to Aquaba, Trans-Jordan's tiny Red
Sea port; and five miles away, across
the Gulf of Aquaba, Jewish armoured
columns at Um Reshresh are in pos-
session of the Negeb's short Red Sea
coastline; which they claim belongs to
the State of Israel, Thus Aquaba has
become the trouble-spot of the Middle
East.
tt is the only accessible trade route
for Abullah's otherwise landlocked
kingdom of Trans-Jordan, and from
Aquaba ships can sail into the Indian
Ocean or via the Suez Canal into the
Mediterranean Sea. Ati outlet is equal-

reports were made of coming events,
Euchre to be conducted on April 12th,
and variety concert by the young peo-

also made for quilting missionary quilt

Milverton Juniors clearly demon-

outscored the Strathroy team two
goals to one in both the first and
third periods to win the game 4-2 and
take the W.O.A.A. junior group hoc- "

When the governments of the eight
signatory nations—the United States,
Canada, Great Britain, France, Hol-
land, Belgium, Norway and Luxem-
burg, ratify the North Atlantic treaty,
a great North Atlantic Alliance will
have been formed. ,Later, it is expect-
ed that other countries around the

Iceland, Denmark, Portugal and Italy,
will also join the alliance, which will

The North Atlantic Treaty is, of
course, a pact for defense, and its com-
mitments are as strong and definite as
could reasonably be expected. Its sig-
natories will give genuine pledges
whose meaning cannot be mistaken.
They will openly and candidly pro-
claim their intention to act as one in
defense. The pact itself, being only a
document, obviously does not provide
the West with the defense it needs,
After signing it, the Powers concerned
will still fade the task of organizing
and co-ordinating the necessary armed

Of its fourteen *articles, numbers
five, six and nine are the vital ones.
Article five says that an attack on one
signer shall be considered an attack
on all, and each will "forthwith" assist
the victim by "such action as it deems
necessary, including the used' of arm-
ed force." Article six defines "attack"
to include attack not only on the home
territory of the signers,. but on their
occupation forces, their ships and plan-
es, and cetain areas they control out-
side their mainlands. Article nine, sets

STRAIT OF CANSO TO
BE BRIDGED
Nova Scotia's 50-year dream of a
bridge across its Strait of Canso is
coming true soon. Transport Minister
Chevrier announced recently that a
$13,500,000 low-level span will be
built across the stretch of water separ-
ating Cape Breton Island. from the
mainland. This bridge will save . fifty
minutes in passenger train schedules
to the cities of Syduey and Glace Bay.
The structure, to tarty both railway
and highway traffic, will replace a
car-ferry op-Frated by the C.N.R. and
an 'automobile ferry run by the pro-
vincial government, which have been
i operating at a loss. The new bridge
will be paid for jointly by the Domin-
ion and Nova Scotia governments. The
engineers have recommended that it
be built between Cape Porcupine on
the mainland, and Balacho Point, on
Cape Breton Island, spanning a 3,000,-
feet water gap.
It will take about three years to
build the ;bridge, which it is proposeji
will have a clearance of 14 feet above
water at high tide and a vertical lift
span close to the Cape Breton shore
to provide clearance of 156 feet for •1 •
ships. Thus alter 10 years, of persis-
tent endeavour, the residents of Cape
t Breton Island are to get the bridge
they need to facilitate travel to and
, front the vest of Nova Scotia.

BUTTER FLOOR PRICE
HELD AT 53 CENTS
Agriculture Minister t=ardner art-
ricunced in the House of C;amnons at
Ottawa recently that the government
hay decided to continue the 58c whole-
sale floor price for butter in the new
dairy year beginnina May 1. That is
the floor price currently in operation
under the Agricultual Prices Support
Act.
It provides that if the wholesale
butter price falls below that doer the
Dominion will purchase at 58e a pound
all supplies offered and thus support
the market against a further drop. No
definite procedure for government pus-
chase of butter has been arranged in
view of the fact prices have not been
established at 58c wholesale. Gener-
ally speaking, the government would
take butter at 58c a pound if no one
else wanted it at that price.
Mr. Gardiner said the Board has re-
ceived s' inquiries from vark,ds

all probability the recent visit of Ad-
miral Mainguy will soon be reflected
in some reports emanating from Otta-
wa. Either St. johns or Bay Bulls
would be an admiralalile base for the
North Atlantic unit of the fleet. I the
Canadian Navy is to expand, and indi-
cations are that it will, then there is a
chance that a small unit may be perm-

that each opponent had four hearts.
Accordingly, he had to count on ':hree
losing heart tricks.
After winning with the ace of hearts
the declarer would take stock. Hoping
for four diamond tricks he still had
the problem of winning four more
tricks between the spade and club
suits while avoiding the loss of more
than one trick in those suits.
If any of them depended on a fin-

they chose very unwisely, for this was

However, there was a splendid op-
