A Private Enterprise What is a group of citizens to do when government. refuses to build a mud uliirli they had requested? There are too obvious courses of action.

It seems that for some time these IIwn' hate been trying to persuade the Provincial Government to build some sort of road to Uranium City, the scene of great mining activity, an that they could do business in the area during the winter months when. We regular waterway through rivers and lakes to Edmonton, Alberta. is aimed. The Government, not regard- ing the proposal as economically aounri, would have nothing to do with it; so the men have set out to build it themselves. It is quite an undertaking, even for courageous men. It will cover I distance of near- U 500 miles, much of it hilly and rocky terrain. But the bulldozers are already at work and it is hoped to have a passable truck trail ready for use by the beginning of ncxt year. 60 trucks will be put Into aewiec and snowplow and mainten- ance crews will be on hand through- out the season. The idea is to haul food and other commodities to the mining centre and bring back frozen Hsh which are taken from the lakes h the region. The goal for the first

year, according to I report from headquarters of the company, II 300,000 tons of outgoing Iargo and I million pounds of fish on return journcys.

The sponsors hope by this means to bring Saskatchewan I share of he business which hitherto has been going mainly to Alberta concerns. They hope, too, that if the plan shows signs of success the Provin- alsl Government will see the wisdom of making the road into I year round highway and perhaps reim- burse them for their investment which will amount to quit: I tidy sum before the road is completed. They certainly deserve as much. In these days private enterprise of this nature is so rare that when it does make an appearance it is entitled to some sort of reward.

Scapa. Flow Base

Nailuaal Geographic Society

Britain is closing her big naval base at Scspa Flow. I sea haven important strategically since the ninth century.

Famed as the home of the Brit iah fleet in two world wars. Scapa Flow is I rosdslead between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. It holds some 100 square miles of anchorage--enough to shel- ter all the navies of the world.

It lies in the midst of lhc Ork- ney Islands. hils of land that re- aemblo I giant's jigsaw puzzle scattered in the sea nnrth of Scotland.

BABE FOR NORSEMEN

In the ninth and tenth centuries iha Noraemen came across the North Sea from Scandinavia and based themselves in the Orkneys. from which they were able to ovarrun much of Scotland. Ire- land and England.

At the start of Wm-id War 1.

the British Admiralty chose Sca- i

pa Flaw Is the main base for its home fleet. Naval facilitlu were installed. and the fleet was based there through the Battle of Jut- land. in which the German fleet was chased back under the pro- tection of the shore defenses in the Helgoland tBight.

Five times during that war (for man Iubmarlnsa tried to pen- trate the defenses of scapa Flow. Five times they failed.

At the and of the war. American sailors stationed at Kirkwal. near Scspa, were charged with the hazardous duty of sweeping up 70.000 Allied mines strung Icroiux the North Sea between the Ork- ney: and Norway.

They were there in 1919 when the German fleet of 74 men o'- war. interned in Scapa Flow, was scuttled by its crews. Latter, the British salvaged some of those vessels.

In October, wall, when Britain was again at war with Germany. the defenses of Scapa Flow were pierced. A German submarine. O with the help of I spy who had lived 16 years beside the harbor for the one purpose, crept in by night. It: torpedoes sank HMS Royal Oak as she lay at anchor. One of the largest dreatlnaughls nf her time. the Royal Oak had takcn part in the Battle of Jut- land.

SCAPA ABANDONED. STRENG- TIIENED

After the destruction -of the Royal Oak. with the loss of 333 men, the base was abandoned by the fleet until the entrance used by the raider had been plugged with inter-island causawaya of ca- ment and alone. Now, except for an oil depot, the base is to be abandoned again, this time for economy.

The Orkneyl. which clone in Scapa Flow from the us. are low- lying islands. totaling 873 square miles of land in 07 plsceI--exclud- lng rocky islets. Scoured by brine- ladcn winds from the Atlantic to the weal, the Orkncys are inhospi- table to trees or shrubs. except in places sheltered by walls or buildings. The sturdy islanders. however. have made their home one of the richest agricultural countries in Britain. Eggs are the chief crop. Fishing. formerly I main occupation of the islanders. has declined in importance

Sh-;. Much has been written and spoken recently about 'PllbUC school matters. This exhibit: I haalthy interest in an important subject: the education of our fut- ure citizens.

some criticism has been aimed at the lack of suitable educational sq l t possessed by I percent- age of primary grads t ” 3. This criticism as been singular- ly silent as to the great success in former year: of thisissme class and kind of teachers. May I cite I few names of men, former pu- pill of these teachers. whose roe- nrda and achievements would seem to belie the criticism.

Jacob Gould Schurman, among the noted philoso hers of modern times; Franklin lgnlght Linc, soc- rctary of the Interior of the U.S. Government; Cyrus Chlng. Indust- rial Arbitrator at Washington. who could and can give tha Biblical Job some pointers on patience; Lucy Maud Montgomery (Mrs. MacDonald) the writer: Rev. Mon- ta MacLeod. Eldon: Ilia Eminence James Cardinal McGulgIa: the numerous Island-born clergyman of all denominations spread over all the world the Island judiciary, lawyers. doctors and others who run this Island kingdom, the bugs number of unnamed Islanders un- known to fame. .

I am willing to bet dollar: to doughnuts that few. if any. of the primary teachers of thou disting- uished men and others were col- lege graduates or even formal graduates of high Ichonl.

We seem to forget that letters after I teacher's name do not nec- esxarily make him A good teacher. A teacher may be so completely informed as to I given 5 bf t that it might be difficult for him to impart the information. In other wnrds ha might be talking over the heads of his pupils. Some like the sound of words for the sound itself; like the colored lady who criticized Abe Lincoln: "Mr. Lincoln am no orator. I understood everything he said."

Allow me to imitate Barney Shaw by quoting myself. In In essay on the high subject "Her Majesty. The Queen" published two years ago I wrote: "The hum- an Individual: he can learn, but
