My son, Gilbert, enjoys\nBlaying with them and particularly\nkes a boy, Lewis, two yean older.\nLewis monopolizes Gilbert's playthings, especially a tricycle, and\nalio persuade! Gilbert to do his\nwill by saying, 'Gilbert If you don't\ndo u I say, I am going home'.\n\"To get him to itay Gilbert will\ndo anything he wishes. I do not want\nGilbert to be selfish with hii playthings, but I do not want htm to\nhave the Idea that It la fair for one\nto monopolize another's thingi, I\nhave said nothing to him a* yet Ls\nIt good lor Gilbert alwayi to give\nover to another\"! will? What can I\ndo to remedy the iltuatlon when the\nsame child plays here daily?\"\nHere ia how I answered her:\nSUPERVISE PLAY\nSince you muit be away from\nhome a great deal of the time ln\nyour professional work, do not try\nto control the play of these children\nln your absence. When you are at\nhome and can find the time, spend\nlome in supervising their play. Make\nit clear to them that they must take\nturm with the.most cherished tingle\ntoys. Set a clock where they can\nsee It and work out with them\nwhere the hand must be for shifts\nor turns.\nWhen the older child threateni to\ngo home don't while you are there,\nallow Gilbert to attempt to bribe\nhlroe to itay. In cue the older goes,\nread to your child or divert him in\niome other wiy.\nLet the visiting children know\nthat they muit abide by the rules of\nyour playground. Make reuonable\nrules ind If they won't cooperate\nlet them go home. But when they\nabide by the rules compliment them\non their cooperation.\nThe chancei are that your child\nhu more toys than the other children. The more hli exceed in number and excel In quality the bigger\nyour problem will be.\nGENEROSITY AND\nSELFISHNESS\nHundredi ot parenti have similar\nproblemi. There is the child who\ncarries out and distributes among\nhit playmates a whole box of cook-\nlea or buket of fruit These playmates soon learn to prompt the\nyoung distributor to \"hand out\"\neven when he does not at flnt chooie\nto do so. He gels considerable satisfaction from the gesture and with lt\nbuys their favon. They in turn\nmake more demands on him with\nmore threats. An element at work\nalso il Jealousy in those who receive under theie circumstances\nThey, furthermore, are greatly Injured morally, learning to be social\nparasites.\nUnder thete conditloni, the ap\npatently generous child it not gen\neroui at all. He is very selfish. He\nmake! no self-denials except for\nimmediate reward!. If, Instead ot\nhaving all the apples he wanti he\nhas but one, and will share that\nwith hit playmates, doing with but\nlittle of it for hlmaelf, he is truly\ngeneroui; but not when he hu all\nhe wishes for hlmielf md gives\naway the rest Miny are the children who by early triining ln lelfiih\n\"generality\" will give iwiy their\n{-rents' hard-earned fortune later\non ln life.\nSOLVING PARENT\nPROBLEMS\nQ: I have a baby ilx monthi of\nage ind i child three yean old.\nThe older one lometimei wanti me\nto hold her and treat her \"like\nBaby.\"\nA: Grant her request Thereafter\nShow ber more affection ln normal\nwayi,\nHANOVER, Me., (CP) - Gaily,\nwrapped gifts and notes were tied\nto empty milk bottles on mmy doorsteps here one day recently when\nMlsi Ida Bablneau, a dairy em\nployee, made har early morning\nroundi.

Although I'm no beauty I am not\nugly. I'm a college graduate and\nhave a sense of humor. My friendi\ncall me unselfish and amiable. I\ndon't gush when I' meet a likely\nprospect but try to measure him\nand make conversation which 1\nthink will entertain him. Yet he\nusually looks out of the corner of\nhis eye at the nearest bleached\nblond. I have tried desperately\nto follow the rules. Where have I\ngone wrong? SOS.\nAnswer:\nDo you know that the words\npeople choose to convey their Ideas\ngive index to their states of mind?\nYou are \"completely baffled;', \"trying deiperately\" ind you are snarl-\ning at the \"bleached blondes\". Now\nit is entirely possible that your\nanxiety and desperation coupled\nwith your envy of those luckier,\nmay be the root of your trouble. It\nmay be that you're ao eager to land\na man and so distraught over your\nfailure that you can't be natural,\nwhich is the tame thing u laying\nyou can't be attractive.\nThere'i another possible explanation of your predicament: That\ntaken up with the thought of meeting and marrying a suitable man\nyou are habitually forgetting to be\ngracious and agreeable to men, women and children who aren't prospects. Now thli lort of an attitude\n(If you have It) communicate! Itself to all you meet They are repelled by it You sense their disapproval and it makes you sour and\ndour.\nThen there'i alwayi the possibility that the peculiar type ofa man\nwho would be attracted to your\ntype of woman hain't yet come\nalong. Girls who have the magic\ngift mow them down u they come\nup but there are more girls- without the magic gift than with lt at\/1\nthe have-nots frequently bave to\nwait a long time to meet the right\nman.\nThe final possibility is that late\nIntends you fo go through life without him. In thli case you would do\nwell to use your college education\nln deviling wayi and meani of\nleading an interesting, useful existence: Choose a career.\nMrs. Whilfaker to\nHead Kaslo W.I.\nKASLO, B.

We\ndid not want to go to a hospital just\nso we could get the use of the cradle, so the cradle wu brought to\nus. The cost was $1.50 a month. The\nadvantage wu that we did not have\nto go to a hospital, and did not have\nto have breakfast In the cold grey\ndawn et 0:30 and the last meal of\nthe day at 4:30 ln tfae afternoon.\nFurthermore, the meali were not\nlike hospital meals \u2014 all the same\ntemperature, at the hotel the food\nthat was supposed to be hot was\nhot, and the food that wu supposed\nto be cold wu cold.\nThe habit of going to a hospital\nfor every little sickness Is one of\nthe strangest developments of modern times.

British Columbia.\nMEMBER OF THE CANADIAN PRESS AND\nTHE AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS.\nTHURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1941.\nSIROIS PLAN IS NOT DEAD\nIt is unfortunate that the conference on the Sirois\nsport should have blown up at Ottawa yesterday. But this\ncannot mean that We have heard the last of the pressing\n[need for readjustments in Federal and Provincial relations.\nThe report is so basically Sound that its chjef recptnmen-.\ndations must ultimately be put into effect.\nUnder the plan of readjustment of Federal and pro-\nicial relations that the Sirois report proposes the prov-\nnces would relinquish income and corporation taxes and\nf-uccession duties, except that the Dominion would, remit.\n\u00a3to the provinces a portion of the corporation taxes from\n^mining and oil producing pompanies.\nIn return the Dominion would take over. all, unemployment relief and all existing provincial debts, and there\nwould be machinery for coordinating future borrowings.\nThe Dominion would also make grants to enable each\nprovince to provide educational and social services on a\nnational average of quality.\nBritish Columbia's-position would be that it could\nlintain its educational and social services on the present\nand save its taxpayers between $4,000,000 and $5,-\n3,000 annually.\nIn addition to saving ihis large sum the people of\nJritish Columbia would benefit through attracting to this\nrovince concerns whioh now keep out of it because our\nation is heavier than that of other provinces, mpny of\nwhich do not have the double income tax that burdens\nSritish Columbians.\nUnder the Sirois plan British Columbia would'pay the\ngame rate of income tax, corporation tax, and succession\nduties as the residents of other provinces.\nMOBILE HOT BATHS FOR THE AUSSIES\nEven hot baths for the troops are to be placed on\n'heels as part of the mechanization of the Australian\nforces, according to the Australian Press Bureau's clipsheet\nJust received.\nThe first bath unit to be completed is almost ready to\nbe added to the motorized columns, the story says.\nThe unit consists of 20 showers in four sets of five\nlowers each. Each set is supplied with hot water from\nboiler with an oil furnace carried on a motor truck,\nimping equipment is provided and so long as water is\nvailable, relays of 20 men at a time can have hot showers.\nSoldiers will be able to exchange their underclothing\nI for clean sets at the mobile laundry unit which will accompany the bath unit. The unit can move rapidly from one\nsection of a division to another.\nKootenay veterans of the First Great War will remember the primitive showers that were rigged up behind\nthe lines, and the long marches at times to the bathhouse of\nsome French colliery. In the war zone men pretty well\nrustled their own baths.\nDuring the South African War a lot of fun was made\na British general who had his daily bath in a rubber\n.thtub in sight of the Boers. But the British in France\nTiad their mobile bath units in the present war.\nlit is safe to say the field bathtub of the Australians\nwill prove to be a popular institution. The Chief problem\nwill no doubt-be the water supply. Where there is sufficient water, trie field bathtub should take its place with the\nfield kitchen and the water wagon.\nNELSON DAILY NEWS.

I have taken particular notice of the Nelaon Maple\nLeafi' defence lineup. In every\ngame I note four defencemen in the\nlineup, yet I have never seen more\nthan three men on the Nelion defence in action\u2014namely, Bicknell,\nPettigrew and Boothman,\nSo I challenge your reporter's vision.

Everyone knowl all the other\nteams hava four defencemen, and\nmoat of them three forward lines.\nIt would be very unfair to expect\nour boyi to compete against such\nodds,\nWANTI OLD FACES BACK\nI for one would like to see the\nNelson executive do Ita best to get\nBudy Hammond and bis bag of\ntricks (that all the fans love so\nmuch) back on hia former poiltion\nat centre, Nick Smith back on defence, and Johnny Smith and Euerby for iparea on the forward line,\nthus giving our boys a breathing\nspell when hard pressed, especially\nfor home games when it coati nothing for travelling expenses.\nIf something like thia ii not done,\nour boyi wtll be burned out before\nthe playoffi start.\nI am willing to stake a bet on the\nNelaon Maple Leafs' against all\ncomers if they are given the break\nthey deserve through substitutes.\nARDENT HOCKEY FAN.\nNelson, B.

Germany undoubtedly\nwould begin sending troops across\n\u2022the Sicilian Channel, which lies between Sicily and Tunisia to bolster\nMarshal Graziani'i harried forces\nin Libya.\nDespite the potential danger of\niuch an offensive, there was little\nbelief in London the Germans would\nbe successful.\nDealing with the air situation\nwell-informed circles noted that the\nGerman! would be operating from\n\"make-shift\" bases analnst the Royal\nAir Force, which will be flying from\n\"well protected and well equipped\nba\u00abes.\"\n\"Dive bombera have a limited\nrange,\" one source iald. \"Operating\nfrom Sicily they are able to attack\nthe fleet only when it ia within\nrange and will themselvei be open\nto repeated attacks on their air\ndromes. Our air superiority Ii io\nwell established in thoie regions\nthat no influx of German planet\ncan wrest lt from us.\"\nQuestions as to- probability Germany might move some heavy Dornier and Heinkel bombers South to\nattack the army of the Nile and Its\nbases brought the comment: \"Fine,\nlet them.\" \u25a0\nSuch a movement would lift iome\npressure from Britain, and elve a\ngood indication of the extent of the\nGerman preoccupation with the\nproblems facing the other Axil\npartner.\nGerman bases ln Sicily are guarded by German anti-aircraft guns\nand gunners, it is understood here.\nHowever, Nazi troop reinforcement! to North Africa are not expected before \"we give Italy one\nmore good smash,\" a military source\nsaid.\n\"But they can't allow all of North\nAfrica to fall without a fight leaving Italy at our mercy,\" he added.\n\"If the German! do get a couple of\ndivisions through, we will be delighted.\"\nGermans, military circles remarked, have no experience with tbe\nAfrican type of warfare and would\nhave to depend on communications\nmaintained by the Itallani, \"which\ncm be described with charity u\nuncertain.\" -\nGreek Freiqhter\nin Convoy Sunk\nNIW YORK, Jan.

IS-Fol-l\nlowing is the annual report which\nCapt D. M. Rattray, President presented to the Brltith Columbia\nFruit Growers Association, whole\nthree-day convention opened here\nTueiday:\nImmediately following our'lait\nconvention your Executive met to\n.start action designed to Implement\nthe many resolutions which were\nreferred to them. Those resolutions\nrequiring the attention of the Federal Government were taken to\nOttawa by President Loyd when\nhe attended the annual meeting of\nthe Canadian Horticultural CouncU. It li worthy ot note that all of\nthe resolutions emanating from our\nconvention which were placed he-\nfore the Council, received the en-\ndorsation of that body.\nAtting on instructions given at\nour last convention an interim report on action taken on resolutions\nwas published In the July issue of\nCountry Life in B. C. A further\nreport bringing this record up to\ndate, will be placed in your handa\nat the convention. '\nAs such report must of necessity\nbe brief, I deal below ln more detail with some of the more important matters dealt with.\nFEDERAL MARKETING LEGISLATION\u2014Endorsed by the Canadian Horticultural Council and presented to the Government. While\nthe Government haa not as yet introduced any specific legislation to\nthis end, the Orden in Council under the War Measures Act, giving\nthe Nova Scotia Apple Marketing\nBoard and the B. C. Fruit Board\ncontrol of the marketing of all apples produced in the areaa under\ntheir jurisdiction, may be taken as\nan indication that the principle, has\nIn part been accepted.\nRAILWAY RATES\nREDUCED RAILWAY RATES \u2014\nConsiderable discussion on this matter took place between Government\nofficials, representatives of the B. C\nFruit Industry and railway representatives. Certain reductions were\nfinally obtained, but certainly not\nto an extent satisfactory to the delegates. On receiving the decision of\nthe railways, further representations were made, Including a personal interview between Mr. Loyd\nand the President of the Canadian\nNational Railways, also, at the request of your Association, the support ot the Premiers of the four\nWestern Provinces, the Western\nConference end the Canadian Federation- of Agriculture, to our application. Despite these efforti, the\nrailways' refused to alter the decision already given, with the exception that reduced rates to Prairie\npoints were made effective to\nMarch 31, 1941, instead of Nov. 30,\n1940, as at first indicated.\nAt the moment Tree Fruits Ltd.\nhas a thorough presentation of the\ncase before the railway authorities\nawaiting a reply.\nFINANCING, B. C. F. G. A.-Al\nmost of you are already aware, it\nwaa found impracticable to arrange\nfor financing the Association on a\nper box levy as decided by resolutions at our last convention. An arrangement was made with Tree\nFruits Ltd. by which that organization would fmance the Association\nto the extent of $0500. This arrangement was ratified by the Directors at their May meeting, sad\nwe have operated, on the reduced\nbudget since June 1 last\nGASOLINE PRICES-In addition\nto resolutions passed at the annual\nconvention, your Directors instructed the Secretary to take up with the\nProvincial Government and with\nthe Coal and Petroleum Board the\nquestion of the increase of 1 cent\nper gallon in the price of gasoline\nto farmers. This has been the subject of considerable correspondence,\nbut up to the present no definite\ndecision has been given, although\nDr. Carrothers, Chairman, Coal and\nPetroleum Board, has indicated that\nthere is little possibility of the old\nrate being restored. A suggestion\nfrom your Executive that the arrangement previously existing,\nwhereby farmers who provided storage facilities for 150 gallons or\nmore gasoline received a lower rate,\nbe reestablished, is still the subject\nof correspondence with Dr. Carrothers.\nFARMERS' CREDIT ARRANGEMENT ACT\u2014Your Directors also\nuked that all Locals be requested to\nstate their attitude to the suggested\nrestoration of the Farmers' Creditors\nArrangement Act Very few replies\nwere received, tome were opposed\nand the number In favor was not\nsufficient to justify representations\nto the Government on the matter.\nFARMERS AND BANKRUPTCY\nACT\u2014Your Directors elso requested\nthat the position of the farmer under the Bankruptcy Act be made\nclear. Following correspondence\nwith the Attorney General's Department, legal opinion was obtained and circulars embodying the\nopinion were sent to all Locals for\ninformation of the memben.\nLABOR ASSURED\nLABOR SITUATION-Grave concern over the probable ihortage of\norchard and packing house labor\ndue to the enlistments from the area,\nlack of the usual transient labor, and\nthe holding of Militia and \"Trainee\"\ncampi during the harvest period,\nwas exoressed by many of our members. The matter was taken up with\nthe military authorities, with the\nresult that announcement was made\nthat attendance at militia camps was\nnot compulsory.\nArrangement! were also made\nwith the Department of Education\nwhereby, should the situation become to acute, and provided certain\nconditions were observed, Senior\nHigh School students would be excused attendance In order to assist\nin harvesting the crop. In this matter we received full cooperation\nfrom Hon. G. M. Weir, Miniiter of\nEducation, and very helpful assistance from the Minister of Agriculture, Hon. K. C. MacDonald.\nThe problem of farm labor may\nbecome more acute In 1941. The Federal Government has indicated that\nthe needs of agriculture will be\nevaluated.\nLIMITED LICENCES\nGROWER-TRUCKERS-For some\nyean past limited local licences have\nbeen granted to grower-truckers en-\ngaded In hauling limited quantities\nof fruit Thli year iuch licenret\nwere not Issued and grower-truckers were advised that commercial\nlicencei must be obtained. One\ngrower-trucker was charged and\nfined tor hauling fruit without tint\niiiTfa^-ajill-'ili*-\nhaving complied with this regulation.\nFollowing requests trom Locals in\nthe Kelowna area, your Association\nwas instrumental In securing a public hearing by the Public Utilities\nCommission. It also circularized all\nthe Locals in the fruit area on the\nmatter and from the information\nthus obtained a submission was prepared for presentation at the hearing which was held in Kelowna on\nAugust 20 last -\u25a0' ;\u2022'' ,\nThli presentation waa made by\nSecretary C. A. Hayden and the tat-\n-factory outcome of the hearing ll,\nin my opinion, very largely due to\nthe very able manner in which he\npresented the case for the growers.\nBriefly, it wat arranged that limited local licencei would be issued\nto bona fide grower-truckers on\nrecommendation signed by the\nPresident and Secretary of the B.\nC. F. G. A. Local to which the\ngrower -belonged. In. other worda,\nthe Commission put the responsibility in the hands of the B. C. F.\nG. A., Intimating that if this did not\nprove satisfactory, other measures\nWould have to be adopted in 1941,\nFRUIT IMPORTS\nNOT RESTRICTED\nIMPORTS FRUITS AND V-GE-\nTABLES\u2014For several monthi past\nyour Association has been active in\nsupport of the propoial submitted\nby the Canadian Horticultural Council to the Federal Government that\nas a measure of currency conserve'\ntion, imports of fresh frulti and\nvegetables be restricted. Your representatives when In Ottawa in May\nand again .In July 1st, joined With\nthose from other Provinces in Interviews with the Minister of Finance,\nDeputy Minister of. Finance, Exchange Control Board, and other officials urging action on this matter.\nYour Tariff Committee also has\nbeen extremely active with regard\nto this. '\nIt was confidently expected that\nthe suggestions made .to the Government would result in some definite action when numerous tariff\nchanges were introduced ln tie\nHouse of Commons on Dec. 2 last. In\nthe form of The Wir Exchange Conservation Act The omission of fresh\nfruits and vegetables from the provisions of this act was the source\nof considerable disappointment to\nthe industry. Correspondence has\npassed between your Association\nand the Minister ot Finance and It\nIs hoped to place hii reply before\nyou in convention.\nRealizing the difficulties which\nfaced tbe industry, mainly through\nthe loss of export markets owing to\n.war conditions, the Federal Government gave substantial assistance\nby means of advertising, by an\nagreement to purchase certain quantities of applei ihould they be lett\non bur hands at the end of the season, and by an Ordcr-in-Council un\nder the War Measures Act giving\nthe B. C. Fruit Board control of\nall apples grown In the area under their jurisdiction. These measures have permitted the orderly\nmarketing of the apple crop, and\nwill ensure equitable treatment to\nall growers.\nMUST HOLD\nDOWN PE8TS\nOne of the major problem! facing\nour growers at the present time ii\nthat of pest control. Pacific red\nmite hai gained a footing in aome\nareaa, and is the object of intensive\nwork by both Federal and Provincial entomological and horticultural\nstaffs. Even more serious is the\ngreatly increased losi tuffered ln\nmany areaa through codling moth\ninfestation. This pest Involving aa\nit doei costly control sprays, heavy\nculling ot damaged fruit and removal of unsightly spray residue, is\na major factor in increasing coiti of\nproduction. Unless more effective\ncontrol measures are evolved we\nmay find, as other fruit areas have\nfound, that it is impossible to carry\non under thii increasing economic\nloss. In dealing with this problem\nthree main points are involved, all\nare important all Inter-related.\n(1) Spray materials. (2) Spray application, and (3) Residue removal.\n(1) SPRAY MATERIALS-These\nare in the sphere of the entomologist\nand research chemist The development ot more effective sprays at a\nlower coat haa been the subject ot\nintensive research in all apple producing countries. Theil problem is\nnot merely the finding of an effective method of killing of the pest\nLow cost effect on production, easy\nremoval of residue, and many other\nfacton combine to make their problem an extremely complex one.\nProgress has been made, however,\nand our own investigators have\nfound means of reducing costs of\nspray combinations without lots of\nefficiency.\n(2) SPRAY APPLICATION-Thi!\nll in the hand! of the grower him.\nself, and ia perhaps the mott im.\nportant link in the chain of operations. It involvei efficient equipment and thorough coverage. While\ndefinite up-to-the-minute figures are\nnot yet available it can be safely\nstated that a shortage ot efficient\nequipment exist! in practically all\ndistricts.\nThe equipment necessiry to com.\nbat this pest ls expensive and many\ngrowers are unable to make the\ncash outlay which is required to\nbring their equipment up to the\nproper standard. Wayi and meant\not correcting thit situation ihould\nbe the subject of serious consideration.\nAs to proper coverage \u2014 moit\ngrowen are today aware that In the\ncontrol of codling moth, half measures will not pay. The recommendations of the spray committee should\nbe closely adhered to.\n(3) REMOVAL OF RESIDUE -\nThis ls the job ot the packinghouse operator. A survey of the\npresent equipment has been made;\nnewer types of wipers have been\ntested; and recommendations tor increasing efficiency ot the present\nequipment at a reasonable cost have\nbeen promulgated. t\nOur poiltion as producen of a\nhigh quality product will be seriously Impaired. If not lost If we\nhave to resort to washers for removal of ipray residue. The effort!\nof all concerned ihould be directed\nto the prevention of auch a necei.\nslty.\nAPPLES DOWN,\nCITRUS FRUITS UP\nEnquiries are frequently made ai\nto the per capita consumption of applei in Canada.
