CCF Urges Beosi in Paymenis To Unemployed '

OTTAWA, (GP)-A ccr member renewed a demand Tuesday that the government incrmse unem- ployment insurance payments dur- ing the present unemployment per- (in.

Mr. Knowles spoke during the fiith day of the debate which be- gun with two motions of want of confidence in the government. Pro- fzressive Conservatives called for a parliamentary committee studv of unemployment and the CC? party -r.-,k-d for direct government ac- tion to,"prevent further economic distress"

Jobless Increase

Latest unemployment figures. rcieascd Feb. 15. showed 524,000 persons looking for work at Jan. Zl through the national employ- mcnt service, l86.fI)o more than at Dec. 10 and 140,000 more than a year earlier.

The Bureau of Statistics estim- ntcd 230.000 jobless ti Jan. 39 90.000 more than in early Decem- be' and 93.000 more than a year earlier.

Mr. Knowles said that between 1945 and the outbreak of tthe Ko- rean War. unemployment became worse each Winter. Now that th- Korean War had ended. unemploy- ment has returned worse than 0761'.

The government did not like talk of recession and depression but in fact the basic economic nlioblem of the l930s still existed it merely had been relieved by two wars and the cold war.

The year 1953 was a profitable one for the poultry producers of Prince Edward Island reported Mr. ,1". M. Nash in making his annual report of the poultry in- du.st:ry at the Agricultural Confer- ence meeting yesterday. It was also one of considerable expan- sion. The year featured high egg and poultry prices to producers and the building of several large laying houses. the most outstand- ing of these being the house built by Ivan Dawson in Cental Bede-

que.

The first chicken barbecue'ever hold in Prinw Edward Island was at the Experirnerital Station on June 9th. This event was a huge success with approximately 800 persons being served. Many com- pliments were expressed and it was felt that this event did much to publicize the poultry industry. A bigger and better barbecue is planned for 1954.

The shipment of mature pullets to Newfoundland continues to be a profitable addition to the poul- try industry. In the vicinity of 40,- 000 puiiets were shipped in 1953. The Newfoundland trade is fast becoming quality conscious and is turning to the Island's better breeders to supply the bulk of their requirements.

During 1953 the chick and poult

Profitable Year For Poultry Producers

hatcheries enjoyed a . successful year. 761.!!! chicks and 32,944

turkey pouits were hatched. 17. on chicks and 22,260 poults were exported. 45.000 chicks were im- ported. Nearly half of all chicks hatched were the NI-IxBiP'R cross. Average hatcha-bllity for chick habcheries 737.; and for turkey hatcheries 'fB'lc.

At the present time some main- land chick hatcheries are offer- ing chicks at greatly reduced pricas. Island hatchcrics have had to follow suit or face the possib- ility of losing much of their busi- M58.

A large amount of R.O.P. breed- ing stock has been exported from this Province for the past five years. Sales of New Hampshire R.0.P. males and fernalu have gone to Nova. Scotla. New Brun- swick, Quebec and especially On- tario. Whita Leghorn R.O.P. males have been sold in Nova Scotla New Brunswick and a. large order of 480 Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys were sold in Quebec.

R.0.P. breeders have greatly in- creased their capacity during 1953. The number of individual breed- irilg pens have been doubled. They are now operating under a. revis- ed R.0.P. policy which holds much promise for the improvement of poultry together with the reduc- tion of much unnecessary labor.

OTTAWA, (CPt -- At lcast four times as many Canadians will be inoculated against poliomyeiitis this year as last, a Federal Health Department official says.

Plans call for inoLulation 01 100,000 to l40.000 persons with gamma globulin. Li blood deriva- tive. Last year. about 25,000 per- sons. mostly children, were in- oculated in Canada.

The Health Department recog- nizes that gamma globulin is not the final unswcr in the fight against polio. Health Minister Martin has said that there is lit- tle Justifleatlon for uliduc optim- ism concerning use of gamma globulin as a polio vaccine.

At the some time. the official said Tuesday. gamma globulin is the only polio vaccine now avail- able, it is better than nothing,

and its use will be expanded in Canada until something bette) comes along.

M3! B0 Soon

That "something better” could arrive soon. Connaught Laborator- les in Toronto now is producing 1 polio virus from monkey kidney: which it is sending to the United States for development of a new polio vaccine. This vaccine will be tested on some 500.000 children in the U. S. this year.

Gamma globulin was uscd on A large scale in Canada last. year for the first time. A committee of experts suggested it he tried in Canada after U. 5. icsis appar-

ently sliowcd that it can help to prevent polio in some cases and lcsscn crippling affects in others But it does not provide complete immunization and inoculations are good for six weeks only.

The Federal Government pro- vided 5480.000 in grants to Con- naught Laboratories to produce gamma globulin from blood sup- plies left over from the war and to the provinces to buy the vac- cine. In addition, the Federal Government also provided another

51,000,000 for polio research, poliol

clinics and respirators for patients.

This year, the government plans to make grants of 5750.000 t.o pro- vide gamma globulin to the prov- inces and further funds for polio rcsearch. Toronto research work- ers, for instance. are checking water supply and sewage as pos- sible carriers of polio.

Study inoculations

Meanwhile. a study is being made of affects of gamma gloo- ulin inoculations carried out in Canada last year. All the inform- ation is not yet complete and re- sults are not expected to be known for some time.

A sideiight on the use of gamma globulin is the fact that new workers dealing with polio virus at Connaught are inoculated with gamma globulin.

The Red Cross now is collect- ing blood for gamma globulin use It. receives a grant from the Fed- eral Government for this work.
