OLEOMARGARINE TO REMAIN By a vote of 83 to 57 the House of Commons early Tuesday morning voted. against a proposal to prohibit the manufacture and importation of oleomargarine in Canada. This de- cision will be received with approval by members of the Local Council of Women, as a fortnight ago they adopted .a resolution favoring the aale of oleo in this country. Ten years ago popular sentiment was strongly against the sale of the butter substituse. At that time there was good reason for jt, as the qual- ity was by no means good. But that was before the day of specialization, and in the intervening years machin- ery has been found to make oleo which assures an article of good quality being placed on the market. This improvement in manufacture, .and also the greater demand for the butter substitute, came about during the. war. The high price of butter during those dark days, together with the increased cost of other ar- ticles, compelled the small wage earners to look for substitutes. It wag then that oleo gained favor, and in some instances expensive plants were installed by manufacturers 'to meet the demand. Since the war there has been 2a ceaseless demand from the dairy in- | dustry to have the ban again impos- ed on oleomargarine. Each year a fight has been waged on the floor of parliament, and on each occasion the members representing dairy con- stituencies have been defeated.

When the addi- tion is completed the unit will equai in size the company's huge Cleveland plant--the largest body building fae tory in the world. "The new building and equipment will represent an expenditure o more than $2,000,000." continues the Free Press. "It is of concrete fire- proof construction, 1,000 feet long with 650,000 square feet of floor space, making a total of 1,282,000 square feet, or 30 acres of floor space for the combined unit--which equals the floor area of the (Gienfral Motors office building on West Grand Bou- levard, the greatest building of its class in the world. y "The completion of the new build ing will mean the employment by the chmpany in its west end unit of from sanitary conditions, and sold as oleo and not as butter, should be avail- able for those who desire it.

Consumers who | have used both aver they would rath- er use good oleomargarine than poor dairy butter. Parliament did right in acting for the good of the largest number. to ex- "*CANADA'S FISHERIES Fisheries in the waters off both coasts of Canada in 1921 produced a revenue of $18,866,062, compared with $26,857,952 in the previous year. This slump in the revenue was attributable to several causes, chief of which was the falling off of a large part of the demand for Cana dian fish, which had been created by war-time conditions. The drop in the market price of the product also had considerable effect in reducing revenue, while the coming into efiect of the United States emergency tariff in May shut off to a large ex- tent the supplies of fish whieh had annually gone across the horder to the United States, says a report 'on the industry. British Columbia continued to lead the provinces @f Canada in the matter of value of sea fisheries with 4 revenue of $8.359026. Nova Scotia at the other extremity of the continent, took second place with a value of $6,738,309. The value of New Brunswick sea fisheries was $2, 073,615. Quebec accounted for $1,- 244.704, and Printe Edward Island $451,048. Salmon continued to maintain = healthy lead as Canada's greates: fish revenue producer, accounting for a total value of $5,040,022. Cod was hext with $3,654,130. Halibut ac- counted for $3,403,936, and lobsters for $2,962,487. The only other fish to exceed the million mark was the' herring with $1,098,681. Mackerel produced a revenue of $776,960; smelts, $712,660: haddock. $436 - 701; hake and cusk, $i13.552. and oysters $92,977. . British Columbia's most valuable fish was, naturally, the salmon, with a reveaue to the province of $4,412.- 239; followed by halibut, with $2.- 996.242. Cod led in Nova Scotia With a value of $2,614,257, followed 600 to 10,000 people and 'withir it Cas every process of 'hody-build [ing will take place from the time the raw materials enter antil the finish od bodies leave, ready Tor the chasis | * 'Becanse onr Cleveland plant i | unable to take care of all of the con |stantly growing demauds for Buicl land Chevrolet closed bodies we am [compelled to round oul our develop ment projects even earlier than we {anticipated a year ago," said Fred J | Fisher, president of the company."
