If it had not be rdtebombed the replannng woi; istress have been more difficult becau Senior more wouid have had to be pull Eng down. The aims in the piannil 9ee- of our city are to thin out î )f Ply- overcrowded areas, to make w: 'or its er roads, to have more parks ai war, open spacèes .for the children rgirls play in, to have the shops eh i- one part, the houses in anoth( eaders the factories to themselves ai eff ect. the schools in safe areas not ha, them ail mixed up together.

Fortur S ateiy, not many houses of histori Plymouth have been bombe( S When ail the area has been r( paired and rebuilt, there is goir to be a waii buiit round the whol district, so that it will be separai ed from the rest of Plymouth. Hiý toric Plymouth will be of grea interest to visitors. The Fisl Market wîll be removed to anoti er quay, so that there wiil be roor for the development of shops. The New Plymouth wîll inciud many areas in the surroundini region. Forty thousand peopiý will have to go from Devonport t( the outlying districts such as Sa] tash, Torpoint, Wembury, Bere Ferrers and Portwinkle. Th( Dockyard is going tà be extend. ed through Fore Street to th( park. The Admiraity is going t( take over about two hundred anc twenty acres of land near thE waterside. Zoning is part of thE Plymouth Plan, but they will vis- it the egion round Plymouth. Ne houses wiil be built on good agri- cultural land. When the outlying districts are developed there will have to be sorne kind of commun- ication with the city centre. Wid. er roads with two-way tracks will be built for mechanicai transport; there will also be pedestrian roads constructed to prevent accidents. For the cyclists there will be cy- cle tracks made so that they can go along without the fear of be- ing knocked down. Footpaths will also be cleared or made in the beautiful surroundmngs of the city. There is to be a bridge built over the River Tavy so that the fruit and vegetables of the Bere AI- ston area can reach Plymouth City much more easily. A bridge too, is to be built over the River Ta- mar, so that communications be- tween Devon and Cornwall wiil be much quicker and easier. When -.the new plan for Plymouth begins -to be put into effect there will be a park systern to be developed, more open spaces and recreation grounds for children to play in and the public to enjoy. If there are more parks, that will keep the children off the streets. Each cornrunity will have its centre with its own church, library, swimrning baths, cinernas and a school. We say that no school shahl be built so that the children will have to cross a traffic road. The centre of Plymouth is going to be constructed on modemn unes. From North Road Station to the Hoe there is going to be a straight, long, wxde road with trees on ei- ther side. A hotelwill.be buil ASUCCESSFUL school day st pleasant surroundings.

Food production hias soared. Canadians have eaten well in spite of war. Today, the seriousness of the world's food situation calis for even greater efforts. We can iqcrease our food ship- ments and st'ill have enough for our needs.

B ANKING IN ACTION is manifested in the crash of falling trees; in the rush of logs, as the lumberjacks break the jam and speed the timber on its way; in the scream of saws, as busy mils convert it into planks, beams and scantlings. Logging and lumbering provide work and wages for thousands-in the woods, the mills, the construction industry. The stream of wealth thus flowing across Canada is an example of Banking in Action.
