A Well-Earned Honor

(The following’ editorial tribute to a distinguished Prince Edward Islander appeared fn the Oct. l0 lasulp) of the Toronto Globe and Ma :

The announcement that. Arch- bishop McG-tilgan of Toronto bu been accorded by the Pope the rare distinctions of an appointment u assistant to the Pontifical Throne and the rank of a. Roman Colin will gtve to our Roma-n Cntlwlm community deep satisfaction, which will be shared by many people 0f Protestant faith. These hilh honor! are bestowed by the Vatican only when tt desires to give formal re- cognition to a very successful stew- ard5hl1) of important offices in the Church. and rovlde encouragement for further la rs of the same fruit-

ul k d.

The Catholics of this province are aware how well Archbishop Mc- Gulgan has earned these prized dis- tinctions by his selfless labors tn his chosen vineyard as a preacher and spiritual guide, and by his as- slduous zeal for the interests of their Church. But others. who do not accept lils religious teachings, have come to recognize in lilm o public-spirited eccleslastlc, en- dowed with scholarly erudltion and fine dignity, who has a broad- mlnded tolerance of other fall-ha than his own. They have noted that. since the beginning of this war he has been an unswervlng sup- porter of the cause of democratic freedom and the national war ef- fort planned for its salvation. and that he has given freely of his time and energies to assist. various domestic phases of this effort. Lead- ership of this klnd for the R0- man Catholic Church lri Ontario makes a great contribution to the prevention of sectarian feuds. and there will be a widespread feeling that in Archbishop McGulgtm His Hcliziess has selected a very fitting personage for special honor.

Mr. \\'. T. Hill, a live stock dealer, fartniiig just outside Lethbridge. (.-'\lta.) has reported this year a banner crop of wheat in Southern .-\lberta-(io bushels an acre from a loo-acre irrigated field. Last year the sanle field yieltl- ed 69 to 70 bushels an acre and its poorest yield was 5O bushels during a year when there was a scarcity of irrigation water. The field is ir- rigatcd by ptutiping and has grown five consecu- tive crops since the lantl was first brtil-"eii. The

The‘ Roman Campaign, like all Italian plains. ls limited ln size and hedged about by volcanic hills and spurs cf the Apennlnes through which the roads, ancient, and mod- ern, thread their way and seek the passes lending to other plalns and cities of the peninsula. Inevltably,

first crop was flax and the sticccctliiig four were wheat. Next year the field will be Slllll- titer-fallowed because the farmer has no place to store more wheat. This y'car's crop was a good grade, weighing (i4 pounds to the bushel. 4- a- x it
