Reason is that an ounce of snuff will last even a confirmed addict a week and costs five to six shill- ings (75 to 90 cents). Smoking may cost four times as much with cig- arettes at three shillings, six pence (52 cents) for 20 and pipe tobacco at three shillings, 10 pence an ounce. At one time the regular snuffers were found mostly in professions where it is difficult to smoke --the stage, music, law, some offices and factories. But now the word is going around and snuff sales are booming. Snuff today is different from the mixtures used by the Beau Brum- mel dandies of snuff's golden age --the 18th century. In those days some of the blends got their headiness from admix- tures of such improbables as port wine, stewed plums and even cheese. Now snuff is just powdered to- bacco with only such things as es- sential oils, attar of rose, lavendar and the like allowed as blenders. Only one type of snuff remains Birthday Greetings Sent to Princess Ottawa, April 21--(CP)--On the | eve of her 25th birthday, Princess | that allows the addict to make a | meal 'of his habit--the "snoose" sucked between the lower lip and the teeth -- a form of snuffing al- most unknown here.

'Strike' By Can Crop Growers Wins Higher Contract Price Farmers who grow corn, peas and tomatoes in this district are highly pleased with the results of their | recent "strike" during which they refused to sign the customary con- tracts with the canneries. Prices granted were higher than those given by a Board of Arbitration. According to officials of the On- tario Vegetable Growers Marketing Board the situation is outlined as follows: After three weeks of province- wide resistance to arbitration prices which virtually tied up contracting for tomatoes, peas and sweet corn, the canners and growers met at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, on Monday, April 9th and reached an agreement on their price dispute. the industry some three weeks ago. Although these prices fall short of asking prices, the vegetbale can- ning crop growers have won an out- standing victory. It has clearly demonstrated with growers can do when organized. It has also shown that growers in this Province are not going to be pushed around any longer by negotiations and arbitra- tion terms which do not take into consideration growers' costs and problems. No Discrimination The first agreement to be reach- ed between the members of the On- tario Vegetable Growers' Market- ing Board and the Canned Foods Association of Ontario was that no member of either party shall dis- criminate or be discriminated against in connection with the mak- ing or re-instatement of . any con- tract for the growing of tomatoes, green peas and sweet corn. This means growers who participated in resistance against arbitrated prices or cancelled their contracts, or re- fused to sign contracts for the same reason, are to be treated by the pro- cessors as though nothing had hap- pened and are to be given a con- tract in preference to new growers. Another agreement reached be- tween the two parties was for the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Mar- keting Board to withdraw all resis- tance to signing of contracts and to support the signing of contracts. The Arbitration Majority for To- matoes, Peas and Corn, established the terms of contract, conditions of sale and minimum prices and can- not be changed under the provisions of the Farm Products Marketing Act. However, the prices establish- ed by Concilitaion Board this week supersede the Arbitration Prices and are effective for 1951 crops.

Acknowledgment The local board, County Officers and Members of the Ontario Vege- | table Growers' Marketing Board wish to extend their sincere thanks to the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture and the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association for their support and close co-operation with the growers in their efforts to obtain adequate prices. All Groups working together brought about solidarity among the growers and ultimate victory. Thanks also goes to G. F. Perkin, Chairman, Farm Products Marketing Board, for the splendid way he conducted the dif- ficult role of intermediary in hold- ing canners and growers together. Peace Congress Commie Agent Sudbury, April 21--(CP)--Exter- nal Affairs Minister Pearson Fri- day night branded the Canadian Peace Congress as "the agent of a foreign, aggressive imperialism, al- though some of its members might not know it." Mr. Pearson said the "cunning demands™ of the Congress that the atomic bomb be outlawed are designed "to sterilize the one great military asset held by the western Union and its friends and satellites have a great superiority in other types of military power." | In an address to the Sudbury | and District Chamber of Com- | merce and Sudbury Kiwanis Club | he said "the only war propaganda now being conducted in Canada is that which appears in Communist journals in support of the aggres- sion being waged .against the Republic of Korea."
