Bruce Hutchinson having informed
“the world in general and the United
States in particular what he thinks
his fellow Canadians think is wrong
with the offspring of Uncle Samuel
and his writer frient Senator Neuber
ber, having obligingly reciprocated bY
blaring forth what he thinks iis felt
low countrymen think is wrong with
the woe-begotton sons of Johnny
Canuck; we fervently hope each party
is well satisfied with the emoluments
accruing from this smoothly stageii
two-way effort. ,

We hope still more fervently they
will now leave us alone to wrestle
with the probems aitendant” upon’
making ends meet in our respective
bailiwiiks. In our spare time, if any,
we might do worse than count a few
of our many blessings and consider
how best we can develop and utilize
them. Not that we wish the dear Sen-
ator to think we under estimate his
concern over our future.

Despite our inferiority complex we

Inow ful) well we are living in one of
the most richly endowed countries in
the world. We fully realize the avail-
able resources in his own country are
vapidly nearing the vanishing point so
ihat it is only human he should now
view our domain with much the same
feeling as Ahab entertained for Na-
both’s Vineyard. His Wife. too. has
even volunteered to render him a little
assistanee, but quite evidently, she is
not in the same class as old Jezebel.

Now. if they can convince us we are
50 afflicted with that inferiority com-
\slex and cause us to believe we are so
nearly a part of their country as to be

fedndily taken for the puny half of a

set of, Siamese twins; quite incapable
of malting a move in this cruel world
without stringing along with the
stronger. (member; then the acquisi-
tion of oftr wonderful vineyard be-

ing the wooing Senator{ that we are
doing quite well, thank you. Having
now reached the stature of tuationhood
we are just hiting our stride\and boy,

mirably. just to pe considered good
neighbors and valuable customers,
We appreciate the potential market
available to us in a land of one huni
dred and fifty million people, but some
of us -vould like it much better if so
much of the traffic were nol one way.
Somecay we hope our own states*
men and politicians will take a leaf
from the manual of Neuberger and
Hutchinson on “smooth reciprocal ar
rrangements.”
Shoulc the time arrive for consum-
mating a closer union betw
Sam a.d John Canuck it is quite prov’
able we shall be in excellent shspe to’
make room for Sam ‘and his fllock
within the framework of “our” con!
stitution. Until then — well — we hope’
the Senator is following the Roya’
Tour. It should prove enlightening ag,
io our deeper feelings. In conclusion,
we would like him to tell nis wifé
hat if our ladies are rump sprung-and
frowsy we just haven't noticed it. We

have noticed how they like to cave for}

the brac-a-brae his wife deem is so
foolish for us to have around the
house. Anyway, we love ’em just the
way they are, so tell her not tu worry |
about us. We are no Ahabs when if

Being cognizant of all the error= com:
mifted by succeeding generations of
his fellow countrymen we hope to

McDonald, well cast as the villain,
pulled all the questionable tricks he
knew and some he invented for the
occasion, earning the boos of the fans.
Billy kept his opponent in trouble
with his noted headlock and this
match was also a split decision.

The four-man team- match , with
Kohnke and Valentine against Mc-
Donald and Zimba, grew in number
before the ‘fight got underway as one
of the fans, full of bottled courage
and with a yen to be a wrestler, stag-
gered up to the ring and managed t
crawl through the ropes. Once in the
ring he: picked -out. Valentine as a
likely looking opponent and started to
do battle. Taken by surprise, Valen
tine just stood in his corner and be-
fore he took steps to get out of hi
own predicament, McDonald came
over and picking up the exhuberant
fan, gently lowered him over the
ropes.

‘The scheduled match finally got un-
derwzay and proved a crowd pleaser
to the Gtsciding fall. This came when
McDonald got a ft Nelson on Kohnke
and forced him over™to the corner
where his partner Zimba Stteod ready
to unleash the blow that would drop}
Billy to the mat. The tricky localite
ducked though, and McDonald took
Zimba’s offering and landed fiat, with
Kohnke completing gthe picture by

Open Up 2,850 Acres
Of Land In Province

When land ¢leariug operations un-
ler the Agricultural Department's
and clearing scheme is completed this
year it is estimated that 2850 acres
of new land will have been opened
up for agricultural purposes, it wa
announced by the Honourahe H.R.
Bowman, minister of agriculture.

Since the inception of the scheme
in 1946, a total of 27,850 acres of land
nave been cleared for farmers, thus
increasing the agricultural produc
livity of the province. Further assist-
ance has been given to the farmers
in the matter of breaking up land.
Many farmers, themselves. undertook
shis task but in many instances the
farmers have availed themselves of
the extensive services provided by the
land clearing scheme.

Whea this year’s program is com
pleted some 200 acres of the 2,850
eres cleared will have been sroken
by tractor-operated plows. This will
bring tac total, since the inception of
the scheme, to 1,200 acres of land
broken for the farmer at a low cost
figure.

In its 33 centuries, the city of Jeru-
salem has endured more than 20 seiges
and blockades.

CHEER UP — IT COSTS MORE
TO LIVE IN FRANCE

Canadians eyeing the price indices
in Canada with’ mounting trepidation
may derive some measure of comfort
from a recent study of retail prices
in the Western World which showed
Canadian prices among the most stable
in the world. The Frenchman has no
such reassurance, for only Iceland has
experienced greater inflation than,
France since the outbreak of uostili-
ties in Korea. During the perivd June,
1950, to Apri, 1951, retail prices in
France rose 20 per cent, compared
with 9 percent in Canada, the United
Kingdom and the Unitea Sta
