CA DIAN 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 rapidly into production of much needed mechanized units,munitionsand equipment of all kinds. Rounding out our national activities in a more balanced economy, Canadian industry has in ad- dition fo 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 fo play in the development of Canada defenceofitsdearlyreasu ed so far and in the treasured traditions and of democracy in general. 7 41 h l , c , 147/ Tllr"7; Former Blyth Resident Passes At Goderich— After an illness of about four weeks, Giles Jenkins of Goderich. passed peacefully away recently in his ninetieth year.
