Other strikes had throttled other supply arteries. There was little salt, window glass, and no milk bottles. The output of soap, rayon, pulp and chemicals was down to a trickle. Without counting steel, the loss to production was staggering. In the first seven months of 1946, strikes cost Canada 2,544.581 man-days (v. 128,208 in the same period of 1945).

...doctors' most notable progress, points out Author Berg, has been in treating paralyzed patients, thanks to Sister Kenny's physical therapy.

But revived hopes for a genuinely effective price control bill have faded once again in the face of amendments to the new bill to exempt oil, cotton, and pulp products from control, the Taft proposal for manufacturer's profits and the delaying tactics of Senators Wherry and O'Daniel. Thus the bitter paradox continues by which the majority of people, who ardently desire the retention of price controls are defied by their elected representatives...
