THE GAZETTE, OLDS, ALBERTA WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD Canadian mines worked overtime in 1940—and the result was @ new all-time high in mineral production. A new newspaper—‘‘the only inde- pendent German newspaper publish- ed in-Europe’—is-being- published _by anti-Nazi Germans living in London. European industrialists and others admitted to Canada under spécial regulation in 1939-40 numbered 69 and had $4,200,000 capital. Officials of the “Wings for Britain” fund announced receipt. of $35,000 from the Searle Grain Company Limited, Winnipeg, for the purchase of a fully-equipped Spitfire. Canada, which had fewer than 5,000 airmen at the outset of the war, now has more than 40,000, Sir Herbert Ames of Montreal said in an address at Boston. Authorities notified residents to prepare to evacuate “areas where it Sounds Fantastic Now Duke Of Wellington Thought Canada Needed Defending Against United States On this day of 1819 the famous Duke of Wellington submitted a re- port on the defence of Canada. The war of 1812-14 was still fresh in the public mind, Canada was thought to need protection against the neighbor nation which has since been such a good friend. The Duke wanted Kingston heavily fortified and the capital of the prov- ince removed from York to Kingston; or if Kingston was considered too far from the centre of the province, the Trent river or between the head of the Trent and the head of the Hollands If York (Toronto) was to re- main the capital “it must be forti- with his superior naval strength on Lake Ontario would take it “as often as it then to some point up river. fied;” otherwise the ‘“‘enemy” may suit him.” The Rideau and Trent canals were Did Not Scare Turkey Nazi Film Showing Atrocities Failed To Make Any Impression While the conferences between the Turkish and the British representa- tives were in progress the Germans were also telling their story in An- kara and spreading their own version of the choice that lies before Turkey. This effort reached its climax, ap- propriately enough,—in—a darkened} room on Wednesday night, when a group of Turkish officials witnessed a private showing of a motion-pic- ture film. Their host on this occasion was the German Ambassador to Tur- key, that fifth-rate Talleyrand, that runner of dirty errands, Franz von Papen. And the film itself? A quarter of a century ago the Germans of 4@ braver generation took pains to deny the “atrocity stories” that were told of the conduct of their troops in Bel- gium and France. -No German of that day bragged about those that unhappily could not be denied. To- day the Nazis believe such’ an atti- BODICE NOVELTY IN SHIRT- Shipyards For Britain One United States Company Has Orders For Thirty Vessels The city of Richmond, California, has been chosen for the site of the new $8,000,000 shipyard which Bri- tain has decided to have constructed to build ships in the United States. Engineers and draftsmen are at) work not only on the plans for the -shipyard itself but—also-on—the—-ves- sels. Within four months the entire plan will be completed and 7,500 men will be at work. The new Todd-California Shipbuild- ing Company which was awarded the contract by the British govern- ment is a merger of the old Todd Shipbuilding Company and the “Six Services, Inc.” outgrowth of the “Six Companies” which built Boulder Dam and other. big construction jobs in the. west. The company has orders from the British government to build 30 ships of 9,300 tons each. All are expected to be in service within 18 months. ° LEAGUE presents TOPICS CANADA. of ae VITAL _ INTEREST | PNEUMONIA BELTS The title does not indicate a new remedy for pneumonia. It has been adopted by the Toronto Star to point © out that pneumonia in North Am- erica is confined chiefly to two clear-cut areas which are called called pneumonia belts.

Room For Sheep Indust?y Wool Of Highest Quality Can Be Produced In Prairie Provinces There is one branch of agricultural production in Canada which might well be expanded. ‘This is the sheep industry and the production of wool. A release recently issued, by the Do- minion . bureau. of statistics states that the total wool production in Canada in 1940 -was 18,127,000 pounds, while the consumption . in that year: amounted to 101,616,000 pounds. It would thus appear that in 1940. Canada was required to im- port something like 83,489,000 pounds of wool. There seems to -be no effective reason why Canada should not pro- duce all her wool requirements. Authorities on the subject maintain that wool of the highest quality can be produced in the Dominion .and particularly@in the prairie provinces. It would seem, however, that there is: a deficiency in machinery and manufacturing establishments re- quired to process the wool; also ex- erienced labor is not available. Can- ada has shown during the past year and.a half that she can, under pres- sure, develop war industries. Surely the country can set up manufactur- ing establishments to process wool. -Hundreds of millions of bushels of wheat are cluttering up the ele- vator systems of the country. West- ern Canada is faced with the prob- lem of taking millions of acres of wheat land out of production. The extension of the sheep industry offers an opportunity:for further diversifica- tion in prairie agriculture.

Hints : Nursery stock is the general name given to hardy perennial shrubs, .|flowers, vines, trees and roses ‘that ere grown for one. to three years from seed in'a nursery before being sold to gardeners and fruit growers, Like seed, it is important to secure such stock from a reputable source and one that. is familiar and caters to Canadian conditions. Good stock is pliable, green and shows plenty of live buds. Roots are moist and well wrapped to exclude the air. Nursery stock should be planted as soon as the soil is fit to work and if purchased before this time, or if inconvenient to plant in permenent positions, roots should be temporarily covered with. moist earth or plants should be stored in a cool, dark cel-| lar ‘and roots kept moist. First Vegetables ‘Among the earliest vegetables to be sown in Canadian gardens will be peas, leaf lettuce, radish and spin- ach: : These may be planted as soon as the ground is fit to work. All of the seeds should be sown at least three times, at intervals of ten days, so that there will be a succession of vegetables. The second sowing will be carrots, beets, onions, potatoes, etc., which can stand a little frost, and then beans, corn and tomatoes, cabbage and cauliflower plants, mel- ons, cucumbers, etc., which are ten- der.

The Can- ucks received bronze medals for their showing in the latter competition. A platoon of..q4 prairie infantry regiment, which only arrived in Eng- land last Christmas, was second in the Canadian Division and a platoon from a ‘western Ontario regiment third. — . : “The competition included a 10-mile route march and a firing exercise with rifles and two Bren guns for each platoon on the range. Elimina- tion contests were, held in every 2nd Division battalion and brigade cham- pions were determined. These met in the finals. Each rifleman shot 15 rounds at various targets and the Bren gunners each fired 56 rounds. Lieut. Ellis’ platoon won the Cana- dian bracket and gave. the British a run for their money, despite the handicap of travelling a considerable distance from coastal positions which the battalion is holding to the local- ity where the competition was held. After a ride in trucks, which started at 4 am., the men hoofed the 10 miles and showed they still had their shooting eye. One of the members of the win- ning platoon was Pte. S. Relkey of Regina.

L.| Middle East Campaign Mapped Out At The Time Of British With- drawal From Dunkirk It is a sober fact—I could scarcely believe it when it was.told me—that at the most critical period last sum- mer, when this country was denuded of arms after the collapse of France and: the withdrawal of the British force from Dunkirk, Mr. Churchill and General Sir John Dill planned the campaign in the Middle East and actually began at that moment to send. out the material, including tanks, which ,General Wavell has ‘used with such astonishing success in his swoop through the desert. The historian will .search with some excitement for a record of the considerations that decided this piece of audacity; was it that Mr. Church- ill thought invasion improbable and| risked it, or that he was so sure of the capacity of the navy and air force to stop it that he thought tanks y and armored cars would not be wanted ? j 4 To put Egypt before Britain was in any case extraordinary; ut in war it is only the result that counts. —tLondon New Statesman. ; See Much Service Canadian Sailors Tell Story Of Man Washed Overboard A group ‘of Toronto members of the Royal: Canadian Navy and the R.C.N.V.R. arrived back home. on leave, and Stoker PO. H. H. Hunt, a veteran of the first Great- War, said “we have seen more service already in these Canadian ships than we saw in the whole four and a half -years last time.” The! men did not disclose details) of: their service, because of naval regulations, but one of them said: “We just did what we were asked to do, and the English ships.are do- ‘ng that day in and-day out.” They told the tale of the auction of the effects of one. of their coni- panions, an able-bodied seaman who had been washed overboard . during a& heavy storm. All his personal effects were carefully gathered -to-. ‘gether and at the auction they were sold for such prices as $20 for a knife worth about 50 cents, $12 being. paid for a piece of black silk worth only a few cents. When it was over the “auctioneer” held about $450- to be sent to the man’s widow. The men’s canteen fund provided another $150. Training For Students Plan Outlined Would Not Interfere With Their University Work Ottawa.—Plans for fitting the mili- tary training of university students into the four-month compulsory training plan were outlined in the House of Commons by War Services Minister Gardiner. He sdid students would receive 110 hours’ training in each term and two weeks’ camp training’ during the summer. This would equal one month’s regular training in each year and a student liable to be call- ed for compulsory training who spent three years at a university would be required to undergo one month’s training on leaving. If we lived on one of the tiny moons of the planet Mars, there would be so little gravity pull that we would be able to jump 1,000 feet into the air. 2403 mate and iow average humidity as is found in Saskatchewan, Alberta and a number of the United States, oper- ates in favor of a low pneumonia in- cidence. About 30,000 Canadians annually became ill of pneumonia and until re- cently one out of every four attack- ed died of it. Now, thanks to the discovery of drugs of the sulp) mide class the lives of nine out of ten victims can be saved. Last year in hospital practice pneumonia deaths were reduced by two-thirds. But there remains the problem of prevention. The chief items in the prevention of pneumonia, are: “41. Clearing up foci of infection. 2. The use of the protective foods: meat, milk, eggs, fish, and fresh vegetables and fruit. 3. Plenty of rest and relaxation. 4, Immediate bed when a cold or an attack of flu’ comes on. Vegetable Products As A Raw Material Are Extensively . Used In Industry ~ The _production of . commodities based. on’ vegetable products as a raw. material constitutes an import- ‘ant branch of Canadian. manufactur- ing production. It ocmprises the out- put of the flour, feed, rice and malt milling industries, the preparations of the grain food and confectionery industries, including the bread and other bakery products, biscuits, con- fectionery, cocoa, breakfast foods, stock and: poultry feeds, ice cream cones, macaroni and kindred’ pro- ducts, and starch and glucose; the output of other food industries; such as, fruit and vegetable preparations, coffee, tea, spices, other miscellan- — eous foods. and sugar; the manufac- ture of beverages, including aerated and mineral waters, wine, and the output of breweries and distilleries; the manufacture of vegetable pro- ducts other than. food, comprising rubber goods, inclucing rubber foot~ wear, tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, to- bacco processing. and packing, end linseed, soybean and other ils, not to mention the many fibres of vege- table -origin used by the textile in- dustries of Canada. Products: of vegetable origin elso contribute ma- terially to the foreign trade of Can- ada. . Se Photographs As Substitute Pictures Of Indian Art Exhibited At The Royal Academy Had it not been for the war the Royal Academy would now be having a great. winter exhibition of Indian art. As this plan had to be post- poned the India Society thought of photography as. the next best thing, reports the London Daily Sketch. An exhibition of 250 photogrpahs, cover- ing 2,000 years of Indian sculpture and architecture, was opened at the Imperial Institute by “the Secretary of State for India, L. S. Amery. Food For Thought Addressing his troops General Wavell, hero of Libya, said: “Have you ever thought what a world we could make if we put into peace en- deavors the energy, self-sacrifice and co-operation we used in the waste- fulness of war?” That’s something to think about when the war is over.
