DOING GOOD WORK
So far as good fishing in our
-streams is concerned, the good old
•days may be back with us once again.
The reason for this can be attributed
to the co-operation of the Fish and
Game clubs with the department at
Toronto. Throughout this district re
cently several Fish and Game clubs
have been organized. These clubs
have been very active in stocking the
streams of this district. They have
;another activity to which they give
•great attention and one that is just as
important as stocking of streams, and
-that is carrying on an educational pro
gram for the conservation of the game
‘life in our woods, creeks and rivers.
The clubs of ithis district are co-oper-
■ating with each other in this work
and they are to be congratulated on
•the energetic manner in which they
are doing the job they have set for
•themselves. One thing that will assist j
them more than any other in their task
is the co-operation of the public in
general. If we all observe the game
and fish laws it will be a matter of a
very short time until all the streams
in the district will be a fisherman’s
paradise. Those who own property
along the streams and have co-oper
ated with these clubs deserve the
heartfelt thanks of the fishermen for
without this it would be impossible
to make a success of this venture.

WHAT TO DO
The withdrawal of British troops
from Southern Norway was a great
shock to many people who were of
the opinion that the Allies were doing
all right in that area. It is difficult
for one who is hot fully acquainted
with the situation to understand all
that transpires on a war front. This
does not, however, lessen the disap-.
fpointment. The Germans have Taken
great chances and appear to have been
very successful in their ruthless ways.
One could hardly expect them to bang
their heads up against a brick wall,
such as the MaginOit line is. If the
Germans are to win this war they then
of necessity must create new war
zones that will supply them with food,
other materials or strategic positions.
To meet this condition the Allies must
be prepared to face an expanding war.
This can only be accomplished by be-
Ing ready. In Canada we have a divi
sion in England and a second one,
only partly trained, at home. The air
force scheme is getting under way but
it would appear to us that now when
the war is not’going full steam ahead
is the time to be gathering our forces
and whipping them into shape so that
we can give our best efforts when itlie
time comes. It is expected that Can
ada will train many more than she is
at present. Would not now be a good
time to give the officers and N.C.O.’s
who will be needed in the near future
the training that would make them
tops in their respective "fields.

CANADA'S WAR ECONOMY
Canada enters another month of the
war well equipped to stand the econ
omic strain. In the coming fiscal year
it is expected that the war will cost
Canada around $500,000,000, Heavy
as -this burden will be, it amounts to
only about 12% of Canada’s national
income, estimated at $4,100,000,000.
Compare the figures for Great Britain
and Germany, Britain’s “war expend
iture now calls for about 29% of the
estimated national income. German
war expenditure is around 40% of the
estimated national income. This means
that unless Germany can increase her
national income, which is improbable,
she cannot largely increase her war
expenditure without making heavy in
roads on a standard of living already
below that of the Allied countries,
The volume of business in Canada was
up 20% for the first two months of
the year compared with last year, min
eral production is up 13%, operation
of manufacturing plants up 30%, ex
ports rose 26%, imports gained 69%.
Unemployment has declined 211%.
This shows that from an economic
standpoint Canada is in good shape
for her war effort.
