RELY ON CANADA
In the years 1935 to 1939, only
25 per cent of the total imports of
bacon into the United Kingdom was
supplied by Empire countries, prin
cipally Canada. With supplies cut
off from Europe, Canada stepped
into the breach, and by the 3rd
year, of the war, Britain looked to
Canada to supply 75 per cent of the
total required. In the 4th year of
the war, Canada’s responsibilities
had increased to SO per cent of the
total quantity needed to maintain
the bacon ration of four ounces per
person per week.

JMunitions Minister Howe
Discusses the Gas Situation
Munition Minister Howe has
warned Canada’s motorists that war
developments may at any time cause
a reduction in the amount of gaso
line available for civilian use and
reiterated that Canada’s synthetic
rubber program means no relief of
the civilian tire situation.
“Cur petroleum situation is still
very serious,” Mr. Howe said in
reviewing the operations of his de
partment for the House of Com
mons.
“While the victory in Tunisia
will mean the opening of the Medi-
erranean and relief for over-bur
dened shipping, an offensive, or
several offensives in Europe would
make heavy demands on our trans
portation facilities for the ship
ment of vast quantities of petrol
eum products.”
A Crown company, Wartime Oils
Ltd., had been established to pro
vide assistance in development of
marginal petroleum deposits but
Canada still must depend on out
side sources foi’ about S5 per cent
of requirements.
“As these sources are being call
ed upon to supply increasingly
greater quantities of oil for the
fighting fronts, it becomes neces
sary for Canada to get along with
less.
JAMES STREET AUXILIARY
The ladies of the Afternoon Auxil
iary held their June meeting in the
church schoolroom on Thursday
afternoon , June I Oth. The president,
Mrs. M* Southcott, presided. After
the singing of the opening hymn the
secretary read the report of the May
meeting and called the roll to which
a goodly number responded. Owing
to the absence of the treasurer we
did not have her report, but other
convenors of committees gave favor
able reports. Mrs. Christie was then
called upon to give a report of the
18th Annual -Conference Branch held
at Ingersoll which she and the pres
ident attended. She gavei some of
the high lights which were very
helpful and interesting. The theme
of the conference was, “It Ye Have
Love One For Another”. Kindliness
really is the world’s greatest need.
The success or failure of a life is
how we practice the golden rule.
Mrs, Cook’s group then had charge
Of the program it and was conducted
by the president, Mrs. Skinner read
the Scripture and Mrs. Southcott
gave the prayer, A delightful and
beautifully rendered duet was given
by Mrs. Coates and Mrs. Goulding en
titled, “In Heavenly Love Abiding”.
Truth about our Japanese Canadians
was the program theme and some
of the thoughts were; the Canadian
Government encouraged Japanese to
come to Canada for cheaper labor;
juvenile delinquency practically nil;
no Japanese Canadians will go on
relief. They should be given a chance
to prove themselves.
Prayer was again offered by
president. The closing hymn

1942, says George R, Paterson, Can
adian Animal Products Trade Com
missioner in Great Britain. Not
withstanding the increased drain on
manpower by the armed forces and
industry, British agriculture
more reached new heights in
duction of foodstuffs.
In 1939 domestic production
vided little over 30 per cent of the
food requirements or 47,000,000
people in the United Kingdom. For
19 42 it has been estimated that
over 6 0 per cent of the total food
necessities wei;e home grown, and it
is, fully expected that at least anoth
er 10 per cent can be added in 1943.
The important acreage increases
have been in wheat and other coarse
grains, potatoes, vegetables and
sugar beets.
It is estmated that by 19 42 an
additional 6,000,000 acres had been
added to the pre-war cultivation
areas. This is roughly an addition
of 50 per cent to the pre-war acre
age devoted to cultivate
eluding hay in rotation,

Agriculture called for an additional

Farm tractors have been increas

Too much ci-edit cannot be given
to the County War Committees for
this increased productivity and
general efficiency, says Mr. Pater

Despite all the mother can do the kiddies will run

do a dozen things the mother cannot help.
■Half the battle in treating children’s colds is to give them something
they will like; something they will take without any fuss, and this the mother
