There is no virgin foil to be exploited; We can no longer mine fertility and huutus. The na- tional . welfare requires reforestation of watersheds, control of ,floods and the return to gr=assland of vast stretches. Through Soil Conservation Districts and enlightened farming we are starting a revolution on the land. It's a revolution that deserves the sup- port_of all, because it affects the welfare of the whole social order.

THOSE WEDDING REPORTS (Swift Current, Sask., Sun) There's no,. getting away from the feet . that a lot of people have been getting married in the past five or six years. As a matter of fact, people have been getting married for nigh on many thousands of years, but from the standppint of newspapers•it feels lately as if everyone in the world is •getting married. The Sun.'s' eoJpmns have been. chuekfull .of weddings, most of them sounding pretty much • the same, with dress descriptions and all the rest of the folderol. Our linoty a operators lave been going near daffy on "crepe ne.1 ne" &{rd-! the firm mather wore s, and so on and_so forth. We -have• oyed with the idea of conserving eeded space by putting a stopper on ress descriptions, etc., until last week when -we read. an editorial' on the ubject in the distinguished Saturday venting Post. It related how a Tin- ted States weekly newspaper editor ad a similar idea '(and did it) but efore many weeks had passed public - y' apologized in his paper and went ack to the old routine. It seems .that women never get tired f reading about what the brides wear any old bride, so long as she wears othes.

There lire still' those, however. o believe that Esperanto should be d as a worldwide tongue because of simple construction, no exceptions any grammatical rule and the fact t it Is composed `of words and ases from many languages. ut today English is widely used in' eign lands; to .such an extent it Lias replaced French. This growth' in popularity is welcomed; but it is no reason why we, should start using big words in order to make an impression. It is. more effective to use small words. For instance: "With the consum- mation of the holocaust, the unparal- leled quality of tobacco found only on the bench lands- of Omar IKhayyam's romantic country is now here." How much easier to say: "Now the war is over we can get that good Persian tobacco again." Certainly there are words like "con- summation," but when you're through. • C n d s b 0 el 0 g It u tx� ge th a It is wi wh it ag wh use its to tha phr B for How to Borrow at HOUSEHOLD FINANCE a;hoot') a monthly payrnea1 Wan Lai you ' 6 12 15 20 24 Gal puvmts paymis davmts payents Paymis ,,, 525 184.30 4l so 8.75 1 100 f 17.35 89.17 57.49 1150 20.33 0.75 4>: 200' 35.11 309 52.68 509 97.79 709 122.87 1099 175,3:1 18.31 27.50 45.84 64,18 11194 19.99 22.48 37.47 52.40 71.94 517.47 20.12 40.77 58.25 834.95 40.02 Select the amount you need, payment ntnn you prefer.

The most you can say is, "r love you," or, "I hate you." In the Bible you have the basis of all Christian* in one verse " of 11ttie _ words : `&For'ritiie bii _ o1 Malle r,sco ato• seek $rteZ'to save that which was lost." Look it up in ^St. Luke, chapter 19, verse 10. There is no end of examples of the use -of little words.' Take directions -7 - up, down, north, south, east, west. The trick in writing Letters, for instance, is not the use of 16 -cylinder words; it's putting little ones together in new ways. There's another angle of the English tongue that will cause some thought. Study the dictionary for combined words. The word jounce is a combin- ation of jolt and bounce, ind it is exactly true. Prance is proud and - dance. Then there are shortened words like bus, van, wig, fag, prim -- from omnibus, caravan, fatigue. primitive, periwig, So there ,is a vast store of little words that move the world. The thing is to toss them around and make them do new tricks. We do not say, that you should shun big words' alto gether.
