unfortunately sue- cumbs to the busy days of war butthe slogan remains as true as ever ratepayers should never hestiate to recom mend to their governing heads any improvements they feel- should be considered ft home town news over on a newspaper where we used to work in a canadian townthey are thinking about jim he was doing verywell on that paperup to 1941 but jim is deadnow hv italy they separate the items on that paper into local news and district news then there is general news the local and district news crowds out almost everything else how ever the subscribers want items from close around which none of the papers competitors in ink or air can get down fine enough to handle after the wire about jim came in the editor wrote a piece discussing with his subscribers just what local news really was he pointed out that italy had become local news because jim had been killed there then he went on to say if we and people in other towns and countries had under stood years before the war that what was going on in italy and germany and japan was really local news intimately related to us then there might not have been a war at all- the editor said that even when this war finally got finished we would need to keep our understanding that things happening a long way off might be local news with a definite bearing on the lives of the townspeople for another war could come unless we reached out and stopped it he said that if anyone in the town and district should forget through the years to come that europe for instance was local news he need only remember that jim had been killed in the spring of 1945 fighting for his home town jt i farm machinery repair parts freed the import and manufacture of repair parts for farm machinery will be freed from all restrictions

delightful spring weather with wonderful nights when the thrill of the toad and the more metallic tsouhd of the swamp frog were borne over the low places and around the ponds in our neighborhood we sat in our car one night and listened to the- haunting music of these frogs with a lovely moon overhead we speculated on just i when or where did the frog come from and how long had he been in existence turning to the royal ontario museum for information we learned that the frog and salamanders if s are a very old race thisform of life flourished 200 million jv jyears ago in the countries now overrunby warring armies i close to the little frog and contemporaneous with it were t- eiant amphibians the triangular heads of which reached from two to four feet in length v 3 a fcv vyv 700

stouffville lf r melville united -church- markham township gen jenni ial jcelebration rjunel 7th 25th n ls v your capital crrespondeht written- expressly for the stouffville tribune by dean wilson y lii there have been rumours across this country that canada would soon adopt- her own national anthem and a flag however there has been nothing official in the capital to disclose any such inten tions immediately with the belief that such matters wculd be decided by parliament itself only publishers and editors have made a great effort in recent years to provide their readers with all pos- sibleinformation and other services in face of unusually hard conditions interfering with their operations due to the scarcity of newsprint but now a ray of light is appearing on the horizon because it is report ed in ottawa that wood supplies will allow an overall increase of five to six per cent in the production of canadian pulp and paper mills starting in the third quarter of 1945 the third quarter allocation of newsprint for the united states will be at the rate of 21500 tons per month of 32pound paper or a total of 645000 tons moreover the can adian consumption will be in creased in a similar manner in other words though no major im provement can be expected immedi ately yet this best medium for ex pression will be greatly aided in the latter part of this- year due to the slightly better cut in canada this past year plus the possible early reopening of scandinavian ship ments a topranking expert has stated in ottawa that whatever party will be in power in canadas capital after june 11 may be obliged to bring about changes or amend ments to the famous baby bonus law or family allowance measure in order to create a balanced plan of welfare for the canadian people since it may be imoossible to hold the line of prices and war supply priorities allowing at the same time the letting loose of ten to twenty million dollars a month in cheques all across the country after july 1 in a desperate effort to use all possible facilities in this country to build and to do it quickly the federal government has appointed a dynamic young man named william m anderson fortytwo years of age and a wellknown in surance executive as director general of trie national housing administration wherein there is involved the administration of no less than 5900000000 housing legis lation moreover there is a hint that he has been told to go full speed ahead in housebuilding plans and in enlarging the staff to a considerable degree especially in order to see that the great number of veterans returning from over seas may have proper homes as soon as possible i during the last few years of world war ii the process of naturalization has been a slow careful procedure in canada and every case has been practically re viewed bythe minister particular ly a case where the aplicant had come to this country on the eve of the war though a check has been made properly of all applications for canadian naturalization now there- is a suggestion in the capital by a high official that the naturali zation question will come up for revision at the end of the war as a modern method of acquiring nation ality in canada this of course would be a very important matter in view of the large immigration problem which will have to be solved at that time with no one in authority in ottawa attempting to minimize the great issues involved in formulating in future canadas immigration policies f during recent weeks and days there have been all sorts of sugges tions of disagreement amongst the allied nations but it must be stress ed by this veteran observer that backstage along parliament hill there is strong evidence oi the growth of a mutual understanding among the allied nations with the relations between soviet russia and canada having been strength ened and not merely maintained lately the ottawa council for canadian friendship has been increasing its activities in this capital officials of the- soviet rus sian embassy in ottawa have stressed in no uncertain manner that mutual understanding between the allied nations is imperative with its extremely good work in this respect having been done by the soviet russian ambassador by the first secretary of the embassy nicholas belokhvostikov and others even in industrial affairs an official of the soviet russian embassy major v s sokolov told an audience in the capitalrthat relations between the allied nations mustbe continued during peace as it had been during the war with the disclosure thatin russia- indus trial development had provided only 26 per cent of- the worlds industrial output in but in 1937 it was 158 per cent taking second place in the world arid first place in europeadding that another enlightening fact was that whereas in 1917 there were only 3000 scien tific workers inindustry there were now over 50000 in the united states of soviet socialist republic as
