Mead­ ows, shows that 61 deer were shot in Blenheim and 41 in Blandford. Four days were used by 200 hunts­ men who obtained'licenses, and with 102 bagged the hunt was considered successful. Of the number shot be­ tween seventy and 80 per cent were bucks. During the first two days, rair and fog enveloped the bush although some hunters carried on, the weathei sharply curtailed the season for oth­ ers. During the last two days snow fell and although some tracking was done, the conditions were not im­ proved very much.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27th, 1945 A Necessary Move There is inherent in most individuals a desire to take a chance, to gamble, in some form or other. That desire and the wish to get something for nothing, or for very little, has made the life of the sweepstake promoter bn easy one. But the gambling instinct, when let run without curb, can do any community a great deal of harm. During the war, bingo games, raffles for homes, cars, tires and dozens of other hard-to-get articles have grown greatly. Most lotteries have served a useful purpose in^that the funds realized were for worthy causes, and the administration costs of the lotteries have been very low. But, as Attorney-General Blackwell pointed out in his announcement, “illegal lotteries, raffles and bingos (other than the occasional bingos for relig­ ious or charitable purposes), have reached such proportions that it has become-necessary for the department to intervene in the enforcement of the provisions of the Criminal Code relating to these matters.”There is a real danger, too, as has been seen in years before the war, that the professional pro­ moter will take over the running of the lottery. Mr. Blackwell, who by virtue of his position, should know these things, makes this statement which points to the danger of .racketeering in lotteries; “With the ending of the war it has now become apparent that, unless checked, the conduct of lot­ teries, raffles and bingos will fall again into the hands of the professinoal promoter, and will again degenerate into a racket. Funds so raised from the public will line the pockets of the promoter, • with relatively small benefits to the organization which allows its name to be used for such a scheme.” The Attorney-General’s decision to end illegal lotteries by the enforcement of the Criminal Code fchould receive the support of all those who, in giving to charitable causes, have no wish to line the pockets of the shady * promoter.—Toronto Globe and Mail. Abolish Tax Exemptions Any attempt to give Canadians an equitable tax system will have to face up to the problem of tax-ejeempt industries, editorialises The Financial Post. "The present situation is patently unjust wherever taxpaying industry must compete with a nontaxpaying organization. Putting *all industry on a taxpaying basis would work no hardship on anyone and'it would make possible important rationalization in the present tax structure. .The Post quotes the brief of the Income Tax­ payers’ Association before the current tax investi­ gation in the Senate. The brief estimated that tax-exempt business (c.g. Ontario Hydro and sim­ ilar provincial and municipal utilities, wheat pools, liquor control boards, CNR, TCA, etc.), would be paying betwen $100 and $125 millions a year if taxed like other business. (Last year total cor­ poration and EPT tax revenue was $742 millions including refundable.) Adds the Post: “The brief's recommendations with respect to income tax administration will get loud applause among thousands of Canadian bus inessmen who have been increasing vocal about the problems and perils of the existing system. “Removing or sharply contracting the present imnjense discretionary powers of tax officialdom would be good for everybody including officialdom, it would remove one of the most frequent causes of complaint and most serious openings for grave abuse.” The Navy League of Canada “To the men, women and children of the smaller towns and villages no less than to those living in the larger centres we owe a debt of grati­ tude for their support of the Navy League’s activi-' ties for sailors, merchant seamen and Royal Can­ adian Sea Cadets,” stated Victor Ramsay, Manag­ ing Secretary, Navy League' of Canada, (Ontario Division), in his yearly review, issued last week. “To the citizens of the smaller centres who have made their contributions so that our Sea Cadet work may continue and expand and to the school children for giving to school collections for our work we tender'thanks. “And a special word of praise is due to the thousands of women in Women’s Institutes, chap­ ters of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Em­ pire, women’s fraternal organizations, war plants, etc., who through almost six years have worked in their spare time day after day to make comforts or collect magazints for thousands of our own and Allied sailors. z“Now that our chief post-war activity is our youth-training program as* exemplified in the Navy League! Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Move­ ment we are hoping -that these same ' ladies will ■turn their efforts into this channel and interest ■themselves in Canadian teen-age boys; they .are ‘of vital importance to the Canada of tomorrow.” THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE.

CANADA YEAR BOOKREADY FOR PUBLICThe 1345 edition of the CanadaYear Book, published by authoriza­ tion of the Hon* James A. MacKin­ non, M.P., Minister of Trade anc Commerce, is announced by the Do­ minion Bureau ot Statistics. The present edition continues the policy of giving such space as can be spared to feature articles of special importance. Such articles give additional meaning and sub­ stance to the purely statistical and analytical material that constitutes the basic chapter material. In a very real sense, as a perusal of the lists of Special Articles in this and for­ mer editions (pp. viii to xii), wil' show, they give to the Year Book Scries an encyclopaedic value apart from its function as a statistical abstract. Because of public interest in the articles published in former editions of the Canada Year Book, the policy of reprinting such articles as are of continuing value has been approved and in future a number of these will be made available each year. Infor- mation regarding those that can be obtained will hereafter be indicated in the list appearing at the opening pages of each future edition of the Year Book. In addition to the Special Articles, the regular chapter material has un­ dergone thorough going revision tc reflect latest development. This publication will be supplied to the public by the King’s Printer, Ottawa, at the price of $2.00 pei copy. By a special concession, teach­ ers, university students and minis­ ters of religion may obtain paper­ bound copies at $1.00 each, but the number that has been set aside fox this purpose is restricted and early application for copies by those en­ titled to purchase them is desir­ able. Applications for these paper­ bound copies should be addressed to The Dominion Statistician, Dominioi? Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, and remittance should be made by money order, postal note or accepted cheque payable to the Receiver General of Canada.

BAKERY inger sol l "Let Zurbrigg's Do Your Baking' ROYAL BANK ASSETS TOTAL $2,000,000,000 New records in the field of Can­ adian banking are revealed in the Annual Statement of The Royal Bank of Canada, for the year endco November 3D, 1945. Total assets which increased during the year by over $217,000,000 have reached a total of $2,007,546,978 which is not only a new record for the. bank, but is the first time the assets of any Canadian bank have reached the two billion dollar figure.

Deposits by the public are also at the new high level of $1,595,389,- 294, an increase of over $195,000,- 000. That,the scale of private sav­ ings, steadily on the increase through the war years, has been well main­ tained is reflected by public deposit! bearing interest totalling $711,591,- 119.

MAPLE PRODUCTS 1945 In 1945 the output’of maple pro­ ducts was one of the poorest on record. In terms of gallons it was only 1,530,000 compared with the five-year average 1940-44 of 2. 802,692 gallons. Adverse weather conditions were the principal cause of the poor outturn. Given reason­ able weather at the time for tapping the maple trees in 1946, the pro­ duction should be in the neighbor­ hood of 2,750,000 gallons. MRS.

If however, meat rationing is discontinued, then there may be surplus of poultry for export. OUTPUT OF EGGS HIGHEST ON RECORD Production of eggs in 1945 in Canada estimated at 395 million dozen was an all time record. It was 34 million dozen above 1944. In 1946 it is estimated the output of eggs will be about 17 million dozen less than in 1945. There is not likely to be any prob­ lem in connection with the marketingof eggs or poultry. Eggs available for export in 1946, after allowing for a continued heavy domestic de­ mand, due to meat rationing are es­ timated at 88 million dozen, wheih will be sufficient to fill the contract with the British Ministry of Food. Shipment of fresh eggs to Britain will be made as follows: 900,000 cases during this winter and next spring, and 850,000 cases next aut­ umn. During 1946 exports of dried egg powder will total 11,200,000 pounds, the equivalent of about 33,- 600,000 dozen shell eggs. Since 1940 a total of 267 million dozen eggs have been shipped to Britain from Canada. Concerning poultry it had been es­ timated that under normal condi­ tions between 20 and 25 million pounds of poultry meat will be available for export during 1946 but the introduction of meat ration- ing has resulted in such a heavy do­ mestic demand for poultry meat that exports will be affected. As to the outlook in 1946 there is uncertainty.

"Rusty." was left In charge•f the ranch. Soon black market oper­ators got busy and slaughtered somaof her cattle. She called Ladue Decker,a neighboring rancher, to come over,but he laughed at the Idea of gangstersand proposed to her. Rusty turned himDown. She has quite an admirationfor Dr. Herb Westmore, a veterinarianHying on a neighboring ranch, but thereare many things about him that she doesnot understand. She la greatly con­cerned when the feeders refuse to takethe yearlings off her hands, and doesnot know where to pasture them. Shewires her brother, Ralph, asking wherea map of Low Valley can be found, andbe air malls precise Instructions, sug­gesting that she keep her plans secret.Dr. Westmore drives Rusty to his hos­pital and Miss Westmore makes a star­tling revelation to Rusty. I ! )I T rI, “No girl with a face like minecould expect romance. I knew therewas healing in my hands, so Itook nurse’s training, then went on private duty. One day, I was calledto take the case of a man namedByington. The woman at the reg­istry kidded a little, said the manhad money and that I might aswell work for a bonus.“I did. My bonus was marriage.“Not until afterward did I learnwhere my husband's money camefrom. He was a small-time gambler who’d come into a string of racehorses. We traveled with them' Ilearned how some races are won.I had the opportunity of using mynurse’s training on those poor, mistreated beauties. I haunted vet­erinarian’s offices. I read and stud­ied. I learned all I could so that •I could make life easier for m yf husband’s meal tickets."I wasn't sorry when he lost them}vernight at a gaming table."He lost me, too. My one reason>r remaining with him — to help his horses—was gone. .He said I'dleft because he was broke, and hewanted me to go back to nursingto provide him with a stake. Be­cause he was down and out, I fool­ ishly did return to him for a while,and we lived on what I made as anurse."Then. I learned that he'd beendrawn into something worsrf than a gambling ring This gang neededhis 'gentlemanly' appearance, his•front’ And he needed me to keepup that front. But I was through."I left him again and kept my whereabouts hidden. I graduallyearned enough money to take vet­erinary training. It took me awhile, but I made the grade. Andthen, he found me out. I’d set up shon ur«der the only name I coulduse legally. I had to get out, closeshop, hide, because he wanted hiscook back. “I learned that Herb Westmore, with whom I’d gone through theveterinary school, needed an as-istant. He was about to take overhere, and I thought that, if he’dtake me with him to this spot, thou­ sands of miles from the city wheremy husband was, I could knowsome peace. I need not even usemy own name if I was to be onlyan assistant. Herb needed a house­ keeper as well as an assistant. Aswe had the same t] background—we’d both grown up on cattleranches—we decided that I could pose as his sister, have the pro­tection of his name. “We'd been here a few monthswhen, while out shopping, I lookedthrough a grocery store windowand saw my husband pass. Herb checked and found that he was liv­ing at the hotel here. He was inand out of town—and his reputationwas not savory."Rusty’s mind went flashing backto the night of the storm, to “thelesson” Herb had tried to teachher. Had it been the knowledge ofthis Byington's presence In thecity that had prompted the warn­ing? And was this -the reason for thewarning he'd given Adelaide whenDecker s men had come to thedoor?"I refuse to run away again," Adelaide was concluding. "I’m ofuse here. Well, that's all. Betterget seme sleep."“You'd better," Rusty said soft­ly. "And, Adelaide, how about giv­ ing yourself a sedative this time?""1 may. That Caesarian rathergot me down. If I oversleep, callme. Promise?""I promise." Rusty kept her promise. The nextmorning, she called Adelaide—butnot until breakfast was prepared,one portion on a tray to be carriedto the bedside. "Here, here,” protested Ade­laide. "Just who Is the hostess andwho is the guest?"Rusty pushed her back againstpiled-up pillows. For a few mo­ ments, a rigid back held the wom­an upright. Then she relaxed andsighed."This is the first breakfast I’veever had in bed. And I’m going toenjoy it! Where’s the morning pa­per?" “Propped up before Doctor West­snore, but I’ll change that." Rusty whisked into the diningroom and snatched the newspaper■way from his startled gaze. After taking it to Adelaide, she whiskedback again. “Eggs up or over?" she asked.’ “Whv— why—” he stammered.“Is Sis ill?”“Not yet. I’m just breaking herinto form. There isn’t anythingthat we can’t do this morning, isthere?"“We? No, not a thing thus far."“Then let’s find a good book forher and keep her in bed. Herb’ —Rusty ventured the name timidly—"she’s been sold short on love.Let's give her a little extra dose."’ Rusty . . . Oh, darn that bell!”He’ broke olT, as a clang soundedfrom the courtyard. Rusty followed him out. then re­turned to report to Adelaide.“Simple fracture. Man backedout of his driveway and didn’t seethe little pooch. He’s suffering much worse than the dog.”“I had a six foot, two hundredpounder faint on me," confessedAdelaide. "Seems the bigger theyarc, the harder they fall for their pets. My”—she stretched luxuri­ously — *Tvc a notion just to letthings ride today. But the Caesar­ian—”“She’s doing all right," Rustyhastened to report. "Now give me your shopping list and see what Ican do to prove my worth in akitchen." ■Rusty hadpno time for thoughttbawmomirig. A swift cleaning of the Kitchen. Then she was at thekennels, parceling out food to thehungry. She put fresh papers inthe hospital cages, fresh sand,fresh water. She scanned the indi­ vidual diets and then coaxed theconvalescents into taking nourish­ment.Doctor Westmore was in and out,preoccupied now, impersonal, evenbrusque at times. Once he came in to stand by herand frown. •“You don't have to do this." heobjected. “I—well, I’ll bef free -ina moment." “I'm enjoying it." .,“Here—come into thcfofflce.

Why?Had l.e intended representing theDouble R? And .why were the cattlemenmeeting'?She leameu thnt evening. Doctor Westmore did not come in to din­ner.

Onkhe lip* of all w«*the threat of the black market — From —- HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA HEALTH WEEK IN FEBRUARY National headquarters of the Health League of Canada announces that the week of February 3 will be observed as “Health Week”—-an annual event designed to impress u]>on Canadians the importance of all matters pertaining to national community and personal health. "This is the first breakfast I’ve ever had in bed." operators, the black market rust­lers.The chairman called the meetingto order and sought to gather thegist of their grievances from themass of words which poured acrosshis desk.Rusty listened and then sat upas she saw Doctor Westmore go tothe platform. He unrolled a map ofthe surrounding country and placedit against the wall with thumbtacks. "These rustlers," he told the cat­tlemen, “must have a program, aplan. Let’s have a roll call. All ofthe representatives of ranches whohave suffered from these rustlersstand up. . . . Fine. Now let’s checkthe places and dates ahd see If wecan fathom their method."Each man gave the locality ofhis ranch and the date when Jt had been raided. The dales weremarked on the map with a coloredpencil, red for February, blue forMarch, yellow for April.Rusty was one of the first to re­port. But when they came toMarch. Decker did not rise.“Mr. Decker"—the sheriff lum­bered to his feet—"I believe youhad a little difficulty on the FourD in March."Decker jumped up a? though an­gered. “Yes, we did. but I have noevidence there were any rustlers responsible. Personally, I thinkthis is a lot of foolishness. If we dall stay at home and look after ourlines, we’d be better off.”Westmore turned from contem­plation of the map. He hesitateda moment, then spoke.“I’ve drawn lines according tothe dates the different rancheswere raided. You’ll nctice the?form a star. The raiders struck uphere, then down here, after whichthey swung back to this point.”"Gentlemen, you have heard thedoctor's analysis," said the chair­man. “Have any of you suggestionsas to how we should proceed?"'here followed a general discus­sion qf the situation. When themeeting broke up at midnight,* aboard of inquiry had been organ­ized, a clearing board set up. Alldata was to be relayed as soon aspossible to this board and all cattle­men would be notified immediatelyAnd all would be ready to sendmen to any ranch threatened.Decker appeared at Rusty’s el­bow as she was making her way out."Coming home with me?"“No, I'm not going home until 1learn where a subcutaneous injec­ tion should be given," she coun­tered.“1'11 send McDougal over to showyou that.” he scoffed."In his spare time? But I’m learning c’her things, importantthings, Deck—"He maneuvered her into a dark­ened corner beyond the entrance. “Rusty, don’t get your lines tan­gled, "If you do. remember"—nelooked out to where a street lightthrew a pool of blue light on thepavement — “I've pulled a few friends out of the arena. You’remore than a friend. Small Fry.”Rusty found Westmore'* car andclimbed into it to wait tor him.Presently he appeared, and climbed in beside her."Sorry to keep you waiting.” hesaid, “but I had to see a couple ofmen."“I liked your ouija board," shesaid. "My what? Oh.” he laughed,“you mean the chart? I supposethat did look a bit fantastic, butyou’ll notice the raiders did fol­low a pattern. According to the chart, they're due to strike at Mur­phy's next. We'll station menthere."The chart or its analysis waswrong, because the raiders did not strike at Murphy’s ranch next. In­stead. while that ranch was beingguarded by grim-lipped neighbors,they struck at an unprotected ranch two hundred miles away."Has it occurred to you," Ade­laide asked Rusty, “that someoneon the inside of the cattlemen's as-sedation may be helping these rustlers?"(TO BE CONTINUED) The League also announces its sponsorship of Canada’s third annual “National Social Hygiene Day" which will be observed during "Health Week"—February 6. This .'articular observance will mark the opening of another season's inten­ sive anti-VD campaign, coinciding with a similar observance in the United States. opertion of the Canadian Pharma­ ceutical Association.

O T T A W AWEEK BY WEEK— By Dean Wilson — Ernest Bertrand,"has stated in Ot­ tawa that wartime bonuses to rural mail carriers have been paid undei the authority of the War Measure! Act. where the carrier establishes the fact that operating costs have increased due to conditions which could not have been foreseen when he entered into his contract. With the end of the War Measures Act these wartime bonuses must cease but provisions will be made to invite public tenders in each case where the courier is not satisfied to con­ tinue at his original contract price. DESTRUCTION OR | CONSTRUCTION It has been emphasized in Ottawa in no uncertain language, that Can­ ada has been and is playing a most important role in the greatest drama of our time in what may turn out to be either the destruction of the so- called “new world order” after the war or the construction of such a new existence for the people of the world, with the development of the atomic energy being the basis for intense activities of the moment as Canada proceeds with other leading nations in efforts to harness this newly discovered power for the good of mankind rather than its annihila­ tion. Indeed, Canada has played an amazingly important role in thia cur­ rent drama and time alone will be able to disclose all the facts since it is said in Ottawa, this country alone has spent over. $25,0.00,000. in this direction. Another interest­ ing highlight indicated in Ottawa is that “the vileness of the Axis Powers proved their undoing” in the last war since their “racial” laws de prived them of the discovery of the atomic bombs. Dr. Liza Meitner, a Jewess, dis­ covered the secret of atomic fission while working in the Kaiser Wilhcm Institute in Berlin, Germany ant’ she was forced to get out of that country in 1939. She went to Den­ mark where she met Dr. Otte Frisch, also a Jew, who had been dis­ missed from Hamburg University with these two Jews, containing theii research in Copenhagen and subse­ quently transmitting their results tc associates in United States. Likewise in 1939 Professor Ejirico Fermi, an Italian physicist, was nvithir 2/10.000 of an inch of the discovery of the secret of atomic fission, using3/1000 of an inc^ tinfoil whereas if he had used f/1000 of an inch ir) thickness, he would have found the secret five years ahead of the scien­ tists of the United Nations. But the “racial” laws of Mussolini also for­ ced Professor Fermi to leave Italy and he went^to the United States where he continued to operate as one of the key men in the War De­ partment amongst the scientists, aiming to discover the atomic bomb or explosive. As one Senator recently put it so well in Ottawa, “it would be well to bear in mind them later on when we take up the problem of our. refu­ gees, and this is a most timely thought for all Canadians in this session of “peace on earth, good­ will toward men." GOVERNMENT IS ANXIOUS Considering the significance of the statement in this capital that “two out of every’ Ave persons rely upon export trade for opportunities ol employment” in this country; this being asserted lately by a Ministei of the King Cabinet, it should not be difficult to understand why the Gov­ ernment in Ottawa seems openly anxious about having even a tem­ porary agreement with Great Brit­ ain since it might be weeks oi months before trade talks could bt accomplished between Canada and the United Kingdom. So far it has been revealed in this capital that trade discussions would follow the loan negotiations between Canada and the United Kingdom. MORE SRRIOUS Since the employment situation -for veterans has been described at “more serious” in this country with official reports indicating that at least 23,000 in the latest estimate! have absolutely no definite plans it should be pointed out that in thia capital it is emphasized strongly that veterans are getting their full share of all Civil Service Commission jobs available in Canada. Indeed, from January 1 to October 31 of this year, a total of 7,711 ex-members of the Canadian Armed Forces hat’ been appointed to Government posts so thnt practically every opening in the public is given to a veteran wherever and whenever this is poss- ible. In the latest report in Ottawa, it is also revealed that pre-discharge interviews in October, 1945 of 97,- 436 veterans, more than 54.780 had definite places for employment ant 42,647 had to be provided for though about 50 per cent of these would be taken care of by voca­ tional and-university training plans. Moreover, 25,919 expected to be re­ instated in their old jobs, 3,752 planned to return to their own bus inesscs, 1,8.20 aimed to go back tc their farms, with 3,520 men and iI SPEED-UP TRANSPORTATION There is every possibility now that, the passage of war brides of Can­ adian troops abroad will’be brought to Canada shortly in ever increasing numbers. This has been indicated in Ottawa where it has been pointed out that the hospital ships Lady Nel­ son and Letitia would be used foi such purposes soon, with the Lady Rodney . probably engaging in such operations later. It is held that the Lady Rodney could carry about 200 io 300 dependents of this sort each month . while 'the Letitia could handle about 400. Of course, this would be free of charge for the sol­ diers, since every Canadian ser­ viceman’s dependent, such as a wife o rchild, regardless of nationality, it entitled to free passage from Can- ad*. LARGEST EMPLOYER OF LABOUR IN CANADA Official information "in this capi- tai has disclosed that to-day the Civil Service Commission, supervis­ ing a personnel now of no less than 143,000 or a little more, has created a situation whereby the Government of this country is the largest cm ployer of labour in Canada.
