"7 000,000, * Premier General ~ Financial Post. -the article was to Australia Déubles Her War Program. Prime Minister Arthur Fadden has announced. .that Australia's 1941-42 war program will be double that of last year, He said, however, an increased budget / would not affect Australia's fin- ances a great deal becauke sub- stantial - lease-lend assistance is expected from the United States, In the second last war budget a half-cent postage tax was im- posed on each article and tele: phone rentals and 'call rates wete J increased. . Pay for the armed forces was hd increased by 16 cents a "day---32 cents in some eases. . 'He said the new budget will allow for essential war equipment not produced in Australia and that despite aid from the United States, the total war expenditbeg, is" expected to be about $651, compared © with "$310, 000,000 last year. Of the estimated $651,000, 000 expenditure, $480,000,000 will be spent' on Australia's own war 'program and $171, 000,000 for overseas expenditure, Many Ways Of Helping .The Porcuping-Advance recently devoted a leading article to an in- cident revealing at once a nice touch of kindness and indicating how every one may do something . toward helping war work. A local doctor picked up five hitchhiking soldiers. Sensing that they were hungry, he stopped at a Chinese restaurant and invitéd the men to . eat. And how they ate! While heaping on mote food, tho doctor made a mental calculation of the cost. At least 75 cents a- piéce, But the Chinese attendant had been sizing up the situation; also calculating; and his charge was 15 cents each for filling the bungry men. The ensuing dialogue carries a moral: "Fifty cents each?" asked the doctor. "That is. more than reas- - onable, It's generous!" - "Not 50 cents each! Just 15 cents * each!" replied the Chinese. "But 15 cents would not hegin to meet the cost of meals like that," the doctor commented, The Chinese's final reply as he insisted that the price was only 15 cents was this? . "The soldiers do their bit. You do your bit. 1 do my bit." Here were seven men--five sol- dlers, a doctor and a restaurant keeper--each in his. own way "doing his bit." Incidentally, there is revealed also an example of the hospitality of the North Country.-- Globe and Mail, QUITS IN RUSSIA?

A flyjng journey of more than 2,000 miles in British Columbia, the Yukon and Alberta showed that the chain of airports built in the northland to Alaska now is ready for use, although not completed. Radio range stations have been installed at most of the fields and all will be so equipped this year. Airmen will be able to travel into the Far North assisted by services as complete as those on long-estab lished air lines. Newly-construeted runways are already being used by large machines, both Canadian and American, The fields were built by the Transport Department wider ar rangement with National Defence Departments which had consulted with United States authorities American airmen may travel this route to Alaska defence outposts free from the fog which often hampers flying along the coast. A modern transport machine can, leave New York and fly to White: horse, Y, T., or Fairbanks, Alaska, landing only on fields where run ways are good length. At present, the only Inconven- fgnce the pilot feels is that radio" range stations are not all com pleted.
