represents average daily consumption as it is, rather than as it should be. A properly balanc- ed diet would today cost 430 francs per day. Inasmuch as the average monthly earnings of semi-skilled French labor lost May were 10,000 francs and of skilled labor 12000 francs, it can readily be seen that French working-class fa- mrzies must spend 80-10096 of their income for food.

France After Exports

oul

According to the l-zrnzs of on agrezzncnt re- <ently signed at Wellington by Mr. Walter Nash, New Zealand Minister of Finance and Mr. Ar- mand Cazel, French tainistcr to that country, New Zealand will open the first foreign credrr in its history to France, principally for purchases

' of raw wool. Last year, France bought three and

one-half million pounds sterling worth of wool from New Zealand. The present agreement gives France a credit of five million pounds at 2.5922 interest, payalble not loler than December 1957. If bath contracting parties so d-esire, France can purchase other products from New Zealand. M. Cazel thanked the New Zealanders for their con- fidence in his country H: pointed out that under the terms of theagrcemc-rt, each New Zeolander was actually lending France three and one-half pounds.

The French woolen industry was cut off from ‘rhe rest of the world during the war and the oc- cupation and is now bending all efforts to re- cover its former foreign markets. The need to meet domestic requirements made it impossible for French woolen manufacturers to start export- ing before the second half of 1946. Neverthe- less, wool exports for 1946 totalled 7,300,000,000 francs worth (approximatzly $61,344,500), that rs 30% of the total value of textile exports for that year. During the first five months of I947, wool exports totalled 7,226,000,000 francs. ($61,- 310,900) as compared with only 895,000,000

" "francs ($7,521,000) for thecorresponding period

‘of 1946.

Exports are of primary importance for French wool industry because they alone make rt possible to finance imports of needed raw mater- ials. During the next few months, both the manu- facturers and the workers will concentrate on increasing production jn combing and weaving plants and on improving the quality of finished goods destined for foreign markets.

According to recent statistics, food currently consumes almost the entire income of skilled workers, white-collar workers and government employees in France. If 2500 calories is token as the average daily adu't requirement, the cost

‘ of a day's food for the French workers is 335 years ago, on September 3, 1943, Allied armies, including the Ist. Canadian Infantry Division, invaded southern Italy after a successful, whirl-

The beneficiaries ‘of 54 pdrsons who died in Prince Edward Island during the first six months of 1947 received $84,824 from life insurance companies operating in Canada, the Canadian Life Insurance Officers Association announce. In all of Canada during the six-month period $34,- 678,940 was paid out irr death claims by the life insurance companies. Prince Edward Island's payments were mode on 52 individual ordinary life policies and on two group policies.

On the whole. no grant inna- vcnlence was caused by tlre double system; others coming ta New Glasgow or Plctou had to hustle u blt and while the citizens regulated by Daylight Time could lake things easily 1n visiting fries-ids outside, but were amazed haw late their stays were 1n their own hour-terms.
