He especially thanked the Speedway Musicale for their gift. lodine Deficiency Fatal When litters of pigs are born dead or when some pigs in a litter are hairless or shew immature hoof development, the possibility of iodine deficiency should not be overlooked. lodine-deficient areas are known to exist in the Great Lakes region, especially in such neighboring states /to Wisconsin and Michigan. On Illinois farms where pigs have suffered from an iodine deficient-like disease, the losses occurred in the winter and spring months. lodine .deficiency in newly born pigs may be prevented largely by feeding small amounts of potassium iodide to sows in the feed or drinking water during the last two months of pregnancy.

CANADIANS GET CHEAP (?) POWEB Our neighbor to the north has begun to realize that public, ownership I does not perform for the people the high things which its proponents promise. It might be well for we Americans to follow Al Smith’s injunction “to look at the record” of Canada’s experience in the power business.

Canada has gone in for rather extensively public owned development of its utilities, and the inevitable is happening. Many Canadians who formerly were most enthusiastic about putting government into the utility business, have lost considerable of their ardor for public ownership, in fact, some of them are row complaining bitterly about it. The Land of the Maple Leaf, it would seem/ also has its quota of crack-pots-its share of wild-eyed theorists who pop up with imprac-

tical schemes to remake society over night. One of these schemes suggested in recent months in Canada was to take the manufacturing of bread out of private hands and have the Canadian Government turn baker. The Toronto “Telegram” made the following apt comment regarding this: “Public ownership of bread manufacture would mean regimentation'in the kind of bread the consumer would receive. He might get brown bread and white bread, but the average consumer

who prefers one manufacturer’s bread to another and sometimes likes to switch his baker for a change of bread, would have to get used to eating the type of bread he was supplied with, just as Toronto householdeis have to put up with the jumpy 25-cycle horse power instead of the steady glow of 60-cycle, because public ownership supplies only 25-cycle to that city.” Anyone who has visited Toronto or any other Ontario cities served by this government owned power, will distinctly recall just how annoying that 25-cycle power really is. Further, eye specialists and lighting experts have advised this columnist that the jumpy electric current sold by this government monopoly, is very injurious to the eyes. It is safe to assume that were this inferior power purveyed by privately owned companies, the Ontario public would force those companies to change over to the steadier arid non-injurious 60-cycle power. But the die-hards among the proponents of public ownership in Canada (probably blinded by the flickering light,) will glibly point to the low rate carged for this power as compared with rates charged by private companies before government took them over or ran them out of business. They neglect, however, to advise that it has ever been the policy of privately owned utility companies in Canada, as has been the case in this country, constantly to lower their rates, giving the consumer cheaper and cleaner power. Another important detail they neglect to divulge (we suspect de-

liberately,) is that publicly owned utilities do not compete on a fair basis with the privately owned companies. Tax exemptions give the publicly owned a tremendous advantage over the privately owned utilities. Statistics issued by the Canadian Bureau of Statistics are positive proof of the aforegoing statement Here they are:

“Privately, owned utilities pay almost 15 times as much in taxes as publicly owned utilities pay. The gross revenues as Canadian privately owned utilities in 1941, the last year for which complete returns are available, amounted to 111 million dollars, and their tax payments totaled $22,900,000 slightly more than 20 per cent of their gross revenue. In the same year, the revenues of the publicly owned utilities were 74 million dollars and their tax payments slightly more than 1 million dollars—less than 1% per cent.”

The one conclusion to be arrived at from the testimony of the Toronto “Telegram” and the revealing figures of te Canadian Bureau of Statistics is that the only thing really cheap about te juice being dispensed by the government in Toronto and vicinity, is te quality of tat electric current. Unfortunately, this Canadian situation is not exceptional—it is what happens in every case where government interferes with, competes with or displaces private enterprise.

INDUSTRY BOOSTS SOLDIER MORALE A number of things have contributed to a higher morale among the men and women of our armed forces during World War II than was the case during World War L The American public and the military authorities have given infinitely more attention to providing recreation and entertainment for the “boys” at home and abroad during their leisure time. This not only has boosted the morale of the men, but it has had a beneficial effect on their morals, inasmuch-as it has kept them out of a lot of mischief by furnishing them clean fun and amusement. Newspapers and radio commentators have exhorted the families of our fighting men and women not only to write them but to make i those letters cheerful. The civilian public ha&respeonded nobly and the public has responded nobly and the 1 net result is that wherever our gallant defenders may be, they have been given a feeling of closeness to home, their confidence has been strengthened and their determination redoubled. The small town weekly newspapers have played no small part in keeping up the morale of our fighting forces. Many of these publishers are sending their newspapers free, many others at greatly reduced rates, to the home-town boys in service. The weekly newspaper as nothing else. can, keeps the aough-boy informed about what is going on in the community from which he set forth to serve his country. We hear of many other things that have that have been and are being done to make the lot of the soldier as comfortable and happy as is possible for one torn up by the roots from peaceful pursuits to shoulder a gun in defense of his country. Little, however, has been written or said about what American industry is doing to assure our fighting men that they fight not in vain, and that the things for which they are risking their lives, will be a reality back home here in America when their war job is done. I The fact of the matter is that inI' dustry has not shirked its responsibilities. Space does not permit our writing here of the service many industries have rendered. As an example, however, of what can be deme by a concern to let its employees in the service know that they not only have something to fight for, but something to come back to, we would draw your attention to the Curtiss Candy Company of Chicago. Otto Schnering, founder and president of this company, has not been content merely with assuring the 800 employees of this firm now in the Armed j

This thoughtful and patriotic corporation executive also writes personal letters to them and sends them boxes of candy. News of the company’s activities and activities of their fellow workers who are now in the service goes to them in the form of a monthly news letter, and the firm’s 4500 employees at home have formed “7 for 7” clubs which divide employees into groups of seven and provide that each member of thesi groups write regularly to seven fellow employees now on the fighting front. ' i The Curtis Company’s efforts to build the moral e of our armed fortes also extend outside the ranks of its employees. It sponsors a camp show that is taking a quiz program to cantonments and service centers throughout the Middle West for the entertainment of members of all branches of the service. A radio program brings greetings from service men and wome nto the families of service men and women at home. As each member of our fighting forces embarks for foreign service, he or she receives a candy bar bearing a good-luck message, and the company makes heavy contributions of its food products for use in service centers in cities where it has warehouses. This is the story of but one company. Army officers say that such contributions on the part of Curtiss and other industries make good soldiers beeter fighters because they and to come back as quickly as fight that much harder to preserve nossible to the things they left behind and that they know definitely from these assurances from those at home, are awaiting their return.
