every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 ti in usa 2o0 a- v nolan so publishers notes and comments no big canada is a eak population of 15 million enough for canada asks the financial post editorially in commenting on a recent survey of the dominion bureau of statistics which indicated that maximum for canada if present trends con tinue comments the post compared to some of the optimistic boasts made during our greatest expansion period this maximum growth seems fantastically small those optimists however completely ignored three vital factors which were to check our increase materially alter 1914 these were 1 heavy emigration to the united states 2 smaller canadian lamilies 3 sharp decline in immigration from europe whether they were optimistic or not the fact remains that the builders of this country had much mor than a mere 15 millions population peak in mind transportation government and general develop ment were planned on a scale much greater than would be normally carried by a narrow strip of population along the northern edge of the united states but unless we want to and do something about it then we must reconcile ourselves to a total growth little better than that already reached there are some who argue that this is just an inevitable result of geography climate and economics but that means that those 15 million people will have to carry the overhead of a country more than half as large as europe that some day they may have to convince an overcrowded world that we have no room to spare if we think 15 million people will not be sufficient to dear such a burden then something must be done at once about those three factors which our fathers overlooked that strong pressure was applied to force the signing of a preference for deportation to many of the neisi japan will be as alien a country as it would be to you some day this inhumane act will rise up against us and smite us or our children with a mighty repercussion just before the war the writer visited vancouver and learned firsthand that the japanese were the best kind of workers men women and girls we heard from the lips of prominent vancouver citizens how line the japanese girls were in canadian homes as domestic helpers testimony after testimony told of their willingness to stay in employ ment in the evenings looking after their children faithfully energy in lump of sugar do you know that every time you put a lump of sugar in your cup of tea or coffee you are handling a commodity which if the whole energy were immediately released in your body would have a result very similar to that of the atomic bomb a lump of sugar is pure carbohydrate and if the energy contained in it were given out at once in the body of the human or animal eating it there would be a conflagration it would be such a violent outburst of energy that it would literally burn up the consumers body so that he and the food would alike be consumed thats not the reason that sugar is being rationed nor the reason that it is going to cost more in the future than it has for the past several years but it helps to explain why sugar is so important in human diet and why one of the first actions taken by britain and the nations allied with her in the second great war was to create a pool of avail able sugar supplies a l bacharach ma fric in a broadcast over the bbc short wave system on food values explained that the amount of energy available in food or required by the body is always expressed in calories one calorie is the amount of heat necessary to raise one kilogram of water by one degree centigrade or about five pounds of water by one degree fahrenheit lay that pistol down babe up at ottawa bill 33 was recently introduced as an act to amend the criminal code if this act becomes effective and we hope it will magazines must alter their way of doing things because this is what the proposed bill says in every

prints makes publishes or who knowingly imports into canada any book or magazine on the cover of which appears any picture or drawing depicting the pointing by one person of an offen sive weapon at another person or the shooting by one person of another person with an offensive weapon if such picture or drawing is intended to or does illustrate or represent a holdup robbery murder or other criminal act or intention the bill doesnt go far enough if it fails to curb the showing of murders and gun duels on the screen as well here it is probably more damaging to youth than the picture magazine a deplorable thing w when the truth is written if ever concerning our treatment of neisi canadianborn japanese it will reveal one of the blackest pages of canadian history the immortal storv of evangeline sprang from the expulsion of the acadians now on the west coast of canada we have another evangeline waiting to be written it is the stoiy of mass deportation to satisfy color prejudice perhaps depor tation could be excused during a period of war hysteria but nothing can excuse the disgraceful confiscation of property real estate agents had a fieldday beyond even boom days politicians local and federal threatened to resign if one jap remains between the mountains and the coast why what crimes had this little handful of people committed the premier of canada admits that there has not been a single act of disloyalty or sabotage a kind of spanish inquisition has been probing into the thoughts of these people without a country it is pretty well understood strikes injure the nation and workers too with strikes breaking out over the body of the nation as measles do over the body of a child one begins to wonder if there is a doctor in the house so said maurice r franks in addressing the united states senate committee on education and labor recently mr franks said that to be sure labor had a right to strike in order to attain its just objectives that cannot be otherwise achieved but so far as he could see some of the present strikes were just foolish manipulation look where you will today anywhere around stouff ville and we find shortages in all lines due to strikes many of which were just foolhardy pieces of manipulation work ing people suffer most from strikes as we see it and the nation is greatly weakened that permits strikes one thing that impresses us as strange is that many who favor these work stoppages invariably point to russia as representing the ideal way of life well they dont permit strikes in russia and those who attempt to stage one are quickly put out of the way one outstanding fact and a fact which should make labor readers think seriously before resorting to the strike weapon is presented by mr franks as follows as a simple example of the tremendous burden upon taxpayers for work stoppages may i remind you that in the first few short weeks since the recent strikes began applications for public assistance have increased by approximately 500 per cent a strike is thus shown to be an artificial depression which forces workers to go on unemployment relief when- they might be fully employed and receiving wages while their grievances are being considered in a spirit of mutual trust and cooperation bulldozers and ddt strong medicine bulldozers and ddt are strong medicine in the opinion of the farmers advocate london ont and there is dan ger in indiscriminate use giant machines are now avail able to ditch land and drain swamps with no more manual labor than merely pulling a lever or pressing a button but is all this advisable one school of thought contends that the country is already overdrained causing floods and droughts dry wells and failing streams in the realm of science a new wonder insecticide stands out as a terribly effective weapon in the battle against insect pests the danger is it is not selective in its killing it destroys good and bad alike entomologists warn that ddt may further upset natural balances that insect populations may be so reduced with unwise use that crop production will decline because of inadequate pollination of flowers agriculture is progressing dangerously fast wptb and questions answers q last year tickets for junior oha plavoffs games were 1 and 50c this year the price was raised to si for seats which were only 50c last year also students were always given a special section of the best seats and this year they were given very poor seats does the board allow such price increases and changes a there is no ceiling on price of admission to hockey games as far as the students are concern ed it would seem that it is up to the management of the arena to allocate whatever- section they wish we are afraid the board could not undertake to set regulations controlling the seating arrangement at all the hockey arenas throughout the country your letter also men tions the fact that scalpers were selling tickets above the regular price this would be a matter for police investigation and if you noticed such sales being made it was up to you to notify the nearest police officer q on july 10 1915 i purchased a house and gave the tenants notice to vacate when the notice was due the wartime prices and trade board told me i could not put these people out i have been back several times but they still say the same thing when can i give notice and how much must i give as i desperately need this the old home town 1wu 1 c by stanley house a while we appreciate the acute housing shortage we must tell you that you cannot give these tenants notice to vacate the wptb freezing order pro hibits the giving of notice to tenants in selfcontained hous ing accommodation except in some special cases your ease would not be one of these q i was charged 6c a lb last sat urday for waxed turnips was i overcharged a it would seem you paid lc a lb too much 5e a lb is the ceiling price for waxed turnips of the type you bought as you have given us the name of the grocer we will check his prices at once q would you advise if i was overcharged when i paid 19c for a lb of prunes and 155 for a 50 lb hamper of potatoes a prunes are priced according to size and as you did not mention the size we could not say whether or not you were overl charged if the prunes were large ones 19c was not too much the ceiling price for the i 50 lb hamper of potatoes which you purchased is s162 so voul were not overcharged q is there still a ceiling price on sugar i never have paid more than sc a lb but enclose a bill j from a small store near my i home where 1 had to pay 9c a there certainly is a price ceil ing on sugar stores are not allowed to charge more than they charged during 1911 each store has its own ceiling price and you will find that a few places charged 9c at this time and they are allowed to charge the same price now q i bought an expensive dark brown muskrat coat from a reliable firm two years ago since then i had my coat pro cessed at a fur plant now the fur is falling out should a fur coat do this if not what should i do a sorry this does not concern wptb regulations we would suggest you make a complaint in writing giving the particu lars to the manager of the firm which treated your coat they may be able to help you if not and you still feel the process ing firm was at fault take the matter up at once with your solicitor 0- we never paid more than 55c for a five pound bag of dog food now they are charging 59c for it at the same store i asked the clerk if they could raise the price she told me that since the price controls had been lifted they can raise it if they want to is this right a no price ceilings were sus pended on a list of 300 non essential articles and others in good supply dog food was not among them therefore it is till under ceiling price regu lations thank you for giv ing us the name of the store we will refer it to the wptb investigation office at once for attention stanley theatre
