Bob Munro Here Next Friday An event of much interest to ex- servicemen in Stratford will take place next Friday night, when Rev. Bob Munro, well-known padre, will address a gathering of the Christian Business Men's Committee in St. John's United Church. Mr. Munro became a familiar figure to thous- ands of servicemen through his work with the Soldiers' and Airmen's Christian Association, which was active in the service camps through- out Canada during the war years. Prior to that he saw service in the Ist World War; as a Baptist minister; as Superintendent of the Glasgow Rescue Mission, in Scot- land; and as Chaplain in Trans-Can- ada Construction Camps. His address to the C.B.M.C. gathering next Fri- day is expected to bring a large turn- out, and ex-servicemen are especial- ly invited to attend. Elmer Fleming tenor, will be guest soloist POTATOES ARE PLENTIFUL Despite the bountiful wheat cr which has just been harvested th Canada, as well as in some other countries, the demands of a hungry world for this staple food remain ments are very large. Canada this year has an excellent potato crop. During the coming months it is hoped that a generous use of this vegetable will be advo- cated and practised. Substituting potatoes wherever possible for bread and other flour products will enable Canada to. spare more wheat for overseas shipment. Apart from wheat conservation aspects, both the sup- vly and the price of potatoes favour an Increased consumption this year, The Sunday school teach made a convincing talk on the a umph of good over beauty.

Don't Expect Many Tins Of Salmon This Fall Canadian housewives are in for a disappointment concerning canned salmon. They have been promised 500,000 cases this fall, but informa- tion indicates it is unlikely they will get anything like that amount. Allocation of the half million cases for domestic consumption was based on an estimated salmon catch, prin- cipally in British Columbia, of 1,900,- 000 cases, which must be divided be- tween promises to the British Min- istry of Foods, Canadians and gen- eral export. Actual catch is estimated at 1,300,- 000 cases, or 600,000 cases short of expectations. Fair guess is that there will be a trimming of the shipments to the British Food Ministry to a greater degree than to the Canadian con- sumers; export shipments are small in comparison. It is believed, on the basis of avail- able information, that no more than 325,000 cases will be allotted to Can- adian distributors, and that will spread pretty thinly across the nation. Sockeye and chum salmon had a good catch, but pinks were bad this BUZZARD EYES Have you ever gazed skyward and watched buzzards circling about a certain locality? Few in this country have, but if they did they would wonder how these birds ever man- age to see anything from the height at which they fly. The answer to that problem is that buzzards have a very remarkable eyesight. Their eyes are regarded as infallible up to a height of a thousand feet. An example of their amazing eye- sight is the fact that a buzzard can see a large insect on the ground, while the bird is eight or nine hun- dred feet in the air. As political symbolism the straight furrow is old stuff and it-is fast losing its significance in agriculture.

Page 8 Imperfect Plans Or Imperfect Principles (From The Scene) Is Canada to bog down in a swamp of imperfect plans or to progress by! giving effect to perfect principles? The decision is being made now and the would-be perfect-planners are crippling our economy to gain the upper hand. These potential devisers of our destiny believe that they are equal to making the best choices for their fellow-men. They have persuaded a great many Canadians that all that stands between each Canadian and a life of ease and luxury is a wicked capitalist or a crooked politician. The fact that production is still far below human needs does not affect their propaganda. Democratic cap- italists and constructive politicians - have failed to counter such wicked nonsense with the truth or to declare the faith that is in them loud enough to be heard and understood. Democratic capitalism is the only known means of minimizing the privileges of power in organized society and of approximating equity by protecting the right of each to earn the just rewards of his wisdom and labor and to achieve adequate production. These truths are the foundation of a faith that should inspire free people to economic evangelism in a world menaced by authoritarianism. Test this statement: The extent of material progress has ben determin- ed by the degree of economic free- dom organized society has been able to maintain for individuals. Demo- cratic capitalism maintains a max- imum of individual freedom and op- portunity. If it is true, repeat it loudly and often. The well-being of Canada, and the world, depends upon belief in it. Y.W.C.A. PLANS BUSY SEASON (Continued from page 1) sport at the "YW", with the Business Girls playing every Wednesday from 8 to 10.30 p.m., and the juniors hold- ing the floor every Tuesday after- noon from 4 to 6. Both groups are coached by Mrs. H. Ellis and Mrs. Dand. The classes in ballet and tap danc- ing, held Wednesday afternoons at the "YW", are also proving popular. Groups ranging from the 4 to 6 year olds right up to the teenagers are receiving expert instruction at ex- tremely low cost. Altogether, the "YW" is more than justifying the support the citizens gave it when it appealed for financial assistance earlier in the year. He was enlarging on the dangers of modern foods and with a dramatic gesture, he pointed an emphatic fin- ger at a rather harassed-looking and inoffensive listener and demanded: "What is it? We all eat it some- time or other yet it's the worst thing in the world for us. What is it, I say? Do you know?" It appeared that the little man did know, for he replied in a husky voice: "Wedding cake!"

But surely reasonable optimists are realists when they now say, as many do here, that if U.N. could come through those past storms, it can come through anything. Britain has confounded some of her critics by filing her acceptance of the trusteeship council plan. Only this week so distinguished an auth- ority as Sumner Welles predicted that Britain would refuse to do so. * THERE ARE NO ISSUES AL- ready on the agenda which seem as explosive as those which had Bevin and Molotov shaking fists and roar- ing insults at each other in London last winter. The Assembly will certainly have something to say about Franco's Spanish fascist government. The plight of refugees in Europe will surely involve incidental discussion of Palestine. But on the first days of this New York session there is no single rock in plain sight on which U.N. might smash. Hé was telling her his family his- tory. "My grandfather was a poor, hard-working clockmaker. When he died he left his estate, which con- sisted of 200 clocks, to my father." "How interesting,' she said.
