Good roads in themselves are an economy, because they encourage business while poor roads discourage if not throttle it entirely. The bet- tcr the roads originally built, the better it stands up to wear and weather and the less is the cost of repair and maintenance.

Another factor is cheaper operating costs over a well-designed and well-engineered high- way. For example, it is more expensive—from the standpoint of gasoline and oil consumed and of depreciation of tires and automobile-to op- erate a motor vehicle on an earth or gravel road than on a paved ‘surfarw Tests have shown that it costs more than ‘one cent more per mile to run a car or truck on an unpaved road than on a paved road.

It is the period. possibly ten years hence when there is a g fut of goods in the world, speculation and an orgy of spending when the red light will be visible." - Strut-ford Beacon-Herald.

Professor Roy Bainer o! the University of California, has re- cently completed a tour of England. Wales and Scotland as a Quest 0! the Ministry of Agriculture. In three months he travelled 6.000 miles, spending his time With farmers, research workers and farm implement. manufacturers; and on July 22 he broadcast a re- port to Britain over the BBC net- work. u

“An outsider dfioklllg 0n. the Professor said, "l5 amazed at the response of the British farmer to the call for fond production. With the 111d of modern equlmnent he has plowed up the unwanted pas- ture. the commons and the park- lands. During this great revival of agriculture, the area under 61095 has been increased well over 50

As the result (the report goes on) of this stupendous program. 0°- ordinated by the voluntary War Committees set up in every coun_ ty, and aided by the Muitstry of Agriculture "rant since May 1939 of eight dollgrs an acre to farmers toward the cost of plowing. BTW ain now produces 80 p91‘ cent 0f her food needshinstead of 33 1.3 per cent before the war. Dairy farmers, in spite of the loss of grass acreage through the plowing up schemes, have broken all rec- ord; for milk production. Britain is today herself producing all her domestic sugar supply; and the by products from. the sugar beet field furnish tons of livestock food. All this has been achieved in spite of the loss by war mobil- ization of 40,000 skilled workers from the land.

‘The Director of the Norfolk Agricultural Station told Professor Bainer that the women's Land Army, 85,000 strong, learned to op. erate tractors and farm implements and to do most of the tasks found on fnmis “The praises oi these girls will never be adequately W118". the Director said.

‘Iliovugh he found the quality of the field work unexcelled and the labourer in a sugar beet field an artist with a hoe, Mr. Bainer was particularly impressed because he saw so much farm machinery. "There are parts oi England", he ends, "where the farms are probably more highly mechanized than any- where else in the world. It is just another example, parallel to our own experience in the States, where it can safely be stated that farm equipment l3 one of the most im. portant factors in winning the war. The British farmer. like the American, is now machinery con- scious. It is quite unlikely that he will be content to return to hand methods when the present emer- gency ls over."

A young man oi‘ St. Catharlnes, who had completed three years of his medical course, answered the call to arms as a volunteer. He served three years in the shambles. He is now 25 years of age and is most anxious to return home to complete his medical education and training, a matter of at least five more years, including hospital internship. The father's apples- tlon for repatriation was denied on the ground that it was “for selfish reasons." - St. Catharines Standard.

I-Iere is a true incident that be- fell last Friday as ever was. A most talkative and intelligent par- rot in a country house has learnt to call the dog “Mickey", and, more surprisingly perhaps, Mickey responds to the call. Just before the family were going to bed on this notable Friday a loud "Mickey. Mickey, come" was heard and it sounded so shrilly agitated that one of the family went into the hall to inspect, and at once saw two mice on the top of the par- rots cage. After a stealthy ap- proach the cage was tilted over and the mice spilt on the ground. The wnitlzuz dog killed one, but when the other was seen escaping Pol resumed her urgent cries to the dog-London Spectator.
