Net Paid Circulation Average Per lssue 7 : 7 3 4 APRIL, 1947 WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1947 Opportunity For Farmers At the annual meeting of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited in Toronto emphasis was laid upon the unusual opportunity which presents itself to Canadian farmers to increase their stock of sheep in order to take ad- vantage of world conditions. It was held that 'further re- duction in flocks is no longer logical nor sound. Authoritative sources claim that the total world produc- tion in 1946 was about 12 per cent. less than that in 1942. In Australia drought conditions wrought havoc. In the United States the current wool clip is estimated at 300 million pounds as compared with 459 million pounds four years ago. England showed a wartime shrinkage of nine million head to which must be added another million due to the recent floods. In Canada the picture is no more rosy as the 1946 wool clip showed a 15 per cent. decline from the previous year on offerings for commercial sales. With an annual income of $15 to $20 per ewe easily pos- gible and as prices for both wool and market lambs have been highly remunerative together with the fact that auth- oritative sources suggest that these favorable prices will certainly continue during 1947, it would seem logical that farmers should take advantage of the opportunity presenting itself. Unlike other livestock which require grain as feed, sheep eat approximately 90 per cent. roughage such as grass or hay. New Psychiatric Training The government of Saskatchewan will shortly inaugur- ate a scheme in its two mental hospitals for the training of its staff members which it is hoped will have beneficial re- sults in the treatment and care of the province's more than 4,000 mentally ill. Under the plan, practically all hospital employees will be required to take a three-year training course designed to qualify them as psychiatric workers, rather than being at- tendants and nurse-attendants, as in the past. The special training is designed to provide a more effective program and means that hospital staffs will be given professional status and an active part in the treatment program. Premier T. C. Douglas also announces that an effort . will be made to engage young men and women with at least Grade XI education, while other qualifications of personality, good health, general ability and insight will be weighed by the Public Service Commission in considering applicants. The innovation will be watched with interest by psychi- atrists in other provinces, the United States and elsewhere. The employees will have more responsibility under the new program and will be required to make a definite contribution to efforts to improve the health of patients. Publicity given to mental hospitals in the United States has stressed the fact that patients have been allowed to languish in these institu- tions with little if any care or treatment. The action being taken by the Saskatchewan Government will be welcomed by friends and relatives of those who are patients as they will know an effort is being made to return them to health, The Human Element "The average accident occurred in daylight on a good road with the vehicle in apparently good driving condition, driven by a driver with five or more years' experience and in the age group, 25 to 40 years. This points to the importance of safety education directed to drivers and pedestrians", comments a report from the Vehicles Branch of the Ontario Department of Highways. In 1946 there were 888 traffic deaths on Ontario High- ways--a larger number than for any other year since 1941 when fatalities totalled 801. The year's total of accidents re- ported was 17,356---only slightly lower than the 1941 total of 18,167. Property damage at $3,345,384 was at a new high. It is most timely that attention should be focussed upon the need for safe driving practices and care of pedestrians at this season when traffic on our highways is again returning to summer peaks. It would be well to always anticipate what the other fellow will do rather than taking full advantage of individual rights. If we place ourselves in the position of be- ing able to meet any eventuality no matter how unexpected the traffic toll will be reduced materially.

ATLANTIC city Pennsylvania Avenue Overlooking Ocean THE HOTEL OF MANY HAPPY RETURNS "He's Forgotten the Rest of the Act" mn --Alexander in The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin ® Readers' Views ® 25 Years Ago SUCH IS COMMUNISM? Editor, Times-Gazette. Dear Sir: From time to time disorders will show in the best of organizations because and if for no other reason than the general lack of collective reasoning, Collective reasoning is just as it spells and sometimes those with most access to it use it the least. Any attempt at times in indus- trial areas of Canada for a showing of communist spirit has been short- lived. Why shouldn't it be? Any and every organized man is soon shocked into activity and gets out of the rut he is so poorly misdirect- ed into. Recent labour reaction has shown and will continue to show that if Communists hope to sur- vive it the cost of exploiting labour then it is due to disappointment. Our trade union has again proven its carcabilities even before the an- nual ballot boxes are cool. When Socialism steps up to first place, as it will, we can realize a real freedom that will be perman- ently appreciated by all. Labour, whether party, union or municipal, ds devoted to internationalism, but, it is not for that subservience that it was founded! Socialists value their executive committees and sneer at them--never. Liken Labour to the Trojan Horse at Troy. Communists may line up and march into the horse but when their true color shows they will be promptly marched right out again. The victory shall be Labour's alone. The ranks can easily be filled with honest, friendly workers at any time necessity demands it. If history tells what it should then surely true leaders of the peo- ple--not unlike Roosevelt--can lead the people out of the -entangle- ments of feudalism, fescism, capi- talism and communism to a real Democratic Socialist stabi ity, "WALTER E.
