"Singing through the nose" is a

known to be able to play a flute
with the nose. The difficulty of

method may readily be imagined.

Socialism Is Major Campaign Issue In Canadian Elections

of the strong organization now ex- isting there. Tn Alberta, Social Credit -still imperative continues firmly in control. Quebec is politi- cally apart from the rest of the country with its half dozen dis ttnctive parties, and while the Ro- man Catholic Church this year gave its adherentS freedom of &C., tion as far as the CCF is concerned, 1t made little headway in summer elections. Similarly it has made little progress in the Maritimes, with the exception of labor-con- scious Nova Scotia.
 WATCH SASKATCHEWAN
 Now the eyes of the nation are fixed on the socialist laboratory which is Saskatchewan, where bantam-sized T. 0. Douglas, 37- year-old Baptist parson, is guid- ing the CCF through its first leg islative program. From the outset he has contended the socialists plan no great appropriation pro- gram, but has warned that "com- mencement of large scale under takings may be discouraged in favor of public or cooperative ownership"
 While his mandate is for five years, Douglas has promised to call an election in 1948. Mean while, his first years program calls for no appropriation and the most socialistic of it's bills are two providing for government owned packing plants and a pro- vincial insurance company. Other key legislation makes collective bargaining and paid vacations compulsory and compels mortga- gees to share crop failure risks. Teachers are to get higher salar- ies and the government ministers have voted themselves a salary cut of 5000 per year.
 When the federal elections come, the CCF will be led by M. J. Cold well, precise, urbane, 56-year-old former school teacher, who says that his party is socialistic fin ex- actly the same manner as the labor parties of the British Common wealth." already in power in New Zealand and Australia and resur- gent in Britain.
 The Conservatives, renamed the Progressive Conservatives, will be led by John Bracken, one time lead CT of protest party and latterly Liberal premier of Manitoba, who swung steadily to the right during his q years in office in the west. Premier King will lead the Liber- als. It will probably be Kings last

 At the conclusion of the war, El- liott said thousands of returning veterans, who already are married or will be, plan to continue their education, but that shortage of housing facilities will be 8 serious problem.
 pr. Elliott proposed his solution in letter to Harold D. Smith, na- ttonal budget director, who formerly served as Michigan Budget Chief.
 The Michigan educator said thou sands of the governments tempo rary dwelling units could be moved onto college campuseS to house "GI JoeS" who want to complete their education and not be Separ- ated longer from their wives. Since most of the housing units already are equipped and have heating and cooking facilities, only sewer, water and light connections need be sup piled, Dr. Elliott said.
 Declaring that between 10000 and 50,000 men will want to return to college in Michigan after the war, Dr. Elliott said: T discovered that many are already married and an- other large group contemplates mar riage at the end of the war. Mich tgan universities and colleges have few or no facilities to accommo- date these new families. Not only are college dormitory facilities not available but there are few small apartments to rent in any of the cities where colleges are located. Unless we take steps to meet this problem it will bar thousands from our colleges and universities, or if we de not actually bar them from the institutions we will force husbands and wives to live in separate communities. feel this is socially undesirable and too, feel that 1t is socially undesirable to force young people who desire a college education to remain un- married until they reach the ages of 30 or 35, as will be the case with many of our returning veterans"

Ottawa, Nov. 6--When Canadian voters go to the polls in federal election which must be held before late spring, the key issue is whether the country VII go socialist. Pren1- Ter Mackenzie Kings Liberal gov- ernment has been in power since the Conservatives were turned out in l935, and the Conservatives, with a liheralized platform and new leadership, are making 9 de- termined bid for power again but, for the first time, the Co-opera- tive Commonwealth Federation of- fers serious challenge to both old line parties.
 Tn 1885, the CCF was a negligi- ble factor. In 1940, when King was returned to power, the CCF won just eight seats. In subsequent by-elections, however, four more seats have gone to the frankly so- cialistic CCF. The senior parties appreciate the threat, and with ammunition provided by heavy inc dustry and finance, which fear ex- propriation under socialism, the big guns have opened full barrage on the challenger, and with due req son.
 CONSERVATIVES MOVE IN
 A year ago, provincial elections were held in Canada,s most de- velopeG province, Ontario. The Liberals were driven from office and the Conservatives moved in. It was not simply a party switch, however. The Conservatives won S7 seats, but in second place came the CCF with 34, Liberals trail ing with 15. The trend was ex- plained by party spokesmen as due to political consciousness whipped up in industrial centerS by high pressure labor organiz. CTS. Such a thing could never happen, they suggested, in a place like Saskatchewan, where the property owning farmer is supreme.
 But, in June, the farmers in the heart of the national grain belt went to the polls after hearing of the danger of confiscation and ex- propriation hanging over them if the CCF were elected. And the farmers ended an almost t1nin- terrupted Libertl sway dating from 1906, to give. the CCF 47 of the legislatures 52 seats.
 Meanwhile, in British Colum- bia, the CCF captured the popular vote, but won only IS seats to the Liberals 20. In Manitoba, where . coalition government has

The epicurean delights of Christ

war-have a strange pagan back

History does not tell clearly
when gastronomics began to be
associated with the day. But ac-
cording to folklore, early in the
Christian era they were baking
strange cakes in Estonia which
resembled cradles and they were
roasting young pigs. The cakes
were rarely eaten but the crumbs
were scattered on the land to pro-
mote fertility.
But the records from the days
of knighthood give abundant proof
of the role which eating-and
drinking-played in the celebration
in England and Europe Christmas
Irevelry lasted for two weeks on a
scale comparable to the Roman
Saturnalia = revelry marked by
feasting and carousing when the
feudal chief held forth.
Chief among Christmas dishes
in the Baronial nall was the boar's
head which was brought into the
vaulted refectory with trumpets,
pomp and panoply. 1t lay in
gold and silver salvar according
to the richness of the feudal lord.
Epicures insisted that it be
served with 'rouguish mustard and
with choice wines.
But culinary ability was put to
no sterner task than in the prep
aration of Argus-roasted peacock
which was supposed to be food
for lovers. This was brought into
the hall with ritual too-accom-
panied by noble lords and ladies.
1t also was something designed
to command attention, for the pea
cock first had been skinned and
the plumage retained intact. After
the bird was cooked it was again
encased in its brilliant feathered
coat with the beak carefully gilded.
