The animal was of good size (60 Ibs. or more) and gave the boys a ten mile chase... Finally it entered a swamp, which was its "undoing. First shot brought the wolf down; but it got up again. The second shot was effective. It is thought the scarcity of rabbits has brought the wolves nearer to civilization, as several of these &n- trict, " |Churchill Visits Roosevelt The New York Times says: "From the depths of its heart this country will bid Winston Churchill welcome.

The declaration of war establishes an absolute ceiling on prices of all kinds, with a very few exceptions, as they existed during the basic period, September 16th to October 11th, 1041, The exceptions are for inevitable sea- sonal fluctuations as in the case of fruits and vegetables, The clarion call comes to all Canadians to ensure that this ceiling wil not be punctuered.
