To Each His Share

Canada's war effort, at least for the first year of the conflict, is to cost this country approximately $350,000,000 or about a million dollars per day the Canadian people have been officially advised by the prime minister.

When reduced to its simplest terms—a cost of $35 a year for every man, woman and child, as has already been noted in the daily press— this is — no small item, and connotes a really substantial contribution for the aver- age individual. While some of it will come out of the pocket book in the current year in the form of cash, the balance will be expended as a debt to

be liquidated in the future.

This expenditure, however: by no means represents the entire cost of Canada's share in the war effort during the year. In addition to the official expenditure made by the government of the country, substantial sums are being and will be raised by various organizations, all more or less directly related to the work of making Canada’s effort more efficient and more effec~ tive and these represent an additional contribution for the winning of the war from the individual purse. ;

With the amount of money and credit available to the individual it stands to reason if the average Canadian is to be given an opportunity to make a maximum contribution to the war effort, other calls upon his purse must be curtailed as far as possible and this means, among other things, an urgent necessity for a reduction in the cost of government and particu- larly in the provincial and municipal spheres. It is going to entail sacri- fices, not only on the part of the individual, but also on the part of the provincial and municipal administrations of the country. Every dollar of cash or credit expended for provincial and municipal services that can be

saved, represents a dollar, in cash or credit, released for the objective of

* national preservation.

This point should not be overlooked, by the individual taxpayer, who will be well advised to curb, for the present, his desire for additional social services and to make his voice heard in a demand for the practice of rigid economies by the subservient administrations. By so doing he will be play- ing an important part in seeing to it that governmental costs which can be saved are not hamstringing his own ability to assist in the country’s major that of winning the war, and winning it as speedily as possible

Voluntary Duties

The contribution to be made by Canadians towards the cost of the war will be in two forms, levies made by the national government to provide the expense of arming, equipping, training. transporting and maintaining Canada's fighting forces and voluntary donations in money, goods, time and talent to provide for such adventitious aids as comforts, recreation and en- tertainment of these forces, equally necessary, if the morale and enthusiasm ot the men is to be kept at its highest and therefore, most effective pitch, In addition to that, it has already been intimated, .the people of the country will be called upon to supplement their voluntary efforts by contributions towards a government loan to be subscribed entirely within the confines of the country and to represent that portion of the national cost of the wer / financed on credit basis.

Insofafas the direct national levy tn the pocket books of the individual is concerned this, will undoubtedly be imposed inthe form of increased

_ taxes on income and commodities and it is the duty of the people of a

country who have unanimously declared their determination to do their part in abolishing the menace of Hitlerism to pay these imposts not only will-

‘ingly and cheerfully but gladly.

But, as has already might have Been inferred, the duty of the Canadian

Corn Syrup Very ‘Popalar

Authorities all over the country! recognize the value of corn syrup in the preparation of baby formulas. This is because corn syrup is rich in dextrose and maltose—a most desir- | able form of carbohydrate food, for. ‘the modification of milk. And there

is a further reason for urging the use of corn syrup in infant diets— | and in the diets of growing children and adults, too; because it is so| easily digestible, and provides

They will contribute as generously as their means allow to the Red Cross Society, the Salvation Army and other organizations providing assistance in various forms to Canadian boys in khaki or in naval and air force uniforms. who have little or no money to spare beyond the necessities of life after paying the national levies will make what contributions they can in gopds and services.

And this is as it should be. Let each contribute according to his or her means and assist, not only in winning this war but aid in bringing it to the speediest possible conclusion. Through parliament everybody agreed to participate in this war. It is, therefore, everybody's war and everybody's duty to wage it with intelligence, with the utmost vigor and -with all the resources available. .

LAZY COWS DON'T PAY

Dairy cows are machines for manu- facturing feed into butterfat. Good cows turn feed into a product that sels for more money than the feed would have brought on the market.

‘These facts are obvious and widely|"

known, says H. R. Searles, extension dairyman, University Farm; but some may be surprised to learn that the average dairy herd in the state pro- duces only 190 pounds of butterfat per cow and is not profitable and will not be profitable under. normal con- ditions.

This means that over half the dairymen of the state would receive more money if they used their feed in some other way rather than waste part of it by feeding it to poor, in- efficient cows, Mr. Searles has found.

‘A summary of last year’s records in the fifty-four cow testing associ- ations of the state shows that herds averaging 300 pounds of butterfat used only $14 more feed per cow than herds averaging 200 pounds. means that good cows used $14 worth of feed to manufacture 100 pounds or $380 worth of butterfat. The herds averaging 300 pounds or more rolled out butterfat at a feed cost of 14¢ per pound. The herds under 200 dbs. used twenty cents per round to do the job. One herd averaged only 124 pounds of ‘butterfat. Each pound cost | the owner 35.4 cents and sold for 80 cents.

The typical ten-cow herd averag- ing over 800 round of butterfat re- tyureod $562 ahove feed ers. while those below 200 pounds ‘eft their owners only $24 to nay fov labor, housing, taxes, interest. etc.

How can a farmer know whether | his herd and the individual cows in| the herd are vaying their way? Ac-! curate ‘butterfat and feed records for each cow are the only sure way,} says Mr. Searles. The community cow testing ‘association is the an- swer.

There are now fifty-four associa- tions in the state. ‘Most of these start their testing. year. in the. fall. |

To your restless question “When can I help win this wat?” —the answer is NOW. .

On Monday next, the Government of the Dominion of Canada will offer the First , ; War Loan. The purpose of this Loan is to provide money to carty on the war, not only . . on the battlefields, but all along the Economic Front.

Let us explain what the Economic Front means. It means a war in which the entire natural, industrial and financial resources of the country ate used to defeat thé enemy. It means a “total war” in which every citizen takes a part, in which his personal resources must support those of the Nation.

In such a war, one of the chief weapons is money. Where is this money to come from? There is only one answer. It must come — and come voluntarily — from the savings of our people. The difference between us and the Germans is that we, of our own free will, lend our money — it is not ruthlessly taken away.

This is your opportunity to do your part in this struggle against Hitlerism. the world are upon you, upon Canada, one of the strongest members of the British Commonwealth. Canadians must show that their strength, their courage and their resources are all in this fight against “brute force, bad faith, injustice, aggression and persecution.”

The news of the success of this Loan must go ringing round the world. .

Be ready to buy War Loan Bonds. They will have the proven safety and salability of Dominion of Canada obligations. Any investment Dealer or Chartered Bank will take your subscription. The quicker the economic war is won, the greater will be the saving of human lives . . . the swifter the collapse of the enemy. ;

WINTER HAS RICH GIFTS

| (from the Halifax Herald). | |

Winter is a season well worth hav- ing. It is the proper background of spring and summer; the needful pre- liminary to the thrill of appreciation when the sun begins to shine. Lands that have no winter have no spring. They can never know the joy and wonder of that happy time.

Winter also reminds us that it is not good for life to be played upon iby..one set of forces.

‘Without winter our national charac- ter would not be what it is, Cold hardens and challenges. Langor and listlessness to go at a touch of frost. acting like a tonic.

(And, too, against the background of winter some blessings shine with added lustre. Winter offers a chance to cultivate the home and the home spirit. The closed door and the lighted

lamp offord priceless oportunities for enriching the soul.

‘Winter also affords a chance to ex- press the kindly charities of ife. It stir our sympathies and compassions. is the bitter days that stimulate and stir our sympathies and compassion.

. Subjugated But Not Subdued

After the last shot in this war has been fired and when the peace set- tlement terms are being drafted one of the first duties of the Allies will be to see to it that full territorial rights and civil liberties are restored to the gallant and freedom-loving Czecho-Slovakians.

The statement does not mean that the claims. of the Poles and possibly the Finns to similar rights should be over-looked. Doubtless their interests will be properly cared for but, as the first free and democratic peoples to sustain the shotk of Hitlerian aggression and brutality, Czecho-Slovakian rights, should be given priority.

Not only were the Czecho-Slovaks the first of the small democratic nations to be brutally over-run and trampled in the mire by German ma- chinations: but, since their subjugation by der fuehrer and his satellites, they have been subjected to untold brutality and ruthlessness by the Ges- tapo and the military authorities.

As has been stated before in'this column terms of settlement must not be inspired by the spirit of revenge or greed. No reparations or compensa- tion can be provided that will restore life to those who have been shot down in cold blood, or health and vitality to those who have suffered torture, neg- lect and starvation at the hands of the minions of the Gestapo or the cus- todians of internment camps, but those Czecho-Slovaks who have, by the end of the war, escaped death, injury and broken health, should have the

right to live their own lives in their own country, unfettered by the domina- _tion of an alien regime.

Deliberate Provocation It is unfortunate and a so-called protectorate established, Czecho-Slovaks should not have

Dominion’s Fighting Squadron

At 22 Canadian airports, provi- sional pilot officers of the R.C.A.F. are receiving elementary training | which lead to their wings and a | place in a fighting squadron of the But- the re- _cruit's: first: task is ‘bereft of all |glamor-"he must learn to swing a | propellor without losing an arm or |a leg.

——— for his initial instruction at | ja flying club selected by the de- |fence department, he keeps both | feet firmly on the ground for long (hours as he stands in front of a training plane and whirls the propel- lor blade with his hands to kick over the aerial equivalent to cranking a car.

Then he climbs into the rear cock- pit of the machine for his first in- structional trip aloft. Ten minutes after he is in the air, the instructor yells back through the ear phones, “You have control’ and the student handles the stick.

The aspiring pilot must fly the plane straight and level. The idea is to keep the nose on the horizon and the wings level and most of them find out how elusive the horizon can be and how quickly a wing acquires a dangerous tilt. :

A youth who has just been through the elementary stage described for The Canadian Press what gencrally | happens the next time up wher the| officer learns banks and_ turns.

“From the ground these turns, | when ‘properly. executed, appear | graceful.and easy,” he said. ‘But in)

but there is every reason to believe that they were subjected, and still are being subjected, to indignities, greater than the flesh and blood and spirit of a proud people can be expected to bear without revolt. ;

with effectiveness for the Allies, for their determination and spirit has nec-

essitated the retention of a large military force in Czecho-Slovakia, which | would otherwise swell the German military machine on the western front. |

The same may be said of the situation in that part of Poland under the heel ‘of Hitler.

On the other hand the Czecho-Slovak who participated in these uprisings must have realized that they could only be hopeless insofar as they them- selves were concerned, in. view of the tremendous odds against them; that, at the best, it could only mean self-sacrifice and slaughter; but, it must be remembered that they were provoked and tormented to an extreme. de- gree, and there is evidence to show that this was done deliberately. .

Reports state that while Baron Von Neurath is nominally in charge of administration for the Germans in Czecho-Slovakia, the rea) ruler is Frank, who is described as ‘‘one of the worst of the upstart. Nazi bullies of the horse-whipping type.” Frank, it is said, has not only given the Gestapo a free hand but has done and is doing everything he can to excite ill feeling and promote disorder. .

s s * * What We Fight For

Frank, according to the London Times, “is by origin a Sudeten German.

Rancorous ahd revengeful, like others of the Sudetens who adopted Nazism,

he is determined to avenge upon the Czechs 20 years of political subordina- | tion in the Republic between 1918 and 1938. His mind is set upon turning |

the Czechs out of the region which they have occupied for centuries an then incorporating it in Greater Germany.”

In the light of this information the restlessness of the Czecho-Slo- |

vakians and their inability to settle down even temporarily under the rule of their German masters and the difficulty, ifnpt impossibility of putting

up with the treatment that is being meted out to them is nat hard to under- |

stand. In fact, it would be surprising, if a spirited people would stand such provocation without some show of resentment and resistance. As the London Times says: ‘The Czechs stand now, as they have stood before in history, for national and moral values against a race of bullies who have tried to expel spiritual life even from their own national system. They stand, and they suffer, for freedom of speech and freedom of combination, and for the right of a small country to live in security and in- dependence. These are liberties which Great Britain and France and all the nations of the British Commonwealth (including Canada) are de-

' termined to see re-establised in Europe, and which lend to their campaign

the character of a crusade.”

Emilie Dionne Writes Her Name To

j Settle Its Spelling

Emilie or Emeli¢? That was the question. ;

The name was. being spelled differ- ently. in advertisements featuring the Dionne quintuplets. The parish records in the little Roman Catholic Church at Corbeil spell it “Emelie”. But the original ‘birth certificate makes it “Emilie”: ,

An advertisement executive from New York, who was at North Bay to sign a contract with the quints, demanded a ruling on the correct spelling. All the adult sources’ and records were confusing, So Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, physician ard guardian to the quints, a retinue of aides, took the matter to the nursery.

There, all gathered around while the young lady in question was sum- moned, supplied with a pencil and paper, and told to write her name, She wrote in block letters: “EMILIBE”.

That made it official, Every one was satisfied.

Pan-American Airways has an- nounced that the South Pacific ser- vice will continue in spite of the war, and it is proceeding to double the size of its terminal Auckland.

Although the hostilities may cause some alteration in the regular func- tioning of the trans-Tasman service, the Ao-tea-roa is actively continu- ing her pioneering work in the South Pacific. Already a successful sur- vey flight has been made from Auck- land to Suva over the southern part of a proposed route for a British air service across the Pacific to Canada.

With the war in Europe interfer- ing with existing air routes, the im- the projected Pacific route has increased by providing an means of rapid com-' munjcation with Australia; -New Zealand and the East. The present hostilities may well hasten inaugura- tion of the service.

Work Of Mine Sweepers Story Indicates The Hazardous Na- . ture Of The Duties Performed

I spent most of last week in a British minesweeper, seeing how the tackles. this unspectacular, though vital, job of work... .

A few weeks ago, a ship in this flotilla had just’ finished a clearing sweep. She was the last ship in the line and the others were waiting for her to get her sweeps in. As the sweeps came in a mine was found to be foul in the kite. Every known manoeuvre to clear it was tried with- out success. eee :

Finally, there was nothing for it but to cut the kite adrift. With the mine in it the kite ran down the sweep wire and hit the bottom where the mine exploded uncomfortably close to the ship. Not content with

‘that, it touched off three other mines

in quick succession which were ap- parently also foul in the sweep. But the climax came when the captain was making up his mind whether or nat to put about and re- cover his drifting float. Suddenly, without any warning, the float itself was blown up bya fifth mine. Where- upon, the senior officer of the flotilla solemnly signalled: “I think you'd better come home now,.—By Bern- ard Stubbs in the Listener (London).

The Common Canary Is Just Jitterbug At Heart States Bird Fancier

“The domestic American songbird, one of the most common types of canaries iri the United States, from whose throat comes a most mellj-' fluous tone is just: a jitterbug at heart. ‘These canaries,” said John W. Prescott, president of the West- ern New York Fanciers’ Association, “will sing when ‘they hear piano music or a band, and there is a most pronounced reaction when -they hear popular music, especially swing.”
