llllili-lllzlng Reserves

The fact that Canada's latest step in creating a fighting force is based primarily on the Reserve Army should provide a great boost to the morale of that body. It is a thankless task at best to devote time which can be ill spared from recreation or from earning a living to preparing oneself foi service in case of need. It would be com- pletely discouraging if when the need arose the painstakingly trained and organized re- serves were ignored in order to create new formations for the particular job on hanrl.

Such was the case with the 25th Brigade, but now the Government recog- nizes that it. has in existence a valuable or- ganization of trained troops and propose- to use them as the backbone of a proposed brigade group for European or other serv- ice. The new brigade will benefit and at the saiiie time the Canadian Army (Re- serve! will liave reason to set its own wortli at a new high.

Canadian National Railways, although Can- ada may not dominate the world by size, economic strenglli, armed might or pop- ulation, it is second to no country in the world of ideas. humanity and graceful liv- ing. So he told the Kiwanis in New York. Speaking at the club's Good Neighbor Day luncheon, Mr. Thomas said, A na- tion's cultural dcvelopmcnt is :1 valid meth- od of appraising that nation's individuality. Canadian arts are, on the whole, not well known in the United States, but they arc flourishing and are distinctively Canadian." Commenting on the friendship that ex- lsts'between Canada and the United States. he added that they share "the distinction of having the highest standard of living the world has ever known."

Ilerod's Palace

The historian Josephus records that Herod built a palace at Jericho. There was until recently, however, no trace of it in the vicinity, which is not surprising since the area has been sllted over for centuries to vgrylng depths from Qhc overshadowing mountain, The silt might still belcheriohlng in um-gt, says an exchange. but for the foct: that local tanner: baton cultivating

and associates also withered under his tyrannical hand. His walls, nearly 2,000 years later, had a similar effect on tomato plants. Elsewhere in the fields they flour- ished but along the line of the buried walls where the soil was sparse, they dried up and the lines of barren plants revealed the secret to excavators.

The palace, almost as large as a foot- ball field, is the largest yet uncovered in Palestine and recoveries from the site are extremely valuable- According to Josephus. it was burned on Herod's death and rebuilt by his son. Findings of the archaeologists appear to bear this out.

When the palace fell into disuse, much of the stone including some fine Cornice work was ripped out and used to repair the ancient Roman road from Jerusalem to Jericho. This is the same road mentioiicd in the New Testament story of the Good Samaritan and from it last year came some of therichest recoveries of the archaeol- ogisls.

St. Peters Cathedral Monthly records that the use of incense was retained at Ely Cathedral up to the end of the eighteenth century. Its disuse was not connected with any litugical principle. Mr. T.

Mem- bars of the Cheese Proclucers' group said they are seeking an increase over last year's price. when Britain paid 25 cents a pound and the Canadian Government paid a three-cent subsidy. Producers said that because supplies are insufficient and because last year's contract for' 77,000,000 pounds was not filled, no similar figure will be agreed on this year.

.. jf, (And I-. 1-2. I.) BONDED WAREHOUSE BILL

Legislative Assembly. March 20. 1830:

Mr. Owcii rose to move for the appointment of II committee to bring in the heads of a Bill to es- tabllsh a hoiidcd warehouse in Charlottetown, for goods liable to duty. A brick store. he thought. could be built for I500, capable of Colllllllllllg 600 casks; the expense of which would be saved in four years, in warehouse rent, and in the check given to smuggling. which the appointment. of a snug- er would produce-besides avoid- ing the risk of loss. by casual fail- ures in the payment of bonds, under the present system. which be estimated at one per cent of the annual revenue.

After paying the salaries of the guagcr and warehouaenion, which offices might be combined in one person. and allowing forty pounds for the rent of a suitable building, until one was erected, there would be a clear saving to the revenue, by adopting the bonded system. instead of the existing mode of giving credit on bonds or recogni- zanccs. according to a calculation which he had carefully made. and which he submitted to the House, of 5.160 per annum.

The quantity of rum and other liquors annually landed of. char- lottetown was about. six hundred cusks. a considerable portion of which would go into the ware- house: and it. was notorious that smuggling was carried on to I great extent, which rendered the appointment of on efficient. pro- ventive officer highly necessary.

The motion was agreed to. and a committee to prepare 3 Bill sp- polnted. '

he just. wouldn”t play.

And now, in the command of forces from a dozen countries building up their strength to face Communism in Europe. General Eisenhower has the some sort: of job-only more of it.

The difficulties of integrating the units of a United Nations army are bound to test the skill of a mum of even Eiscnhowci-'s proved capacity. because he encounters, and must take account of, national jealousies which are but, natural. he comes up against old rivalries and suspic- constantly with conditions which ions and hatreds. He must deal can be not only 3 source of embar- rusment but an actual menace to the success of the enterprise.
