Our FoodSupply (By John Atkins, Farmer -Journalist) No. 1 -FREE .FOOD PIERIOD ENDS Every fourth mouthful of food eat- en in Canadian towns and cities has been donated to those who ate it by the farmers who =grew it, for almost twenty years. ' Vast quantities of food, which should have gone to feed the people of Europe, had depressed prices and enabled urban families to feed them- selves at less than cost. .This sur- plus -food piled up in Canada and other food -producing countries be- cause Hitler had decided that Edrope must quit peaceful trading and pre- pare for war. While urban Canadians were able to. buy their food at less than cost they were indifferent to what was .happen- ing to rural Canadians. Although they should have realized that. their own wellabeing and security depended upon a sound Canadian agriculture, they were quite content to let the farmers do all the worrying. Unfair conditions, against w'h'ich urban peo- ple rebel and strike, made a gigantic sweatshop of the agricultural indus- try. During this prolonged agricultural depression all Canada -suffered, but urban people suffered much lest' than farm people. For the ten years fol- lowing 1930 the one-third of Canada's people who live on farms received less than one-tenth o+f the total\ in- come of all Canadians. Farm people could not take proper care of them- selves nor. of their plant and equip- ment. When the war broke 'out far- mers as a class had not the health and strength nor the capital that they needed to early on and produce all the food that we now requite. Now.. the, farm problem, our food -supply problem, has caught up with Canadians and we all must face it:, Our surpluses of food melted away as more and more food was required by Great Britain;:,:icy our flies, bys our forces; by our own people for harder. ,work, and by the hungry in other lands. Our wheat surplus, which seemed to be a dead weight oil our economy-, is now a live source of ccsm.fort when ;we are being asked to go easy on the'use of poll and cheese and other foods that Great Britain needs. Ali good Canadians will glad• ly change their diet for the sake of those who need these foods. It is a little more difficult to make ourselves see, the necessity of paying more for our food to ensure -the 'production • of it. After yea'r's of getting one-quarter of our food free it is hard to give up the idea that we can continue to live at the expense of farmers. If we are fair and reasonable, as most of us a:e, we°«'ill see that we are insuring our own food supply by giving the food grower a square deal. If we re- fuse to see the wisdom and justice of paying farmers at least the cost of production, the average farmer will not be able to grow the food we need. Canada's farmers have filled every British food quota since the war be- gan. They might have produced en- ough to supply fully Canada's domes- tic needs as well if their advice had been taken in,; the first place. But OA is another story. The simple hard fact that underlies our whole food supply is that- farmers cannot grow food for less than it costs them to grow it. Prices that will enable the average fa.im family to carry on, and enough help 'to grow the food, are the twin solutions of our food supply problem, our farm problem, for the duration of the war.

THE PARACHUTISTS In these swiftly moving days it is almost impossible to pick up your newspaper without running across some comments praising the latest achievements of those gallant fight- ers--bhe men vwlth wings. The untold dangers they face •daily .as a matter of course are beyond the limited bounds of our comprehension. At one time or another during the course of their dangerous careers, most of these heroes have has some rather harrowing experiences, in which their ver-edives were hanging in the balance. Wine such experience, breath -taking to onlookers, but which the pilots themselves\take quite mat- ter-of-factly is "bailing out." In those frightful moments of sailing through space they trust their all to a few silken threads and we wonder at their nonchalance. However, their faith is well placed for the parachutes of today have been developed to the point where there is •. practically no danger of failure. Had this been the case in the last war, scores of men could have been spared; when their planes were shot down out of control. New,_and,greater importance is be- ing'"attached to then manufacture of parachutes today. .In Canada the new Empire air training scheme has brought this industry to ,the fore in 1.

A group of college students enter- ed theid classroom one morning to find a hat on the front desk as mute evidence of the possible presence o' a mentor.' After overstaying the cus- tomary ten minutes, the group agreed that the hat might have bean left the evening before; so they departed- .. o.. to meet the remonstrating in- structor coming up the stairs. "When my hat is on my desk," he said, "I want you to consider mo present." The following morning when the professor arrived to take the roll, he found a hat on every seat --bet not a student there!

Vlrs't pf all each 'cbute consists of six prinpl- pal parts; Canopy, shroud Iinctsr Don. tanner, harness, rip cord and pilot chute. The proces0 :briefly is as fol- lows: The canopy is made of silk having a tensile strength of forty pounds per inch of width. It ie formed by join- ing gores -.cut in four different sizes into a panel, and it'takes twenty4four such panels tomake a eomplete can, opy. These are thoroughly insllected for the slightest imperfection. The shroud line's are formed by an unbroken 680 foot skein of silk cord doubled to make the •twenty-four lines in a twenty-four foot parachute. These lines are also tested for "flaws and subjected to a tension of 450 pounds. The shroud lines are sewn securely to the canopy and a final inspection is made before the assembly of the parachute. The containers are made from heavy brown canvas, reinforced with were frames. Flaps, pockets, ,hooks and fasteners are attached by special machines. The holiness consists of a number of linen . webbing straps, sewn together with linen thread. To the harness are attached the shroud lines, and here the webbing is tested to 4,500 pounds. The pilot chute is attached to the apex of the canopy, and helps to pull the chute away from' the wearer when the rip cord is pulled. The rip cord }r; comprises a. steel ging about 5 #ntjhea in width, and a jerk Which a child can exert is all that is necessary to open the chute, The final operation is packing the chute, and this requires special trainr- ing and infinite care. It takes about half an hour to fold one chute. Formerly the silk used in,parachute fabrication was imported. Now, how- ever, orders are being 'placed with Canadian firms. Experiments are be- ing conducted with nylon fabrics, which may perhaps eventually replace the silk in the canopy. A new type of cotton yarn with bonded fibres has been developed and is being used suc- cessfully in parachute harness. It is understood this development will free the National Defence program from its dependence on flax. Parachutes are now being produc- ed 'by Canadian plants and with the exception of housings and a few small fittings, all materials for the • manu- facture are made right here in Can- ada. t,4 'Captain Lexi 1:114eY: and ,Carol AMR : th ve.' rb _ Nanaimo, WC:, and be• ban ing his embarkation leave ,50.
