GIRLS TEAM LOST TO LISTOWEL CLUB Interesting- Game Held At Listowel • The result of building up a team over a' period of a few years was demonstrated at Listowel on Wednes: day night last week when the Wing- ham Girls' feam went down to a 6-0 defeat at Listowel, The coach of the Listowel team informed us that they had been having the girls play for the 'past three years. Even with the rather one-sided score the game was a pleasing event and Wingham did not deserve a shut- out by any means, Janet King playing goal in the first and third period did well, and she was a spark plug on 'the forward line in the second. Our girls have improved during the season, but they were defeated by a team that showed much more 'experience. Lis- towel stored two goals in each period. Wingham—goal, Janet King, Aud- rey Ridley; def„ Brown and Eleanor Deyell; centre, Maxine COW- 41)1 wings, Ann VanWyck and Norma 13rown; Mts., Loris Cullitott, Shirley.

Referee B, Bamford, Listowth by Ilelen Marsh Week before last I had thepleasure of meeting the' directors' of the Cana- dian Weekly Newspapers' Association while they were Ottawa, And it really was a pleasure; they were right on their toes discussing mutual pro- blems, and planning better things for Your papers. Naturally I asked them for criti- cisms and suggestions for "Gleanings", They thoug-cit you would be interested in hearing about the different govern- ment departments in Ottawa, what they do, and how they spend your money, They theinselves found the federal setup in 'Ottawa so interesting that they were sure you would too. So, in answer to their request, I'll tell you something about one or more de- partments each week. * * Canada's Biggest single Business The government of Canada is the country's biggest employer. cit. has 143,000 people working for it, and pays out in ealaries $17% 'million every month. (It has ballooned during the War; in 1939 it had only .60,000 em- ployees), There are 18 different departments, as well as a great many boards, com- missions, committee and publicly own- ed corporations, The departments are Agriculture, External Affairs, Finance, Fish'eries, Justice, Health and Wel- fare, Labour, Mines and Resources, Munitions and. Supply, National De- fence, National 'War Services, Post Office, Public 'Works, Reconstruction, State, Trade and Commerce, Trans- port, and Veterans' Affairs. This vast organisation carries on far-flung activities. It operates a rail- toad, a string of hotels, an airline, a national radio setup, a film studio, and a world-famous mounted police force. Through it, too, the people of Can- ada are putting up a war effort that is second to none in proportion to the country's resources, population, and productive capacity. More next week! * * * * I Baa Baa, No Sheep! It's summer in Australia, and "down under" farmers are experiencing an unprecedented drought, and their . wheat crops are in grOat :danger, This: means that millions of head of sheep . may die. This year there has not been enough of the food normally used for feeding livestock, and they .have been fed on wheat at the rate of 70 million, bushels a year—half of which went to sheep. There is not enough Shipping available to import wheat, and a wheat authority in Australia has said that, Unless the drought breaks, "nothing that is practical :can save the lives of millions of head of livestock rbefore the, next cereal harvest,' Chinese War Score A Chinese magazines is on my desk, telling stories of sacrifice that stagger the imagination, "Of the total esti- mated population of China," it -says, million live in Free China, 200 million live under Japanese occupa- tion, and 40 million are displaced per, Sons," The minimum' number esti- mated to be needing relief is 84 million—a figure equivalent r to -.the 'combined populations of Canada, Aus- tralia, Belgium, , Denmark, France, Greece and the Netherlands! War casualties in China over the 7-year period July, 1937 to. June • 30,, 1944, totalled 2,802,220 from the Army, and at least 182,000 air raid casualties. In addition 40,000 "warphans" — children rendered homeless and friend- less by the war—are being cared for by various relief and philanthropic.. associations. The only bright spot in the picture: is the 'figure for Japanese casualties over two million .army casualties, be- sides 600,000 .easpaltics 'front, garrison,: supply and transport ttnits, FOX STAGES COMP,DAVK Ontario is being invaded, quietly and unobstrusively, by an animal- known as the gray fox. Before' the coining of the white man, the gray fox wan a common animal in southern Ontario, This we know from the bones Witnd bt prehistoric Indian village sites. Then it disappeared from our area, 14 range shrank southward, for reasons unknown, It has been absent froth' early historic times until recently. Twenty yeai-s ago the gray fqx population began to spread northward again. The Royal Ontario Museum' received its first specimen in 1942, Subsequently others were secured and the front of the invasion in now known to be from the St. Lawrence to Lake- of-the-Woods, Only time will tell how successful this animal will be in re- establishing itself in Ontario, The coat of the gray fox has a "salt and pepper" colour effect and the tip of its tail is black. These features wilt distinguish it from the red fox in any of its phases. The Museum will ap- preciate information which will add to our knowledge of the gray fox in On- tario.
