Heath Stone, Thames street south, arrived home last week for a month’s furlough. Enlisting on November 18th, 1942, he trained at Victoria, B.C., and was later posted to the Corvette “Chilli­ wack.’’ This is his first furlough and he looks and feels fine after his ex­ periences on the high seas. S.A. Stone has made fourteen re­ turn trips over the Atlantic in the course of his“'^Pwu**fc_ and spent about seven months cruising near the British Isles. The “Chilliwack” has also passed the Azores, the coast of Spain and Gibraltar during his term of service. He states that he definitely likes the life on the sea, al th op gh he would not likfi to devote his entire lifetime to that vocation. In speak­ ing of the hospitality of the British Isles, he said that he was much more impressed by the hospitality of the Scotch people, than the Irish or English folk. He spoke very appreciatively of the work of the War Services especially the Beaver Club, where Canadians meet and fraternize in London. While at sea S.A. Stone saw some action against the enemy and in the early part of this year the “Chilliwack" sank a submarine. The work of the Corvette is very import­ ant and -takes the brunt of any act­ ion that might be aimed at a convoy. It was the “Chilliwack's" job “spot" subs and give chase necessary.

Following the trend of recent years, during which firms engaged on government war work have had less need for banking credit, commercial and other loans, show a decrease of 823,000,000 and now total $203,- 104.000. Loans to provincial and municipal governments, doubtless reflecting an improved financial con­ dition of these bodies, stand at $11,- 576,000, as compared with $17,544,- 000. Profits for the year which ended October 31, after deduction of taxes payable to the Dominion Govern­ ment, amounted to 13,194,300.19, a figure less by 4108,534, than in the previous year. The decrease in profits is, no doubt, » reflection of the generally lower interest return which is being received by banks up­ on loans and in investment account, as well as substantially higher oper­ ating costs combined with an in­ creased total of interest payable to depositors upon a substantially higher volume of deposits in the sav­ ings department The profit repre­ sents a return of 440% on the shareholders* equity which com­ pares with 4.30% a year ago and 4.31% in 1942. Dominion Govern­ ment Income and Excess Profits taxes to act in accordance therewith, the bank has estimated that approxim­ ately $2,200,000 of such transfers, must be added to income of that year for tax purposes. The footnote adds that as a result the bank will be called upon to pay additional taxes for the y$ar 1943 of a like amount under, the Income Tax and Excess Profits Tax Acts. It is fur­ ther stated that provision has been made from Contingent Reserve Fund for this tax liability, of which twen­ ty per cejt, or $440,000, will be re­ fundable under the provisions of the Excess Profits Tax Act. From the net profits of the year ended October 31 last of $3,194,- 300.19, there was distributed to shareholders in dividends $2,160,000 and a sum of $500,000 is written off bank premises, these amounts being the same as in the previous year. After these deductions is left a bal­ ance of $534,300.19, which, added to the previous balance in profit and loss account of $1,879,521.13, makes an amount to be carried forward in this account of $2,413,821.32.

Follow the instructions to insure the best results with their Tunes have changed though and it seems that the laundry job is piece work nowadays. Many wartime fab­ rics require separate suds and rin­ sing. Wonder how often you hear, "Mother, you didn't wash out my green dress.” However, it may be that Mary did not pul her dress out to be washed, so it’s wise to have a separate clothes bag for each person, or a clothes hamper. The first step in washing, after the clothes have been collected, is to sort them according to colour, kind material, and how dirty they are. You'll have done this many times of course, but do you sort theB on POTTER )NE CO. Rinsing however, is one of the most important steps in washing. You need plenty of water, and fre­ quent changes, to take out all the suds and soiled water from the clothes. Three rinsings are wonder­ ful if you can do it, because it’s the soap curd left in the clothes that helps to give them that tattle-tale grey. Otherwise two rinsings will do a good job. Then dunk the shirt collars and cuffs, children's dresses, aprons, curtains and the like in thin, starch. This mixture is made by mixing 1-2 cup of laundry starch with a cup of cold water, then pouring in two quarts of boiling water. Cook for five minutes and add one. quart of cold water. No matter how cold it is, we hang the clothes out carefully, so that it’ll be easy to take them down for sprinkling. Of course, if towels and sheets can be dried thoroughly, they can be folded and put away without ironing—it’s so much less work.

EPSOM SALTS SULPHUR OYSTER SHELL You can get drivers, lb. 5c lb. builder, and mineral*. from our ! A substantial increase in assets and total deposits, with profits fully maintained, was shown in the statement of the imperial Bank of Canada for the year ending October 31,- 1944, presented to shareholders at the annual meeting a. Toronto on Wednesday, November 22nd. Mr. R. S. Waldie, t'w president, said that the Bank continues to grow in size and important. aad that the statement as a whole gave grounds for satisfaction. The part played by the less than twelve million Canadian people to­ ward winning the war had won the admiration of free men everywhere, j said Mr. Waldie. The impetus of war had brought about a very high level of business activity during 1944, with an increase of 6.3 per cent in national income, a new high level of farm income,, and labor on whole fully employed, frequently at higher wage levels than hitherto. Our people had met the challenge of supplying the armed services with the equipment they required. Referring to the success of th? Seventh Victory Loan as the'greatest Canada’s histosy, Mr. Waldie pointed public borrowing transaction in out that in the last five and one half years our war expenditure had been >12.5 billion, and opr non-war ex­ penditure >3.3 pillion, about 59 per cent of the >15.8 billion, total hav­ ing been obtained in the form of tax and other revenue and the rest by borrowing. Tax levies, though a heavy burden, had been accepted as part of the sacrifice required by war, but the almost confiscatory business tax rates would need to be revised in the post-war years to fac­ ilitate expansion and a greater vol­ ume of employment, especially with reference to Canadian producers who will have to compete in the export field with nations of low living stand­ ards, and plans should >be made for this now. total Rev. R. B. Cumming of Salford, addressed the Y’S Men on Friday evening at their meeting held in the Coffee Shop. He spoke on the timely topic, “Our Debt to the New World,” which was an inspiration to all. Fit. Lt. William Roberts of Sal­ ford, who has recently returned from overseas , also addressed the gather­ ing and told of seme of his exper­ iences and described his -hougnts and emotions when on operations and off duty as well. Mr. Cumming stated that “There will be a new day, a new heaven and a new earth, when Christ will live within the hearts of men, in spite of all the racial prejudices and hatred which exist today.” “The new day is not the future, but is today, those that only wish for a heaven that will come on earth will come to an un­ timely end,” the speaker continued. “The future that God has in inind, demands that we do His will and not only wish and hope for it,” Mr. Cununing explained. “Life is never still, but is ever changing. Life is a growing organ­ ism, not a blueprint, and we can’t copy old isms in planning for the future,” the speaker stated. “Be as proficient as your skills and profess­ ion will let you; enjoy comfort and happiness and share these with oth­ ers around you.” “Make the community share \ in your Christian fellowship and pro­ vide growing boys and girls with a high, pure motive, to study, improve and master life, by showing them that there is something worth while to accomplish,” Mr. Cummings said. In this respect he felt that Y’s Men had a big job ahead of them. In discussing the racial problem, Mr. Cumming stated that “God’s purpose is that we understand each other and life is richer because we share it.” We owe it to our gener­ ation, that we realize our responsibil­ ity and with our prayers and influ­ ence work together to bring about this great day which is to come, when our enemies will be made our friends and our 'brother man will be made one with us.

The mayor advo­ cated a salary for the mayor that would be commensurate with his du­ ties. At the present time he receives about >125 per year, the same as council members. He is obliged to attend many more meetings than a councillor, approximately 200 per year, including Hospital Board, Board of'Health, Parks Board, Child­ ren’s Aid Society, County Home Committee, is chairman of the Local Ration Board and a member of the newly formed Rehabilitation Com­ mittee. Besides the above named there are many more calls on the mayor to attend functions and com­ mittees and as ne was not a candi­ date Mayor Daniel felt he was justi­ fied in making a plea for a highar salary for the Mayor. The sewerage question was sup­ ported by each of the council and the financial standing of each com­ mittee was stated to be good. C. A.

In this exposed position he was ser­ iously wounded by a sniper and par­ alyzed from the waist down. The patrol was subjected to intense fire. Although suffering severe pain, Lieut. Smith would not allow the men who came to his aid, to move him to cover. Seeing that some of his men were cut off by an enemy machine gun, he continued to direct his platoon’s fire until this gun was silenced.

A lovely bouquet of carnations centred the table on which the many useful and beautiful gifts were arranged, and after each had been opened and admired, Miss Stratakos in » very gracious manner, expressed her thanks to her friends for their kind remembrances and good wishes. Ths hostess? assisted by several friends, Misses Sally Dale, E. De­ laney,. Mrs. F. Canfield; Mrs. J. Lynch, Mrs. R. D. Fortner and Mrs. W.

Jolly Good Fellow.” The St. James’ Anglican Church 1 Parish Hall was taxed for space on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week to hear the Disking , Club present their second annual ; Minstrel Show. Every seat was occu­ pied on both evenings and many - stood throughout the performance. : The show which will be presented < again, this (Thursday) evening, has : some rapid and interesting dialogues, - snappy choruses and colorful cos- ■ tumes and drew rounds of applause. The orchestral accompaniment was ; exceptionally good and consisted of : Mrs.. A. W.

It is not a Communist Government, as some people on this side seem to think. I woukl say that it has defin­ ite socialistic tendencies. I think it goes so far as to intend State‘own­ ership of certain public enterprises and mines, but I do not think it in­ tends to go down as far as business or industry.

There were 360,000 railway trucks in 1939, now 31,000; and in 1939 there were 6000 locomotives,, now 1200 or much less because a lot of these were taken back into Germany where transportation prob­ lems are also acute.*’ in their retreat the Germans requisitioned everything on wheels: horse-drawn carts, motor cars, trucks, anything they could get.

Duncan, president and general manager of Massey-Harris Company, Ltd., brings back from a tour of France the impression that that country will emerge from its harrowing experiences - during the war and even harder times in the next six months much stronger than its outside friends could have had reason to hope in the earlier years of the struggle. Mr. Duncan went to France in his capacity as chairman of the Fann Machinery subcommittee of the Com­ bined Production Resources Board of Canada and the United States. In all the districts which he visited and as a result of the best information he could get about other districts, he be­ lieves agriculture to be in a fairly prosperous condition. It had been thought that difficulties in the way of getting artificial fertilizers, of which France has always been a great consumer, would bring down output but does not seem to have done so.. “The French farmers have very good crops during the and have sold most of their stir In France.

I hoped the closet would do until the beat was off, butthey left me to shift for myself.Shaving under these circumstanceshad become too much of an ordeal.At first I was for throwing the kitinto the Potomac like Excaliburand going off on the magical barge with Singing Sam the BarbasolMan. The choice ultimately fellbetween a guaranteed depilatoryor the new electric razor with fourblades that made twenty-five hun­dred contacts with the beard persecond. I settled for the latter.It went in the gear room with thevacuum cleaner, and there wereno questions asked. Following the midday meal, themail was parceled out in the bunkroom. The Divine Plan provided,according to some, a particulargirl for every male, and a study ofthe post proved the scheme wasmaking headway. Every man wasequipped with a number-one wom­an who wrote to him on an averageof every other day. He might hearoccasionally from any number ofsatellites, but these were held of no account because in their turn theyeach were harnessed to an oppositefor whom they regularly filledreams of pink paper.Sometimes, as with "Sheep" Mor­gan, this routine was carried tobeautiful extremes. "Sheep” playedAbelard to a pretty thing who putout at the rate of two letters a day.She printed her name and address,"Miss Pat Clarendon, 205 Holly­hock Avenue, River Valley, Va.,” at the top of each effort, whichlooked suspiciously like a large- scale advertising scheme to theskeptics. They argued that Mor­gan, the cavalier, unless he had amind like a sieve, must have knownthe whereabouts of his lovely. Inthe end, however, a correspond­ence that was estimated In tonnageproved her fidelity, and the inevi­table name in the left-hand cornerwas taken to be one of those unac­countable "little things” that mad*him love her so.Mis* Clare-.don's regular expres­ sions of passion were scented witha gas to at screamed, not whispered,“A woman is passing by,” and ifthe manufacturers gave this a nameit might have been "L’Audace.”The letters themselves were neverbrief.' simple notes recapturing illu­sory sensations born of the heart’syearning. Her billets-doux cameunder the heading of freight Theywere essays, wrist-thick, that de­scribed in studied detail the con­ dition of a soul that suffered ex­quisitely twenty-four hours a day."Sheep's" effect was cyclonic. Thesweet sickness consumed her likea Nessus shirt He had reduced thepoor girl. If the length and fre­quency ot her letters were any in­dication, to round-the-clock record­ings of her love-drugged being.“Sheep, my dearest,” she Invari­ably opened, lending a rocking-chair melancholy to the flood of tender introspection that followed.“This morning before breakfast I feel electrlc-you-currents runningthrough me.”By high noon there was usually a violent turn for the worse. “Th*thunder that Is my own Sheep pealswithin me," she wrote as all hellbroke loose.The afternoon journal, which car­ried well into the night, describedpost-matin developments. In theevening she knew comparativepeace as he came to her “in anApril way," but if the moon, in anystage of its cyclical development, showed in the sky, her prose dis­solved into a baleful wail.Sheep read these volumes as sol­emnly as if they were copies of th*Volstead Act Then, convinced thatbe still possessed the same oldwham, he prepared to composesome himself. Unlike his beloved,Sheep did not burn continuously,but by staring at her picture for varied periods of time, he couldBare up at will. Fired by this Yogi­like exercise, he was able to matchher stormy recitals. As our train­ing progressed, 1 thought he wasforced to wait longer and longertor inspiration. I often wonderedif he would not be turned into stonebefore her image while .he perishedfrom malnutrition, and they both lived on, a lovely legend in the AirCorps. However, he married hersecretly one week-end, and it isprobably much prettier that way The six weary weeks of prel- i-inary ground school finally pr' I, and one morning before daybreak -we were herded onto a requisitioned bus and driven to the flying field. The overland route passed rightthrough the heart of Anacoatia. alittle suburb of the city, woundaround the Maryland countr.- side,and ended up at a dismal [Jot ofland known as “Hyde Field " I tooka seat right behind the d;her. anenlisted man who was syui ed onto madder and madder ih nit bywild cries of exhortation from thecargo. “C'mon, Fearless," they holleredat the helmsman, whose drivinghad become legend. "You can getsixty- out of her, boy.”“Pass him. Fearless, he’s hold­ing up the war effort."Fearless was a sensitive but dynamic Individual who felt the passage of time as keenly as if itwere hot lead running down hisback. Taking advantage of tetra­ethyl gasoline, six teen-cylinder mo­tors, and' capitalizing in generalon the age's advances, he stroveto eaten up with the Grim Reaper.A suspicion that he was losingmade him redouble his efforts. Hetore through intersections, paid noheed to stop signs, and careeneddown the highway as if he had a rendezvous with Death. I wasn'tprepared for this sort ot thing sosoon after breakfast, and clawedat the seat cover as the bus roareddown a steep grade. Fearless, re­alizing he was giving one of his four-star performances, turned back tome."Some ride, eh. Mack?” he saiddelightedly, using the Navy's in­formal "thou.”"Some ride, Jack,” I agreed through clenched teeth. "I really make her dance, don’tI, Mack”—he added another burstof throttle.“You really make her dance.Jack.”"Jeez,” muttered Tim Carpen­ter, as he was wont during periodsof great strain. We rushed on ■ sharp comer.- There was a screeching of brakes,an uncertain moment on two wheels,then a triumphant racing turn IntoHyde Field, and two blasts on thehorn to announce us.Fearless looked at his watch."Forty seconds off my record,”he swore.

Under the impetus of war a very high general level of business activity has been main­tained during 1944. National in­come is officially estimated at about9\i billion dollars, an increase ol6.3 percent over 1943. While em­ ployment in certain lines of indus­try has declined there is still saidto be an overall shortage of indus­trial labour. The farmer has accomplishedwonders in providing for the home market as well as in meeting tftcvery heavy demands of Britaff). This will be one of the banner yearsfrom the standpoint of yield. Thewheat crop, placed at about 450million bushels, was the third largest produced during the five years of war,while an ample harvest of coarsegrains promises well for continuedlarge production of meats and dairyproducts. A new high level of farm income has resulted from these bountifulharvests, and in western Canadathe people appear to be better offthan at any time during the lasttwo decades. It is gratifying to note that this new prosperity has re­sulted in a large decrease in mortgageand farm indeotedness generally. Labour has on the whole been fully employed and frequently at higher wage levels than those previ­ously prevailing. Brilliant offensives of the alliedforces on many battle fronts dur­ing the present year have again directed attention to the enormousdemand for munitions and supplieswhich have made such attacks pos­sible. Our people have felt their responsibility and met the challengeof supplying the armed serviceswith the equipment they required. One result of the high level ofbusiness activity has been that manymunicipalities find themselves in a better position financially than theyhave enjoyed for many years. Notonly have current municipal taxesbeen well paid but arrears of taxeshave been substantially reduced and in many instances bonded indebted­ness has been reduced c4 refunded at lower rates of interest. S The Dominion Govern*ready made a start on aof social security with thfcthat there is more to fol this is in line with whri done in other enlightenflthe fact cannot be ign<J demands a continuancsitaxation.The Canadian public I ently not yet realized Ilarger the post-war expelthe Dominion Governmej over pre-war levels. Prtpccts are that our post-*of taxation wilt be a healit does not appear that’ be much immediate relief hostilities cease. As our wlof taxation is complex andand its administrationvery costly it seems to me that the government should now refer the wholesubject to a representative group ofexperts for advice and recommenda­tions. SUCCESS OF CONTROLS Our after-the-war position will be influenced by the polices which Canadahas adopted during the war. Nocountry has dealt more successMlywith the control of prices; no countryof our size has ever achieved the level of industrial .output which has flowed increasingly from our factories. Inaddition, consumer rationing on alarge scale has been successfullyapplied -and a workable system of priorities in the use of raw materials evolved. All of these developmentsshould be studied closely and continu­ously as part of the task of convertingthe Canadian economy from war to peace. No controls should be re­tained longer than absolutely necessary. But, on the oth# hand, we mustavoid at all costs a period of in­flation like that which developedafter the last war. Therefore, we will have to retain such controls asmay be necessary to prevent sucha catastrophe. FREE ENTERPRISE One of the principles of recon­ struction should be that all activi­ties of the government to utilizeour resources of equipment andman-power should be directed- onlyto the fields of endeavor where pri­vate enterprise cannot function with equal benefit to the general welfare.People cannot long retain theirfreedom in competition with theirown government. Our present system of free enter­prise may have the faults which areinseparable from any organism created by human beings but m spite of its faults it has given Canada its presenthigh standard of living and providedthe industrial potential which baaproved so effective in support of ourwar effort. POST-WAR PROBLEMS The next twelve mouths will bedifficult ones for this country. TheUnited Nations have to bring the lent has al-‘ programme| intimationlow. While 1 has been■ countrieskd that it| of high] war against Germany to a aoccesriol conclusion and then throw «uch oftheir strength a* may be neededI against Japan. While we are takingIpur full part in the Pacific area oit<ir war we must also make and carry out plan* for the orderly de-‘ mobilization of such of our ArmedForces and of our munition \workeraaa can be spared. But if Canada will be confrontedwith difficulties these need not be approached in a spirit of pessimism.; The people of this country have achieved a world reputation for theo.urage, common sense, and en-. durance with which they meet their1 problems. There is no reason to be­lieve that once our problems are made clear to the people of Canadathey will fail to nnd solutions for■ them. In order to appreciate thcrcharacterand magnitude of the problems that J are likely to confront u» in the post-' war era it is necessary that we makeas objective an approach to thesubject as possible. It is certain; that we shall neither properly appreci-• ate the problems nor find solution*1 for them if we allow ourselves to be ' carried away by visions of a post warUtopia. Our war effort has greatly: increased our industrial potential; ourI industries have acquired new skills; our i people have enjoyed a higher level ofi .ncome than ever before. But in the: face of these advances it must neverbe forgotten that wars are destrac-• tive and that wars impoverish. Un-: fortunately, there are many people who have come to believe that aftgpi the war we shall enter intot world where war-born inventiontnTill. relieve them of the ne ■-- -hard work.

During this war, such efforts were greatly curtailed and many T^pde Commis­ sioners were forced to return home, giving up this work to accept tem­ porary assignments in other .depart­ ments or divisions of governmental work. However, the situation has been changing rapidly lately and pre­ parations are being made for a strong resumption of such efforts, with one report stating that one or more Trade Commissioners may be appointed before long to take up such duties in recently countries. his CHAPLAIN SERVICE AND OLAVON liberated BEING LONDON LORD MAYOR The thief took my wallet, gold it has returned home [patient in the Child- 1 Hospital, London, 'Cade is spending theto, taking in the Ice "But I thought you always carried • revolver.” "I do—'tut he didn't take that" SURPLUS MATERIALS RELEASED [irman and Mr. E.rietsville, attendedleeting in Welling- Church on Wed- Wartime J.

Caryle Husser will be the guest speaker. — By Jim Greenblat — Farmers of Canada are once again advised by the administration of farm machinery, no( to dispose of old tractors or other rationing units unless they have a permit to buy new machinery, because the present system of rationing has to be con­ tinued until supplies of equipment are more nearly in line with con­ sumer demands. Parts to keep pres­ ent equipment in shape are not rationed—there are plenty of them available. The supply of farm machinery for 1945 will be equal in tonnage to approximately 102% of the 1940 supply, but it will not be nearly enough for the apparent supply. The policy has been to take off the rationed list any equipment as the supply situation warrents, and at present there are 35 lines un­ rationed. g The Department of Labour has issued a report which shows that the general index number for wage rates in the 13 chief lines of indus­ trial employment in Canada rose to 139.5 "lor the year 1943, compared to 105.7 in 1939. The figure of 100 pointe representa the average wage level for the period 1935 to 1939. The index numbers relate only to wage rates, including cost of living being paid for normal working hours; and overtime rates and actual total earnings of employees were not taken into consideration ‘when the figures were compiled. Here’s a word from the consumer branch for milady. People who like to give stockings as gifts (not the kind that are hung on the mantle), should find more in the shops this year—not Nylon, of course, but larger quantities of rayon hose from acetate. They are not of viscose yarns, for synthetic tires have first claim on the viscose. Stockings made from acetate are just as serviceable, they say, as those made from viscose yarns, provided they receive the same care. Washing after every wearing and drying away from direct heat for at least 36 hours are two “musts” in making rayon stockings last. National Defence H.Q. at Ottawa advises that standard text telegrams (Expeditionary Force messages) be­ tween Canada and war theatres and vice versa will be discontinued be­ tween December 5 and 25 inclusive because of the overloading of tele­ graph circuits and consequent delay in messages. Instead, during the pre­ Christmas period Canadians in war theatres outside the United Kingdom will get five blue Aid Letter forms, free of postage, to send to friends and relatives at home at the rate of one a week; and wherever available, Pictured above is Wing cmar. 3.

Receiving a larger volume of Canadian commodities were the United Kingdom, United States, the U.S.S.R., British India and Italy. .With the Troops (Continued from page 1) of Boy Scouts, Wolf Cubs and Guides—they just tio not have them here.”• • • Fit Lieut. J. C. Shuttleworth, D.F.C. of the RXLA.F., returned to his home from overseas on Saturday evening. He arrived in Woodstock and subsequently went to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Shuttleworth, West Oxford. He first went overseas in July, 1941, having enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in Septem­ ber, 1939. He waa reported missing Nov. 22, 1942, after his plane had been forced down in France. Later news stated he was interned in Spain and then he found his way to Gib­ raltar from where he proceeded to England, and reached home in May, 1943. Returning overseas he has completed his second tour of oper­ ational flights, mostly on secret mis-] sions, for which he now wears opera­ tional wings and bar. Failure to comply with National Selective Service civilian regulations brought prosecutions in October which exceeded those of the month before, states a report issued in Ottawa by the director. There were 122 convicted as against 94 in Sep­ tember. Seven employers who en­ gaged workers without permits were convicted, and of the 78 employees the majority were for “quitting* employment without permission or not taking high priority work when referred by a Selective Service offi­ cer. Convicted also were 37 con­ scientious objectors. At November 1, there were still 342 cases pending 133 of them against objectors. Sergt. Stanley W. Dunn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Dunn, North Oxford, returned home Sunday after 3’zs years overseas with the R.C.A.F. He enlisted in London in December 1940 and has followed his vocation in radio work in the service. He has been engaged entirely in England. A former pupil of Dunn’s School, North Oxford and Ingersoll Colleg­ iate Institute, he was married over­ seas and he expects his wife and two children to arrive here in two or three weeks. PHONE 115 MAIL ORDERS FILLED | Here’s a thought for Canada’s place in the post-war market picture. The Canadian Federation of Agri­ culture which has its head ol'Bces in Ottawa gives the latest facts re­ garding the wartime progress of British agriculture. Wheat acreage in England and Wales is 82 % higher than in 1930. The area in potatoes has more than doubled, and there is an increase of 63% in the area of horticultural crops. Total arable acreage is 63% above the pre-war level. John—“Why do your people object to me os your fiance?" Joan—“Well you see there are five in our family, and your car is .only a two-seater.” Reporting to the Dominion Bur­ eau of Statistics, 14,837 industrial stablishments showed employment of 1,882,790 men and women at the beginning of September. Manufac­ turing establishments at that time shouted a little heightened activity with a gain of 6,249 employees. This increase is the smallest at the begin­ ning of September in any year since 1936. There was a further reduction in the production of durable manu­ factured goods, mostly . Iron and steel products. Expansion was above average and showed important gains in the vegetable food preserving in­ dustry, it is noted.

PHONE 609 A survey of the world wheat situ­ ation issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics indicates that as a result of the prospects of short wheat sup­ plies in Australia, Canada may be called on to make shipments to. In­ dia and the Middle East,* which usu­ ally get their grain from Australia. With an estimate early in October of only 50,000,000 bushels, Australia has the smallest crop since 1919. Stocks have been disappearing thero- because of the large demands by military establishments^ Argentina will not have a big crop, that is cer­ tain, and will probably only cover domestic -requirements, which are about 110,000,000 bushels. Its pres­ ent carry-over, about 177,000,000 bushels, will cover probable 1945 exports. No definite information is apparently yet available on needs for liberated Europe, but these will be heavy; unofficial guess is 10,000,000 bushels for.Italy, which is reported to have harvested a wheat crop of 245,000,000 'bushels with . about 120,000,000 in the liberated part. France’s food situation is said to be better than other countries, but Can­ adian wheat is moving in by way of Lisbon. Greece, of courae, will need outside help in abundance. The Uni­ ted Kingdom reports ■ wheat crop of '118,000,000 bushels. The 1939 crop was only 41,800,000 bushels.
