S DON'T OVERDO POLITENESS Exaggerated politeness points you out almost as surely as too little politeness, says Margaret. Kemodie. writing on Common Courtesy. Courtesy overdone appears more like awkward book-learning than graceful consideration of others. It makes you seem ill at ease and often leaves the other fellow un- comfortable as well. Actions that put politeness into a prim and proper category often imply: “Custom demands this courtesy or I wouldn't be bothered with it." A man sweeps his hat off his head, bows to every acquaintance on the sheet in a slightly Victorian manner which marks him as a town character. ' A friend jumps up as if he were spring-operated, to seat someone who comes into his office. He seems over-anxious to please, and unsure of hi5 own hospitality. And there's the octopus hand- shake. which is no better acknow- ledgment of friendliness than the jellyfish handshake. Of course. the solution to over- doing courtesy-is to take it easy. Natural kindness and pleasant dis- position will come to your aid in any correct but moderate manners campaign. And often you can assist. the other fellow in his own adjust- ment to easy amenities.

The raid came less than 24 hours after strong forces of Japanese troops landed at salamaua and Lac under s. shower of bombs from low-flying Australian planes.

The Minister has a bill before the House, which has received first reading, providing for this increased payment. Both mixiisters made clear there was no intention of encouraging an enlarged wheat acreage to meet the enlarged quota of deliveries. 'I‘hey luid the wheat acreage should re- main about 20,000,000, the point it reached. as s result of the wheat ‘sci-eagle reduction D0110! adopted n 1 . The when»: acreage reduction payments program is being eon- tinued this year, with encourage- ment for coarse grains production retained A bill covering this part of the program was introduced by Mr. Gardiner last week and has received first reading. gubmit Plan To obtain increased production of three farm products, Mr. Gar- diner submitted the following 1. A minimum price 0f 60 cents a bushel, basis in store Fort Wib lirun, for Winnipeg barley futures as well as for all cash barley, basis No. 2 C.W. 6 row. The wheat board will carry out this policy and pre- pare regulations. 2. A minimum price for oats of 45 cents a bushel, basis in store Fort William. for Winnipeg oats frtures as well as for all cash oats. basis No. 2 CW. This policy will also be administered by the wheat board. 3. A fixed price for fiaxseed of $2.25 a bushel. basis Nu. 1 C. W. in store Fort V/iiliam. The Wheat Board will be empowered to pur- chase and handle all fiaxsced de- livered by producers in 1942-43. Trading in futures and cash flax will be stopped on all Canadian marl-rots at some date to be de- termined. Maximum fiuxsccd production is sought as Counda and the United States must take stops to increase their production of vegetable oils to replzwe sources cut off by the war. Fiasiseed assists production o! animal fats which can be used as substitutes for vegetable oils. Mr. Gardiner, in a review o! agricultural prices, said it was evident that in most cases they had reached the level attained irr the 1926-29 period. He said it was generally urged by organized agri- culture thut the government should have as its objective the establishment of prices for farm products equal at least to the level of that period. similar to 1926-29 Period Where ceiling prices had been placed on farm products they were aimcst the same as those prevail- ing in 1926-29, and when increas- ccl volume was taken 111w M00117“ the return to the firmer W“ probably higher. Floor prices of agricultural pro- ducts were higher for the third year of the war than they were for “Wheat and coarse grains are the two products which we have not yet. advanced to prices which bear favorable comparison with the average prices for 1926-29,” Mr. Gardiner said. The problem of coarse grains was not so serious because much of this production was fed on ‘i116 farm and when sold in the form of livestock or livestock DTOdUCY-i returned a mice BPPTWKi-Ymdimfi that of 1926-29. The average return for wheat in 1936-29 was $405.000.000. While in i941. including all acreage pay- ments, tt was only $210,000,000. "It is to improve the position of the farmer who depends 111861? upon wheat that thc advance on wheat has been increased from 70 to D0 cents," Mr. Gardiner said. The increased payment would represent an increase in revenue of l maximum of 56.000000. “which will still cave the wheat farmer at least. . 75,000,000 bEiOW the 1926-29 level.‘ he said.

The acreage reduction in i941 had been esti- mated at, 9,000,000 acres Bind it was the desire to hold wheat acre- age at "around 20,000,000 or 21,- 000,000 acres.” Describing the position of the wheat grower, Mr. Gardiner said a line drawn from Morden, Man, to Llcyclminster, sash, and another lizic from Lloydmmstcr to Calgary and the international boundary, mapped the northern limits of an area in which it was difficult to produce anything in great volume but wheat. "The important fact is that 1,- 000,000 pec-ple are living south of that line," Mr. Gardiner said. “South of that line you have cities such as Regina and Saskatoon and, over in the province of Al- berta. Calgary and all of the other smaller cit-ics which we have in Western Canada excepting the Province of Manitoba. . . "When people are talking about closing up that area, es some are risposcd to do, they are talking about taking care of 1,000,000 peo- pie; and if they are proposing to take cnrc only of those who are on ire fillTllS, and on farms upon WhlCll only wheat can be grown to ucivsntage. they are going to be asked to take care of at least 500.000 people. . . "with that picture in front of us may I say that it is for these people. particularly, that 20 cents a bushel has been added t-o the ad- vance which was placed upon wheat." ‘The farmers who had reduced their wheat land by 9.000.000 acres in 1941 had done so to help win the war. "It took at least $l00.000.000 out of their pockets, and we did not by any means put it all back in again." the Minister said. tempted to. it is tnie. but the poor crops of last year made that im- possible." Mr. Gardiner said that further regulations in connection wit-h the program would be enacted by order-in-council to assist in the plmduction of coarse mine and of ax, The wheat program applies to the three Prairie Provinces and the chief wheat-producing areas in British Columbia.
