The British cheese Market

it is doubly disappointing in view of a recent statement by Agriculture Minister "Gardiner, to note that the United Kingdom will likely be forced to discontinue purchases of Canadian cheddar cheese. Last year 25,000,000. pounds were purchased at a price of more than 07,500,000 but Britainls fi- nancial crisis has made the continuance of this arrangement impossible. At a recent meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Mr. Gardiner had given as- surance that his colleague, Finance Min- ister Abbott, was finding new ways 10 fit nance British purchases of Canadian 'dQl'l- culture production. g ' As Saturday Night notes in an editorial in its current issue, Mr. Abbott unhappily was doing nothing of the kind, nor had. he any opportunity to do anything of the kind. British people very badly need more food from Canada, and Canadian farmers would be delighted to produce the food for -them if they could pay for it. But the baffling fact is that they cannot pay. In the Prlfscllt circumstances, adds Saturday Night. It 15 "unki-ndly deceptive" to hold out hopes for increased British expenditure on Canadian food. "This was one of the Gardiner long shots that landed far into the rough." Our dairy producers will undoubtedly be adversely affected by the elimination of the British market for cheese, and it behooves Mr. Gardiner and his associates at Ottawa to see; every means of obtaining substitute markets.

g Medicine's New Era

Delivering the Dalton lecture to the Royal Institute of Chemistry, Lord McGow- an (Manchester Guardian report) spoke in part as follows:

The most striking bpplications of chem- ical knowledge in the last century have been in the fields of medicine and surgery. In 1851, for instance, smallpox was common and there was considerable risk of typhus. typhoid, and even cholera. The death rate was about 22 per 1,000, or practically dou- ble what it is today.

Chemotherapy-the treatment of disease by means of chemical substances-haslim troduced a new and great era of medicine.

Among the medical discoveries mention- ed are the anti-bacterial properties of pen- icillin by Fleming, and its development as an antibiotic by Florey and Chain; the sulpha drugs. thanks to which pneumonia is no longer "captain of the men of death" and puerperal fever is now becoming com- paratively rare; the development of the sul- phone group of drugs against leprosy; and Paludrine. which gives complete immunity from malarial symptoms or blood infection.

Owners of shaggy dogs in Communist Hungary must turn over to the state all hair more than three-quarters of an inch in length. The hair, it seems, is urgently needed for industrial purposes. Authorities in Zagreb state that a reasonable remun- eration will be paid to shaggy dog owners who co-operate. Dire punishinent is threat- ened for those who defy the national inter- est by failing to keep their pooches trim- med to within the three-quarters of an inch decreed by law.

Official Ottawa, concerned with increas- ing industrial output in this country, might find it worthwhile to request the Canadian diplomatic mission in Zagreb to keep them posted on,the potentialities of dog hair for defence. After all, Canada can probably justly lay claim to a larger shaggy dog pop- ulation than Yugoslavia.

Such 3' scheme to step up production in ,Ca.nada would, however, probably call for fsome amendment of the criminal code. Own-

According to the Canadian Association of Broadcasters "CBC now receives a Gov- ernment subsidy from general tax funds of 56,250,000 per year. This is in addition to 55,500,000 a year in license fees, and just under two and a half million a year in com- mercial revenue. This subsidy of very close to 312,000,000 a year is spent to attract an average of 11.956 only of Canadian listen- ers, thus more than 80C? of Canadians benefit in'no way from this subsidy since they do not "care to tune in, CBC-produced programmes."

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR

Slr.-Our country doctor is only a human being and not 3. piece of machinery. who has been in med- icai practice for thirty years in Hunter River and the surround- ing district for many miles. The district of North Rustico is ten miles from this genial doctor and there has been an elJld9miC 01' mcasels followed by a dozen or more cases of pneumonia. besides other illnesses. It is only through Dig-inc Proyidcnce and the skill- ful hand of Dr. J. R. Murchison that every child has come through the ordeal. The question is. has the Depart- ment of Public Works and High- ways given us a fair deal with the snow plough? I would say No. as there have been as many as three or four days after a storm during which we have never seen a plough. and our doctor has made calls when it was almost. impos- sible. He has made as many as three trips in one day, administ- ering to the sick children. It is of no use to phone the De- partment for a. plough; the ans- wer is that the plough is on the way down, and you see it three days later I may say that when I was President of this branch of the Canadian Legion. I kked one of the officials about opening the road so that we could get a doctor. The answer was,' "Let him take a horse and sled. the same as they did forty years ago." It must be remembered that we had five doctors within the some area. and Dr. Murchison could not cover his sick cnlls in a week with a horse and sled. As I said. he is not. it piece of mach cry but very human. llc knows what. hardships are, as he suentmmny long months in the trenshes in Flanders Fields as a soldier in world War One; and he is still fighting. only in a different. way. going around administering to the sick and dying twenty-four hours a. day. and doing on c cel- lcnt. job. Give him fair play a d a decent road In travel on and he will got there! I am. Sir. etc.. ROY DOIRON North Rustico. P. Ii. I. I X

Sir.-I wonder if some one could give in satisfactory comment on the facts and questions listed below?

I purchased some sausages along with other meats last week. and I was charged wholesale for the sausages -i7'.9 cts. per lb. I would have to retail them for 55 cu. per lb. Port to the farmer. for the past three or four weeks was from 25.: to 27:: per lb.; this is. I understand. top price.

In August. 1951. when park was between 35 to (lac per lb.. I still paid Wile per lb. wholesale for sausages. This was August 6th in- voice. From then on to late in November the price of sausage: kept the same and pork prlchs to the farmer declined. In February. with prices below the-loll and sum- mer prices. we are charged the same price as in August.

There seems to be quite a dif- ference. I the s lner there win a spread tom 1 to file psr'lb.

'fi-om the price paid to the farmer to the price the retailer paid whole- salc: now at today's price the Errand is around 239.

Royal Archers As Bodyguard

The oldest archery company still existing in Britain is the Royal Company of Archers. with head- quarters at Edinburgh. which has records dating back to H176. Al- though it began and remains I sporting society. it has acted since the reign of King George N as King's Bodyguard for Scotland When the reigning Sovereign vis- ited Scotland the members of the Company. in their striking dark green uniforms and feathered bon- nehs. formed a bodyguard on cer- emonial occasions.

In a history of ”'I'hc Royal Com- pany of Archers 1676-1951", pub- lished by William Blackwood and sons, 45 George Street. Edinburgh 2. the author. Ian I-lay. records that the members included Allan Ramsay. the Scottish poet. elected in 1743. Robert Burns. elected in 1792. and sir Walter Scott. elected in i821. This was apparently ll period "when the Royal Company were much addicted to the com- position of verse" and Ramsey had the title of the ”Archers' Bard".

Today membership of the Com- pany is an honour much sought after. Since World War II most of the shooting takes place in the gardens of the Palace of Holyrood- house, but before then the range was on the Meadows. an expanse of green sword near Edinburgh Castle. It was there that. in 1791 a duel wlihbows and arrows took place between two members-but neither scored a hit. A contest is held trlcnnlally between teams from the Royal Company and the Woodmen of Ardenpan old Eng. llsh archery society. whose head- quarters nre at Merlden in the ancient Foresf of Arden at the very centre of England.
