Psot" 'has published a survey 'of Canadian in-. . dustry in war time, 'which-is- a distinct contribu- tion to Fo understanding of the 'Canddian war effort. The. wealth of information supplied in that 124 page issue is so great that it is difficult to give even a very incomplete idea of the contents. Front page titles of the eight sections are-- ° "Victory, Yardstick of Defence"; "Wings for Victory", "Democracy on the March", "Together the Job is Done"; "Ships and Sailors"; "Guns, Shells for Victory"; "War. on Wheels" and "the regular front page of news. Some highlights of Canadian and American war effort will be of interest. For instance -- The " United States Defence program will cost $45 bil- lions in. Army, Navy, Air Force and Equipment. As an example of the speeding up process not this increase in Canadian war employment note these figures: "Expansion of the aircraft industry of Canada from the pre-war position in 1939 shows an in- crease in floor space from 385,060 square feet to 2,611,760 square feet. If the addition of 390,000 square feet under at the Malton plant of National Steel Car is added, the total, by the end of 1941, would reach 2,901,760 square feet. In regard to personnel: Before the war, 2.271; increased to 28,7656 today. Adding 2,626 for Can- adian Associated Aircraft, the total would be 81,380, and with an addition of 2,900 employees at Malton in 1942, up to a grand total of 34,280." This little note gives an iden of how we are "delivering the goods," 'Flying across the Atlantic ocean has become a commonplace occurrence in the lives of un- known hundreds--or perhaps thousands--of men within the past year. © "Prime reason is the operation of ATFERO and its predecessor organizations.

Each hour that a bomber is Jin flight it needs from 100 to 200 gal: lons of gasoline. ' When the war Ey none of the belligerents was self-sufficient in petroleum supplies. In spite of its conquest and emphasis. on synthetic pro- ducts, Germany" is still short of covering its neéds. Italy must obtain almost all of its sup- plies from Germany. Japan imports 65% of its 'crude oil from foreign sources, Russia, alone among the warring nations, has enough oil for its own use, The British- Empire itself supplied only 2.6% of the world's oil output in 1940. But by ownership control and other arrangements, Britain and her active allies now control 10.48% of the world's Through control of the seas, Britain has access to the oil in the Western Hem- {isphere, the world's greatest reservoir." Financially, Canada -is assuming an immense burden. Far from being a burden upon Britain new, she is a willing creditor. "Canada's direct war expenditures will this year take 256% of Canada's greatly expanded -na- tional income. This is in addition to all other public expenditures" -- Dominion, provincial and municipal. These war expenditures are being made en- tirely by Canada. They do not represent "leas- ing" or "lending" but a direct contribution by - Canada to the cause of freedom."

TURNER DIES IN funeral, including Dr. Rogers, Mr. 1 you don't know ragweed, it. is just as well to find out?, for it ia be- coming one of the greatest menaces to * physical comfort. Thousands of peo- ple suffer from hay fever because of ragweed. It should be destroyed * whenever it is seen. $. This statement leads to a consider- ation of the whole matter of weed de- struction, Whose business is-it? Are we to expect the municipality to clean up our boulevards? When that is done shall we expect the weed inspector to enter our premises and take over weed destruction They? Of course we know that such.a course would be tremendously expen-- sive and lead to endless complications. The answer to all these problems of cleanliness and good gocial conditions is that.every householder shall be held responsible for the proper condition from highway to back fencé, and 'trom neighbor fence to neighbor fence. Referring again to ragweed, there should be a regular crusade to get rid of .this pest. You can see it growing almost anywhere. It is particylarly bad along roadsides and in fence cor- ners in villages. If you want to be 8 good scout, pull up ragweed whenever and wherever you see it. And while you are about it, the de- struction of wild carrot, bladder cam- pion, sow thistle, burdock and lambs quarter should Yerelve similar atten- tion. The loss ons the spread' of weeds is exceedingly great, and fit could be saved by proper attention by householders and. property owners.
