This, it is pointed put, doesn't' mean that an election yrill definitely 13e held in the near tare. You see, a large number of Canucks are with British and: other Allied units in every, theatre of war, and unless the special. officers are on the job in the voting territories quite a time before a general election is ordered', necessary arrangements couldn't. be made. Church .groups-ia- Canada, with a, realistic and 'patriotic foresight are taking cognizance of the fact that over sixteen thousand Canadian sol- diers have married British girls and that their coming here to live, will have' an impact on our church life. Churchwomen of Ottawa, for instance have issued an appeal to British war brides, printed on an attractive card, from which we quote lust one pare- nraph: "We do hope that you and your husband will talk things over together and will together decide on a church 'home where you can wor- ship and work as a family. It would be such a help to you ad to us if you would at once make, yourself known to -the local church of year choice. We pray that you may both find the courage and wisdom that you need for these difficult days and for the days of peace fors which we all long," * * Economists of the Dominion Depart - Ment of Agricultare seem to fear an- other farm land boom is in the mak- ing and are warning farmers about what happened in the last war and after. It is pointed out firma' land values 'are on the upgrade again; The Dominion Bureau of Statistics claims the average value of farm Jand across Canada, which was $24 in, 1935 and 1940,. hie .risenata 429, ia 1943There is a moderate land boom in all pro- vinces except Saskatchewan and pos- sibly British Columbia. It is desir- able that there will 'be recovery from the' low leyels of the 30's but specula.: tion in wartime, they warn, is an-. other thing. Land rose to $48 an, acre in 1920, but 15 years later was selling for half the price. * * A feature of the government bill in- troduced in the IlOnse. of 061in:eons on veterans' insurance is that those. who served in this 'war would, be able to get up to $10,000 insurance with- out medical examination at premium rates slightly lower than those charg- ed by insurance companies for ntna Participating iniarance. -The maxi- mum of '$10,000 is just donble 'that allowed under an act passed. for veter- ans of the last great war. .' — • ' Many rural women are' operating the aafaily, car these days. 'Thus for their guidance the Consumer Branch passes 'along a word of counsel on the new ruling on selling a• car or .trading it in on another one. The plaice asked for sale of a car, or paid for purchase of one, niust be not more' than that authorized by the Wartime Prices and Trade. Board. Moreover, the price must be based one con- dition of the car and if it' is 'not in reassembly good shape, reduction from the ceiling price- must be allow- ed at the tim,e of sale. 'A statement sighed by both the seller. and buyer must be filed within four days of the - date of sale with the nearest office of the W.P.T.B., where ' forms are available. -For the protection of any- one buying a used car, all- mOdels must be tagged 'with a label giving a gomplete: description of the vehicle and the sale price. , * * The Special Products Board wants to set right a possible '.roiscOncePtion governing the sale by the producer of seeds of alfalfa, red. Clover, -alsike clover, and alsike-whiteclover mix- tures. They explainthat maximum retail prices only have been set. These retail ceilings govert sales by one producer to' another,' but other- wise there is no set price to the pro- ducer.
