Dyer 30 years ago the late Senator William Dennis of the Halifax Herald put up a most strenuous fight to have the Halifax light and power plant municipalized. He lost out, Mont- real interests buying up the stock. Now public ownership of the power system there and other areas served by the Nova Scotia Light and Pow- cr Company will be recommended to city coun- cil by lylayor Lloyd following s conference be- tween Premier MacMillan and the mayor. Fol- lowing the conference the mayor said, “It was specifically intimated that when the city was ready to take over the electrical distribution sys- tem the province would move to acquire the power generation and main distribution system” of the Nova Scotia Light and Power Company.

Three thousand children whom the Germans forcibly deported to Polish territory have been returned .to Soviet Byelorussia. When the Fascists were being driven from Byelorussia, they staged a hunt for children, surrounding the villages, breaking into houses and seizing children in the streets. They sent them by train- loads to “donor camps", where German doctors drained their blood for wounded Hitlerites. Thousands of Byelorussian children perished from excessive loss of blood, and the survivors were scattered throughout Polish towns and villages. Representatives of the .Byclorussian Government are now trying to locate and re- patriate these children. They find them ex- tremely exhausted, barefoot and ragged. Special departments have been opened in hospitals in Brest, Baranovichi and Stolbtsy for treating the children, and measures are taken to locate their
