life could bring about a better world in which to live and by which others could live in and enjoy life better if their conduct was improved inquiry in other towns shows a similar experience as in

interesting information and some pride for canadas accomplishments as the item describes how canadas wool industry was converted without any confusion to m wartime basis here are some extracts from the article efficient and complete orguiiution of the wool cloth and blanket mills in cansrli for production to meet military requirements and essential civilian needs is one of the outstanding succrfisrri in the dom inions war effort it is noteworthy because the re sults were obtained through full and free coopera tion between this industry and the government prior to 1930 the woollen industry in cauda supplied only 54 per cent of the cloth requirements of the home market provided by eleven and a half million canadians by 1942 in the face of shortages of skilled labor and heavy labor turnover the indus try increased its yardage by over 100 per cent cloth was produced not only for the canadian fighting services but for the navy and army of great britain some cloth was sent to russia and in the early days of tho war some technical munitions cloths were ship ped to the united states the article gives details of how the wool industry was organized to meet the war situation and the figures of increased production are indeed records of efficiency in 1938 it required 100 persons em ployed to produce 100 yards of cloth iii 1042 there were 155 persons employed to 207 yards of cloth and this comparison did not idclude cloth produced for blankets the tota1 yardage now being produced in canada for military and civilian use is approximate ly equal to the total yardage used for civilian purpos es in prewar years including both imported cloth and domestic production the canadian mills have de monstrated that they could supply practically the en tire postwar canadian market for cloth so that after the war there should be no necessity for can ada to import other than a negligible amount of cloth v editorial kotos more blood donors are needed if acton is to meet the
