on estimated cost per mile of $487 for materials, whidr the Government would pay, and $286 ivf labor and engineering. Tap-in cost for the aver- age farm would amount to about $386.

in the debate on second reading of the electrification bill in the Saskatchewan House a few days ago, Opposition leader Walter Tucker doubted if the scheme would be self supporting and urged that it be subsidized to the extent of $3,000,000. All parties, however, voted unani- mously for second reading.

T-ho bill provides three major forms of an

' ' ' g power supply to Saskatchewan farms: (1) establishing rural power districts supplied by distribution system owned by the Saskatchewan Power Corporation; (2) establish- ing co-operative rural power associations which would set up their own distribution systems; (3) single consumers may receive service by sharing the cost of line with the Corporation.

' According to the Act, a two-thirds vote of residents is required to establish a rural power district, which if approved will have representa- tion-on a committee of resident owners. The cost of material for construction of the system and one meter for each consumer will be borne by the Corporation, and the cost of each trans- former required per parcel of land and run-off lnrto the farm, by the consumer. Cost of labour and other work required will be totalled and apportioned over the district on the basis of an equal amount to each quarter section, work on ‘the distribution system to be commenced by the Corporation upon payment of 75 percent of the amount for which the consumers a-re liable and $0 per cent of the OINOI-Illis for which each owner is responsible.

Saskatchewan has 1.18 farmers per mile—' lowest distribution in Canada. Generating plants depend on steam, diesel and some natural gas as fuel for prime movers. No one area can be described os a predominantly livestock produc- ing district and only a few forms earn 25 per- cent of their annual income through livestock.

In discussing the bill, Public Works Minis- ter Darling said that every encouragement will be given formers to build their own lines under supervision of power corporation engineers and no nduce the amount of cash contribution by customers. Mr. Tucker, however, was unconvinc- nd. He deplored the costs of the plan to be levied on farmers and said that on the basis of i942 prices the farmer would be required to pay §l,l37 for work and material required to elec- trify his farm.

Since coming into power in 1944, the C.C.F. Government claims to have electrified 1,812 forms an against a total of 24 farms electrified during the years 1940-44. Those, of course, were

Fixing The Easter ilata

While there is uniformity as to its mean- ing, many controversies have - been waged over the correct date of the Easter observance. Tlhis was one of the disputes which led Constan- tine to summon the Council of Nicaea in 325. The decision of the council was unanimous that Easter was to be kept on Sunday, and on the some Sunday throughout the world, the correct date to be calculated at Alexandria, the home of astronomical science. But a new difficulty arose owing to the absence of any authorita- tive rule by which the posclhdl moon was to be ascertained.

Briefly, Easter day is the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox; but this of course varies in different longitudes, while a further difficulty occurred in the attempt to

moon, more or less exactly repeat themselves. At first an eight years cycle was adopted, but it was found to be faulty; then the Jewish cycle sf 84 years was used, and remained in force at Rome till the yeor 457, when a more accurate calculation of a cycle of 532 years took its plocn. Ultimately a cycle of 19 years was accepted, and it is the use of this cycle which makes the Golden Number and Sunday Letter, explained in the Book of Common Prayer, necessary. '

What now appears to be a thorny problem for the U. N. General Assembly, the final dis- position of the former Italian African colonies, may tum out to be the salvation of the world organization.

People who have forecast a push-button age have greatly underrated the ingenuity o-f their fellows. An Ontario engineer announces an electric eye arrongemerrt for elevators that does away with button pushing. The passenger merely points to the required number and the equipment does the rest. ‘ o n e Sympathy would seem to be in order for the Ontario factory owner whose plant was broken into and safe burnt open by thieves trained in welding while in prison. Other trades, less readily adaptable lo a life of orime would be more appropriate although any training at all is preferable tomonc. ' I

The Ottawa Journal notes with approval that Mr. Churchill's attitude towards a propos- ed party platform is to have "No details." In this country detailed platforms with specific proposals for action have been a fruitful source o‘ trouble. Governments come rnto power com- miticd to certain actions whether they happen to be then prudent or not. When the platform is ignored, the voter becomes cynical.

Necessity is the mother of contrivances, an example occurring in Alberta. A cow with a wooden leg is one of the highest producers in the blooded Brown Swiss herd of Howard Martin near Calgary. The wooden leg was the outgrowth of a fall in which the cow, 'Crip", suffered a broken leg almost two years ago. Because "Crip" represented one of the best blood line! in the herd, Martin wanted to save her unborn calf. When veterinarians had to arnputate her right rear leg m‘ the hock, Martin fashioned an arti- ficial leg. S-he gave birth to a bull calf two months later and became a high producer. She goes to pasture with thfother cows.

ers have divisions in their ranks as to the ad- visability of advancing the clock instead of ris- ing an hour ea-rlier. By the same token, daylight saving in December would not help much, for the farmer has not need then of hired help, and the business man would have no garden to at- tend to. The "dew on the grass" theory has been modified as a valid excuse for non-adoption 'of daylight time, just as was that in the Bor- den regime that the milk cows would re-act to the change.

THE LOVE OF GOD

return with lusting power among men.

The Word became flesh; God spake through His Sun, who suffer- ed under Porrlius Pilate. Therefore it is possible to any "God is love." But the meaning of the statement is only apprehended when it is fil- led out in the great declaration: "God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son."

The Gospel recalls how God's love was experienced by one man in Palestine. With the thronglng pil-

Congratulations are in order to Captain Bill Odom for his astound- ing flight of some 5,300 miles from Honolulu to Teterboro, N.J., in a single - engined Beech Bonanza. Headwinds and storms made him detour over the Pacific and put him on instruments at times over the continent. At other times he had good tailwinds. But in good weather and bad this redoubtable pilot kept winging on, to break be- yond recognition hln own record of 2,500 miles, set a few weeks ago. and the former world record for a light plane of 2.060 miles set a de- cade ago by a Russian pilot. The long Pacific crossing, which only a few years ago was accomplished only by helmeted heroes, with the Navy alerted and crash craft stand- ing by along the course, was taken in stride by Captain Odom. He had the full confidence of the aviation fraternity that if he did not make New York he would easily reach our own Pacific Coast. Qualities of dependability have been so well de- veloped in the airplane Odom flew

across a passage in a letter of 1839, written by no lean a broad. minded person than Thomas Arnold of Rugby, in which the writer de- plores the growing‘ childllllnesn which he finds in English boys or the period, and nnyn that he does not know to what to ascribe n, "except to the great number of en. citing books. of amusement. like Pickwick and Niclrleby, Bentley's Magazine, etch etc. These com. pietely satisfy all the intellectual appetite of a boy, which in rarely very voracious, and leave him torn]. ly palled, not only for hln regulnp work . . . but for good literature of all aorta. even for history and for poetry." The supply of "excit- ing" mental pabuium, which in now by no means confined to books, but extends to the cinema and the radio, is so vastly greater today than in Arnold's time that we can only wonder what the great school- master would have thought of the prospects of a nation brought up in its youth on soap operas and horror films, television prizefights and crime magazines, comic strips and newspaper "cheesecake." Have our young people developed n re- sistance, an antibody, against these influences, or are they in danger of being more “totally palled" for good literature than the young people of 1839?—Toronto Saturday Night.
