THE CANADIAN SCENE : For the past weeks we have been re looking out over country side-that has _perhaps, no equal anywhere, Brown- ing the. English poet wrote a poem about England in the spring... but what a scope theré is for the Cana- dian poet or artist in our autumn pan- orama, There is an indescribable joy in the riot of colours that dances across ~~ our "hills and-valleys.;<--But. 'there is more than joy, there is a symphony of beauty that casts a magic spell throughout the land Which touches the very roots of our emotional life, . . , and in such moments we are glad that God has made us part of it. . . DEVALUATION Devaluation has evidently only ser- ved to increase the already complex economic status in which we find our- "selves. That it will' bring major changes in the very near future we do'not doubt. Great Britain has found it necessary. to revise heiWentire econ- omy because 'of it and it is highly likely that we, too," will have to make significant changes, Apparently we must buy much more of her many products if we are: to «maintain our food exports to the United Kingdom, This, of course, means reducing aur imports of Ameri- can products a very difficult thing to do." Furthermore, it appears that - we must do- some refinancing ourselves, The government is taking . great steps to gét Canadians to ©in- vest in government bonds... this of . course will tend to reduce-our consum- ption of goods . . . . and- apparently it is intended as an indirect inflation- ary control. However, our expendi- tures . . . interest' on the National debt. and defense expenditures 'have soared to unprecedented levels and so far the government has shown no ten- dency - to" deal with these. Shortly, we must face the problem. of peace _~time budgeting and this will certainly PERCE 8 Watch your Label; it tells when your subscription I $2.00 per year in advance. Be.

THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Lord John Boyd Orr has just 'won the Nobel Peace prize. = His vision was global in its outlook and has set a standard from which: we can ill af- ford to fall. Our world to-day is one world. or no world. Food is- a basic necessity of that world. It is a com- mon denominator for man. All 'men black, white, brown, or yellow require food. It is something we ¢an hold in mutual respect. "It is a human need, not a Canadian néed, a German need, or a Chinese need individually. 2 Because of its supreme importance in our lives-it may be that the hard starting off place for a firmer basis of lasting peace than the world has ever known. An organization under the United nations that has for its working thesis' the idea of attacking world - problems of distributing and consexving food, of increasing agri- cultural productivity and defeating world hunger is bound by its very nature to benefit Farmer and consum-'| |, - er alike. We need this bond between : these two factions of society. .. Tomatoes dumped on the Canadian. market at a time when we ourselves could well supply our own need is a typical example of a problem that' could be overcome if problems of food distribution in the world were to be handled scientifically. If this ~---- work proceeds to practical conclusions' melons and milk, cabbages or apples | need never be dumped on garbagei== heaps again when prices are too low |- for farmer profit. . What is more, hungry people who need those very eh products will be able to get them by : - , .meéans of planned distribution.

SCOUTING NEWS Word has been received from the .dealers-that waste paper will again be in demand. This is good news to the local Scouts as they were told no more salvage would be accepted.
