The snow plow operators want to keep the streets cleaned off pro- perly ; they can't do so when there are cars parked along the sides-and the fellows who own the cars can't find any place to put the vehicles that will not interfere with the plowing. What we really need is some new and better way to load and remove the excess snow from the busier thoroughfares. As a matter of fact, the whole subject of what winter does to the Canadian economy, public and private, is a field that lies wide open to the inventor with creative mind. There was a time, not too many years ago, when winter 20. was just a zestful alternative to summer ; when everybody, young and older, enjoyed the storms and cold. Those, by the way, were also the days when you could buy a cord of four-foot wood for a dollar and a quarter ; the stove you burned it in cost fifteen dollars and was good for twenty winters of heavy firing. There is no use fooling ourselves with the trite phras- es about the nonsense of modern inventions, such as cars, and the unnecessary problem of snow removal which has iz,g, resulted from their common use. Cars are just as 1100e8* Sry today as cutters and sleighs were fifty years ago. They are the transport of modern business. What we B need is not a return to the "good old days", but some con- centrated thought and investment which will lead to more efficient methods of heating our bildings and contending with the problem of snow removal, published at Wingham, Ontario Wenger Brothers, Publishers, W.

The financial burden of the Christmas season takes :. out the lack of information available with regard to civil defence in small towns. A central organization has been set up but we are afraid that civil defence is lagging. Great Britain, under the new Churchill government, is planning to revive the Home Guard, which did such a mag- nificent job in the last war. They are to be equipped with rifles and Sten guns. It's not Britain that will be in the front lines this time, but ourselves, and we're doing noth- ing about it. We're still stuck with that old way of think- ing-if anything happens, then we'll do something about it. We may not get ,a chance the next time. Canada needs a much larger army, air force and navy, as well as a home guard and civil defence organization. Actually, the only condition which prevents us having ade- quate protection in this way is the attitude of the Canad- ian people, who are not yet prepared to face the necessary sacrifices which would be entailed in a program of full pre- paredness. That attitude is a very human and natural one, but at. the same time it is a dangerous line of thought, or 'perhaps lack of thought. Some feel that our northland is impervious to invasion because of th'; rigors of the climate and the hazards of dis- tance and the?e are others who feel that we are wide open to the north. There is much to he said for both schools of thought and we'll not stop an invasion of North America by concentrating all our forces in the north. But we could seriously hamper any enemy with a strong air force and a properly trained and armed home guard and mobile army free to be rushed to the danger points. eQ Fi r, len, Mrs. Lloyd Magee, Miss Gerty Bush; supply and quilt coin., Mrs, Charles McCutcheon, convener, Mrs. executivecommittee, the fl and .Mrs. .
