Left Hand Corner item on insulin study ad hoc note
The piece reports a joint AMA note by Crrl M. MacBride and Harold K. Rogers about a clinical study of sixty two diabetic patients using a three to one mix of fast acting insulin and protamine zinc insulin to better regulate blood sugar. It explains that mixed insulin allows better control than either insulin alone and notes protamine zinc insulin’s slower release and timing with meals. It also mentions a Virginia ham gifted to Churchill during wartime diplomacy and references London calls.

Storm Over Air Policy Marks Ottawa Commons Hearing
Ottawa April 21. The federal postwar civil aviation policy faced tough questions in the commons from opposition benches but may be returned for further debate as government bills top the order. Munitions Minister Howe said private airlines absorbed by Canadian Pacific Air Lines would be separated after the war. The plan aligns with empire air conference conclusions from London last October. An air transport board bill, akin to the US Civil Aeronautics Board, will be introduced this session. No business loss is anticipated as lines will be divorced from railways one year after the war. Separate enterprise will be reestablished with equipment valued on CPA books. The international air transport authority proposal remains central to the policy.
