publishers notes and comments lewis will ruin industry there are about 135 million people in the united states- the chances are that approximately 80 million could tell you if asked what they think of john lewis the majority of these would have an opinion as to what president truman should do to john l but if we took all their opinion looked them over and weighed them carefully i doubt if out of this mass of public opinion you could find a remedy which would put things back where they were before john l lewis decided to deny the existence of a contract and let the men walk out on strike the truth is that no matter how the strike is settled the memory of it will linger for a long time in the minds of the people of the united states they know that there is one labor leader willing to pull his men out of the mines at the beginning of winter paralize a great deal of american industry run the risk of freezing a good many people and do it not for the benefit of the workers of the united states not primarily for the benefit of the coal miners but the prestige of john l lewis every time such power is exhibited it sets in motion other forces which working over a period of time tend to break the strangle hold of despotism slowly this is coming to pass gas electricity and oil are replacing coal back in 1920 after the close of world war 1 569 million tons of bituminous coal were produced in the united states 394 million in 1939 production has been as low as 310 million tons since the first great war despite the increase of industrial production the use of coal is declining from year to year improvements are taking place in methods of combus tion everything that science can do towards the elimination of a product which is costly and carries with it an element of uncertainty will be done science will solve the problem the gas turbine engine may take the place of the engines now in use with marked reduction of fuel costs per unit of power produced the world will not continue to be at the mercy of a despot who thinks only of his own glory and not of the welfare of the nation in which he lives when this storm broke we felt that the united states might just as well grant the demands of lewis let the workers of the united states know the whole story they would realize then the cost of submission to arbitrary power- they would begin to realize what this means to the coal miners in immediate loss and restriction of future business the trouble with that approach is that if the government were to yield to john l lewis there are 100 potential copies of john l lewis in the united states they too would be after their pound of flesh y 5slzv johnnie comes flying home fw f cytfr susie slagles sonny 1 friday saturday dec 1314 e tufts ife buttermaklng 3iachixe slashes costs 70 pc buttermaking costs are reputed to have been slashed 70 per cent by the fritz buttermaking machine that is now under test at ottawa by the national research council the germans also had a continu ous process of making cheese and dairy researchers at ottawa hope they can get the equipment furthermore they see no reason why cheesemaking costs cannot be cut materially by the process perhaps not quite as much as in butter but materially there is in ottawa and in other dairy research centres interesting progress in the development and use of milk powders all opening su gestions that in a matter of years delivery each day of whole miik by fleets of dairy wagons and trucks will be a thing of the past once a week delivery instead the dairy wagon perhaps once per week will deliver a weeks supply of milk powders it might just as well be once per month but the dairy people will probably prefer to keepin closer touch with their customers the suggestion envisions reductions in handling and delivery costs and obvious re ductions in refrigeration outlay mostly water jhiiu he jajje es sjaipueasah is mostiy water so why haul a lot ottawa notes canada is not going

for the installation ownership of the property of water around besides they say milk the way it is causes a lot of trouble in keeping all this water content in a condition fit and safe for consumption the thing is not settled by any means but this kind of research is suggested as one means of solving the problem of costs and of squeez ing tighter the gap between faarm- ers prices and retail prices in milk butter and cheese perhaps we are looking to it as one means of trans ferring more pay of the takehome variety to their milk and cream checks of a cooling system in the house of commons in

this institution has just sold two young holstein bulls for breeding purposes for export to palestine these calves were shipped this week to vancouver and will be flown by aeroplane from vancouver it is brought to light that there are deeds to show that the property was first vested in the tunker society back in 1s42 the present trustees are messrs george oober levi steckley and ralph baker speaking to mr cober he said there are deeds to show when land was bought as far back as 184 then more land was acquired in 1877 and again in 1885 all the deeds mr cober pointed out are vested in the trustees of the tunker society of markham township now known as the brethren in christ tunker to paestine the house of refuge is created with having some of the best breed ing and producing holsteins in the province and the citizens of the county are proud of sharing in this splendid record emergency i save electricity a critical power shortage now exists in southern ontario savings in the use of electricity will be needed on the part of all citizens in order to avoid serious difficulties during the present winter period and hydro is asking all consumers to conserve electricity wherever possible in order to relieve this situation the daily period during which savings should be effected is between 8 am and 8 pm and conditions are particularly acute between 4 pm and 7 pm v factories and industry are asked to switch from day to night opera tion in whole or in part wherever possible and also to effect all power savings practicable street lighting should be reduced to the lowest level consistent with public safety this is how you can help eliminate the use of electricity for signs billboards and store windows from 8 am to 8 pm eliminate all christmas decorative lighting until saturday december 21st and again after january 1st turn off lights when not required use the minimum number of lights in the livingroom consistent with good vision do not use electric air heaters and grates use electrically heated water sparingly and check leaking hot water taps do not use range elements on high when a lower heat will serve and turn off all elements as soon as possible e cook oven meals as often as possible and avoid the unnecessary use of surface elements turn the radio on only for programs desired if not listening turn it off operate electric toasters and other small appliances only as needed the electric power shortage is a general condition following six years of war and arising from the fact that it was impossible to proceed with the development of sufficient new power sites during the war because of the requirements for war production since the war the critical shortage of men and materials has seriously delayed the development of new sources of power the commission has been reducing loads within its direct control wherever possible these reductions are not enough and it is now necessary to appeal for assistance on the part of all consumers hydro appreciated the splendid voluntary assistance on the part of its consumers during the war and believes that similar cooperation will be forthcoming at this time the hydroelectric power commission of
