By building a dam across the outlet of the swamp, to hold back the water in the spring, a vast reservoir will be created that will do much towards replenishing â€" the underground water of the distric. as well as help in flood control. However, there seems to be a determined effort at the present time to. stop the damage from floods on the Grand River and the restoration of Luther swamp to its original condition is now being considered as an aid to this The Dam Will Help On the other hand this river has suffered tremendous shrinkâ€" age in the past generation. Fully fiftyâ€"five miles of its upper reaches dry up each summer as a direct result of the draining of the swamp. Formerly, the upper Grand comprised one of the finâ€" est speckled trout waters in the region. Now, trout are virtually nonâ€"existent. Floods in the springâ€" time, droughts and low water in the summer and early fall, these have followed the unwise drainâ€" age of the headwater swamp. Since the swamp was drained the whole district has suffered. At one time the wells were shalâ€" low for the water table was close to the surface, now, the wells are being driven decver and deeper eache year as the water table drops. And in the spring time the Grand river, the prinâ€" cipal stream to receive water from the swamp, goes on the rampage, destroying property and damaging the farmlands throughâ€" out its course. w h e o o ie y n en held the water for deep seepage, preventing it from going down the rivers as wild, springtime inâ€" undations.

Grave disturbances in the Balâ€" kans, a new lineâ€"up in Africa (all the French colonies there went over to the side of Britain) worked from other quarters last week to give Hitler and Mussolini serious pause in their campaigns for world conquest. The embroilâ€" ment of Rumania and Hungary meant the cuttingâ€"off of vtial productive activity (agricultural, industrial) in the Balkans, so badly needed in the German war effort. During the week the Germans were obviously concentrating on destroying all the important Britâ€" ish airfields in the southeast corâ€" ner of England, so that British fighters would be unable to deâ€" fend London and hold the air over the southeast coast. Plans for an invasion could only then go forward. Atlantic Sewed Up Played up less than any other angle was U. S. satisfaction at having pulled off a major diploâ€" matic and political coup. The securing of naval and air bases stretching up in a chain from South America to Newfoundland meant that the United States had the North Atlantic tied up in a bag, was on its way to becoming quietly master of this whole hemâ€" isphere. (A major feature of the transaction with Britain was a concurrent pledge from Prime Minister Churchill to Secretary of State Hull that the British fleet would never be scuttled or surrendered and thus jeopardize U.S. security in the Atlantic). ‘"They Can‘t Do It" Great Britain still had not been invaded last week. In supâ€" port of the theory that Germany never would be able to accomâ€" plish it, Masanori Ito, one of Japan‘s bestâ€"known naval comâ€" mentators, declared that Hitler could not land troops in Engâ€" land while the British commanded the seaâ€"and the German Air Force was insufficient to win away that command. "The nasty shock for Hitler", recently foretold by the London Daly Mail, came last week with President Roosevelt‘s dramatic announcement that the United States was handing over to Great Britain 50 destroyers for use in the war against Germany. In more than one way, this was bad news for the Axis. Hitler and Mussolini saw the British navy strengthened thereby, its forces ~bolstered for an ecarly Near Eastern offensive; knew their own blockade of the Britâ€" ish Isles weakened; realized the extent of the coâ€"operation beâ€" tween Brtiain and the United States (for the U. S. came close to "an act of war" in implementâ€" ing the deal). Continuing their tour of Central Ontario, a munitions plant at St. Catharines and then §en£ed wiil:h_ a‘.bouque_t durin‘g the trip.
