ask why did consumption decrease? I do not know whether this could be attri- buted to the influence of mama- rine but there is a. feeling that it has something to do urith this situation. Undoubtedly the butter market has weakened. 0n the Montreal Canadian Commodity Exchange the price for the week averaged 681cc on No. i solids. While this is below previous our; rent quotations it is nevertheless Vic per pound greater than dur- ing the same period last year.

Prices on Prince Edward Island are slightly weaker and are oper- atlng st. lac below ceiling. The trading is only in small lots and the demand is somewhat indiffer- ent. Reports coming from larger Canadian centers indicate that. No. 1 grade butter weakened by about 14o per pound while No. 2 or other grades weakened tc as much as seven or eight cents per pound. This should show the way to our dalrymen.

‘Illle utmost care should be exer-' cised during the coming season to have the greatest possible quant- ity of butter going from this Pros vince grading into No. 1 grade. Our latest reports from Upper Canada. state that there is prac- tically no demand for second and third grades. Buyers have no place for them. Any Creamery produc- ing No. 2 grade in any volume during the present season will find itself just out of luck in the mar-

Lower Fat Prices

Owing to a~ greater supply of fats and the lifting of some re- strictions, margarine manufactur- ers are soiling their product about 5c lower than formerly. Butter has to meet. this competition. Whether it will sag to the floor of 59o per pound for solids No. 1 is qillifl within the realm of possibility es- pecially If margarine is permitted free sale, and butter production increases.

The dairy products of Canada are adopting a. stern front toward the whole problem, and rightly so. Buttbr is under strict regulation with definite percentages of moist- ure and salt and has to be very carefully regulated regarding nan- itiition and cleanliness. It must be placed on the market in spec- ific wrappers. Margarine, appar- ent-iy, is not under such regulation and is placed on the market. with- out very much knowledge of its composition or quality.

It. ie most unfair that the firm producers of dairy products should have to meet the competition of a mechanical factory-made product to the ultimate detriment of Cha- eon "most important farm indus- try, and no doubt intimately to
