Street-corner prices in most Canadian cities and towns will be about the same as last year-from 31.25 to 51.50 for small trees and ranging upwards. a Canadian Press survey shows. in some areal prices may be higher because of heavy demand by United States buyers. Manitobnns still get the cheapest trees. On payment of 25 cents resi- dents can chop down a tree on crown land. The Provincial govern- ment laid out an area 50 miles east of Winnipeg where prospective buy- ers can cut their own spruce trees. BUY SIX-FOOT TREES The season's most expensive trees are probably 1,000 scotch pine now en route to Venezula from Ontario. North Americans and Europeans living in the South American country paid 835 each for the six-foot trees which are in- dividually boxed. The whole lot is refrigerated. Canada exports an estimated 10.- 000,000 Christmas trees to the United States each season. Sales have grown rapidly since the end of the Second World War. Quebec is one of the biggest pro- duccrs. Officials said last year 4.- 300.000 trees were cut. 3.719.000 being shipped out of the province. Most exported trees went to the United States. Govemment officials estimate the export of trees earns Quebec operators more than 83,500,000 an- nually. Prices are expected to be about the sairie as last ycar in most sections although they are up 25 cents in Montreal.

N I Can See Track Of Storms 5 By BORIS Mtsiu-:w Canadian Press Staff Writer I MONTREAL (CPD - Airborne weather radar has been perfccted' to the point where pilots can tree" storms and locate and follow air paths having the least turbulence. The advances made in the last few years have been put on film and were shown recently in Mont- real to a group of newspaper men. electronics officials and representa- tives of air organizations. The radar-known as AVQ 10- was developed after years of ex- perimeniation and testing both in Canada and the United States. STANDARD EQUIPMENT Ed Morris, an excutive with RCA Victor Company. said the radar now is being installed as standard equipment by several United States and European airline companies. It enables pilots to see storms and identify troubled areas. It also measures the r" t ace and extent of storms and helps pilots aeti- rnata the magnitude of the storms. With the use of radar, passen- gers are given a more comfortable flight. Mt. Morris said. The radar reduces the strain and wearing ef- fectl on aircraft caused by turbu- lence and reduces flight cancella- tions.

"star" on acorn When a storm is within range. it appears on the scope as a ”blip" or patch of light and its position on the scope gives its distance and hearing from the aircraft. The brighter the "blip." the more se- vere the storm. However, black areas-the core; of a storm-appear within the "blip" when the signal return r it a certain intensity. Pilots can fly the non-turbulent paths be- tween the storm centres after po- sitionlng them. - The AVQ-10 can be used in ter- rain mapping.

Nearly half Canadals reindeer herds are be- ing afiected by a strange weak- ness, believed due to inadequate nutrition on their Arctic coast rangelands east of the Mackenzie river. It contributes to bone fractures- mainly of legs and back eand leaves them easy victims of wolves and other predators. And apparently it seriously impairs reproduction the reindeer which the government has been trying to foster for 20 years. The weakness was described in an announcement by the northern affairs rdepartment that the an- nual roundup of the domesticated animals starts this week on their features, including mountains. riv- ers, lakes. coastline.-i and even bridges. are clearly identified on the radar scope.

It said their numbers dropped to about 6,500 from more than 7.- 700 which were ounted last year. The reindeer are in five herds. Two of them are affected by the weakness. DIET DEFICIENT Tests of forage and specimens from the animals have shown a dietary shortage of needed min- erals. Last summer four tons of mineral supple '5 were ship- ped to the reindeer station in an effort to reduce losses in the hardest-hit herd. Next summer an intensive survey of the ranges will be made. The story of reindeer in Can- ada began in 1929 when herdsmen began bringing a,group of the animals from Alaska. The Alaskan reindeer came originally from Siberia. The trek to the Northwest Territories from Alaska took six years. A 18.700-square mile preserve was set aside for them. Reindeer produce milk. meat land leather.

The Roman Catholic Church councils of Quebec and of Balti- more originally patitioned for her beatification and canonization. The formal cause for her beatifi- cation was first introduced to the Vatican's Congregation of Rites on May 19. 1939. Four years later. Pope Pius XII, on Jan. 3, 1943. authorized publication of a decree proclaiming the Christian virtues of the Indian maid. REPORT MIRACLE Earlier this year. a member of the Congregation of Rites here said that evidence of a second miracle attributed to Tekakwitha's intervention had brought progress in the cause for her beatification. Evidence of miracles generally is I requisite for both beatification and canonization. Tekakwitha was 24 years old when she died. She had told Jes- uit miasiona in. she wanted to devote herself to religious life. In this she was opposed by an uncle who wished her to marry an In- dian chief. The girl fled through the forest to the village of St. Francis Xav- ier, which had been built by the Jesuits near Montreal. L'0sservatore said Etkakwitha appeared after her death to the missionaries. suggesting to thcin Iways of converting the Indians. of the economy of Lapland in northern Finland and the Cana- dian government hoped they might be as valuable hcre. Their numbers generally have been in- creasing. "We've had reverses before. but the reindeer have made coine- backs," one official said. referr- ing to the present problem. I25 IN aourvnur Out of this week's roundup by some 25 Eskimos 500 mature male reindeer and surplus females will be picked for slaughter --a reduction from last year. They will produce nearly 70,000 pounds of meat exclusively for native residents of the area. Most of the meat is disposed of through a trading company. mission schools and hospitals. Of the five herds, one is owned and managed by the government. Three others are under native management and one is owned outright by Eskimos. Trapping is allowed on the range. but killing of reindeer is forbidden to all but the harder: and their families. II. A gas- anus element D. Ab- tslnpt U. fuel .

A lender heart of pure gold. -Old Mother Nature. This is not true however of Blacky the Crow. His coat is black. It could hardly be blacker. lie is black all over. Some folks think he has a black heart. but this of course isn't true. However. he cannot be said to be tender- heai-ted. One who has to live as does Blacky the Crow. has very little room for tenderness. But Blacky is not as black as a lot of hunters and other folks would like you to believe. His heart may not be tender, but it is full of courage. It takes courage. and a lot of it. to live through a winter of snow and ice and bitter wind. Blacky does just that. How he gets enough to eat no one but Blacky himself knows. Of course Blacky, having two good stout wings. could have flown farther south where it was warmer as most of the other birds had done. But Blacky loves the Green Forest where he was born. and where year after year he has had his nest.'So he kept staying on and on. hoping each day would be warmer. and hoping he would not have to fly so far and so much to find enough to eat. Things were getting worse and worse. The days and nights were growing colder. It seemed as if there were more snow than usual. There had been one or two had ice storms. Still Blaclw couldnlt make up his mind to go south. Then one morning, Just at break of day. he heard a voice that filled him with something very like des- pair; It was a moat unpleasant voice. it was a hoarse croak.

"Just as if I'm not hav- ing hard enough work to get on- ough to eat." muttered Blacky. "Now it will be twice as hard.

A bird as big as Croakcr the Raven must have a lot of food to keep him warm, and to keep him active. So it is that Croal-ier long ago learned not to be fussy.
