'A 'RESULT' OF.

Here in Canada where the telephone idea was born, more
telephone calls:Per capita are made than in almost any Other
• country in ,the world. • •
Usage is surely the final test. Telephone users get the greatest
possible value for what they pay. Reasonable rates and
speedy, dependable, -courteous service—all these encourage
telephone development., 'they account for Canada's leader-
ship in the use of the telephone.

iti the next general election voting
among Canadian servicemen- overaeas
will be vapervised byseven- special
returning officers Who have already
been apPointed. 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. A grower selling seed' to a
seed dealer is free to bargain 4n the
basis of the value of his seed in re-
spect to' Condition, purity and viabil-
ity.
