The amount raised as given out on Saturday was 8418.72, with expen­ ses of 870.81. with a balance of 8342.91, being deposited to the credit of the British War Victims’ Fund. Last year, Harold Catling, 10-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Cat­ ling conceived the idea of a penny carnival, that was so well patronized that it was continued this year with even greater success. The features included bingo, refreshment booths, White Elephant sale, ring game, Walter Mayes' monkeys, donkey game, lucky dip game, music by Ing­ ersoll Pipe Band, and a pleasing program of vocal and instrumental music. Art Nunn was master ef ceremonies. The affair drew a crowd of about 500 andvfor the success of the pres­ entation unstinted praise has been given to Miss Marjorie Smith, to­ gether with other members of the juvenile committee. For Mrs. Alfred Catling who has acted as treasurer, much praise has also been heard- Committee was composed of Mar­ jorie Smith, Harold Catling, origin­ ator of the “Penny Carnival”, Marie Calloway, Jack Smith and Alma Tonks, who from the beginning of the arrangements for the event were constantly alert. In the final stages of tbe under­ taking, co-operation of a most gener­ ous nature, and which was highly appreciated, was rendered by Gordon Paterson on behalf of the Borden Co. This was especially in having the grounds- wired, in providing seating accommodation and preparing the booths. The Public Utilities Com­ mission also co-operated to a marked degree with various phases of the work and members of the committee are most appreciative of the assist­ ance they have received. The grounds presented a most attractive appearance Thursday night, lights were gleaming and the scene of animation was in every way typical of a carnival.

The project is now well on the way on the 188 farms selected and special field record sheets, of uniform type, are now being distributed to the 188 farmers and the local asso­ ciations, so that complete and ac­ curate data can be compiled on the results of the experiments. At the end of the 1944 season, these forms will be submitted to John D. Mc­ Leod, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Depart­ ment of Agriculture, who will make a tabulation and analysis of the re­ sults and make this information available to all farmers. The inform­ ation to be recorded Include* topo­graphy, type of soil, drainage condi­tions, soil analysis, previous crop andfertilising history, preparation ofbed, date and method of seeding,nuree crop sown, method of harvest­ing nurse crop, date when pasturingstarted, number of cattle pasturedand number of pasture days on eachplot. In addition, co-operator* areasked to make ram*- general com­ment on catches of seed grasses andclovers, preference shown by cattle for demonstration plot and increase in milk and beef production from pasturing on the demonstration plot. This information will be compiled after November 1st, 1944, and is expected to provide the basis for a general forward movement in perm­ anent pasture improvement in years to come. < Ration Coupon Due Dates Coupons now due are preserves DI to D24; butter 86 to 71; tea­ coffee 14 to 29, El to E6, and T30 to T37; sugar 14 to 37; canning sugar Fl to F10.

After all a picnic ia more or les* a matter of eating outdoor*. So why not plan frequent supper* or lunches that can be carried out­ side. You’ll find that children think it is an adventure, and it’s not much trouble. A shady spot with some cushions or a rug to sit on, a place to put the extra food and you are all set. If you have enough small tray*, so that each person can have his own, it will be perfect. No dining room to clean up, few dishes to wash and everybody's happy. The picnic is a great institu­ tion. LUNCH Picnic appetites are likely to be big, so plan the eats accordingly. Sandwiches are easy to prepare and good to serve; use soft rolls or bread sliced not too thin. Salads in chilled bowls should be filling, potato with onion, raw cabbage with radishes, jellied beet with peas, string beans with raw carrots. Relishes, the ones you can pick -up with your fingers, stimulate the picnic meal—radishes, wedges of cucumber, small tomatoes, strips of pepper, pickled eggs, etc. Desserts are not a problem during the fresh fruit season: Serve fresh fruit and a few cookies. Order half pints of milk for the day and chill before serving. ONTARIO GROWN No. 1 GRADE COOKING ONIONS ONTARIO GROWN CABBAGE - .

G. Davidson, Feeds Ad­ ministrator, said, that, while there were ample proteins and grains to meet current needs, he would like to emphasize the fact that poultrymen could not hope to keep expanding at the rate they had been doing in the past few years and have the same conditions. Poultry had received the major share of higher proteins and better quality grains. If there was to be any increase in the feed intake in Canada in the next year, it should be more for the pro­ duction of dairy products and "not poultry and hogs, because the United Nations considered that dairy pro­ ducts held first priority as food, not only for the Allied Nations but for the masses that would have to be fed in liberated areas. In fact, some' of the higher feeds might have to be directed to the dairy field to bring about a proper balance in over-all production. _ The discouraged owner of a small coffee shop in Ohio gave up the ghost and placed a sign on the door: "No coffee, no sugar, no help, no oil, no heat, no profit 'If you want a square meal, join the army.” w eu. /wWAfKSO, SCMS&fTi [ yes, L / 4 2 2 AW £V/£W AV£M/£. lya/'u. /r J I flVB'U y K M M ASS&MT y A S7M &2S/S L 1 a w w /ms, r AfAPAAf A A MT10F w a t t B /e OLP 1MM7C££ CWFA/BWSW FA17£ O W y PF 77* &PP7F /F LET’S SHARE HOUSING, TOO!

Five medium sized egg* will make about one cup of filling. 2. Mince or grind cooked tongue, 'beef, pork or other meats. Sea­ son with salt, pepper and may­ onnaise or relish. 3. Crisp vegetable fillings may be served at the picnic on the lawn since they may not be shortly before the meal. Shredded let­ tuce, sliced tomatoes, minced on­ ions, grated greens, etc., are good, moistened 'with very little seasoned salad dressing. TAKE A TIP Stains on summer clothes may be removed at home if treated imme­ diately using the following steps: A few drops of stain remover should be applied to the stain. Rinse mater­ ial. If stain is stubborn,' hold the stain in steam over the spout of a boiling kettle. Apply “remover" again. 1. For berry stains use javel water on white cotton, linen, or rayon. Sponge coloured cotton, linen, or rayon with warm water before applying lemon juke or peroxide. 2. Mercurochrome stains are re­ moved by treating all fabrics with wood alcohol, then vinegar, and then wood alcohol again. 3. Mildew left for any length of time is almost impossible to re­ mover- Wash as soon as noticed in hot, soapy water, then put into javel water and oxalic sol­ ution (three or four tbls. for quart of water) alternately. 4. Grass stain on white cotton lin­ en, or rayon may be removed with javel water or peroxide, but use wood alcohol on coloured fabrics. 5. Lipstick: Sponge marks on cot­ tons and linens with a stain re­ mover or carbon tetrachloride; "on all coloured fabrics, work in cold cream, then follow with carbon tetrachloride. 6. Paint may be removed by soaking stain in turpentine or carbon tetrachloride. All stain removing agents should be removed 'by sponging or washing all material, then press, using ab­ sorbent cloth over cleaned material. Annual Clean-up Laying Quarters After the old hens are culled in the summer and before the new pullet* are brought in from therange, an opportunity unprovided to give the laying quarters/ thorough cleaning. Usually some of the old birds are kept for laying or breed­ ing purposes. Those that are chosen should be the healthiest and most vigorous. Part of the laying house accommodation, preferably a separ­ ate building, should first be cleanedout thoroughly and'.-those birds which are to be kept placed in it. • PRESERVIPH Fruit Jars Jar Habben S’ Jar Tops 20* Jels Rite Parowax .S-ai 12* Dr. Jackson’sRoman Meal Delicious Quaker Muffets - QuakerCorn Flakes - - Assorted Flavour*Dalton’s Puddings When Available — U*e , ib H O C Super-Creamed Crisco Heinz Vinegar - • £tt*i 2 V Crosse & Blackwell Thick A AMeat Sauce ■ - ■ 25* SUPPLIES Jelly Jan ■ 19* 49* 25* Certs 25* Fiuit-Kepe^ZS* Fruit-Pak 18* - 29< 2 17< 2 1 5 < Great Northern BrandSILVETS -SMOKED BABDINES D* OIL 2 25* BAB-O CLEANER - 2 25® Shoe Polish2.

S. Munro, Poul­ try Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. First move out all the equipment, feed hoppers, water stands, nests, roosts and dropping boards, if mov­ able. Then scrape out all loose lit­ ter and droppings on both floors and side walls. If water pressure is avail­ able, hose out the house. Dirt which cannot be loosened with the vaster from the hose should be well soaked and allowed to stand with the house closed up tight to keep in the mois­ ture The dirt should be sprinkled at intervals until it can be readily re­ moved with a scraper. Then scrape loose all remaining dirt and sweep or wash out with water pressure. After this is done use a strong lye solution, about one lb. to 6 gallons at water or a good coal tar disinfect­ ant sprayed or sprinkled over the entire inside of the house. This should be allowed to stand for a few hours and then washed out with water. The house can then be left with doors and windows open io dry out. The roosts, feed hoppers and other equipment should be thor­ oughly scraped, scrubbed off and dis­ infected before being placed back in the house. When the house is dry, fresh, litter can be placed on the floor ready for the new pullets. After the pullets are housed the colony houses range shelters and feeding and watering equipment used on range should be cleaned for use the following spring. > An annual clean-up helps not only to guard the new pullets against contracting disease from the old birds but serves to keep the poultry plant reasonably neat and clean.

Leslie Emslke —For the fertiliser year of 1844-45 Canadian farmers are likely toget more potash, and the two bigsellers, M M and 4-8-10, whichwere temporarily reduced to 2-12-4and 4-8-8, will be restored. Thio io good news to those who farm on lighter soda While quotas for fer­ tiliser materials, aet by the Combined Food Board in Washington, indicate that Canada will have abundant sup- splics of nitrogen, phosphate and pot­ ash, G. 8. Peart, Fertilisers Admin­ istrator, warns that UNRRA may upset the calculation. The function of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is to provide liber­ ated countries of Europe with food and the means for producing it, and UNRRA has prior claim on supplies. Deliverance from the Nazi yoke will not end the needs of these peoples for outside help, and more favoured lands that never knew enslavement are willing to share the necessities of life with those who have been on short rations for years. Neutral Spain in her postwar per­ iod has profited in some ways be­ cause of her geographical position which permitted two-way dealing; the sale of tungsten, manganese and other minerals to Germany and of potash to the allied countries. Ger­ many, having more than enough of her own, did not need Spanish potash but got most of the Valencia orange crop that formerly went to Britain. A few cargoes of these oranges, in­ cluding a few grenades, were ship­ ped to English ports recently. The scarcity of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers in Spain is re­ flected in her decreased crop pro­ duction. In 1943 Spain had only 25% of her normal requirements of nitrogen and superphosphate, but seed mars potash because unable to• sport all her surplus of this dom­estic product. There is a seriousshortage of cereals in the country,and largo quantities of onto are beingimported from Argentina. But ow­ing to lack of foreign markets, Spainhas an overflow of wine, 180 milliohgallons of choice Sherry, Malaga,Alicante and Muscatel remainingat the start of the 1943 vintage. Save The Children Fund With 2,000 children leaving Lon­ don daily to escape the ravagee of robot bombs, the Save the Children Fund must meet new demands upon its resources. For this reason Fund officials are most appreciative of generous contributions regularly made by the Canadian and New­ foundland Elks, totalling more than >55.000 in the past two years. So said J. C. McRuer, K.C., To- ronto, chairman of the Fund's Can­ adian Committee, commenting on a cheque for >6,600 sent by the Benev­ olent and Protective Order of Elks of Canada and Newfoundland. The money was raised last month through 156 lodges. Mr. McRuer mentioned another gift to the Fund of >1,000 which had come from two British women war guests living in Hamilton, Ont. These women said they were anxious to dosomething for the Children of Eng­ land, not so fortunate as their own who are safe with them in Canada. Only internatiohal organization for child welfare work in the world, the Fund was started in London, Eng­ land, , after the last war, to bring relief to the children of war-stricken Europe. In Britain since this war began it has set up rescue homes in the coun­ try where young city children may enjoy the next best thing to family life in groups of 30 to 50. Nursery h<N*ci and. play centres hav* openedm the large wntiw for childrenwhose mothers are working and whofor one reason or another cannot beevacuated. When the raids come.Fund workers send blankets hot-water bottles and other comfortsinto the shelters.Also provided are mobile kitchensand eanteens, two of which havebeen supplied by the students of Havergal College, Toronto. They are sent into rural areas to serve hot nourishing meals to children of school age. For many of these child­ ren it is the only ' hot meal of the day. As the European countries are lib­ erated, these vehicles will be used for relief purposes by personnel now being trained by the Fund to work with UNRRA. The Canadian Com­ mittee will have a part in this work by sponsoring a team of British re­ lief workers as well as sending Can­ adian personnel,Among the directors of the Can­adian branch of the Fund are lead­ing clergymen of Church of England,United Church,, Roman Catholic,and Jewish faiths.

Then at another point this Minister pointed out that it is not the intention to have all the air services government-owned, but as be has declared many times in the past, the TransCanada Air Lines will be government-owned and will continue to be. “But it to the pur­ pose to develop subsidiary operations as private concerns under the Act,” us The interest in the nation’s capital in the results of the elections in Al­ berta, New Brunswick and Quebec has been increasing steadily and it is now -surprisingly no less than in the capitals of these provinces them­ selves, though ostensibly these are supposed to be tests of public opinion on local issues or problems. The view in usually well-informed political circles is that since the last general appeal to the people in 1940 by the King Government there has been poignant and painful evidence that public opinion in various sections of Canada has been in a peculiar state of vibratory waves so that unexpect­ ed upsets have marked and bitter re­ verses have been recorded at the polls against provincial governments as in the cases of Saskatchewan on June 15 of this year and Ontario last year, with the sole exception having been Prince Edward Island. Under these conditions, political prognosti­ cators along Parliament Hill are now most anxiously watching the latest reactions of public opinion in these provincial appeals to detect the ex­ tent of the temporary undulatory waves as a possible hint of what may be awaited in a general appeal to the people by the Federal Govern­ ment which is an event that is now expected to be not so far away. Therefore, these political tests are more than mere provincial events at tfts abnormal time because in their results 'may be obtained the clue to the solution of the mystery why public opinion has ‘been so unpredic­ table at the polls within Qie past year, with the results in each case of wave-like reactions considered in the light of their productiveness of sound proof in this respect. This point is stressed now since in the last Alberta election on March 21, 1940 the Social Credit Government was returned to power by winning 36 seats out of only 57, the Liberal Government in New Brunswick came into power on Nov. 20, 1939, by gaining 29 seats out of only 48, and the Liberal Government in Que­ bec was swept into power on October 25, 1939, as dissolution there showed this Government as having no less than 59 seats against only 17 for the Official Opposition. For the second time, the sole rep­ resentative in Canada’s Parliament of the “Canadian Party", Liquori Lacombe, member for Laval-Two Mountains in Quebec, has been the centre of an exciting incident in the House of Commons when he was “named” by the Speaker, escorted out of the Lower Chamber by the Sergeant-at-anns, and suspended for a period of seven days, with the first such suspension having been in March of 1942 only for the rest of the sitting when he had caused inter­ ruptions. After he had been warned several times by the Speaker for his interruptions of a speech by another member, the Speaker made this de­ cision. Though the member protested, yet it was moved by the Minuter of Pensions and National Health, Hon. Ian Mackenzie, and seconded by the Postmaster General, Hon. Mulock, that he be suspended for seven days, with this motion being carried and the representative being escorted out of the House of Commons by the Sergeant-at-arms. A report in Ottawa has shown that the former Food Administrator for the Wartime ‘Prices and Trade Board, Hon. J. G. Taggart, was paid by the Federal Government a total of $17.73S for salary and expenses, receiving $4,ISO for expenses from December, 1939, to March 31, 1914, as a member of the Meat Board and $12,675 in salary as well as $883 in expenses for his services with the Wartime Prices and Trade Board. In the report in the nation's cap­ ital that the cost of living index in this country during the last month there was a decrease from 119.2 to 119.0, based on 1935-1939 being 100 and bringing this increase in this war to 18.1 per cent, the attention of the general public must be dir­ ected to two vital facts. First, the cost of living bonus was merged with basic wage rates in December by a Government order and, second, that the whole price and wage control policy would be reconsidered by the Government if this cost of living in­ dex rose mpre than three per cent and it remained for two straight months so that the cost of living in­ dex would have to be 121.4 in order to be subject to complete reconsider­ ation. It was 119.0 in the last month. — (Reproduction Prohibited.) Captain Helen Doan has returnedto her base in Halifax after spend! a two weeks’ leave with her faDr. W.

Brewing industry BACKBONE OF CONTROL The vital part of statistics in-the whole set-up of the Government’s control of prices, wages, and salaries at this time can be seen behind the estimates of $140,000,000 for the Stabilization Fund, with Douglas Abbott, Parliament Assistant to the Minister of Finance, having reported in the House of Commons that it was very difficult to offer any concrete estimate exactly how much money had been saved by this means. How­ ever, he did declare that the pro­ gramme of subsidies had been fol­ lowed in order to allow essential things to be sold at ceiling prices and to prevent any general rise in prices, asserting that it had been estimated that a one point rise in the cost of living would have meant an additional expenditure of $85,000,- 000 a year by the people of Canada. If conditions in this war have been compared with those of the last war when there was no such system of price controL nor use of subsidies, he pointed out that at the same per­ iod of the last war that had corres­ ponded with the end of last year the cost of living had risen 56 points a* against the rise at the end of last year of 18.3. Of course, he did not suggest that the subsidies wire re­ sponsible for all the money saved but these were a vital part of the her sistLondon?

Beet Acreage About 70,000 NATIONAL Aug. 2 NOTE the change in day* for tbit collection—Tuesday, Ward1 and 2, and Wednesday, Ward 3. Everything pomts to a splendid recovery in the production of sugar beet* in 1944. The Dcsninion-Provin- eial Agricultural Conference in De­ cember, 1943, set a* its 1944 object­ ive 63,400 acre* and the latest re­ ports received indicate that a total of about 70.009 acres have been planted. This is just about equal to the 70,709 acres of 1941, which was the second largest acreage ever pro­ duced in the history of the sugar beet industry in Canada. Last year the acreage dropped to 52,590 acre* so that the 1944 crop represent* an increase over 1948 of 17.000 acre*, or 82 per cent This is the reply of the farmers of Canada to the appeal of the Govern­ ment for more sugar beets to ease the sugar situation. In spite of the many difficulties with which they knew they would be faced in produ­ cing sugar beets they have again shown their eagerness to co-operate in maintaining production goals and backing up the war effort. The actual acreage contracted for between the companies and the growers this year totalled 71,438 acres. The plantings by provinces as reported at the middle of June were as follows: Ontario, 16,009 acres; Alberta, 30,009; Manitoba, 14,000; Quebec, 9,500—Total 69,500 acres. Latest reports indicate that the 1944 crop is generally, in good con­ dition and prospect* are for a good crop. With much needed help sup­ plied by Japanese, German prisoners of war, Conscientious Objectors and in some cases by Canadian sol­ dier* and civilians, cultivation is pro­ gressing favourably. Generally speak­ ing, the work done by these various groups has been very satisfactory. — By Jim Grwnbiat — At the end of May Canadian prisoners of war numbering 5,278 were scattered through 47 camps in Germany, and 11 camp* in the Far East Of the.- prisoners, 8 are from the Navy, 8.269 Army, 1,496 Air Force, 145 Merchant Navy. Men and non-commissioned officers work in stone quarries, on river work, brick laying, lumbering agriculture, beet factories, anything that is not directly connected with the prosecu­ tion of the war. They work usually nine or 10 hours a day, usual pay being 70 pfenning* a day. The first parcel a prisoner gets is a Red Cross “capture parcel”, packed in Canada and stocked in London. Details of the Sixth Victory Loan are now revealed. On an objective of $1,290,000,000, subscriptions to­ talled $1,407,547,650, with 3,770,- 000 individual applications. The armed forces bought $47 millions, those overseas $13 millions. Finance Minister Haley told the House of Commons that cost of the issue would not exceed 88 cents for each $100.

W. WILFORD INGERSOLL For the first time the CanadianWheat Board has appointed a repre­sentative to make aaeenaary purchas­ing and transportation arrangement*with the U.8_A. Since the beginningof the 1943-44 crop year (August 1,1943), the United States purchased from Canada 144 million bushels of wheat, 62 million of oats, nearly 28 million bushels of barley, nearly 9 million bushels of rye and more than 10 million bushels of flaxseed. Trade Minister McKinnon estimates that the Uninted States will import a total of 170 million bushels of Can­ adian wheat in the calendar year T E A before being accepted into the ser­ vices . Where two or three left an identical job, the first to leave is en­ titled to reinstatement. If a returned person is physically unable to carry out his former duties, the onus Is on the employer to place him at any work he can <kb . Ex-members have three months if discharged in Can­ ada—four, if discharged overseas— to apply for reinstatement. The Act does not apply to Dominion or Pro­ vincial government employees, as they have regulations of their own. With literally thousands of Can­ adian women making over their own clothes or cutting them down for their children. the — Branch of Wartime Prices and Trade Board has found that many women are on the lookout for used sewing machine*. To protect buyer* of used goods, the Board has set a ceiling for certain second hand articles. The pricce aet for used sewing machines must not be more than 80% of the current price of a new machine of the same or similar type sold in that locality; or not more than a used machine cost during the basic period September 15 to October 11. To pay no more than ceiling price* and to conserve material—these are major contributions women can make to the war effort. Farming in Canada is really big business. Total cash income from the sale of farm products in 1943 was $1,896.6 millions, against 765.8 millions in 1940, an increase of two per cent. While the increase in the index of farm prices from 1940 to the spring at 1944 was only 55.4%, the increase in the total cash income in the four year was 82%, this being accounted for by the heavy increase in volume of farm products put on the market The increase in volume of produce sold was in much greater proportion to the increase in prices for the products. In the same period, increase in farm wages per month, with board, averaged for all of Can­ ada, was 136%. This shows a jump from $26.02 in May, 1940, to $61.38 in May, 1944. than 120,990,090 tons of food, oil, ammunition, medical supplies, safely delivered. “So weak was eonvoy escort pro­ tection in the early stages *>t the Battle of the Atlantic that out-num­ bered Canadian-built corvette* cross­ ed the Atlantic armed literally with nothing but a single wooden gun. A good many of the more than 5,000 Navy League Sea Cadets who are in the Service* (most of them in our navies), served right through the Battle of the Atlantic. Some of them were on the first few corvette* armed with a single wooden gun and many of them were merchant seamen on the ‘‘gallant little tubs” of merchant ships which had no armament at all! The gallant fellows who have taken almost five year* of i( and the in­ spired youngster* who at 18 years and up man our fighting ship* today, are both needful of our practical help in the anxious hours when they close in for the kilt Woollen* to bring warmth and comfort, magazine* and games to relieve the tension of those anxious . t^oun should be sent in to the nearest , branch of the Navy League—Maga- i sines can also be sent to any B.A. Oil or Crown Dominion Oil Co., , station, too.

It is hoped consumers hcjp ea3e critical aitua- tion which threatens in every kind of farming from fruit picking to grain harvesting. Spending a vaca­ tion on a farm is not only profitable but a health-builder a* well, and be­ sides it is a contribution to the war effort. Placing officers are very care­ ful in the selection of farms for these youngsters. The provinces have supervised camps for fruit picker*. The national exchequer “take” keeps growing every year, as evi­ denced by figures showing that cus­ toms, excise and income tax revenue last month (June) was >226,716,652. This represents an increase of over $38 millions compared with the same period in 1943. Of the total, income tax accounted for $127,758,825. The hens of Canada are cackling mightily for Britain. It is astonishing to learn that the Special Products Board of the Dominion Department of Agriculture bought tor export to the British Ministry of Food, 3,700 carloads of eggs from January 1 to June 28 this year. That means about 2,400,000 cases or 72 million dozen. Last year for this period the pur­ chases were 1,700 carloads. Number of cases purchased from various provinces were as follows: B.C., 155,000; Alberta 363,000; Saskat­ chewan, 455,000; Manitoba, 273,000; Ontario 990,000; Quebec 143,000; New Brunswick 2,500, P.E.I., 18,000. They Sailed To War— Armed With a Wooden Gun Ceiling prices for the 1944 Can­ adian pack of canned vegetables will be about the same as last year according to the Prices Board. To encourage canning of a high quality product, there is a slight change in the ceiling on tomato juice. Conners' maximum prices are the same level in Quebec as in Ontario this year. Revealing figures in the .latest issue of Canada At War, issued by the Wartime Information Board, on how Canada’s navies, her ships and personnel survived the first few years of the War only go to make us feel mighty proud of our men of the aeasl It is pointed out that at one per­ iod of the War U-boats were actually sinking Allied merchant shipping on the north Atlantic convoy route at an average rate of 1,009,000 tons per month, but in spite of that men­ ace Canadian merchant ships, con­ voyed by Canadian fighting ships, were recently resplnsible for more Nowhere has there been such a marked benefit from the wartime price and distribution controls than to the country general store mer­ chant.
