President S. A. Gibson occupied the chair and consideration was given to the apportionment of moneys to the various organizations that will receive them regularly under the set up.

There are wells in New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Sas katchewan and Alberta, but by far the greatest pro duction is in Alberta. The latest available figures show Canadian production of approximately 34 bil lion cubic feet, of which 22 billion were in Alberta, Ontario next with 11 billion, New Brunswick produ ced more than half a billion, Saskatchewan 90 mil lion and Manitoba 600,000. The largest natural gas producing area in Canada is the Turner Valley field, about 35 miles Southwest of Calgary. The consumption of Turner Valley gas for industrial and domestic use was over 15 billion cubic feet, with about 23,000 consume™ in Calgary, Lethbridge and the district Some 2,500 consumers were served from the Medicine Hat field. Cost of natural gas to the consumer varies greatly but the lowest charge appears to be at Medicine Hat Alberta, at 23.7 cents per 1,000 cubic feet, and runs up to 81.40 at London and Windsor in Ontario. At Moncton, New Brunswick, 50 cents was the charge. An idea of the extent of the supply system may be gathered from the length of main pipe lines. The latest available figures show about 2,790 actual miles of gathering and transmission pipes, along with over 2,500 distribution lines. The following appeared in a recent Bureau report: “Manufacturers of gas appliances continue to im prove their wares both along lines of convenience, efficiency and in color schemes. A new gas range is now offered that fulfills any and every task that the most particular housewife might demand. Other than new and improved labor-saving devices and perfected insulation, a pressure regulator and filter has been added which insures against imperfect com bustion resulting from pressure variations. With the areurence that no carbon monoxide can be formed from partially burned gases, the smoke pipe has been removed from most modern gas stoves. Another appliance that has reached maturity of design and has passed trials in the hands of the public is the gas refrigerator. It operates on either gas or kerosene and has no moving’barts. Further advances have been made in the design of moderate price water heaters and furnace burners.’’-Dominion Bureau of Statistics. Modern Agriculture Cover*Many Science*Dealing with sewntifle and industrial research inCanada, the 1940 Canada Year Qpok say* with reference to the Dominion Depart. of Agriculture that sincethe beginning of the 30th century there has been aremarkable change in the relation of the farmer to the scientist The scientist has taken his critical meth ods to the fields, the farmer has brought his problems to the laboratory. To apply the laws of science to the practices of agriculture is the function of the re search and experimental services of the Department. Trained specialists are continuously at work canying research projects through various stages of analysis in the laboratory and through testing under controlled conditions in stable, greenhouse, and experimental plot. Finally, the products of research are tested un der practical farming conditions throughout the areas concerned. There is no one science of agriculture; it is made up of many sciences. The tillage and fertility of soils, the growth and protection of plants, the feeding and care of animals, and the processing of farm products into human food and clothing present problems that the research worker solves by reference to the laws of a score sciences. Because of the great diversity of effort required in reaching a practical solution, research on many problems is not limited to any one unit of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The major part of the research work, however, is con ducted in the Divisions of the Science Service and the Experimental Farms Service. Unite of there two ser vices are located in every province. The research work of the Department is co-ordinated with that of the agricultural colleges and the National Research Council, and thye is an inter-change of personnel and facilities wherever the work will be benefited.

BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Wllluunre* — - Exports Increase Farm Products The value of total exports of Canadian produce for the first nine months of 1940 amounted to 860.9 million dollars as compared with 636.3 million dol lars for the corresponding period of 1939, a gain of over 35 per cent. Exports of agricultural products amounted to 285.6 million dollars compared with 218.4 million dollars in the corresponding nine months of 1939, a gain of approximately 31 per cent, says the latest issue of the Current Review of Agri cultural Conditions in Canada. Exports of Canadian farm products in August and September, 1940, were above those of the Corresponding months of 1939. While exports of grains, fruits, and vegetables in September, 1940, were 5.8 million dollars less than in September, 1939, this decline was more than made up by a gain of nearly seven million dollars in exports of animals and animal products. Increased exports of bacon and hams, cheese and eggs, are chiefly responsible for the gain in total value of farm products. Declines in vegetables and grains are the result of the loss of European markets and exports for the remainder of these products are likely to be less than in the latter part of 1939. Markets for Canadian farm products in the United Kingdom depend upon the policy laid down by the British Government and Ulis policy is continually subject to change as military and political events affect the position of the United Kingdom. A wide variety and range of factors must be taken into con sideration, including the availability of foreign ex change the availability of shipping and the most effective use made of cargo space, the necessity of countering enemy propaganda and enemy activities in other countries, the maintenance of an adequate diet, the availability and use of storage facilities in the United Kingdom as well as in/other parts of the world, weather conditions, the effect! of enemy air action and so on. On the basis of present information, it would seem that for those farm products on which no definite agreements have been made, little increase can be expected in export demand from the United Kingdom in the near future.'

Macdonald, Minister of National Defence for Naval Services: “The whole of Britain is under attack now, but in our own time she and her Dominions will take the offensive. They are on the offensive even now, for our gallant airmen are carrying the war to the heart of enemy countries, and to the territories which Ger many has conquered, and our incomparable fleet still commands the seta. Her soldiers at Dunkerque have proven their quality. We shall see Britain tri umphant, end long after the name of Hitler has be come nothing but an unpleasant memory, the same flag, which how waves over disordered heaps of crumbled brick and stone nnd mortar, will be flying freely find proudly in the airs of Heaven, sheltering liberty and justice and freedom and truth in its benevolent shade. That is the lesson of the flag flying over the ruinb of British homes.—"House of Com mons, Nov. 19, 1040.

LEGLESS HERO WHO LEADSCANADIAN FLIERSCm Tara Backward SnMaviaalU A domance of British industry lies behind the award of the D.S.O. to the famous legless pilot of the R.A.F., Acting Squadron-Leader D. R- 8. Bader, at present Acting Squadron- Leader to a Squadron from Canada. After an accident in 1931, when he lost both legs, Squadron-Leader Bader was fitted with artificial limbs by one of the Desoutter brothers who have given Britain the world lead in making artificial limbs. When Mr. Marcel Desoutter lost a leg in an aeroplane accident in 1912, his brother Charles, an aeron autical engineer, set to work and produced the first light metal limb made of what was then the new dur alumin alloy and weighing 3^-4% lbs., instead of the usual 7-10 lbs. A, year later Mr. Marcel Desoutter re-' Burned flying and since that time no fewer than 100,000 limba have been supplied by the Desoutter brothers to the British Ministry of Pensions and to private patients all over the world. Ballbearing mechanisms en able the users to cycle, play tennis or golf, ride on horseback, drive a car and even to ski. An astonishing feat of design is the artificial ankle which combines the joint and spring action of the foot in one neat mech anical unit. Squadron-Leader Bader, the most distinguished user, won his D. S. 0. by leading a squadron of Hurricanes which dived straight into a tightly packed formation of 100 enemy raid ers and brought down 11 of them. “Squadron-Leader Bader is an ex ceptional p atient,” says Mr. E. R- Desoutter. “He learned to use his limbs very quickly indeed and soon developed many special tricks, such as turning somersaults.” BRITAIN’S BEST WORLD SELLERS Among £2,605,281 Worth of Book* Exported In War Timo Shakespeare and the Bible remain the “best sellers” in the vast total of, £2,605,281 worth of books sent' overseas, despite the paper shortage, by British publishers during the first nine months of 1940.

Under normal circumstances rest is given in the bed* of hospitals; warmth, from elaborate medicinal bathing establishment*. Now in the field treatment quite as efficacious is provided by placing the patient in an ordinary canvas chair, wrapped in any army blanket with a copious stream of steam from a pipe led under his wrappings from a Primus stove. Since radiant heat lamps are not practical politics on active service, Army doctors have improvised in their stead cast iron heated over a Primus stove and then set before a sheet of metal to act as reflector. Next, mud is mixed with olive oil and glycerine to form packs and sand is baked in pails and applied to the affected parts. These primitive methods of field, medicine have yielded results that compare favourably with those ob tained under the best conditions of peace-time civilian medical treat ment TRUST COMPANY . A.

The church was well filled for the service, which was of amost impress ive nature, the minister, Rev. A. H. Plyley, officiated, assisted by a for mer pastor, Rev. J. A. Bean of Kel- | vin.

FOUNDED ON FIVE SHILLINGS London Perfumers Double War Exports Since the war began, one famous London firm of perfumers has not only increased its exports, but, in;the flow of regular monthly ship ments, not a single crate or bottle of scent has been lost The firm’s founder came to Lon don at the end of the eighteenth century bringing with him five shill ings in cash, a box of prepared Bear’s Grease, and a fixed resolve to make perfumery his life's business. Flowers, fruits and animal pro ducts, such as ambergris and musk, from all the world are still the foun dation of the firm’s fame, which is linked with that of past and pres- ’ent members of all the European Royal Families, and with notable frequenters of Old Bond Street, in cluding Beau BrummeL These perfumers were wise enough to lay in large reserves of raw mat erials so that there is no danger of failing supplies of scents, soaps and beauty preparations for Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, the Dutch East Indies and many other overseas countries. Daring the past year, in fact, orders from certain countries have more than doubled.

One thing that’s certain is that you must have goodflour. 1 have been using Robin Hood Flour for ten years. It’s a grand flour; I wouldn't use any other.Robin Hood helped me win the prize.

I DebatingClub held in the third form ofthe Collegiate on Tuesday afternoon,presided over by Grace Fairbank*. The minutes of the last meeting were > ead by Hasel Palmer and adopted. A debate was held, “Resolved that Hitler is more responsible for the present state of affairs than the people of Germany.” The affirmative was taken >by Dully Stephensun and Shirley Law. The negative was taken by Margaret Beck and Ethelwyn Daniel. It was shown by Dolly Stephenson, the first speaker of the affirmative, how much influence Hitler ha* on the Nationalist Socialist Movement, and its actions are due to Hitler. She stated that Hitler ha* never had the free support of the German people. She also said that Hitler wasn’t voted into power as are our Prime Ministers. As first speaker of the negative, 1 Margaret Beck said that the Govern ment of any nation will change only if the people change. She showed that Hitler is like a captain of a rug by team—as he whistles signals they make various moves and if they don’t like their captain they can get an other one. Thus, if the German people do not like 'Hitler they can cast him out: thus the fault, she stated, lies with the German people. The Germans, Miss Beck stated, are an intelligent people but they don’t use the power given them. As secend speaker of the negative, Ethelwyn Daniel stated that Hitler got into office without being voted in: Chamberlain declared in his speech that this war is against the German people as well as Hitler. The people wanted, Miss Daniel stated, to put someone at their head; Hitler promised them success and they agreed with him. Thus, she stated, Hitler has been able to capture their minds without them fully analysing what it is all about. As second speaker of the affirma tive side, Shirley Law, pointed out that the people of Germany are not to blame for the present war because they are not responsible for the opin ions they formulate as a result of Hitler’s scheming propaganda. Fur- , thermore if the German people at tempt to rebel, they are immediately shot down or imprisoned in concen- I IiI I g I f ?s I I DIFFERENT rich, sustaining ai>d invigorating food drink that possesses the matchless quality that ha* mad* Neilson's Jersey Milk Chocolate the delight of young and old.

In rebuttal Dolly Stephenson stated that Hitler is an Austrian, many of his cabinet are not German, some Russian and some Alexandrian and others. The people, she stated, have let Hitler go into destruction without doing anything about it. Mr. R. C. Brogden congratulated the debaters on the fine way they debated. It was a very hard subject he said and they did exceptionally well. They had searched for inform ation and bad read a great deal about the war, which was very .worthwhile to them, Mr. Brogden said. Mr. C. L. Bole spoke briefly on the .rise of Hitler to power and also congratu lated the debaters on their efforts. The judge* were Miss Kennedy, Mis Sutherland and Katherine Miles. They came to the decision that the negative side won. However, they sid, the, debate was very diffi cult to judge. The topic was very in teresting because it was a current topic. Both sides were well prepared and well thought The class .vote was for the affirma tive side.

What the heck are youtalking about now?” “Your mother.”Bringing Mrs. Castle’s nameinto this discussion with Jeff hadbeen even more difficult than Audrey Swan anticipated. It shouldn’t have been necessary to remind Jeffrey that she hadn't been in his homefor several years, nor that the ladyfrom the big house on the hill hadseldom found it convenient to recog size her young neighbor. At leastAudrey thought so. But it wouldn’tbe very sporting to tell him aboutit Instead, she waited a little tense ly for the outburst she expected herremark to produce.To her surprise, what she rereceived was a mild: “I don’t believe my trip abroad did you much good. Cygie. I’ve invited you toparties at my house before. This ismy party and I'm asking you to bemy guest. If you don’t want to comeor think you wouldn’t have a goodtime . . .” “Oh. Jeff!

But don’t you see?”“Naturally not.”But things are different now Theycan't help being It's beastly of me,I know, but you just did tell methat your mother . ‘Invited Olive,” Jeff broke insharply “Sure she did. That’s different Mother never has met herand she’s known you for years.” The past hour had been so definitely like old times that Audreyhad very nearly forgotten her resolve to establish a new and reserved footing for this companion who tucked her arm in his as thev mounted the porch steps of the Swan home. It was a familiar partof their coming home ritual. Thesame as Jeff’s releasing her at thedoor with a careless. “So long,” or“Be seeing you.” Tonight, he dropped her arm butwaited long enough for a quiet reminder. “Your chair will be at thetable Friday night. In case it rains. I'll send the car. If you let medown, I’ll know . .“I won’t, Jeff.” At the breakfast table her father’s"Morning, Audrey,” was offeredwithout an upward glance.Anthony Swan was as English asWestminster, to use a frequent expression of his daughter. A slight man with a fresh complexion andkeen blue eyes. His curling hair wastouched with gray and receded atrifle at the temples, dropping onhis cheeks in closely cropped side burns. There was something in hisgeneral trimness that suggestedhorses.The Swan acreage constituted aminiature stock farm with its well-painted stables and sheds, trimwhite fences everywhere, a half-mileexercise track. Anthony had cometo the States as a racing trainer ofsome reputation, but had left thetracks a dozen years before to establish a business of his/own. Hebred a limited number byfine saddleanimals, bought and /old others,stabled and trained horses for patrons as well as being h riding mas ter whose services were much indemand. Martha, his wife, was aNew Englander. A mild-manneredbut efficient little person and muchthe better manager of the two."Your mother says .Mr. Jeffrey ishome,” Anthony‘offered. "How isthe lad?”"Looks very fit”"He must have been across closeto a year,” Anthony went on “Par-ville will seem small to him,. Iwouldn’t doubt.”Audrey inserted a slice of breadin the, toaster and closed it withan unnecessary clash.Do you want some work thismorningt” Anthony asked. "One ofthe Judge’s stablemen came over .last night with the brown mare we sold Mr. Jeffrey the last summerbe was home. You remember.Eileen?”“What's the matter with her?”"Not a thing in the world save she hasn’t been ridden in a longtime. Never by a woman, I take it.”“If get you. She’s going to be ridden by a woman and you’re supposed to guarantee that she’ll takeit without too much fuss.” Audreysmiled wryly. "You don’t care ifyour darling child breaks her neckfinding out, do you? Eileen wasn’tkeen for her fences, if I remember,” "I’ve no fear for you on that mareor any other.”“Sure, dear, I was only fooling.Be glad to. I'll change and comedown as soon as I've finished my toast and your paper “Martha Swan appeared from thekitchen. Immaculate in a fresh gingham house dress, she came to the table and sat down across fromAudrey “Good morning, dear,” washer greetingMrs. Swan's clear brown eyesstudied the girlish face closely be fore she observed: “I didn't hearyou come in last night Did youhave a good ride?”“Fine. It wasn’t late . . . aboutten-thirty. I imagine.” "I guess it seemed pretty muchlike old times to have Jeffrey dropin the way he used to.”“Listen, Mom . . Audreythoughtfully crumbled a bit of toast“I don’t expect to see so much ofJeff from now on. We’ll always begood friends, but he’s home to staynow. so far as I know He won’tbe running in the way he used toin vacations.”“Maybe. But I know what youmean ”Audrey was in her room gettinginto her shirt and jodhpurs whenshe heard the telephone in the lowerhall ring and. after an interval, hermother answering. The words.“Hold the line a minute, I’ll callAudrey," brought the latter runningdown the stairs in her stocking feet.“Who is it?” she asked guardedly. “I don't know. A woman . . .asked for Miss Swan.”Audrey nodded and put the receiver to her ear. She identified her self briefly, only to hear a "Thankyou. Just one moment, please.”Then the voice of another woman—gracious, well-modulated. “Thisis Mrs Castle speaking.” Audrey barely suppressed a gaspof amazement when she realizedthat Jeffrey’s mother was at theother end of the wire.^ut recoveredher composure sufficiently to respond in what she hoped was a toneof pleased surprise “Oh. yesl Howare you. Mrs. Castle?”"Quite well thank you. I dohope you will pardon this very earlycall Perhaps vou noticed in the “Maybe she was keeping something from me. I hope she was.”This last Audrey said to herself.“Never fear”Assured of Eileen's tractability,her rider had devoted considerablethought to the dinner party. Themore deeply she considered the matter of dress, the more important itappeared and she went directly from the stables to find her mother.Here was something that must betalked over."All right.” Martha’s lips werecompressed a trifle. “You’ve plenty of time between now and Friday.You run up to the city and get yourself a dress I have fifty dollars herein the house. I’ll give it to you. You can manage the rest. I shouldthink*The second forenoon after thatfound Audrey in her room with ajumble of boxes, tissue paper, sheerstockings and slippers littering herusually immaculate bed. She had onthe new dinner gown and was revolving slowly under the gaze of her mother’s critical brown eyes.“I like it. Audrey.” was the deliberate verdictThe slender little figure before the long mirror^presented an attractivepicture in its billowy dotted swissgown, white with red dots, the little jacket bound with grosgrain, acombination that was in effective contrast with the dark curls and thegolden tan of Audrey’s face andslim arms.“You’ll look as nice as any girl there,” her mother conceded “That’swhat I call a ladylike dress.” In the dressing room at the Castles’, Audrey gave herself a criticalinspection, applied powder and lipstick, pushed her curls into a finalsemblance of order "God defendthe right.” *Jie murmured, and moved sedately in the direction ofthe winding staircase. At the footof the descent she paused andglanced at the scattered occupantsof the brightly lighted drawingroom. Jeff saw her at once an£strode forward with a delightedsmile. He looked very handsome,Audrey thought, in his white din ner coat and black trousers, his yellow head smooth and shining. •"Bless your heart. darlinT* he "Quito th* kittoll,” Audrey reported. papers that Jeffrey has returnedfrom abroad. I am aware that thisis dreadfully, informal, but I wantyou to dine with us Friday evening,my dear." “I shall be delighted to come.Thank you so much,” Audrey responded.“Thank you. my dear. Good-by 1” Audrey dropped the telephone inits cradle. “Well, the dirty double-crosser," she observed gently, unaware that her mother was just behind her.“Audrey Swan I That was Mrs.Judge Castle, wasn't it? What doyou mean?"“Nothing, Mom. I was speakingabout . .. Jeff’s horse." "She invited you to something,didn’t she?”"Dinner on Friday.”"Well, for goodness' sakel”“That puts it very concisely,” herdaughtcred approved grimly as shemounted the stairs for her boots.It wasn't like Jeff to do such athing. He must have asked his:mother to extend that invitationthis morning without telling herthat he had already done so. Nodoubt he hoped it would sootheAudrey’s feelings, after her littleoutburst the night before. But shecould wish be had been more above-board. Audrey spent an hour on Eileen’sback. The mare went through herpaces in a listlessly obliging fashion. She paid no attention whatever to traffic when her rider tookher some distance along a busy pike,"Quite the kitten,” Audrey reported to her father when she slipped down from the saddle at tnestable door. Anthony nodded agreement, chewing on a straw. exclaimed. “You're a treat to theseold eyes I” He caught at the armof a young man standing near, “Vic,old son, meet the Pride of Parallel Miss Swan, Mr. Quinn, if I may.Your dinner partner, Vic, you luckydog.” He drew Audrey’s armthrough his and began the introductory rites in breezy style. Audrey dutifully centered her attention upon each guest as /presented. Now Jeff had her armagain, was leading her forward. Oh,Olive . . . please?”A slender figure in a clingingblack gown emerged from the almost total eclipse effected by tijebulky form of Judge Castle. Andrey’s first thought was, "Just likethe pictures of the Duchess ofWindsori” Then she was consciousof white teeth flashing a friendlysmile, of a slim hand outstretchedin greeting. Of Jeff, beaming.“Miss Swan .. ^Mrs. Cooper.”For the space of a second, theshock of that introduction blurred► the entire drawing-room scene forAudrey Swan.Mrt. Cooper IIt couldn’t be. And yet . . . Jeff certainly had called her that ButMrs. Cooper, or whoever she was,was saying things to Miss Swan,Saying that she had been so anxiousto meet her, that Jeffrey had spokenso frequently about her. Gradually the bane cleared and Andrey foundherself trying valiantly to warrantthe enthusiastic account Jeff musthave rendered.. But fr was a relief to find VicQuinn barging up alongside. Audreyfelt better. Still more so at thetouch of a hand on her arm andthe booming voice of the Judge.

SAYS BRITAIN WILL NEVER BEDEFEATED BY NAZIS OROTHERS Amazement that some people in Canada were worried about the vic torious outcome of the war, because "in Great Britain no such feeling exist* even in the most remote form," was exp re wed here by J. C. MacPhee, of Russell, Ont, a private with the 1st Canadian Division, C.A. SJF., who has returned to recuper ate from a physical disability. MacPhee, who visited headquarters of the Canadian Legion War Servi ces, said that the people of Britain are magnificent and can never be subjugated into submission by the Nazis or any other foreign power. The young private, whose deepest regret is that he is unable “to be in on the kill," expressed great admir ation for the work of the Canadian Legion among, the troops overseas. He said that Captain Mert Plunkett, "C.L.WjS. director of entertainment in the Old Country and founder of the "Dumbells" in the last war, has scored a tremendous hit and the en tertainment he has arranged has done much to help maintain the mor ale and fighting spirit of the men. MacPhee' was enthusiastic about the : Legion’s education scheme and be lieved that it would go a long way toward helping to win the war and at the same time assist the troops in getting re-established on their discharge from the army. Canadians overseas have the re spect of everyone, he said, and their presence there has been a great stimulant to the British people. He recalled a German prisoner-of-war told him that the last war proved that “the only way to convince a Canadian he is dead is.to bury him.” Bruised Hog Carcass Causes Big Loss Bruised hogs produce bruised car casses, and the majority of these car casses, no matter how suitable in weight, type, and finish, have to be discarded in making selection for export Wiltshire sides of bacon. Since bruises, particularly those deep seated, reduce the value of the total production of pork, this is eventually a charge on the industry. Under the old system of live grade payment, this was just as true as it is today under rail grading, with the difference that under the former, bruises were not always detectable in pigs on foot. Such blemishes are apparent un- -der carcass grading and thus the means is provided whereby the cause may be traced back to its source and the loss borne where it belongs. Bruising may or may not start at the farm. It may occur during transit to market by rail or by truck. It may be the result of rough handling off cars and off trucks, and it may occur in stock yards and packers yards. Therefore the whole- problem of bruise prevention comes very much to the fore, and it at once becomes apparent that every step in hog-de livery and handling from the pig pen to the rail, should be closely checked and undertaken with care. Whether the producer is trucking- on his own behalf, employs a trucker or has his hogs shipped by rail, he is primarily interested in preventive measures, such as the discarding of sticks, and prods in ^driving hogs, the use of properly constructed parti tions in truck and car, careful un loading, segregation of fighting hogs and other logical precautions which immediately suggest themselves to anyone who has experience with easily bruised live stock. These measures are all inexpensive and quite practical. The united, sustained effort of all parties concerned, far mer, drover, shipper, carrier, com mission man, and packer employee would solve the problem almost over night The elimination of bruises on hogs would mean more profits to the industry.

BANK OF MONTREALREPORT REVEALSWAR-TIME STRENGTHAfter a year of war-time condi tions the annual statement of the Bank of Montreal reflect? again the strenjrtih and solidarity of an insti tution which for 123 years has been in the forefront of Canadian finance. A»eta of 8961,334,955 show some .ontraction a* compared with the previous report, when an all-time record of 81,025,508,367 was estab lished—due in part to transactions of a special nature, as was explained at the annual meeting of sharehold ers—but showing a substantial in crease over the total of $874,255,- 888 reported in 1938. The profits for the year, after making appropriations to Contingent Reserv- Fund and provision for bad and doubtful debts and Federal and Provincial taxes, were $3,435,941, as compared with $3,462,446 in 1939. The increase in the .bank’s contribu tions to public revenues is indicated by an increase in Federal and Pro vincial taxes from $1,198,413 to $1,- 927,824, or $729,411. The profits are the equivalent of 4.5% on the capital, rest and undiAied profits, showing no appreciable change. Strong Liquid Position The bank's liquid position is strongly maintained. Quickly avail able resources, totalling $663,185,- 436, show some contraction, largely as the result of the reduction of holdings of government and other bonds and debentures from $517,- 171,256 to $461,827,040, but are still %t the high ratio of 75% of all lia bilities to the public. Cash in the bank’s vaults and money on deposit with the Bank of Canada at $83,- 034,576 compare with $94,641,456 in the previous report and are 9.39% of the total liabilities to the public. Notes of and cheques on other banks, $32,254,269, money on deposit in other banks, $61,382,283, stocks, $196,182, call loans outside Canada, $19,552,470, call loans in Canada, $4,606,348, and acceptance, $332,- 264, show no significant changes. The bank’s part in financing the expansion of industrial, agricultural and other productive and general business activities throughout the country is reflected in an increase of over $13,000,000 in loans “to manu facturers, farmers, merchants and others?’ at $233,560,368, compared with $220,548,911. Loans to provin cial ami municipal governments, in cluding school districts of $35,313,- 063, compare with $36,712,818, while other items among the bank’s re sources—Bank-Premises, 13,900,000, Acceptances and Letters of Credit, $11,677,303, and “other assets,” $2,724,581 — show no important changes. Deposits, at $848,865,349, com pare with $914,909,050; notes of the bank in circulation, at $19,816,520, were less by $1,950,772, in keeping with the contraction of issuing power under the Bank Act; acceptances and letters of credit outstanding at $11,- 677,303, and other liabilities to the amount of $3,892,125, show some in crease, tiie total of liabilities to the public at $884,251,299 being lower by $64,251,622. The reduction in de posits can be taken as a result of the withdrawal of the special trans actions already referred to and pub lic participation in government war financing. Profit and Lo»» Account After payment of the usual divi dends <and appropriation of $500,000 for bank premises, $55,941 was added to the balance of profit and loss com- PUTNAM who is Member for Organization and Training of the Air Council. pared with $82,446 in 1939; the total balance in this account is now $1,321,642.

GROSS ASSETS, IMPERIALBANK OF CANADA,AT NEW PEAK Imperial Bank at Canada reports, for th« year ended October 31, 1940, total assets at a new high and, des pite greatly increased taxes, profits maintained at the former level After the usual dividends and amounts provided for contingencies and writing down values of bank premises, Che surplus forward is in creased from $666,634 to $676,652. Profits in the latest year were $961,018, after Dominion and pro vincial income and corporation taxes of $487,883, compared with profits of $966,259 in the former year when taxes were $325,885. The amount written off premises was increased by $50,000 to $150,000, compared with the former year, but it was deemed necessary to provide only $100,000 for contingencies, com pared with $150,000 the year before. Dividends totalled $700,000, which' is a return of let s than 4 Vj per cent on the combined capital and reserve and surplus. Total assets are up some $3,500,- 000 to $191,491,715 and total de posits are increased about $2,600,000 to $173,387,338. Cash and its equiv alent are up nearly $6,000,000 to $32,433,661 and total of quick assets, including cash, are at $104,- 953,027 against $102,694,961 a year ago. The ratio of quick assets to de posits remains at approximately 60 per cent A notable change in the holdings of government bonds is a change in the long-term and short-term hold iris of Dominion and provincial bonds. At $37,862,270, such bonds maturing in less than two years are increased about $12,000,000 com pared with the former year, while the longer-term securities,, now amounting to $28,941,311 are re duced about $14,900,000. An increase in current loans yas to be expected in view of the marked acceleration in business activity. The total is now $67,878,159 an advance of about $3,800,000 in the year. There has been, however, a decline in the market* for call loans, these at $3,588,190, being down about $1,600,000. Further evidence of the increased tempo of business is the marked in crease in deposits not beanng in terest At $49,262,273 these are now greater by $9,500,000 than a year ago. Deposits bearing-' interests^ largely savings accounts, now stand at $92,452,785. A decline of $7,000,- 000 in these from a year ago is attributed to the public subscriptions to the Second War Loan in the MOUNT ELGIN Phone 112W BUY DOORS, WINDOWS, ROOFING,WALLBOARD, PLWfiBING MATERIALS, FURNACES, ETC., AT PRESENT LOW TAXFREE/RICES._______________ REfDY/GLAZED STORM SASH INCREASE IN PRICES.

The moderate decrease in the bank’s notes in circulation is the re sult of the provision of the Bank Act which is gradually bringing about a reduction in the circulation of the notes of chartered banks and a corresponding increase in notes of the Bank of Canada. Dominion gov ernment deposits at virtually $12,- 000,000 are practically unchanged but provincial~deposits, at $11,740,- 384 are increased by approximately $1,400,000. < Largest of the cash items is $17,- 407,162 in notes of and deposits with the Bank of Canada, which are up more than $3,000,000. Cheques on other banks total $9,367,690, which is an increase of more than $2,100,000. Deposits with tianks elsewhere total $4,109,592, which is an -increase of about $875,000. : Improving municipal finances are reflected in a decline of more than $1,500,000 in Ioans to municipalities,which now stand at $5,857,90f. Pro vincial Joans at $487,501 are redu ced $100,000 in the year. Bank prem ises are carried at $5,743,114, a re duction of more than $100,000.
