"Always Preserve Your Dignity"

It's quite the fztshiun. .\ tnainlantl exchange is to be commcttded, therefore, for rcsurrccting a “code of manners for gctitlctttcti cyclists" which dates back to 1897. llvre it is, and an excellent C0110 at that:

“ln 1110111111111; a gvntlctnan who is accom- panying a lady holds hcr whccl. \\'hen the cud

No Room for Complacency

Far too prevalcttt is thc kind of wishful think- ing thus dcscrihrtl, with admirable l1rcvit_v, by a corrcspoudcttt .111 the 0110:1111 Journal “Around the tea tables these days. my wife tells mc, wo- men arc saving that ‘the war will bc ovcr by Christmas.’ I assured her that they are talking bunk. The serious part about it is that it is an excuse for people not t0 ntakc the war sacrifices that are urged upon all of us, You tell ‘emf’

To which the Journal editor replies, (lcspnti- dentlv: “What's the use? People who talk that way either do not read comment in newspapers or haven't the sense to understand the import of it when they do. If the war ends ‘by Christmas the peace may be worse than the war."

The current issue of Cattadiati Business sup- plies some cogent reasons why the war will be pro- tracted. At the start of the war the Axis had one-quarter of the world's steel capacity. They now control about 43 per cent of it. When war broke out, our enemies had none of the world's ntbbcr resources. They now have 9t per cent.

m proportion of the world's tin has grown

from 9 per cent to 73 pcr cent, Thcir resources of irrm ore were limitctl to 7 per cent of the world supply but now it is 45 per cent. They even ltavc 35 per cent of the wheat acreage of the world, against I3 per cent at the beginning of the conflict. 'l‘ltcir crude oil supply is 7 per cent of the total as against 4 of one per cent two and a half years ago. What the Axis nations have gain- ed thc United Nations have obviously lost, and ra\v materials have become the greatest limiting factor in North American production.

A fc\v weeks ago, Mr. R. C. Berklnsbaw, chairman of the \'Vartime Industries Control Board, obviously had this in mind when he told a Toronto attdience that: “Up to six months ago, the [litited Nations controlled sources of essential raw titateriztls far superior to those then avail- able to the Axis powers. It was not until Japan struck with cataclysmic stiddetttiess that our statistical stock pile superiority vanished before our eves." All this adds up to the tiupleasatit fact that Canadian, as well as .\1nerican, civilians must be prepared to do with less. From now on, we shall experience a lack of supplies which will re- duce per capita civilian consumption to the deep- est levels of the last depression. Belts must be tightened; noti-essetttial activities curtailed or eli- tt-iuated. Tint out of what llr. Leon lletidersott c-‘tlls thcsc “glorious scareities," we Shall find a =olution which will mean not onlv the “winning of the war but discovering the world of tomor- row."

One property, measuring 5t arpcnts, borders Cotc dc Liesse road: the second, with an area of F15 arncnt, adjoins Cote St. Francois road. The fortncr belonged to Etntna St. thubin, widow, and the latter was owned by her son, Leandra St. Atthin. The Government offered $15,528 for the one and $12,918 for the other, but the pro- prietors respectively sct the purchase prices at $37094 and $311410.
