GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Wellington, N.Z.--(CP)--A claim by the government's economic in- formation service that a man earn. ing under $20 a week in New Zea. | land can have an automobile and-a refrigerator if he spends his money wisely has aroused the ire of trade unionists who claim that such things are luxuries beyond the reach of | the skilled tradesman, who earns about $25 a week. The economic information serv- ice said that in a working life of 40 years a worker on $19.20 a week earned more than $38,400. A pre-war survey showed that the average family spent 35 per cent of | annual income on food, 22 per cent on housing, 12 per cent on. clothing, | 6 per cent on fuel and. lighting, 3 | per cent on household equipment, 4 per cent on insurance and '4 per cent on transport. Part of the re. maining 14 per cent. was saved and the rest spent on small luxuries. By cutting down on these non.essential items, this money could be saved to buy refrigerators, cars and radios. Before the war, New Zealand had one of the highest proportions of cars per capita of any country out- side North America, but prices today are making many people who have saved up for an automobile wonder if they ever will be able to afford one. The smallest English cars cost from $1,600 to $2,000 and. the low- | est.priced American or Canadian cars are about $2,300. Even in bet. ter homes refrigerators are far from universal, "Such utter balderdash has never been written before," declared T.

Cancer Facts Show Many Can Be Cured Following the organization meet- ing Friday night of the Whitby | Branch of the Canadian Cancer | Society, members of the executive got right to work passing out in-: formation about their objectives | and asking for some material help from the citizens who will directly benefit. The main functions of the So- | ciety in Whitby are as fpllows: | 1. To aid in co-ordinating the' efforts of individuals and organized bodies to reduce mortality from cancer, 2. To dissemitate knowl- edge about cancer, and the ad- vantage of its early detection. 3. To give aid in investigating the nature of alleged cancer cures when | so required by a Dominion or Pro- | vincial Department of Health. 4.| To obtain money by way of public! appeal. | The bright hope and keynote of Dogs Vanish But No Clues As To Whether They're Stolen College Seniors Hold Annual Stunt Night The Seniors of the Ontario La- dies College here held their an- nual stunt night in the auditorium of the College on I'riday evening.

Though not intended to be an "educational" picture, this superb interpretation of Shakespeare naturally has a special appeal to teachers. Arrangements have been made to dismiss the Public and High Schools early so students can attend the matinee at 3.30. There is only one evening show- ing at 8.30. Longer than average, | running time of Henry V is two hours and twenty minutes. An in- | termission will be given to allow theatre-goers to stretch their legs. During the war Olivier was granted leave from his naval du- ties to make "Henry V,",a story of ises to be a unique experience. It is not entirely a conventional mo- tion picture. Part of it is a direct photographic record of a stage presentation of the play filmed in a replica of London's famed Globe Theatre. Scenes that could not ad- equately be executed in the theatre, however, were made out- side--in Ireland, to be exact--with thousands taking part in the battle scenes. In fulfilling all the demands made upon him by the production of "Henry V," Mr. Olivier hopes, by his new conception of present- ing Shakespeare on the screen, to prove that motion pictures. cannot only - be good entertainment but can also provide a wide cultural field for young and old alike. The enthusiastic approval accorded the film in those American cities, in which it has already been shown seems to indicate that "Henry V," combines the proper ingredients strong patriotic appeal.

Fully six weeks before the twenty-fourth of May 'it is a common sight to see excited groups of children lighting a match; then they scatter and shout at the sharp little explo-, sion. Firecrackers are back this year with all their excite- ment and ¥azards in the hands of children. Apparently rockets are still banned. We would be the last to suggest that fireworks be abol- ished yet the serious accidents that occur every year from their use malse one pause in an attempt to assess the relative good and ill from the sale of these explosives. About the only conclusion for the average parent is that the strong fascination fireworks have for children gives equally strong cause for parents to see that stringent measures of caution are carried out. It's a sad thing to see a child suffer an injury which could have been prevented. i § Seed Co-Operative DoesBig Business Edmonton -- (CP) -- The young- est producer co-operative in Alb. erta is no longer in the small busi. ness class. In seven years it has grown into a $2,000,000-dollar busi. ness annually and its name is known over two continents. The Alberta Seed Growers Co. operative was organized with $50,- 000 and less than 300 members. Today its plant at Camrose, Alta., is valued at $125,000 and there are almost 5,000 members. Each year the co-operative pro. cesses and ships 8,500,000 pounds of alfalfa, clover and lawn seed and 360,000 bushels of wheat, oats and barley seed. More than $175, 000 worth of sacks are used annu- ally to ship the seed to the United States, England, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Belgium and Yugoslavia, The main export mar. kets now are the United States and Belgium but before the British economic crisis, Britain used to be one of the go.operative's best customers, However, some seed is Love Scene From Henry V still going over for British lawns, pastures and crops.
