They oppose at for the very reason that some of the American New Deal- ers advocate i t—Because of war de- fense needs. The plan obviously could not be put int o effect in time for the waterway to b<e of any use in the next few years , the power proposed to be developed is needless , and men; money and materials would he em- ployed th ere that had \much better be used elsewhere. . The Montreal Gazette , says , editor- ially, -discussing the fr i ghtful tax load as related by. Minister of Finance Ilsley: The farther this sinking process goes , the clearer it becomes that Mr. Ilsley . has placed the St. ..Lawrence seaway . project beyond the realm of financial possibility so far as this country is concerned. He says that even the hu ge figure which he has mentioned,-imay not be enough , but , apart from that possibility, and tak- ing the amount as give:n by him , it is ' more obvious than ever that any sea- way commitment now , whatever the estimated cost may be , would so out- rage public opi nion throughout the Dominion that -even Mr. King dare not attempt it. \ The Gazette then points out a speech hy M. A, McPherson , organ- izer of the Farmers ' Creditors Ar- rangement act and former attorney general and treasurer of Saskatchew- an , who said: \Use the vast quantities * cf steel which would be- \required for such an undertaking to make shells , tanks , and other equipment that will he greatly needed to help Britain win this war , and use the labor in the production of supplies to help Canada and Britain carry/ the war through to victory, \ Annual Towii Service Honors Dead Firemen A sermon on th-e topic , \They Also Served , \ was givem by the Eev. Har- old C. Jones , pastor of the Bellport Methodist church and chaplain of the Brookliaven Town Volunteer -Fire- men ' s association , at the association ' s annual memorial service held Sunday, June Vin the Stony Brook Methodist church . The service was attende d by ahout 150 uniformed volunteer firemen from various villages throughout the town , and by many friends and relatives of the firemen' who died during the past year. The Eev. Thomas A. Carruth , pastor of the . Stony Brook church , conducted the service. The names of the following 26 fire- men who died since the last annual service were read by J. Fred Kurras of Patchogue ,, in the cours e of the memorial service : C. K. Shaw , Bellport- John Spring- horn , Blue Point; William MacFar- land , Brookhaven; Everett W. Gould and Albert T. Rogers , both of Gen- tereach ; Lawrence Sprague , Evert J. Glysteen , Herbert L.

IFurma-n , all of Patchogue; Charles M. Conk , Jacob 5. Dr-eyer , Eugene Edwards and Charles F. Robbins , all ' of Port Jef- ferson; Giles deGroot , Ronkonkoma; Jrank Simon , LeRoy Aub-e and How- ard , ALden , all of Selden , and John Bishop, James McD owell and Isa ac L- . Golden, all of Setauket. UNNECESSARY PARADOX \At the end of the firs t nine month s of the present federal fiscal year the \number of persons holding jobs ia business and industry was 5 per cent higher than at the . start of that p er- iod. Over the same nine months W.P. 'A. rolls showed a net increase of 6i9 per cent despite the demands:.of clofeme' . produc tion. \ Thus the New York Sun reports the present paradox of better bus- iness' on ' the one hand and more Amer. •icans on relief on the other. It would bo hard to think of an explanation of thia fact that .made much sense , but there is certainly a need for some careful examination to discover what is wrong with the picture . The rise in rel ief rolls at a timo • whon industry is steadily taking on 3icw workers is satnilar in natu re to expansion of government activities •and increase in co-sts in * mimher oi •other non-d-ofenso fields. Those acti- Titles were depa-ession-born ; they; were conceived m \ ennorgono/* ef- forts ; 3 ' and it wasi sureLy the theory of their sponsors that substantial business recovery would bring about a complemental lower cost for them. The Sun study indicates that these hopes are not being realized. They can and should be. Wheal the \nation is heading every effort for defense , when the taxpayer is facing unprece- dented! burdens , the average Ameri- can citizen has the right -to demand that 3iis governmental representa- tives keep non-defense costs as low as possible. To Try Blackout Suffolk July 15 The trial blackout of Suffolk coun- ty ' s 920 square miles will be hel d on the night of Tuesday, July 15 , ' and will probably last for 20 minutes , presumably somewhere between 9 and 10. p. m., it was decided last Thursday at a meeting of the Suffolk Civil Defense council , which is to con- duct the exp e riment. The trial blackout will be similar to that attempted recentl y, wh en the city of Newark , N. J., was held m complete darkness by its residents for a 15-minute period , beg inning at midnig ht. . . The Suffolk blackout , covering an area,about 40 times, that of Newark , is expected to dwarf the . \ show \ in the New Jersey metrop olis and wi ll present far more formidable prob- lems of communication and cross- checking, according to Capt. Harry Van Liew of St. James , executive secretary of the Suffolk council. ; Number Building Permits Greater Than May, 1 940 Proposed buildrag construction m the unincorporated areas of Brook- haven town during May showe d , a greater number of permits but . a slightly lower aggregate estimated value as comp ared with the fi gures for the same period a year ago , ac- cording to a report of Town PLanning Consultant John M. Muddeman. The report showed that during the past month , 278 building permits were issued for construction estimated to cost ^156 , 285 , as compared with the May, 1940 , -figures of 233 permits for con struction valued at $161 , 255. Mr. Muddeman also said that dur- ing May, ei ght notices we^e posted on projects for which \no permit had . been obtained , violation notices were post- ed on three other , projects , 20 . com- plaint s were investigated , and 11 other calls were made in the fi eld. • ¦¦ ' . LOWER MARINE AGE LIMIT The Marines have reduced their minimum age for enlistment in the regular Marine corp s and Marine Corps reserve from 18 to 17 years , says Li eut. Colonel Walter G. Shcard , recruiting officer , at 1413 Federal Of- fice building, 90 Church street , New York. Enlistment in the regular Ma- rine corps is for a term of four years and in the Marins \Corps reserve for the duration of the national emer- gency. .
