ISSUE 13—'1244 �'S G y.z ,kn i s ones To Relieve Strain This year with the war in a criticalphase, gardens and garden ing are needed more than ever, Not only are they needed for providing essential food, but also aa a use- fol and pleasaut recreation open to every citizen of the Dominion, In the spring one turns naturally to gardening. Digging in the soil, solving seeds and watching plants develop provides a welcome and needed change when -teesiou Was never greater, and when many Of. our normal recreations may be no longer possible. Good Seed There is not a substitute for good seed. Other factors may be be- yond control but the gardener has absolute check over this foundation. \Vithoiit good seed the garden is going to be a failure. Sow Grass Early .Any yore with intros should be started just as quftl:ly in the spring as possible. This does }rat mean that the soil should be worked while it is still wet. But once one can walk over the ground without get- ting his shoes muddy, then the rake can be brought into play, In both new lawns or in patch - eking, the soil should be raked fine and revel, .Authorities advise sow- ing only the highest quality of seed mixtures, as thick as directions specify and, of course when there is no wind flawing. Both new and old lawns benefit from rolling while the ground is still soft, Grass, like any other plant, needs good soil and an an- nual application of fertilizer is ad- visable. This pushes growth so that many weeds are crowded out. Layouts The most effective layout of flowers, lawns and shrubbery, for the average gardener, is an informal one. That is, curved paths and borders rather than straight lines. But when we put in these curves, especially in paths, landscape ex- perts say, we must be sure to make a reason for them otherwise the whole effect will be artifical. At the bend in the driveway or path, therefore, it is well to Have a tree or a group of shrubs or a flower bed. In screening, it is not necessary nor desirable to cover the whole of fence, wall or garage unless the same is unsightly. Much more pleasing results follow where the shrubbery, vines and flowers mere- ly break the lines of the ratan -uta': structures behind then, but lea .e enough showing for contrast, VOICE PRESS O F (H E ALL HONOR TO EM Columnists stake much of the fact that a lady in Suffolk has be- come a chintneyswecp because of a shortage of manpower.

THE WAR WEEK • • Commenlary on Current Events Britai an On Irish Tr vel Necessary F i.r Safety Of Troops There }vas no 1310031 and thunder in the remarks Mr. Churchill made ,last weelc about the little neutral nation on the other side of the St. George's Channel, says the New Yorle Times. Secretary Hull show- ed the sante moderation in his cont- ments at MS press conference. Pub- lic opinion in both Countries will support these spokesmen. There can be no feeling int the United Stites or in Britain against the peo- plc of Eire. The problem, as Mr. Churchill briefly explained it, is a purely prac- tical one. As long as Axis spies, with the status of diplomats, re- main in Eire, close to the scene of preparation for the invasion of the Continent, the military plans of the United Nations are in danger of being betrayed, The Time Has Come Speaking in the House of Com- mons, Mr. Churchill said in part: "We have for some time past taken a number of measures to min= iutize the dangers arising from a substantial disservice to the Allied cause involved in the retention by Mr. de Valera's government of the German 'Minister and Japanese Consul, with their staffs, in. Dub- lin, ".The time has now conte when these measures must be strengthen- ed, and the restrictions on travel to Ireland announced in the press are the first step in a policy designed to isolate Great Britain from Sou- thern Ireland and also to isolate Southern Ireland from the outer world during the critical period which now is approaching," Affect On Union This isolation of Southern Ire- land is being undertaken in order to safeguard United Nations troops. Specifically, it must be intended to keep the Germans from knowing where, when, in what force and by what means we shall attempt to land on the European coast, Coun- less lives 'night he lost if the Ger- ,mans knew the answers. There would be bitter resentment if the answer came from Dublin. Irish- men themselves, "large numbers" of whom, as the Prince Minister says, "are fighting so bravely" in the British forces, would die on 1.110 beaches. The union of all Ire- land, which tate majority of the island's inhabitants undoubtedly de- sire, would be postponed. All the old wounds would bleed afresh. Further Action Possible The travel ban is warmly ap- proved in Britain as was the :'•,uteri - NEW RAIL BLOCK SYSTEM Signal standards at the C.P.R: s White River yard form part of the. continent's biggest wartime installation of electric automatic block safety equipment.

It brings safer, speedier operation of 30 trams daily to end .a bottleneck on 250 miles of single track between the Ontario Algoma rail towns of Chapieau and Schreiber on main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway. can mote aimed at ending Axis spy activities in Eire, writes the London correspondent of the Chris- tian Science Monitor. [inc' the 13ritish people have found it hard to tolerate a situation in which Eire has given a privileged position 10 Axis shies; notwithstanding the fact that Eire's very existence as a free nation depends on an Allied victory. The British Government's state- ment that military considerations have forced the latest move to seal off Eire has increased a sense of strained expectation which predom- inates in Britain today as prepara- tions for invasion dominate all spheres of daily life. Further Allied actions against Eire are being debated in Britain, such as closing of the border be- tween Ulster and Eire. Nor is it felt that the South Irish people can erpeet much help from Bri- tain and the United States in their present acute sliorage of such ne- cessities as coal and gasoline. Some Limited Permits All travel to and from Ireland won't cease immediately, as exist- ing short-term permits will still be valid. But in future only the high- est priority and special compas- sionate reasons will permit journeys across the Irish Cannel. Thousands of Irish hien and women serving in the forces and working in British factories will be for the time being cut off from home, Mall and phone communication will remain, but a tightening up of censorship is expected as there have been some laxities in these services. Hope For Settlement Nevertheless so long as German and Japanese representatives re- main in Dublin, the Axis has an advantage for espionage. Mr. de 'Valera said he turned down an American request for Eire to break diplomatic relations with the Axis because the Dublin Gov- ernment couldn't da so "without a complete betrayal of their demo- cratic trust" In some quarters it is still hoped that Governments of Mr. de Valera and Britain and the United States may yet find some way round the impasse and that better Irish feel - int for Britain, engendered by British toleration of Eire's neu- trality, won't suffer a setback. Farm Cash Income At New High Level Acording to .official estimates, the cash income of Canadian farmers reached a new high level in 1943 when the estimated returns from the sale of farm products totalled $1,307 million. This represents an increase of b252 million, or 25 per cent, over 1042. and is up $014 mil- lion or 93 per cent, over 1030. Higher income is reported from all provinces and with few excep- tions the increase is common to all the various sources of income. The greatest percentage increases occurred in the Prairie Provinces where, despite a reduced harvest, sales from the previous year's crop were substantial. The returns front live stock were also substantially greater in the Prairie Provinces, particularly in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Poor crops in the Eas- tern Provinces resulted in a reduc- tion in cash income from the sale of grains in these provinces but the declines were offset by greater in- come from the sale of live stock and live stock products. Super -Cleaners On Their Honor One hundred trusted women do their work admist the secrets of the Secoid Front—they are the clean- ers at Invasion Headquarters, "su- per -cleaners (who) are on their honor to say not a word about what they may see or hear as. they shrub and polish." They even have a password, "Who goes there?" a sentry demands. The magic ans. ver, "Cleaner." At least 300 enemy supply ships, were sunk by British submarines in the first three years of war.

Herat Balchen, fained flier, and Corey Ford declare in a recent issue of Collier's. They added that Nazi sub- marines had been refueled in Greenland. "You did not know—the facts could not be revealed until now — that the Nazis had actually established a foothold on this side of the Atlantic. "You did not ]snow, all last year, that their planes were flying within bombing distance of the shores of North America. Their submarines, refueling in Green- land's silent fiords, were striking at will at our convoys to England and Murmansk. "Their welt -_quipped weather station, on tate Island's undefended east coast, was in daily radio communication with Berlin," Messrs. Balellen and Ford said weather information from Green- land "enabled the trapped Scharn- ltorst (German battleship since destroyed in a sea battle) and Gneisenau to slip out of harbor, under cover of heavy fog, and pass-- unmolested ass^unmolested within 15 miles of the ' Dover Coast."
