The Cost of War
It is sometimes hard to appreciate
fully the extent to which recent ad-
yances in mechanization and tech-
nical improvement and other factors
have increased the cost of all articles
necessary for the equipping of an
army.
In a recent issue, U.S. News and
Norld tor-
pedo worth Report 9 points00nthat
1945 now costs
x$114,000. A mine has gone up from
$900 to $1,250. , A 500 -pound bomb
that cost $118 now takes $160. A
Garand rifle has advanced from $40
to $64, a bazooka from $36.25 to $122.
While Canadian figures would not
.necessarily be identical, they would
show approximately the same rates
pf increase.
The heavier items show the most
spectacular price rise. An anti-air-
craft gun that cost $113,000 in the
Second World War has gone up to
$275,000. The United States Army is
ordering Skysweeper gun sets at
$400,000 each to . replace 40mm.
Bofors guns that cost exactly one-
' tenth of that sum. A $60,000 med-
ium tank of 1944 is now priced at
$120,000.
A 2,400 -ton destroyer that could be
built for around $10 million would to-
day cost double that figure. There
has been an advance in jeeps from
$1,051 to $2,670, and in trucks from
$3,000 to $6,200; but in both cases the
current models are improvements.
Airplane prices have risen cor-
respondingly.
If the cost of equipping a division
is taken as the measuring stick, the
increase is even more spectacular.
American soldier's pay has gone
up. His boots and uniform cost twice
what they did. The cost of feeding
.him has nearly doubled. According
to World Report, the initial cost of
an American infantry division has
risen from $14 to $75 million; of an
armored division from $30 to $200
million.
While sinews of war purchased at
1950 prices undoubtedly are more ef-
fective, the fact remains that the
cost will result in a larger portion of
the tax dollar being required for de-
fence.

Atlantic Provinces
The entry of Newfoundland into
Confederation has resulted in a trend
towards the use of the term, "Atlan-
tic Provinces," to replace the time-
honored "Maritime Provinces,"
"Atlantic" may be a much more
accurate description of this section
of Canada. Actually, of course, eight
of the ten provinces of Canada touch
salt water and are therefore entitled
to the claim of being maritime. But
no matter how confusing it is to an
outsider, the term "Maritime Prov-
inces" to an average Canadian has
meant Prince Edward Island, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia only.
It will be interesting to see the ex-
tent to which residents of the prov-
inces concerned accept the break
from the traditional. If the new
term gains general acceptance, will
they be known as "Atlanticers,"
rather than "Maritimers" as in the
past?

We may be a little late but that
fact does not lessen the sincerity' of
our congratulations to the Zurich
Herald, which last month marked
the fiftieth anniversary of its found-

the hands of its present editor and
publisher, Chester L. Smith, since
1920.
In commencing, as it is, its second
fifty years, we know the Herald will
continue to serve its subscribers and
the Zurich district in the same effici-
ent manner as has featured the first
fifty years of its existence. -
What Other • Papers Say:
True Economy
(Leamington Post and News)
True economy does not consist in
slashing expenses right and left. It
is economy to cut off wasteful ex-
penditure and expenditure for things
that are not needed or are not nec-
essary, but it is not economy to stop
spending for things that are needed
and things that are useful. Wouldn't
it be better to drop this word econ-
omy and substitute therefore the
term "wise spending?"

Concession Names
(The Dutton Advance)
The suggestion made at County
Council sessions that roads of Elgin
be named and signs erected is a good
one. Other counties have been busy
with such a plan for some time and
Elgin does not want to be left behind
in this regard. It would bq, much
easier to remember township thor-
oughfares if they were referred to
as Smith or Brown street instead of
the 4th or some other concession.
Moreover, it would be a means of
honoring some of the older families
who have been Dunwich residents
for many years and have done much
toward its- development.

Requiem for aGhostTown
der Bessie F. Wallace)(By F. Wallace)
It was a glorious Sunday after -1 dist Church there. Away there on
noon in September as we left
Grand Forks, B.C., with our host
as guide to climb the beautiful,
circuitous road that wound for
twenty miles up the mountainside
to an altitude of over 4,000 feet
and led to Phoenix, Ghost Town
of the Rockies. A wonderful pan-
orama of contrasts greeted the
eye; rugged mountains altercated
with beautiful valleys that glowed
in the autumn sunshine, revealing
gorgeous gardens of flowers and
vegetables._ As we drove higher
and higher, the road became steep-
er and steeper, circling the moun-
tain top, and then, Suddenly, there
was the ghost of Phoenf , all that
was left of the bustling mining
town that thirty years ago mixed
more ore than all •the other exist -
ant mines of Canada combined.
As we trailed, along over remn-
ants of ,sidewalks wed roadbeds of
the two railroads that once served
the community, the Canadian Paci-
fic and the Great Northern, we
viewed the silent ruins of the erst-
while town. We were fortunate in
having as our host and guide, one
of the- pioneers of Phoenix, who
lived there during the heyday
years of its prosperity, publishing
its newspaper, The Phoenix Pio-
neer.
But, before taking us over the
ruins, our guide led us to the beau-
tiful granite cenotaph on the crest
of the mountain, erected to the
memory of the soldiers from the
town who had paid' the supreme
sacrifice in the First Great War.
A large Union Jack still fluttered
in the breeze, as 'one has fluttered
for maYly years. The erection of
this cenotaph was unique in many
ways. It was not built by the peo-
ple of Phoenix, for by the time it
was erected the town no longer
existed, and the families of the
men whose heroism it commemor-
ated had long removed from the
district. It was erected as a beau-
tiful gesture of remembrance by
the veterans and citizens of the
neighboring City of Grand Forks,
who made the long pilgrimage up
the mountainside for its unveiling,
and who, yearly, return to replace
the Union Jack. It would almost
seem as if, when the Last Post
was sounded on that memorable
day of dedication, it was not mere-
ly a memorial to the soldiers alone,
but a requiem for the town itself
—a sister -town stricken in its
prime, and fallen by the wayside.
As we reverently read the inscrib-
ed names, our guide quietly com-
mented: "I knew them all—every
one of them."
As we gazed over the silent deso-
late area, not one building stand-
ing intact, and very few standing
at all, it was difficult to picture a
town of sufficient population to
send troops of such proportions
that so many of their number
would never return. But Phoenix,
in those days, had a population of
3,000 people, practically all adults,
and mostly men. It had up-to-date
municipal services, stores of every
description, dairies, churches,
school, hospital, tennis courts,
skating ring, movie theatre and
twenty-nine hotels! We leave it
to the reader's imagination what
the town must have been like in
those days, when some 2,00'0 or
2,500 miners received their wages
on pay-day!
"There is the old community
tennis court," he continued; "the
athletic grounds were away up on
yon hill—it was the only field big
enough and flat enough for the
sports. Today the sole inhabitant
is a solitary recluse, an English-
man, W. H. •Banbury. graduate of
Oxford University, 75 years old,
who lives in a habitable corner of
a partially intact building that at
one time was a beautiful, commod-
ious house, the home of a bank
manager."
Our guide remembered the town,
every site, every ruin, and pointed
out: "There is where the school
stood; yonder is the wreckage of
the hospital; that was the Angli-
can Church; the Presbyterian Kirk
was up that street, and the Metho-
No Entrance Exams
(Fergus News -Record)
In the old days, boys and girls who
could not learn enough to pass ex-
aminations, stayed in the lower
grades and possibly did not get out
of public school until the age of 16,
when they automatically quit school,
probably disgusted with themselves
and'' the whole system. High school
teachgrs never had to struggle with
the dumbest ones. - The new system
will automatically push them ahead
at a certain age. That will be much
more pleasant for the duller boys and
girls, for they will be with others
more or less their own age. Whether

Your left is what is left of the
Roman Catholic Church. Yonder
was the residence of Dr. McLean,
at one time Premier of British
Columbia, and farther to your left
lived Judge Williams, a brother-in-
law
rother-inlaw of Sir Donald Mann. Judge
Williams was very tall and thin
and could fully justify his claim
that `he was the highest judge of
the highest court of the highest
city of the highest province in the
Dominion of Canada.'
"The railway station was there,
and on this corner was the East-
ern Townships Bank with a haber-
dashery next, and after that was
my brother John's drug store."
We saw the wreckage of im-
mense bridges that. once spanned
the ravines, now lying a jumble of
timbers at the bottom of the gulch-
es. A part of the old Granby Of-
fice was still standing and we saw
rows and rows of office pigeon-
holes, still in good order. Next,
we went to the section where the
mines had been located. The tim-
bers of many of them were still in
evidence; occasionally there was
a runway where the ore -cars had
run along carting out the ore. We
saw great yawning chasms or
"glory -holes" that 'had once been
mines. One was 'large enough to
entirely engulf a town ok/seven
thousand people, buildings and all
Some of the shaftings and pipings
for compressed air still remain.
From a main tunnel a blast of cold
air could be felt for many feet. I
stepped from the sunshine, inside
the tunnel for onebrief moment.
It was sold, idy, deadly cold—the
entrance to a series of tunnels
that extended ten miles through
the bowels of old deserted •mines.
Part of an old sign that must have
been there for thirty years, warn-
ed visitors that they entered the
tunnel at their own risk. All about,
the rocks sparkled in the slanting
sun with deposits of copper and
iron pyrites—"fool's gold" as it is
called—and it was with difficulty
I was restrained from loading us
all down with fragments of these
beautiful ores.
As we stood there our guide out-
lined some of the town's history.
The first prospectors reached the
site in 1891; the first railroad came
in 1299, and gradually the settle-
ment grew. Finally• the Granby
Company bought out the claims
and commenced producing copper
on a large scale and the town grew
rapidly. But in 1910 came the de-
structive fire that played such
havoc to the mines and town. Here
our guide reminisced: "I was vis-
iting in Toronto when the fire oc-
curred and the first intimation I
got of it was when I received a
telegram from the publishers of the
neighboring Rossland paper 'plac-
ing all the facilities of his printing -
plant at my disposal as long as I
needed them.' Naturally, I was
puzzled to know what it was all
about, but I was soon to learn of
the conflagration that had com-
pletely wiped out a large portion
of the town, including my printing
plant and office."
•But, true to her name, Phoenix
arose from her ashes, and rebuilt
herself. and prospered greatly for
almost another decade, until, in
1919, it received its deathblow. A
few years earlier the Granby Com-
pany had acquired, up the coast,
beyond Vancouver, larger and
higher -assaying nines with fully
up-to-date equipment and larger
smelter; now they decided to
abandon the Phoenix mines, whose
machinery had become obsolete.
And as the Granby Company
went, so went the ininers; the
townspeople scattered—what was
there to hold them?—and very
quickly Phoenix became deserted,
the ghost town that it is today.
The buildings gradually collapsed,
were removed or purloined or al-
lowed to fall into useless debris,
and today one lone hermit is all
that is left of the three thou-
sand inhabitants that once made
Phoenix the liveliest mining camp
in Canada.
SERE'S HEALTH
Developing Dairy Heifers
Every dairyman realizes the im-
portance of rearing dairy calves
well, but too few take time to
think about developing them later
on as heifers. In a great many
cases, well started calves are turn-
ed out and roughed through a sum-
mer or winter, just to make room
for their younger sisters in the
stable. More care in feeding and
management of these young fe-
males 'at this particular stage will
help to bring out the best in the
individual and enable her to be-
come a worthwhile addition to the
milking herd after calving.
Good pasture solves the feeding
problem in part, but it often re-
quires a supplement such as
crimped oats or even some good
quality mixed hay to grow and
condition heifers from six months
to one year. As yearlings, pasture
is adequate feed if it is plentiful,
axd water, salt and shade are pro-
vided with it. Stabled yearlings
make excellent gains on good
quality hay alone, or when It is
fed with silage, and water and salt
are provided. In winter, too, heif-
ers may be turned loose In a rough
shed and grown with less' labor
and cost than when tied up, These
sheds should give shelter from the
wind and yet and plenty of man-
ger space should be available for
the roughage feeds which can be
ir6 front of the heifers at all times.

supplemental feeds if they have
plenty of good hay or pasture to
eat. Occasionally a conditioning
ration such as three parts crimp-
ed oats, one part bran and one
part oilcake may be fed to bring
thinner heifers into flesh if their
hay or pasture is poor. Fall fresh-
ening heifers with two months on
good aftermath grass also come to
calving in good shape.
At the Experimental Station,
Fredericton, N.B., where heifers
are fed liberally, records kept for
an eleven -year period show the av-
erage consumption of the various
feeds for 73 Holsteins from birth
to two years and eight months of
age to be: whole milk, 387 pounds;
skim -milk and fat substitute, 3,289
pounds; meal, 975 pounds; silage,
2.04 tons; hay, 2.93 tons; roots,
1.19 tons; pasture, 273 days.
Applying local feed prices to
these figures will show that the
cost of feeding heifers well, is not
much greater than the cost of a
minimum feeding program. •
This better feeding program re-
sults in big, deep -bodied, strong
and healthy heifers. These well-
developed heifers . make the best
cows.
