This should have: a sfabilizing effect on the Canadian market, And that brings up the ques- tion whether it might not be good business, this year, to raise more chicks--not going "off the deep end", of course, but mak- ing sure you have enough good pullets coming on to fill your laying house. Of course, when you're rais- ing June-hatched chicks, it's more important than ever to get the kind that start fast, grow fast, develop fully fast, and lay carly, The Bray organization has put a great deal of time and thought into, producing chick with "that "growability" bred right into them. It will:pay you to keep that fact in mind, and make it a point to order BRAY chicks. OIf you raise turkeys, better ask us about Bray turkey poults.

The Minister of Transport to criticism of the department's work, which, he said, was engendered by a lack of understanding of the nature of supply operations. He tempered his statement with the remark that there were indications that this situa- tion would not continue. "One of our chief: difficulties has been to obtain the latest British de- signs for the mechanical equipment used by our troops", he said. "British industry has not been too willing to part with its designs, many of which represent: years of study and develop- ment by private manufacturing firms." A contributing factor to the ap- parent lethargy of Canadian firms, he added, was the fact that to date Britain and France had been salisfied to rely largely on their own produc- tion and--"have not been disposed to encourage Canadian production of heavy equipment to the extent of fur- nishing up-to-date plans and specifica- tions." people for 'an accelerated war effort with announcement of a ten point pro- gram designed to muster the "utmost strength" of the nation and throw Canada's full weight into the struggle against the German Reich.
