In all military Idistricte wibhin the Dominion there French River and Devil's Gap Lure Visitors A cottage on the shore of a ek tree -lined lake with oppor- tunities for fishing, boating, swimming and other warm - weather recreation provides the kind of summer holiday which is essentially Canadian. But life•in a cottage sometimes means a lot of work owing to the lack of city conveniences, which is the reason for the great popularity of such resorts as Devil's Gap and French. River where visitors live in cottages which are as well ser- viced as hotel suites. The simple life„ with all the Informality and ease which the expression implies,'ia the watch- word at these two famous Cana- dian Pacific resorts. Mother IS relieved of the cooking, daughter of the dieh-washing and sonny of the lawn -mowing, while father dresses in his oldest and most comfortable clothes to pursue his own peculiar ideas of summer life. There is a strong family re- semblance between Devil's Gap Lodge, near Kenora, and French River Chalet Bungalow Camp, on the Canadian Pacific Toronto - Sudbury line. In a beautiful section of lakes and forests, they offer endless possibilities for re- creation. No part of Canada has better fishing, `and there are facilities for tennis, golf acid similar sports. Great expanses of water and wooded country make exploring a pleasure, by canoe, motorboat, automobile, horse or Mt foot. Individual bungalows er cot- tages, self-contained and 'cosily furnished, have electric lights, running water and maid service. The central chalet or lodge is the nerve centre of the community because it there that 'deters have their meals and enjoy dan- cing and other amusements in the evenings. Although there are amuse- ments for every member of the family, the most popular sport at these resorts is fishing. That is because the fishing Is so good. Pickerel, pike, sturgeon, plus those scrappiest game -fish of the Canadian water -world, the mus calunge', and the small -mouth black bass are found in abundan- ce. Both districts Have produced record fish, the most outstanding of which was the sixty and one- half pound muscaiunge caught by, J, J. Coleman, of Evansville, Indiana, hi Eagle Lake, east of Devil's dap, hi 1939. That ono holds the world's record. .1 ere ni : �la1lC:iir,'y REFS MEI CANADIAN INDUSTRY AN EMPIRE BULWARK Never in the history of human conflict has industrial capacity, skill and production efficiency counted for so much as it does -in the present national emergency. Fortunate indeed are we, therefore, that Can- ada's comparatively young but virile industrial set-up had been developed to its present high efficiency, otherwise we could not have made the contribution expected of us and so vital to the success of our cause. Management and men of industry, quick to respond to the call of Empire, mobilized its forces with remarkable adaptability, swinging vapidly into production of much needed mechanized units,munitions and equipment of all kinds. Rounding out our national activities in a more balanced economy, Canadian industry has in ad- dition to serving well the home market, developed a substantial and profitable export business. The industrial areas, too, provide ready and profitable markets for our own agricultural products. But great as may be its peace -time contribution to the weal of Canada, Canadian industry rises to new attainments in the contribution being made in producing the requirements of mechanized warfare. Massey -Harris is proud of the part it has been permitted to ploy in the development of Canada so far and in the defence of its dearly treasured traditions and of democracy in general. • MASS E Y,1 -r AR,$ Bl7'1LDER5_ 112, �lmiiUlu ((,,lll`� .. ..-• \•moo. �Y� �.-\ 1V1L' E�D y C'` ",f 8.4 .7 is a.

The door of this building had always been kept closed, and how they got in is dttecult to explain.
