C. Paves 300 Miles Nearly 300 miles of highway have been paved during the past season, with still more mileage to come, it was announced by Hon, E. C. Carson, minister of public works. Out of the 297 miles already completed, 125 miles are of hot plant mix of the asphalt type and machine laid; 40 miles are of road mix; 50 miles are of double surface treatment, and 82 miles are of single seal coat.

The use of mechanical finishing machines has resulted in a much superior pavement than was heretofore possible, it was stated by the In different contractministerint ing firms were employed in these projects, but due to delays in delivery of equipment, they were in some cases unable to make as early a start as was intended. Most of the contracts, however, will be completed this fall SO that the mileage is expected to exceed the 300 miles.

From 18 to 25 per cent of a tree is composed of a material called lignin, which acts as a binder of the wood cells.

This was formerly thrown away as being useless but now researchers have found more than 200 distinct commodities from this material among them being motor fuel, plastics, strengthener for woods, hardness for cements and a humic material for fertilizing soil.

A native of Russia, Mr. Penner is familiar with the situation and responsibilities confronting new citizens. "Many an immigrant, who comes to this country ignorant of our and with jarring manlanguage, however, Canadian in the most important sense. He has long shared our ideals and while oppressed and prosecuted abroad has yearned for our land of freedom and for the opportunity in aiding in the realization of its aim. "We new Canadians are in some respects more fortunate than those who are Canadians by birtn.

With us the process of Canadianization has been and still is a very conscious one. "When I came here 20 years ago as a boy 1 did not realize that my father nad caught a vision of the years to come and that history was being made tor himseli, his children and his childrens' children. In that same way you are making history today," he said. "Canada is a land of rich heritage stemming from The countries of the world. This heritage is being wrought into a mosaic which is distinctly Canadian.

The variety of this mosaic is the source of our spiritual wealth. "That this is not always apparent is a judgment upon ourselves!" the speaker asserted. Mr. Penner warned native Canadians of their responsibility in blending new citizens into the pattern that is Canada. "You the native born, do not slam the door to the strange, new member and thereby accentuate and perpetuate his strangeness." "The real Canadian is one who wants to fulfill the destiny of his own value and dignity but who at the same time is actively working to promote comparable opportunities for his fellow citizens.

"CHERISHED POSSESSION" "Because many of us have been exposed to injustice, to brutality; because many have seen institutions destroyed which were dear to us; because many of us have seen truth distorted and propaganda poisoning the souls of men and children and so robbing them forever of the preconditions of free judgment; because we have known all this we should feel most clearly, why hearts freedom and why is SO Canadian dear citizenship is a cherished possession." "It is true that man, long enslaved, sometimes finds it ditticult to shake off the habit of enslaved thinking. Canadian citizenship establishes for all of us the conditions necessary for freedom but we must free ourselves of the attitudes and prejudices which can make a mockery of the conditions of freedom. "We can make Canada great if we recognize each man for what he is and respect his background; if we attack ignorance, because prejudice feeds on ignorance; if we realize that democracy is a task and not a fact, and, knowing this, work for its realization. "Let us be citizens with positive attitudes. All of us know that friendship and kindliness is not merely the absence of hostility; that good thinking is not the absence of mistake-making.

Our attitude must be a positive one towards the other fellow, the other group, the other province. Lincoln called this continent "the last, best hope on Earth." Where else can man go to attempt the great task of living in freedom and justice under God? "If the conditions of freedom are to prevail there can be no distrust. For distrust begets counter distrust, prejudice begets counter prejudice. "We, as Canadians, believe that under a free government a variety of people can make a great nation. If freedom and justice become the common symbols of our identification as Canadians, insignificant differences cannot become the focal points of dissension and disunion.

"We have such a wealth of diversities. Mr. Penner closed his address with the following quotation: "The threshold is wide, ours is allegiance here participated the Court House Thursday. from eight different nations before County Court Judge Welcoming them on behalf of the McCam- Largest group of new citizens ever to take oath of city T.

Several members of the bar also were present. Included in the group of new Canadians were natives of Roumania, Russia, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Italy, U.S.A., and strangely enough, Canada. Mrs. Lily K. Reichel, teacher at Fairfield Island school, was born in New Westminster.

Her marriage to an alien, however, necessitated her applying for Canadian citizenship. Ages of the new citizens ranged between 25 and 75. Some of them had applied for citizenship as early as 1939. Phillip Penner, Chilliwack Juniior-Senior High School teacher, spoke to those taking the oath of allegiance. Gist of his speech is given elsewhere in this edition.

A backlog of applicants, accumulated during the war, is responsible for the large groups now seeking their citizenship, Ernie Ander- son court registrar, stated. He said it is impossible to estimate whether future groups will be greater number. The next ceremonier probably in May, will not likely have more than 25 applicants, however, Mr. Anderson said.

In many cases had payments not been available the unemployed would have suffered want! What's the good of Unemployment there be any doubt!

"We are not bound by cities too old to change or by land cultivated to the last inch, or by traditions which bar the view from our windows.
