Winston Churchill re- cently told of the aid given the Rus- sians by Britain, 5,031. tanks, 6,778 airplanes, about $300,000,000 of raw materials, Some of this came from Canada, Canada has shipped large .quantities of munitions and supplies to Russia under the Dominion's mutual- aid program. No breakdown has been made of this contribution but goods shipped include food-stuffs, clothing, machine tools, railway equipment, strategic metals, military vehicles, guns, small arms, small arms ammuni- tion, medical supplies and comforts. Some of the shipments from Britain contained goods made in Canada. The Russians have carried on the struggle in noble fashion and Canada may well be proud of the assistance she has given them. . .Z11111..1 llllllllll I lllllll tut II llllll 1111111” llllll ;111111 I • 1NTERESTINfi CLIPS OF DISTRICT NEWS Heavy Demand For Cottages Present indications point to a record tourist season for Southampton.

Of the total number,, 64 are classified as as- sociational, including co-operative, racial and religious associations; 65 are occupational and have been organized by groups of industrial, government and educational employees, while 19 have been Permed by groups of rural residents and 15 by groups of urban community residents. Features of the 1943 operations in- cluded an increase of 8,973 in the number of members and of 3,661 in the number of borrowers.

This exceed- ing the quota hi the Sixth' Victory Lean campaign is the continuing of an unbroken record of successes in war activities here. The people who assist- ed in this very important drive are to be congratulated on this achievement. Since the war began Wingham has met its obligations every time no mat- ter what activity was undertaken. This is a, record of which the town can be justly proud as can the many other municipalities in this district. * * * DANGERS OF INFLATION GROWING We were eemmining a chart recently e issued by the government showing the comparative prices during the war of 3.914-1918 and those of to-day, another war period. In 1914 the price level on the chart is shown as 100, The rise in prices over the next six years was rapid. They rose steadily until the index in 1920 touched the 190 mark. The prices in 1939 are also at 100 but to-day, after four years of war, the index has not yet reached the 120 mark. The battle against inflation has been very successful to date. The government has waged a bitter battle to stop inflation so that there will not be the great depression after the war. We can take part in this battle against
