Industry

siiiiiiirifrxv,

Profitable llome

Of the mony activities in which the Wo- men's Institutes in this Province have taken part, none has proved more useful and profitable than the encouragement given to handicrafts. This industry has shown a remarkable growth in every Provinc-e catering to the tourist trade, and lts possibilities are almost unlimited.

In this connection it is worth noting that: the United States Department of Commerce‘ estimated that American tourists will put more than a billion dollars into the products of rural handicraftsmen this summer. This figure would boost the trade in hand-made goods by as much as $250,000,000 over the pre~war figures, setting r-ecord for such sales. Much of this money will go to Navaro silversmiths of Arizona, to the basket-weavers of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, to the textile pointers of Georgia, to the wood-carvers of New England. Even as for away as Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico rural handicrafts are being developed for the tourist trade. '

But in each of the Maritime Provinces, with on already Inrg-er influx of American visitors re- ported within the past week, and with an all- timo record number estimated to visit us in the course of this season, our varied and dis- tinctive handicrafts will undoubtedly meet with I good share of tourist purchases.

Stressing this fact in a timely editorial, the Moncfon Times says the New Brunswick Gov- ernment has anticipated a rising patronage for lrticles of distinctive home crafts and has given every encouragement in order that such‘ work would be more widely taken up. A director of handicrafts and instructors have been active in this respect for a considerable time now and are performing a fine service, not only in expanding what has become a lucrative industry but in giv- ing qualified instruction in the production of many more varieties of home crafts which are designed to create a popular demand.

Our own Provincial Government has also boon active in this connection, following the lead of Hie Women's Institutes as above mentioned. lot more might be done in this connection, for the possibilities in this enterprise ore expanding

llot Weather Advice

Dome timely advice is contained in an art- IoIe In an Old Country exchange on the subject of o ' ing the midsummer vacation period with- out comfort.

Perhaps we are Inclined to exaggerate when we got I spell of good old-fashioned summer weather. Even a heat wave, it is suggested, has is points. Of course it is tiring, especially for Ire elderly and the delicate; but for the general rorr of pooplo it often does a world of good. Ior one thing, lt makes us perspire, and the skin glands oro among the most important of our bodily organs. In a heat wave (and to a lesser orient in a good hot bath) we got rid of the Nmnonh of the waste products and toxins. We nood plant-y of watery fluid, however, to make up for the evaporation of perspiration.

If in e hot spell we can get to the shore, we oro thrice blessed, for then we get absorp- fIon of the ultra-violet, and, to a lesser extent, the Infra-red rays.

We aro apt to be safer and froor from gen- oral infections and disease during a hot spell, It Is contended, than at any other period of the yoar.

Tho sun has, as we know, its dangers, os- pociolly for those unused to it, the delicate, the very fair, and those who do not ton easily. These should be careful of the direct rays, so should the man who is getting on, and a "bit thin on the top." Sunstrake is always nasty and may leave some very queer feelings behind it, even in mild cases. Children should have their heads and napes protected from too strong a glare.

The "pass word" in a heat wove is "mod— oration," in all things-exercise, strain, diet, etc. Exercise is important, but as for as possible should be taken (easy and gentle) in the evening or early hours. The ‘some with work, such as needs concentration and is apt to mean worry. Worry is perhaps the greatest danger in a hoot lpoll, ninco it sends up the blood pressure. .

It should be unnecessary at this time of day fa tell people to cut down their meat, fots, past- ries, sugars and even tobacco, and rely on the nature foods-—cereols, fruits, vegetables, and those C- vitamin things, such as oranges, lem- ons, grapefruit, limes, celery, watercress, lettuce, spinach, etc., when they can be got.

Cooked meals and hot food should be ovbid- od generally. Sleep means much in hot weath- or—-if one can get it!

Available Doctors

The discussion on bringing doctors to Can- ada from Great Britain or the displaced persons camps of Europe has been clarified by a state- ment in Ottawa by Mr. H. L. Keenleyside. As Deputy Minister of Mines and Resources, Mr. Keonloyside is one of the officials mainly re- sponriblo for immigration policy.

Mr. Keenleyside reports that there are a numbe. of doctors in displaced persons camps in Europe who are available to come to Can- ada if any Province asks for the service of these men. He also said that it should be compara- tively easy to get them out of the camps and into Canada if tlxrre are iobs waiting for them.

Theso authoritative statements should set-

h;'-<Il‘_"—d' wow.» Anrvuna; n“.

lished that doctors are available in Europe; that these trained people now have no chance to practice medicine; and that they can be brought to Canada.

Mr. Keenleyside referred only to doctors in Europe, but it is also known that many doctors in the United Kingdom are eager to start a practice in this country and are agreeable to practising in rural districts where the need, of course, is most acute. _

Whether these doctors com‘: from the United Kingdom, as is preferred, or from Eur- ope, they will not be competing with Canadian doctors who have an established practice of their own. The newcomers would be going to districts which are at present without medical facilities or else whose facilities are demons- trobly inadequate to meet existing needs. This fact is understood by many doctors and its ac- ceptance should be wide-spread.

Sun Dried Salt Cod

(Saint John Telegraph-Journal)

Since Acadiiun days New Bruns- wlck has exported sun-dried salt cod. In modern times our chief markets were Italy and Spain. We lnsi lhe Italian market when Can- atln applied economic sanctions acnhst Italy during Mussolini‘! Ethiopian campaign and the Ital- ians countered with an embargo against ma-st Canadian goods. We lost the sipnish market during the Spanish clvll war. The result was that the salt cod business all but vanished and zreat hardship was suffered by those who depended or it for a living.

In the lute 1930's quick-freezing plants bank the place of the dry- ‘me flakes and cod fishermen turned to the production of froz- en fillets. This development con- trnucil throughout the war and her-n of tremendous value. an important world demand for salt cad and we should not ignore the opportunity this presents. If a balance can he struck between the salted and fro-zen product, ‘it should mean will rot, as the old saying goes. have all our ersgs in one basket.
