It will be much the name as though some individual or small group was rntrustud with the task of regulating the weather. . But still it would help if someone was given the job of explaining to these people why this or that is done. - And so it goes. The engineer. a cautious man. if ever the“ on» one. doesn't want the take full this first year anyway. He is probably right. but someone should explain that to Waterloo. As for the five dams. that plan was 'ehanged when such an ideal site tor a big dam was found near Fergus-but nobody has told Waterloo about that either, though readers of the News-Record (and of some other papers in the valley) knew it long ago. As a matter of record, the dam did hold back six extra feet of water during lust week's deluge. oven with the gates open-mot that Waterloo cart-s. claiming to have m- ttood problem.

Nobody has -told them that the rails of the CPR. track still lie in the valley where the lake would be, and must be rescued before the gates are closed-and nobody seems to have told the officers of the Commission that the frost has boon out of the ground for a long time now. and the, rails (‘I-uld easily he lifted any time.

Canada is becoming one of 1hr grout ship producing countries at the. world. and due to the war this great industrial development should continue because we have everything here with which to ma- nufacture peace-time needs, and we will have a great army of skilled workers. Munbi-rs of the Committee were tremendously impressed with the work which girls are doing in these plants. They are operating ma- chines which one would have thought a girl could not handle. A great many of these girls have taken matriculation and some are college graduates. The plants are so constructed that nothing is left undone for the comfort of the em- phyecs and in every instance their contentment with conditions was noticeable. The industries we visited mann- fucture cverything from a [an weighing three or tour pounds to the anti-aircraft guns which with the carrier weigh six or seven, (housand pounds. The unfortunate thing about this whole picture is that all this effort. skill and inge- nuity is going into the manufacture of something which is made only lo destroy. This week I had the ihviteee of xututing some of the most outstand- ing arms plants we have in Canaan In fact one of them is the largest of its kind in the allied nations. The work which is being done is amazing. We are turning out in Canada, not only for ourselves and Great Britain but for all the allied nations. some of the finest guns that are made.
