Montrool ALUM ISSUE 13--1944 Carden Notes To Relieve Strain This year with the war in a critical phase, gardens and garden- ing are needed more than ever. Not only are they needed for providing -,. essential food; but also as a use- ful and pleasant recreation open to every citizen of the Dominioe, In the spring one turns naturally to gardening, Digging in the soil, sowing seeds and watching plants develop provides a welcome and needed change when tension was never greater, and when many of our normal recreations inay be no longer possible. Good Seed There is not subrtitute for good seed. Other factors may be be- yond control but the gardener has absolute check over this foundation. Without good seed the garden is going to be a failure, Sow Grass Early Any work with lawns should be started just as giiiekly in the spring as possible. This does not mean that the soil should be worked while it is still wet. But price one tan walk over the ground without get- ting his shoes muddy, then the rake can be brought into play, In both new lawns or in patch- ching, the soil should be raked fine . and level, Authorities advise sow- ing only the highest quality of seed mixtures, as thick as directions specify, and, of course when there is no wind 1lewing. Both new and old lawns benefit from rolling while the ground is still soft. Grass, like any other plant, needs good soil and an an- nual application of fertilizer is ad- visable. This pushes growth so that many weeds are crowded out. Layouts The most effective layout of flowers; lawns and shrubbery, for the•average gardener, is an informal one. That is, curved paths and borders rather than straight lines. But when we put in these curves, especially in paths, landscape ex- perts say, we must be sure to snake' a reason for them otherwise the whole effect will be artifical. At the bend in the driveway or path, therefore, it is well to have a tree or a group of shrubs or a flower bed. In screening, it is not necessary nor desirable to cover the whole of fence, `yva11 or garage, unless the seine is ' sinsiglitty, Much more pleasing results follow where the shrubbery, vines and 'flowers mere- ly break the lines of the man -ma 'e structures behind them, but lea,e enough showing for contrast..

WEEK Commentary on Current Events Bli'itai ;'s Ban On Irish Travel Necessary For Safety Of Troops :There leas no blood and thunder an" the remarks Mr. Churchill made last week about the little neutral nation on the other side of the St.' George's Channel, says the New Y'or'k Times; Secretary Hull show- ed the same moderation in his com- ments at his press conference. Pub lie opinion in both countries will sl:Ppor•t these spokesmen. There can be no feeling in the United States or in Britain against the peo- ple of Eire, The problem, as Mr. Churchill briefly explained it, is a Purely prac- tical one. As long as Axis spies, with the status of diplomats, re- main in Eire, close to the scene of preparation for the invasion of the Continent, the military plans of the United Nations are in danger of being betrayed. The Time Has Coine Speaking in the House of Com- ' mons, Mr. Churchill said in part: "We have for some time past taken a number of measures to min - imine ,the dangers . arising from a substantial disservice to the Allied cause involved, in the retention by 'Mr. de Valera's government of the German ' Minister and; Japanese Consul, with their, staffs, in Dub- lin, "The tithe has now core when these measures must be strengthen- ed, and the restrictions on travel to Ireland announced inthe press are the first step in a policy designed to isolate Great Britain from 'Sou- thern Ireland and also 'to isolate Southern' Ireland from the -outer world during the critical 'period Which :noir is. approaching," • Affect On Union "This isolation of Southern Ire- land is being undertaken in order to :safeguard United Nations troops. y Specifically, it must be intended to "keep the Germans from knowing tiwiere, when, in what force and by what means we shall attempt to land on the European coast. Coun- less lives might be lost if the Ger- mans knew the answers. There would be bitter resentment if the answer carne from Dublin. Irish- nien themselves, "large numbers" of,';wlioni, as the Prime Minister seas, "are fighting so bravely" in the', British forces, would die on the beaches, The union of all Ire - laird, which the majority of the island's inhabitants undoubtedly de- sire, would be postponed. All the old wounds would bleed afresh. • Further Action Possible The travel' ban is warmly ap- proved in Britain as was the Anieri- NEW RAIL .J3L� SYSTE• M Signal standards at the C,P,R's White River yard form part of t ie continent's biggest wartime installation of electric automatic block safety equipment.

' can move ailed at ending Axis spy activities in Eire, writes the London correspondent of the Chris- tian Science Monitor. For the British people have found it hard to tolerate a situation in which Eire has given a privileged position to Axis spies, notwithstanding the fact that Eire's very existence as a free nation depends on an Allied victory. The British Government's state- ment that military considerations have forced the latest move to seal off Eire has increased a sense of strained expectation which predom- inates in Britain today as prepara- tions for invasio'i dominate all spheres of daily lire. Further Allied actions against Eire are being debated in Britain, such as closing of the border be- tween Ulster and Eire. Nor is it felt that the South Irish people can expect much help from Bri- tain and the United States in their present acute shorage of such ne- cessities as coal and gasoline. Some Limited Permits All travel to and from Ireland won't cease immediately, as exist- ing short-term per'nits will still be valid. But in future only the high- est priority and special compas- sionate reasons will permit journeys across the Irish Cannel, Thousands of Irish Hien and women serving in the forces and working in British factories will be for the time being cut off from home. Mail and phone communications will remain, but a tightening up of censorship is expected as there have been some laxities in these services. • Hope For Settlement Nevertheless so long as German and Japanese representatives re- main in Dublin, the Axis has an advantage for espionage. Mr, de Valera said he.. turned down an American request for Eire to break- diplomatic relations with the Axis because the Dublin Gov- ernment couldn't do so "without a complete betrayal of their demo- cratic trust." In some quarters it is still hoped that Governments of Mr. de Valera and Britain and the United States may yet find some way round the impasse and that better Irish feel - hie for Britain, engendered by British toleration of Eire's neu- trality, won't sutfer a setback. Farm Cash Income At New High Level Acording to official estimates, the eca.sh income of :Canadian farmers a •.new -high : levet .1n _ :1943: " when the estimated returns from the sale of farm products totalled $1,397 million. This represents an increase of $282 million, or 35 per -i cent, over 19.42. and is up $674 mil- lion or 93 per cent, over 1939. Higher income is reported from all provinces and with few excep- tions the increase is common to all the various sources of income, The 'greatest percentage increases occurred in ,the Prairie Provinces where, despite a reduced Harvest, sales from the previous year's crop were substantial: Th,e,,returns from live stock were :also substantially greater in the Prairie Provinces, particularly in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Poor crops in the Eas- tern Provinces resulted in a reduc- tion in cash income from the sale of grains in these provinces but the declines were offset by greater in - conte from the sale of live stock and live stock products. Super -Cleaners On Their Hnor One hundred trusted women do their work admist the secrets of the Second Front—they are the clean- ers at Invasion Headquarters, "su- per -cleaners (who) are on their honor to say not a word about what they may see or hear as they scrub and polish." They even have a password, "Who goes there?" a sentry demands. The magic ans- wer, "Cleaner." At least 300 enemy supply ships were sunk by British submarines in the first three years of war.

Force In Greenland The Germans once had an in- vasion force in Greenland and flew plrnes within bomber range of North American shores, Col. Bernt Balchen, famed flier, and Corey Ford declare in a recent issue of Collier's. They added that Nazi sub- marines had been refueled in Greenland. "You did not know—the facts could not be revealed until now — that the Nazis had actually established a foothold on this side of the Atlantic, "You did not know, all last year, that their planes were flying within bombing distance of the shores of North America, Their submarines, refueling in Green- land's silent fiords, were strilcing at will at our convoys to England and Murmansk. "Their well-equipped weather station, on the Island's undefended east coast, was in daily radio communication with Berlin." Messrs. Balchen and .
