“The Strongest Memory in Weaker Than the Weakest Ink."

TL‘lT-1Sli.~\\', JLIF; 17, 2911 S31 Million In ling Premiums

Recently the Federal Minister of Agricul- ture, Hon. J. G. Gardiner, gave a statement on agricultural subsidies in the House of Com- rnons. This showed that a sum of S3i,Z4Z,944 had been paid to producers as premiums on hogs slaughtered up to Janluary i, i947.

Dominion Governmenthog premiums were introduced by order-in-council on January 24, i944. The order authorized the payment to producers of $3.00 for "A" grade and $2.00 for "Bi" grade carcasses of hogs delivered to inspected and other establishments approved for government grading. As stated at the time the order was announced, its purpose was to encour- age the production of hogs to provide the quan- tity and quality of bacon and hams to be ex- ported annually to the United Kingdom. A two- year contract, to export 900 million pounds of bacon in i944 and i945, had just been negoti- ated with the British Government. The initial basis of premiums remained operative until April i, i946, when the present premiums of $2.00 for "A" grade and $i.0O for "Bl" grade wen made effective.

The total amount of premium paid to hog producers in any one Province was dependent not only on tho volume of gradings but also on tho quality of the hogs produced. For ax- ample, tho over-ail average per hog received in Ontario was $i.85 compared with with $i-44 in Manitoba and $1.56 in Alberta. The over-all average par hog received in the Maritime Provi- lncos (which are lumped together in the table ilauad by tho industrial and development coun- cil of Canadian Meat Packers) W05 9-30 0! against an average for all Canada of $l.6$.

Were the figures for Prince Edward island ‘an independently, they would probably show gilt our producers received the highest over- all average hog premium of any Province.

Link With "Treasure island"

For lovers of Robert Louis SQEVOHSOIl-fl geoap including every boy who has read "Treas- ura lsiand"—aa obscure item in the newspapers raaalfa a fascinating story.’ in Los Angeles Lloyd Oobourne is dead at tho age of 79.

This is the man whom Stevenson met in a Pranoh inn in i876. Osbourne was a boy then, ataying with his mother, Mrs. Fanny Van de Grift Osbourne. As soon as the young Steven- son saw Mrs. Osbourne he fell in love witlrwhier T her in the United States. Tlraa, Stevenson acquired Lloyd for a stepson.

At that time Stevenson was iust embarking on the soa of literature and Lloyd was able to haip him. in "The Wrecker," a blood-and-thun- der romance, written for pot-boiling purposes, the stepson collaborated with Stevenson and seems to have been a useful partner. But Os- bourna will be remembered by the young reader of romance for a still greater service to the mortar.

Wiian Osbourne was a child he draw a map of a far-off, imaginary island, as most small boys do. Stevenson came across the map and it gave him the idea for "Treasure island," which is likely to endure as long as the Eng- lish language is read and as long as there are boys in the world.‘

Now Osbourne is dead and his death sev- or: a string of memory which stretched from that first accidental meeting in France to far- off Samoa, where Stevenson died in the arms of Osbourne's mother.

"The Humanities Gan llelp"

Reference was made in these columns rec- antly to the publication of o new and valuable addition to the list of academic works, entitled "Tire Humanities in Canada." The work is fin- anced by the Rockefeller Foundation and spon- sored by the Humanities Research Council of Canada. it constitutes the first survey of the position of languages, literature and the fine arts in this country, and is edited by Prof. A. S. P. Woodhouse of the University of Toronto and Prof. Watson Kirkconneil of McMaster Unl- versity, Hamilton. The 287-page report deals chiefly with academic work at the university and college level and is partly the result of fiv-e de- tailed questionnaires sent to university presi- dents, deans or registrars, department heads, librarians and individual scholars at institutions across Canada.

Drawing the attention of a materialist world to the importance of intellectual and artis- tic development the authors say there "is an act- ive function for the humanities in our time in applying the powers of the mind to the vast human need and problems of the present."

They call for a "serious stock-taking of aims and methods" of modern society. "The world has grown small and explosive. An intimate knowledge of the various peoples and civiliza- tions of our times is urgently needed, not merc- ly for survival but for any possibility of the posi- tive enrichment of an interrelated world.

"The humanities can irelp in this task, not merely in providing the tools of language but in comprehending, largely through the medium of language, the intellectual, aesthetic and moral systems that are the main-springs of character and conduct in profoundly different civiliza- riona."

it is worse than a scandal that so little i5 done to supply the internal Canadian market with fresh edible fish. The demand is iherc waiting to be filled, but the bureaucrats, who now run the government, sit idly by with the self-satisfied reflection—-"the public, who are the public? The public be damned."

Made from glass fibre, it is the first time it has been successfully produced‘ anywhere in the world, and is a United Kingdom dzvclop» merit which might never have occurred had it not been for the war in the tropics. Trocps in the Fdr East found that ordinary cotton wick! were quickly eaten away by termites-often evln before they were issued from stores. At the re- quest of Britain's Ministry cf Supply, the oldest tirm of lighter manufacturers in Britain were asked to provide something that would defeat rne termites. They did-anddiscovered that in addition ‘to this quality the wick would not burn away or deteriorate. Thus, once it hasbeen fit- ted in a lighter it never needs replacing, nor even lifting up. i fi

Bin-According to the American '

Federation of Labor in its "Month. Li’ Survey" for Aprrl, Russians, or nearly 1o per cgnt, or the entire Soviet. population. arel held in concentration camps on charges of disloyalty to the Com-q murilst regime. them by the secret police, And no one so seized, it. l5 53rd, had Edy fight. of protest or appeal, m- any chance whatever of receiving l. fair unbiased trial by jury or court judges.

As only 5 per cent of Russians, so committed to slave labor arej ever released by the government» it follows therefore that 95 per cent of this vast army ofnvork. ers are doomed to perpetual ser- vlsude. It is also pointed out in the "Monthly Survey" may gingg the war. Russia has thus enslav- ad more Russians than Hitler ever did!

Naturally many thousands of proletarlans, thin-sting for freedom. would like to emigrate to freer lands, but they are not allowed to leave their country. In line with her dictatorship policy. Russia lakes very strong measures to prevent any of her citizens from leaving home.

Here is an incident recorded by Sherwood Eddy in his "Chal- Ienge of Europe." which sheds a lurid light upon this point: “Some years ago, 149 people out of touch with Soviet methods, attempted to get away from Russia by crossing the Amur River on the ice. Nine- teen got. over, four of them ivound- ed. All the others were shot."

In contrast with that. drastic. and exclusively Red method of retaining its citizens, the people of the United states, Canada and Brazil, out. of their generosity of heart. would be glad, I am sure, to assist all Communists wlihln their borders to emigrate to their Russian El Dorado. and avail themselves of the luxury of Sov- iet freedom and discipline. and the full enloyment. of an entirely anti-Christian environment. to- rzether Will‘! the boon of con- stant. employment and secret. police surveillance.

In all three countries the loss sustained by Communist emigra- tion would not. be great, while on

the other hand. the conscious- ness of having done a generous act. would be ample compensa-

tion. I am. Sir, etc.
