“The Antarctic
BECAUSE OF CANADA'S geographical position the people of this country have considerable knowledge of the nature of the area around the Arctic circle and are familiar with its economic and strategic significance. At the other extremity of the globe lies the Antarctic, which is likewise an interesting and important region and it has recently been predicted that 1950 will in all probability see the greatest activity in Antarctic exploration in the present century. ‘The continent known as Antarctica covers some 6,000,000 square miles and at the present time at least ten countries are believed to be interested in it for purposes of scientific study, whale fishing or territorial expansion.
2 Foremost among the countries interested in the early U.S. Plans To investigation of the southern continent is the United ‘ ‘States. It is understood that an expedition may be
Send Explorer formed under the direction of Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd who for many years has been a leading figure in Antarctic exploration and scientific research. The forthcoming expedition would be concerned with naval and air training problems and scientific study. The British also plan to make routine visits and to carry out scientific research at five small meteorological bases in the Falkland Island dependencies. France is another nation now planning to send an expedition: there in the coming year.

November of this year and to remain until Jan- Are Interested uary, 1952. ‘Their activities will be centred in Queen Maude Land, in an area claimed by Norway in 1939, and their re- search will be in geology ’and meteorology. Other nations sending parties to Antarctica next year include Argentine and Chile, Japan, the Nether- lands, Norway, the Union of South Africa, and Soviet Russia, A number of these countries have sent whaling expeditions in the past year, and plan to continue these operations. The results of the forthcoming explorattons and scientific studies will doubtless add much to our knowledge of that great and remote region, while the whaling activities will benefit those countries which participate. The United States has, in the past, Suggested that the area should be internationalized but so far this proposal has not met with widespread favour. However, the activity and interest which is anticipated in the coming year may give rise to some international plan regarding the future of the Antarctic.

Dutch Farmers To Settle In -Alberta Next Year
EDMONTON,—Dr. . Tuinman of Ottawa, agricultural agd immigra- tion attache at the Nethérlands em- bassy, announced that the movement of Dutch families to Alberta next year would total 2,000. He estimated that 10,000 Hollanders would settle in Canada compared with 7,000 dur- ing this year. Since the Second Great War more than 20,000 have come to Canada.
The newcomers, Dr. Tuinman said, would be independent farmers but owing to restrictions on the move- ment of capital, they would be pre- vented from bringing funds with which to buy land and consequently would be employed in various labor- ing lines, hoping to accumulate funds that would help them to ac- quire permanent holdings.
The attache, during his western visit, discussed trade situations and the possibilities for greater markets for Dutch exports, remarking that if Canada would purchase more Dutch manufactured goods, then the Neth- erlands would be in a position to buy Canadian wheat and other products.

Duck Production Being Increased
WINNIPEG.—Man’s work, coupled with nature’s bounty, has been grad- ually increasing duck production from’ the low (of . the early ’30's, George R. Fanset of Winnipeg, gen- eral manager of Ducks ‘ Unlimited (Canada), told the opening session of the 39th annual convention ‘of the International Association of Game, Fish and Conservation Commission- ers. He claimed a substantial in- crease in duck production has taken place this year despite drought con- ditions ‘over a large part of the prai- ries.

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Bill Ken- nedy, president of the Regina Rac- ing Pigeon club, sold a pigeon in 1947 to A. J. McGregor of London, Ont., 1,600 miles east of Regina. The bird arrived back in Regina six months later. :
In February of this year, Mr. Ken- nedy tried again. He sold the pigeon

Grain Supplies Brighter Than First Estimate
OTTAWA—Canadian._ supplies of coarse grains in 1949-50 may be somewhat brighter than indi- cated in the early estimates of production, the Bureau of Statis- tics reports.
In its quarterly review of the coarse grain situation, the bureau said its August 16 preliminary esti- mate was based on conditions July 31, when harvesting of Spring grains had not yet become general in major producing areas.
“The outlook may be considerably ehanged, when the second estimate of Canada’s 1949 grain production is is- sued September 15.”
Lack of adequate rainfall over fairly large sections of Alberta, Saskatchewan ‘and Ontario during | the critical germination and growing periods reduced yields considerably in the more seriously -affected areas.
However, yields of Spring grains in many sections of Ontario were con- siderably above earlier, expectations and results of the actual harvesting operations in Western Canada could
‘|change the over-all supply picture
considerably, the report said, ;
The 1948-49 crop provided for a carry-over July 31 of 59,000,000 bush- els of oats and 29,000,000 of barley, bringing expected .supplies for the new crop year to 376,000,000 for oats and 156,000,000 for barley.
Prospective fodder supplies for 1949-50 are well below those -of 1948- 49, the report said. One compensat- ing factor will»be the generally ex- cellent fodder corn crop which will help improve the situation on many dairy farms.

G ror RANDOLPH lay staring at the ceiling, his mind hover- ing on sleep, That Agnes Davidson, George thought, she’s the talking-est woman. Now that Jane’s got me to buy that television set, I suppose the Davidsons will be dropping in every night. Why the devil did I let Jane talk me into the thing?
George’s eyes fluttered shut and his mind began to teeter over the brink.
“George!” It was Jane, in a sharp whisper,
“Huh?” George responded sleepily.
“Get up! There’s somebody down- stairs.” Then George. heard it too, in the living-room,
George slipped out of bed to the closet. Carefully he lifted out his shotgun, reserved for rare days of duck hunting, and chambered a shell. He held the gun in the folds of a suit hanging in the closet as he snap- ped it shut with a muffled click,
Moving cautiously, he stepped out into the hall and went to the stairs. There he halted and listened. Then he again heard-the footsteps.
Holding his gun ready, George de-~ scended. At the bottom step he ran his hand» along the wall untib -he found the light switch. Nothing hap- pened. The room remained in dark- ness. * :
Immediately there flashed across George’s mind the recent headlines in the papers: “PHANTOM BURG- LAR. STRIKES AGAIN!” The burg- lar who uns¢rewed all the light bulbs so he could escape in the dark.
The -man now in the dining-room must have heard the switch. George could sense him moving towards the living-room. The sweat trickled into
pajamas sticking to his back. bent at the knees-and began to creep along the wall.
He came up against a table with a slight bump. -His hand ran across a smooth, cool sheet of glass. It was the screen on the television set!
There: was something, he thought, that he should remember. thing Jane, had told him about, then he-had it. Moving his hand by touch, he found a dial on the set and twirled_it as far as it would.go to the right. Then he located another dial, a bigger one, and turned it slowly until it clicked sharply.
