ontario hydro hunger notes and com eggs and eggs in supporting the price of eggs the us government has gathered 63000000 pounds of dried eggs or enough to supply all the american bakeries for the next nine years a possible solution suggests joe harrington in the boston post would be to serve nothing but omlets in the senate restaurant until 1956 the paper industry- paper was first manufactured in canada about 100 years ago but prior to 1860 no wood pulp was used or pro duced rags esparto grass cotton waste and other sub stances were the raw materials used the finest grades of paper in canada as elsewhere are still made of a pulp made from rags in quality there is probably nothing superior to rag paper but the supply of rags was limited and manufacturers were forced to experiment with other raw materials they discovered that excellent paper could be made from the spruce balsam fir and hemlock so in 1866 the first wood grinder on the continent was installed at valleyneld que and the manufacture of wood pulp by the mechanical pro cess began from these small beginnings paper making in the dominion has grown into a business of immense proportions and canada has become the worlds greatest producer and exporter of newsprint paper of newsprint production 94 per cent is exported of the production of fine papers paperboard wall boards roofing materials and other products about 10 per cent is exported pulp and paper is the largest single item in canada s export trade accounting for 20 per cent of all canadian exports and for almost 40 per cent of all commercial exports to the united states the tribune for its newspaper alone consumes between 10 and 12 tons per annum yankee hogs to be happy there will be some happy hogs in the united states this year in addition to their regular rations of corn and slops they are going to be fed fresh grapes and raisins possibly some grape juice and wine its all a part of the great farm stabilization scheme whereby swollen wartime production and prices are maintained regardless of demand and the taxpayer for the last three years the grape industry of califor nia points out the financial post has been heading into trouble production has been running ahead of demand and great surpluses of fresh fruit raisins and wine have been accumulating uncle sam has been urging growers to be sensible and reduce production but the abnormally high floor prices the government guarantees have proved a much stronger attraction and growers have kept right on plant ing more grapes after all why should they worry about markets so long as the taxpayer foots the bills this years big crop however strained things pretty badly even when an expanded eca had been added to nor mal domestic demand there were going to be many thousand of tons left over of course nobody even suggested the oldfashioned remedy of reducing prices to gain more cus tomers instead they called on the hogs grapes and grape products are going to be fed to pork ers for every ton the grower disposes of in this or any other noncompetitive way he will receive 80 from the us government which is just another name for the us taxpayer the pig being notoriously catholic in his taste will probably appreciate the scheme the taxpayer may not in the floorpriced subsidized farming thank goodness we have been a little more cautious in canada but we are not entirely immune while customers turn to cheaper mar garine or do without governmentbought butter is piling up rapidly in cold storage before the winter sets in the same thing may well happen with apples and potatoes mr gardiner had better be careful even if the taxpayers do not object he may find that butter apples and potatoes make mighty poor hog feed taking a greal chance the prime minister at ottawa is advocating a measure in parliament that would prolong the life of any party in power beyond the five year term in the event of war its a risky step we imagine perhaps the country would find themselves with a government of which they heartily dis approved it might be a conservative government and not a liberal government it might be a ccf regime or some thing else they may develop over the years the liberal governmentdid very well throughout the last war but we have no assurance that an equally safe group of men may be at the head of affairs and so we say such a measure would be taking a great risk by imposing such a bill on parliament which of course would pass if the government so willed it breeder of trouble for the first time since the anglocanadian wheat agreements came into force in 1946 the u k government this fall could have bought wheat in the open market as cheaply as it buys from us and already there are indica tions of pressure on the british authorities to switch their business from us says the financial post in a syndicated column in a london weekend paper a labor mp claims that britain is ruining herself in tiying to save the canadian farmer from bankruptcy repeatedly during recent months there have been sim ilar expressions of opinion though some of them might not have been quite so bluntly expressed the plain truth is that this state deal we negotiated with the british is a breeder of trouble as was freely pre dicted on both sides of the ocean when it first was proposed when our government sold at less than world prices as it did sell to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars during the first three years of the contract naturally canadian farmers were dissatisfied and now when in the final year of the contract there is some chance of the pendulum swinging the other way with the uk government paying us more than world price the british consumer is naturally getting dissatisfied and because this is a matter of state trading of direct trade deals between governments the friction develops at a high and dangerous level aside from the many and serious economic weaknesses of state trading this political danger should be enough to condemn it when trouble develops about supply prices quality or anything else it is not some individual traders that are involved but the whole nation one doesnt need to be a student of history to know where that sort of thing can lead almost unnoticed washington took a step last week which many consider of far greater immediate importance to canada and particu larly hydrohungry ontario than development of the st lawrence power project it was the report of the federal power commission on power resources at niagara falls what it contained brought sighs of relief from ontario hydro com missioner chairman robert saun ders if the findings can be imppmented by treaty ontario could have all the power she wants by 1953 this would be at least three years before power from the st lawrence project cculd be developed the us commission found niagara falls was not being used to it full advantage it estimated us generation could be increased nearly fourfold there was definite need the commission said for remedial power works to ensure the best use of water diversions for power purposes generate more power this was what ontario has been waiting to hear it meant us power authorities now see eye- toeye with ontario on how best to utilize niagaras great resources allow a greater diver sion to queenston and thus with out using any more water gener ate three times as much power at present the amount of the diver sion is governed by the 1910 treaty and subsequent agreements the key mr saunders told the reporter is the difference between the head of water at the falls itself and at queenston at niagara its about 140 ft at queenston 303 ft the result three times as much power at queenston with the same amount of water at present there are three power plants at the falls under the ontario plan water now being used by these would be diverted to queenston no more water would be used but because of the greater head at queenston three times as much power could be generated ontario has been asking for this for a year or more last weeks fpc report was the first major us step toward granting it a treaty would be required to make it come true if it goes through within the next year another 500000 hp would be available from niagara by 1953 said mr saunders it takes approximately three years to build generating capacity of this magnitude this should just about take care of anticipated increased power demands in ontario in 1913 if it doesnt go through ontario faces a shortage of power until other facilities are developed or until the st lawrence project is developed evektbobys business marvel at utahs scenic grandeur continued from front page was the weirdest piece of erosion we had seen all the rock forma tions were a deep brickred giving the place its name the red canyon the combination of red rocks red soil and green trees was very picturesque and afforded me several opportunities for coloured shots bryce canyon further along was somewhat similar to the cedar breaks formation only on a much vaster scale there is a road about 18 miles long skirting the west rim about a dozen lookout points each with its own special features these vistas must be seen to be believed to understand how they got that way is a real imagina tion stretcher the book says that during the last 200 million years the region hereabouts has witness ed many changes in landscape and climate at times it was covered by the sea at other times by broad rivers which traversed its surface and at still other times it was swept by desert winds most of the rocks were laid down by water as gravel sand mud and limy ooze then they were converted into solid rock by the weight of layers above them and by the lime silica and iron that cement their grains embedded in these rocks are fossil sea shells fish trees snails and the bones and the tracks of dinosaurs and other pre historic animals then according to the geologists after an accumu lation of about s000 feet of strata an upheaval of the sarths surface occurred lifting the area to a height of nearly 2 miles above sea level and as a consequence of this shifting of the earths surface the present phenomenon called erosion was begun whereby the action of rain snow ice wind frost etc has worn away and broken down the weaker parts of the rock formations and left standing the pinnacles spires minarets castles and what have you that comprise the amphi theatres both at cedar breaks and at bryce it is also interesting while speaking of erosion that the virgin river which flows through zion national park carries away about 3 million tons of groundup rock every year at an average rate of iso carloads each day the result to us of all this terrific natural activity is an area of amazing beauty principally useful for taking pictures of and attracting tourists from all over the world the dixie national forests are great reservoirs of animal life principally deer and at certain seasons hunters come from all over the country to the uplands to there are over 3000 telephone systems in canada follow their favorite sport the season is on now and we noted with interest that standard equip ment seems to be dogs guns and trailers the little town of st george utah which was our next stopover was literally overrun with hunters mostly from cali fornia their red hats and coats were to be seen on every street and in every store and most of them seemed to have their trailers and their wives with them using st george utah as a base we planned on making pil grimage to the grand canyon and seeng zion national park on the way so we set out tuesday am although weather conditions didnt seem too promising in the zion canyon we were duly amazed at the grandeur and immensity of the mountains if you want to feel like an ant look ing up at a sky scraper and have your importance as an individual humanbeing deflated to nearly zero then visit zion national park and look up from the bottom of the gorge we found it almost impossible to take pictures to get any worthwhile shots would have entailed climbing part way up mountain sides so as to get a complete view of the one opposite we didnt have the time or the ambition for that so we had to content ourselves with about three pictures which may or may not prove to be any good in any case they couldnt convey photographi cally the magnitude of the zion canyon east of the canyon the road is a series of switchbacks up the side of the mountain and at the top of the highest switchback a tunnel over a mile long takes you right through a mountain to the other side the tunnel is a full size high way and is itself on an up grade from about 6 places there were pulloffs where you could park your car and look down into the depths you just came up from these were holes cut from the tunnel to the side of the mountain this switchback road is an engineering marvel in itself not to mention the tunnel at the top of it east of the pass there were still more scenic rock formations but we were by this time driving through rain so didnt stop very often for pictures the bad weather stayed with us all the way to the arizona border and then it got worse it rained cats dogs buckets and all the rest right down to cameron where we pulled into a motel for the night like a lot of halfdrowned rats nuff said next morning the rain had stopped so we started off for the grand canyon before we arrived at the gates of the park some 50 miles away it was snowing having come that far we decided to give it a whirl anyhow and we id be happy if i could just solve my biggest problems said a neighbour of mine the other day here was a man who believed that his whole life was spoiled because he had troubles hap piness was not for him how wrong he was life is full of difficulties trials dis appointments and problems et countless people have learned that they can find hap piness in spite of these uni versal handicaps indeed the wisest of them have also learned that to overcome hardships and create right out of wrong is in itself a source of great satis faction your work for instance may be far from vour ideal but dont let that fact depress vou or mar all the other satis factions that life can bring there is no ideal job so make the best of whatever is set before you no life is not easy it seldom hands us happiness ready- made but from its raw mate rials we can build a lot of happiness by our own efforts is there an ideal method of meeting peoples needs for life insurance experience has proved that the efficient service of competing

manning clerktreasurer court house whitby ontario the old home town by stanley continued on much to our later chagrin about 12 miles from the grand canyon lodge the car ahead of us lost traction and stopped on a grade so we had to also and all the cars behind us about 15 of us all told we found ourselves in a blinding blizzard with no traction to speak of and in our case not even the proper clothing to cope with the outside temperature so we all got to gether folks from texas illinois utah california wyoming and of course ontario and between the bunch of us we turned every car around on the grade so that we could all get started again going downhill this process took the best part of three hours because they all had to be bumped around by manpower it just wasnt safe to attempt to drive them around just to make things more complicated a woman from texas got her car mired in the ditch on the mountain side of the road and it took longer to get her straightened out than all the rest of us put together to cut a long story very short we all retreated to below the snow level as fast as we safely could and without even a glimpse of the big ditch between them canadas two major

way of improving the soil and stopping runoff of water says dr o m mcconkey of the depart ment of field husbandry at the ontario agricultural college your garden son is hungry for good leaf mould leaves contain organic matter nitrogen minerals phosphorus potash and calcium all valuable elements for increasing fertility of your garden soil instead of burning leaves pile them on the compost heap pile in layers about 8 inches deep dampen down with water and then add alternately 2 inch layers of soil keep the pile of compost hollow in the centre so that the rain will soak in in a few months you will have beautiful leaf mould to apply to your soil simplicity truth and persist ency are three factors that build success in advertising nowadays the electric switch makes tilings go in the olden
