Van THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1951 THE DAILY T) " MES-GAZETTE / PACE FIVE Canadian to Head Meeting On World's Food Problem Mexico City, April 26--(CP)--| Headed by a Canadian, food pro- ducers from 26 countries will meet here May 20 to study a possible world food crisis brought on by the threat of a third world war. Underlying the discussions of this, the third annual conference of the International Federation of Agri- cultura! Trouucers, will be thegide- mocracies' armament build-up,/add- ing new problems in farm labor and equipment scarcities and the impact of price cor.trol on produc- tion sales. H. H. Hannam of Ottawa, presi- dent of . the "400,000-member Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, will guide the LF.AP, through its de- liberations in the marbled Palace of Fine Arts in this capital. Thirty Canadian farm representa- tives are expected to attend, rep- resenting the prairie grain growers, the dairy farmers, the wheat pools, the co-operatives, French-speaking farm groups from Quebec and provincial farm federations. The 26-country group, represent- major world food producers in the non-Communist area, will tackle six main subjects: 1. The continuing drive for a permanent world structure by which increased production could be channelled into markets in an orderly way. 2. The possibility of international price and allocation control which may be needed in the face of scarcities. 3. The delegates', feelings about price controls within their own countries and 'the impactyén produc- tion. 4. The need to develop inter- national movement of farm labor to cope with farm labor shortages. 5. Schemes for stimulating immi< gration, 6. Ways of helping such nations as India get sufficient food. The IF.AP. is a "baby" organiza- tion, born five years ago, to promote friendly discussions of food problems by the democracies, , Purchase of Old Knitter Starts $45,000 Business Kitchener, Ont., April 26--(CP)-- An ancient knitting machine, pick- ed up second-hand while Robert D. Pritchard was serving "with the / R.GAF. in Calgary, has proved a sound investment. From the yard-long hunk of metal have stemmed assets valued at $45, 000 and a nationally-known line of woollen products. It began when Pritchard moved to Galt as a textile technician in the early 40's. There he enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and was married. While in Calgary, the Pritchards discussed the possibility of a post- war future in textiles, and Bob bought an old hand knitter. His wife wanted to help so she took a job at 25 cents an hour to learn the business. At the end of the war they set up shop in Kitchener in part of a garage rented for $5 a month, To- gether they turned out 14 sweaters a week on the old machine. The business prospered and was event- ually moved to larger quarters. Forty-six employees now. turn out over 1,500 sweaters a week and two new Swiss knitting machines worth $10,000 each have been added to the Pritchard plant. To Use Fluorine "(Continued from Page 1) known by the Ontario Department of Heafth which has been taking a keen interest in the experiment there and has been assisting to fi- nance it. The results showed that tooth decay among children has been reduced by over 30 per cent. Last year a party including the M.OH. and several members of the P.U.C. went to Brantford and there had the system explained to them. Members of the delegation were enthusiastic particularly when they began to collect results of similar experiments in progress in the United States. The matter has been considered by city council several times and this week the final seal of approv- al was placed on the project after a long explanatory letter, which is reproduced below, was read. The letter: Initiated Last October Under date of October 6, 1950, a resolution from the PU.C. was forwarded to city council, regarding the introduction of fluorine salts in the city water supply for the prevention of tooth decay, suggest- ing that a committee be appointed to investigate the feasibility of pro- ceeding with the project in Osh- awa. "Since that time all necessary steps have been taken by the Board of Health to facilitate implementa- tion of the plan. The following is a quotation from the Director of Sanitary Engineering, Department of Health, Province of Ontario. "« see no reason now why you should not proceed with this if you wish to do so. The procedure , would be to send us plans and full information on the equipment and the steps will be taken to in- stall the required devices and con- trols.' "A resolution was adopted unani- mously by the Oshawa Dental As- sociation, * "'The dentists of Oshawa, after carefully considering the facts and figures presented to us on Fluorine, do endorse this system of fluorida- tion of the city drinking water as a means of assisting in the control of dental caries in children and furthermore recommend to the responsible civic authorities that ° the steps be taken to en- sure the fluoridation of our water supply as soon as can be conven- iently arranged. "The medical staff of the Oshawa awa General Hospital unanimously passed the following motion. 'The medical staff of the Oshawa General Hospital after considera- tion of reports and studies on the fluoridation of communal water as a means of assisting in the preven- tion of dental caries, approves the procedure and recommends to civ- ic authorities that this project be initiated in Oshawa with the least possible delay.' Favorable Reports Received "Reports from two cities where fluoridation has been in pdogress for five years, have been received recently. In Brantford dental de- cay in school children was reduced by 31. per cent in this period and in Newburgh, New York the reduc- tion of caries was 32:5 per cent. Control cities, where conditions were similar except for drinking water deficient in fluorine, showed no change in the number of decay- ed teeth. Twenty-seven cities in Wisconsin report comparable re- sults from the use of fluorides. "The Board of Health is convinc- ed that no form of disease preven- tion will benefit so many individu- als at a minimum of cost and ef- fort. "With reference to financing the project, the Board of Health is able to assure the council that the cost of equipment, maintenance and materials ¢on be absorbed by the Board and P.UC. from exist ing resources." Measles Cases (Continued from Page 3) Many others were given doses and recall doses. 174 Calls on Infants During the month 174 calls were made on behalf of new-born in- fants (under a month) other in- fants and pre-school children. There were two visitg to adults and 25 on behalf of school children. Maternity visits, pre«natal and post-partum, numbered 69 in all Thirteen calls were made to tuber- cular patients and 15 to patients having acute communicable dis- eases. Other visits came under the heading of "unclassified" and in- cluded demonstrations and visits for cases requiring! special atten- tion. Total attendance at dental clin- ics during the month was 122, 45 new pupils and 35 completions. Many School Visits The School Health Service, oc- cupied a good portion of the time of the public health nurses during March. They made 86 visits to ele- mentary schools and 13 to second- ary schools as well as three to nursery institutions. First aid dressings numbered six and there were many class-room and school inspections. There were 67 health examinations by a physician and 26 by nurses. Vision and hearing tests were given and a number of child- ren kept under observation. Seventeen children were exclud- ed from school for communicable diseases and lice and there were 33 conferences with teachers and school employees with a view to improving health conditions, Eighty-one children were found to have physical defects of one kind or another and in 25 cases these defects were corrected. Forty-eight patients were x-rayed in the chest clinic although no new cases of tuberculosis were found, An inn at Nottingham called "Trip to Jerusalem," built more than 700 years ago, is supposed to be the oldest inn in Britain.

We orate ad infinitum about the three thousand miles of unguarded fron- tier between our two nations. It is paraded to the world as a splendid example of how nations can and should live in peace and harmony. But that does not mean Canada must be subservient to the whims and caprices of United States poli- tics. I agree entirely with the re- cent statement of Hon. L. B. Pear- son that ®anada hopes to co-oper- ate with the United States, but on terms which concede this country's right to be consulted and freedom to make up its own mind. I strong- ly dissent from the view expressed by a member of the Nova Scotia cabinet in Florida a few days ago that Canada and the United States will be politically united in 25 years. We much prefer our conception and application of a democratic govern- ment. Our economic position is bet- ter as an independent nation than it would be merged and engulfed in that of the United States. "We are going to maintain our status as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and we must insist on being treated as equals so far as our sovereign rights are concerned. We have not receiv- ed at the hands of the United States the treatment that an equal is entitled to expect with regard to the St. Lawrence development." Referring to speeches made on the subject by a number of public men, Mr. Conant said these were couched in diplomatic language in keeping with their responsible po- sitions. As he did not labor under any such inhibitions, he intended to express his views frankly and as emphatically as he was capable of doing, Nearest in 1921 Mr. Conant reviewed the long history of the St. Lawrencé devel- opment negotiations between Cana- da and the United States, The pro- ject had been recommended in 1921 by the International Joint Com- mission, but he did not feel that the scheme was any nearer con- summation today than it was at that time. In 1941 agreements had been entered into between Canada and the United States, subject to ratification by the United States, but such ratification was still with- held despite approval by presidents, defence and state department offi- cials, and many other authorities. In 1942, President Roosevelt had announced that it was a post-war project, but with the war now over for six years, still nothing had been done, Navigation Aspect Mr, Conant dealt with the two aspects of the development, naviga- tion and power. The project con- templated a 2,000 mile channel, 27 feet in dept from the Atlantic Ocean to the head of the Great Lakes. If this section of the St. Lawrence were deepened and canals provided for a 27-foot channel, ships could navigate between Port Arthur or Fort William or any port on the Great Lakes to any port in the world without transhipment or breaking cargo. The advantages and economic importance of such means of transportation were mani- fest to all. "At the present time," he said, "there is more traffic through the locks at the Sault than through the Panama, Suez, Kiel, and Manchester canals all put to- gether, which gives some idea of the tonnage likely to use the St. Lawrence Waterway." Source of Power The power development, he said, would make available 2,200,000 H.P, one half of which would belong to Canada. This was probably the lar- gest remaining source of hydro power in the world. Regarding the cost, this was esti- mated at $806,000,000, of which Canada's share would be $336,000,~ 000. Canada, however, had already spent $132,000,000, so that the balance payable by this country would be "The fly in the ointment," said the speaker, "is that part of the stretch of the river where the pres- ent 14-foot channel would be in- creased to 27 feet and 2,000,000 HP. of electricity developed, formed the international boundary, and can- not be proceeded with otherwise than as a joint undertaking, and, of course, with the concurrence of the United States." Speaking briefly on the naviga- tion aspect of the scheme, Mr. Conant sald it was of even greater importance than ever as a cheap means of transport for the vast iron ore resources of Labrador. Power Important "It is the power to be made available by the development that chiefly concerns the people of On- tario," said Mr. Conant, When power developments on the Ottawa River were completed, bringing the H.EP.C. system capacity up to 4,670,000 horsepower, the only available large source of power left was the St.-Lawrence. Unless this were developed--apd it would be required after 195Y -- the Hydro Commission would have to depend on steam generated power, which costs about three times as much as hydro power. "Failure to de- velop the St. Lawrence and develop the 1,100,000 H.P. to which Canada would be entitled is costing and will cost Canada, and particularly Ontario, at least $45,000,000 every year it is delayed." Cause to be Angry "Confronted with this fact, we have good cause to be angry, par- ticularly when the project is held up by the opposition of selfish sectional interests which, apparent- ly, maintain strong lobbies at Washington," Mr. Connant said. "These powerful interests oppose the project, First, there is a group of fitters and owners @ ships of less than twelve foot draft who see in the development of the St. Lawrence a danger to the New York State barge canal. Then there are the American railways running between the Great Lakes and the Port of New York and competing against the New York State canal route. A third group operates a fleet of barges in com- petition with the American rail- ways, and considers then the de- velopment of e St. Lawrence would go a long way towards pute LEGION I5/ CORNER Tonight is the night of the Regu- lar Branch Meetin gand a large representation should be on hand to discuss the important matters that will come up.

LE IR 1 The Red Cross has been active recently and has left cards at the Legion Hall for any membets wish- ing to donate blood for the armed forces when the Mabile Clinic comes through. LO I The Legion Bowling Team com- prised of Bob Skelton, Jim Thomp- son, George Freeman, Alf Brise- bois, Jack McConkey, and Howard Davies, was entered in the Cana- dian Legion Provincial Bowling Play-off held in Niagara Falls on Saturday, April 21st, but was un- able to come home with a prize, The only consolation they had was that Bowmanville, representing Zone F1 along with the Oshawa Team won the Provincial Championship, which is a great honour for Zone FL, * 5 9% TheCanadian Legion Bowling League games have now finished and the banquet will be held on Saturday, May 5th next, at which time all trophies will be presented.

Those enter- ed are urged to get down and play their games as early as possible, thereby enabling the chairman to | get this run promptly. The list is on the Board for the Billiard Tour- nament which will commence as soon as the Snooker Tournament is finished. ob» Friday night, April 27th next, is when the Zone Rally is being held | in the Legion Hall, and the Osh- | awa Branch acting as hosts. It is expected some 200 Legion Members will be here on that night so come along and take part in the discus- sions and enjoy a pleasant evening after the meeting. Entertainment and refréshments will be provided. LE SER 4 There is still room for more names on the list to attend the Zone meeting to be held in the Whitby Legion Hall on Sunday, April 29th next. Hereis another chance to voice your sentiments in Legion affairs. So far there are not sufficient names to warrant char- tering a bus, but there will be cars available to take the members over, A Zone Commander, Deputy Zone Commander, and Zone Sports Officer will be elected at this meet ing. FA While on the matter of Meetings, The District Meeting this year is being held in Madoc on Sunday, May 13th, next. This will be a very interesting meeting and one and all should attend as here, too, Officers will be elected for the next two years. Members will have the opportunity of making this trip by leaving their names with the Business Manager, or with the Stewards. Resolutions will be an- other important factor at this meeting, ting them out of business, even though they are generously sub- sidized by the American govern- ment. "These and other interests repre- sent various enterprises engaged in competition with each other, but in full agreement in banding" to- gether to oppose the St. Lawrence | Waterway project. Travesty of Democracy "The manner in which the pro- ject has been dealt with and de- feated in the United States is, I submit, a travesty of democracy. Under a democratic system of government the greatest good to the greatest n r is supposed to prevail. It iy generally conceded both in Canadp and the United States that the greatest good to the greatest: number would be served by proceeding with the St. Lawrence project, When it is blocked by section and special in- terests, as it has been in the Unit ed States, the very foundations of democracy are impaired." Mr. Conant suggested that the opposition in the United States might mean that the interests there were not anxious for Ontario to develop and obtain cheap power from the St. Lawrence, because present costs of electricity in the United States were about three times those in Ontario. "In my opinion the time for gentle persuasive and diplomatic language is past. We have tried that for 25 years and it has accom- { plished nothing, I think we have | got to do some horse trading with ! Uncle Sam, | "The United States is getting, about 93 per cent of our newsprint, | with the ridiculous result that our own newspapers experience great difficulty in obtaining sufficient for their needs. In the very near future, the United States will un- | doubtedly need more iron ore than! their own domestic sources will | supply. High grade ore from | Labrador deposits will soon be a necessity to meet their require- ments. Most of the nickel used in the United States comes from Canada, and nickel is a strategic metal at the present time. U.S. has already obtained extra- territorial rights in Canada 'with respect to the Alaska highway, air force bases, radar installations and other matters, and will probably seek more concessions in develop- ing their defences. Canada Holds Cards "Canada holds the cards to com- pel a show-down," said Mr. Conant. "It is quite true that Canada needs the United States dollars that these products yield, and that the con- cessions referred to are important for the defence of Canada. But since the United States could con- cur in the St. Lawrence project without any loss or sacrifice, but with benefit for the .vast majority, the present attitude of the United States would not long prevail if Oshawa directory.

Protest Gambling (Continued from Page 3) remind~them of Section 46 of the 1950 Marriage Act, which prescribes a penalty for one who solemnizes the marriage of any person under the influence of intoxicating liquor, and to use that occasion to state that if he is to share in the toasts, they must be drunk in non-alco- holic beverages by all." The concensus of opinion was that this resolution was too drastic in its interference with the desires of those involved in the wedding fes- tivities. A further reference to the liquor traffic was contained in a recom- mendatjon protesting to the Hon. Abbott on account of the t in his 1951 budget no pro- vision (was phade to increase taxes beverages when other ry commodities were the loss of Canada as a source of supply of any of these products were threatened, or if concessions for defence works were withheld. In short, Canada is in an excellent trading position right now, and in my opinion we should make the very best use of the opportunity to bring out the St. Lawrence de- velopment which would mean so nfuch for Canada and particularly for the Province of Ontario." more highly taxed. A report from the Christian Edu- cation Gommittee urged the greater use in boys' work of the Tyro, Trail Ranger and Tuxis programs, that all members of Presbytery co-oper- ate in a Boy's Work Conference to be held at Whitby next weekend, and that a study be made of the possibility of securing a camp site for boy's work. Interest in vacation Bible schools and in summer camps was also urged in this report, which was adopted without discussion. - P Sch Rev. A. M. Irwin, presenting the report of the Pensions Committee, said that under the new scheme of pensions, by which cost of living bonuses were abolished and all pen- sions increased by 25 per cent, those in the higher pension brackets woud gain somewhat, but those in the lower brackets would lose. A request by Rev. R. B. Harrison to be removed from the retired list and restored to the active ministry, on recovery of his health, was ap- proved. Thanks were expressed to Rev. A. M. Irwin for his long years of service to Presbytery, as he has retired as chairman of the Pensions Comunittee. Committee or Colleges and Stu- dents reported an adequate number of young men and women coming forward to study for the ministry, and urged that all means possible afin be adopted to place the call the ministry before the young le of the church. Home Mission Report Rev. George Telford, chairman of the Committee on Home Missions, reported that the Home Mission Board had granted $250 to the Scu- gog Charge, and had approved the purchase of a site for a 'church in Ajax. The problem of providing churches for suburban areas which had grown up around cities like To- ronto and Oshawa, said Mr, Tele ford, was causing great concern, and the General Council of the Church felt this was the concern of the church as a whole. He recommended that there should be a Presbytery Committee in church extension, and that Sunday, May 20, should be set aside for a spe- cial offering in aid of the general Church Extension Fund. After some discussion, in which the needs of Harmony, Westinount and other suburban areas were stressed, and the view expressed that these should have priority over the general fund, the proposal for a Church Exten-~ sion Sunday was defeated, although the rs were in agreement with study being made of ex- tension needs within the Presbye tery. A proposal that the Presbytery executive should plan for visitations to all official boards was approved, Rev. J. K. Moffat, reporting for the Missionary and Maintenance Fund Committee, said that the to- tal received to date was somewhat better than last year. He suggested plans for an official board rally to be held in May, and these were approved.
