said last night "it is vitally import-.

ant" that the in North Atlantic Treaty powers reach -agreement speedily on standardisation of certain ltetns of military equip. mgnt, particularly personal weap- ons. light motor vehicles. field communlcatioris equipment and anti-tart weavolll

His statement to the Quebec command of the Canadian Legion indicated Canada is carrying into the larger arena of pact discuss- V0115 her steady pressures on the united states and United Kingdom on get on with standardization.

In a speech prepared for deliv- cry. Mr. Ciaxion said Canada knows and has told her allies what me is prepared to do in the iii;a.'pOI'lS she would like to see gen- rrally adiopted.

He also said:

1. One reason for delaying purchase ,of army equipment is that "the time may come soon when we may have anti-air- craft rockets, guided missiles and r loss weapons of much greater efficiency" than those now available. The other reason was that the army was "relatively very much better off" than the other We services for modern equipment at the end of the war and al- ready had two-thirds of tho 131,000,000 articles it would need in the first year of war.

2. The regular forces now have 18,000 men and all three

I. lrnplanentation of At- lantic Pact planning "requires no major changes" for Canad- ian defence "because our role in any future emergency is clear."

Cunda was developing two of the most important defensive weapons conceived since 1945 in her long-range all-weather fighter and her anti-submarine vessel and had ordered "large quantities of radar and wireless equipment."

A Mhlor Need

A'mA,1or necessity was the aunjr lcstim of weapons. The aim must be to "develop a wireless set which can be made in a matter of weeks for S100 and do practically the some as a set costing 31,000 today,"

,Mr. Ciaxton said Russia's at- titude leaves Canada without a choice in her large defence spend- ing and her Atlantic alliance. "In the pruent state of the world. de- fence expenditures are the neocl- sary premiums for national secur- lty."

O'I'l'AWA. April 22 - (CP) -- 3- Cr 5- 1"- Photo squadrons are Setting ready for what headquart- ers sources have announced may be the "last big year" in s 2!- year-old task of photographing Canada from the skies.

The three photo squadrons. which last ear photographed g foul of 850. square miles of Canadian territory in the far north and other remote cpotg, expect to be in the field within a few weeks. They will operate until fsll.

Two Dakota aircraft already have left the home base of the photo survey at nearby Riockcllffo. They headed this week for Ed- monton. to establish field head- quarters there for one of the squadrons planning operations north of that area.

Actual photo operations are ex- pected to start within the next few weeks, with between 35 and 40 photo and transport support air- cflft i-H-if-int: DH-rt. By the time the last plane returns here in the fall. practically all of Canada will have been photographed from the air.

A number of section of North- ern Quebec and Ontario, the Labrador and the Northwest Ter- ritories. remain to be covered by the R. C. A. F.'s "tri-met" or three-camera system, especially devised for rapid coverage which produces maps suitable for air navigation.

However, much work will remain to be done by vertical photo- graphy, a slower but more accur- ate method which produces more accurate maps.

The Air Force works in con- Junction with the Department of Mines and technical surveys. which produces the actual maps.

COIIOUIIED MOUTH!

We smile our prettiest when

we want to make a good impres- sion. if, instead, we opened our mouth wide, the result would be anything but satisfactory. How- ever, in Birdland, a suitor very frequently tries this on his lady love with great succefs. Nature lends aid, by often giving the lining of the mouth an unusual colour, or one that shows up well against the plumage We ” have a chance to look inside Robin nestllngsi, and so we expect them all to be pinkish - like our own, dogs. cats', and horses' But there is great variety of colouring, especially in the case of water birds. When the big, white Gannet gapes, a large expanse of black is seen: the white and pale grey Klttiwake shows on an orange mouth. some Fulmars have plum- age much like a Klttwake's, while others are entirely dark grey; but in either phase the mouth interior is mauve, Imarlne the impression Mr. Merganser makes on his would - .be - mate. His head is a lovely green, stopping abruptly at the neck: below this the feathers are white; and when he opens his bill she sees down a red throat. Bonapm-te's Gull also has a red linning to its mouth; quite ry if it is to be noticed at all, because this Cull's white underparts are rose tinted. the eyelids are carniine, the feet coral, and the webs between the toes Vermilion.

Very unusual in colouring is the blue gape of the Double-crested Cormorant, a bird that is nearly three feet long and whose plumage resembles greenish-black armour. Blue eyelids, green eyes, an orange spot between eye and bill, and an orange throat combine to make the Cormorantrs breeding costume unique. However, for something really spectacular, the Puffin in its full dress, mating attire deser- ves the prlze. It stands vertically. manlike. is black above, white below, with a white face. Conical shivped projections near the eyes are greenish-clue. the eyelids vermilion, All this seems excep- tional enougb, but the large, ex- traordinary. xaudy beak, shed in winter, is covered with geom- etrical patterns in grey-blue, yel- low, and vermiilon, and two orange rosettes decorate the mouth. Even

a bright yellow mouth lining cannot com-Pfie with such st- tractions.

Land birds' months are un-

excitlng in comparison with those of water birds, though it is inter- esting to find that the golden song of the Thrush pours from a golden throat.

Pupils 0f 2000 A. D. To Have cushy Time

HALIFAX. April 22-(CF)-Wliaf. will the classroom of 2000 A. D. be like? Prof. C. H. Mercer of Dal- housie University in Halifax thinks it will bear little resemblance to present day schoolrooms.

Pupils will likely be ensconced in swivel chars, prophesies the profes- sor. There will be no blackbogrds, which he describes as tin curse." Students will relax in comfortable chairs and listen to a tape recorder spiel off the day's French lesson. Teachers, freedlfrom the blackboard, will devote their time to checking on their ward.-1' attentiveness.

Prof, Mercer says the classroom of the future will be built around the microphone. Students will say their lessons to the microphone. The machine will play back the pupils' speech and the class will criticize.

For the teacher, life will begin at 55, predicts the professor. Teachers are at their best between the ages of 50 and 70, he says. Young teach- ers sre too personal and sensitive, while the older ones see life and the pupils with eternity as s. back- ground. Prof. Mercer is M.

He says studen can't be taught the fundamentals of a foreign lang- uage in three years of high school. The correct way to teach French. which is the professor's speciality, is to have the pupils listen to the recorded lesson the first time. men they should recite the lesson into the microphone and listen as it is played bac

The professor has great faith in the tops records and microphone as aids to touching. "The future," says Prof. Mercer, "has great things in store for these gsdsets."

meter is over. The churches have had their celebrations and

Eastertidsi in outbursts of sac- red song. They have seen many in their paws whom they will not see again until Christmas Sun- day. But underneath all that is superficial and showy, comfort and hops have been brought afresh to great numbers of strick- en souls.

Now that these ceremonies are all over for the year, what have they left with you? What do you really believe? What are the bases of your faith-the rock founda- tions on which you build?

"I believe in God, the Father, Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth." so runs 'the first phrase of the Apostles' creed. Many will go with us that far who won't go any fa er. But surely, it Eas- ter means anything to us, it tells us something definite about:Cyod's attitude toward ourselves. We alone are able to respond to His approach and to understand His will, Then to us the first truth that Easter reveals is the sell- giving of God. He gave His Son to save a lost world. That means something for me, a sinner. Here is the very first truth that it teaches-He gives His best to sup- ply what I lack instead of pun- lsl-ling me for that lack. His at- tltude toward me is to meet my need instead of condemning ms for my poverty
