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 our taxation is 'War. Taal revenues in 1938-3.9 here' $41.3 minions; in 1939-40, $$641 millions; in 1940'41, :$869 millions; in 1.941-42, $Y,- 463 millions; in the current fiscal.

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. Ot4'aWii used to talk of man and - • lean power available for work and 'battle as Net otter two millions.

Salute to. 'Brussels. 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.

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 the time came to return' south for the winter.
