The Northern Miner sums these up as follows: Something to Show for Imme Expenditures Now Being Made When the war end's Canada will emerge with a number of industries and other national assets' which it never possessed before: Amongst these new assets will be: A brand new magnesium industry, based on an unique and economical process. A tin producing plant. A production of mercury far in excess of national requirements. A number of tungsten producers, either as by-product recovery plants or straight tungsten developments. A greatly increased capacity for A greatly incre nickel‘ and copper. An enhanced production of zinc, mainly from concentrates which at present ale being shipped abroad, but which might be utilized in the mooted» Eastern zinc refinery. A vastly expanded output of brass products from new plants built for war purposes. A new iron ore industry, with the development of the Steep Rock and Josephine deposits, probably others also. A new manganese industry, from éeposits in New Brunswick, Ontario and: British Columbia. Possibly an enlarged steel indus- try in the East.

She saw a picture of Christ in the room, and she asked the nurse to take it down. “I have no author- ity to take it down," said the nurse. “Then see your superiors and. have it removed as soon as possible," said the woman. The superiors in the hospital said, likewise, that they had no authority to take it down. “My husband is an army officer and when he comes in a. few days, I will get him to see to it that it is taken down." The few days passed and] the husband arrived. The German wo- man told her husband to have. the picture taken down. He started to interview one of the authorities, and said. “My wife and I do not want our boy (both were hoping the new arrival would be a boy) ever to look upon the picture of that Jew!” And' even while 'he was still speaking, word arrived that a boy had just been born to the parents â€"â€" but, he was born blindâ€"The Chosen People. Another thing about a backyard vacation is that you don't have such a hard time finding a fourth at bridge. Would Never See It Immense And We Grouse About The High Cost Of Living People hereabouts who are contin- uously grousin‘g about the present prices of eggs, butter, meats and other necessities of life, should- thank their lucky stars they do not'resid'e in wartorn Chungking. / The food situation is rapidly de- veloping into a serious one for whites residing in Chiang Kaiâ€"Shvek’s capital as far as food, is concerned, and missionaries are hard-put to meet the cost of the simplest food- stuffs. The following figures are said to be valid and come from the Foreign Mission Board of the United Church of Canada through the kind offices of the Rev. Dr. James Semple. Oneâ€"pound loaf of bread, 50 cents Canadian. Water, $2.00 per road. Butter $10 a pound- (US. money) One sweet potato $1.00. Coolie hire, $300 a month. Pork $8.00 a pound.. Salt, $3.10 a pound. Sugar $6.40 a pound. Fish, for 4 people, $24. Material to make small batch of cookies, $30.00. Postage for two thin sheets of paper, airmail and duly registered, $252.40. The gall-ant people of Chung-king are taking these hardships in their stride without whimper or complaint. It is an exigency of war and is be- ing met with the fortitude and char- acteristic bravery of our allies in the east. And there are people here who howl to high heaven when they pay 12 cents for what was recently a 10-cent package of cigarettes.â€" Ontario Inte-lligencer. In the past we’ve been accustom- ed, you and I, to considering econ- omy almost entirely in terms of our own personal benefaction. It’s been every man for himself and the devil take the hind‘most. Even now that we‘re face to face with the fact that final victory in this war will depend, to a large extent, upon our personal saving we still find' it diffi- cult to take a long view. of this economy business. We must learn to think collectively to visualize our own small bit multiplied by a few hundred‘ thousand. Then it begins to take on some significance. For instance, take a yard of string .You usually throw it away with the garbage but you’ve begun to think collectively so you picture 9 million pieces of string, each a yard long; N'ine million is the approximate num~ ber of people 'in Canada over the age of 10' years. If each of these individuals was to save one piece of string three feet Ion-g we wouldI have enough to stretch across the breadth of the Dominion almost twice. And if they did that every week, inside of a year there would be enough to more than go around' the whole world: Think of it! Think of the hemp, jute and cot- ton twine Canada imports annually to supply us with strings and cord. In 1940 the Cordage, scope and Twine Industry recorded an import of some. $67,000 worth of cotton cords and twine, binder twine to the value of $997,000 and’ $3,519,000 worth of sisal fibre. Each piece of string saved' and roe-used means that so much less needs to be manufactured, and' so much less needs to be im- ported, leaving room and money for so much more of what it takes to .win wars Let’s make this an all- out war effort, with no strings at- tached!
