Canada Within Two Years Ottawa,—Sir Wilfred Eady of the BritiSh Treasury, said that more than $1,000,000.000 of the $1,250,000,000 loan Canada is extending to Britain will be spent in the Dominion within the next two years. "We are not bound by the agree- anent to spend every penny in Can- ada", he told a press conference. "But I happen to know what is the British program for purchases in Canada for the next two years." One aspect of the loan was that whatever a Canadian exporter earned in sterling he could have exchanged in- to other currency. Another effect would be that Australia, for instance, could obtain Canadian dollars in Lon- don for purchases in Canada. This, some of the money might be spent in Canada by sterling countries other than Britain.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS BY Harry J. Boyle Pmet a friend last week. It was a Verson I hadn't seen in quite a long time. For days I had been anticipating the event. Strange, little memories came crowding into my mind, My re- flections were strictly those of conver- sations and times we had been together. There was something heart-warming in remembering incidents that seemed quite ordinary in the experience but which time glossed over with a strange lustre. The minutes of waiting seemed like miniature eternities. The watch mov- ed with maddening slowness. In. fact it seemed to be stopped. The measur- ed sweep of the minute hand was the only reassuring thing, and even in the reassurance there was a maddening quality. Suppose we.missed each other. How had fate and time used us? Would the old friendship stand .up in the face of a renewal? Maybe we would'nt be interested in the same things anymore. Then suddenly we were together. Who was the man who said that old friends are like old clothes because they fit so cOmfortably Maybe no one said it. I may have coined it in the minutes that our hands met. It felt that way. The pleasant feeling of friend ship that is so warming seemed to flush out from my heart. We sat in a restaurant and kindled new memories from the spark of the one we had just exhausted. We talk- ed and talked and scarcely paid any attention to the food. This was too good to be true. Even time hadn't dull- ed a sincere feeling. Afterwards we. went and sat in front of a fire hat was warm as our hearts and talked some more. Gradually the tide waters of remembrance subsided, Conversation came slower and slower. Was it possible After all this time Ow memories had flared up like grass fire on the prairies, roared along with tremendous fury and then sub- sided leaving only burned over ground. It wasn't so. There came as an after- math a feeling of pleasant friendliness, The fire was pleasant, the room Was a palace and we were two, old friends enjoying the fruits of good friendship. If a friendship can stand eilence, then it is a true one. What is that invisible boner that reaches out and holds two • people, conveying something .to each other that is even stronger than the. sinews of spoken remembrance, It's good to meet a friend, it's even better to realize that the friendship has stood the test of time and fortune and the world. BODMIN FARM FORUM The Bodtnin Farm Forum ,met at the home of Mr. and Mrs, William Kelly with 27 in attendance.
