D'- eryone wants to live in a better looking. more convenient and less costly community but unfortunately there seems to be little that the individual can do about it. The Community Planning Association, however, offers the individual citizen an opportunity of contributing to the improvement of the neighbourhood he lives in and to the build- ing up of communities to which he or his‘ children would be glad to move. Canadian towns and cities have grown‘ rapidly in recent years and can be expect- ing from Moscow and in the repeated meas- ures-—some of them contradictory—being taken to try to boost It is understandable that there should be overtones of urgency in the blasts com- production: The: clearing of new land. pleas to the peasants to grow more on their private plots (which not long ago the government wanted to take away from them), tax concessions, higher prices, the postponement of the plan for "agrotowns" which would have been super-collective farms. In the era of rel- ative sweetness and light that followed Stalin’: death, Malenkov promised an im- provement in the industrial worker's lot, with a “great upsurge" in food supplies by 1955 or 1956 at the latest. How much effect all this has on Rus- sia's foreign policy it is hard to determine. The belief of some observers. quoted by The Economist, that “just as Napoleon fear- ed nothing in the world save a hungry Paris. the Kremiin‘s only nightmare is one in which peasants are angry and townsmen are hungry” is probably an overstatement. But the fact that Russian national morale is keyed to what is happening on the farm, and that what is happening on the farm is not at present good, is bound to have some influence on the extent of the risks which Page!

If he shavcs only thor social exploration; but the gist of it. was that the Eskimos themselves are in imminent dan- ed to continue that development. Without planning the growth is haphazard, costly. inconvenient and ugly. Districts are built up only to find that the supplying of the ordinary urban services is far more ex- pensive a factor than there is any need for it to be. Children must stem heavy- traffic, to attend school. Playgrounds are non-ex-‘ istent.' Parking is an insoluble problem. Property values drop because of unforseen changes in the use of land in the neigh- bourhood. The purpose of the Community Planning Association is two-fold; to induce the pub- lic to take an intelligent interest in the need for planning: and to persuade governing bodies of the value of having trained per- sonnel and making practical plans for an- ticipated growth. It does not itself go in for the actual planning of communities but endeavours to encourage the formation and functioning of planning boards which Will have the necessary knowledge and author- ity. Student Pro]; In their efforts to put into practice the theories their professors teach, physics stu- dents have been known to do many strange things in college laboratories. Top prize for originality, however, must go to three teen-agers at Trinity College, Hartford, Conni, who have just completed the build- ing of a cyclotron, the machine used by scientists in smashing atoms. This is no miniature model or toy which resembles the real thing; in fact, it is somewhat larger than the machine which split the first atom during the latter part of the Second World War. The half-ton of iron used in the building of the magnet was donated and put in place by a machine com- pany: everything else was put together by the students themselves. The device whirls electrical particles at tremendous speeds and sends a high-speed stream of electrical bullets at the target atom. Unlike a lot of colleges where large- scale scientific experiments are being made‘. Trinity College is a place where religl0l-15 and _moral considerations are given equal status with scientific research. It is Safe‘ to assume, therefore, that these brilliant students who have brought the most po- tentially dangerous instrument in the long history of science to mechanical perfection are well aware that technological efficiency. is not the only gauge, nor even the chief one, of a nation’: strength: Soon flies’? young men will be taking important places in the industrial life of the Free World.

Uprooted from the soil and Tribute To integrity Of all the eulogies spoken on the career and character of the late Angus L. Mac- donald, none has revealed more of his soul's integrity, says the Ottawa Journal, than a story told by Mr. Leonard Brock- ington to the St. Patrick's College graduates’ in Ottawa. The story as told by Mr. Brock- ington, in his own words. follows: “His closest friend told me that when the Queen came to Canada as a Princess, it was arranged that she and her husband should visit the home of Mr. Macdonald, then Premier of Nova Scotia, to take tea with himself and a few friends. The road that led to his house was rough and un- paved as was the driveway within his mod- est grounds. It was decided that they should be paved. Mr. Macdonald called for tenders and accepted the lowest. One month before he died. he, a man whose public service had left him with the cleanest of hands, finished paying from his own al- most empty pocket the last instalment of the moneys due for that labor.” The Ottawa Journal's own comment on this revelation: “Sir John Willzson once said that the careers of men like John A. Macdonald and Wilfred Laurier shouted back triumphantly to the scoffers and cyn- lcs who charged that all politics are cor- rupt. Willison. were he with us today, would add to his litany the name of Angus Macdonald. And one might hope that this story of Angus Macdonald, as told by Mr. Brockington, could be pinned up in every schoolroom in this country." EDITORIAL NOTES Air Force Day. y Sunday.

Throughout Britain today thou- sands of people have pen and ink nut and are busy scribbling letters to the editor of the Times. or any other newspaper that publishes a column on correspondence from its readers. I C O The "letter-to-the-eclitor" habit has been an institution for many years. The correspondence column of the Times is undoubtedly the most famous of all. For nearly 180 years the humble and the great have been contributing to it. whenever they felt they had something they wanted to say. The first letter to the editor was published in The Time's in its sec- ond issue in 1785. It was from Billy Bumper, who expressed his. views on the drinking of toasts as "an easy and pleasant method of educating young men of fortune." A few years ago someone sign- ing himself "a Victorian" wrote to The Times to say: “To have a letter in your columns is felt tndbo the duty of the distinguish- e ." Certainly many of the great. names of history and literature have felt that.way about it. . . Charles Dickens. the author. wrote a fervent letter in 1849 a- gainst public executions. In 1925 Benito Mussolini wrote in The Times: "lt is not true that patriots are discontended,“ and "please note that Fascism counts 3.000.000 adherents.‘ Queen Victoria used the corros- pondence column for a personal message -— as near an apology as a Queen can go - to her people.

He had written more than 80.000 letters in editors when he died in 1938. More than 9.000 of them were published. mainly in the London News Chronicle. I-lis subjects ranged from his own moustache. which he sug- gested acted as a germ filter, to an agitation which resulted in the reprieve of a Swiss workman sen- tenced to death on a murder charge. Another of his letters was part- ly responsible for the now-existing ‘IPKISIBUOD which makes it illegal for children to be taken into pub- ;lic houses.
