'Qn both Clanadiani coasts today, acid on the Great Lakes) shipkarde are at -1' tempting aitch a, program of construe - tion as this Niton has never known ll:efore—far gr4ater than its efforts In the` first Wbrlld War. Twenty thou- sand workmen' are busy' in the ship- yards, where only. 1,000 are employed in peace times, ,and more gyre being added each .day.; When H. R. Mac_ Millan, head of Wartime Merchant Shipping; Ltd., insisted on British Co- lumbia coast cities adopting daylight saving to provide ' more daylight for shipbuilding, he indicated the tempo which his organization is now devel- oping. More than 100,. freighters of 9,300 tons, make up Mr) MacMillan's l'ist at present --and this though the Cana- dian Government did hot intend earl- ier in the war to build any cargo ves- eels at all. By the end of 1942 Mr. MacMillan expects to have 80 of these vessels in service, without dam- aging the Natiom's new- .program of naval construction. To this end it is necessary, •to re- construct the industries that . supply ship materiels. "Ships are net made in shipyards," says Mr. MacMillan. "They are made in factories and' as- sembled in shipyards. If we have )de- lay, it will be because our factories are our bottlenecks, and not our ship- yards." . More Steel Production To avoid such bottlenecks, Canada, has started to expand steel product tion at Sydney, Nova Scotia, with tate construction of new furnaces which will turn out 670,000 tons of steel in- gots a year. Some of the steel will go into . munitions butmostly into ships. On the Pacific Coast a steels rolling mill is being built outside ;•Van- couver to make, plates for ships, us- ing accumulated supplies of scrap ir- on collected from all over western Canada, which produces no iron of its own. The merchant shipbuilding pro- gram will ultimately .throw into the Battle of the Atlantic about a million tons of shipping, or a twentieth of Britain's total supply when the war started. In the last war, when Can. ada considered itself extremely suc- cessful in ship construction, the 103 vessels built there had a total dead- weight' carrying capacity • of 138,600 tons. Only 45 were of the steel, the rest of wood. Meanwhile, Canada is building a Navy almost from nothing. Since the war started it has launched 50 cor- vettes, which are like baby destroy- ers, estroyers, quickly built and extremely use- fuul in anti-submarf.ne work. Twen- ty-one more are still on order. Of 60 minesweepers ordered 24 have been finished. Three large merchant ves- sels have ben converted into armed cruisers and 27 other vessels have been reconditioned for naval use. At • "Why ,won't 'you advertise?" asked .the representative of a newspaper of, a man, who owned a ashall business in a provincial Uwe. : "I•t doesn't leave a? man any time," was the reply. "1 advertised once last sumhner and the' consequence was I was kept so busy I hadn't have time to go fishing the wihole season." • During the war several police dogs were cited for their intelligence and courage in the same manner as werei the soldiers. One of these dogs which had made an enviable record in France visited a country dog. They were strolti^g through the woods • one day when the police dog spied a skunk. The coun- try dog warned him to leave it alone bu his warning was' of no' avail and he pursued it, while the country dog re- turned to the farm house. • After some time had elapsed the war hero returned :home in a dilapi- dated and forlorn condition, looking as though he hadlmet with some great catastrophe. "What happened?" ineinired the country bred dog. "Oh, 1 caught him all right," was the reply. "I nm him and I whipped him, but the son -of -a -gun gassed me." 1 1 1 1 1 1 doyou —neea WE CAN SUPPLY ANY STYLE • CARBON LEAF CARBON BACK BEFORE PL4OiNG YOURORDER 1 HONE US,FOR MACES Look The for Sign tlaPhLeaf THS EtVRON geoloOk flab 1 1 1 1 r !'O$1TOi s Millinery STRAWS FELTS FABRICS The last word in Summer Millinery, and all must be sold!

Al- together the Canadian Navy, which is the product of this war almost entire- ly, has ordered 235 ships and hap re- ceived 102 of them. At the (beginning Canada found it- self desperate for any kind of naval. vessel, having hesitated for more than 30 years to build a Navy. Traw lers had to be fitted out as mine- sweepers. The Navy bought up a. score of fast private yachts for pa- trol work. Over 400 small craft were ordered and 40 per cent of them, have been completed in addition to all the larger vessels. The. Navy got a few of the over -age destroyers transfer- red to Britain by the United States, using them in convoy work on the At- lantic. To Build Destroyers Now, for the first time in its his- tory, Canada is going to build de- stroyers. At first ,.the Government hesitated to undertake this project in the fear -that it might divert, too much material, labor - and skill from -vessels mere easily built. 'But since the b - ginning of the • war shipyards have been so well tooled up and so many" new rnelf ,well in shi(lbuilding that it IS now considered safe and urgent- ly necessary to get on with a de- stroyer Program. Haw Many tibe -Navy hoes to build on the Atlantis Coast and of Whitt t'lVe the 1ativeremon1 has clot rtalrt.. 1' .21cYOWi:�� but it is known the Canadian de- stroyers will be slightly smaller than the usual British type, though larger than. the American, The first. of ,them will be launched' '"about the end of 1942," according to C. D. Howe, Min- ister of Munitions and Supply. If bile war lasts long, Canada's ship output Should prove a valuable aid to Britain and already itis certain that the pr gram will haVe an important effect en the commercial life of Can- ada after the war. This country will finish the war with a substantial: mer- chant marine,' Government-owned, be- sides its privately owned merchant fleet. In addition for 'the first time, Cat- ada will have a Navy and there is no thought in this country of demobiliz- ing it or reducing it with the coming of peace. It took 30 years and two world ware to persuade Canada that it needed naval protection. As late as 1911 the Canadian Parliament was deadlocked for months on, the advisa- bility dvisebility of buiulding a few naval ships. Now, with universal public consent, the Government builds as many shiyb as it can. Canadian boys eagerly go to sea and the new Navy is filled with lads from the prairies, who had never seen the ocean before the war. This naval•'tu'adition -will remain and Can- ada aoada will never be without a Navy again. 4 The World's News Seen Through TIIE CITRISIIAN'SCIENCE MONITOR An International Daily Newspaper is Truthful—Constructive—•IJnbiaeeJ.'.
