The vacant farms are there. llrlv exycrt assistance is needed to bring 1.0m flack into cultivation, and this Could be pw-titletl jointly by our federal and provincial agricultural officials.

Money required for purchase and recondition- ing of vacant farms could be obtained, at very low interest rates, front the Dominion Govern- ment. Provincial Governments in other provin- ma have availed themselves of this opportunity, and in no section of Canada is there greater need for such initiative, or more likelihood of success attending upon well directed efforts, than in Prince Edward Island. Ive have on one hind the vacant farms, on the other the young people trained in agriculture but without the riteans of cstztblishiitg themselves. The success achieved by New Brunswick in meeting this problem in a graver form shotild stimulate effort here in establishing a long overdue policy of aggressive farm colonization.

The Marriage Guidance Guild of London, coitsistiitg of clergymeit, doctors, probation of- ficers, magistrates and social workers, held a debate the other evening iit (Queen .\lar_v I-Iall, and strove to account for “why ntarritigcs g0 wrong." The lcitittotif of most of the addresses was that the seeds of later marital disaster were sown in the ltoitte. llencc there should be se- vcrcr (liscipliitc in the ltoittcs of prospective brides and bridcgrrtonts and ittore of it. A Dr. Morris (iinsberg took attotlter attgle.

Democracy is in (laitger in Canada unless every voter comes to a realization of the present state of affairs in the I)oittiiii~"1 and takes ait intelli- gent interest iit the business of his country, Mr. R. \V, Diamond told the Czutadirin Institute of Rlitting and hlctatillttrgyi convention in Van- couver the other (lay. .\lr. Diamond proposed: t. 'l'ltat an easily understood report of the pub! ilc finances of Canada, its provinces and muni- cipalities, be prepared for wide-spread distribu- tion in the press and in pamphlet form to the electorate. 2. That local groups be formed in strategic centres through the Dominion to or- ganize and prosecute educational campaigns. These groups should be non-political. “It has been aptly said that the greatest challenge to democracy is lethargy and complacence," Mr. Diamond said. "Let us shake off this lethargy and complaicence, let us recognize Canada's busi- ness is our business. Let us once more place the ideal of an informed democracy in the high position which it deserves, and let us go forward as Canadians and put our house in order.” w a m iv -

It is claimed that improvements are being ef- fected in the mechanicism of auto commensurate with the development and capabilities of effici- ently trained auto drivers, and it is predicted that the time will come when the skill and coit- science of the properly trained chauffeur will almost match the accuracy of the up-to-date mo- tor engine. According to Mr_ \Villiam J. Cam- eron of the Ford Motor Company we are ap- proaching the edge of sttclt an era as far as the automobile is concerned. The safety campaign. with its hammcred-ltonte lessons of care and co- operation. has been a comparative success. A new generation, born and bred in our motorized civilization, is taking the wheels of our cars and it is not one which thinks it smart to be reckless. A safety technique has been developed which is recognized not only as a public but as a private responsibility.

The British Museum of Natural History recently received the first specimen it has sheltered of a peacock-like bird, Afropavo congensls. whose habitat is the dense forests of the Eastern Congo. ‘It was a strangeet" to the authorit- ies at the museum, and its identi- fication, as reported by the Lon- don Times, furnishes an interest.- ntg example of bhe co-uperatlon that marks scientific advances.
