Three diseases to which children iveire more or lees subject. namely, diphtheria. whoovlve cough and tetanus-the letter not a0 oom- mon-their cause, and preventa- tive measures to be employed, were clearly explained. Dr. Found stat- ed that an anti-tetanus serum was now being ueed- which would be a preventative to the three aforesaid diseases. In regard to tuberculosis, which was referred to a; the greatest killer, the speaker was pleased to note that the death rate has decreased greatly during the past few years, which goes to prove the worth of the effort put forth to educate people along the line of preventative measures. gpeniclng of the splendid work d ihc Mobile Unit, the speaker stat- ed that there is 50 per cent of the people still not X-rayed. Fear is an element which retards this and the need oi propaganda to remove ihis, and establish confidence _to further the fight against the dis- casfi is very necessary.

PROSPECTS FOR (Continued ere... ‘page l) the United NatlonaJ/ho said that for the first time in history. through the work oi F.A.O., tho fishing industry "is being looked at. on a global basis." Mr. Bates, supported by W B. Lee of Halifax, Louis Berube of Ste. Anne de la Pocetiere, Que. and H. C. L. Ransom of Ottawa. .led discussion at the afternoon sessions oi the conference at the first cf its three-day talks. less Canned Flair Needed 0n the subject. of canned fish. the Deputy Minister said that the normal pro-war market fur east coast canned fish other than sat- dines might be estimated at 100.- 000 to 150,500 cases. During the war, prod-uction of canned herring, mackerel, chicken hactdie and flak- ed fish was cimonded by an ag- gregate of at least 300,000 cases. for which there was no prospect of a market in the normal trad- ing between buyers and- sellers in today's market. He said this would necessitate a out-back in production of these, products, and. a diversion of raw material to other products for which there is at present _a stronger demand. He made it clear that the Fish- eries Prices Support Board was bound by the precise limits of iis powers under the act. It could buy or sell the production of s division of the industry. where such action would be the logical course to sustain the income of fishermen. Alternatively, the Board could make deficiency payments direct to fishermen for the loss of in- ccrne by the disruption of a par- ticular section of the industry. Mr. Bates said the Board was not empowered to set floor prices, nor to perfonm any of the functions of positive control such u exercis- ed by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board under powers vested in it by Parliament. Every action on the Prices Support Board was subject. to approval of the governor- ln-eounell. The Board had power to recom- cnend only. and than cam’ Ni fuoh progrecna as may be i deter- mined by the Cabinet. He made l! clear, however, that in the case of canned firm. the Board prepared to purchase up to , . to 150,000 oases of oemned mackerel herring and groundfish.

Wake up our intestinal tract for real relief from lndlgee on, caused by constipation. conatip OISOIJSSES PROBLEMS (Continued drcm Page 1) were gelling to most of us but we tnust admit from this distance that they were beneficial. “To my mind the most import- ant factor was the extensive ad- vertising policy instituted. Yes, it cost a lot of money in relation to the number of cases marketed. Nevertheless the result was that the entire pack has been market- erl on this continent and contin- ues to bc done. I agree that the impetus of war conditions played its part. but l still believe that results or this good advertising placed lobsters in a position not known before in the Western hem- lsnherc. “I think a word of caution should be injected here with re- gard to export marketing nf lob- ster. Undoubtedly with a bare market, prices may be hid to a high level. Such a level in my opinion will be fraught with don" 52c: because there is n definite change from the buvirig-nt-any- price period ci 1946 to that ex- periencod today. If prices go he- yonrl the consumers‘ ideas then encllss harm, to mi." lobster fr.- dusiry will result. Other Canned Fish "i turn now to those other typos of canned fish mentioned before. By this I moan the canning of herring, in various forms, mack- erel, chicken haddic, etc. If l’: were l0 nok you to name the most valuable canned fish in most parts of the Maritimes, the aswer would undoubtedly be lobster. Perhaps they are, but in my opinion the conning of these other fish, gear- ecl as it is to meet past demands. i-quni, if not surpass, the actual no’. value of lobster to the prim- nvy producer. when one deducis the cost of production of lobsters, (with rope. twine. lumber, gas, short period of employment, over- head, etc, all adding up) from the grrss money return. T think he would bo surprised with the iiet value of our lobster industry. Iticiefore 1' maintain that the cziziriiiig of herrinz, mackerel and vhir-krn haddi-v are a vital neces- l-lly to the present standard of llVlTlf, now enjoyed throughout most of our fishing communities o.’ tin-so Eastern Provinces. "Hif picture before u. iv w is the opposite to what l have tried t_ pi-cdlct to: lobster. 1t is also tr.- rmiosile to that viliich laced ihi- industry last. year. (lovem- n-n". purchase; _n"e are toll‘, are at an end. Private exports are at an end too. Most of the import- ing countries of the world are confronted with a dollar shortage, and unless some canned fish are moved under the ‘Marshall ‘Plan’ the outlook for East Coast packed fish is very dismal for this year. We wait uith suspense the ‘Debut’ of th"'s plan. Sn far a. tentative list. of proposed purchases in Can- sidu docs not mention fish. A Washington retool-t mentions her- ring. etc. if the Marshall Plan gets under way it is rny under- standing that Canada will per- tiolpate in contributing to the fund. If we do that. then the De- partment of Fisheries must use every effort to hare canned fish included in the purchases. "l-lei-e we are today in Canada straining every effort to meet other overseas commitments in beef, bacon, eggs. when these pro- tcln foods can he supplanted by fish from our coastal waterswliere lies protein food abundant and i-eiotively cheap and able to do much to alleviate the dire distress ollhesc people a-oross the seas. i\'o Other Solution "Much ea 1 dislike tc even aug- gest Government participation in business, I see no other solution to forestall that depression which the withholding of Government ‘support’ funds will cause to our iislieriolk. 1 see no immediate re- lief from the dollar situation. It is not a laok of desire to purchase our canned fish, but a lack of dollars. Therefore ‘our canned fish should be medi- available Iiy one plan o. another to those nui cle- sh-e to obtain it. “True it is that some foreign countries needing relief are riot familiar with our species. Also lty of canned Canadian fish. ‘This I must leave for later discussion. "What 1 do insist. must be done is the making of immediate effort to remove this first depressive situation from the lives of our people who go down to the sea in ships. i do not. need to tell you the world is desperately in need of food at this very moment. There are still stocks of so-callez‘. ‘distress packs‘ of fish such as kippcrcd snacks. fish cakes. sar- dluca, in Canada today whirl‘ should be made available to thr st-ii-viug people of Europe.
