Palestine refugees. merchants from Syria and Deb- nnonuhave flocked here during the last few years to help Saudi Arabia spend its annual jackpot of 350000.000 in oil royalties.

Inside the palace, the king has his harem-and modern freezers To the traditional Arab fare of rice and mutton he adds canned fruit juices and ice cream.

Veteran Pilot Retires From The Air Force

TORONTO. (CPI-A veteran pl- lot who once crossed the Atlantic in a glider retired from the RCAF Sunday.

Navy. army and air force offi- clala assembled at suburban Downsvlew airport to bid farewell to Wing Cmdr. Fowler M. Gobcil. 40. commanding officer of RCAF station. Toronto.

He has been with the air force since 1927. and now plans to join an industrial firm in the adminis- trative and personnel field.

During his career. Wing Cmdr. (label! has been chief daredevil in a flying circus, a trophy-winning airplane racer. a flying boat cap- tain and a parachutist.

When the Second World War started. he was given three weeks to get a Canadian squadron to- gether for the RAF.

"We did it too." he said. "but It was tough." Wing Cmdr. Gobeil himself acounted for the first plane shot down and added six mrrc be- fore being sent back to Canada to train pilots.

The glider trip was made at the end of a tow rope. when the BCAF wondered Whellwv , -2 by glider would speed things up. The flight proved otherwise.

The trip started at Montreal. By the time they reached Goose Bay ghey could see the tow rope fray- Ill

We taped it..up." Wing Cmdr. Gobeil said. "It didn't do any good. but at least we couldn't sec it fraying any more." They made it safely to Scotland.

He took over in 1953 as command- ing officer in Toronto. where he w i be replaced by Wing Cmdr. Joseph C. Miraballi. 48. of Quebec.

Gout Drug Has New Role With Cereals

WINNIPEG. tCP)- A drug that first earned its place as a treat- ment for gout: is playing a vital role in the search for new cereal crops.

The drug. colchiclne, is used to treat sterile hybrids, crosses of two related plants. which are in- capable of rei1l'0ducing themselves. The drug extracted from the ant- umn crocus renders them capable of reproduction.

, Prof. B. C. Jenkins uses the drugs in his plots at the Univer- sity of Manitoba.

The plots. dedicated to funda- mental research in wheat. are al- most a pictorial history of present- day bread wheat and a forecast of what is yet to come.

MANY VABIETIES

Among the cereals are primitive wheats. crossed with some grasses to produce common wheats. Bread wheat. for example. can be pro- duced by scientists today b cross- ing primitive wheat with Mediter- ranean goat.-grasses.

Another plot contains a grain which is half wheat. half rye. It is one of the cereals which had to be treated with the drug.

A third is producing perennial wheat. developed by Prof. L. H. Shebeski. head of the university's plant science department.

One reason for this research is that new races of rust may some day menace all known varieties of wheat, Prof. Jenkins said. Then nist resistance will have to be sought from related cereals.

Included in the many research projects being carried on are chemical and cultural weed con-

trol; oil it crops such as winter and sum er rapeseed and soy- beans; new varieties of barley

and new rust-resistant wheats. in- cluding rust-.esistant. durum pro- duced by subjecting the Stewart and Nugget varieties to radiation.

It cannot hope to turn had milk into good clean milk. Pasteurlzation will kill infectious. germs and about 99 per cent of other bacteria. which though not disease producing will affect the quality of the milk. Paateurization will delay further spoilage and lengthen the keeping quality of poor milk, but it cannot restore the quality of clean milk lost through bacterial growth pre- vious to pasteu IEIIIIJII.

lnumber of bacteria. none of which

are disease producing.

The presence of visible dirt when milk is filtered is often taken as a measure of its uncleanliness. Viaible dirt is a sign of gross care- lcasness in handling of milk and such milk will have a high number of germs. Milk may be seriously contaminated and not show visible dirt. Clean milk then should be more than clean to the eye -- it should be bacteriologically clean. CONTAMINATION OF MILK

From the time it leaves the cow until it is consumed or used in manufacture, milk is constantly subjected to bacterial contaminat- ion and growth. Every change from one container to anothe . every hour it remains at ordinary temperature adds to its total germ content. The number of bacteria in any sample of milk will depend on the amount of contamination from outside sources, and the a- tent to which the added bacteria have increased. The production of bacterlologically clean milk de- pends on keeping outside contam- ination at the.lowest point and checking the growth of germs that enter. which of course, is done by cooling.
