A., $2.00 TRINITY CHOIR SANG DUVET TO CALVARY” Following the custom evolved some years ago, and continued each Easter season, the choir of Trinity United Church presented their annual sacred cantata. This year they sang Maun- der’s “Olivet To Calvary,” at the four o'clock service on Sunday last. The beautiful and impressive music of this work, was under the direction of the organist and choir leader, H. A, Riddolls. Immediate response to splendid direction by the choir of forty-two voices, made possible the effective rendering of the cantata. The solos were impressively sung with sympathy and clear understand­ ing by Messrs. Dohglas Martin, tenor­ narrator; Sergt. Jack Mayberry, sing­ ing Christ’s words; Clifford Bey non, fearitone-Pilate, and Mrs. Harold Uren and Miss Mabel Clark sopranos. The double quartette with sopranos. Misses Marion Follick and Helen Hawkins; contraltos, Misses Mae Waters and Mildred Hunsberger; ten­ ors, W. J. Hopes, C. Kipp and bass, J. Hunsberger and H. Young, also contributed to the success of the presentation. At Trinity United Church on Sun­ day morning, the service was in charge of Rev. R. H. Parr and Rev. R. A. Facey. Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was dispensed to a large congregation. The Junior choir, under the direction of Miss Ruth Cuthbertson, sang two anthems, “The Holy City,” and “All In An April Evening.” The young singers sang these numbers very well indeed, (Friends and relatives of menand women who are serving in anybranch of His Majesty's Service areinvited to send in contributions toThe Tribune for this column, eitherby mail or telephoning 13.)

A despatch from a Newfoundland Port gives an idea of the splendid work being done by Ingersoll seamen. , For two days, working in water so ■ cold that inlet valves on their breathing apparatus were in dan­ ger of freezing, a team of 10 Royal Canadian Navy divers strove to effect 1 underwater repairs ■ to a damaged corvette, and were successful in get­ ting the ship out to sea in time to overtake its convoy. The team, in charge of Warrant Boatswain Lawrence (Lon) Chaney of Vernon, B.C., and Victoria, had the satisfaction of completing the job 30 minutes ahead of the promised time, and has been commended by Commodore C, R. H. Taylor, Flag Officer, Newfoundland, for its efforts. Chaney was called for a "rush job” on a Thursday night and ad­ vised that the corvette could not sail until an important piece of gear had been repaired. He said he hoped to complete the job by the following Saturday afternoon. The next day the diving crew chopped holes in the ice and went to tackle the job. At intervals they were forced to chip ke off their gear. Peactime regulations are that divers must not work in water of less than 37 degrees’ temperature. Chaney’s crew worked in 27-degree water, their ruling having gone by the boards in wartime. “If we adhered to the old rul^s,” Chaney explained, “we couldn’t get 1 much work done in this port.” The crew, commended for “excel- ' lent service during most adverse i climatic and working conditions,” in- 1 eluded Petty Officer John Brown, Ingersoll, Ont., and Able Seaman ’ Hunter, Windsor, Ont. i In the ear was the owner, Wil­ liam Noad, his son.

Ttie car was said to be almost over the westbound tracks when the impact completely turned the car around and knocked it some distance to the south and west William Noad received a slight head injury, Nelson Noad was unin­ jured and Harold Underwood also received a cut and bruises on the head. No serious ill effects are ex­ pected from the narrow escape that might have proved a triple tragedy. FLT.-LIEUT. E R.

Edward R. Long, 26, who was presented with the Dis­ tinguished Flying Medal at St. Cath­ arines, Friday morning, “for cour­ age” during a bomber mission over Magdeburg, Geimany, on Oct. 14, 1941. The investiture took place before a full station parade at No, 4 wireless school flying squadron, when Group Capt. D. G. Williams, officer comman­ ding, pinned the medal on his tunic. Fit. Lt Long is now officer in charge of air operations at the school. The investiture, which ordinarily would take place before the King at Buck­ ingham Palace, was the first of its kind in St. Catharines. Fit. Lt. Long is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Claude K. Long, Ingersoll. His wife, the former Eva Margaret John­ ston, of Ingersoll, is now living at Niagara-on-the-Lake, near the SL Catharines R.C.A.F. school. The citation which accompanied the award was “this airman has shown high and consistent ability as a wire­ less operator during many attacks on enemy territory, including four raids on Berlin. On one occasion when the starboard engine of his aircraft failed, Sgt. Long succeeded in maintaining two-way communication with base and obtained two vital fixes, thus largely contributing to the safe return of the aircrart, “His keenness and enthusiasm for operations have set a splendid ex­ ample.” At the regular meeting of the .

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1944 Thanks for “The Bugler” Our thanks to the staff and pupils of Memorial School for a copy of their initial issue of “The Bugler”. The book contains 44 pages and is vastly interesting from cover to cover. The work of Shirley Thorn­ ton who designed the front cover is certainly commendable. It bears the school crest, a Maple Leaf, flank­ ed with Victory Memorial School, a smart young bugler and “Memorial Bugler” on a scroll. The issue con­ tains editorials, sport and school news, music, war effort, juniors, health and safety, literary and humor. Some of us may be pessimistic as to the future, which offers countless thrilling adventures to all of us, es­ pecially to those of the younger generation. Anyone who predicts that progress is at an end is likely to provoke the pitying smiles of the youngsters of to-morrow, if you don’t agree, just peruse the pages of “The Bugler” and be convinced that our iboya and girls arc going to get somewhere in their academic courses. It’s amazing to look over the drawings of the pupils from the small tots in the kindergarten to the seniors. They are aptly done and one sees humor depicted in some which shows lurking funniness in minds and fingers. The honour roll contains the names of over 400 who have joined the forces serving their country, among them twelve girls. Eight have made the supreme sacrifice and four are listed missing. To the pupils and staff, our con­ gratulations for a job well done and good wishes for future issues of “The Bugler.” A Wise Decision Thousands of Canadian hearts were lightened last week by the announcement that time for payment of 1943 income tax balances has been extended tho August 31st. Many patriotic citizens, gloomy because of their conviction that they couldn’t meet the -income tax payments by April 30th and buy Sixth Victory Loan bonds at the same time, now.rejoice to find that they will not be barred from joining their fellow’ countrymen in the most important home war effort to date. Most people have discovered that the purchase of Victory bonds gives them a tangible feeling that they are actually backing up Canadian men in uniform. To have taken away from a portion of these the opportun­ ity of participating again would have been regrettable. There is ample proof that throughout the rank and file of Canadian citizens there is far more than enough ready cash to pass the minimum objective of 1,200,- 000.000 for the Sixth Victory %an campaign. With the income tax snag removed, sales to individuals should surpass all previous records. Official Ottawa deserves added commendation in this regard because the income tax announcement was mhde a month before the Victory Loart opening instead of ithe eve of the campaign. Time has' thus ’been allowed for a readjustment • of -per-; sonal budgets, and a spirit of buoy-j ancy has been injected into the pre­ loan period which should prove in­ valuable in creating the enthusiasm necessary to the success of any campaign. Production, Eggs, Poultry, Advance Even before the war the egg and poultry productiqp on Canadian farms "constituted a sizeable business m itself. Now it is in -tim really big business class as is sho’in by the fol­ lowing figures taken from a recent report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics: In 1939 fhe number of laying hens on farms totalled 24,- ,024,000, which laid an aggregate of 221,737,000 dozen eggs or an aver­ age 111 per hen. The average value per 'dbzen in that year was 18 Mr eenta and the total value was 941,-037.000. In 1943 there were 31,-725,000 laying hens on farms whichlaid 315,037,000 dozen eggs, an la-crease of 36.2 per cent over 1939,with an average of 116 per hen. The average priee per dozen in 1943 was 31.8 cents and the aggregate value 3100,306,000, an increase of about 42 per cent over the value in 1939. Ontario accounted for 936,- 885,000 of the 1943 total value with Saskatchewan in second place with 114,602,000; Quebec in third place with 914.496,000 and Alberta fourth with 99,833,000. The production of poultry meat has also shown a significant gain dur­ ing the war years. Production of poultry meat in 1939 was 211,988,- 000 lbs. In 1943 it was 263,432,000 lb., an increase of 24.3 per cent over 1939. The gross farm income from eggs and poultry in 1939 was 970,926.000; in 1943 it was $166,- 915,000, an increase of about 135 per cent. About 80 friends of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Laars, gathered at their home on Friday night, to honor them in view of their recent mar­ riage. During the course of an even­ ing which progressive euchre and a splendid supper were features, the b ride and groom were presented with beautiful floor and bridge lamps, also a set of silverware. The ad­ dress was read by Fred Henderson and the presentations made by Reg­ inald Todd, Harry Burton and Charles Haycock. The prize winners in the euchre contest were Miss Ed­ wards and Mr. Hartwell Foster. — F r« — HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA The regular meeting of the Y.P.S. of St Paul’s Presbyterian Church, was held in the church parlors on Monday evening. The president, Edith Ites, presided with Robert Paterson at the piano. Miss Jean Winlaw assisted with the devotional exercises. After the business period, the meeting was turned over to Miss Irma Hutt, convener of the educa­ tional group. A piano duet by Doris and Jack Hutt was enjoyed. Dr. Austin Paterson fwas the speaker of the evening. A vocal solo by Mrs. Robert Wark, accompanied by Mr. James Deamude, delighted all. The regular monthly meeting of the Lady Dufferin Chapter, I.O.D.E., was held at the home of Mrs. Gordon SAFE MILK SUPPLY NEEDED Toronto, Ont. — “Individuals who agitate against pasteurization of milk and milk products are not serving the best interests of their fellow countrymen,” the Health League of Canada, said recently. The League reaffirmed its determination to achieve national compulsory pas­ teurization."Those individuals who, chiefly by letters to newspapers, attack the advisability of pasteurization are either ignorant of the facts or are prompted by other motives, The Health League declared. "The public should realize that these per­ sons are setting up their unsuppor­ ted opinions against the universal findings of the medical profession and associated scientific workers. "Milk is a wholesome,' beneficent food if proper precautions are taken. In its raw state it is a menace to health and life,” the League said. “It is doubtful if in all the wars in human history as many people have been killed, as there have been by drinking unpasteur­ ized milk.” “Weeding out of dairy herds those animals which suffer from tuberculosis, Bang’s disease, and other communicable diseases, is a necessary step, but this alone will not assure a safe milk supply", it was stated. Milk has frequently been found to have been contaminated by human handlers. "Those who oppose pasteurization should have be prepared to accept some responsibility for the harvest of lives and sickness taken annually in Canada by such milk-borne dis­ eases as bovine tuberculosis, undu- lant fever, typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, septic sore throat, diphtheria and scarlet fever.” E. Payne, Thames street south, on Monday afternoon. The regent, Mrs. C. K. Long, presided. The Empire Day Tea is to be bold at the home of Mrs. C. W. Riley, May 23rd. The hostess, assisted by Mrs. F. W. Bow­ man, and Miss Lucille Watterworth, served tea. Members of the Ingersoll Badmin­ ton Club motored to Dutton on Thursday evening. The local club won ten sets to four for the home players. The local players were: Gladys Knights, Mra L. Kirby, Mary Johnston, Mrs. F. H. Stone, Mrs. G. JBartlett, Mrs. F. G. Rich, L. Kirby, Victor Shipton, George Bart­ lett, Stewart Hutt, Harold Gray and S. Cahill. Members of the Young Ladies Sodality of the Church of the Sacred Heart, presented the comedy drama, “Rose of the Southland”, in the town Hall on Tuesday evening, Councillor S. M. Shelton acted as chairman.. A feature of the evening was a minuet dance by four girls and four boys, under the direction of Mrs. Harold F. McKinley. Between acts, Mrs. H. G. Furlong, Mrs. F. N. Horton, and Miss Margaret Copeland contributed ‘ I MORE VITAMIN C PER.’ GRAPEFRUIT As Mortimer Snerd —says’. “It looks as if Spring has sprung!” But in spite of that good news we all realize that it will be several weeks before our gardens start supplying our tables with any of those little, fresl\, 'green things that are so full of vitamins. Mean­ while, the supply of vegetables on hand in the basement is dwindling —and so is any Vitamin C that they may contain! These next few weeks mark a Vitamin C danger-point for Can­ adians—for we are more likely now, than at any other time of the year, to suffer from a shortage of ascorbic acid. So let us make it a point of hon­ or with ourselves to see that our families have an orange or half a grapefruit ever}’ day, without fail. The citrus fruits are plentiful now and can be a very welcome help to the de.^jrt problem that always seems to face us at this time of year. . A word about ’grapefruit—the grapefruit we buy are still rather green; so bring them home, put them in a spot that is not too warm, (but not in the refrigerator), and let them stand a week before you use them. They will be riper, better in flavor, and the Vitamin 'C content will be higher. This means keeping a supply of grapefruit on hand ahead of time but you’ll find that it’s well worth the effort. Try it and see!

SALFORDThe operetta, “Hamiel and Gretel”,waa well presented by the senior boy*and girls of the public achool to anaudience which filled the schoolroom to capacity, at the March meet­ing of the Hdme and School Associa­tion, on Friday evening. • This verypretty musical drama had a beauti­ful theme: “When past bearing isour grief, God the Uord will sendrelief,** which, although only men­tioned twice, was clearly depictedduring the performance. Each of thecharacters did their part well, spec­ial mention might be made of theleading characters, Hansel andGretel, enacted by Beverley Long and Joan Dunham, who not only sangso nicely, but were good actors as, well. The Witch, played by Virginia (Harris, was the “funny” character,who after creating great fear in theminds of the children, afterwardsmet her doom at their hands by re­ceiving the fate she was preparing. for them. The lovely scenes in thisthree act drama, made it very real.The broom maker’s home in the first scene, the lovely woods in the sec­ond and the candy house in the woods in the second and the candyhouse in the wood, where the .witchlived in the third, were all workedout and arranged by the boya andgirls. In the second scene, the beau­tiful tableau by the fourteen angels,made a very striking picture, and thechorus they sang was well renderedas was also the chorus by the ginger­bread children in the final act. Thetypical Dutch and other appropriatecostumes of the cast added much tothe play. Joan ■Loosmore and Mrs.Phinn, the school music teacher, |were the piano accompanists and I Miss Verna Bratt, principal of theschool, was the director of this very fine operetta. Mr. Cumming operatedthe spotlight during the performancewhich made the scenes more effect­ive. Between the act*, Miss EstherWarren, Mr. Charles Walker, or­ganist of St. James’ Anglican Church,Ingersoll, and Mrs. Phinn contributedpiano numbers and Billie Ranneyplayed several selections on his trom­bone. The cast of the operetta wasas follows: Peter, a broom maker,Bill Ranney; Gertrude, his w’ife,Flora Fishback; Hansel, their son,Beverley Long; Gretel, their daugh­ter, Joan Dunham; witch, who eatslittle children, Virginia Harris;sandman, who puts little children tosleep, Gregg Harris; dawn fairy, whowakes little children up, YvonneDunham; gingerbread children andfourteen angels, who make a tableau,senior girls. The first part of thismusical evening consisted of a threepart song by six senior pupils; twoEaster songs by the junior girls;group songs by the seniors, with duetparts taken by Yvonne and JoanDunham and Donna Pressey and JoanLoosmore. The junior boys did two ,very fine musical exercises which ,were much enjoyed. A very finefeature of the evening was the pre­sentation of diplomas to each of the .senior pupils for Scripturrf memoriza­tion, these pupils having memorized ’the Books of the Bible, Lord’sPrayer, Ten Commandments and theBeatitudes, the last two being re- (cited in unison by the pupils at thistime. Five of the junior pupils inthe highest grades each received adiploma for memorizing the Bboksof the Bible which they recited inunison. Rev. R. B. Cumming gavethe explanation concerning this rclig- *ious training being taught in the 1schools and the teachers, Misses ,Bratt and Norman, presented the di- (plomas to the pupils and Mr. Cum- ,ming to the teachers.

WOODSTOCK - ONT. This is one in a series of. messages explaining problems of electric supply to farm and hamlet consumers served dried by The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Uniform Rural Meter Rates Anywhere in Ontario Our last advertisement illustrated the reductions Which will apply to farm and hamlet services in most areas in the ProVince. Herein we give some of the reasons for and benefits of the new Uniform Meter Rate. The cost of rural electric service is made up of two main parts: (1) The cost of providing electricity in bulk nt Convenient central points (substations); (2) The cost of distributing thia electricity from these substations to the user. Since electricity cannot be stored, it is necessary to provide lines made up of poles, conductor, transformers, etc., to carry the electricity from the substation tothe consumer so that each user will have service available at the flip of a switch. To the cost of building these lines must be added the cost bf maintaining anjd operating them. Electric service rates originally included a Servici Charge to cover the cost of distribution, plus a meter rate to cover the cost of the bulk electricity at the sub­ station. The Province (was divided into a nuniber of tural power districts created around available substations without particular" regard to township or county boun­ daries. Each of these district® had its own meter rate, varying from a high of .6c, 2c and %c to a low of 2>4c, l ’/ic and %c., \ During the past twenty years many complioatioite and inequalities have arisen in .trying to maintain the identity of these districts, Therefore in order to provide suitable service to all at«the lowest and fairest cost, the 120 Rural Pgwer Districts have' been combined into one Provincial Rural Power System with a Uniform' Meter* Rate of 4y, 1^5/10c and %c. * f'Toyy; all Rural Power Consumers anywhere in the Province pay ihe same meter rate. This Uniform Rate represents a reduction in most of the old districts and an increase in only a few districts formerly having a very low rate. These explanations are given to help you understand the new rate. In our next message, we shall discuss, for your benefit, the MINIMUM BILL. In the'meantime, if you need further information, please ask your Rural District Superintendent.

Mrs. Harris had not been in good health for the past three years, i and for the last few weeks her con­ dition had been grave. Mrs. Harris who was in her 90th year, was born in England and came to Canada 37 years ago and resided in Embro for 11 years be­ fore coming to Ingersoll, and her kindly and cheery manner had en­ deared her to scores of friends. Left to mourn the passing of a dearly beloved wife and mother are | her husband, two sons, James in i England and Joseph with the U. S. (coastguard; four daughters, Mrs., R. Clare, and Mrs. Thomas Fordham, Ingersoll; Mrs. Bert Searle, England, and Mrs. Arthur Springall, Beach- ville. Also surviving are 32 grand-/ children and 80 great-grandchildren, to all of whom the sympathy of their many friends is extended in their irreparable loss. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, where an impressive service was conducted by Rev| H. E?' Merifleld, rector of St. James' Angli­ can Church at 2.30 o’clock. The service was largely attended and-the beautiful floral tokens bore silent tribute to the esteem in which de­ ceased- was held and sympathy for the sorrowing family. Temporary entombment was made in the Inger­ soll Mausoleum. The pallbearers were William Fordham, George Springall, Elmer McLeod, William Herd, Harold and Walter Clare, all grandsons of the deceased. "I should think you’d go slow,’* said the cautious friend. “You know, as Lincoln said, ‘you can fool all the people some of the time and some of people’—’’' “That's all right,” interrupted the sharper, “but I find It’s always pos­ sible ’ to' fool enough of the people enough of the .time,” Water and Poultry In common with human beings, animals, fruits, vegetables, all forms o/ vegetation, and in nearly all min­ erals, water is the chief constituent of the body of a chicken. When the total 60 per cent water contained in its body has been extracted, a 5-lb. chicken weighs only 2 lb. The bones are almost half water and water con­ stitutes nearly 90 per cent of a chick­ en’s blood. About half the entire water content is found in the flesh. Eggs are 65 per cent water. Without water, life is impossible in nature and it is so important to the physical body that the loss of one fifth of the body moisture means death. Water is both life and food. Just as important as the water itself is the manner in which it is served. The supply must be dean and copious. It should be cool in warm weather and in cold weather the chill should be taken off. Experiments with poul­ try have shown that pullets drank 25 per cent more water during cold weather when the water was warmed. As a result egg production’ was greater. Like cattle and other dom­ estic animals poultry will not only refuse to drink enough cold water in cold weather but their bodies have to raise the water they did drink to the proper temperature. This process consumes heat and uses up feed that should have been applied to product­ ion purposes. So keep the water sup­ ply constant and plentiful at a tem­ perature suitable to the season.

The hymn "The Litany ofthe Passion” was a fitting lead forthe tenor and male chorus of Christ's desire for the foregiveness of the transgressors, while the duet by the bass and tenor told of the agonized prayer to forgive. The hymn, “The Mystery of the Intercession”, gave the participants a revelation of the wonders of the crucified Lord. The tenor, bass and chorus gave the story of how one of the malefactors rebuked the other and was rewarded by the promise of a place in Para­ dise. This was followed by the beau­ tiful hymn, “The Adoration of the Crucified.” s The recitative by tenor, bass and chorus depicted the thoughtfulness of Jesus in giving the care of His Mother to the disciple whom He loved and there was darkness in the land. The bass recitative “Is it noth­ ing to you,” was followed by the choir singing "The Appeal of the the Crucified”, and coming to a con­ clusion of the meditation iwith tenor solo and male chorus on the accom­ plishment of the Scripture. The hymn. “For the Love of Jesus” ended the presentation.

This job has continued day and night without stop for four and a half years. FROM SEPTEMBER 10,1939 to March 10,1944 the Cana­ dian National carried more than 100 million passengers and 300 million tons of freight. Since the beginning of the war the Canadian National Dining Car Department has served 13,631,387 meals.• THE RAILWAY not only hauled away the completed m unitions of war, but'brought in the raw mate­ rials to make them. Without this two-way ser­ vice, Canada’s magnificent job of production could not have been carried out. The Canadian National itself builds mine-sweepers, 12,000-ton freighters, naval guns and gun mountings, air­ craft components, and parts for other gun factories.• OF THE 100 MILLION PASSENGERS carried, a high percentage consisted of members of the armed forces proceeding to camps for training and to shipboard for embarkation. STEAMSHIPS OF THE COMPANY, though reduced in nuqibers by sinkings through enemy action, have served gallantly in th e war as auxiliary armed cruisers, hospital ships and transports. CANADIAN NATIONAL Express and Telegraph facili­ ties have worked to capacity to meet war de­ mands. | The Canadian National’s nine hll-year hotels, situated in cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, have provided service of an'essential nature to thbse engaged in the war effort. All the Com­ pany’s resort hotels are closed for the duration. 22% OF THE PERSONNEL in Company’s service in 1939 have joined the armed forces. In Victory Loan cam­ paigns Canadian National men and women have purchased bonds to the amount of $26,924,600. IRANS-CANADA AIR LINES, subsidiary of the Canadian National Railways, has carried 435,000 passengers during the war, 9,417,000 pounds of air mail letters, and 1,476,000 pounds of wartime air express. Trans-Canada Air Lines is also flying the Atlantic regularly with m ail to and from the armed forces. TRANSPORT fin a NATION AT WAR The Canadian National has been privileged to join with all the citizens of our country, including those who are serving in the armed forces, in the prosecution of the war. It believes that Canadians will be interested in this outline of some of the System’s war activities. Extrartu from Annual tteport of the D irecton of the Canadian National System : OUR OBJECTIVE III 1943, as in other war years, was to place thZfulI strength of our man­ power and facilities behind the war effort of the United Nations, To this end all energies have been directed. The requirements of the armed forces, of industry and agriculture, for transport and other services, have been met in all of the nine Provinces of the Dominion and in the import­ ant sections of the United States in which we operate. RECORD TRAFFIC These demands were greater than ever before, the traffic moved in 1943 being 17.3% greater than in 1942, the previous peak war year, and 44.7% greater than in 1928, the peak peace year. Freight traffic in 1943 was more than double that of 1939, and passenger traffic four Ames that of 1939. Despite this, the very large ipoverfients of war materials and personnel reached their destinations in accordance with schedule ar­ rangements. There was no lowering of the recognized standards of safety. MANUFACTURE OF MUNITIONS The Company also extended its activities as a manufacturer of munitions, ships and naval appliances. EARNING POWER The 1943 operations demonstrated the great earning power of the System, the railway proving again that it can handle an immense volume of business economically as well as expeditiously. After providing from revenue for all oper­ ating expenses (including deferred mainte­ nance, depreciation, amortization of defence projects and reserve for inventories) and also a reserve for pension contracts, taxes, interest on funded debt and Government loans, the sufplus paid in cash to the Government was ^5,639,412. OPERATING EFFICIENCY > The operating ratio for the year was 73.64% (an all-time record) as compared with 76.93% in 1942 and 81.99% in the peak peace year of 1928. It is interesting to note that the vastly increased war traffic in 1943 was handled with 16.6% fewer locomotives, 15.4% fewer freight cars and 5.1% more passenger cars than was the traffic of 1917, the fourth year of the last World War. SPECIAL. SERVICES PROVIDED The Company was honoured in being selected to provide extensive train and other services for Prime Minister Churchill, President Roose­ velt and Madam Chiang Kai-Shek during their visits to Canada in 1943. POST-WAR Changing conditions will call for new methods of railway operation and new types of service, and there must needs be a continuing search for improvement in all aspects of the railway industry. In view of this, the Company has in hand a programme of research. This pro­ gramme, in addition to considering ways and meahs of improving service and efficiency of operation, also encompasses the problems of post-war reconstruction and rehabilitation. THE OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES in all departments of the System have worked hard and loyally to cope with increased responsibilities arising out of the war, and the directors record their appreciation and thanks. The traditional harmonious relations between management and employees were maintained throughout the year. Appreciation also is expressed to shippers and the travelling public alike for their cooperation in and sympathetiq/Junderstanding of difficult operating conditions caused by the war. / / Chairman and President ’ -I ' . _^-**7 ****t • 3 4 ,50°^ CANADIAN NATIONAL .

Mr. and Mrs. Slater have been valued members of Wesley United Church and have been keenly interested and active in many church and community activities and they will be greatly missed by a host of Jarvis anfl district friends. Miss Meta G.

Mrs. Slater has for some years been a valued member of Wesley Church where she rendered outstanding ser­ vice as soprano soloist in the choir. The evening was enjoyably spent and included the serving of delicious refreshments by the hostess-and her assistants.

PhonelM INGERSOLL All this talk about Ottawa being a “girl-town” seems to be ocular mis­ conception. The whole nation will probably be astounded, as was the writer, to learn from latest figures of the Bureau of Statistics that Ot-1 tawa has 72,600 males, 82,351 fe-| males. But you wouldn’t think so by a street glance. Of the total. 31,500 were shown as English origin, 32,-I 347 Irish, 19,520 of Scottish extract­ ion and .48,081 French. Eskimos and Indiana resident in Ottawa number 41. An amazing record. The Minister of Munitions and Supply, Mr. Howe, told the House of Commons that since the beginning of war, contracts awarded by the department neared $9,500 millions, and that 800,000 workers are engaged in actual pro­ duction of war equipment, with aTn- other 200,000 in subsidiary work. A breakdown of some of this makes astonishing reading. Canada produ­ ced, for instance 4,133 aircraft last year as well as 15,500 armored vehicles. We made 45,000 artillery gun barrels, carriages and mountings, in 1943 and will exceed the 1943 total of 580,000 machine guns, rifles, etc. We produced 30 million rounds of gun ammunition and 1.5 billion rounds of small arm stuff. In addition our workers built 150 cargo vessels and 100 naval vessels and delivered 3,600 small craft out of 4,300 orders placed. This is only part of the picture because there ■was a tremendous amount of de­ fence construction and other projects too.• • • Subsidies for canning crops will be continued this year, it is announced. Tomatoes get the most attention with a $6 a ton subsidy for producers sell­ ing to processors—an increase of $3 over 1943. The subsidy of $4 remains unchanged for com; peas $10 shelled' weight or $2 straw weight; green and wax beans $7.50 a ton. The government is continuing these sub-, sidies in the fear that other crops requiring less labour might be sub­ stituted. This fear was borne out by the fact that production of tomatoes,, corn, peas and beans declined last year.• • • There has been quite a change in the regulations for Spring seeding and harvest leave granted army per-, sonnel, such leave now being exten-j ded from six weeks to two months.. An interesting factor is that restrict­ ions have been eliminated on the • number who may be granted agricul­ tural leave. Last year there was a limit of five tper cent from any par­ ticular unit This year only those j who are deemed essential, cannot go. Applications for leave must come from the soldiers themselves, and they must pay their own transpor­ tation. Five CanadiaiF artists have been overseas placing on canvas for fu­ ture generations the life of Canada’s sons in World War II. First results have been included in a recent ex-1 hibition of war art at the National Gallery in London, England. From time to time the finished paintings will be shown -.across the Dominion eventually to form a national collect- ; ion which will surely be reflected in the murals of Canadian public build­ ings. The artists even shared the life of operational stations ‘went on coastal patrols', to get “the feel" for the canvasses.* * • At various times fanners have pro­ tested daylight saving as a perman­ ent wartime measure. A survey by the Power Controller of Canada brought the information that for the Maritimes cancellation would mean an estimated 10 'per cent increased pow^r 'demand," undesirable at pres­ ent!

Trans-Canada Airlines showed a 34 per cent pass­ enger increase last year, with air­ mail up 60 per cent . . . 28,45G,959 tons of coal were, imported into Quebec and Ontario from the U.S.A, and Great Britain last year, with $814, 449 being paid in subsidies in the past two years to those import­ ing fuel from Great Britain into these two provinces.

AH provinces showed the upswing, both for hired help by day and by the month. For day help with board, it averaged $2.45 in Jan­ uary as compared, with $2.02 in Jan­ uary, 1943. By the month it was $49.44 as against $40.85.
