Atlantic it-ound Trip In A Day T7115 Strongest Memory is Weaker lllon Although she did not break her own cast-west Atlantic crossing recorq establisll- ed last year a British Canberra bomber has accomplished a far nlore significant thing. Crossing the Atlantic in both direc- tions ill a single day, with plenty of time to spare, gives altogether a different aspect to distance and locality. People have been saying for many years that the world is growing smaller and the 0i)S”:l'V;lll0ll is none the less true for repetition. When it takes sonlc four hours to cross the Atlantic, the Atlantic for practical purposes is no more of a bar- rier thall was a fifty-mile journ.ey in the days before steam, or a ten-mile journey before the construction of good roads. Whether we like it or not the distances between continents and countries has van- ished'and we are today living as llext.-door- neighbours to all the peoples of the earth. In the phrase of the late President Roose- velt it has beconle all-important that we be a ligand neighl)otu'." Agricultural Research The United Nations Food culture Organization reports that agricul- tural research ill the United States in the past: 30 years added at least 5S2,000,000,00t) ll year to farm income. Yet the total amount spent on research by state alld fed- eral departnlcnts of agriculture during the last 30 years is only about tll1.000,000,000. No comparable Canadian figures are avail- able, says the Ottawa Citizen: but the dividends from Canadian agricultural re- search probably arc equally high in rela- tion to the provincial and federal govern- ment funds expended. Teamwork between scientists hastens the time when the ben- efits of their work in every country are available to agriculture. Acknowledging this fact. FAO has cal- led a meeting for September in Rome to, discuss the establishment of facilities for exchanging agricultural research informa- tion in Europe. Traditionally, the 20 Eur- opean members of the U. N. agency work independently to improve their agriculture through scientific research. An FAQ sys- tem for rccordillg information on agricul- tural research projects will allow these scientists to learn of related work in other countries. As American and Canadian scientists have profited from an exchange of information between state. provincial anti federal rcs:'arch institutions. so European research will benefit from tllc internation- al teamwork that FAO is pronloting.

In the ni-1-collditioned television studio. there can be no rude interruptions from the unseen crowd; still. the campaign trains --or planes, in some cases-are being made ready again. as they have been in many .2. national election year. and as they will be in many more. It is recalled that Franklin D. Roosevelt liked to mix with people in this way-and some thought this was his most successful way of sensing currents of pop- ular thought! Then there is the fact of local and sectional pride of place. People like not only to hear and see a national candidate but to see him sometimes on their home grounds. Not to visit a region is sometimes regarded as snubbing it. President, Truman's astonishing victory i In ;948 is viewed by nearly all political ob- server: as closely related to his famous "whistle-stop" tours, where he was often almost elbow to elbow with the public.

IJET US HONOUR THE FLAG Sir. - After the first World War a friend told me this story: ”Onc dark. chilly night I was alone on duty in the trench. walking back and forth. I was pretty lonely. At. one turn I went a little farther and there, sticking in the bank, was a little Union Jack. It gave me such a lift. of inspiration that 1 shall never forget. That night. the whole might. of the zsrltlsh Empire was with me." Who can lmcasure the! inspiration the Union Jack hasy given to men in n crisis? it has. turned mere men into heroes. it has given one the strength of ten. It has saved life. I remember that story of the man, condemned un- justly to die. when 9. British am- bassador rodc up and wrapped tile. flag about the man before the 'llr- lng squad. It is a notable fact that ill every corner of our colonies the Britishl flag has stood as the symbol of tol- eration and fair play. For example,: the East Indian lnlmlgrants wercl often falling into trouble with that police. but they always had theh Protector of Immigrants to plead their cause, ll. man appointed by the Indian Government. with the co-operation of the Trinidad. There the poorest East Indian got'l.ne same justice in court as the man, wlthlmoney and a white skin. U21-1' der the British flag court favoursl 1cannot. be purchased.

A new type of trombone has been devised which slides sideways to the rlghmlnstead of up and down.

O I This Province has experienced what may ';turn out to be another record year for lthe tourist industry. There were more tourists here than ever before and it is be- lieved that when all reports are in, the money spent will also reach a record high. Chester, N.

Res- idents are concerned at the proposed sale of their two largest hotels which once catered to throngs of tourists each year. 0 The original source of a blunder famous amongst newspapermen was revealed by Mrs. Esther Crane on the BBC. Speaking of her experiences on her husband's paper, "The Japan Advertiser", she recalled: "We had Japanese printers who knew no English and our misprints have travelled round the world.
