With the disastrous Manitoba
floods still vivid in most people's
minds a few words about water
control and drainage might not be
amiss. The control of water has
long been recognized as a responsi-
bility of not only the state but tiie
individual as well. Almost four hull-
dred years before the birth of
Christ the great Greek philosopher
Plato wrote in his "Laws" the fol-
lowing:
* * *
"If there be a heavy rain and
one of -those on the lower ground
injures some tiller of the upper
ground or some one who has a Com-
mon wall refuses to give his neigh-
bour an outlet for water; or, again,
if some one living on the higher
ground recklessly lets off the water
on his lower neighbour, and they
cannot come to terms with one an-
other let him, if he will, summon
the offender, if he be in the city
before the warden of the city and
if he be in the country before the
warden of the country, and let him
obtain a decision determining what
each of them is to do. And he who
will not abide by the decision shall
suffer for his morose and malignant
temper, and pay a fine equivalent
to double the value of the injury,
because he was unwilling to sub-
mit to the magistrates."
Most countries at some time or
another have assisted farmers in
the drainage of low land; or the
government itself has undertaken
the drainage of certain areas so
that they could be developed for
agricultural purposes. Here in
Canada all the provinces have one
or more acts on the statutes de-
signed to assist farmers by one
method or another in the drainage
of agricultural land; and several
Departments of Agriculture have
additional policies that provide even
further assistance to the individual
farmer.
Most of the Canadian drainage
acts now in effect reseumble those
of our own province, While On-
tario has five acts, the purposes
of them are two -fold. The first is
to enable a group of farmers to
secure an outlet; and the second
is to provide loans, at low interest
rates, for the construction of drains.
* # *
1, Municipal Drainage Act—
.Makes it possible to secure outlets
for Iarge areas. The work is gen-
erally carried on by the municipal
council when they are petitioned to
do so by a group of farmers. An
engineer is appointed who makes a
survey and estimates cost. The
cost is assessed to all benefiting
from the project.

"There is still a • baseball field
games record held by all Australian
that has defied the best efforts of
American and other amateurs. That
is the long distance baseball throw
held by Torn Geegan (Sydney, New
South Wales), who just failed to
reach the best professional throw
of 426ft. 91/2in, by Sheldon Lejeune
(at Evansville way. back in 1910).
In 1948, Geegan threw 425ft ]lin,
His team-mates that year also creat-
ed a world record of 1,1921t, gin.
Jack Rowley topped the "400" with
401.9 atld Henry Brown complet-
ed the trio with 365.2ft,"
"Will some baseballer some day
propel a baseball (without arti-
ficial aid, such as a baseball club)
over 500 feet? Given the man, the
time and the opportunity—maybe."
(Which will have to be the encs
)f our story of baseball field games
is played—by correspondence we
magiile—between students in Cali-
ornia and those in Ausralia and
New Zealand. We can only say
hat we wish the writer had seen
it to end on a slightly more hopeful
cote regarding the possibilities of a
asebailer some day propelling a
aseUall(without artificial aid such
s a baseball club) over 500 feet.

ads up with a• quite discouraging
MAYBE." Personally we're almost
