It will take its 'place as one of the important,, .records In the Hydmo enciltives for it clearly:; reveals how Ontario's great public ;'owner• Ship enterprise is applying, itself, with unswerving determination and a high sense of responsibility, to the taste of serving the best interests of the people in time 'of.vPar• es it did in the days' of peace,' ' The Report reveals that in mc"e than 125 out of its 296 urban.Hydro utilities in Ontario the net debt in relation to total assets Ip less than' 5 per cent while there are 109` Hydro utilities which have no debenture debt. In his Introduction to the Report, Dr, Thomas H. F,iogg, chairman and chief engineer, directs etteatioe to the coming power shortage in South- ern Ontario wheel", d,uring'• next winter, may exceed: 300,000 • horse- power and will not be less than .50,- 000 horsepower. Thie : s9sortage, he warns, will have to' be 'met by ,...eon - servation and restrictions. In ad• clition, ,scarcity of materials means that improvements pot vital to the supply of adequate service to war industries must be postponed. The Commission takes 'the broad view that in addition to making available the power snrgrpiiea needed for the maximum war 'effort, it must ensure that Ontemio'e valuable etelotric power is ut:tiuzed to the best advantage. ',111unition plants, 1t is pointed out, must be encouraged to use electric power `felly, and , in many new ways in order to 'epee& the manufaeture of war swpplies. At the end of 1941, the "commis- •slan was ,supplying ' about ono halt million horsepower; or-- pprtoximrale- ly 25 pee cent of its total output tot direct war production, In October, 1941, the primary load et all systems for the first time exceeded 2,000,000 horsepower, In Autos, introductory review, Dr. Hogg 'comments upon certain prob. leans Hydmo has had to face as a result of the delay In reaching a decision upon the important St. Lawrence project, These prcblems, he states, have received the Com- mission's constant attention and are now pressing for a decision. oeseeeeoeseeeeseeevievootenvocee • MONUMENTS • To those contemplating building a Monument, i have Just secured a big selection of different kinds of granite.

The first remotion of some Canad- ian citizeus to Mr. Ilsley's drastic new budget was to reach a hasty conclusion that after paying increas- ed' income taxes and compulsory savings, they would have no more left to buy War Savings Certificates and Victory Loan Bonds. No one will accuse the Minister of Finance for having failed to Place Canada's current war problem lion, estly Arefore the people of Canada He reported that we would have to reelect 'about four billion dollars to carry on during the Racal year, He said that even with the increased taxes, tie antiepated only about tv,'o mullion dollars revenue from taxes, and that the ether half of the Year s war bill would have to come from voluntary purohiases of oertifioicatea and bonds, Mr. Daley was reasonably sure of his ground when he laid his new peenbefore the •House of Commons, Ha knew that the large amu cif two billion dollars to ,be raised through the sale of Canadian securities will be available. And he also recogniz- ed that that money will be available only if each individual does• his share in outtiug down Ms private spending to a bare minimum. In days of easy money, and we had' these kind of days during the Past two or three years, people have become accustomed to tiviking in terms o'e dollars rather than in pen, nies' and dimes. Under the first impact of a budget such as we have just had, tbere is a common ten& envy for mon and women to keep on Welting in terms of dollars. We hurriedly revew the large items of our personal budget, suc ttas font, food and clothing, and can see 11.0 possibility of cutting down on these major items.

Ont, C.P.R. Shopmen Give Gun For Freedom Canada's mounting share in the fight against the Axis was emphasized by Brigadier F. M. W. Harvey, V.C,, Officer Com- manding Military District 18, when on Saturday afternoon,141ay 23rd, he received the 100th naval gun produced at the Canadian Pacific Railway's Ogden Shops, at Calgary, as a gift from the muni- tions workers there to the nation. "Let us hope that it goes into action soon," he said, "on a Cana - di uviol soon,". Canadian gunners behind its sights;' Although rate of production at Ogden has not been revealed by authorities, the 100th piece of war ordnance came off the as- sembl3r line there some time ago. Paying all shop costs and cost of material on this particular gun, the employees presented 11 to the country in a simple but impres- sive ceremony niarking, as one of the speakers said, a fine spirit of national and industrial solidarity, The gun itself is an all-purpose naval weapon, designed for use against submarines and surface craft, as well as sky raiders, throwing a Shell of approximate- ly 12 pounds from its long barrel, In receiving the gun from R. Alderman, representative of the shopmen, Brigadier Harvey rep- resented Hon. C. 11 Howe, Min- ister of Munitions and Supply for Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company was z'epresent- ed by W. A. Mather, vice-pres- ident of Western lines, who offi- cially received from the employees a cheque for shop costs on the gun, and by H. B. Bowen, Chief of Motive Power, from Montreal. r. L. Gubbins, works manager, acted as chairman. The Guard of Honor was made up of war veterans among the shopmen 'under Capt. McLennan. Pictures show Brigadier Harvey inspecting the Guard of Honor, the gun and a glimpse of the actual presentation ceremony.
