Oceanography as a science is less than a century old. In 1872 the British research ship Challenger began a 69,000-mile voyage through three oceans, finding--with miles of sounding line-the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Much more recent have been expeditions sponsored by the Na- tional tlcographic Society, Colum- bia Univr-rsity, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to learn more about the submarine geo- graphy and geology of the Atlantic. Based on their findings and those of similar expeditions. the map gives a three-dimensional grasp of an ocean far more detailed and com- plete than would have been possible even it few years ago.

Bank Presiclenl's Warning The serious situation affecting agriculture in Canada is emphasized very strongly in in address by Mr. L. E. Lal)elle. president of the Pro- vincial Bank of Canada, delivered , at the Bank's recent annual meet- in

l

ing. The heavy suipluses of some commodities. Mr. Labelle points out, have a depressing influence on farm prices and the resulting decrease in the revenue of farmers naturally in- i volves a fall in the demand for l goods produced by others, and there is a tendency for all prices to come down. On the other hand, the re- duced purctlasing power of farmers ; may be offset by other factors. In- l

A Humorous Approach

Reports from Britain indicate growing opposition in official circles to the proposed visit of Soviet lead-

ers, arranged tentatively for next flationary measures may eventually Mawhg The Change, of Course. ,3 be taken to that effect and we could due ,0 me am1.B,.,,-lsh campaign

then witncss the simultaneous de- velopment ob a widening gap be- tween prices of agricultural and in- dustrial products and a rise in the general level of prices.

It would seem that a situation of this kind is already shaping up. In a free economy it is bound to lead eventually to a serious state of un- balance. In this connection Mr. La- belle recalls what happened during the years 1927 to 1929. In a con- trolled or managed economy, a break-uip can probably be avoided. at least temporarily, by means of inflation. But how long could this last? "Unless definite measures are taken to improve the situation of farmers," says the Bank president,

Sections of the British press. however, are not taking the new turn of events very seriously; in- deed. some of the papers appear to be more amused than angry over what has taken place.

POTATO TARIFF QUESTION

Sir. -I wish to refer to the cur- rent weekly News Letter of the P.l:1.l. Federation of Agriculture and particularly to the section wherein the writer seeks to dim- inish the importance of Tariff matters in relation to our potato problems. It is stated lilierein that marketing. disease-con-trol. and promotion aretof greater import- ance than the Tariff question.

Let us examine this statement more closely. How can one say bhat marketing is not closely as- sociated with Tariff? For ex- ample, this year our exports of table potatoes to United States are practically prohibited due to . a tariff of 37V.-c per cwt. in- versely the marketing of any American table potatoes in (Jan- ada would be an impossibility with a similar impost on U. S. potatoes entering Canada. In the fruit and vegetable business of Canada, our fruit growers found that the admission of mixed fruit Ik-nown as Fruit Cocktail) uhlcr a low rate of duty practically ruined our growers. and Canatla was forced to increase the duty I

to save bha' hidiistry.

Tariff p. .ection is all-import- ant to reserve our Canadian mar- kets for Canadian potatoes. With- out our domestic markets land we cannot count on any. without Tariff protectiont it is useless to dream of a vague entity referred to as ”marketing."

One must agree that disease- oontrol and promotion are very important, bu-t it would be folly to expend great effort in pro- moting or maintaining A disease- free product which cannot be sold due to Tariff barriers on the one hand and lack of Tariff pro- tection on the obber. How many potatoes can be sold in- New York under the present Tariff set-up, no matter how great our promotion or how disease-free our product? back of a protec- tive Tariff still remains the most

serious problem facing the Prince Edward Island potato in- dustry.

MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

Sir,-Once again. to a world that needs its magic influence so ter- ribly, comes Cbristmas Whzit a host of memories are recalled in the minds of many of us as we hear that word We can bear the sleigh bells heralding the arrival of uncles and aunts and cousins. We can smell the aroma of the Cbristmas turkey. in bird carefully selected, and specially fed for weeks in advance. so that he would be worthy of the great event. The reddest and juiciest apples from the orchard polished until they shone; the great long table laden with the choiccsl products of the soil: Mother bus). fliisbed and proud as she hears the chorus of admiring Obs! and Abs!

.. We can see again the beloved faces at the table: grandfather in the honoured place. and the small est grandchild by his side. bright shining faces of childhood and l eager youth, and the faces of mothers and fathers marked a little with shadows of care. We can hear the laughter. and the good talk, young voices blending with the old, in B harmonious symphony of love.

We can see the Christmas tree, , brought from the swamp by the I boys, lovingly decorated with festonns of coloured popcorn. uilh piles of mysterious parcels in its shade.

In spirit we attend again the ser- vice ln the little country church. and hear the Christmas story of the shepherds and the Star, Mary and Joseph and the Baby who lay in a manger; the immortal hymns of Christmas come back to us as they were sung with heart and soul by simple people who loved God and each other.

it seemed as though the :i.i-.1:-l's song "Glory to God in the High- est. and on earth peace. Eoorlwill 81110118 men" was echoing down through the years with renewed meaning to the hearts of these men and women and little children.

Well. it is not good that we should dream too much of the past. lovely though it may be, We must live today: what about (fhrislnius '0d8y7 The sleighbells have reced- ed into the dim distance. But Christmas is still Christmas!

Poor folks of Galilee.

Yet our democrasy is founded upon the Christian faith. The worth of the individual man to God is enshrined in Christianity. and if we lose sight of the meaning of Christmas, we have lost the heart of Christianity, and the very found- ation on which our democrasy is built.

So Christmas is more than a celebration, it is more than a holiday, it is a declaration of our faith. It is a great shining ideal; it is even more, it is a prophecy. for so long as we keep faith with Christmas and sing the Christmas songs with meaning and sincerity, there is a certainty that (oodness and truth and love will not perish from the world. and there will be "peace on earth. and goodwill amoniz men".

And on a day. they meet all in a place,

And when they meet, they one another mar.

And they be these: the wood, the weed. the wag.

Then bless thee. and bewaiu, and let us pray

CANCER. PRECAUTIONS EVERY ONE COULD TAKE

Surgery X-ray.and radium are the only tried and proven methods of curing cancer.

Research is carried on constant- ly and various other methods treatment are being studied and tested every day. The Soclew of American Bacterlologfsts. for ex- ample, recently announced malt- ing the first step toward develop- ment of a cancer vaccine.

GENERAL USE

At the present time. however, none of these other treatments II reliable enough for general use.

Generally. surgery is used more frequently than X-ray or radium treatments in the United States. If the cancer has not had time to scatter its wild cells throughout lie body, surgery usually can produce a permanen cure. Provided it is detected early enough, life-threat ening cancer can be removed com- pletely.

Cancers differ in their nature. Some grow rapidly, others grow slowly. Same resist radiation. some are helped by it-

Usually. radium and X-ray treat- ments are used for certain types of cancer where surgery would be ineffective or impossible. In some cases, both surgery and radiation are employed.

Cancer cells divide more rapid- ly than do healthy cells. Thus. X- rays tend to destroy immature cau- cerous tissue rather than the healthy cells.

In the same manner. radium al- so attacks the malignant cells in preference to normal. healthy tis- sue. In some instances. the radium is placed in direct contact with the ca-ncerous growth. In others. radon, a gas produced by radium. is plani- cd in cancerous areas in small capsules.

While great advances have been made in treatment of cancer, pro- bably thc most hopeful advances thus far have been made in the quick diagnosis of the -disease.

X-ray photographs, for example, will give a doctor a surprising am- ount of information about cancer- nus growths in internal organs. For more easily reached growths. tiny sections may be removed and ex- amined by patbologists under mic- FOSCOTIPS.

Dnt-tors can do a lot to help you defeat this disease. providing you give us a chance to help you.

If you notice one of the danger

1 signals, see your doctor right away.

Do not wait. A delay might cost you your life.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

L.E.M-: What are the symptoms of a fistula of the rectum?

Answer: The symptoms of a fist- ula are pain and very often there is bleeding; sometimes there in constipation. Surgical treatment is usually required.

We have long advocated the ideal of balance in Canada's econ- omy. This country cannot be too dependent on any one aspect of our development. In one sense, we can liken the national economy to in huge machine. wherein even the most insignificant and obscure part is important. If we carry mi; analogy a bit further. although like all figures of speech, it in true only up to a point, we can see the necessity of keeping each department of our economy lime- NODIUE smoothly if the great machine is going to work at its best level of efficiency.
