Guns—
TO BLAST THE AXIS
Mass production of heavy guns, already an
accomplished fact, is one of Canada's most
amazing war achievements.
In.a scant two years new factories have
been built, machine tools manufactured and
installed, green hands trained --a whole
industry created.
To -day Canada is producing in quantity
;ten different types of heavy guns, complete
tvith all mountings and equipment, ready to
fire. One Canadian factory, manufacturing
•artillery from scrap to complete gun, equals
'in size any similar plant in the world. One
,of the largest automatic gun plants in
existence is located in Canada.
Production schedules for 1942 call for
tnore than 400 anti-aircraft guns 'a month;
500 field guns a month; 150 naval guns a
month; and over 1,000 extra barrels a month: ,

TO OUR POLIGY-HOLDERS:
The Mutual Fire Underwriters Association for Ontario at their
Annual Convention instituted a Campaign for a "25% loss reduc-
tion" for 1942.
At the last meeting. of our Boards 'of Directors, resolutions were
passed in support of this Campaign.
You Are Asked To Do Your Part
THIS IS HOW:
De not smoke in or around your Outbuildings.
Do net handle gasoline near a flame or •sprit,
' Do not allow oily waste to accumulate.
Clean up all Rubbish and Litter around Buildings.
See that your Chimneys are all in good condition.
See that your Electric wiring is properly done.
Fire is a demon of destruction and causes the greatest of 'all
wastes, both in property and life. We therefore" appeal to all our
policy -holders as Ioyal citizens to make a determined effort to see
that no fire large or small, is allowed to start on your premises. By'
doing this you will contribute doubly to the war effort by saving a
loss in• the first instance' and saving the material and effort neces-
, sary for renlarement.

Forced Landing Of Plane
Near Here
During a heavy rainfall last Fri-

A,F. training school at Crumlin was
obliged " to make a forced landing
in a wheat field on the 'farm of Nor-
man Holland, Bayfield Road, one mile
south west of Clinton. It is said that
the flier had lost his bearing on se-
count of poor visibility and did not
know whit pare of the country he
was in.
Having landed" safely he made en
quiries as to his whereahotits, but on
trying to take to the air again he
was unable to rise off thesoft ground.
A phone call' to his home school
brought another plane to his assis-
tante, The stalled plane had to be
towed into an adjoining' field through
an imp. ovised gap in the dividing
fenee. Considerable' damage to •the
wheat crop was occasioned by the
): cavy. rnadline. ..
