publishers notes and comments weight safe just who invented the fallacy that potatoes are unduly fattening is a question about two years ago the bureau of home economics at washington dc was asked for a scientific opinion the reply was that a mediumsize potato totals 100 calories but so does the following one large apple one large orange one mediumsize soda biscuit or one and onehalf tablespoons of french salad dressing the simple facts of the matter are that it is the sum total of all the foods eaten by an individual that wrecks the waist line any time a person takes more calories into his system than his particular body needs they are stored up as fat the average person requiries about 3000 calories daily to obtain this many calories from one food it would be necessary to consume about 10 pounds of potatoes or five pounds of eggs or 43 slices of bread or more than four quarts of milk any of these diets are of course ridiculous according to a statement in the ontario crop improvement book just to hand too late there aire many photos in existence of notable events and personages of the past but with the passage of time they are lost or their connection obscured one of the paramount needs is for the forming of a central organization to each community and the setting up of a centre where these memorabilia could be placed on dis play we understand that locally a movement is under way to secure the henry house at lakeview park for this pur pose it is to be hoped that public support will be accorded this idea or perhaps an acceptable alternative would be a historical room in the new public library building good cheap cars people of ordinary means who had hopes of buying a new automobile after the war are disappointed while the new models are a pride and joy to own they sell at a figure thtit the average citizen cannot afford to pay everybody does not want a big car with bulklozer proportions across the front the windsor star voices the socalled little fellows thoughts to a t when it says we wonder if some of the stylists of the automotive industry have not grown a trifle away from the common people instead of fixing the new cars with a lot of shining metal and fancy gadgets would it not be better to offer the people with a high quality car at cheap price we appreciate the automotive men know their business yet we believe that most workmen would like to buy a good car that will give them satisfactory transportation and economical operation there was a lot of keeping up with the joneses in the automobile business and there still is some of that but so many persons have been priced right out of the market as car costs grew higher and higher now instead of wonder ing whether to buy a car with this gadget or a car with that nifty most people are hoping they will be able to buy a good car that will go fancy styles are all very well and they do attract the eye but the motoring eye is getting jaundiced as price tags stay in the stratosphere if a company produced a good car that could sell for around 1000 and would give economy in gasoline and oil and would always get there many people would be right back in the market for a new car daylight time is bunk as a people canadians like to kid themselves with their eyes wide open this daylight saving time that is about to muddle things up again for another summer is just a fair example we are about to say that it is nine oclock in the morning when eastern standard time says it is eight oclock everybody knows it is not nine oclock of course but that doesnt matter we have a motive the sole purpose of interfering with the clocks of course is to give the factory worker an extra hour of day light in the evening everybody has to be muddled up just to achieve this end although it is a good thing to allow people housed inside all day to get out however isnt there a simpler way to deal with the matter why cannot factory workers and others who wish that extra hour in the evening get going an hour earlier in the morning without the aid of the clock hands if the stores opened at eight instead of nine and the factory whistle blew at six instead of seven if business was at an end in the towns and villages at five instead of six oclock the hour for the worker would be saved to them and father time could keep his face honest and unruffled t comic strips denounced mrs beatrice trew ccf member of the saskatche wan legislature for the ranchcountry constituency of maple creek says that comic strips tend to encourage a vulgar vocabularly in most children mrs trew a 49yearold grandmother and only woman member of the legislature told the regina council of women that a steady diet of comics leads to literary mal nutrition comics were good only if they were really humorous when they deviated from humour they should not be labelled comics even the slapstick type of humor is better than this sly innuendo so often seen in the comic strips of today she said the native of coates mills nb and farmers wife said she was inclined to favor cowboy comic strips there is always a strong moral in these and anyway you cant stop little boys playing and reading about cowboys and indians mrs trew advocated a strict censorship of this type of literature another countermeasure would be more good magazines at prices low enough for the child buyer facts on old farms according to the oshawa times the ontario historical society has undertaken the task of compiling lists of all farms in ontario that have been occupied for 100 years by the person who procured the crown deed and his descend ants this survey will provide much interesting data which will have increasing historical value in years to come such an endeavor is most commendable unfortunately much of the early history of the rural sections of the province has been lost some information about past years and residents has been preserved in books but they are few in number contacts with the past are rapidly diminishing as older residents pass on without recording that informa tion which they stored up in memory it would be well as suggested by gdcouant kc several years ago for each township to compile a history of its own and delegate someone to do this work before it is the rumored income tax changes the daily star the canadian press claims to have learned that the immediate income tax change to be announced in the budget will take the form of a 10 per cent cut applicable to all brackets as the 16 per cent was in 1946 and that the basic exemptions may be boosted from 750 to 81000 for single persons and from si 500 to 1750 for married per sons with the possibility that the changes in exemptions may not be effective until after january 1 a flat percentage cut in income tax gives high incomes very substantial relief and small incomes very little that method was wrong when adopted before and will be equally wrong if adopted now furthermore the postponement to january 1 of the exemption changes which would eliminate taxation on many small incomes altogether in the face of an immediate substantial benefit to people of large income through an immediate 10 per cent- reduction right across the boards would add bad timing to a bad principle it is suggested that the excess profits tax is to be dropped that course is only excusable if a new tax on excessive profits is to be substituted with economists in the united states britain and canada all warning against the results which high profits and high prices tend to produce this is no time for opening the throttle to give excessive profits full steam ahead our capital correspondent written exclusively for the stouff ville tribune by mlschwartz while the legislators are involved in deep heavy tasks in this session strange stories are being whispered in the ears of observers along parliament hill about this or that minister of the king government retiring and of a general snap election being in the making with the latter story being the most talk ed about and being based on the belief that the king governments position is insecure on account of the extremely small majority in the house of commons however inquiries in usually wellinformed quarters on parlia ment hill indicate that these strange stories are nothing more than idle rumors so that their repetition in detail is not warrant ed in regard to the snap election rumor it should be reported that though the majority is not large yet recorded divisions this session have jumped from the lowest mark of 13 to the highest of 10s empha sizing thai the governments posi tion is not insecure or unstable and there is gross exaggeration even in heavily subsidized i say that if there is any article of commerce in canada which is not taxed it is bread said mr abbott on the contrary the main content of bread wheat flour is probably the most heavily sub sidized of any commodity at the present time there is no question that public opinion across canada is divided today whether decontrol should be speeded up or slowed down it may possibly be that we are decontrolling too rapidly admitt ed rt hon j l ilsley now minis ter of justice but who as minister of finance during the war had much to do with the whole price control machine with the minister explaining that some charged the government now with decontroll ing too slowly and others decon trolling too rapidly we are in a difficult position he said of course we cannot suit opposition parties then he added significantly we are taking a middle course housing is still a serious prob- rights of owners should be restored as quickly as possible there is however a most extraordinary situation in the housing field and at this time the most economical use of our short supply of housing must be weighed against the rights of the individual owner this spokesman emphasized it is understood in ottawa that canada has practically suspended purchase of united states cotton textiles which call for a subsidy importers who wish to get a sub sidy to bring such items into this country in line with canadian prices must get prior approval of purchases and these prior approvals are temporarily discon tinued because it is believed the import subsidy policy is under re view wellinformed sources report purchases already placed are ade- quate to meet demands and fabric prices in the united states have risen over past several months so that the subsidy bill as well as the whole subsidy situation is being restudied economy at mcmaster university and he has served in various posts
