Require Care
Although stoves have been taken
•eff the "frozen" list and purchases
can be made if proven absolutely'es-
senti"al, it .does not mean that 'careful
;attention should lag. .
NeveBr use coarse abrasives on a
;.stove Clean the enamel •parts with
soapy water:. If the stove is wiped
•off after every meal; and •if •the food
which boils over is wiped up immed-
iately this won't often be necessary.
Remember -to allow the enamel to
-cool before wiping off the stove with
'a damp cloth. The' damp cloth •may
cause the enamel to crack: For the
same reason spilling cold food or
water on; the hot porcelain surface
should be avoided when possible. •
Never use a stiff brush or .sharp
'instrument to 'clean the open coils
of an electric stone. When food is
spilt on the heating element, , allow
it to char and then brush it off with
as soft brush. • •
Many houses in the towns and on
the farms have wood and coal ranges,
-or kerosene or gasoline stoves. Their
care must not ' he, neglected either..
The coal and wood ranges -should
have their flues cleaned frequently so
that the heat will circulate properly,
Crease should be wiped off the out-
side of the stove with soap and wa-
ter. Then the stove should be rub-
bed with a. cloth moistened with a
very little kerosene or a light lubri-'
eating oil.
Kerosene and gasoline stoves need
to have their wicks cleaned once a
,day, removing all the char. The fuel
tank should- be drained, the feed pipe
•cleaned With a stiff wire,.. and the tank
rinsed out • with a very little clean
fuel once every three months or so.

Achievernents of :Three
Years - ' • (ByGrant .Dexter in Winnipeg Free
• Press)
Three years ago today, September $1,800 millions in all.
10, Canada declared war.
No • nation could have been less
ready for war than we were in Sep-
tember, 1939. We had never made a
gun or a tank. We were without.ex-
perience in modern war and its' infin
rte complexities: '` Our army wasn't
worth mentioningr•: Our air force had
been all but disbanded in the depres-
sion. Our .navy comprised a dozen
ships and a few" hundred officers and,
ratings. There were not enough
modern weapons in the • country to
equip a platoon. Aircraft that were
not obsolete could be counted on the
finger's of -one hand.
Three years have passed: years
which, no doubt, are mere arbitrary
division points in an epic struggle.
This much, however, is true. No gen-
eration of Canadians ever faced. so
great . a challenge or responded, so
Magnificently. Nothing in. our . past
approaches th'e achievements of these
years:
No one'in 1939, in 1940, or in 1941
could or did foresee 'the future. No
one, --as the record proves, believed
we could do what we -have done. In-
deed, our war power today is so great
and so complex that- few realize its
sweep: •
Because they .are cold and imper-
sonal, 'facts cannot really tell the
story. Nevertheless, here are'"a_ few
of them.'
In terms of dollars, ' we had been
spending. about $14 millions"' per year
'on, defence. In the first, year of the
.war the outgo rose to $299 millions;
in •the second, to :$1,016 millions. ''In
the thiru year, up to July 31, the out-
lay was $1,609 millions, on our own
war account. And there will : be an-
other $200 millions for August=+say
The months tell the same story, pos-
sibly more impressively. In that first
September of war, thecost was $3.,-
864,000. The second war September
cost $66,676,000., In September, 1941,
the cost was $9-0,561/000. The fourth
September? About $225,000,000. The
monthly outgo both in March and May.
of this . year exceeded $200 millions,
and costs are still rising -swiftly.
And that is only our own war ef-
fort. We -are, in addition, a supplier
of • war material to • our',aliies-chief-
ly °tp Britain. In the first two year's
of war we -were paid by Britain
through the extinguishing of Canadian
debt held there. But there was not
enough of .this debt -to meet the tor-
rent of our aid, so last spring we
passed a law making a free gift of
$1,000 millions to Britain. In April,
$80 millions went forward; in May,
$140 million's; in June, ,$216 millons;
in July, $112 millions. The billion
dollar gift was more' -than half ex-
hausted in four months, and the out-
flow is rising. It will be nearer $2
billions before the fiscal year ends. •
On Britain's account, add" another
$7,00 niiilions ,to,•the• war cost' inthis
third year of the :struggle. The up-
ward leap is really from $1,016 mil-
lions
illions in the second year to about $2,-
500 million's in the third. And re-
member that in this single year- we
have spent as much money as we did
in the whole of the 1914-20 war per-
iod, pIus our production =of shells for
which Britain. paid in hard cash.
' Most people agree we did our job
in the last war, but our utmost then
was nothing . to the achievements of
today. •
'Money, perhaps, is- not the best
gauge. Take men:
•
193.9.
Army 4,500
Overseas nil
Draftees nil
Navy 1,774
Ships . 13
Air Force 4,430
War industry - nil
War contracts nil
The army figures need explanation.
The overseas mens are included in the
330,000, 'but the 40,000 trainees are
additional.
We have now 526,000 in the armed
services -not. counting the thousands
of women who are today in khaki,
each, one of them relieving a man for.
ni re 'essential ' duty. The grand total
is much greater than in July, 1$17,
the comparable point in 1914-18. And
recruiting, ' is still very • .good, which
Was Mit the ease at the end of the
third year of the last war. By De-
cember we will have surpassed the
record in military manpower. of World
War I, •aI•though the last war was -
largely an infantry war.
In 1914-18 we never had - more than
275,000 in war industry. Already we
have three times as many in war
plants, and the total continues to in-
crease. -`
Take taxation. In the last war 'we
inflated the coat of the war, making
the -creak of 1921. inevitable..: Ten
cents in the dollar was the limit of

cent. We pay in taxes nearly thirty
cents out of the dollar.
Inflation, so far, has been, avoided.
Taxation has, helped, but the common
people have shown real capacity to
sacrifice. When war 'came, in August,
1914", the cost of living index was 102.
Three years later it Was. 134.4, and it
was rising from one to two points per
month. The great bubble was swell-
ing and would reach the explosion
point at 198 in post-war years. :q,•
i"n September, 1939, the cost of liv-
ing index was 1:00, and it had risen to
115 when the price ceiling '-as im-
posed in October, -1941. Today it is
117, and it declined a fraction of a
point in July.
The buying power of our dollar is
being ' maintained. The 1914 dollar
was ,worth about ii0 cents in 1920 in
terms of what it would buy. The 1939
dollar has lost a little, but it is hold-
ingsteadily=•!because all of us have
accepted the disoiplin'e -,df taxation,
wage and ,price, ceilings and exchange
control.
All this is not a paean to the gov-
ernment. Long ago the people of
Canada disproved the forecasts of Mr.
King and his ininisters,°-the econom-
ists and the statistibiane. The record
affirms that the people of this coun-
try'could and have done farmore to
win victory than ou'r leaders and ex -
parts' believed possible.

on Nov, 20, 1940, Mr. Howe said:
"The next eight months will witness
a rapid•,expansion of employment .
At the end of that ,period Canada
should be .producing the practical
maximum' of . war materials of which
Canada is capable."
That would be July, 1941. But pro-
duction has doubled since then. The
people knew better than Mr. Howe.'
After the budget of 1941, Mr. Ilsley
said publicly that the limit of , taxa-
tion had been reached. But the peo-
ple knew better than Mr. Ilsley, as
the 1942 budget bears .witness,
On Feb. 2, 1941, Mr. King announc-
ed the complete and final war pro-
gram, "based upon Canada's utmost
capacity."
On Feb. 3, 1941, Col. Ralston said
that the new war program "means
we are going as . full out as wecan
go -all we can dd."
Passing months have contradicted
those statements.
True, the government has never re-
tarded="vvar • activity; never thrown
sand in the. wheels. Ithas been a
green light all the way. Col. Ralston
has been making the armybigger and
bigger. Mr. Macdonald has been ex-
panding the navy unceasingly. The
story of Mr. Power and his air force
is Written daily and ever larger, in
the skies the world around. Mr. Howe
!has yet to call halt to war industry.
Only last week he undertook to pro-
duce giant Lancaster bombers.
On a realistic view, it may be •true,
as some experts contend, that we are
now over-extended in every phase of
war activity. But expansion is still
the order of the day.
And there e,ww
ere those who said
that, without casualties, Canadians
could norbe expected to do •their ut-
most. .Including Dieppe and Hong
Kong, our casualties 416 not exceed.
1,;900, bf whom many are l 'lsoners
of war. By 'July, 1917, our casualties
were 102,159. In the month of Octo-
ber; 1916, on the Sonenet,,._our, casual-
ties_. were 14,174, more than double
our lo3e'es in the first 3i Ind'nths of
this War. This has been a strange,
war for Canada, 'but 1aek of casual-
ties se!ebis not to have blunted the
common will; for victory.

these discoveries "Long Lake," but
Milker remembered that half : a dozen

that name. He suggested "Cbbalt,

it up on the site selected for the rail

The finding of gold soon followed
that of silver and cobalt- Four years
after the Cobalt find, rumors came
that gold -bearing ' rock had been
found in the Porcupine country north
and west of Cobalt. Old prospectors
got ready to go there; one of them,
Hollinger, had not enough money to
buy his share of the necessary 'sup-
plies. He was "grub -staked" by a
friend with $50, on condition that the
lender would receive half the money
value of any discovery.
Arrived in the Porcupine the pros-
pectors went to work. One found the
Dome mine;, another the Porcupine
:Crown. Hollinger had no luck; It
looked. 'as if he was "hoodooed." Then
