THIRD THE LEADER- REGINA, Labor supports proposal Support of Mayor Garnet Menzies' proposal to determine the demand for non-serviced lots in the city was voiced by George Swan, president of the Regina Trades Labor council Thursday. The mayor has said he will recommend city take applications for and a if councils demand is sufficient, he will recommend that council make such lots available.

Mr. Swan said the move appears to be "the only logical answer" to the acute housing shortage now existing in the city. The labor head warned against such applications being asked for immediately saying that the details of such a project should be worked out with a view to offering lots by early spring for development then. Finance Study He also suggested that the city might investigate, on behalf prospective builders, methods financing even such low cost houses. He said he was not suggesting that the city itself to do financing but rather that might study methods by which the prospective builder might borrow money and pass this information along.

Mr. Swan said that any houses built with the idea of eventual modernization should be put up in what he termed "normal housing development areas" rather than in districts where there are now "poorer class homes." He favored definite segregation of such houses and others might be built and kept non-modern indefinitely. He suggested either the southeast section of the city or Dewdney avenue west as two areas where blocks of non-serviced lots might be opened up. W. Turner, president of the Regina Labor council, (C.C.L.), said he felt all members of his council would favor the mayor's suggestion though he personally opposed the building of houses which could never be modernized.

Mr. Turner added he had not been able to give much thought to the problem yet. Are rains Weatherman says maybe The humdrum forecast of "cloudy with some sunny periods" during the past few days was changed Thursday to "sunny with some cloudy periods."

Continuing cold wet weather in the southern part of the province is keeping harvesting at a standstill and grain losses due to sprouting in the swath are increasing as the fields are repeatedly soaked from heavy scattered showers. In Regina, agricultural authorities say that the sprouting problem is aggravated every time it rains and that it will be difficult to estimate the extent of damage, from sprouting until the weather warms up. About 23 percent of the province's. wheat crop and about 29 percent of the coarse grains have been swathed, the provincial agriculture department statistics division reports.

The Cease-fire urged A cease-fire in Korea is an "immediate and urgent necessity," the Regina branch of the Congress of Canadian Women said Thursday in a press release. The release said even the suggestion of peace brings a downswing in prices. PAGE SEPTEMBER 13 MAJ. GEN. WORTHINGTON No in dispute No progress was seen Thursday in negotiations between katchewan anti- Tuberculosis league and sanatoria employees in their disagreement over salary contracts.

Both sides of the case were aired Wednesday in statements M. A. MacPherson, K.C., attorney for the league, and Dr. Morris Shumiatcher, counsel for the employees' union. Points discussed concerned salary raises to offset the increased cost of living.

The league has offered raises of $4 a month for employees livir- in at sanatoriaboard, lodging, and other services -and $10 a month for those living out. The union refuses to accept this offer, stating through Dr. Shumiatcher that the differential weighs heavily in favor of the league and asking that the wage raise be uniform. Neither attorney had any statement to make Thursday evening. Dr Shumiatcher said questioned use of the word "deadlock" application to negotiations.

The lawyers expected to meet for discussion sometime Thursday. over? sunny skies forecasting percentage of swathed wheat in the southern part of the province is somewhat higher than the provincial figure.

Mr. Robinson said he had placed over 400 from his office and was able to meet the demand for laborers in the surrounding area and in Alberta without too much on excursion workers from the east.

His assistant suggested that with found the season so to late, farmers necessary get even though weather was so unsatisfactory.

Drastic reduction in the United States civil defence budget may seriously affect civil defence plans under the "no border" policy, F. F. Worthington, federal civil defence co-ordinator, said Thursday in Regina.

Gen. Worthington said in an interview that the reduction might also "complicate matters for provincial directors in their efforts to co ordinate with neighboring although he believed this could be cleared up. The U.S. house of representatives appropriations committee recently civil defence budget from $335,000,000 to 000,000, Because of organizational advancement differences in the various provinces and adjoining states, the general expressed the feeling that further amplification of his statement would be premature. However, he believed relations between the province of Saskatchewan and the state of Montana had advanced to the point at which an agreement was "imminent" and that mutual areas of civil defence activity had already been put into effect.

The "no border" policy is povided for in the preamble of the civil defence agreement beCanada and the United States. It provides that in an emergency one country will go to the aid of the other as if there were no border. Everybody's Business National co-ordinator visits Regina Canada may feel U.S. civil defence cutback work done by Provincial Civil rector J. O.

3" which caught fire in Leduc field four years ago. Well was down to foot level and nearing completion when it "lost circulation" and went wild. Pressure tossed four 60-foot pipe lengths into the air. The well was brought under control on Sept. 11.

Gen. Worthington said- he was determined to make civil defence "everybody's business." This was because he felt very strongly that civil defence in wartime would be a vital fourth arm of the services without which the country could not survive. The civil defence co ordinator said he had been given fullest support in these views by Health Minister Paul Martin. Mr. Martin had also given him "authority to gear up the national headquarters to a high level of efficiency." "We are in the process of acquiring key men from prviate industry and experienced specialists to head up the various activities needed if civil defence is to stand up in an emergency," he said.

"The federal government is givfull support in my efforts to solve civil defence- problems across the country." Differences Resolved The general said differences in priority and approactionlannine, to be "ironed out" in different parts of the country. He said he was "particularly heartened with the civil defence effort being put forward province of Saskatchewan in the face of the present lack of interest and despite limited means.

Regina milk-shed producers, distributors approve alter alternate-day delivery trial A cut in the number of milk deliveries per week would benefit both producers and distributors, according to a concensus of Regina milk men. Distributors feel that alternateday deliveries will come to Regina if the trial to be conducted in Moose Jaw from Oct.

1 to May 31 is successful. Producers in the Regina milkshed will probably ask for higher milk prices for raw milk it there is a saving due to decreased deliveries. Distributors said the trial was an attempt to eliminate one of the big costs of distribution. -Leader-Post Photo V.O.N.

Moose Jaw city council has adopted a proposal for submission to the two senior governments which makes provision for a form of subsidized rental. The Moose Jaw council favors a fixed rental on houses rather than a variable economic figure. They proposed that they would accept $180 as payment from the federal government in lieu of taxes, which they estimate would average $225.

This would be continued until such time as circumstances permitted sale of the houses. Price of lots in Moose Jaw has been set at $870 with water and sewer services, or $600 without these. Regina's council is on record as being opposed to any form of subsidized rental. Social Welfare Minister J. H.

Sturdy announced recently he was advised by Ottawa that houses built under the three-way scheme may be rented at an economic rental only and cannot be sold immediately.

V.O.N. replaces old-fashioned aid Modern times have brought about the disappearance of the maiden aunt, the family maid and old-fashioned grandma. That's the belief of the Victorian Order of Nurses in explaining the increase in the demand for its services. Nowadays when a young mother comes home from the hospital, bewildered and anxious, in nine cases out of 10, she will reach for her telephone and dial Dick Bird will show jungle film Dick Bird, noted wild life photographer, will show his latest color movie, "Jungle Life in British Guiana," in Reid auditorium, Scott collegiate, Oct. 3 at 8.

the registry of the V.O.N. Her cal will bring a nurse to her home daily until she feels that she has mastered the art of bathing and taking charge of her tiny off- "Although instruction in baby care most frequent request, calls for home care of aged people are also numerous," said Catharine Maddaford, nurse in charge of the Regina Registry. "Care of this type generally means that an aged member of the home can be kept at home with a young couple, instead of going to a nursing home, for often it is only the nursing care that makes their stay unacceptable." Service For All Another reason given for the greater demands for V.O.N. services is that Reginans are realizing more and more that the service is for all. Well-to-do homes as well as poor ones now welcome the Victorian nurse.

Where a fee is financially possible, it is charged, but where it can't be paid service is freely given. "We refuse none," said Miss Maddaford. "And all get the same service. The ability to pay is taken into consideration, but such matters are strictly confidential, between the nurse and the patient." This wouldn't be possible, she said without the contributions from the Community Chest. Chest allotment, which this year is $2,500, helps to carry less fortunate familes.

It makes good health and nursing care possible for every Reginan. V.O.N. nurses are graduate nurses who have taken one years postgraduate work in public health. In Regina they number two full-time and one half-time nurses. Their number is added to when calls become too heavy.

At present a normal day for the Regina nurse is 12 to 14 calls. Knights elect Joseph Dempsey Joseph Dempsey succeeds Jean O'Shaughnessy as grand knight of the local council, Knights of Columbus. He was elected at a meeting Monday night. Mr. O'Shaughnessy, re-elected for a second term at the June elections, has been transferred to Ottawa by the postal authorities, thus necessitating an election.

Mr. Dempsey, who was grand knight for 1948-49, was treasurer of the council and has been succeeded by Vincent Matthews. They feel it may be a way to pay the workers and producers more while still keeping down the cost to the consumer. T. L.

Brooks, Grenfell, president of the Regina Milk Proucers' association, said "we feel if there won't be any appreciable saving the trial is not worthwhile." He said producers in the Moose Jaw milkshed get higher prices for their milk than those the Regina milkshed. Thus producers in the Moose Jaw area wouldn't get as great a benefit from savings resulting from delivery cuts as Regina producers would. "If there. was any saving from delivery cuts, the producer in the Regina milkshed would probably be asking for some or all of it," he said. "We would still be able to get rid of all or the majority of our milk for the greater part of each year even if deliveries and sales were cut.

Milk is in short supply eight of nine months each year." Distributors said milk can be kept sweet for a week under proper conditions and will keep in cold water for several days it the water is changed and kept cool. The alternate-day service was first started in the United States pulsory measure. Since then then war and was a com- very few U.S. cities have increased number of deliveries. The trial in Moose Jaw will be patterned on similar deliveries in Montana where climate conditions are similar, said one distributor.

In many eastern and western cities there are no milk deliveries on Sunday, London, is holding a trial of five-day deliveries- no delivery Sunday or Wednesday. One problem which faces distributors is, if the alternate-day delivery trial proves successful and is instigated in Regina, that delivery men say, their week which would the disunion, demand a shorter, work tributors back where they started.
