GERMAN FARMERS LEAVE CANADA
MONTREAL:
A party of 19 German farmers and their families, active members of the "German Bund," the Canndinn branch of the Nazi foreign organiza- tion, have given up their holdings near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and are returning to Germany.
A Bund spokesman and the Ger- mans were leaving Canada because they could not endure the jeers of the anti-Nazis.
The real reason, however, appears to be that the German Government is now recalling as many German farmers as it can persuade to leave Canada because of the farm labour shortage in Germany,

SOUTH AFRICA
PLAN FOR DEEPER GOLD MINING
CAPE TOWN,
A new system of gold mining on the Witwatersrand for depths be- tween 8,000ft, the present limit, and 12,000ft was outlined to the South African Association for the Advance- ment of Science meeting at East Lon- donin
by Mr. R. Craib, consulting engineer to the General Mining and Finance Corporation.
Mr. Craib said he considered lus scheme a practical and economic pro- position. The system would require groups of six mines to combine into one unit, which in turn would be con- trolled by four companies. This was because the ultra-deep mining in- volved could be carried only by establishing a second surface ut 6,000ft and sinking shafts from there.
