They say the Chicago show just doesn't hand out the title of World champion. Chicago calls them "Kings," one official said. "We believe Canada grows the best wheat in the world," he added, "and we thought that if Canadians want to win a world title in wheat they could win it in their own country." He pointed out that Canadians have taken nearly every one of the Chicago "Wheat king" awards over many years, AID FAMILY Quebec, Nov. 20--(CP) -- Philias Vaillancourt, his wife and three children, who moved into city hall's ornate"council room Friday when they were ejected from their Bago Street dwelling, had part of their problems solved for them by Mayor Lucien Borne.

The proposed Atlantic mutual defence pact, outgrowth of a simil- r agreement among Britain, rance and the Benelux countries, being drawn up as a regional al- liance in accordance with provisions of the United Nations Charter. The trans-Atlantic arrangement, ®& blunt answer to Russian aggres- sion in Europe, seems assured. On- ly She blueprint and the timing re- main secret. But with the crisis continuing in Berlin and the Soviet Union giving no indication of a let-up in: its provocative tactics, observers here feel positive that Atlantic-security action is just around the corner. Many predict the meeting at which the pact will be signed will be held n December. ; Washington, Oitawa and Bermu- fa are considered the most likely sites. Diplomatic officials, asking that their identity be withheld, say five more countries--Italy, Norwty, Denmark, Iceland and Portugal -- may be invited. Those details will be worked out at the expected preliminary meet- Ing. Latest indication that the groundwork conference is not far off is the word that the United Btates is seeking to allay the fears of certain Latin-American coun- iries that the Atlantic agreement night boost the chances of them pecoming involved in any war. Government officials said Friday she United States is quietly making it known that the Atlantic pact and the inter-American mutual defence treaty are separate and that there is no plan to link them, The inter-American treaty, ne- gotiated at Rio De Janeiro last year, provides: 1. In the event of an attack by pne American power on another, le remainder will give immediate Alitary aid to the country attack- 2. If there is an attack on a hemisphere country or its posses- sions by an outside power, all the American powers will consult im- mediately to decide what measures to 'take. Considerable attention has been shown here recently to Canada's consistent interest in the North At- lantic security system. One phase-- . Canadian-American defence -- was discussed for 30 minutes Friday by Lovett and Canadian ambassador Hume Wrong. Wrong told reporters after the talk to "draw your own inferences" whether the Atlantic pact Was dis- cussed. He said he and Lovett talk- ed about "our common defence problems." Both the Canadian embassy and the State Department insisted, however, that the conversation was "routine." Housing D.P.s Bit Difficult Ottawa, Nov. 20--(CP)--For the last six months the dominion gov- ernment has been bringing married couples to Canada from European displaced persons camps to work as domestic servants, a Labor De- partment official said Friday. "In most cases" these D.P.s proved satis- factory. Commienting on a Montreal dis- patch that the housing situation might put a crimp in this plan, the . spokesman said placements were made only where housing was pro- vided by the employer, Inasmuch as "it is not as easy to place two people as it is to place one" there has been a certain amount of difficulty.

In support of the appeal of the Kiwanis Club in the Christmas Seal campaign, Miss M. Bourne, Reg. N., superintendent of the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital, has issued the follow- ing statement, giving her views on the need for anti-tuberculosis work: "As was approach the era of hos- pital expansion the ¢ommon pur- poses are prevention of disease and health promotion. Increasing at- tention will be given the part which general hospitals must take in con- trolling T.B. more adequately, not only by routine' T.B. testing and chest X-ray examination of hos- pital personnel but also by giving routine chest X-ray to all patients on admission to hospital. "By far the largest number of hospital patients are admitted for other than chest conditions. It is in this group that the chief danger exists. Unrecognized cases of in- fectious T.B. are a serious menace to the hospital personnel whose duties bring them into close con- tact with these patients and to patients with whom they may be required to share a room. "Your hospital has become a com- munity health centre and routine chest X-ray examination, for all patients on admission, has been made possible by the very generous gift of costly X-ray equipment from the Kiwanis Club to the hos- pital for this purpose. "This is only part of a satisfac- tory control program. The contacts of patients with T.B. must also be examined, not only to locate the possible source of infection but to locate persons who may have be- come infected by the patients. "This work is carried out by a very perservering staff of nurses from the local Department of Health, through a weekly clinic at the hospital. "We express our sincere apprecia- tion to the members of these or- ganizations for their tremendous contribution in the promotion of these activities. It is our hope that every citizen will co-operate in this all-important field." The Kiwanis Club committee has sent out books of Christmas seals to a long list of citizens, and it is hoped that those who receive them will at once return the small amount of $2.00 which is the value of the seals: being sent out, so as to send the campaign off to a good start. Fire Razes Big Hospital At Sardis, BC Sardis, B.C, Nov. 20 -- (CP) -- smouldering ruins were all that re- mained today of the historic $500.000 Coqualeetza Indian Tubercular Hos- pital following a fire that forced 300 persons to evacuate the premises Friday. The blaze, believed to have started in a wing that had new electrical fixtures installed earlier in the day, spread rapidly through the three- storey, brick building after its start at 5:30 p.m, One hundred and eighty patients were among those forced to flee the flames, with at least a dozen babies carried out by nurses in an orderly retreat. No injuries were reported. The homeless were provided with quart- ers in the community hall and a church at this small town of 1,500 persons 70 miles east of Vancouver. Efforts to stem the crackling ad- vance of the flames were made by the fire departments of Chilliwack and Yarrow, aided by Army en- gineers from the Chilliwack military camp. Their work was hampered by lack of water outlets and pressure. Evacuation of patients and per- sonnel was followed by removal of all 'possible equipment. Majority of the beds were saved ,but much operating equipment lost. A nurse and two doctors emerged as heroes of the fire. The nurse, identified only as "Mrs. Norris," discovered the fire and reported to Dr. D. Fatheringham, hospital busi- ness manager. He tried to hold the flames in check with' a hand ex- tinguisher until arrival of fire fight- ers. Meanwhile, Dr. T. Maher, a young Irishman who arrived in Canada three weeks ago, made a complete circuit of the hospital, alerting everybody for the evacuation and seeing to it that all left the build- ing in. time.

Princess Celebrates Wedding Anniversary London, Nov. 20--(CP)--Six days after the birth of their first child, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh are spending a quiet day together at Buckingham Palace ob- serving their first wedding anni- versary. Just a year ago Princess Elizabeth and the Duke stood side by side be- fore the massive candle-lit altar of Westminster Abbey, central figures in a ceremony that was superb yet simple, essentially English in its contrasts and compromises. All around them were Kings, Princes and Prelates, splendid in uniform and cape, while only a few feet away men sat in lounge suits-- a cheerful concession to an age of austerity. Today Princess Elizabeth rests quietly in her room on the second floor of the palace. And Prince Philip, who has ac- cepted only one public engagement since the baby was born--at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters exhibition today--is well content to sped the day at his wife's bedside with occasional visits to the nursery where the young Prince lies sleep- ing. On Sunday Princess Elizabeth's chief physician, Sir William Gil- liatt, may allow her to get up for a few hours. Whatever he does, his course of action is likely to be fol- lowed by many 'doctors in future. Because of the controversy on the length of time a mother should stay in bed after thé birth of a child, doctors and nurses will note with interest the day when Princess Elizabeth is up and about again. Many gynaegologists regard 10 to 14 days as the right period, but in some hospitals now mothers are out of bed within 54 hours of child- birth. Friday night, with a group of the friends that gave him a bachelor send-off a year ago, Prince Philip held a stag party to mark the anni- versary of his wedding eve. Absent, however, were his uncle, Earl Mountbatten, who has rejoined the fleet, and his best man, the Marques of Milford Haven, who is in the United States.
