: THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE ' PAGE ELEVEN SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1948 Laval Voters 'Go To Polls Next Monday Montreal, Dec. 18--(CP)--Voters in Laval-Two Mountains, all set for Monday's federal by-election,' Fri- day night heard the Independent candidate in the two-way fight state that he could defeat his Liberal opponent without the help of the Labor-Progressive party. The riding, which skirts the northern rim of Greater Montreal, has been without representation in the House of Commons since last July when Liguori Lacombe, Inde- pendent, resigned to accept an ap- pointment to the bench. Candidates are Leopold Demers, Liberal, and J. Honore Desy, Auto- nomist-Republican and Republican- For-Peace. e 'Progressive Conservatives entered no candidate for the seat, slated to disappear from electoral lists in the next general election. Wind-up meetings are scheduled by both men at numerous points during the week-end. Tom Dewey Misleading Washington, Dec. 18 -- (AP) -- ! Carrool B. Huntress, chairman of the National St. Lawrence Project Conference, said Friday Governor Thomas E. Dewey gives an "entire- ly misleading" picture of New York] State's electric power supply. Huntress, in a statement, said that Dewey, in a Tuesday press conference at Albany, "created the impression that the state has a power shortage which can be re- lieved by starting construction of the St. Lawrence River power proj- ect at once." Asserting this is "untrue," Hunt- ress said: A "The present inadequacy of the reserve margin of power generating capacity in New York, as in 'the country as a whole, is obviously a passing situation that resulted from the wartime interruption of the construction of additional generat- ing facilities while the consumers' requirements continue to of new generating equipment in New York will amount to as much as the entire capacity' of New York's proposed St. Lawrence de- velopment. By 1951, he said, this will haye been more than doubled by the completion of additional construction. New York's proposal to develop St. Lawrence power in conjunction with Ontario has been shelved by action of the Federal government. The proposal was initiated by Dewey. The conference, a group of busi- ness interests opposed to the $460,- 000,000 plan had this to say in the prepared statement: 'Ontario is having far more dif- fieulty with power supply this win- ter than is New York. - - "While it is. obvious that the war must have been a factor in their present shortage, accusations pro- minent in The Canadian Press lead to the conclusion that a large part of this is inherent in the unrespon- siveness of collectivist control to the needs of the community. "The National St. Lawrence Proj- ect Conference contends that the industry and commerce of New York State, together with the em- ployment and the domestic con- venience of its people, will be better served if its power supply is left on a business basis, rather than be- coming involved in the uncertain- ties of federal or state subsidy and the vagaries of politics." Don Perreault On Trial Feb. 1 Montreal, Dec. 18 -- (CP)--Don- ald Perreault, 28, last of three men to go on trial for murder in the slaying of two policemen during an east-end bank hold-up here last September, will face trial at the next session of the Court of King's Bench which opens Feb. 1. Postponement of the trial was caused by the small number of po- tential jurors left on the present panel. i Douglas Perreault and Noel Clou- tier have both been convicted and sentenced to be hanged for their | part in the daylight slayings.

Mrs. Wallace Mun- d.y gave a brief review of the re- port of the Dominion-wide house planning contest for rural houses. Mrs. Ivison Munday, official dele- gate-to the Area convention, gave a most interesting and helpful re- port on a part of proceedings. Advice to members, for meetings, is, as far as possible, Ute your own | talents, do something practical, | have things usable, always do some- | thing, hear something, see some- thing, be human beings. Our first duty is to be good homemakers, and after that look to the welfare of our own community, which program wil eventually reach far beyond either." Due to the recent annexation of New foundland as Canada's tenth | province, Mrs. Munday included in this report the address at the con- | vention of Mr. L. B. Duff of Well- and, on "The New Lok" which was a review of the history of the oldest colony but now the newest prov- ince.

(CP)--Candi- dates in the federal by-election for Carleton constituency were sched- uled to complete their campaigns today with last-minute appeals for support at the polls Monday. In the three-day contest .are George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, Eugene Forsey, C.C.F. candidate, and J. Nelson McCracken of the Social Credit party.

Mr. McCracken, 37-year-old vet- eran of the Second World War, en- tered the race minutes before nom- inations closed Dec. 6. He has campaigned quietly since, calling for abolition of fear from want and debt slavery through adoption of the complex financial theories of the Social Credit party. The Liberals decided not to op- pose Mr. Drew in the by-election, called after Russell Boucher .decid- ed to resign his seat so his new leader--elected. at~: a- Progressive Conservative national convention Oct. 2--could seek election to the Commons before the next session, expected to start late in January.

One of the chief obstacles. to stability in farm employment is that the majority of Canadian farmers provide accommodation for {only / single men, and if a man wished to marry he had to find a job elsewhere, Dr. MacNamara felt that all plans for placing farm workers should be under the .guidance of Dominion-Provincial Farm Labour Committees, as when other agencies engage in this activity, confusion is likely. J WORLD WOOL PRODUCTION According to the Commonwealth Economic Committee, London, world apparel wool production in 1948-49 is estimated at 2.98 billion pounds (greasy basis), about 2 per cent larger than in the previous season but slightly below pre-war. The present rate of production, however, does not seem to keep pace with world consumption. The International Wool Study Group reported at its recent annual meet- ing in London, that world stocks of wool will be reduced by the end of June, 1949, to 2.75 million pounds (greasy basis) from 3.56 million at the same date in 1948.

An additional 23 of every 100 children revealed signs of probable malnutrition. These are alarming conditions! ¥ As the cost of food continues to soar, will these. figures increase? The situation calls for serious thinking and action= now! - Hearty meals of abundant, bulky foods are no assurance : of a well-nourished body. Proper nutrition calls for the right foods in the right amounts --daily. : If the strain on your table budget forces you to cut down i# on valuable protein food like meat, make sure that the'food "values they would have contributed are obtained by some other means. The daily need for PROTEIN, for example, can be supplied--at lower cost-- of expensive protein foods with milk, combining reduced quantities For a very féw pennies, you build up the protein in a meal by including milk-made dishes. At the same time, you provide other food essentials which milk supplies at relatively low cost. Here's something worth remembering--the words of one of the foremost nutrition experts of our time: "I suggest that you begin ur budget-making by setting aside money for a constant mhlk supply of a quart a day for every child, in the family and at least a pint for every adult. And the less money you have to spe spead for milk." nd, the more, proportionately, you should Remember this, too! Even if you are not forced to cut down on your buying of expensive foods, your children normally require 4 to 5 their servings o certain other foods, keep them Slasses daily: If you ARE forced to cut down drinking milk. It's the cheapest food you can buy--comparative prices reveal the fact that milk has increased less than any other food group! | Pining For | Dinner Dance In Toronto Bury St. Edwards, Suffolk, Eng- land, Dec. 18.--(CP)-- FO.
