TO EXTEND RURAL SERVICE
Within three to five years after
men and materials again become
available, The Bell Telephone Comp-
any of Canada plans to spend almost
$10,000,000 to extend rural tele-
phone service to some 20,000 more
rural dwellings in Ontario and Que-
bec, according to an article in the
current issue of "The Blue Bell",
monthly magazine for Bell Tele-
phone employees.
This sum covers reconstruction,
the proviion of facilities to serve
those whose application have had to
be deferred because of wartatne
shortages and unexpressed demand,
and new construction to take care of
expected growth beyond present
pole lines. It will involve the erec-
tionof some 2,000 miles of new pole
line'lnd 20,000 additional miles of
circuit,
It does not cover the cost of con-
verting rural exchanges to the same
system as that in large cities, and
other service improvements which
will help the company make its con-
tribution to the postwar objective
of full employment.
Further studies are still being
made to find out what people in
rural areas think about telephone
service and what they want, On
this sound basis of fact, still more
extensive plans may be developed.
Providing high quality telephone
service at a cost the farmer is able
to pay is by no means an easy task,
the article states. It is estimated
that about 80 per cent of all rural
families in the Bell Company's ter-
ritory are located either along ex-
isting lines or near enough to them
so that service can be provided with-
out a special construction charge.
Yet at the present time only 38 per
cent of rural dwellings have ;service.
Full advantage is being taken of
economical methods of construction
introduced before the war, and
study is being made of other devel-
opments brought to the fore to re-
cent years.
'The remarkable accomplishments
of radio telephony in the war have
produced many fanciful pictures of
the peacetime uses of radio com-
munication," the Blue Bell article
says.. "However, experiments are
now under way to determine the
feasibility of providing this type of
service to farms located many miles
away from the nearest telephone
exchange."
In addition to extending the scope
of rural service, the Bell Company'
plans to continue its policy of don-
tinued improvement in quality. In
the 10 years following the war, it is
expected that more than 100 rural
Exchanges will be converted to dial
operation. This will permit - the in-
stallation of the latest and most
efficient types of telephone sets,
which will be more convenient to
use than the present ones, and will
afford clearer tranmission.
As materials 'become available,
the number of -parties .per rural line
will be steadily reduced, and the
type of ringing provided whereby a
subscriber hears the ring for only
half of the other parties on his line.
"The Bell Company has long given
advice as to the operation of lines
maintained by the farmers them-
selves,” the article concludes. "Such
help will be increased after the war,
ranging from advice on how such a
group should handle collections,
financing and other management
problems, to the very important
item of how to give desirable ser-
vice."
IMPORTANCE OF ANNUALS
FOR PASTURE
Greater attention to perennial
pasture during recent years has un-
doubtedly increased the total
amount of feed produced, but the
production of evenly distributed
pasture throughout the season has
not been achieved. A flush of feed
is still followed by a pronounced
shortage a few months later, conse-
quently, pastures must be snpple-
mented by an annual crop to main-
tain the supply of feed throughout
the growing season in sufficient
abundance for the needs of the stock
carried, says B. J. Finn, Divisien of
Forage Plants, Central Experiment-
al Farm, Ottawa,
The choice of an annual crop will
depend upon its suitability to the
district, its cost of production and
the particular season of year when
grazing will be needed, Some of the
crops which have been tested as sup-
plementary pastures are fall rye,
oats alone or in combinations with
Sudan grass and Millets. Soybeans,
sorghums, rape, kale and corn have
also been tested.
Fall rye seeded as early as Au-
gust 1, will provide late fall pasture.
If seeded later than September 1,
it will not provide pasture until the
following spring. It should be seeded
at 1' to 2 bushels per acre on well
prepared land in fair state of fer-
tility.
The use of oats as an annual pas-
ture is becoming popular. Varieties
such as Roxton and Beaver, which
are resistant to both stens and leaf
rust, will give excellent grazing if
seeded about the middle of May at
2% to 3 bushels per acre. The date
of seeding may be varied, depending
on the time the pasture is required.
Oats may be grazed four or five
weeks after seeding or when the
soil.
A mixture of two bushels of oats
and Sudan grass at 20 pounds per
acre supplies considerably more
pasture than oats or Sudan grass
alone. The oats will furnish early
pasture while the Sudan grass
makes its best growth when the soil
gets warm and usually after .the
oats have been grazed: off. This
mixture should be ,seeded about
June 1..
Millet as an emergency crop may
be seeded late — even as late as
1 July 15 - provided moisture condi-
tions are favourable. It is not as well
adapted as oats to cool seasons, but
under such conditions it does better
than Sudan grass, The rate of seed.
ing is 20 to 30 pounds per acre and
it may be pastured when it is ten
inches to one foot in height.
The above annual crops may he
used to good advantage along with
the hay aftermath from early cut
clover, alfalfa or legume -grass mix•
tures which often provides excellent
late summer pasture.
crop is not more than one foot in
height.
Sudan grass alone, seeded. at 25 to
30 pounds per acre will produce
very good = pasture in about six
weeks. Sudan grass will grow on
any type of soil adapted for corn
and should not be seeded before
May 30 as it will not thrive on cold

WELCOMES RETURNING HEROES: Thirty-one years a Canadian soldier, (C.E.F., militia,
C.A.S.F. and reserve), Seymour Tyler, Canadian Pacific Railway sleeping car porter, is unofficial greeter
to thousands of the fighting men and women being rushed home now on the sleepers and diners taken
out of ordinary service (above). A high point in his World War II experience was leading the First
Division to trains from shipside at Greenock, Scotland, in December of 1939 as band sergeant of the
Carleton and York Regiment bugle band. His most prized possession is a silver bugle, gift of Carle-
ton and York warrant and non-commissioned officers. about which the Ring questioned him at Al-
dershot in 1940 (inset).

MONTREAL—Two and three-
quarter million miles in Admir-
alty service—with two million
of those miles as troop trans-
ports — is the -proud record of
the Canadian Pacific fleet in the
German War, it has been reveal-
ed here in a review of the sea
miles steamed for Canada and
the United Nations up to V -E
Day.
These wartime voyagings rep-
tesent the transportation through
enemy -infested waters of three-
quarters of a million service per-
sonnel and civilians and of three
and one-half million tons of war
materiel and food.
Tlie 40 million meals served
ia.•,00ps and other government pas-
8engers during transport service
alone outlines the magnitude of
Canadian Pacific sea operations,
until now cloaked by secrecy.
Special movements have in-
cluded: Arabian kings and high
dignitaries for Mediterranean
conferences, 59,000 German and
Italian prisoners of war for Can-
ada, 23,000 native troops halfway
round Africa at the critical point
of that campaign and Newfound-
land lumberjacks for war job
hi Britain.
The toll among seagoing per-
sonnel was 272 known killed and
155 missing or prisoners of war.
Eleven vessels, of 193,000 ton-
nage, were sunk by the enemy
while one other, the Beaverhill,
was victim of a marine accident
in 1944.
Vessels lost represented more
than half the 338,000 gross tons
made available to the Admiralty
in 20 Canadian Paeific ships
from Atlantic and Pacific ocean
and B r i fish Columbia coast
service.
Still serving in the Battle of
Supply from that original allot-
ment of 20 ships are; Three Em-
presses—Australia, one of three
Canadian Pacific ships which
shared the movement of the First
Division from Halifax in Decem-
ber of 1939; Scotland, (renamed
from Japan), flagship of all
peacetime services on the Pacific;
Russia, which also served in
World War I. Two Duchesses-
Richmond and Bedford, One
Princess — Kathleen, Two Monts
-- Montcalm, now converted into
a fleet auxiliary 'repair ship
which might well be in a "supply
train" in the mounting Battle of
the Pacific; and Montclare, both
under direct Admiralty operation,
•
Those sent to the bottom by
Germans, Japs or Italians were:
In 1940: The 42,500 -ton Empress'
of Britain, largest merchant ship
sunk during the war; Montrose,
sailing as H.M.S. Forfar, an arm-
ed merchant cruiser, at her
death; Beaverford, which took up
the inunortal Jervis Bay's fight
in the convoy attacked by the Ad-
miral Scheer; and Beaverburw.
1941 — Beaverdale and Beaver -
brae. 1949 — Princess Margue-
rite, seagoing "troop taxi" in
helping line up troop dispositions
for Montgomery's Alamein push;
Duchess of Atholl and Empress
of Asia. 1949 — Duchess of York,
sunk by Focke-Wulf bombers off
Spain; and Empress of Canada.
Conspicuous service in these
actions by Canadian Pacific offi-
cers and men had resulted in the
award of 74 decorations when the
report was made.
