WINNIPII}. May 7—(CP)-Ms.n. itoba continued the hardest hit ol' the Western Provinces tonight from flood waters. Thousands of acres of rich farm land in the Poplar Poinhdistrict. 83 miles west of Winniliel’. now are covered with water. '

Saskatchewan and Alberta have presented ‘a steadily-brightening picture in the -last few days with few exceptions. 1n British Colum bis the threat of floods is just coming home to residents although the serious stage has not been reached.

Waters of the Assinboine River continued to rise at Poplar Point. lapping over narrow dykes and adding steadil to the 10,000 acre» of farm terr tory previously hid- den by water.

In British Columbia, the Fraser River mounted six inches during the night. Sunshine swept the Fraser Valley. lending a hope that the river waters might be lapped up if normal temperatures prevail. In such a case. there would be a slow run from the snows on ln- terior mountains. As a precaution, however. dykes have been inspect- "ed and sand bags and rock have been sent to danger points.

Noticeable in the entries for the Roosevelt Raceway night racing program this spring are horses rom the Oastleton Farm stable. They will compete in the "$25,000 and $40,000 stakes for pacers. We do not recall having noticed the Gustieton Farm horses’ taking part in night racing previous years and no doubt the astute Scp Palin had this in mind when he entered into a. contract with our friend Joe O'Brien.

llruelllloax Is Played 0n Peasants By ilonniunists

' ly 3M. IOIII-TI. Is. (Associated Prela News Analyst) VOne of the most cruel hoaxes being played on some of the Communlst-subjugated peoples o! Europa is in the much touted spatter olf land "rdorm." ‘

The longing 1471' a lliitll land d their own has been one of the driving forces for years among the peasants under the old feudal agricultural systmls.

The Reds have made much of it in an attempt to winovar the people of every country they have invaded. It was mle of the. chid baits held before the people I Bouhnern Italy in the recent elec- tions. Bvery peasant was prom- ised that, under a. Communist regime, his landlord would be de- spolled and he would be given his own plot of ground.

It doesn't always work out too well. especially in wheat country where cultivation of smell plots is not economical, but the peas- ants love it. They short-sighted- ly trade their liberties for it.

And then comes disillusion- ment. An example of, what hap- pens is given by amigrm from Estonia. ' - .

The Estonian peasants got their land in 1945 with assurances that "no power on earth" would de- prive them of it. Until the end of 104') all went well. The farmers filled their quotas (or the state and the Communist Government bragged that they had done in 10 months what was supposed to have taken a year.

However, as the Estonlans tell it. early this year’ the Boiahevlsta took a new turn. They decided that individual titling o! land is nefarious, and began. to set up Kolkhorxrs, Russian-type collect- ive farms.

When the land-loving peasants declined to respond as rapidly as desired, the Communists ialew how to put on the heat. ‘Ilhey sn- nounced that machine and trac- tor stations and horse-lending centres (which allot the Govern- ment-owned equipment to the fanrn-s) "would henceforth be able to make contracts only with kolkhoses and peupers. The nnall farmer would be frozen out} un- able to till his fields. But failure to fulfill his Government produce quota remained a criminal of- fence. He had to join the kolk-

Mann/however. have tried to make shift, as evidenced by the fact that the Government still is forced to conduct all intensive areas-rende- camnshn. Direct ‘force has apparently bee-n avoided for the time being.

Now, in fairness it mast be said that collective farming or 1.1., Russian type has some advant- ages. Better machinery and yrs. fessionsl direction inaeau pm- duction. Millions of Russian peas- ants are far better off. live in better houses, and many or u... doubted sincerity have testified t" hevilillem unknown under the Oalars. .

But they never, or seldom. have owned land. n is a different mat- ter, as the Estonlans put it, to the man “whose independence h“ made h’m the bukbone of his na- tion and the keeper of its trad;- tlonai aspirations to freedom.‘

Canadian iiall lforkers Walt For Strike Vote

In Trouble

OTTAWA. May 'i‘—(CP)-_A lot of Capital dignity was shed today as a Senator, a nlesnhu of Par- liament and high-ranking Govern- ment officiala strwgled from under a. backfired joke. _

Tile moral seemed simply that margarine is no laughing matter. Not in Ottawa, anyway.

hue members of Ottawa Board of ‘Irade. returnllu last night from the United States. brought these items as gifts from Washington Board of Trade: a

i. A head of lettuce. l l. Some celery. I. A couple of tomatoes. 4. Four pounds of margarine.

This is the catch: Margarine ls illegal in Canada: and lettuce. cei- ery and tomatoes sre.banned under foreign exchange regulations.

Smack in the middle of the storm which blew up today is a customs officer at Ottawa airport who apparently didn't spot the "contraband."

Senator Norman Paterson, one of the returing travellers. rushed to the customs man's defence.

"It was just a practical joke," said the Senator. who, incidentally was in Washington when the Can adlan Senate voted Wednesday to retain the margarine ban, In a speech last week he supported the

te for butter.

He called the customs offices “courteous and careful, innocent and inoffensive," and said he'd go straight to Revenue Minister McCann, if necessary. to make sure the man gets into no trouble.

"He didn't see the lettuce or the oleo", said the Senator. "hilt he was in no way lax in his duty."

Apparently that was ’the view of the other Board of Trade members -.Russell Bouchcr (PC-Carleton), president Keith Davidson and sec~ rotary William Cairns.

‘rl-lere was another side to the story. tholgh.

"This is not a funny subiect." said David Sim. Deputy Revenue Minis for Customs and Excise. “You just don't joke about this kind of thing." »

P. Lorne Young, assistant De- puty Minister of Customs. out it this way: "Margarine has been prohibited in Canada for half a. oéntury. . . . The customs officer was not doing his duty when he let that margarine through."

And I... H. Taylor, secretary of customs: "I can't see it. Even though the margarine was a gilt, it shouldnit have come into the country." . Senator Paterson added one Lin- sl touch about the margarine:- "It looked like butter, it tasted like butter. perhaps it was butter. It said ‘oieomargarinf on the package all right. but it was the finest. butter I ever tasted."
