For the burning of the famous Shepheard's hoM by the infuriated Egyptians will surely impress the whole Middle Eastern and African world as an event of epoch-making Importance. JUST A3 Egypt is the country which is ut the very cross roads of the old world, so Shepheard's was Uw meeting place of all meting places in Cairo. It was aptly called a "monument to imperialism." Old timers used to say that if you sin, long enough on the cool piazza in front of Shepheard's you could eventually meet uny-w.'dy who was anybody. They meant in their world of imperialism and international capitalism. Whole spy books had been written round this fantastic hostelry. It boasted one of the rnnst impressive bars in the world with a New York bartender. It had an grossly overgilded dining room. It had all sorts of nooks, and alcoves, and short cut passages, probably some secret ones, as in Oppen-heim's books. There were employees of every shade of color, ranging from Science and Man's Axe WHEN, in a plane heading for Teheran, the late President Roosevelt saw below him vast stretches of desert rock, he was surprised to learn that he was crossing a country which in bygone days had been a land flowing with milk and honey. Gone were the stately forests; only devastation remained. One-third of the world's original forest land has been turned into desert by man and growing technical ability has hastened this dread process. Scandinavian and Canadian livers could transport the logs by the thousands, like so many gigantic match-sticks.' Ho far as our everyday lives are concerned, we are intimately affected by the death xf the world's trees. It is not generally realized how far wood is at the basis of daily existence. More than two-thirds of the inhabitants of tin's earth use it for cooking or warmth. In fact, most of the wood consumed though-out the world is used as fuel, although this process is extremely wasteful. The following table shows, in millions of cubic-metres, the main purpose for which wood is consumed per annum: w 800 i Building 4f0 Paper . . 100 Hay on 5 Railway sleepers r 30 ,1'it Props HO 'Other Uses 85 The forest, in fact, can provide a complete industrial economy and a permanent one, for, as distinct from coal and oil, forests can be renewed. Thei forest can feed, clothe shelter and warm us. INow that we are beginning to understand the full implications of this, it is time we put an end to our indiscriminate waste, not only of this natural resource, but of natural resources generally. It is in our own interests to understand the workings of nature.

The loan value of a home must be increased so that a lower down payment is required. If this is done, the monthly payments, under the 2(Vyear term, may be too high for the average home buyer, so the only answer is to increase the mortgage term to 25 or !0 years. One leading Canadian economist estimates that today approximately half a million families are without homes. The population continues to increase but government restrictions and other problems have prevented construction from keeping pace.' In this connection, some opinion holds that, while there will be no house construction boom this year, because of the few starts in the latter part of 1951, the gap between families requiring homes and the homes available will be so wide that political expediency will force measures to alleviate the housing situation before 1953.- ' ' and be able to shoot straight, j Prime Minister Churchill gave it his own picturesque version: "Our country should suggest to the mind of the paratrooper the lightened believers in a square i No home guardsmen will be deal for Egypt and all othvr required to serve in any over-countries in that nart of the -seils theatre of operations and volunteers will be assigned to back of a hedgehog rather than 1 units as near as possible to their the paunch of a rabbit." world.
