FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE EC aa i PAGE NINE U.S. Cattle Embargo Form Of Price Control--Gardiner Is Anti-Inflation Move Agriculture Minister Tells Stock Growers Lethbridge, Alta., Jan, 16 (CP)--Cattlemen reacted in mixed fashion today to Agriculture Minister Gardiner's statement last night that the government believed "stabili- zation, security and development in the future is more likely to be ours if our agriculture is tied to our own market plus the United Kingdom for the pres-# ent." Mr. Gardiner 'told the Western Stock Growers' Association htat the embargo on cattle shipments to the United States and the Brit- ish Canadian beef contracts were price-control rather than market- ing measures. In a speech interrupted twice by boos and once by applause, he said the decision not to export to the United States was made because acceptance of American price lev- els would undo "much of the good accomplished through efforts to avoid inflation." The Minister said the govern- ment believed most farmers favor- ed a policy by which they would know prices for several years in advance. The surest way to guar- antee this was to "associate our production and its returns with the freest and most satisfactory market in the world, the British market." Much of 'the beef sold to the United Kingdom was "of a kind for which there never had been and is not now a favorable market in the United States ... Most of the higher-grade beef was and is sold on the Canadian market at prices higher than the contract price." ; He warned that if Canada ac- cepted the high American price level now she later must accept the 'inevitable unreasonably low level," and added that the embargo was placed on cattle exports to the United States in 1942 because price contro! in Canada would be impos- sible if food exports to the United States were permitted. Mr. Gardiner disclosed that New Zealand and Australian butter could be laid down at Vancouver or Halifax at 40 cents a pound, he said. Oleomargarine also would be less than present butter prices. But butter was the backbone of the dairy industry and since the Do- minion could not compete in but- ter nroduction it must be gwen some protection or the whole dary industry would be ruined. Margeson Fund Is Now $20,000 - Toronto, Jan, 16--(CP) -- The widow and five children of Ralph Margeson, 32-year-old taxi driver slain by gunmen last Nov. 11, now have a trust fund of almost $20,- 000, and it is being added to al- most daily. : Leo Hurst, one of the five trus- tees, said yesterday that the fuad, egtablished by the Business Men's Association of Mount Dennis, brings Mrs. Margeson about $90 a month, in additio nto the $66 paid to her by the Ontario Mother's Al- lowance Commission. H. A. Bentley, chairman of the commission, said Mrs. Margeson, who is expecting another child, has received the $66 since Dec. 1, and will receive that sum monthly until her sixth child is 16. ; Public donations to the widow started to pour in to the Business Men's Association a few days after the murder.

Province Cuts Off Grant of $4,0( 0 Toronto, Jan. 16--(CP)--A- grant of $4,000 to the Workers' Educat- ional Association has been cut by the province because the Ontario Adult Education Board did not re commend {ts renewal. Explaining the board's stand, Dr. W. J. Dunlop, chairman, said last night the board had not recommen- ded continuance of the grant be. cause it had no evidence the W.E.A, had the support of organized labor as the medium to provide special education for union members.

Little Greece By DEWITT MACKENZIE AP, Foreign Affairs Analyst It's going to be 10 years now since I sat with an aged Greek amid the ruins of Delphi, looking up the silver slopes of Mount Par- nassus, while he discussed the anci- ent glories of his country -- the "cradle of liberty." We consulted the, oracle, too. However, while the rumblings of the coming Hitlarian ware were be- ginning to be heard in the Balkans, the mystic voice from the cavern of the earth ga?t™ no inkling that within a deggdesfireece would be fighting for her very life against an aggressive Communism which was yet to develop into a world menace. Who, indeed, could forsee then that Red guerrilla forces today would be attagking loyal troops on Mount Parnassus? Who could fore- see that Greece's neighbors -- Al- bania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria -- would be transformed into Bolshe- vist satellites of Moscow? Who would have foreseen then that Bolshevism would have be- come such a menace to free men as was demonstrated two days ago in the Bulgarian parliament when Communist Premier Dimitrov hurl- ed a horrible threat against nine Socialist deputies who had dared to criticize the government's bud- get, Speaking directly to them, he reminded them of the execution of Nikola Petkov, the agrarian leader, who was convicted of plotting against the state and was hanged, despite vigorous protests by the United States and Britain, Said Dimitrov: "From this rostrum, as you re- member, I warned you allies of the Nikola Petkov group 10 times. They did not listen, did not pay atfen- DUSTBANE SWEEPING COMPOUND ABSORBS GERM - LADEN DUST! .../ | NN Seen Centre For Communist Offensive tion to all warnings which - were made. They broke their heads and their leader is under the ground." You don't get the full import of | this terroristic speech unless you | remember that Dimitrov was for | years president of the dread Mos- | cow Comintern, or general staff for world revolution . He speakes the language of bolshevism the world over, Ask Kinsmen Be Members Junior Chamber With a dual objective of train- ing young men for leadership and impressing on them their responsi- bility as Canadian citizens, the Junior Chamber of Commerce can play an important role in the future of the country, Bernard Monaghan, executive-at-large of the newly- formed Oshawa Junior Chamber, told the Kinsmen Club here last night. Mr. Monaghan issued an invita- 'ticn to all Kinsmen to join the Junior Chamber, an organization which holds similar aims te those ofthe Kinsmen. Both are young men's organizations, he empha- sized. was to improve the city in which it exsted. "Beautify Oshawa" would certainly be one of the items on the Chamber's agenda here, he said, Mr. Monaghan was introduced by Past President Herb Robinson and thanked by Phil Holloway, who suggested that beautifying Oshawa would be something of a "moun- tainous task." With Vice-President George Russell in the chair, club members took. the opportunity of "beef § | night" to fire questions at commit- tee chairmen and the club execu- tive concerning program and proj- ects, The club's major project--head- ing a committee of local organiza- | tions to build a civic stadium--was | discussed at some length. Dr. Rex Cox, stadium committee chairman, said that the "groundwork" had been laid but that no extensive re- port was available as yet.

Pett, chief of the Health De- partment's nutrition division, in- sists you can feed a family of five on $16.36 a w ek. He's tried it him- self. : "Of course i works," he said in an interview yesterday. "We tried it out at home and we survived." After a month's trial, he agreed his budget, based on December price levels, made for something approaching austerity, but insisted it was no hardship. Meanwhile, Ottawa housewives reacted by screaming everything from "ridiculous" to "highly im- suggestion meals can be prepared for an average of 15% cents per person a meal. Here's how thg Pett budget worked out in fo*Sl purchases for one week: Milk, 19 qaurts ($3.23); 10 or- anges or five grapefruit, (32 cents); canned tomatocs, 3% 28- ounce cans (73 cents); other fruit, 6% pounds ($1.11); potatoes, 16% pounds (64 cents); green vegetables four pounds (48 cents); other vegetables, 14 pounds ($1.12); grain cereal, 3% pounds (26 cents); bread, 11% 24-ounce loaves ($1.50); refined cereal, 2% pounds (28 cents), Meat, 4% pounds ($1.57); fish, 1% pounds (39 nts); liver, 1% poupds (35 cents); eggs, 13% dozen (68 cents); cheese, one pound (40 cents); dried vegetables, 1% pounds (14 cents); butter, one pound 10 ounces ($1.17); other fats, one pound six ounces (45 cents) ; sugar, one pound 14 ounces (17 cents); other sweets, 1% pounds (29 cents); cod liver oil (23 cents); condiments and extras (60 cents). Actually, there are only four in Dr. Pett's family, and he took four- fifths of $16.36 to set up a budget of $12.08. A typical day's menu in- cluded cracked wheat, sugar and milk, toast and marmalade for breakfast. Lunch was creamed peas on toast, orange custard, cookies and milk. Dinner: Braised liver, baked potatoes, creamed on- ions, blanc mange, tea and milk. His menus lacked coffee, he ad- mitted, but nobody "had drink coffee, Pa Typical housewives' comments: "That's all very well, but I'd still like to have my family speaking tome, ... "My husband is a laborer, work- ing outside. Do you think I could give him cracked wheat, sugar and milk and taost for breakfast and not end up in the divorce court. ? More analytical, another storm- ed: "It's the meat they list that gets me--Sunday, pot roast; Monday, cold beef: Tuesday, liver; Wednes- | day, no meat, just baked beans; Thursday, no meat, just haddock; Friday, hamburger, and Saturday, beef stew. I don't know if it's the same beef they've been eating all week but it looks like it."
