Tyr Con OE wl Keep C ge ! Zu ; Experienced Leaders are anada's War Effort United! J SE VITAL for VICTORY In six months of war the Mackenzie King Administration has set an unprecedented record of getting things done without fuss and fury. Under its steady leadership, Canada has gone ahead on all fronts--war, economic and domestic. With. clear heads and with feet on the ground, this group of putpossi} men is making every ounce of Canada's weight felt in our fight or freedom. "What it has done has been done thoroughly: there has been no loose thinking; no half-measures; no waste of men, money or materials. Some of the Mackenzie King Administration Wartime ry Accomplishments It united Canada as never before -- Every province is heart and soul behind the Empire's war effort this time, thanks to the Administration's truly national policies. The First Division, completely A ipped, has been sent overseas to a Mothé® country prepared to receive it. The Second Division is recruited, equipped and ready to go over. The great Ei Air Training Sch - sponsored and mainly financed by Canada, has been launched ona planned and ordered basis. . Naval Defence for both East and West Coasts including "Air Force, Mine Sweepers and Convoying, has functioned efficiently since the outbreak of War, Of it, a Senior British Naval Authority has said: "No finer ' work is being done anywhere by the Royal Navy itself." Price Control of all commodities, including such vital necessities as wool and sugar, has been established, with prices pegged low for the poor man, The profiteer is out, and will be kept omt--in marked contrast to the free- for-all of the last war. _ Shipping Control and Forelgn Exchange Control are firmly established on sound lines and are functioning smoothly and effectively. A $200,000,000 War Loan was over-sub- scribed within two days of its launching, a record that proves public confidence. Its reasonable rate of 3V4% contrasts with 52% tax-free rate of the last war, Political and Private Patronage has been stamped out: merit is the sole basis for selection or promotion in our armed forces. Great Britain's war financing problems have been lessened through the co-operation of the Canadian Government. War Contracts totalling well over $100,000,000 have been placed, stimulating every branch of Canadian industry. Canadian employment has hit an all-time highwwing to these orders and to good in- ternal business conditions. Armament deliveries are approaching full- speed: aeroplanes, Bren guns, tanks, artillery accessories, ships -- all coming forward in impressive quantities, Large Plirchases of Canadian wheat, -- preventing a serious wheat glut -- have been arranged through a special mission sent to London by the Mackenzle King Administeation. 5,600,000 pounds of bacon wlll he shipped ; 0 Great Britain each week, as well as arge quantities of flour and fish, Huge shipments of steel and other mate- rials essential to the conduct of the war have been arranged for. Make Your Vote Support Canadian Unity Such a record siniply didn't just happen. It resulted from the efforts of a strong adminis- tration working on behalf of a country united in all iti parts as mever before. And this singleness of purpose--conspicuously absent in 1914--is due to the vision, understanding and drive of individual Canadian and Emplre- minded Statesmen who back the Empire's participation in the war with their eyes wide open and with- full determination to play their parts to_the full. : We appeal to the people of Canada for the support which is essential to carry on an complete a task, the groundwork Te which has been laid carefully, soundly, wisely . - . with foresight, determinati resol courage. On March 26th show your faith; vote for the Candidate supporting Mackenzie King and help make sure there can be no break. in Canada's steadfast stand in these critical times. FORWARD WITH "MACKENZIE KING The Nations] Liberal Federation of Canada, Ottaws, Ontario, is Flowers that Bloom in the. Catalogues oid By Louise Bush-Brown in the Christian Science Monitor When your great-granmother sat .down at her desk to pen her order for seeds, it was nota difficult task for. her to make selections. In few catalogues wf which were at hand there weré brief isi lists of the common garden flowers of er the day, a page or so of herbs and . savories, a small section devoted to F i tis vegetables, and perhaps the mention of a rose or two. And from these lists she prepared her modest order, Many ti. of her seeds for spring sowing were I": of her own saving, or had come to her . from some neighbor's garden, for there was always a pleasant exchange f seeds and slips and friendly advice among the garden-minded folk of the village, and only such things were or- dered from the seedsman as were un- "obtainable otherwise. Today, however, the preparation of _ 8 seed order is not such a simple task. Hardly have we entered upon the New ear before the seed catalogues arrive ~--catalogues of every size and de- © scription from every corner of the 4% globe, Some are the catalogues of ; fats who offer a few choice eties of but a single flower, for to- y. there are men and women who pte their lives to bringing to great- perfection some special flower, such the delphinium, the iris, or the rose. her catalogues are more, general in r scope, some being so diverse and sinclusive that they seem to offer > ws, One fom these myriad lists, ultitudinous names, the \ > . gardener of today is faced with the problem of making his selection--~a task very different from that which confronted our great-grandmothers! * * * oy On the front pages of these gay, new catalogues the debuntantes of the 1940 garden make their bows, and what gardener can resist the tempta- tion of lingdring over théir brightly colored portraits and of reading about the honors which have been bestowed upon them? A decade or so ago American gar- deners had little to guide them in the selection of these novelties. In Eng- land the newcomers in: the flower world have, for many years, been sub- jected to very carefully supervised tests in the trial gardens maintained at Wisley by the Royal Horticultural Saciety, and those which proved to be of outstanding excellence were given an award of merit. Thus was the gardening public protected from novel- ties of inferior worth, This did not hold true with American novelties, however, until the All-American Seed Trials were established several years ago. Y5 ¢ J Previous to that time many very in. ferior novelties were offered at ridicu- lously fancy prices to an eager and unsuspecting public, _ Growers and plant breeders from all over the world now send their new originations to be tested in the All American Seed Trials. During the past season, England, France, Den: k, Holland, Poland, Germany, rust-reslstant variety, and it Is un. sented. Eighty-four new flowers were officially entered last year, but so high group, being of value both as a border plant and as a cut flower. It is a topaz-rose in color with a suffusion of gold, and it comes almost 100 per cent true from seed: It is exceedingly vigorous and strong growing, produc- ing infect spike and-from 10 to 30 lateral gpikes. Golden Rod is anothe} new rust-resistant antirrhi- 'num_ of outstanding merit. The foliage is a deep, healthy green in color .and the golden yellow flowers are borne] on sturdy, erect stems. It has the ability to give an unusually good ac- count of itself through periods of pro- longed heat and drought, the color of the flowers remaining bright and un- faded. J ' The new Scabiosa, Heavenly Blue, will also be a/welcome addition to many a garden'this year. More dwarf in habit of growth that the large- flowering types, it reaches a height of more than 18 inches and bears a pro- soft azure blue shade. If blooms con- tinuously throughout the season. Welcome, too, will be the new race of spring-flowering sweet peas, noted for their vigorous habit of growth, their large flowers, and their ability to withstand summer heat. There are a few flowers more useful for midsummer and early autumn bloom than Salvia farinacea, and Royal Blue, a new variety which has much to commend it. One of the most delightful of all the new additions to the lists will be the Aquilegia Longissima Hybrids. These new columbines are exquisite beauty. Among them one will find all the love- ly -pastel shades, and many of the flowers have spurs at least four inches in length, Dr. Thomas Erlin Kaiser Dies (Oshawa Daily Times) . ; Oshawa came to a close at six o'clock this morning when Dr. T.
