The Atlantic battle began on the first day of war. it did not end until the last enemy subma Inc had surrendered. It was the long- est battle of the war and it was fought sometimes -s-inst areal
odds.
The Canadian navy entered the war with no more than 11 effective fighting ships, including five mine sweepers, It was to expand to a force of nearly (00 ships. support- ed by a trained and determined complement of 90.000 men I110 5,w0 women. it had started with less than 1.500 l'MlI- '
The cost of the war to the Can- adian navy was' nearly 2.000 dead and 319 wounded. A total of 32 warships was lost. Most of the toll of men and ships was exacted on the Atlantic; yet it was on this ocean that the RCN made safe the crossing to Britain of 25.343 voyages of merchant ships burden- ad with 181,180 tons of supplies. On May 5 of this year, today's navy will honor that of the Second World War- Many of those who attend the services and observan- ceg will have served and, iulook- ing back, they will be able to com- pare and find their purpose the same. r
ROLE TODAY
in some ways, the naval role today is even more vital to the de- fence of the country. Fifteen years ago. the battle was against the attackersof shipping in Canadian waters and. in one instance of mlscalculatoin. a torpedo explod- ed ashore on a comparatively remote Canadian shore-line.
Today, it is not a misguided torpedo exploding on the beach near a Gaspe peninsula village thst is the threat, but rather the long-range guided missile with which the modern submarine can send destruction into the heart of Canada's major industrial area
The naval personnel manning the ships equipped to deal with this threat today have as their in- heritance the memory and the reputation of those who fought so hard and so well in the Battle of the Atlantic.
MIKOYAN IN VIENNA
VIENNA (Reuters) - Russia's first deputy premier Anastas Mi- koyan arrived by air Tuesday for a four-day official visit to Aus- tria. The vlsit. for talks with gov- ernment leaders and trips to in- dustrial enterpriaes. was to have been made last November. but was postponed because of the Hungarian revolt.
FIRE FIREH
The Federation of Agriculture offices were possibly minor vic- tims in the fiery volcano. that erup- ted in the Co-operative building last Monday. While the Federation loss In material things is a minor one compared with that of the other groups involved. neverthe- less it is a major misfortune in that the operations are interrupted at a time when plans had been made for the holding-of the school district meetings.
The investment of the members in office equipment was protected with insurance and can be replac- ed. The files even though they descended with their cabinets into the lower regions have been sal- vaged and while water soaked can, when dried out. he deciphered. The filing system covering both in- surance and membership are sav- ed and in good condition. But there is soon a decision that must be made on the general files which go back over a period of years and are chiefly valuable from a historical standpoint.
Perhaps the most serious loss took place in the reference library which contained a number of books dealing with the early history of farm organizations In this province, and for practical purposes are ir- replaceable. To summarize. prac- tically everything the Federation owned was seriously damaged but the more important portions will still serve as a basis for continuing the records of the organization- MEETING DATES ..At the time of the fire the en- velopes (over 400) containing the material going out to the secret- aries for the meetings which were to have been held on Monday, May 0 were ready for mailing. This ma- terial was all destroyed and must now be reprinted which means that the meeting date has now been ad- vanced to Wednesday. May 15.
We would therefore advise mem- bers of the Federation and others interested to reserve the 15th of May for the meeting in all school districts when membership and protection will be brought up to date.

Farm buildings are Very Vulnerable to fire, rarely if ever is it possible to control a fire that starts in a barn and it is an exception to bring one under con- t.ol in a farm house in the usual absence of adequate fire fighting 6(lUlDmPIil- There are literally thousands of farmers in this prov- ince ivho iiould be well advised to take a look at their insurance pull- cics and the protection that have in relation to the value of Ihcir buildings and their property.

About ten days ago no iierc told by a neighbour that this year was the first spring in iireiity years that there had been no iialcr in his house cellar. This indicated that there was very little moisture to any depth in the ground, an observation which was borne out by the fact that roads and fields were drying with remarkable rap- idity after an April with little rain- fall. Tuesdayls rain with Wednes- day's snow will be a valuable con- tribution to restorying moisture levels and to encouraging the growth of grass and clover. A dry, cold and windy May is something to be greatly feared from the standpoint of grass and hay. CROPPING PROSPECTS ,
Until the rain on Tuesday and Wednesday there was prospect for the land drying up quite rapidly and getting into conditions for spring cultivation. Now there will likely be a week elapse before even the early birds will start getting restless and consider getting on the land. .. FARM POLICY
