A. Forrester, Publisher Scarcity of Houses For Rent In Orono at the pr-sent tinie there is a scarcity of bouses for ut. Three or four e-nquir-ies have been received the past week em people who want to move to Orono te live, if ut ail possible. tpi-sent there are four bouses vacant, and a couple of other uses vacant but net for rent. The four that are vacant are up for le, and by ail reports, tvwýo at least will likely ho, sold in a week two if not soo'ner. Qrono can ill-afford Vo bave houses vacant. It is bard to bold ,ople together in a village, ýand if one family mioves away there is hile to be an epidemic of moyving froin the town, but if people want settie here, thei we should be able Vo provide homes for thern. le uneed every famnily that we can possibly geV Vo keep our 'Commun- y- going. ~Surely there must be houses in thbe village that could be di- ýrted into double apartinents ut very littie cost, which -would bring e owner of bhe bouse some extra revenue that he -would flot receive lerwise ? It la nearly eut of the question io~w Vo build a bouse ;labour is scarce and miaterial is nearly impossible to) get, but if me of our resideuts could and weould divide their nomes more ople could corne Vo Orono to live and make this village one of the ost thrifty villages in auy rural community.

For the past week or so Australia bas been pretty well ieft Vo rself in the defence of their countryadn'w 1aheJpns e only aibout four huundred miles away, the people of Australia are ceiving General MarArtliur with wide open arms. Now that Java has practically fallen, General Wvlwbo was iead the fight in the ýSouth Pacifie, has been sent Vo India Vo look Lter the defences of that country, and when hs was doue, Australia At that she wias left alone Vo 'work eut ber ovin salvation. Many EAustralias fightiug forces are lun England, Africa, 'Burina, Java, bers viere capltured ut iSingapoire, which lias greatly weakened iat country in case she is caulled upon te defend herself. Now that 'General MacArthur lias arrived, along witb troops, anes and other war equipinent fi-orsi the States, no wonder there la ,eat rejo 'cing iu that land cown under. No lorger will hey be lied upon to fight alone, but lu the near future Australia will, or iould, beconie a country that v-ijîl be ahle Vo hold her own against e Japanecse.
