In inc opinion of or. Donald Gor Don president of the or the Only smurf passenger service appears so Fae in relatively Jihor Between cities but or. Ian Warren general passenger traffic manager for the says that trains Are used More and More Lor both Long and Short hauls there must surely be Many travellers who Hope that or. Gordon s pessimism is unjustified and that Canada s crack transcontinental trains of both railroads will continue to Thunder across the continent Lor Many years to Corne. True air travel has made Large inroads into Long distance passenger traffic and with the Advent of giant Jet trans ports Impact will be even greater. Bat that is not to say that in future few people will want to travel across Canada by train. There Are still people for whom a journey by air is a bit like a visit to the dentist demoting to be gotten Over with As quickly possible. Whereas a Long trip on a train Means Days of unalloyed enjoyment. The pleasures of Tram travel Are Many and varied. A feeling of Well being and relaxation attends a Long train journey. One May have troubles in the City one has ust left one May have problems waiting at the destination that lies ahead. But in tween nothing can be done. The train As it Clacks through the Yards becomes a Little world in at Oil from everyday me and its cares. This splendid isolation extends to the passengers. Atiq Nevite docs not de Mand that one be sociable. One can be As Friendly with one s neighbors or As withdrawn As one wishes in a recent column or. Greg Clark told of a lawyer Friend who when work piles up too High on his desk in an Eastern City pushes it into a Brief Case reserves a train bedroom to Van Couver and return and quietly works his Way across the continent and Back without fear of interruption. And of course from the windows of a Railroad coach is the Only Way to Canada. The View from an automobile is limited particularly for the Driver. The View from the while extensive is hurried and two dimensional the loftiest Mountain is flattened the broadest River reduced to a thin White thread. But from a train window one can watch effortlessly the Panorama of Canada unwind at a civilised Pace and one need miss none of it even for meals. If passenger trains were to disappear with them would go much of the color and drama of life. Take farewells. The most deeply Felt partings in literature and in real life Are those that take place in railway Matins. That is not True of airports where goodbyes arc casual affairs possibly because we know that the traveller will in Many cases a at his or her destination not Long after we ourselves have returned Home. But a Farewell in a railway station has about it an anguished finality the feeling that this is goodbye for Long time to come. Trains occupy a particularly warm Niche in the heart of anyone who was brought up on the Prairies. Those of us who May have come from a Small Prairie town with a once or twice a week service will never forget the feeling of expectancy on train night when we wandered with the rest of the town Down to meet the train nor the feeling of Lone Liness that swept Over us As its red Tail lights disappeared into the night. And How Many of us today can halt at a level crossing to watch a flyer Pound through and not be moved by an inner restlessness for faraway places _ nor has the changeover from steam to diesel made much difference to this feeling. True a diesel lacks the grim majesty of a giant steam engine and a diesel s Horn defy ing All efforts to improve it remains a travesty of. A real train whistle. But no matter what is up front sleek diesel or puffing Steamer the thrill of Riding in a Tram a thrill that goes Back to the Days when we were very Young re Nathaniel Hawthorne who that Raj roads positively the greatest Blessing that the Ages have wrought out for ii i to be hoped that there will Al want to the t air notwithstanding some people who in go along Wuhu Lawthorp and trains.

He wishes he had known then something of the drama tic history of the Region. Homesteader s sons were cheated a past because settlement was discontinuous. The mount ies had left. Fort Walsh be fore the cowboys entrenched themselves and there was Little or no Contact Between Cowboy and homesteader. This is a Good Point. I was brought up on the Side of the Saskatchewan Alberta Boundary in historic country too but bore was nobody around who could toll me. Only when i became a coun try school of Acher at the Ripe of is and had to dig up some local history to Leach my pupils did i become acutely aware that there was virtually no history available in the District itself.

This announcement was Marie by or. Don Paarlberg assistant Secretary of agr Cul lure.

Our special Export pro Grams past present and prospective Are based on a fundamental proposition some times expressed but More of ten said or. Pearl Bei g.

Therefore the need for some Means of orderly utilization of those surpluses is Likely to be with us for at least the next several he claimed that the United states had Mel with consider Able Success in carrying out i ins surplus disposal program while causing a mini Orrum of disruption 1o Normal world Trade the pare polu a followed by the United states he explain by m. F.

The wheat which moves through our Spe Cial Export outlets is program med in addition to Normal com Mercial marketing our Spe Cial Export programs have reduced the stocks which hang Over the Market and have con Tribulee to Price stability. Both of these developments Are in our interest and in the inner est of All other wheat Export ing during the four years in which Public Law 480 has operated there have been Hie following sales of United Sta Tes wheal in Foi Eizun markets sales for local recipient Nalinnes if. For some Good reason it becomes Neces sary to end it Are we Over committing the unit a he asked. If while supplying wheat under special Export we should fail to help recipient govern ments to if their own Levels of production sufficiently we might then have acquired a Large permanent Relief such a development would help neither like United states nor the nation receiving the help. Yet the Hazard is great. During the next five years the population in the Low income countries of the free world May Rise by Ai much As 100 million people said or.

Besides the Indian Rock rings there were Boulder mosaics sunk flush with the Prairie Wool which carpeted the Plains in wiry Tufts. These mosaics must have been made hundreds of question As to How much sur plus can actually be distributed abroad without seriously Popa Drizing Nunnal Commer Cial Trade he never attempted an answer at All. The most by would do in at tempting what he railed a fair j is to suggest that after four years of Large scale surplus disposal activity by the United states neither the High est Hopes nor the worst fears have been realized.

In All this time not a Bushel of United states wheat has moved into Export without Soine form of government or. Paarlberg tried to justify this policy by pointing out that the Export pricing Fol Lowed by the ten Teil states has contributed significantly to stability in Dollar markets Lor wheat.

Or Paarlberg frankly admitted that there Are grave dangers to the United Sta Tes in these special Export Prog rams. The continuation. Of these programs for example May delay needed adjustments in prices and production. Why make needed changes in wheat legislation it Public Law 480 can be to move the surpluses Why improve production techniques abroad if the needed food can be obtained on a concessionary basis from the United states there is also the question of How lilo Export program might be withdrawn what effects this would cause among Case shocks West Germany by Sebastian Haffner and prosecuting authorities alleged some former Gestapo did Noah my.

But nol All Are innocent and it is a terrifying thought that nobody who enters an office a Law court or a doctor s consult ing room can Ever be quite sure in Advance that he is not meeting a murderer.

People sentenced Tor War crimes by Allied courts have come. This mixture of misplaced sentimentality and sullen spite contrasts oddly with die con Stant official verbal condemnations of Hitler Ite crimes. It is not As if. The condemnations of nazi atrocities were not in. Theory quite sincere Only in practice the decent people in Germany have lamentably failed to sort out the murderers from among them selves and Are still failing to do so. Again and Aga Iii there arise cases of persons whom after Many year s of High respect ability Are suddenly revealed As major criminals quite by Chance. And one must uncomfortably conclude that for every Case thus revealed there May be dozens still undetected. We sympathise wire native aspirations m Tho Middle East a few weeks ago a trial at Ulm revealed quite by Chance the fact that a senior police official who appeared As a witness had himself taken a leading part in the mass shoot ing of jews in Lithuania which was the subject of the trial. He was arrest end and committed suicide soon afterwards. But for Many years up to that moment he had been a senior police official and he might still have this position today but for what was to him an unlucky Chance.
