Where strategic bombing did pav off was in the attack on synthetic oil and gasoline re- fineries. Shortages of gasoline, and lack of trained pilots which could be traced to lack of fuel for training schools, eventually ruined the German air force. The attack on chemical- plants created a shortage of vital explosives for all kinds of ammunition. The continuing assault 0n communications, particularly bridges and canals, denioralized Germany's whole nroduc- tire system.

It Was Decisive

A special committee of civilian experts, which moved into Germany behind the advanc- ing Allied troops, hits issued its report on strategic bombing. It has found, after the most scnrcliing study, that air power was de- cisive in the defeat of Germany, despite many important failures.

ln virw of the tremendous load of bombs dropped on Germany, 2,700,000 tons, civilian casualties were surprisingly light. The com- mittee put the number at 300,000 killed and ‘ 708.000 wounded. This is roughly equal to one death prr tcn tons of bombs. On the other haild, more than 7,000,000 were made lionie- less in the destruction of 3,000,000 dwelling units. This was a fifth of all the housing ac- COllllllllilfllifill in Germany.

The committee called the R. A, F. tliree- (luv szullt on lliinihtirg in 10-13 the most (lt-vzistzttiiig of rill.

Whether air power alone could have won ' the war -will remain an unanswered question. The survey came i0 the conclusion that a rug- ged and resilient first class military power can- not long live under full scale and free ex- ploitation of air weapons over the heart of its territory. However, Allied strategy was based upon laud invasion and because this was under- taken on a grand scale the opportunity did not arise for a demonstration of the efficiency of air power alone.

On the debit side, the report found many items. The American precision bombing tech- nique is writtenoff as a failure. This at least is the implied yerdict of the report. Peak pro- ficiency was attained in Ianuary of this year when an average of 7o per cent hits inside the ‘target area was recorded. The target area. how- - ever, was a radius of 1,000 yards from the

i central object. Th5 overall average, however was: only 2o per ceiit hits in such a target area. .7 The re ort found that estimates of darn- lgs to steefiiroduction were too high.

“Old Parr", whose extreme and almost antediluvian age (r52) has become proverbial, died this date at Albcrbury, Shropshire, I635, and was buried in Westminster Abbey, where a monument was erected to his memory; a farm labourer, till the age of eighty he remained a bachelor, then married his first wife, with whom he lived for thirty-two years; after her death Parr, in "consequence of an ‘intrigue with Catherine Milton, whom he afterwards married, was made to do penance in a. white sheet at the door of the parish church at Alberbury: when presented to Charles I at court, that monarch observed to him: "You have lived longer than other men, what have you done more than other men?" Parr’s reply was: “I did penance when I was a hundred years old.” In the meeting of the venerable patriarch with the British sov- ereign, a. parallel is almost suggcsted with the grand simplicity in which the presentation of Jacob to Pharaoh is recorded in the Book of Genesis; the old man's demise was hastened by his visit to London where the excitement proved too liiuch for him; a grandson lived until he was a hundred and twenty-four. a-

father's title, but said he was left without ad- ditional legacy because he refused to enter politics. The eldest son tried to have an addi- tional administrator chosen. but the court held that one was enough. The eldest son started proceedings to prevent probate of his father's will last lune, a move opposed by the widow and younger soii, who were left the bulk of the estate and were l‘.'llllC(l executors.

I i I ¥ Practically every county in Ontario has now less than the required supply of feed, ex- cept hay and roughage (says the Monthly Commercial Letter of the Canadian Bank of Commerce), and substantial quantities of west- ern grain will be necessary to carry live stock in this Province over the winter. Ontario, which usually accounts for about one-third of the total national food supply, is one of the few areas to show an increase this year in live stock holdings. The increases in this Province have held the national hog holdings from de- clining by more than 22 per cent from those of last year (when they were double those of the 1935-39 period) while its larger cattle pro- duction, together with that in Western Canada and Prince Edward Island, raised the total to a record level. There was also such progress in poultry farming in Ontario as to prevent a marked decline in this branch of agriculture. It is from this Province therefore that we must expect the largest supply of dairy and meat products, even in its difficult feed situation. So far dairy production this year for all Can- ada has been slightly above that for the oom- parable period of I944, and r5 per cent over the pre-war average, but this increase may not. because of the feed Ihortages in Ontario. Al- berta and Saskatchewan, be maintained for long. On the other hand. live stock marketing: are nearly 2o per cent less than those of a year ago (an increase in beef. mutton and lamb not oval-balancing a decline in pork) but may rise ahiornially in the next few months because of
