Prairie Chicken Returns to Ontario Provinces Far North
The article notes the gradual northwest trek of the Prairie Chicken over the Canadian plains and its reappearance in Ontario after years of absence. A Royal Ontario Museum specimen found near Fort William in 1929 marks the first evidence of the species returning. By 1932 reports spread to Manitoulin Island, with colonies along the Michigan mainland, and the department of Lands and Forest has commissioned James L. Baillie to survey the birds and assess breeding stock introduction prospects. The piece references ongoing range studies and the note continues on Page 22.

Canada Australia wheat price spread discussed
A government official in Ottawa explained that Australia’s $272 a bushel price from Britain on a new wheat contract does not yield a large direct gain to Australian farmers versus Canada’s $156 price. Australia’s payments structure reduces direct gains while subsidizing production. Britain plans a separate 80 million bushel deal from Australia at about $272 per bushel, with Britain avoiding further U.S. purchases this crop year. Canada expects long term benefits to offset the lower price.

Slur Claims Rise After Arab Slayings in Upper Galilee
In Upper Galilee, ten Arabs including five children died and five were wounded in a nighttime attack attributed to Jews near Khisas. Military reports say two Jewish cars entered in darkness, dropped bombs, and opened fire destroying two houses and leaving seven bodies in one ruin and three in another. Jewish sources cite Hagana as the motive, saying the village sheltered infiltrators from Fawzi Kauki’s Save Palestine army, as violence in the Holy Land rises to 279 dead since the UN partition decision. Simultaneously Hagana storms shallow Arab trenches outside Hazon, near Tel Aviv, killing one soldier while injuring three Arabs and two Hagana members. In Haifa-Lydda rail country, bandit raids derailment and hold 35 tons of sugar with no casualties. Damascus reports Syrian officers resign to volunteer for Palestine fighting. In Cairo, Arab League figures say an eight million dollar fund is planned to arm Arabs volunteering against partition.
