Csheep flocks in Australia are gradual- ly recovering from the low level of 1947, when only 95,772,000 were pastured. The latest figure is 111,581,000. High wool prices are naturally encouraging the ex- pansion of sheep breeding.

izens must be prepared to act cooly and rationally in the event of developments which the experts had advised were high- ly improbable.

Exact plans can only be made for a rel- atively few contingencies, but if each in- dividual is prepared to play his part, come what may, there is no conceivable hostile action which can seriously affect our ca- pacity to share in the national effort for more than a very short period.

Herring may provide a major fisheries industry for the Island during the late autumn and winter season according to a report presented to the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The Board's research vessel "I-Iarengus" (the Latin name of the

Australia's Wool loom

Australian woolgrowers are described as "riding on the backs of their sheep into a prosperity that leaves many of them breathless." It is not only unrivalled in Australia; it probably has no counterpart in any other comparable area in the world. Receipts for wool sold in Australia in the first five months of the current season to November totalled (Australian) i228,533,- 000 (t537,052,000 Canadian), compared with f97,085,000 (t228,149,000) in the cor- responding period of the 1949-50 season- an increase of 136 per cent.

The proceeds of this wool clip to date exceed those of any other full season, ex- cept 1949-50, for which receipts aggregated i285,000,000 (SS668,750,000). The average price per pound this year, about 551.22 is more than double the 51-cent average of last season.

This soaring of wool prices to undream- ed of levels has created difficult economic problems for a country already in the grip of a serious inflation. The immense in- crease in export income produced by the high price of wool accelerates the infla- tionary process which is burdening the whole community.

Before the wool season opened the Commonwealth Government had decided to impose onlwool-growers a levy of 7 1-2 per cent of gross income to provide a price stabilization plan for the industry, similar to that applied to wheat growing. When the season's market opened so strongly the

flationary effect of rising wool prices, so in his'Budget the Treasurer, Mr. A. W. Fadden, announcedlthat to drain off some of theuexcess purchasing power created by these prices, woolgrowers would be requir- ed to pay the Commissioner of Taxes one fifth of the proceeds of their wool this year as it was sold and would be credited with these amounts as prepayments of taxation. The Treasurer then estimated-

BAPTISM A! LA JOKE

on July it, 1172. the modest little church of St. John the Evangelist at Port la Jule wit- nessed a baptism of more than usual interest, the record of which still survives. The English trans- lation reads as follows:

”On the 14th day of July was baptized Peter Francis de Paul, born at 3 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, son of Louis Denis de la Ronda, Esquire, Knight of the Military order of St. Louis, Lieu- tenant of the King in St. John's Island and of Madame houis Chartier de Lotbiniere. The god- father was M. Robert David Got- teville do Belle-Isle, Knight of St. Louis and Governor of St. John's Island, etc. The godmother was Lady Louise de Kervin, Maid of Honour to the Most Excelle i Princess I-fer Royal Highness the Duchess of Orleans, and wife of His Excellency Count st. Pierre. First Knight of Her Royal High- ness the ssid Duchess of cl:lea.ns. Grand Master of her household and proprietor of the said Island of st. John. Witnesses, Louis Denis

Lord of Demar, member of the General Council of Quebec, and Director General of the said Is- land, who have hereunto sub- scribed their names according to the established rule."

The above record containln, so many illustrious names would seem to indicate an advanced state of social refinement in St. John's Island. It might lead the casual reader to the opinion, that even in those remote days, the Colony could boast of titled gen- try among lts inhabitants. But what would such people be doing in this wild rude country? Wlay should persons of rank and nob - lty exchanse the luxuries of ifarisisn society for the wants and privations of colonial life? . .. We venture the opinion that Lady Louise, wife of Count St. Pierre. and perhaps others whose distinguished names grace the re. cords of Port la Joie never saw
