Tiie Furnace In Spring

In not a few homes the heating system is of a portable kind, and its removal and storage during the Summer months gives additional room indoors. For those whose furnace is a permanent fixture, however, this is the ideal time of year to have it fully overhauled. Defects which show up during the cold weather must either be ignored, with consequent danger and loss of effici- ency, or repairs are carried out at the risk of freezing both the pipes and the family.

It is not widely appreciated that many heating systems are effective air circulatnrs even when fires have been drawn. To take full advantage of this as well as to be pre- pared for a distant but inevitable winter, it is necessary to have a thorough cleaning job done both on the furnace itself and on its pipes and registers or radiators.

The insulating effects of even a very thin coating of soot are well known, and householders will certainly make sure be- fore the cold weather again comes around that the heat he provides goes into the house and not through it. The necessary measures might just as well be taken now while they are merely desirable rather than urgent.

Going Too Far

A Liberal member of Parliament, and from Toronto of all places, is urging that the word ”Royal" be dropped from the Canadian Navy and the Canadian Air Force, and presumably from specific units and branches of the Canadian Army. Fortun- ately the proposal has met stout and in- dignant opposition.

”We have accepted the Defence order

- that 'Rule Britannia' shall not be used any longer as the musical salute to top-ranking officials of the Navy,” says the Ottawa Journal. "We have seen this Government quietly playing down use of the word Do-

. minion', have noted attempts to abolish Do- minion Day iself, suggestions that a Cara- dian should be next Governor General. Those who have some regard for history and

Q tradition, and for our association with the I British Commonwealth and Empire, have i looked upon such things asspringing from i I the minds of a few supernationalists more concerned with the letter than the spirit and obsessed with the idea of proclaiming our status'.

"But when a Toronto M. R, an ex- Major, proposes to abolish the iroyal' pre- fix in the designation of our armed services it is time to protest, and vigorously.

"To us there is something mean and un- derhand in all this niggling whittling down of our association with the Crown and the Commonwealth. And, if it matters to this latest worker in so unworthy a cause, his proposal if adopted would be a gross insult to the King-the King of Canada."

Mission To Germany

At a time when Western opinion is un- dergoing some change with regard to Ger- many and the future of that country with- in the community of Western nations, the Ottawa Citizen sees more than ordinary significance attaching to the appointment of Hon. T. C. Davis as chief of the Canadian mission to the Allied High Commission in Germany. The mission will be located at Bonn, the capital of Western Germany, in- stead of Berlin, where it has been since it was established in 1945 under Major Gen- eral Maurice Pope. Mr. Davis leaves Can- ado tomorrow for Germany.

As former Canadian ambassador to Na- tionalist China, Mr. Davis occupied a key position in the Canadian diplomatic service. His two years in China coincided with the end of an era in the Far East. His new as- signment in Germany, it may be, will coin- cide with a new era lnilsurope. in placing sicivliian in charge of its mission to Cer- mnny, Canada is assisting the policy, which all the victorious powers will have to adopt in time, of replacing the military control of Germany with civilian administration. It is too sdon to draw up a peace treaty wth Germany, but it is becoming too late to ne- glect longer the problem of resuming full and normal relations with Germany. The cold war makes any final settlement of Ger- many still impossible. Common sense re- quires that Germany's position and rela- tion to the rest of the world be put on a regular basis in the general interest. Mr. is one of Canada's senior diplomats unbnudorlsl rank and his diplomatic

in Bonn "will be "one" of the most , t for the intelligent development of M foreign policy in the next few

Canada's whole immigration policy is reported to be due for review. Such an ex- amination certainly seems highly necessary if this country's development is not to be impeded by the relative difficulty would-be immigrants encounter in settling here rather than in sterling area Australia.

Dr. Sumner I-I. Slicker, Harvard Uni- versity economist, informed the Canadian Manufacturers Association: ”I don't think it is in American interests to bargain in tar- iffs; I think we should make unilateral re- ductions. We are giving to the world about S5,000,000,000 in goods more than we are getting; I think it is in our interest to raise our imports by S5,000,000,000 as fast as possible." So say we all of us.

Britain's nationalized hospitals cost more than f-175,000 (S1,429,750) a day to run during the first nine months of the National Health Service. During the period July 5. 1948 (when the service opened) to March 31. 1949, the hospitals spent i127,925,7l.t5. Their income for the period was lE9,308,l41. These figures were given in the accounts of the regional hospital boards, published by the Government, covering hospitals in Eng- land and Wales.

There were no expenses in connection with the appeal, and the total amount received, together with a duly audited.statement, will go forward to the headquarters of the Fund in Manitoba.

Prince of Wales College is, of course, a junior college, rather than one offering the full arts or science courses, and it is cer- tainly not a degree-granting university with member colleges and professional schools. None the less, P. W. C.'s acceptance as a member of the Maritime Universities' Coun- cil is no empty gesture. She has long made most important contributions to Canadian education and is a perpetual memorial to the fact that size is not a really important criterion of educational success or prowess.

As s. result of gains in purchasing power in today's mass-distribution economy, the average citizen in 1950 will consume 21,5 times as much goods as in 1900, says Mod- ern Packaging. "A pound of butter today costs perhaps 10 times as much as it did 50 years ago. But in 1900 the average factory worker laboured an hour and 47 minutes to earn the price of his pound of butter; to- day he gets it as the product of 31 minutcs' work. In 1900 it took 27 minutes' work to buy a quart of milk delivered at the work- er's home ln comparison with 9 minutes now."

The development of retail trade is on the increase. Industrial selling costs are too high but are coming down. is the consensus of over 300 purchasing agents queried by Pur- chasing. Sixty-eight per cent of the re- spondents stated that they notice a definite effort on the part of suppliers to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of distri- bution. A totai of 81 per cent said sup- pliers in their areas are increasing ware- house facilities for better distribution. Over 50 per cent claimed they were being solicited by suppliers operating beyond their na- ounl or ooonomciol mu-kotlng arou-

It will strike many people that a project, of this kind is long overdue. At present. while our own potato growers have surpluses on their hands. dehydrated potato powder from England is being sold throughout Canada. This clearly indicates that a demand exists for the product, which is conveniently packaged and easily prepared.

For the last twenty years the per capital consumption of poin- tooes in this country has been de- cllning. Authorities claim that this is because more and more Cann- dians are watching their wnlstllnes and avoiding fattening foods. There may be some truth in this theory. But it should be remembered that the tendency of the housewife is to favor foods which she can snap on the dinner table in the shortest least possible effort. Potatoes. In the':' natural state, don't fall in this category. They take longer to cook than canned vegetables. But thnt isn't the case when they are pre- cooked. dehydrated and powdered.
