Dominion's requir ments, officials of the Mines and Resources Department say. , "This work takes time, but the results of what has heen done are ° encouraging," they, sald," "For the 'Indians particularly, security. in "respect to food and revenue fro furs is on the way." - Indian and Eskimo hunters: now have first claim on the 'game in about 1,000,000 'square miles ;of Canadian territory, / A dispatch from Washington 'said big game animals are on the: Increase in United States forests -.and suggested more hunilng was needed in some areas. The: situa. tion in Canada is different, _ "The welfare of a large native population which lives by the ehase * in northern areas {is Involved," ofticlals said, Vo other eas where there are Open hunting' sea- sons when game is plentiful, Can. adlan wild life is an jmportant attraction for tourists, and hunters come from many parts of the world, "Game surpluses here can hardly . be called .a problem." In the huge territory set, aslde or natlve hunters some 50,000 In. fans make: their living, officials said. The assurance white hunters will not invade these territorles bas brought back ancient Indian cuBtoms whereby .a hunter could mark the beaver dams in his own hunting territory and know . that other tribesmen would not despoil em, I CF deg eae RE "Of the territory" set aside. for native hunters, 500,000 square miles is in the Northwest Territories, where meat and the revenue from furs are essential to the well-being of the natives. Surplus animals from. Canada's fenced animal parks have helped the Indian population. The meat has been used for relief and the hides have provided the raw ma- terlal for handicrafts. Sometimes: excess animal population from the parks is distributed to other areas, "In the national parks and North- west Territories a constant watch is kept on the changing - animal populations, and 'we know what conditions are from year to year," officials" said, " "We - have to remember that there are certain cycles in animal life: Whilé.-there may be an" abun-- "dance of certain types one year the: shortage In ensuing seasons may be severe." One of the important aspects ot - wid lite conservation in Canada is the close relationship between for- ests and wild life, officials sald. Many areas must depend on forests and wild lite for all of their future development. 'How To Live Long Every sensible citizen 'Is vitally interested in every reasonable sug- gestion which is made to increase happiness contentment and long Jife, says The Chatham News, A friend of this department har for- _wardefl to the editorial desk, an unusual article which draws strik- ing "attention to experience, and prersively helpful in this regard. It follows: He brushed his teeth twice a day with a nationally advertised tooth brush, The doctor examined him twice a year, . He slept with the windows opén.

Berlin and Vienna are the only cities where the dis- tribution of Bibles. is. now per: mitted. - ' This_1is hardly surprising. How could the Germans display any in. consistency In their policies -ot pillage and rapine; in their god- less acts of niurder gnd destruc tlon., The only surprising thing about it is that Bibles still can be distributed Jn Berlin and enna, although no doubt this is In -dlminishing - numbers, __ Perhaps those who receive the Bibles are ---at once placed. under suspicion. In the Bible there always is to. "sad at heart to give strength to the worrled and weary; to give the real meaning to life on earth, The Nazis would not want too many Bibles in Gérmany becausg "it might lead to great confusion in the minds of Germans who are still not convinced that the Nazi crecd "1s "the only one. drive for world domination, offer in their subjects no room for hope, for solace, for charity; no room for persons of good' will; for those - whose minds do not run to the allow. free circulation of the Bible.

They might -become doubtful, It would be too bad for Hitler if a great many in Germany became doubtful. --Ottawa Evening Journal. nr . FARM EFFICIENCY Plgg 1s pigs' is not a good war time motto for farmers, The pres- ent emergency creates an extra ordinary demand for fodstuifs which. rules out any blind depen- dence on what Providence may ohoose to produce from the fields. It requires a stepping up in pro- duction both in quantity and qual- ity, and this fact is recognized by action taken by governments both here and In the United States. Tho Dominion Department of Agriculture is engaged on a cam: paign to improve the - quality of Canadlan eggs. 'I'he 'American De- partment. sets out on a house-to- house canvass of the farms, to put over a campaign having as 'its object the fitting -of 1942 crops to. wartime needs. To the layman, and perhaps to "many farmers, an cgg is an egg. But, as the Dominion authorities point out, there are graduations of quality in such products, just as there are fruits and vegetables. and grains. With Britain appealing for imore and more eggs, the govern- + instructions whereby, through pro- .per rearing, Housing and feeding, hens can be made to produce a higher quality, 'There must be more specific planning of farm production, "ae -- time has, temporarhy at least, gone by for farmers to.gear their out. put to the exigencies of local or district markets which they can determine by personal cbservation, They must preparo to serve distant consumers, and they must turn sr advice and gudldance to the authori- tiles who are acquaiiMed, through study and negotiation, 'with -the needs of Britain.--Windsor Daily Btar, . -. y= "~ - HE WENT FOR A WALK Willlam Gallac nist member, the 'Britis '8th ; vie be found something to solacé the The Germans, in their devilish Nazi pattern.

The gravity of this -situation--calls--for--a---major-dis--- traction to relieve the pressure on _ the Red armies. Would a genera] invasion of Western Eur- ope be the answer? Mr, H, G. Wells, the British writer says: © "Today, we have command _of the sea, we have the submarine problem'well in hand, and we have mastery of the air.. That means "_aymore or less complete blockade is" possible. But it means some-- thing far more effective than It means immense 'and de- --cisive striking power.

When he returned to the House he apologized to the speaker and the the House and asked for complete withdrawal of. his remarks about the Prime Min- ister. 4 The point in this repeated story is that Mr. Gallacher went for a walk, There's nothing like going for a walk when a man loses his tem- per and makes a fool of himself. The walk clears his head and brings him back to rationality, --St. Thomas Times-Journal. . igen EDUCATION KEPT UP IN : BRITAIN Co "When the heavy German bomb- ings of Great Britain destroyed schools among other huildings; edu- cation was disrupted for the time being. However, by this time 96 per cant of the children taking elementary classes are rceeiving full-time instruction. And; satisfactory progress has been made in restoring 'upper edus cational facilities. 5 It 13 good that the schools are being continued. The children of today will be the men and women of tomorrow and itsis highly im- portant that their education be not neglected. . VISITING CHICKENS Why does a chicken cross tho road?

Jerry -must scurry from one point to another along his immense front to meet -these enquiring thrusts, He must do it in great force. He must maintain forces 'on his Wes- tern Front as large or larger than those he has entangled in the bear's grip to the east, I do not think that the much talked of invasion of Britain can happen now. There may be a raid but I doubt if it will be much of a raid. On the other hand, I% cannot believe that all these in- vasion manoeuvres which are go- ing on over here do not prelude an invasion of the Continent. 1 am convinced that presently, and the sooner the better, one of these sham-fight manocuvres will just turn round and strike at the neck of Denmark, or Brest, or Bordeaux, or Trondhjem,.or Mur- mansk or Morocco, or, after- the Iran fashion, to safeguard us against further fence-sitting, in Spain." uy Invasion of Norway Both the location and the peo- ple of Norway. favour a British invasion. Raids bave already been successful there because the Norwegian Fifth Column is the most daring and best organized _in all Nazi held territory. In the north the Norwegians were never beaten by the Germans, neither were they discouraged, Their re- sistance to the invaders has been so active that it was necessary : : li I for the Germans to import 70,000 men to garrison that region, Invasion of Finland : Russo Finnish peace feélers might indicate that the Allies were laying a groundwork of a fifth column in Finland to tie in with a possible landing in North- ern Norway, With (he possession - of rthern Norway and Petsamo in./Northern = Finland the way .would be cleared for a supply - route to Russia around the Nor Cape, the White Sea ports of Muy- mansk and Avchangel. is a strategical point: for another réason, the few - significant = nickel de- posits outside of International Nickels Sudbury mines which' produce 85 per cent. of the world's output of nicke. Invision of France Heavy raids on the - French coast could be made without great risk®: It might be possible to establish beachheads in Jicient strength to permit of ex- tensive operations. The Germans would then probably be compel- led to divert troops, tanks and war planes from the Iastern front to prevent the raids from developing into major operations. Invasion .of England The other invasion the invasion of Britain by the Axis powers, might bo answered by the fact that Germany has been forced to remove many troops from France and the oc- cupied countries to the Russian front. There only remain twenty-five divisions in all the occupied countries and these are made" up mostly of raw recruits and older men, I would seem impossible for Germany to re- organize her military machine in time to attempt an invasion of England before the bitter gales of winter have gripped the English -- Channel and the North Sea. - London The Citadel But it should be remembered. that the' threat of invasion is al- ways present. Britain simply can- not afford to weaken herself too much. She is the final citadel in this fight for freedom. Lord Beaverbrook said: "I am confi- dent, np matter what happens in Russia -- and the Russians ave giving, a superb account of them-- selves -- that Hitler will strike at us. I believe this because he © cannot get peace anywhere ex- cept in London, There is no use. his trying to get it. elsewhere, and there can be no peace for Hitler as long as London stands."

THE STORY OF BABAR THE TRAVELS OF BABAR BABAR THE KING By Jean de Brunoff Not many books, written for children, give real enjoyment to the older person who, perforce, - ® reads ald@yd to the rising genera- tion; buty the grown-up, with "the heard of a child," will get as much - pleasure out of thesb three stories as will the children for whom they were written. They are the continued story of the elephants Babar and Celeste, all their Stephan friends and a dear little old lady who loves elephants, . The illustrations, full of homey touches and subtle humour, will gladden the eyes of the grown- ups as well as of the youngsters, The skilful use of clear, flat col- our "and strong line drawing,. achieves an amazingly graphic effect, free from confusing de- tail. Such illustrations cannot faile to have a favourable infli- 4 ence on the chijld's art education. The Story of Babar; The Travels of Babar; Babar the King ,/. + by Jean de Brunoff . , .
