The point is, however, that CMHC'S .spring filled darice floor and recreation building is located a mere four miles from the centre of downtown Ottawa, In such circum- :stances, the dance floor can scarcely be regarded. as other than a glaring example of waste and extravagance. Central Mortgage and ing C ion: was H to .assist people who want to build their own homes, The $2, million “home” its officials have built for themselves in Ottawa is not very satisfying to folks who haven’ t been able to scrape ‘together enough money for’a down payment on a cottage. © Preparing For Disaster It's hard to sell a a supply of. in It seems just as hard to convince people - they ‘should prepare. for possible war casualities in their district, when their country is at peace, Nobody: wants war, Nobody is predicting ‘that our eae will be at war very shortly.

That is why there is a Civil Defence organization here and in ‘Kinnaird, ’ That is why the general-public, across Canada, but especially in this district, should lend: their whoelhearted support to the Civil of -Defence personnel when they will be called upon. ‘To inform our. readers on the meaning and purpose. of civil ‘defence, and the part they will play in it, we shall begin next week, ra series of ten articles entitled “Canada Prepares to-Deal with Disas- ster.” ;+We would suggest that these articles be clipped from the paper Just LOOKING Thank You ap By E.'G..0. ~~ What the heck is the matter with Canadians? Together with a large number of other Can- adians, I watched the parade on Coronation Day and a fine parade it was, Judging by the express- ions on the faces of my fellow Canadians, they thought it was too, But that is where it ended--- animated expression, If a blind man had been present, I’m sure he would have mistaken it for a military funeral, -- bands, march- ing feet, horses -- and solemn silence, This is no isolated instance either, I have read about it and seen it in various parts of Can- ada,Crowds gather hours in ad- vance, the’ parade passes, eyes sparkle, teeth gleam in huge grins and smiles and silence reigns supreme, The reserved Englishman, who takes his pleasure sadly, judging by the Coronation parade in Lon- don alone, can make the buildings totter,.When our troop convoy moved up the Clyde during the war, the ‘dour” Scottish ship builders drowned out the devil’s cacophany of riveting guns, When a pipe band played and marched in.the city square at Rome, the crowd roared and one little.man capered onto the square waving his hat shouting ‘bravo’, ‘encore’. ‘encore’, , What would Canadians do un- der like circumst: ces?
