The attack was car­ ried out by planes from an aeroplane carrier. In rapid moves the Japanese struck at Singapore by way pf North­ ern Malaya, took possession of the Island of Lugbang in Manilla, claim to have encircled Hong Kong where Canadian soldiers are stationed, Un­ identified planes flew over San Fran­ cisco and the whole west coast from California to Canada’s northern boun­ dary were blacked out.

That is, providing they have ever liv­ ed on a farm . , . because to farmers the cream and egg money has been the foundation of their business for as long as the majority of us care to re­ member. About this time of year. Mrs. Phil begins to get frugal with the money from the farm produce. She, takes care to always meet the cream-man and demand the cream check before I can flich a quarter for’tobacco. She takes the eggs to town herself these days and asks for the money In place of leaving the surplus as she often does when buying groceries, in order that the “due bill” will take care of what we need during the leaner days when the hens are not in the mood for laying and the cream check has dwindled to a mere shadow of its for­ mer size. I often come in from choring after supper and she will have the old cracked tea-pot on the table with neat, little piles of silver and a few bills spread out on the oil-cloth. She is fig­ uring with a Stub of a pencil on the back of an old envelope . . . and her ‘ hand hovers over the mail-order cata­ logue. She buys very little from it, but it is a sure guide for prices and a constant source of enterainment for the whole family. Mrs. Phil is figuring for Christmas. She has her Christmas gifts neatly listed on the back of an old envelope and her supply of money stacked on the table: Her forehead wrinkles and unwrinkles with the problem of it . . .

D. 1941, J. H. CRAWFORD,( Wingham, Ontario, Solicitor for the Executors, “I expect to sell some hogs before Christmas and 1*11 give you some ; money out of that,” I suggest, but she shakes her head at such a profane thought, She is going to finance* the Christmas season on the “cream and egg” money just as she has financed all the others since we were first mar­ ried. How many times that old tea-pot has saved this household. I have nev­ er known’ how much it contained be­ cause the money is, generally stuffed in among coupons and old bills and re­ ceipts. Yet on every occasion the treasurer-chest has enough to fill the time comes and I overalls for stray member a one dollar bill in a watch pocket of my good trousers and gent­ ly -ask Neighbour Higgins for the $6.00 he owes me . , , and still am eight dollars and forty cents short of the total. Mrs. Phil doesn’t say anything, the money and chaff from the various pockets is piled up on the table . .. and when the amount needed is reduced to $7,23, she reaches for the tea-pot. I have always paid it back . . . because experience has taught’ that it Js one bank which demands that each loan be paid , back before another will be made. A great many farmers with success­ ful places should be ashamed of them­ selves when they start boasting of their’ability to finance. The majority of them merely relied on the ability of their wives to pull them through the hard times with “ cream and egg money” reserves, They have always known that no matter what came along in the way of extra expenses they could depend on the old cream, jug or the cracked tea-pot to give up enough money to tide them over dif­ ficult places. No matter what you want it for, the old tea-pot always seems to have the money. Perhaps its a new pair of shoes of Patricia Ann or a new pair of overalls for yourself . .’, or Mrs. Phil may want a new hat. Dipping down into the old tea-pot she man­ ages to scrape up enough to buy what she needs, Each week when she sells the eggs and the cream-man comes along with the check from the prev­ ious. week . . . she supply, doing it out week. I wonder what a would say if I gave my financial backing as being the cracked tea-pot on the bureau shelf. replenishes the from week to credit .company WHAT IT COSTS TO MECHANIZE WAR For every dollar spent in the last war on armament and transport, Can­ ada is now spending five dollars. Vic­ tor Sifton, Master-General of the Ordance, made some revealing com­ parisons in a broadcast over the C.B. C. national network. Here are a few facts as given by Mr, Sifton: In 1914-18, an infantry division moved on foot at 2% miles an hour. A division was doing well to cover 20 miles in a day. Today an infantry division moves at a minimum speed of ten miles . an hour. A Canadian infantry division in 1918 had 153 motor vehicles and 4,400 horses. The cost plus upkeep at the front for one year was $2,000,000. A division today, has no horses or wagons, but it has 3,500 motor vehicles of more than 160 different types. The cost of the vehicles used by a modern division plus one year’s upkeep is $12,000,000. * In 1914-18 over-all cost of a divis­ ion varied from '30 to 48 millions a year, according to Severity of fighting. Today’s cost of creating and main­ taining an infantry division for one year is $86,000,000. To equip and maintain a Canadian division in the field for one year will cost $155,000,000. There was no military formation in 1918 to compare with, the modern armoured division. Biit the cost of maintaining the whole Canadian corps in France itt the full fiscal year 1916- 17 was $143,000,000 or $12,000,000 less than maintaining an armoured division. f One armoured division develops 394,237 horse power, as mtich as the electrical power used in the city of Toronto* Educational ».
