They were singing, ‘God Save Our King.’ and I said, ‘Ch, they are just those Irish Orange- lncn over in Parkdale.’ But my wife was listen- ing to the radio in the evening, and she heard the congregation at Ofd St. Andrew's singing the same way. So heaven help Toronto if they mzilcc no distinction between '0ttr King’ and ‘the King‘! They sang it wrong in both churches."

But the most exciting job. In Doricaster, indeed at. first to me it. looked a. terrifying lob, was be- ing performed by girls 111 U19 drop-hammer shop.

Smoke find flalmos belclled out beneath its tnighty stroke; then the hammer rose, revealing the bar squashed into u, square. Working together with a. swift, skilful, silent synch- ronization, the man t/wisting and turning the steel, the girl plylnl; her lover quickly or slowly as the use required, they reduced the red-hot. met-oi to a neat. prong and sliced it off. It was a ‘strange, lurid, eatanloaily beautiful scene; flames, smoke, huge hammer, wheels, with tiny llunian figures moving In glare or shadow among these colossal forces, directing and controlling them. I am not. glad that. the necessities of the times compel women t0 this harsh Vulcan labor, and no one could call it comfortable, despite all amenities of welfare and canteen. But it has its own drama, Ila own exhilaration, even pciliaps its own joy, When a Doncaster girl wields a gargantuan hammer on molten steel she must, I think, feel very close to the realities of modern life and nlcdem war. - Phyllis Beurtley in the Leeds Yorkshire Post.

British Farmers Meet ar Test

(Monetary Time!)

How British agriculture has been orgtuuzed to meet the war situation was ably described by Col. George Drew. Opposition leader 1n the Ontario legislature. Col. Drew's personal observations of the situa- tion In Britain are well vol-thy of study and action in Canada.

"Already," said Col. Drew, “'.l‘here

County‘ Weir Agricultural Com- mittees which are In the process o! being set. up In Ontario. are but a shadow. however, of the strong, well o. mined, and ex- tremely powerful Cotulty War Ag- ricultural Committees upon which the whole organization of British agriculture for war depends. In this respect we are already nearly three years behind Britain.

“It was In March, 1839-some six months before the outbreak of war —that the first steps were taken to organize a Committee In every county In Britain. By May all the preliminary steps had been taken. and on May 8th, 1989, the County Chairman of each county wrote to every farmer living In his County explaining that Bfltlsh agriculture was Qanlzed in case war should break out and every farmer was asked to complete a detailed form giving all necessary facts upon which the Cctmnlttees could act if war should come. Upon the basis of the facts thus detained the Coin- mftteee made an accurate survey of each county. ‘Iite result vraa that when war did come, on September 3rd., 1939, everything was readv. The following day the County Com- mittees met. Each Committee knew what. forms were being well-farm- ed, what Ifllflls needed some assist- ance, and what farms were being badly farmed. Instructions were immediately given In ace anoe with the information on hand- From that time on there was a. con- stant intensification 0f effcrt t0 bring every arable acre under the nlow and to raise the farm DQ91115- tion of live stock t0 the l-llgmlsl possible point.

“Starting wlth.12,000,000 acres at the outbreak of war, crops were harvested from almost 17,000,000 acres last year. lfliey hope to add another 2,000,000 acres in the FY95- ent year.

"The organization is extremely simple. It is all centralized under the Minister of Agriculture in Lon- don, I-Ie, in turn. has twelve liaison officers, all of whom are nationally recognized runners, and each of them in turn la responsible for four or five counties.

"There has been a surprisingly
