They have come here to study our farming methods and to see our farms. They hope to learn a great deal about all the various types of farming carried on" through our vast land, Their trip to Can- ada follows an extensive tour of the Unit- ed States. The tour in this country got off 10. 4. Mr. 8. J. Chagnon, chief fed- bad start, eral conducting officer apparently misun- derstood the purpose of their visit. He had arranged a 200 mile trip of the Eastern Townships as a gala' tour of one social reception after another, each accompanied by the' ubiquitous drinks. = Finally, the leader of the Russian delegation became exasperated and explained to Mr. Chagnon that his party was not interested in civic functions and whiskey but in farming and farm methods. Mr. Chagnon was properly rebuked, Im- Back To School' Time rolls on and the summer holidays draw to a swift close, Soon the school bells throughout the country will'be ring- ing out-an official welcome for tions : of school children. . They will come flocking from all four corners and:in-all:shapes and sizes. Most of them will let it be known that they are: not too happy about this business of re- turning to-scheol; Hewever, parents will do well not to take too seriously their ap- parent reluctance to return to the class- room. In-most cases such. reluctance is only skin deep. = Underneath there is a pleasurable anticipation. about returning to school. It may be mixed up with a few fears about the new teacher, as yet an unknown: factor; a certain distaste for work which" pupils know is an inevitable part of the program; and a' certain shy- ness about meeting a new crowd of pupils. But there is a novelty-about the first few days back at school that kids find most alluring ; there is a pleasurable risk in tak- ing i measure of the new teacher; work, mediate chiinges were made and the dele- gation and the group began to find out what they wanted to learn. Thpy, studied precipitation tables, systems of frrigation, how they were built and who built them," . hybrid corn crown, types of farm machin- ery used on the local farms, crop rotation systems employed, pastures, and co-opera- tives. They visited the huge apple-stor- age plant at Frelighsburg and Canada's. largest butter co-operative at Granby. They also asked to see how a typical I'rench-speaking farmer lived, and, though this had not been provided for in the tour, arrangements were made for such a visit. The French-Canadian farmer was quite impressed by their interest 'and enthu- siasm and exclaimed, "They're a good bunch. " It is most witortiviate that the tour got off to such a bad start. "It indicates that perhaps we have carried this business of social and governmental drinking too far. The Russians seem to think so. * after all means something to do--towards the end of summer most kids begin to run out of things to do and they hate boredom more than work; and then there is the fun of boasting to the old gang about-all the things; wonderful things you did dur- ing the summer. £] ~ Allin all school isn't so bad. It.-could be worse. Comforted by such compensat- ing thoughts they start out from home on that first morning, slowly with somewhat "the air of an injured member of society. But you should see them by the time they "reach the school-yard! Expectant, eager, excited and noisy. All ready for the adventure.

In. Canada come, says. the current issue of the Commercial Letter published by the Canadian Bank of Commerce, that the country's economy is once more mov- ing forward, and that the momentum is increasing, There now seems little doubt that the forecast of a gross na- tional product of $26% billion in 1955 made in the budget speech laat:April will be achieved. " The advance, although broadening, is still, however, uneven... There: are important areas, particularly of se- condary industry and export trade, that have not yet felt the stimulating influence of the vigorous recovery in other lines of activity. Also, uncertainty lies ahead in the shape of the outlook for crops, labor unrest in large and important seg- ments of industryjand U.S. decisions in regard to marketing abroad its farm surpluses, particularly of wheat, The upswing in business activity In' the United States in the past few months has been quite remarkable and should favor Canada's trade in that direction.

It is estimated -that by March 31 of next year, three mil-, lion of Canada's. 5,225,000 children under 16 will have been inoculated. Up to the end of July only one polio victim, a ten-year-old boy at Leaming- ton, Ontario, had been reported among the 880,000 inoculated. This is in sharp contrast to the record in the United States, where outbreaks of polio among inoculated children reach- ed such a figure that searching in- vestigations had to be made into the methods of production- of the Salk vaccine by private companies, and its production 'by at least one company was halted. Here in Canada there has never been the slightest doubt a- bout the purity and quality of the vaccine produced, This 'is because of the scrupulous care taken by the health authorities in this country. in controlling produc- tion of vaccine for use in Canada. The' only manufacturer is the Connaught Medical 'Research: Laboratory. in Tor-: onto. Every batch prdouced was sub. jected to two rigid 'tests--one at the Connaught Laboratory in Toronto, 'and another at the federal laboratory in Ottawa. On top of that, the fed- eral and _provineial departments of health made specific plans for the use and distribution of the vaccine to en- sare its maximum- effectiveness, Tt was this strict supervision which made the Canadian results so much, more impressive than those in the United States where most of the vaccine was produced 'by private firms, . Most of thd increase is accounted for by reappralsals departments and in the manufacturing sector -- largely paper products and non-ferrous metal ~ products. In addition, employment, industrial production, the construction industry, the national accounts, consumer credit, . foreign merchanidse trade, balance of payments and foreign exchange ré- serves, and the agricultural outlook, are all touched on in this issue of the Letter. ~--8t. Catharines Standard, --Canadian Standard, It cannot yet be said of course that the Salk vaceine will prevent polio - outbreaks. in its use is necessary before its full | usefulness can be ascertained. But the experiénce of Canada this year is to give hope that while it may proye a blessing by cutting down substan tially the number of victims, and en suring when attacks do occur, they will be much milder, and have léss disastrous effects than they did be- fore the Salk vaccine was available, Much longer experience | BAN 'AGAINST NEWSPAPERS IS THREAT TO DEMOCRACY Premier Manning of- Alberta is leading in the wrong diréétion in bar- ring: Alberta's two largest newspapers. the Edmonton Journal and the Cal- gary Herald from attending his press "conferences. This high-handed atti- tude, adopted because these two news- papers had opposed his Social Credit party strongly in the June general election,. is a direct challenge to the freedom of the press, and a' threat to democracy in the Province of Alberta. Strong denunciation of Premier Manning's action came in a speech in 'the Alberta Legislature by J.C. Kir- by, Progressive Conservative member. The Premier's action said Mr. Kirby, "is an insidious but none the less od- orous attempt to stifle free discussion of public affairs and of government personalities and policies. It indicates a state of mind which is foreign to true democracy, a state of mind which cannot tolerate criticism, ridicule or seorn." This rebuke to Alberta's premier for his ban jon the two newspapers was timely and well-merited. There have been other political leaders who found to their sorrow that-the freedom of the press is something with which they cannot interfere with impunity. Once governments try to hide their actions and policies behind a press ban, they are on the way to political oblivion, for to a free democratic peo- ple the freedom of the press to criti- cize and even attack governments is one of the foundations of their way of life. Premier: Manning's deliberate step to vent his spite on two powerful newspapers which opposed him in his election campaign will not hurt the newspapers in the slightest degree, but 'it .will certainly, do incalculable harm to the prestige and 'position of Premier Manning as head of the Al- berta government. 3s ~ Daily Times-Gazette, Oshawa, | --Dally Times-Gazette, Oshawa. a inary sin 2+ INTERNATIONAL SCOUT | JAMBOREE Boy Scouts attending -the eighth World Boy Scout Jamboree at Niag- ara-on-the-Lake had the opportunity to have a close look at a CBC-TV cam. era.

THIEVES CRACK MARKHAM STORE SAFE AND FLEE The office of Simpson-Sears in the village of Markham was entered In 'the early hours of Monday, and a large safe .used for the storing of money was removed through the back door, Later in the day, the safe was dis- covered in the church yard of the Preshyterian Church. An audit con- ducted by the victimized firm revealed that the safe contained approximately $300. The safe was found opened and to date the culprits have not been de- termined. An intensive drive is being conduc- ted by police of Markham village and township, N. York township pdlice and the Provincial Police. It is believed that police have knowledge of the members of the gang, and early ar- rests may be made, Last Sunday; premises of the On- way Construction Co. on the Don Mills Road were surrounded by police when a report of prowlers was received, but they too were able to make their getaway. An opinion has been ex- pressed that the same gang of men were involved in both cases, RUSTLERS AT SUTTON SOLD CATTLE AT LINDSAY BARN R. D. Morrow, a farmer living near Sutton, recently reported to the Pro- vincial Police that 18 head of choice cattle had disappeared from his farm. They were taken from two large herds, An aeroplane was secured and a survey made of the area but none of the cattle were to be seen. The fences around the farm peared to be in.good shape. Later reports are to the effect that the cattle were sold by auction in Lind- ap- say and that a Mr. Hill, farming near Little Britain and a Mr. Steele were among the farmers who bought eight or ten of the cattle. : Provincal Police in Lindsay have been assisting in the investigation. It is estimated that the lost cattle will owner of over $3,000. ---- MEDICAL SOCIETY SUPPORTS SX TENSION, - Lindsay---The Victoria County Me- dical Association, through its member of the Hospital Board of Governors, Dr. IR. M. Parker, notified the Board at last week's meeting that it would stand squarley behind the board In' any contemplated expansion program. . The Association's report was brought to the meeting after doctors serving the Hospital had looked over tentative plans for a $1,000,000 exten- sion to the present hospital. During the interval between meet- ings, the plan_had also been pyesented by members of the board to hospital consultant Dr. Harvey Agnew, who was given the Board's ideas regarding the size of the extension, the approxl- mate cost, ete, Dr. Agnew is to consult architects, and return his report to the next meet- ing of the Board.

"The new school is situated on Gifford Street, and is being construe- ted by the new 'Slide Block' method. This method eliminates a great deal of work and material, while providing as good, if not a better building, as standard methods. The blocks are pre-cast from a light slag concreté, and are glazed on the outside with silicate, while the inside is painted like the standard plaster interlor. Apart from the front of the school, which is faced with brick, the entire building is constructed of these blocks, which, among other things, render the building absolutely fire-proof. The school will have four class-rooms to accommodate 160 pupils, with teach- ers' rooms and principal's office. Pro- vision is made for future extension of up to eight extra classrooms, 0f Many Things By Ambrose Hills THE FAMILY Down at the railroad station yester- day I saw a father saying farewell to his family. They are moving to a western city, and he is to follow as soon as he gets his business affairs in order. It is a very lively family, ranging in age from 4 to 14, and as I helped Charlie get settled into his hotel room I said, 'Well, I suppose you'll enjoy a few weeks of peace and quiet without the youngsters un- derfoot 7' ) 'That's what I always tell myself, he said. 'But it doesn't work that way. The peace and quiet bores me. I don't amount to much without the family.' I know just how he feels because I have a family of five myself. They disturb me when I am trying to write or read or think. They wake me ear- ly in the morning when I'd sometimes like to sleep. They pester me for car rides and they bother me for spending money. They worry me. about their homework and report cards, and they get noisiest and most demanding just about the time when I am loaded with problems of my own. But that is not the worst of it. The worst of it is when they go away! That is when the terrible peace and quiet settle in. And just like Charlie --1I don't amount to much without the family. __-I don't think a nation would amount to much for long, either, unless com- is responsible for the welfare of his own brood. That's one reason why I am always suspicious of govern- ments that try to take over all or part of that responsibility. Hitler did it; tyrants have always invaded the sanctity of the family. They use wonderful excuses and they pretend it is only to help, to improve the fa- mily welfare. They may even be sincere about it at first. But it never works. } ve Families are a terrible load, an aw- ful burden, a great responsibility. But they are worth it--ten times over!

In the West, two games of the West- ern Conference will be televised most weeks and every western television station will receive the most appro- priate and interesting game each week. basis since no inter-connections yet exist in the Western and Pacific re- gions, Mr; Ouimet stated, that this year's coverage of the football games will be the most comprehensive. program of fooball telecast ever made on this con- tinent. In the East, 10 connected stations will telecast from 20 to 20 games. each, and the three non-con- nected stations will telecast from 20 to 26 games each, and the three non- connected stations will televise 14 games during the season. An estim- ated four and one-half million persons will see the games in their own homes. Stations located in cities in which the games are actually being played are required to "black out" during the day the game is being played.
