Railways Play Prominent'
Part In Canada's Welfare
Celebration' of the centenary of
railway operation in Canada,which
takes place in July this year, is of
more than passing interest to Cana-
dians, since it is' a celebration also
of the real beginning of the develop-
ment of Canada. In addition to serv-
ing' the various territories, the rail-
ways fill animportant place in the
Dominion's economic welfare.' Jointly
they employed more. than 120,-

manufactured articles.' Today, de-
spite all challenges of new forms • of
transportation, the' railways remain-
the,everyday, all-weather servant of
;the Canadian people, providing' ef-
ficient transportation service without
which progress and development
',would be impossible,
