In wartime, homemakers can help by buying the foods Canada provides in abundance,b while ' restricting the use . of other foods , needed overseas. No other country' has breater or finer supplies of fish than Canada -and fish is one food Canadians should eat oftener than they do. * * * +t. No other food provides more nutri- tion: at low cost. Its protein' value equals that of meat or poultry. Fish oils are easily assimilated. Fish ,is rich in mineralsalts, iodine, iron, calcium, phosphorus and sulphur, .so essential to good health.. It also con- tains a good supply of those vitamins which increase resistance to disease.. * * * ,* With so many kinds of fish- to choose from and different ways to cook it—baking, broiling, steaming or pan-frying—it is easy to have variety in your fish dishes.

From a rural hamlet,: few hundreds, the advent of.' transformed Port Darwin into ling naval and air base with; Wien in the thousands anci' ad' ly increasing until the room/ ese ail' raids. . Air patrols operating' out port can cover the Northern tan coast from Cape York 111 land on the east to Wyndham, ern. Australia; from the Pacific Indian' Oceans, It aleo forms 'a link in the air route whish sti from industrial Australia, far to ..'o south, and across to India, i3oth military and okvi) air ports; .4 constantly htunnling with activity, As the name implies, Port D1 rwiii also offers facilities for shipping. The naval authorities have been under- ubly reticent about the changes and improvements .effected in the harbor, but it le reported that its importance AS a naval base ranks perhaps equal. ly with its importance to the air forces, Land forces are of course essential to gulled the naval and air establish- ments and it is stated that strong Australian army forces have been quartered there since the outbreak of war' in 1050. Port :Darwin was originally sounded in 1800 as the first telegraph station to coinfect Australia with Europe by way of Java and Madras. 'Until 1058, however, Darwin remained an isolat- ed outpost. serving a sparsely popitl- sued district whose main industries f were cattle -raising and pearl fishing, Between Darwin) and the rapidly de- ( veloping cities of southern Australia stretched hundreds of miles of desert' land, Supplies had to travel 3,000 miles by land or sea. Land communi- cation is still only by road as there has never been direct rail coinmimi cation with the south, From Darwin the south -bound laud traveller crust go 300 miles by rail to Buchan, thence by road 000 miles to Alice Springs, duel another 700 utiles by rail 'to a Junction point with, the main South Australian railroads. The town itself, through situated in a colorful tropical area, has few at- tractions for the casual visitor, Fur- thermore its "two -season" climate leaves something to be desired. One- half of the year is hot and dry, the other half is hot rind wet, with severe tropical storms for variety, It is not surprising that 'it tools a war to wake Port- Darwin from somnolent isolation. Probable Nazi Attack Toward Middle East • Since November, when the Nazis made their great bid for the capture of Moscow, their efforts on' the Russ- ian front have been to hold their positions, or at least to cheep the Russian counter -offensive and, except in the last few weeks, it is doubtful if any new war, equipment has been sent to .that front. The divisions which have had to bear the brunt of the Russian .counter' -offensive have suffered severe casualties both in battle and from the cold, but many 'iffliaTr' ill%eigits' were '4n1 back to Po land .and Central Europe. This shift- ing of troops, which began in Octo- ber, has continued throughout the -winter, and they should by now be rested,. retrained and re-equipped— ready to go into action again.

Equipment bought to do more work in less time and at less cost during the years of drouth and depression has taken on greater importance now that our war -time program in men and munitions has created a shortage of labor and materials. The importance of farm equipment has been recognized by the highest material priority rating for civilian goods, yet even with this preference — so great is the manufacturing program for war purposes—it may not be possible to meet the demand for farm equipment this year. It will be necessary, therefore, to take extra good care of your present equipment. Check it over to see that it is in good working order. Replace damaged or worn-out parts now. Use your machines carefully, paying par- ticular attention to frequent and thorough lubrication of working parts. If it is essential that you have a new machine, it is to your interest to place your order as early as possible. Through it's extensive network of branches and local dealers, the Massey - Harris organization is prepared and equipped to give that prompt, reliable service depended upon by generation after generation of Canadian farmers since the pioneer days. Never before was modern farming equipment so im- portant—your local Massey -Harris dealer is ready to help you keep your equipment in good working order. z; Lodge Buys Mitchell Property The Stoneman Block, which has been vacant since September, 1040, and was the property of the McLagan estate, was sold to the Masonic Lodge and will be remodeled with lodge and banquet rooms on the se- cond floor.
