C. Davis of Prince Albert and formerly a cabinet minister, and recently Canadian ambassador to Nationalist China, has been named head of Canadas mission to the allied high commission in Bonn, Western German capital, it was announced today. 1 No indication was given as to here he will go but it will likely be Belgium. 3. Dr.

Henry Laureys, min ister to Denmark, will come home to retire in September. 4. Dr. P. E.

All of the prime beef they will produce is destined for the eastern or the export market. there were bound to be months when operating deficits and surpluses would result; operations would not follow any set pattern. The daily rates, Mr.

Muirhead added, bear very little, if any, relationship to the facilities and services provided. The patient census at the hospital wras necessarily a fluctuating figure, he concluded, because it was not always physically possible to fill vacancies from the waiting lists as soon as these vacancies occurred. This was particularly the case insofar as isolation and maternity bed vacancies were concerned.

You know I was sick ten years ago when I toured Canada and 1 can remember nothing except going on stage then back to bed. Now Im having a wonderful time, and the trip is planned to give me a day or so between performances.

They will see them again this time, for in answer to a question she said they were always part of her act. I know Im better than I was ten years ago, she said, and Im sure the experience I gained in America has helped. She has appeared in all kinds of halls and theatres on this trip; but she said so far not a football field. It was on the Australian-New Zealand tour that there wasnt an auditorium large enough to hold the audience, so the show took place out in the football park.

MEETINGS Saskatoon Lodge, I.O.O.F., will hold its regular meeting tonight at 8 oclock in the upper hall. The social evening, originally scheduled, has been cancelled because of the deaths of W. J. Magill and W.

H. Morecraft. The 21 L.A.A. Battery, R.C.A., will parade at 7.45 oclock Tuesday evening in uniform. As this is a special parade all ranks have been urged to attend.

Early Saturday morning her body, a bullet-hole in the head, was found in the snow behind a Glcnavon home. The arms were folded over her bosom. R.C.M.l. identified her through baggage left at the railway station. The agent and a passenger could not recall having seen her, but they did notice an unfamiliar automobile waiting at the station.

It left when the train pulled out. Police would disclose nothing about the man held, except that he had been picked up at Kipling, 15 miles east. They said a man had been lurking near a bridge three miles east of Glen-avon near the time of the slaying. They advanced no motive. A small, cheap suitcase was found near tire body, but there was no purse.

It was suggested that MANY RENTAL APPEALS But Few Changes By Board The provincial mediation board reported today that to the end of April 200 applications had been received for possession, 334 from landlords an increase in rent, and 87 from tenants for a decrease. Of these, 187 were considered in April and appropriate orders made; and 462 were carried forward into May. Each application is checked by an appraiser from? the standpoint of both the landlord and the tenant. The board found that little change was justified either upwards or downwards in most cases. Where inequities were determined, they were adjusted to meet relevant circumstances.

Approximately one-third of the total number of applications are from Regina, which is the most congested city in Saskatchewan. The sheriff in the Saskatoon sub-office has supervision over administering rental control in his own judicial district and others in the northern half of the province. that the train might not get through to Winnipeg. TO HORIZON Once in the Red River valley, he said, the train proceeded north through a sea of water, stretching sometimes as far as the eye could see. Innumerable farm homes completely isolated and partially inundated were seen.

The flood waters were right up to the railway right-of-way, he said, but thousands of sandbags kept the tracks clear in most places. Occasionally, though, the flood-w'aters actually covered the tracks to a depty of a few inches. It was touch and go some of the time, Mr. Weir said. In Winnipeg, the civic official saw' hundreds of houses where the' flood waters were up to the first floor windows.

Pumps and hoses lined many of the business streets and the hectic activity and flood-relief work was hard to imagine. TO HELP IN FLOOD NORTH BATTLEFORD, May 8. Inspector R. P. B.

Hanson, officer commanding the North Battleford sub division R.C.M.F. said that eight mounties left North Battleford overnight for Winnipeg to assist in flood duties at that point. Some Government Medical Benefits, Some growing intervention by national governments and their resources is necessary to bring the benefits of medical knowledge to those who need them. This was the opinion expressed here by Sir Henry Dale, famous British medical authority, in an interview this morning. He thought it a fundamental mistake, however, to attempt to make the change suddenly and all at once, as had been the case in Britain, however advantageous to tbe prestige of a particular minister.

lem: It had not occurred to me that the drop in occupancy would be of such concern. Lower rates of occupancy and fewer days of care per case would be very welcome from my point of view. Saskatchewan hospitals, he continued, are operating at extremely high rates of occupancy; much higher than is generally considered fair and reasonable. Some authorities believe that the average occupancy should not exceed 73 per cent in order to ensure a good standard of service. Mr.

Muirhead emphasized that the specialized services offered at S.C.II. were not in excess of demand; quite the contrary. The childrens ward was filled to capacity most of the time and should be enlarged. The matebnity and isolation units offered only minimum facilities and it might be neces sary to enlarge the nursery space adjoining the maternity wards. DEFICIT MONTHS The superintendent also com mented on the patient-day rate payments made by the provincial hospital planning commission.

These daily rates were straight mathematical calculations intended to cover the cost of reasonably efficient operations. Since the rate was fixed, Most highways In the province were reported as fair to good by the Saskatchewan Motor Club here this morning.

Prairie Becomes Sea; Weir Traverses Manitoba Flood There was no slackening in demand for general hospital beds at Saskatoon City despite a relatively low occupancy total for the month. L.

T. Muirhead, general superintendent, stated today. In a detailed report prepared for the hospital board of governors, Mr. Muirhead cited three main causes for the decrease of about 1,000 patient-days occupancy in February compared to the average month: 1. A loss of approximately 600 patient-days because February had only 28 days, compared to the average 30-day month; 2.

Fewer admissions in the isolation unit; 3. Reduction in the days of care per case in the maternity Betatron Cracks, Welder Sent For Cracks in the lower section of the revolving centre pole put the university betatron out of operation Saturday morning. An Allis-Chalmers employee left Milwaukee, for Saskatoon this weekend by air to weld six wedge-shaped sections of the pole back onto the centre bolt. The two-ton top section of the machine will have to be removed before repairs can be made, but the betatron was expected to be back in use Tuesday. i Grade Having Wonderful Time! Over Million Lbs.

This Year The Saskatchewan Fish Marketing Service will probably sell slightly over 1,000,000 pounds of fish for commercial fishermen of the province during 1950, D. Corney, service predicted today at Prince Albert. Bulk of the fish, he said, would come from Wollaston Lake, Beaver Lake and Turtle Lake. Meetings will be held shortly at Pelican Narrows, which includes Pelican, Mironde and Jans Lakes, Deschambault, Meota and Pierceland, to determine whether fishermen on these lakes also wish to deal through the fish marketing service. Mr.

Corney expected a slight increase in production this sum mer over last. The provinces commercial fishermen, he said, are rapidly becoming better equipped and organized, and are working to improve quality of the fish produced for marketing. The commercial fishing season opens May 16, although it is expected that fishing operations on some lakes in the north will not start until June, after the ice breakup. More Expensive Houses Needed A heed for housing in a much higher income level than had been imagined and a need for much more modernization were the result of a housing survey conducted by the housing panel of the Saskatoon Welfare Council. They are expected to be the subjects of discussion by representatives of 21 civic organizations comprising the panei, at a meeting scheduled for 8 oclock Thursday evening.

The panel sent out more than 250 housing questionnaires and 208 of these have been analyzed. The analysis also suggested that the lack of housing accommodation is a considerable obstacle to the proper development of preschool and elementary school children and consequently is detrimentally affecting family life in the city. Recommendations will go from the meeting Thursday to the housing committee of the City Council, it was ascertained. OTHER APPOINTMENTS The external affairs department also announced these appointments affecting missions in western Europe: 1. Dr.

Victor, Dore is leaving his post as ambassador in Belgium to go to Berne with the rank of ambassador and an assignment to represent Canada at various international gatherings. He will remain a member of the executive board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. 2. Maurice A. Pope, elinquishing his German post to Mr.

Davis, will take over a Canadian diplomatic mission elsewhere in western Europe. RELATIVES CONCERNED Wires Flow To Victims Of Floods Numerous weekend telegrams inquiring into the welfare of friends and relatives in Winnipeg have indicated that the flood there is causing widespread concern here. Telegraph offices of both the C.P.R. and C.N.R, reported this morning that the number of wires sent to Winnipeg over the weekend was abnormally large. Extra help had to be called in by the C.N.R.

to handle all the messages. Refugee traffic has not yet assumed great proportions, railroad officials said, as no extra coaches have been added to ttains leaving the flood-ravaged city. T.C.A. officials said four, anxi-ious flew from here to Winnipeg Saturday night to make sure their families would be safe. There has been no outbound traffic by air, however.

Hotels throughout the city had their usual complement of Winnipeg guests over the weekend, but there were few families staying here. A couple who recently moved to Saskatoon from Winnipeg, Mr. and Mrs. J. McKey, had been staying with friends before they left.

Their friends house Avas situated on the dry side of the dike. But as the dike w-as expected to collapse before long, the McKeys had moved just in time, as far as Mrs. McKey was concerned.

However, in view of his experience in the work entailed in organizing the national convention in Saskatoon in 1948, Harry T. Pizzey, secretary-manager of she local branch, doubted if the convention could be held June 18.

He pointed out that June 18 was only a tentative date and the convention might be set back even further in the year. Mr. Pizzey said that only one cf the 10 delegates named by the 'ocal branch would be unable to go if the convention was postponed one month, and his place would be filled by an alternate.
