VETERANS IN CHURCH PEWS Clerics Praise Kcspon.se From Returned Servicemen OTTAWA CP Veterans and their families are returning to church life and duties "surprisingly well," a survey of leading Protestant tihurchmen in the capital indicated. Rt. Rev. Robert Jefferson, Anglican Bishop of Ottawa, said he was "very pleased with the way our men have returned from j the war and taken up their church duties where they left . Ofi'.w ' ' "I have found veterans exactly the same as other people," lie added, "and the fact they put on a uniform made no difference in them." Rev. Stuart Ivison, minister "of a Baptist church here and ' himself a veteran, said hii church had had "a wonderful response from servicemen." "In my experience any approach which Is made to them -Is always greeted with the uU most cordiality and, to a decree, success."

"Advance King George' Keys -all' well!" . The warder and hit I O TrfE -V r-ua terian minister, said more veterans were returning to the church after the Second World War than alter the first and tlw response of war brides was particularly encouraging. Churchmen generally agreed there was no need fof discouragement over the post-war religious situation. Some blamed housing difficulties as the reason many veterans and their families had not joined. This was chiefly because they had to move about from parish to parish in temporary homes. Once settled, the ministers said, many will affiliate themselves with a neighborhood church.

TREE FRUITS IN INTERIOR Observations made during the summer pf 1946 by the staff members of the Dominion Ex-pcilmental Station at Prince t George, over most districts of the Bulkley, Nechako and upper Fraser Valleys Indicate that It Is safe to say that hardy varieties of apples, plums, cherries and pears can be gTown in these ,;rejs, N: med varieties of apples sirh as Wealthy, Yellow Trans-prc.i! and Mcintosh were s;en r ?w. 'p? fruit at Qussnel. Mc- Er and Fort Fraser. The first a mentioned matured well, iu-h the latter may be late .Tie areas. Many chance d'.inrs were also found carryr ' 1: re crops of good quality f uits. These had been grown f c;n seed of culinary apples In mc.-t cases and competed with ri''t''i;e. Seme grovn in a gar-tte.i frim planted seed were pi ducln? heavily when 15 years i cf ne. The apples.observed were 'mo.itly on clay land and ap peared to do as well or better than on loam or sand. Plum-, were observed in many rardens but never as plentiful si t anples. Opata and wild plums cf a-rs:ir.?nt eastern origin were seen fruiting at many points "and Pmlbina carried a good crop in one case. The lack of olum trees may be due to the fact thut most growers are situated on heavy, land where plums do rot appear to thrive. Sour cherries were seen grow-in" in several gardens and some carrying good crcps of fruit. A Be sarablan type and English Morello were observed. The Mor eno was carrylr--j a very heavy crop of excellent fruit which ripened well. Two sweet cherry trees were seen carrying ripe fruit at Dunster and a large, healthy Bins seedling seen -at Australian. The only pears seen carrying fruit were of the Tate Dropmore type. These trees produced good crops of small, poor quality fruits. General variety recommendations from one season's observations are: Apples Yellow Transparent, Wealthy, Haralson, Blushed CaU vill-p.
