Most of us think it's pretty hot when thermometers soar above 90 degrees around mid-July.Yet this is cool compared to the fierce heat of temperatures up around 2,800 degrees required by modern industrial processes.To control temperatures such as this and prevent heat losses, Johns-iManville, through years of research has developed a wide variety of scientific insulating materials.In fact, there's a J-M insulation made to solve every heat problem ranging from 400 degrees below zero to 2.800 degrees above.Today, in every type of industrial service, tnese Johns-Manville Insulations not only speed up manufacturing but save thousands of tons of coal, or the equivalent in fuel oil, every year.It you have an insulatio problem in your plant, why r.c call in a Johns-Manville Insula :ion specialist.Contact Cana Lan Johns-Manviih - Sun Lif Building.Montreal.!

but in 19 38 Britain was able to meet this deficit through income from foreign investments, shipping, insurance, etc., while in 1946 this income\u2014especially that from investments\u2014was drastically curtailed, owing to the wartime sale of investments.The deficit in balance of payments in 1946 is estimated at 450 million pounds, compared with 70 million in 1938.In 1947 it may be reduced to 350 millions, but this, serious as it is, will not be the whole story, since wartime debts and the special drain on dollars that Britain faces will add to the burden.Government and public opinion is strongly against applying for fresh loans from the United States and Canada, and it means a race between self-sufficiency and disaster.1 he national slogan today is: \"Work or want.-?- THE VISITOR INDUSTRY With the tourist season rapidly approaching, a brochure on the ' Visitor Industry issued by the Canadian Association of I ourist and Publicity Bureaus should receive special attention from all those whose duty it is to provide the visitors to Canada with a suitable welcome.The Tourist Bureau stresses the many ramifications of the Visitor Industry and its effects on Canadian economy.Among the more important features it lists: First, the Visitor Industry is an invisible export industry.It is the business of selling goods and services within Canada to people from outside Canada\u2019s borders who become | consumers while they visit us.It is the most profitable form of export trade because it involves no cost of shipment beyond our borders.Inexhaustible assets in scenery \u2014 mountains and seashores, forests, lakes and streams, picturesque roads\u2014all virtually undiminished in their ability to earn for us\u2014can be sold to our visitors, year after year, over and over again.Second, the Visitor Industry is a lucrative source of revenue for the people and the districts engaging in it, provided those people and districts bring good organization and good planning to their efforts.For the basic goods which they consume while in Canada, and for the vast array of services rendered them, our visitors pay well and will continue to pay well, just as long as the goods and services give satisfaction.Thirdly, the Visitor Industry has always ( been an important factor in the balance of international payments and, according to reliable opinion, can become Canada's greatest single source of much needed exchange, The American fourist dollar is new money in circulation\u2014as welcome today as it was in wartime.f ourthly, the Visitor Industry is a most effective means for the maintenance and prospering of the goodwill which has long obtained between Canada and the United States, \"The ceaseless shuttle of tourists across the border,\u201d as someone has aptly described it, has woven ties of mutual understanding and co-operation that make our two peoples \"the best neighbors to be found anywhere on this shrinking globe.\u201d f ifthly, the Visitor Industry can also improve upon inter-provincial relations within Canada.Inter-provincial travel is a wonderful eye-opener; a proved teacher; a tremendous instrument for breaking down of prejudice and misconceptions, finally the Visitor Industry is everyone's business.It is private enterprise, but it is also j national business.It is not a business merely of people interseted in making money.It is part of building a nation\u2014of building a happier as well as more prosperous Canada.I he value of the tourist business to Canada in 1946 was estimated at over $200,000,000 ; and there is every reason to believe that it will i jump substantially during the coming summer.SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1947.THE FLY IN THE LOVING CUP Wash ington Column BY PETER EDSON BIG FARMS OR LITTLE ONES The question of whether the federal government should be allowed to take a hand in influencing how big U.S.farms should he is at stake in a week\u2019s hearings now running before the Senate Public Lands Committee.Chairman is Hugh Butler of Nebraska.Should the government encourage the development of smaller, family-sized farms as contributing to the be.sl way of rural life?Or should the government be made to keep its hands off, allowing the highly industrialized, factory farms to grow as big as their owners want them?Specifically, this issue before the Senate is confined to a scrap over irrigation water rights in the Central Valley of California.People there are divided in two hostile camps over this question of big ranches vs, little ranches.Actually the issue is national in interest.Outcome of the California battle has a bearing on the future trend of farming throughout the West, the South, and maybe the whole U.S.Ever since tractors came into use, the trend in.American agriculture has been towards bigger but fewer fa4hi units.Back in the homesteading days Congress decided that if government money was to be spent on opening up the West, it must be for the benefit of the little people\u2014family-size farmers.Limits of a quarter-section\u2014160 acres\u2014were, therefore, put on the amount of land any homesteader could receive.When U.S.reclamation laws were written back in Theodore Roosevelt\u2019s time, this limitation was carried over.In 1926 the law was made to read that no one owner could receive water from a government irrigation project on more than 160 acres.* * * PROPOSAL HAS A CHANCE California has community property laws, so there a man can operate 160 acres in his own name, another 160 in his wife\u2019s name, and g-et water on all 320.They can own as much more land as they like, but they can\u2019t get government water on the excess acreage.To the East 320 acres is a lot of farm.But to Westerners this \"160-acre law limit,\" as it\u2019s called, is too small.They want it lifted and are using all the influence they can muster to have the reclamation laws amended.Senators Downey and Knowland of California, Millikin and Johnson of Colorado, Connally and O'Daniel of Texas have jointly introduced a bill to this end.In the House companion bills have been introduced by Congressmen Gearhart, Phillips, and Elliott of California and West of Texas.The original Central Valley application of the exemption has been broadened to take in the San Luis Valley [ project in Colorado and the Valley Gravity Canal Project in Texas.With this support the proposal conceivably has a chance, since the sentiment of this Congress is all for taking off every government control possible.Tf the 160-acre limit is killed on these three projects, however, it\u2019s as good as dead all over.* * * BIG OWNERS USE SOVIET ARGUMENT A lot of recriminations and charges of misrepresentation are thrown out by both sides.Those are pretty much local arguments, What has thrown a scare into the Bureau of Reclamation is that if the 160-acre limit were withdrawn, big operators would rush in to buy up smaller holdings.Companies like Schenley and Anderson-Clayton have in the last few years acquired big acreage in vineyards and cotton lands.Under present Bureau program, irrigation water may be furnished these big holders on more than 160 or 320 acres, but at the end of ten years the excess irrigated land must be sold.Strangest aspect of the case is that the people who want the 160-acre law repealed use the same argument which Soviet Russia used when it took away the holdings of the kulaks and small farmers and threw everything imp huge collectivist farms.Namely, the big farm is more efficient to operate.In attacking this greater efficiency argument, supporters of the present 160-acre limit law say big.mechanized factory farms tend to develop only farm laborers who are entirely dependent on the few big landowner-employers.In contrast to that, the way of life on the independent, owner-operated, familysized holding is pictured aa richer and fuller and more in keeping with American rural traditions.From The Record Files because I regard it as an act of plain justice and honor.\u201d The war in which Britain and America fought together is only a few years away.The unity thac lightened burdens and glorified partnership has left many inci- (cign Secretary, assured the Am-j dents to enrich the story of under-I crican Minister that the British j standing.But perhaps none will IN THE GREAT TRADITION 1 he Gazette\teiican .Mini.-tcr that the Lritish standing.But perhaps Mass-Observation, the British | Navy would support the United have a°'out P™-ppened to East\u2014in or-1 duction, wages, costs, prices, take-he ;
