Of the (liimage done to agriculture by industry by far ilie worst, he said, is smoke, the air is polluted, fllc vital rays of the sun are excluded and soil is rendered so acid as to become in- fertile. It has been said that industrialists can- not afford to combat the smoke nuisance, but neither can farming afford to pay the bill for them. It is riot realized that smoke damage may be prevalent within a ten-mile radius of some big cities.

Major Rev. J. A. Sabourin, O.B.E., spoke in Saint john Sunday night, and according to the Telegraph-journal the vast public gathering

churchman was highly privileged and all were conscious of the fact. The ringing words of one who accompanied Canadian troops in their assault on Dieppe, who knows the hardships!

and perils of war and its grim demands on men and machines, provided first-hand testimony, stirring the heart and convincing the mind. Noth- ing could better stimulate a sense that it would be Uﬂlfllfllﬂllllﬁ to do less than “back the attack"! to the limit. Our men have already been in

battlefafloat, ashore and in the air. Abbe Sa-_ boiirin has been with some of them and marched

with them on a memorable occasion. The storyl he told will doubtless be repeated with variations maiiy limes in the future. In order that our men may always engage the enemy with confid- ence, we must provide them with all they need. \Ve must back their attack and let them know we back them. We must buy more Victory Bonds.

Apart from the naval coast defence elements, A.A. and Air Force personnel, it is estimated that 25,000 men are needed to assure the defence of the entrenched camp of Bizerta, and it is to be feared that the German-Italian forces are in a position still to maintain effcctives of this or- der. (TllCFC are certain weak points in the de- fences, but it will be appreciated that it is im- possible to disclose them in this article.)

The thoughts of’ the British farin- er are turning with anxiety to what his condition ls likely to be when the war is over. What he fears most. is a repetition of the frustrated hopes of the last peace. That, must: never be. Once again the govern- ment: have promisec to formulate an agreed all-party policy for iigrl- culture. That pledge was first. given more than two years ago, and now plans are being discussed. The foundations of a. plan are not hard to find. They have been proved ln this war and the last. and they must be applied with equal effect in peace. They are; Stable markets, guaranteed prices. and good wages for the workers. These are the three fundamentals of a healthy agri- culture. not, to British farming alone but to primary production the world over. —-London Dally Mall.

TIIE CHAIRMAN'S WALKING STICK

It. was DNIW well understood bv the middle of’ the Victory 1min c a m nnfxn in Marlposa that on the final even-

And now hes thrown himself into this campaign with 1111 1115 old time energy. In any case us‘? a good teller: 1 mean hes all r1 It gas always been the thin: 1n Mgflpqsa to give a man a walklnil stick ln recognition of any Public service Tliev gave a stick to the designer of the historic monument in the Park. and a stick for the Municipal Abbattotr. and a stick for the new wing of the Asylum that increases its capacity three to 0.119 and definitely put Marlposa on hhe map as a. home for the feeble mind- ed

Generally when_they're going to give 11 stlck the Idea sets started and goes round town, confidentially. of course. so that the man himself won't know it. In this case. as a matter of fact. the Idea originated lii Jeff Barber Shop and it was Jeff himself who first started 1t. He

and rested his elbow on the cus- "tonurfs neck and said: “What about a slick for Jlm Heavyside?"

The idea caught right on. And Jeff, -—y0u know how a modest man gets encouraged and goes on,-siild that. to his miild, one of these hfalaccu canes with a band on would be just right It appears that. they sell canes like that. clear up to a hundred dollars. and past it, though you wouldn't think it.

Well, that was all settled and the next thini: was to raise the money. Bill Landy, —he’s the mining brok- er I spoke of. generally does that because lie understands finance. I-Ie Just. irels from each feller what he feels like zlving, and keeps ft con- fidential. He gives out ncthlnrz except the total. A lot of mining business is done that wziv, They lust. tell you ivliiit you get.

So that was llIl settled. and‘ Bill izot busy and ii couple of days later he was telling a, group of us 1n the sh" that he 111d all the monev for the cane lii siizht. when who should walk in but. Jlm Heuvysl-dc himself. He was leriiiinz on a Malacda cane. You could hav- knocked any of us down with a club

One of the tells-rs, In a chair, who could only liiilf see. culled out, "What's the mutter, Jim, gone lame?"

"No." said Jim Ileavysice wltli a laugh, "the boys at the factory gave me a farewell supper last night and this stick as a presentation. "That's the third stick," he added. “that. I've

got in less than a month. Take a look at it, isn't it a dandy?"

Thev passed it i-ouiid but of course the heart was out of the idea now. They had to think of some~ thing else.

Well, the next day, Jeff said to some of the customers in the shop, "PI'OI(.‘SSOI' BYTOH W85 11D h€I'€ fTOfll the city yesterday and he says why not give Mr. Heavyslde one of these sets of books. —wliat 1s it. —an en- cyclopaedla?"

"Ari eiicyclopaeda." said one of the tellers, “Why. Jlm Heavyslde could never read that. He's no scholar "

“You don't have to read an en- cyclopaedla says another. It. is for the front room Anc. when you buy them now they sell you a glass case right with them so that you don't have to open it. even for dusting. Bert. Trawley has one-has had it for ten years-and it's in dandy shape. -i;ood as new, - they never open it."

"Grandfather had one." said an- other customer, “gtven to hlm like this when he retired. but he read 15: yes. sir. sat down to read ft clear through and get the good out of it. But, lie was too old when he started. He died in the letter A. But Jlm Heavyslde is only sixty-five. He can tackle It."

So it was settled that the pre~ sentatlon gift would be an gn- cyclopaedlii. But lust b0 avoid all er- ror this time they not Bill Landy to go up to the HeavysldeLs house to 511v round and see if they had one. Lucky tliev did. They had one sure enough, and a real beauty, an mitlqiie, in fine old leather, at. least seventy years old. Goodness knows what 1t would fetch today. B0 that was ii lucky escape from another biid break. . Then there came to Peter Coglimd on the spur of the moment one of those bright Ideas that will some day send hlm to Ottawa. —or half way to it. Anyway-as far. say. as Kingston. -

"I've got it," he said. "We'll lve Jlm Heuvyslde a. hundred do la: Victory Bond."

Wasn't. 1t simple and timely? and obvious? And yet on one had thought of it. It's always like that. Give the Chairman one of his own Bonds! Why of course!

So the meeting, -ft. was a sort of meeting -broke un with enthus- iasm and went to dinner. -

I llnirered behind a moment.

"That's flne Isn't it? I said, "that was the real solution "

R. A. F. Transport‘ Command Crossing

The t of speed records over the At antic ls discouraged by the Royal A1: Force Transport Comm- and. It Ls, tndeed, a disciplinary offense for flying personnel deliv- ering new aircraft to Britain or Africa to attempt to beat previous best flying tfmu. The Captains of Bombers crossing the Atlantic have their flight plans regulating the tvuties. zones, altilt/udm and engine -speeds for each mission ‘ ' ‘ 1n accordance with weather forcasts to obtain maximum safety, comfort and fuel economy, as well as to avoid unnecessary wear and war. Periodically, however. with unus- ually favorable conditions for the t. plans, notable trans-ocean t.‘ sstngs are made.

A distinctive perfonnance newly recorded 1s that of Captain W. . May, of British Overseas Airways Corporation. operating on the North Atlantic under the R. A. If. ‘II-aris- port; Command. Captain May, flying B Liberator with maximum all up load 0f about 58.000 lbs. and aided by a tallwtnd sometimes approach- ing 100 knots. made I] landfall to landfall crossing from Newfound- land (2,200 statute miles) 1n 6 hrs. 20 mlns. He flew on to an airfield inside Britain, registering only 7 hrs. 40 mlns. from take-off to landing. He thus reduced by 21 mlns. the previous best tarmac to tarmac Atlantic flight 0f 8 hrs. 1 min. acc- omplished fourteen months ago by 1; pilot officer of the Royal Australian Air Force in a Hudson twin-engine bomber. Captain May flew practic- ally the whole course in a dense cloud at. about 20.000 feet. and found that he could not get over it even at 22,000 feet.

Another outstanding flight Just: made ls that of Captain S. T. B. Crlpps, D. F. C., who flew non stop from Montreal to Britain (3.100 statute miles) 1n l2 IIIS. 51 mfns, lowerlngby four minutes the prev- ious best time put up by Captain G. R. Buxton a year ago 0n the same direct. journey.
