Some thtngo have teen banned en• tirely, the production of other things has been drastically reduced. Those stops were taken—and more of thein are to come—because there le a die• maying shortage of several kinds of materials vital for war. We cannot have home -front goods and fighting - front weapons at the same time. Salvage is intimately related to this production problem. In the matter of the iron and eteel shortage, salvage is one of the easentlal ways of maintain- ing and increasing that production. Without salvage it would bo impera• tive that a vast and costly compulsory set-up be got under way to provide secondary materials for our steel mills. It is literally true that every bit of iron and steel you help got to war Industry Is vital tor victory. Wasee paper, rags, fats and bones, are equally impatient.

Luke is 'not setting down the' names of these rulei s and priests simply to fix the precise date of the min- istry of John, He is recording the beginning of a new cpoch in the Kingdon of God, and he is setting out the stage and recalling the personages upon it.

Yet all this brave array is doomed, God's Messenger 38, "And he came into all the region round about the Jordan."

How Bully Beef Was First Used Foods Preserved by Canning Early in Last Century . The process of preserving food- stuffs by canning is much older than is generally thought. The firm of Donkin andhall, for in- stance, was supplying a' variety of such foods _for the Navy as early as ,1814, an(l Sir Joseph Hall, the then president of the' (loyal So- ciety, refers' in ' a' testimonial to the firm to the nutritious quali- ties of their "embalmed provis- ions". One of this, firm's "veil sties" was soup and buaki, Hence "bully beef", . It is surprising to learn of the excellent quality of these tinned feuds after many years of preser- v'ation.' For example, H. M. S. ,Blonde carried supplies of tinned pleat during a South Sea voyage of explotetion wh;ch began in 1826. Twenty years later some students of Guy's Hospital 'made a meal. of the contents of one of the tins. A still more remarkable case is that of the tinned . goods carried by H.M,S. 'Fury while on a voy- age in the Arctic in the year 1825. The Fury was lost, but some of her .tinned stores were found on the ice by members of a later expedition, About 1918 two of the tins -some 90 years old - were opened and found to contain pea soup and beef respectively. Some bold persons made a meal of the contents and were none the worse, Tin-openers do not seem to hove been supplied in the early days. One Manufacturer gave instructions on the label that the. tin should be opened by cuttiug away the top with hammer and chisel.

What Science Is Doing CROSS-EYES "Cases of strabismus are us- ually first seen by the funnily doctor or paediatrician and it is important that they should give proper advice to the parents," writes A, Lloyd Morgan, M.D. (Hospital for Sick Children and 1)epnrinlent of Ophthalmology, University of 'Toronto), in The Canadian Medical Associad.ion Journal. The paper is based on a series of about 800 cases at the hospital, in which some surgical procedure was done in about twenty five percent. "Whereas, 50111e years ago the advice was: 'Leave it alone until they are fifteen and they will grow out of i1,' new It is generally accepted," •says I)r. Morgan, that "treatment of strabismus should be completed before ,school age so that the child is not handicap- ped by a physical defect which might affect its whole life. Most authorities are agreed that treat- ment should begin early and if an operation is necessary it should be done before school age, The chances of cure and good binocular vision are much better if this is clone." 1f treatment is delayed, nm - Myopia (weak sight) usually de- elops. In his conclusions, 1)r. Mor- gan lulds that proper diagnosis is most important, that too much emphasis cannot be placed on the inlpoolanoc of early treatment and that no child should be allow- ed to go theough school with crossed eyes; that if tui opera- tion is necessary, it should he done before school age, and in much easier under general an- aesthesia, Nazis Are Given Food For Thought Hero Is a sample of a BAC. broadcast to the Gerntan people: There are seven audible ticks of a clock 'Then a pause.

Commandos Raid Norwegian Coast With Fleet and Alr Force, Make Daring Thrust Against Germany's War Machine Eight enemy ships totalling 15,650 tolls, oil talldS, ammuni- tions stores and a Quisling -own- ed industrial plant \\'COO destroy- ed during a British raid en the small island of Vaagso, 100 miles north of Bergen, Norway, The raid was carried out re- cently by a Comniitndo force of the British Army, aided by light forces of the ]longe Fleet and by the Royal Air Force, Vaagso is the assembly point for German convoys carrying sup- plies to the far northern front in Russia and an officer who took part in the raid said the destruc- tion of shipping had harmed Ger- man communications to that front. The entire German garrison on an island involved in the attack was captured or killed. An enemy tank was put out of action and an oil tank and am- munition stores were destroyed. A Wifeless station and a ce►'ta111 industrial plaint owned by a Quis- ling and known to be operating for the Gei'iutils were destroyed. An officer of the combined op• erations headquarters sail! the German casualties totalled 120 mien and 95 prisoners were taken. A number of Norwegian civil- ians returned with the Command- os. The Commandos suffered "sonde casualties" but the laid was called a complete success.

The most momentous session in Canadian history begins in a few short days, It is your Parliament, The members are the servants of the people, not of any party. They represent every one in the constituency which elected them. Each one of them needs your help as never hrfore. Assert your democratic right to govern. Tell your member what you think should be done and do so without delay. There is one issue which overshadows all others, The Prime Minister of Canada has told us what that issue is, These are his own words: "There is only one way to meet total war, and that is by total effort."--"Wc must maintain the Canadian army at full fighting strength." The Leader of British democracy told the people of Canada what total effort means. These were Winston Churchill's words: "In this strange, terrible world war there is a place for every one, plan and wornan, old and young, hale and halt. Service in a thousand forms is open. There is no room for the dilettante, for the weakling, for the shirker or the sluggard. The mine, the factory, the dockyard, the salt sea waves, the fields fo till, the (tome, the hospital, the chair of the scientist, the pulpit of the preacher --from the highest to the humblest, the tasks are all of equal honor. All have their part to play." To fulfil that description of total effort is the first and foremost duty of the Parliament of Canada, The people of Canada must be told what part they are to play. They cannot guess. Every man and woman, strong or weak, old or young, must be guided by the Government to the post where they can contribute most to victory. We are conscious of the substantial efforts made throughout the war by the Canadian Government. We are anxious to assist them in making the vital decisions forced upon them by the events of the past few weeks. We do not believe that the people of Canada consider that their Government or its leader are in any way bound by undertakings given before the United States entered the war. This is no time for a referendum, The responsibility rests squarely on Parliament. The war will not wait. There is only one way to meet total war—by total effort—that is to mobilize all our manpower and material resources under a plan of universal compulsory selective service. Those who can serve best on the farms must work on the farms. Those who can serve best in the factories must work in the factories. And those best fitted to serve in the armed forces must be trained, equipped, and available for service in Canada or overseas anywhere at any time. That is the only way that our farms, our factories and our armed forces can wage total war, No half measures are consistent with national honor. If you agree with that opinion then it is your duty to tell your member NOW that you want him to insist upon the im- mediate adoption of such a plan. Tell him that you want the business of government brought into Parliament where it belongs. Tell him to inform Parliament, and through Parliament the whole of Canada, that the people of his riding advocate and will sup- port any measures, however drastic, which will assure the last ounce of effort of which they are capable. To Canada's Parliament, which meets in a few short days, Mr, Winston Churchill said this: "The enemy has asked for total war. Let us be sure that he gets it." Tell your member in the short time which still remains that you want to be sure that we do wage total war and that you want him to say so in your behalf on the floor of Parliament. There is an added reason why you must act immediately if you believe that democracy is government by the people. Last week, President Roosevelt told one hundred and thirty million people of the United States where their armed forces are going to fight in this war. "As our power and resources are fully mobilized, we shall carry the attack against the enemy, --we shall hit him and hit him again, wherever and whenever we can reach him." We are partners with the United States in this struggle. We signed a pact binding us to a common effort. National honor and the safety of our people demand that every man who wears the uniform of Canada be ready at all times to go overseas to hit the enemy wherever and whenever he can be reached, What a shameful travesty of justice it would be if we approved of unity of military command and failed to establish unity of sacrifice be- tween nations. Canada's honor is at stake. The Committee for Total War urges you to act without delay. Send your member a telegram, a letter or a postcard at once. This is your most important task. Your meml:er represents you no matter what your party may be. He is your voice in Parliament. When you put down this newspaper, act at once. If you agree with the opinion supported by this Committee, say so. COMMITTEE O. R. Alyea, Trenton. Miss Joan Arnoldl, Toronto. F. K. Ashbaugh, Tlllsonburg. A, Boggs, Concord. Col. E. A.

Vaughan, President, Can. Nat. Railways During the year 1941 the man- agement 'of the Canadian National Railways has had as its primary objective the continual improve- ment of railway services to meet .the needs of the ever increasing industrial output which has re- sulted from the turning over.. of Curadn's whale productive econ- omy from a peacetime to a war- - time basis. The upward trend of railway traffic . which became manifest lnunediately upon the outbreak of war has continued and resulted in 1941 in a physical volume of traf- fic higher than any previoutily transported' by • the system. Al- ready in this war period demands made upon railways transportation •• in Canada have exceeded those of the last war by sixty percent. The • dominant role whieh• railwnyll play • • in the essential transportation needs of this country has been . • thoroughly established, .' To sleet the. increase of traffic handled by the National Railways, which since the outbreak of war haus risen ninety-five percent, has called for careful planning to make the best use of railway equipment and facilities. It has been necessary to improve and •tpand railway facilities in a number of districts. It has also , been necessary to obtain addi- tional equipment and this expan- sion has• required special efforts on the ,hurt of all employees • tthroiigheut the systeim, War Effort First It has been the policy of the management in ell eases to place the interests of the war effort first and to maintain the capacity •' of the railway to meet these, es- sential demands, War transport- ation needs consist not; only in the 'movement of 'hundreds of thous- ands of military personnel and of vast quantities of munitions and • supplies, but also in the carriage of raw material and of semi-fin- islied products which are moved in all parts of the country, This war traffic had of necessity to be added .to the volume of normal business traffic, The measures which have, been taken to enable the Canadian National Railways to deal with this constantly in- creasing volume of traffic have been effective.' Traffic offered has been moved to destination ex- peditiously and the quality of service has been constantly main- tal,Te(i Financial Results The effect of the increased vol- . esme of traffic is reflected in the financial results of the . system, While the audited revenue and operating expense- figures for the month of December are not yet available,, estimated results for that month added to the known figures 'for' the first eleven • • ' months of the year indicate that 1941 'operating revenues will total • A30,000,000. The net revenue. for -1941, estimated at $66,000,- ' • aftei mcetinie all expenses including equipment depreciation will. be the largest in the system's history. Taxes and fixed charges including interest amount to $62,- 000,000 for 1941, therefore, it is expected- that operating revenues will yield a surplus over and above all operating expenses, taxes and interest. We are, how- ever, facing in 1942 many tnil- • lions of uncontrollable increased expenditure for wages 'and mater- ials, and there. has been no cor- s respondiaig increase in the price of our services for transporting passengers and goods. The capital improvements made during the year nearly all arose from the necessity of improving facilities. on various lines of the railway which have ,now become strategic routes for the handling of actual and prospective war traffic. This work consisted of improving yards, terminals, shops, •.nginehouses, the construction of additional passing tracks and sid- ings and the installation of 'sig- nals. Undelivered Orders Orders had been placed for various- types of equipment, in- cluding locomotives and freight cars, but conditions imposed by war priorities presented difficul- ties for the builders who thus were unable to complete these or- ders. However, during the year we received 10 locomotives and 1,136 cars, There are on order undeli\e•ed 70 locomotives and •,3,339 cars, ln, addition to furnishing t:-ans- portation service, the railway has assisted in Canada's war effort by snaking -available to the Govern- ment the services of special de- partments of the railway, and by furnishing .trained personnel to •special, Government r,ratches. The management is proud to report that nearly 4,000 employ- ees have been granter) leave of absence to. enlist for active Ser- vice In • t he navys the army and the a ir force.

Workmen remove lettering from side of French vessel taken over•hy the U. S, Navy and renamed Lafayette. Railways has directly participated in the mobilization of Canadian industry for war purposes. \Ve have constructed, under a finan- cial arrangement with the Gov- ernment, a building measuring fill feet by 516 feet with an area of over 21;3,600 square feet for the National Railways 1lunitions Limited and this plant has been in operation for some time, At that plant and elsewhere in car and locomotive shops part of +he company's working force, num- bering more than a thousand nen, has been actively engaged in tie manufacture of several types of munitions, including. gun car- riages, naval guns and gun mount- ings. At its ilrydock and ship- building yard the company has been and is yet constructing mine sweepers and these seine facili- ties are also being used in build- ing laigc cargo vessels for War- time Merchant Shipping Limited. Steamship Companies The steamship companies Which form it part of the Canadian Na- tional organization have also played their part in the Battle of the Atlantic and elsewhere, An additional wartime responsibility gladly accepted by the company was the management of the Can- adian Government Merchant Mar- ine which had been re-established and is operating Danish, French, Finnish, German and Italian ves- sels seized by the Canadian Gov- ernment, Canadian National Steamships craft have been trad- ing in distant waters as well as to ports closer to Canadian shores, so that in addition to our em- ployees who have enlisted in the fighting forces, a large number of our men are actively engaged in war work. Labor Relations A feature of the company's labour relations during the year was the st'lbilization of wages and salaries in accordance with the Order -in -Council issued by the Government. The majority of the organized labour groups repre- sented on the Canadian National Railways entered into agreements stabilizing wages at the pre-war baisis with provision for a cost of living bonus adjusted to the index of the cost of living. Subsequent- ly the voluntary basis agreed to in the transportation industry be- came a compulsory one applicable, generally speaking, to all Cana- dian industry. It is noteworthy that the railway industry pion- eered this development, which is one of the essential elements in a plan for preventing the evil ef- fects of inflation. Other Services Of other services operated by the Company the group of hotels records a satisfactory year, 'These hotels well serve the communities in which they are situated, All of thein have been busy; indeed, at times, some of the hotels have been, hard pressed to furnish ac- commodation for the number of guests offering. 'Phis would in- dicate that the hotels have been properly established to provide service for the travelling public.

The staff of employees now approaches 100,000 in number. Sales Of Wine Dip 5 Per Cent Profits Will Be Down Due to Heavier Costs Constructive progress was made in 1941 by the Ontario wine in- dustry, according to E. A. Thomas, president of. the Wine Producers' Association. • "Formation of the Wine Pro - (lacers' Association," lie states, "to which all companies licensed to make wine in Ontario belong, was a forward step 101 the twen- ty-three wineries in operation throughout the year. A number of the wineries made important improvements in plant and equip- ment. About four million gallons of wine was processed, There was a falling off in sales during 1941 due entirely to the increase in price necessitated by increased taxation, which amount- ed to 27 cents per gallon, The total tonnage of wines sold was less by approximately 5 per cent. The profits, before income tax was deducted, were generally maintained at close to the 19.10 levels, The net income will, of course, be lower clue to increased taxation. The increased cost of the in- ventories added during 1911, re- sulting from increased cost of ma- terials, has not yet materially af- fected profits, however, these in- creased costs will show up in lower operating profits in future yeaTrshe, 19.11 grape crop was of unusually fine quality, the sugar content being up by approximat- ely 20 per cent over the previous year. Grape growers of the Niagara Peninsula enjoyed an excellent market both in demand and price. There were about 16,000 acres of vineyards. The minimum price paid by the wineries was $50 per ton, an increase of $10 per ton over 1910. Total commercial re- turns to the grape growers was approximately $1,000,000, about $250,000 1110113 than 1940.

If you kl.ow any more (trop me n 11(113, lave you any idea of the size of your Canadian Army? The hest way to get the picture is to make a comparison, in terms with which we are all familiar, 'I'r!e Army employs nearly eight times the cntiee staff of the Can- aille t Pacific Rtlilwl,y.

Perhaps it is unusual, but the analogy is a good one, Let's carry it further. The Individual Citizen's Army ]s a big business run in a bust- ness-like \way. The set -tip is that of a Mtge industrial empire with a chairman of the board and di- rectors of a holding company which operates a group of affili- ated companies, each with its president, vice - presidents in charge of various operations, gen- eral managers, branch managers, purchasing and store -keeping or- gnni'l.11t10115, j(111io1' ex(('1111ver, foremen and skilled tradesmen.

Takes Six Months To Complete Ship Parts of Hull Aro Made Inland and Assembled At Shipyard Britain's shipbuilders aro win- ning the race with the L' -boats. Large steamers and motor - ships of 10,000 tons are now be- ing completed, front the laying of the keel to the final coat of paint, in just tinder six Months. Indeed, by making parts of the hull and so on in distant workshops in- land and assembling them 11t the shipyard, the six months have been ''educed to five and a half. Never before has Great Britain turned out ships at such a speed; and it is speed that has decided the peace -tinge controversy about whether the hulls of big mer- chant ships should be riveted or welded. Welding is not only quicker but it saves steel, so welding has won. ,More steel Ls being saved by the use of concrete for small craft, hundreds of ferro-con- creto barges have been built, re- leasing hundreds of skilled ship- builders front the barge build- ing yards to worn on ocean-going tonnage. '!'here they aro concentrating upon the well -tried standard "eco- nomy" types of vessels which many famous British shipbuild- er's had already evolved. The shipyards were prepared when war came for an expand- ing production. The Admiralty passed the word to thein for so many tankers, refrigerated cargo liners, coasters, deep-sea tramps, and standardization has tri- umphed. Nazi Air Power Cut 35 Percent Many Planes Lost In Middle East in Addition to Losses In Russia Aviation observers estimated recently that losses in the cam- paign against Russ,a have reduc- ed the German Air Force to about 65 per cent of its peak strength, They noted in this connection that there has not been 11 really big raid on Britain since the 11us- sian war began last June 22, "The German Air Force is lit- erally worn out," said a reliable commentator with excellent sourc- es of information, "''vile pilots are tired and there is a real short- age of plates in certain categor- ies. To all appeat'ancea the Ger- man Air Force is just about 35 per cent under what it was, for instance, lvheu it gave London its first heavy fire-bomb attack just a year ago."

EYESIGHT SPECIALIST 1 fi From The International On October 13, 14, 1-5 and 16, Huron County will play host to thousands of people as the International Plowing Match is staged; on a bite in Mullett 2b^°nship. The question may be asked, "Why should there be a plowing match dur- ing war—time?" It is a fair question deserving a fair answer. The Inter- national Plowing Match this year has a mammoth job to do. Not only will it be encouraging young men to plow, but it will also be the moans of dem- onstrating to the farm public the ways and means being adopted by all those interested In agriculture to cope with present conditone. Indications are thst the farm machinery demon- stration in 1942 will be the largest In the history of the match. Not only will the farm machinery companies be patronizing the Inter- national but the various government- al agencies will be making the best of the opportunity to show Ontario what they are doing for the farmer. There are also indications that the varlous breed) associations in the county, including the holstein and Ayr+khire clnh,, will sponsor educa- tional exhibi.s. The Yorkshire swine breeders have given Indications that they are also planning an exhibit. Some irUJ acres of land have been 'selected and approved by the execu- tive of the Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation. Incidentally, the Ontario Plowmen's Association regard the site as one of the finest they have ever bad. ,Situated In Hullett town- ship, with headquarters on the W. L. Whylte farm, the land) ig fertile, and very adaptable to the purposes of the plowing match. It has all been gen- erously donated for the duration of the plowing match without charge by the owners. Staging -a plowing match In Huron this year represents a great deal of work by men who for the most part are farmer and who have plenty of ordinary farm problems to worry them. At a time when Tabor is scarce they are undertaking the staging of the match, and each one of them is determined that he wilt de his ,share towards making the International this year one of the greatest in the history of the fostering organization, the Ov tarso Plowinen's Association. It is our purpose each week to ac- quaint you with various phases of the work in connection with the match, Introducing to you the various com- mittee chairmen and tell you of their dluties. They need help and they will welcome suggestions. If there is any infeem<ation you desire in connection with the plowing match, kindly write direct to J. C. Shearer, Clinton, Mr. Shearer, the agricultural repre- sentative for Huron county, who Is working at the present time on the wartime program as laid down. by the Ontario Minister of Agriculture, will act as secretary for the Enron plow- ing match committee. This commit- tee incorporates the North and South Huron plowing match committees as well as others who are helping with the great project.
