Britain's campaign against venereal disease she likened to the Cau- adian cumpaign. Basing bet hopefulnm for the ultimate defeat of the diseue on the steady progress for our; made in Britain between the two wars, she said that with the wholehearted support of the men and women 0f Canada, ven- ereal disease would no longer be a. real problem here. A defeatist attitude towards the cam- paign she felt wll a. big obstacle to its success: i i l l Notification has been received from National Defence Headquarters of reports that mmfl units and individuals 0f t-hi Clhlflllfl Arm l" Canada are wearing the khaki beret. a _hey point out that while the beret has been officially adopted by the Canadian Army Overseas, it has not as yet been introduced for use in Can- ada and permission has not been granted by N.D.H.Q. for any unit or individual to wear this type of headgear hero. It is learned that immediate steps are being taken to ensure that the khaki beret will not under any circumstances be worn by units or individuals until official noti- fication is received of its introduction for use in Canada. An exception to this ruling, they point out, may be permitted only in the case of officers and other ranks 0f the Canadian Army Overseas who have returned t0 Canada. on tem- porary duty, 0r on leave, or for discharge. a a a a Long Island potatoes, which farmers held in the llOpe 0f getting high prices just before the new I944 crop came in, are being bought by the U. S. Government and shipped to dehydrat- ing plants. They will be turned into cattle feed 0r processed into alcohol. Meanwhile, growers tool: issue with Mayor LaGuardia’s statement that it would be easier t0 obtain human consump- tion of the new bumper crop if prices were low- ered. The farmers say this is not so and con- sider the suggestion impractical in view of Government price-supporting policies. Mr. Fred Vahlsing, one of the country's largest growers, said, “The Mayor wants potatoes five pounds for 15 cents, but who is going to unload them, sack them and send them to the consumer for that price when under the Government scheme they bring $2.75 a. hundred or almost three a pound at wholesale here?” a n- a Lend-Lease or not: lend-lease, Russian soldiers don't like U. S. lend-lease butter, which con- tains 35 per cent vegetable matter, and their government has insisted on a. drastic cut in the allotment and rejected a vast amount already under ivay 0r earmarked for the Soviets, the War Food Administration reveals. The mix- turc has been labeled "Carter Spread", and Am- crican soldiers also refuse to use it, WFA sources (lisclnses. Despite the rejection of the mixture in many quarters, plants in New York, jersey City, Philadelphia and Chicago are continuing to convert vast quantities of last year's butter into Carter Spread. But under the reduction order from the Soviet Government, only one- third of the original allotment will be accepted, and shipment 0f butter oil will be stepped up. The WFA also discloses the U.S. Government has 82,000,000 pounds of butter packed in stor- age, as against 16,000,000 a year ago.
