OTTAWA REPORTS
That Activities of Co-operative
Associations Are. Increasing
In All Parts Of Canada
Nearly half a million 'farmers are
members of co-operative associa-
tions in Canada, These associa-
tions are now doing more than a
quarter of a million dollars' worth
of business annually, according to
Eichuinion Government figures.
To an increasing extent a farmer
can deliver his livestock to a live-
stock shipping association, milk to
a cooperative dairy, and eggs and
poultry to a poultry cooperative.
He can purchase his household
necessities and other farm items
through a cooperative store, his
tractor fuel an dgasoline from a
cooperative oil station, and his farm
machinery from a farm implement
association,

Since the outbreak of war the
Credit Unions of Quebec have ex-
'perienced perhaps the greatest ex
pension among the various types
of cooperations which prevail in
various parts of the Dominion
From some 1200 in 1930, these have
grown to somewhere around 1800.
Wartime regulations forbidding
opening of new business places or
expansion of those already estab-
lished have been a serious check on
cooperatives, but taking over of
privately owned stores has substan-
tially increased their numbers, The
trend in this directions has been
greatest in Western Canada, it is
reported. In the Maritimes, while
expansion is curtailed, interest in
study clubs has been maintained,
and it is anticipated pared that with the
lifting of restriction- the coopera-
th•e movement will go ahead rapid-
ly in all parts of the country.

About five auflli to bushels of
corn is used annually by the starch
industry in Canada. Since the out-
break of war large quantities of
Canadian -grown corn have replaced
that formerly imported. The starch
companies have found Canadian
corn of good quality quite suitable
for their purpose, says F. Dint -
mock, Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa. Good quality corn, he
points out, means that it is well
matured, naturally dried, high ni
starch and low in moisture. With
this corn properly cribbed, Mr.
Dinunock feels there should be no
handicap in supplying the entire
requirements of the starch industry
with. Canadian corn both now and
after the war.

Russia's ° Invasion Of , Rumania
Is Beginning of Drive on Balkans
Two years and nine months ago
at dawn on June 22,1941, the dive
heathers a nd the armored columns
ripped arrogantly into the Prussian
frontier divisions; the new Napol-
eon had set out upon a conquest
which was to be more colossal -as
it has been infinitely more bar-
barous -shalt any which the ac-
tual Napoleon had ever attempted,
asserts the New York Herald Tri -
butte. There was no doubt about
the arrogance; Hitler announced
it on the sante clay:
"German people! At this moment
a march is taking place that, as
regards extent, compares with the
greatest the world hitherto has
seem tinted with their Finnish
comrades, the fighters of the vic-
tory at Narvik are standing in the
Northern Arctic. German divisions
commanded by the conqueror of
Norway, in co-operation with the
heroes of Finnish freedom under
their marshal, are protecting Fin-
nish soil. Formations of the Ger-
man Eastern front extend from
East Prussia to the Carpathians,
• German and Rumanian soldiers arc
united under Chief of State An-
tonescu front the banks of the
Pruni along the lower reaches of
the Danube to the shores of the
Black Sea. The task of this front,
therefore, no longer is the protec-
tion of single countries but the
safeguarding of Europe and there-
by the salvation of all. I therefore
decided today again to lay the fate
and future of the German Reich
and our people in the Bands of our
soldiers."
That enormous advance upas a
front reaching front far above the
Arctic Circle to the mouths of the
Danube, plunged forward; it was
to tear lunge wounds in the body
of Soviet Russia, slaughter tears
attcl hundreds oi thousands of its
innocent people. rob, blow, enslave
and destroy and in so doing waste
a generation of Germany's own
manhood upon the endless Russian
plains. But it was not to succeed,
Red Army In Rumania
The Red armies, fighting their
way hack across eight hundred or
trine hundred blond' utiles, from
the Volga and the deep Caucasus,
have surged across the old Prut
River bo unduly along a 102 -utile
front and have penetrated dry Ru-
manian territory for a distance Of
twelve miles. After nearly thirty-
three agonizing months of battle
to free its own soil from the in-
s»der, Russia is now staging an in-
vasion of its own, says the New
Ynrlt Times. For the first time

Balkan Campaign
Frniu a militarystandpoint the

a drive into the Balkans which, if

NAZiS' LAST DITCH?
The photo above, just received from neutral sources, shows Nazi
soldiers walking along bed of 20 -foot deep anti-tank ditch, but-
tressed by wall of reinforced concrete, said by Germans to be part
of Hitler's "Atlantic Wall' defenses against invasion.
with a drive front the western
Balkans, this drive could well un-
hinge the whole German Balkan-
flank liberate Greece and Yugo
slavia, drive Rumania and Bul-
garia out of the war and deprive
Germany of whatever aid in man-
power and materials she is still
able to extract from them. Mar-
shal Tito's reported mote into Ser-
bia might well be a preliminary to
an attempt to invade Rumania from
the rear. If Tito and Mikhailovitch
could be brought together to fight
the common enemy instead of fight-
ing each other they would represent
a formidable military factor. But
since a political solution of Yugo-
slaia's internal difficulties has pro-
ved impossible and since Allied aid
in the Balkans is limited by the
strategy agreed upon at Teheran,
the main burden of the Balkan
campaign will have to be borate ,by.
Russia,
Political Offensive
For that reason the Russian in-
vasion of the Balkans represents
not merely a military but also a
political offensive of great import-
ance. More than ever the nations
of Europe in general and those of
the Balkans in particular are scan-
ning the political horizon to learn
what slogans the invading Russian
armies carry on their banners. In
these circumstances it was an act of
highest statesmanship when Mr.
Alolotoff announced to tltc world
that the Soviet Government does not
pursue the aim of acquiring Ru-
manian territory (that is, beyond
Bessarabia, which Russia regards as
its own) and that it does not pro-
pose to alter the existing social
structure of Rumania. This state-
ment, which acquires added validity
from Russia's continued peace ne-
gotiations with Irinlaud an the basis
of improving terms, is a pledge
which begins to define the limits
of Russian aspirations and may be
accepted as given in the spirit of
the Atlantic Charter, tlte Anglo -
Russian Alliance and the Moscow
and Teheran Declarations, It does
not solve tate other Russian border
question nor does it exclude a later
Russian demand for a "friendly"
Rumanian Government after the
war, but as far as it goes it helps
to clarify Russian intentions and
Allied policy in the Balkans, In
the words of Secretary Ilull, it
should also help the Rumanians to
realize that "their owtt ultimate in-
terests require that German forces
be driven front their country."
That applies to all countries under
the German lied, whether satel-
lites nr'an

Colored Eggs
Gift Of Rabbit
On Easter Eve
i'1te giving of !;as- ter eggs is one
of our earliest surviving customs
In the time of Edward I we read
of four hundred eggs being
bought for the Court, They
were to be boiled, stained and
covered with gold leaf, and alter
being duh consecrated in church,
were distributed to members of
the Royal Ilousenold, In those
days all the children in the land
used to lie given eggs at Easter,
not to eat but to play with. One
way to ornament them was to write
on the warm eggs with a tallow
candle and then put tltent in conte
dye and boil them hard, Or you
could boil thein in the dye first
and then scrape off the color to
form a light pattern on the colored
ground, On Easter day then, the
children would sally forth with
their pretty eggs.nlut they returned
only with broken shells, For the
thing to do was to challenge one'a
friends to an egg fight, Iigg would
be hurled at egg until there would
be little left of theme save the
broken pieces which were claimed
by the victors,
.From time itit,uentoritl eggs have
been used to represent the new
birth of the springtime. An old
legend relates that colored eggs
are the gift of the rabbit on Easter
,Eve, and that is Why the bunny is
one of the most Conspicuous of
