In 1908 two French scientists, Calmette and Guerin, made a_ chance discovery | which led to the development of the Bacillus of Calmette-Guerin, now in- ternationally known as BCG. The vaccine was extensively used in cat-! tle and in 1921 was first used on a human, The patient was a new-born infant living in contact with his tu- berculous grandmother. Success was demonstrated so quickly that within three years 300 such infant children in France had been vaccinated and none has died of tuberculosis.

In 1935, Sen. Athanase David, Que- bec Health Minister, visited France, where success with BCG was demon- strated to him. He arranged for the establishment of a clinic in Montreal to vaccinate new-born infants born in tuberculous surroundings. “Since that date everything has worked out as foreseen,” Dr. Guilbeault reported.

One fixed rule regarding BCG vac- cination is that the vaccine must not be given until it is demonstrated that the patient is absolutely free of the disease. Skin tests and x-rays may establish whether the patient is tu- berculin negative or positive.

Nhe: first pre-planned industrial town inaugurated within the province of Manitoba is rapidly becoming a model town, although it is situated far north, some 86 miles north of The Pas, and has not yet been given a name.

Under the act, the town possesses an administrator, R. L. Cochrane, ap- pointed last July by the province. He has all the powers of a municipal council during the opening years of the town’s development. All land in the area, originally Crown property, is sold through him.

MONEY GIFT FOR BRIDE WAS NEVER COLLECTED

POWNAL, Vt.—The first wedding in Pownal Centre Union church's 100-year history will take place—36 years too late for payment of a $10 gift once offered to the first bride to march down its aisle.

A century ago Daniel Dean of Pownal Centre, who furnished some of the lumber for the church, posted a $10 gift for its first bride—but the offer expired when he died in 1911.

He spat and stumped away to watch a tidal bore boiling up the flooded Daly river.

no short cuts to a fortune. There are probably not more than half a dozen professional shooters in the Territory.

This year hides have been worth up to 1/6 and 1/9 an inch, They are

from head to tail, so that a good hide is worth between £1 and 30/. A man is going to live by shooting crocodiles, therefore, wants 500 skins a year to make it worth while.

Experts agree that the big croco- diles found in some of the Northern Territory's rivers and lagoons are more ferocious than any in the world.

I can believe that. Fourteen and 16-footers are regularly pulling horses and cattle into water-holes with them, But the shooters say a crocodile will rarely attack a man in daylight unless it has been wounded or is very hungry.

At night it is a different story, for then the sleepy monster becomes an industrious hunter, up to all kinds of treachery.

Makes App Of War Leaders

Given By Henry Stimson In His Biography, “On Active Service”

(By British United Press)

Henry L. Stimson, formerly United States Secretary of, War, in his biog- raphy, “On Active Service”, makes the following appraisals of leading personalities of World War Il:

Franklin D, Roosevelt — The iate President tried constantly “to keep all the threads in his own hands. One man simply could not do it all, and Franklin Roosevelt killed himself trying”.

“Franklin Roosevelt as a war-time international leader proved himself as good as one man could be—but one man was not enough to keep track of so vast an undertaking.”

“Mr. Roosevelt's policy was so of- ten either unknown or not clear to those who had to execute it, and rose yet, in some cases it seemed self- contradictory.”

The late Theodore Roosevelt“ would have done a better and more clean- cut job of running the war than was actually done (by his cousin Frank- lin.’’)

But because of the ticklish politi- cal problems of World War II, F.D.R. was a good leader. ,“The great flair here shown by Franklin Roosevelt

Be Running Out Of Arable Land

CHICAGO.—The world is running out of arable land to feed its rapidly

‘growing population, Dr. Hugh Ben-

nett, chief of the Department of Ag- riculture Soil Conservation Service,

‘said here.

-It takes 2% acres of tillable land per stomach to furnish each person with a minimum nutritious diet, In the world, Dr. Bennett said, there are only about four billion acres of immediately arable land for a. world population of more than two billion people. The population is increasing at the rate of about 20 million per- sons a year, forcing the land-stomach ration even lower.

The United States is better off than other nations, because it has to- day about 460 million acres of high grade cropland for a population of This gives our nation approximately three acres per stom- ach, The margin over the 2% acre minimym which we have, Dr. Ben- nett asserted, is narrowing as @ re- sult of both increases in population and misuse of good land, particular- ly by erosion,

'PRODUCTION OF SHORN

WOOL SHOWS DECREASE

Canadian shorn wool production in 1947 is estimated by the Dominion bureau of statistics at 10,176,000 pounds as compared with 11,457,000 pounds in 1946. The 1947 clip is the smallest since 1925, and is largely due to the reduced number of sheep on farms. Largest shorn wool pro- duction was 15,128,000 pounds in 1944.
