TO the writer of this letter and several thousand others who are in the same position,
your Hydro can definitely say that your application for service certainly has not
"slipped our mind.° Everything that can be done is being done to serve as many new
customers as soon as possible.
Even though many regulations have been relaxed, and the war in Europe is over,
there is little, if any, sign of improvement in the shortage of labour and materials. The
shortage of only one of the many parts needed to complete a service results in a delay.
The labour and materials available are being used with ektreme care and planning to
serve as many new rural customers as quickly as possible.
To those applicants in areas where Hydro lines are still to be constructed, Hydro
service will be made available as the supply of labour and materials improves. Already
sufficient applications have been received which will require the construction of over
2,000 miles of line that cannot be undertaken in 1945. However, your Hydro is making
every effort to complete by the end of 1945 all applications made in 1944 that have
been officially approved by letter: •
Your Hydro has done and is doing everything possible to extend electricity to
essential rural services. The Hydro rural service that you are waiting for will be
completed just as soon as the labour and material situation permitt.

by a special Armorizing process
that retains all the resilience and
smooth-riding properties of Dunlops
plus increased strength and service
that mean many extra miles of safe,

San Francisco, Japan's decision
to sue for peace was made at a full
Cabinet meeting, including the war
,and navy ministers, which lasted from
Thursday until dawn Friday (Toykci

cast monitored by the Federal Com-

the decision was unanimous,
Second Atomic Bomb Dropped
Guam, — Nagasaki was attacked
with the world's second atomic bomb
on Thursday and 30 per cent of the
city was destroyed including all its
industrial district. The first atomic
bomb fell on Hiroshima Monday last
week and wiped out 60 per cent of
that city of 343,000.
Martin Says Food
Exports Assured
Port Stanley, Marketing of Can-
ada's farm products when the demand,
because of war, for foodstuffs eases
off,• is subject of survey now being
undertaken by the Dominion Govern-
ment, according to Hon. Paul Martin,
secretary of state of Canada, who ad-
dressed Elgin farmers at their first
annual picnic at Port Stanley. Pro-
vision has already been made for ex-
port credits which may be used to
facilitate trade expansion, to assure ad-
ditional markets for farm products,
said Hon. Mr. Martina An act was
passed in 1944 creating a- fund of
$200,000,000 for the support of prices
of agricultural products during the
transition from war to peace, he said.
Japan Third Rate Nation
Japan has been on the warpath so
long—since 1895—that her defeat will
mean a great difference in living con-
ditions. ,Britain, China and the Unit-
ed States announced twice—at Cairo
and Potsdara—that Japan •will be cut
back to her four home islands. Japan
—a major power at the start of the
war—now is a third-class nation.
Charges UNRRA Neglects Orient
London, — The apparently ap-
proaching end of the Pacific war
caught the United Nations Rehabili-
tation and Relief Conference in a fin-
ancial and administrative dilemma
with Australia charging the council
had not made adequate plans to deal
With the "colossal” problem of relief
in the Orient. A statement by the
UNRRA however, said it would not be
caught "unprepared."
V-J ThanItsgivmg. Plan. at Ottawa
Ottawa, An appropriate Sunday
will be set aside as a day of prayer
and solemn thanksgiving in Canada
when termination of hostilities with
Japan is officially announced. Prime
Minister Mackenzie King announced
in a statement,
Abolition of Gas Ration Seen
Ottawa, — T, M. Bryson, executive
assistant to MunitiOns Minister Howe,
told reporters that it would be "per-
fectly reasonable e. .to assume" that th
ending of the war with Japan would
bring an "immediate increase" in the
gasoline ration. Referring to a recent
Washington statement that gasoline
rationing would be lifted the day after
V-J day, Mr. Bryson said: "We have
kept pace with them and if they lift
the ration there we will follow as
quickly as possible."
Dominion-Provincial
Conference Adjourned
Ottawa, — With predictions of a
speedy end of the war adding a note
of urgency to their work, Canada's 10
governments brought the preliminary
stage of the Dominion-Provincial con-
ference on reconstruction to an end
with a, 15-minute plenary session in
the House of Commons. It ended with
the decision that the heads of Govern-
ment should meet again November 26
to map the course of future work after
all governments have studied the pro-
posals before them and exchanged'
other proposals and views,
Need 1,000,000 to Police Japan
Washington, — More than 1,000,000
Allied troops may be required for the
immediate occupation of Japan and her
former territory once the Japanese sur-
render is final. High Government of-
ficials said United States forces un-
questionably will have to move in first
to disarm and police the Japanese
home islands. Russian troops prob-
ably will take over in Manchuria,
Korea and the Island of Sakhalin,
which they have shared with the Jap-
anese. British troops most likely
would be employed in the Southeast
Asia, area,
What Will Chiang Eal-Sh.ek. Do.
Washington, Among the impond-
erables spotlighted by Russia's entry
into the war is the question, what will
become of the Chiang Kai-Shek-
Chinese Communist deadlock in.
China? Russian influence on the
passes seems certain to assume a ma-
jor role with Russias entry into the
war.
Liquor Taxes. Total
$129,460,000 for Year
Ottawa, — Liquor taxes in 1943
netted the Dominion Government $64-
484,000 while the provinces obtained
$64,976,000 tax revenue from the
same source; or a total of $129,460,-
000 for all governments. Gasoline
taxes for 1943 totaled $70,502,0004 for
all governments, with $24,930,000 go-
ing to the Dominion and $45,572,000
to the provinces.
Hit and Run Driver
Killed 2 Children
Twoo little children, a boy and girl,
cousins, playing with their wagon near
their grandmother's home, were kil-
led almost instantly when a car, al-
legedly driTen by a hit-and-run driver,
mounted the curb and struck the
youngsters. Arrested and charged
with manslaughter, is William E,
Smith, age 38, employed as a clerk at
Westminster Hospital, and alleged
driver of the car. Victims were three-
year-old Margaret Golder and seven-
year-old Keith Sommerville, whose
fathers are both veterans of this war
and only recently returned home from
the fighting fronts.
War Crime Trials Pact
London, — The four great Western
powers signed a pact to establish an
international military tribunal for
speedy mass trials of Germany's war
criminals to demonstrate that aggres-
sion leads "to the prisoner's dock
rather than the way to honors." The
legally-unprecedented document es-
tablished the tribunal's seat in Berlin,
but provided specifically that the first
major trial—one expected to bring
more than 25 Nazi chieftans together
in the same dock—shall be held in
Nuernberg, shattered citadel of the
party's glory.
Molotov Announced
Russians War Entry
Moscow, — Soviet Russia declared
war on Japan effective at midnight
Wednesday (5 p.m., E.D.T.) and re-
vealed she had been asked to join the
Pacific conflict by the Allies to speed
"universal peace." Foreign Commis-
sar Molotov disclosed Japan had ask-
ed the Soviet Union to mediate in the
war in the Pacific, but said Tokyo's
rejection of the Potsdam ultimatium to
surrender made her proposals "lose all
significance."
By Frank Morriss
Back in the Woodlot
Wood of trees that have died has
less value as fuel than wood of trees
cut green and properly dried or seas-
soned. For that reason nothing is to
be gained by leaving in established
woodlots and shelterbelts trees which
are at a standstill, so far as further
development is concerned.
The department of Agriculture says
that woodlots and shelterbelts should
be thought of as farm crops yielding
a harvest within more or less definite
periods, and, as such, new crops must
be started occasionally.

Migration Inside Canada
Home-ties in Canada are tightly
bound up in sentiment and a feeling
that permanence is the way of happi-
ness. The sense of security within
the family circle is precious to us all,
but .depressions and wars have their
way with us, and change has its way
with us, whether we like it or not.
These thoughts come to me as I
look over the figures on inter-pro-
vincial migration, Figures are pretty
cold things, themselves, but there are
stories that they tell to the imaginative
eye. The Dominion Bureau of Sta-
tistics, a few months ago, published
some facts about how Canadians Play-
ed about their country between the
years 1981 to 1941, So much happen-
ed during those ten years,
In 1931, for instance, we were deep
into a depression that disheartened all
of us, with prices falling with a sick-
ening thud, the winds tearing up prec-
ious Saskatchewan soil that needed
rain so badly, and with people moving
to new places in search of a living,
Families had to leave their friends and
neighbours and make a new life for
themselves. The depression dragged
on through the '80s and we were only
On the threshold of the '40s when war'
descendedUS, Many, very malty
Of us went into the armed services, and
others went to the cities to work in
war factories,
The 13ureati of Statistics figures
show that during the 1931.41 period
Saskatchewan bad the greatest number
of people leaving to live in other prov-
inces, As a matter of fact, 188,204
people left Saskatchewan, while only
30,659 came in. The net decrease in
the population of Manitoba through
migration was 48,478, Alberta 41,841,
New Brunswick 10,177, Prince Ed-
ward Island 2,672, anti Quebec 1,584,
On the other hand, the net increase
through migration in British. Columbia
was 82,498, Ontario 77,484 and Nova
Scotia 7,840,
I wonder what changes the post-
war years will bring.

Farmers Approve Grading
Recent meetings of Farm Forum
radio groups have been stressing
something that the Canadian farmer
has been feeling for some time. And
that thought is that the grading of
farm products is an excellent thing,
The Radio Forum groups consider
that grading is a prime safeguard
against inefficiency in production.
They readily concede that further im-
provements in the system of grading
might enable producers to meet con-
sumer needs more satisfactorily. They
suggest, for instance, that grading
practices should be more closely sup-
ervised and that standarization should
be on a national rather than on a re-
gional or provincial scale.
These radio forums also vigorously
repudiate the suggestion that price
stabilization for farm products, if ac-
companied by a system of grading en-
courages inefficiency. Price Buda..
ations, in the past, they declare, made'
farmers gamblers rather than efficient
farmers,
