L) For Britain London--(CP)--Britain's Social- ist government, striving to held the line against inflation, is watching a threatening bulge on the wages front and may act soon. Labor's growing concern about . prices and wages was emphasized af the recent Trades Union Con- gress convention at Margate. Ob- servers think the government, rather than agree to higher pay, will take sbme other action to pro- tect the value of the working man's earnings. The British worker has pledged, through the T.U.C., to use restraint in wage demands. But there is a tendency now to seek increases on the grounds that wages have not kept pace with the rising cost of livine Recently the government awarded an increase of up to 11 shillings ($2.20) weekly to 70,000 mechanics in its employ. A labor ministry court of inquiry later recommended awards of up to 5 shillings weekly to 2,000,000 mechanics in private industry who had asked for 13s. The recommendation caused dis- satisfaction and there was talk of a strike on the Clydebank, some- thing the government wants to avoid at almost any cost. Now 500,000 employees of the na- tionalized British Railways have presented demands on the govern- ment for a flat 12s 6d. weekly wage hike which would cost the treasury £20,000,000 ($80,000,000) more an- nually. This latest demand followed close on the annual convention of the T.U.C. which, for the second time, approved the government's wages. prices-profits stabilization policy announced ast March. Labor ap- proval was given on the under- standing workers would refrain from wage claims except in special cases, providing the government held down prices and profits. But neither the government's white paper, urging stabilization at the levels of last February, nor decisions of the T.U.C., are binding on the workers. It is an unwritten agreement, and those unions which think they have a particularly strong case are not prevented from seeking wage increases. Main argument of increase-seek- ing unions .is that the government has "failed" to hold prices and profits as promised. Time and again delegates mounted the rostrum at Margate to say that present-day living costs in Britain are far be- yond the reach of wages. The ¢on- vention turned down a resolution seeking to withdraw support from the government's stabilization pol- icy. But it gave a thumping major- ity to another (calling for vigorous pursuit of "a policy designed to maintain the purchasing power of wages." This resolution asked the govern- ment to "take more effective action" to control prices, maintain and even extend cost of living subsidies, review the effects of the purchase and other taxes on commodities entering into ordinary domestic use and to impose stricter limitations on profits, Ladino Clover' More Popular Ladino clover, also known as Mammoin Giant or Lodi White clover is a giant form of common white clover. Under favourable conditions its stems, leaves, and flower heads are from two to four times the size of common white clover. It spreads by creeping fleshy stems which root at the nodes and a single plant under favourable conditions may cover an area of three feet in one season. Seed is similar in size and color to other white clovers. The plant is perennial but not as winter hardy as common white clover, In the last few years Ladino has been gaining popularity in pasture and hay pasture mixtures, says H. A. McLennan, Forage Division, Central Experimental Farm; Ot- tawa. It is highly palatable and suitable for all classes of livestock. It starts growty early in spring and under favourable moisture condi- tions gives good yields of highly nutritious forage. For this reason it makes an excellent pasture for dairy cattle. It is also highly rec- ommended for poultry pastures. Ladino does not usually make good hay because its high moisture content makes it difficult to cure. However, it is a valuable legume in hay mixtures, for areas where al- falfa and red clover kill out. Ladino clover grows best on land of good fertility and where there is an abundant supply of moisture. It will survive short periods with- out moisture, but will not survive on land that is wet for long periods. It will grow on slightly acid soil, but calcium is required and it is usually necessary to add it either by application of lime or by phosphate fertilizers that contain calcium. Application of phosphate and pot- ash fertilizer as. top dressing is generally necessary in order to maintain good growth. The recommended rates of seed- ing are as follows: For one to two years of hay followed by pasture, add one-half to two pounds of Ladino seed to the hay-pasture mixture recommended for the area. Alsike may be omitted from the mixtures. For permanent pasture mixtures add one-half to one pound of Ladino with an equal amount of White Dutch Clover. A simple mix- ture of Ladino-Timothy (or other similar grasses) produces good yields. Here the rate of seeding of Ladino is from 2 to 4 pounds per acre.

In years gone by the New Year was a season of altar sacrifices, but now it has become a time of penitence, justice and human responsibility are subjects of special thought and family ties are strengthened and friendships renewed, The feast originally marked the beginning of the agricultural and economic year in Palestine, but gradually developed into judgment day. The occasion begins a ten-day period of penitence, culminating in Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. At this time the merchants and businessmen of the city take the opportunity to extend greetings to their Jewish brothers as they enter another year. May the spirit of Rosh Hashanah not only be felt among the Jewish citizens of Oshawa, but may it extend into the life of the community as a.ghole and the renewal and strenghtening of friendships be evident on every hand. prayer and self-scrutiny. Rosh Hashanah is a time when Divine werd -- 0 0 | « To Our Jewish Patrons of Oshawa and Vicinity We Extend GREETINGS For a Happy New Year REGENT "THE HOUSE OF HITS" Wishing Our Jewish Patrons and Friends A Happy and Prosperous New Year a) Marks Theatre PEOPLES CLOTHING STORE Will Remain Closed Monday and Tuesday Re-opening On Wednesday Morning! - We are happy indeed to extend Best Wishes to all our Jewish friends and customers.
