walks or lire in many places the province with the query of whether trlhwfy should have a standard text book or canadian history it comes as somewhat or shock to many of us who left school several years ago to learn that such a standard history book or the dominion is not available for use in our schools going back in memory canadian history was quite an important subject on the course or studies and ir we recall correctly it was a red covered book that had to be much studied it comes indeed as a shock to learn now that scholars or the present must come to the conclusion that canada has no history how are young canadians going to learn about the dominion ir a standard text book is not placed in the schools how can those who come rrom oth er lands learn to become good canadians without access to a history text book or canada surely our educational authorities can agree on such a book and have it published canadians as a whole need to learn more about canada and canadians the past years have been rich in history just as good and in many respects bet ter than that or other countries its worth recording for the pupils or today and tomorrow the ontario statutes are revised and printed every ten years and they are referred to by fewer than a school history now that we know there is no canadian history book for school pupils it behooves all canadians to urge that one be put into our schools at as early a time as possible v chicken every sunday the timid canadian barnyard hen can muff her feathers and cackle lustily with justification for her war record is one of the bright spots in canadas role as a wartime food supplier canadian hens and the eggs they laid and are still laying -by- the- millions today helped reed the nation our allies and the troops overseas during these last five hectic years of war and they did something else they made can- adians more poultry conscious than ever before ebg production on canadian farms reached an alltime high or 3i5oooj0o0 dozen in im3 compared with 280000000 the previous year many factors contributed to the increase the war called for more and more rood more people went into poultry pro duction either as part or general farming or as a spe cialized undertaking shipping space at first re stricted shipment of eggs to britain but with the ad vent of plants for making egg powder these cxporii increased greatly and canadians began eating more eggs with meat rationing they turned to eggs and fowl and round them not only delicious but nutritious can adians consumed 270j72i27 dozen eggs in 1943 compared with 23172764 in 1040 domestic con sumption of poultry of all types was 267ht7git pounds last year against 2j425titki7 pounds in 1140 it is estimated that in lm4 wc may have a surplus o 30000000 pounds of poultry and poultry men arc hoping canadians will retain their warborn taste for chickens turkeys and other fowl as well is for eggs homeitl huntingdon of chicago manager f the united states egg board made a good suggest on to the recentl ontario poultry conference at tc onto he advised that every man woman and child n th- uod be educated to eat at least an egg a day iqd a chicken at least once a week as a means of ibs rbng the present record output tjvte to clinih the case for poultry the national re- aearchgoui icil has placed fowl and eggs on tie list ot essential foods needed to help maintain a balanced diet so with oar little barnyard friends producing egg as they have never produced before the byword f r the fatara should be chicken every sunday or v a leeat an egg a day brick day afeaai no one can predict exactly when the war will end and everyone realizes fully that the end will be hast ened by all sticking to thetr task until peace comes again but everyone who follows the war news real izes fully too that the end is coming rapidly the constant bombing or germanys industry an j communications and the retreats on all fronts is bound to have a disheartening effect on all her pop ulation no wonder that signs of internal disrupt ion come rrom within germany these days many will recall the days when france fell because or lack or coordinated leadership and all will realize that the signs of this chaotic and frenzied leadership or ger many will bring about her collapse in the same way but with armies pressing in on three sides it may be more hurried than is anticipated germany has raced five winters at war but al ways with its armies going forward this year the armies are backing up the bombing raids are on the increase and between now and the time winter comes the people or germany will have time for some bard thinking and getting ready for the peace terms the allied leaders may well bear in mind that these peace terms have been declared as unconditional surrend er the german people arc guilty or the war crimes and more than deposing the leaders is required v war parkin at the start or the war when motor tragic was at its peak 1200000 passenger cars and nearly 250000 trucks and buses plied canadas streets and high ways after the war when tire and gasoline ration ing has gone by the board it is safe to assume there ill be a tremendous increase in the number or mot or vehicles in the dominion all or which means that the parking problem will have to be tackled afresh in cities and towns across the country this question has proved a headache for municipal councils and town planning experts alike while it is true that big cities will be raced with the greatest problem in this regard smaller urban and semiurban municipalities should give heed to the future main street in most cases grew up in horse and buggy days and even in the years immed- iatley preceding the war round it difficult to accom modate weekend traffic main streets business men undoubtedly opposed and with good reason any highway diversion plans that would keep moneyspending tourists away from the commercial area but they would welcome plans to limit parking and so rive travellers a chance at least to sec what main street stores have to offer the clutter of parked cars is responsible for more congestion than running motor traffic it is conservatively estimated that on busy days standi lie cars take up 40 of so per cent or space originally intended for moving traffic between the rows of stationary vehicles moving cars wind their way at a snails pace a primary aim should be to keep main thorough fares open at all times by limiting parking time sidestreet car distribution may be objectionable in street congestion and will obviate at least for some time to come expensive street reconstruction sn some respects but it is infinitely better than main many cases creation of goodsized parking areas near business districts is possible at a comparatively small outlay the question of helicopter parking can be taken up at a later date v editorial notes a touchup for your i insect screens more live stock marketed in 1944 d your screens
