Dr. J. J.

In report- ing these holdings, the bureau of Statistics said Oct. 1 is the peak point of the year in stocks of butter. Cheese holdings in the nine cities were $39,897,853 pounds, against 51,710,978 lastl year. Cold storage holding of eggs showed a marked decline, with 357,499 dozen reported for Oct. 1 against 5,838,918 dozen on the same date last year.

Protestant Orphanage Appeal

The annual collection for the lhotestant Orphanage opens in Charlottetown next Tues- day. Never since the founding of the institution, it is emphasized, has thc necd been so great. There arc more children to care for, the main- tenance cost is higher, and there are extensive repairs which must be attended to.

It is not ncccssanv to elaborate on the splendid work thc Orphange is doing, or on the fact that its mainiciiaiicc is among the first of our ob- ligations as citizens, in wartime as at other times. The children in the Orphanage come from all parts of the Province; practically all of them are between the ages of three and twelve —the vitally important years of childhood from the standpoint both of health and character build- ing. The collectors giving their services vol- untarily, and it is hopctl that the public response, us in the past, will be prompt and generous.

The irrepressable Sir Thomas Beechani, or- chestral conductor, is having his fling at B.B.C. radio management. In Vancouver hc declared the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was "not only the worst (broadcasting system) in the world but has the reputation of being the worst." Sir Thomas asserted the C B C was “weak” and "spineless" and blamed it for what he said was a constant migration of Canadian musical talent to the United States. He had a good word, however. for Canadian music but cautioned "it is not good enough to regard music as something that is to be heard on records or kept in library shelves. Beethoven, Wagner, Tschaikovsky, Bach wrote their music to be played iii concert halls."

Here is a tale of woe emanating from Ottawa: Without the ringing of bells or the stabbing of the night sky wiili festive beacons the Canadian home 15 returning home, and with the restor- ation of this institution have come changes in the social sct-up almost too fantastic for fiction. Suspenders used to be an expression of mascu- line responsibility but what are suspenders with- out buttons? Now that the women are hiding safety pins in their jewel boxes and other amaz- ing places men will soon lose their ambidexter- ity for one hand Will be needed to prevent in- decent exposure, when buttons pull off and if they insist upon their replacement with silk thread. They can't even turn to the ancient trick of substituting nails for the component parts of what were once a familiar sight on the tool bench are now being fully occupied in killing Germans. Then, too, men must rise earlier in the morning for the dishes have to be wiped, not even the possession of a Ph.D. will grant deferment - and they get home later for there is the call at the corner grocery to carry what used to be moved by a motor car, now confined to . ' " jaunts. And the women are not immune from war's dislocations. This year more than last they are obliged to pool their ivoman-power. She who formerly stayed the week and did almost everything now does the washing at on; h0g5; in the morning and at another in the after- 00011. and ‘I'm accustomed to a full meal at noon, none of your assortment of yesterday's scraps.’ The steam laundrics are having time of jg, Local advertisements show they are ready to pay wages that would have been attractive to some college graduates two years ago, and {hose who respond to this public invitation won't be asked to worlc any 44 or 48 hours a week."

Seed Potatoes In Argentina “There is no lack of interest among dealers

and growers in imported Canadian seed potatoes

this fall," says a report from W. B. McCul-

Aircs, Argentina. “Argentina did not import seed last year, consequently all available seed is second-generation or later. As a result of the drought in the Balcarce seed zone during the last growing season, domestic seed will have sprout- ed excessively by November."

The principal varieties of seed potatoes which had their origin in Canada are the Katahdin and the White Rose.

“Without some quantity of imported seed this fall to serve as foundation stock," the report says “thc situation might become serious in 1944, which could create a demand for imported certi- fied seed potatoes such as has not obtained since 1937. The domestic seed will then he third-gen- eration or later, which is considered near the maximum l1. maintaining good quality seed in Argentina, unless the weather conditions are more favourable than average. The Seed Potato Certification Service is considering, as a. tem- porary measure, a programme of planting seed

of maintaining domestic seed for longer periods.

"if shipping were available and c. i. f. prices not excessive,” the report concludes, "there would be a good demand in Argentina for seed potatoes this fall."
