But he left us another question to think about. “We look at social problems in the South,” he said “and we think such in- tolerance is shameful. But we have intolerance in Canada too. Try to put yourself in the shoes of the people of Quebec who feel frus- trated in a country preponderously English." Helping the Unfortunate to Help Themselves With a very effective set of pictures shou- ing the results of hunger and malnutrition in the people of India, especially the children. Mr. J. Hulse of the Maple Leaf Milling Com- pany, Chairman of the Canadian Freedom From Hunger Committee, gave a moving ad- dress on “Helping the Unfortunate to Help Themselves." “By the end of this century the population of the world will be double what it is now. said Mr. Hulse. “Still these people could all be fed if resources were develoPed. With the knowledge we have we could produce the necessary food. The problems are distribution and the prevention of waste. Almost half of the sardine crop was lost until a way was shown to dry the sardines and grind them into a meal which could be preserved for later use.

Mr. Hulse returned to several projects in addition to saving sardines in the form of a dry meal. In South East Asia when a child is weaned he is put on a diet ol" rice: Ihis lacks the protein he needs and a great many of the children die. Mysore provides a food with peaâ€" nut mcul added and the children are saved. Mungos urc nutritions but plentiful for only a short season so many are wasted. Mysore takes the pulp, mixes it with flour. dries it and turns out a product that looks like corn flakes, is nutritious and very palatable. The cashew apple heretofore discarded when the nuts were harvested has been found to produce a syrup rich in vitamin C. Someone has discovered that certain fruits can be preserved for a time by coating them with a wax made from crushed sugar cane . . . So, at Mysore Institute natives are taught to use native products to provide against the hungry seasons and give a more adequate diet the year round. 11
