The prosperity of a province and the city and towns is interdependent. If we have a depopulated rural province the city and towns will not survive vegy much longer. Hence it is the part of wisdom for municipalities like Ken- sington to be up and doing both to keep the population it has and to provide for others as need occurs.

It is a disaster, as we are finding out to our cost, to legislate in advance of moral senti- ment, though it is equally fatal to fall behind it. What are we doing to equalize matters iii this respect? Merely waiting for something, or somebody, to turn up to show us the error of our ways.

The Labour Government's troubles in Ene- land are not to seek, according to the Monlreal Gazelle. The people of Britain are "short of food and poverty stricken," a Canadian woman who arrived in Montreal on the 5.5. Bayano, told an interviewer. Resentment is growing, she said, at the quantities of food and clothing being shipped to Europe via and from the

United Kingdom. This resentment, she d0- clared, was the cause of recent wildcat strikes and slowdowns among British transport and dock workers that caused authorities to ru- roiite ships from London to other ports to prevent cargoes spoiling. "Paris is gay, bright and its people are well-fed and clothed," the passengers claimed, "but London looks broken and destitute, its citizens are shabby and short of food.

Some details of ship repairing on the northeast coast of Britain dur- ing the war have recently been given. During the period of the European war, northeast coast ship repairers had dealt with 17,540 mer- chant ships and repaired 11,380 naval vessels ranging from small

the battleships King George V and Anson, as well as aircraft car- riers, cruisers, destroyers, down to landing craft.

In the past few years, with high- er prices being paid for furs, the trapping industry has, come to new life, and it is probable that a carefully worked-out system will be needed, in Algoma as elsewhere, to avold a certain amount of eon- fuslon, and to make the Industry more enticing, to the trap rs. It has often been suggested t at men in pursuit of fortune lri the wild game trade should be allocated areas, and this system is partial- ly ln operation ln the trapping seasons of the present. There is sound logic in such a proposal. There ls very little object ln tvro trappers being issued a licence. then moving into the bush to trap over exactly the same area. is bad for the bush, for the inter- lacing trap llnes are 1n danger of doing too complete a job. Iii ad- dition, only half the catch will go to each of the trappers, where- as lf both were allotted a separate area their lots would be lridtvl- dually larger. Fur tvapping nas become big business agriln tn this area and ln others of Northern Ontario. The Department of Game and Fisheries should make every effort to see that those who oar- tlclpate in this business have every opportunity to maize it: worth their efforts. It should be a splendid source of revenue for the trap- pers, the province, and the peop e gencrallyn-Sault Ste. Marie Star.

The level spreads of 11 British alrfields-the first in the country to be released by the Air Ministry -will soon be covered with Kentlsh vrlld clover once more, says The Ottawa Citizen. But the farms they were made from will never be the same again. The farmers have agreed to make the most of this opportunity to straighten out an- cient. difficulties and improve liv- lng conditions. The awkward corners that have caused property arguments from time immemortal are being reshaped. All-electric farms and farm buildings are be- ing planned. The cottages to be built for farm workers will be among the best in the world. These farm lands were requisition- ed last year when the RAF. need- ed extra auxiliary alrflelds for the invasion. Now t-he new boundary lines are being marked out by RAF surveyors. Near Ashford, in Kent, bulldozers are at, work pushing 330k over the bare clay the great, mounds of fertile top soil which was remov- ed to level the land. There are some areas to which the top soil cannot be returned, and where the clay itself must», be cultivated. Here the ground is being disc plowed to a depth of four inches by specially weighted disc narrows drawn by powerful tractors. The root sys- tem of the grasses and the animals which will graze the new pastures will gradually put back humus into the land, These are temporary alr- fields built for D-Day and there- fore not coricreted. The real prob- lem ls the reconverslon of the vast system of concrete atrflelda built for the R.A.F., the R.C.A.F. and the U.S.A.A F. which, if stretched end to end, would make a 30-foot road from Moscow to Chicago.

Canada's eon! production record ed in April a fair-sized expansion over the like month of 1944. a total of 1,316,129 tons being 6.4 per cent ln excess of the 1,236,000 tons mined a year ago. according to the monthly report issued by the Do- mlnlon Bureau of Statistics. For the first, four months of the year production at 5.977.099 tons was ep- proxlmately 2 per cent above last year's 5,863,268 tons. Alberto led the Dominion with an output of 591.880 tons. which compared with 496.681 tons a year ago an expan- sion of i9 per cent whlle the pro- vince's output for the first four months at 2.734.655 tons was well above the 2.385.174 tons produced 1n the first four months of 1944.
