The Remedial Works Sought The object of the convention is the construction of works to restore, pre serve and enhance the scenic beauty of the falls, The remedial works are reccommended by the special Niagara Board appointed by the two Govern: ments to investigate and report upon the falls and the factors bearing upon the preservation of the scenic beauty The work comprises submerged de: flecting weirs placed in the rapids above the falls lying diagonally and irregularly across the current and so constructed as to be indistinguishable from the natural irregularities pro- duced in the rapids by the natural rock ridges placed there by nature The results to be anticipated from the construction of the works on the two flanks of the Horseshoe Fall will be the insurance at all seasons of ary unbroken crest line from shore to shore, the maintenance of the present blended green and white color effects of the Horseshoe Fall and, in sothe measure, a modification of the rate of erosion in the bend, The works in Grass Island pool will ensure an adequate flow in the American rapids and falls and between the Three Sis- ter Islands, Until the convention ' is ratified nothing can bé done to restore the deteriorated scenic values of the falls CANADA CAN MEET RUSSIA IN WORLD EXPORT MARKETS In concluding a review. of Russian economic developments as they relate to Canada, The Financial Post, To- ronto, says: y "What do Russian developments mean for Canada? So far it is the wheat market that has suffered most from Soviet 'dumping,' although com. plairits are already being made about other products (e.g, timber and pulp- wood). It seems probable that Rus. sia will become an increasingly im portant factor in the international wheat market; and the urgent need of foreign credits to complete: the Five Year Vian scems likely to in- FIRST MEETING OF LAYMEN'S ASSOCN. Alfred Ayre Elecied Presi- _ dent of New Society at Zion Church (Mrs. J. W. Bolson, ndent ) of the Zion Laymen's Association was held in the Sunday School on Thursday night, Jan, 29, with 18 present, Rev, Mr. Bick opened the meeting with a prayer. ley then saug two hymns with Anson Balson at the plano. Mr: Ross Strike, of Bowmanville, gave a very interest- ing talk on the founding etc, of a Laymen's Club. Mr, Blek then took charge and it was put to a vote as whether to organize or not. The motion was carried unanimously. It was also decided upon that we have a membership feo of 35¢. Elec tion of officers were as follows: President, Alf. Ayre; vice-president, John Balson; Sec, Anson Balson, Treasurer, Ralph Glaspell; Trace Glaspell was elected to the execu- tive along with the officers. It was decided to hold the next meeting the second Tuesday of Feb. Mr, Bick 'then had a contest of pictures of men and women of the world consisting mainly of publi men of Canada. The men in charge served lunch, which was cheese, crackers and tea, May the 'good work continue. Mr, and Mrs, Jesse Arnott, Mr. and Mrs. Alf.

"And, finally, it seems probable that Canadian wheat lands tilled by Cana- dians using the best 'Made in Cane ada' equipment can grow wheat, in the average scason, at least as cheap- ly as Russian farms manned by Rus- sian peasants using agricultural im- plements made in these new Russian factories, The same reasoning scems to apply to other products. In the long run «Canada can probably ad- just herself to any fair competition; but goods produced by forced labor, or bought with a depreciated cur- rency to be sold abroad for what they will bring, may for a time react in juriously on certain Canadian indus tries."
