remain at that figure unless there are some major building changes.

The original target was to de- liver six of the ships by 1956 and the other eight by 1957. Now the navy does not expect to get more

another four or live by 1057; and the remainder by 1958.

An informant said the key to production is in delivery of the en- tines and gearboxes to the Cana- iian shipyards producing the oraft.

If pressed. the John Inglis plant at Toronto could step up produc-

tion of the power units by putting slight work

workers on a round-the-clock schedule. .

disclosed it was official -iollcy to reduce the production law oi some defence items to ex- znd deliveries over longer periods nd thus keep plants busy for pe- iods longer than might otherwise be possible.

But the rate of production of such other items as radar equip- ment for the "Mid-Canada" early warning system is being speeded.

Over-all defence production out- lays dropped in the 1954 caicnda year by 52l10.000.00t) to Sl.009.200.. 000. This year there may be a rise. mostly because of

higher outlays for the radar de- ”" lfence network in the north.

The extension of the y Shooting Contests from August) 15th to September 15th has ar- oused a feeling of disquiet in the breasts of many sportsmen. Hunters have an excuse to roam the habitat of ducks. Huns and pheasants until 15 days before the season opens (October 1st). This is not good business. Gunfire in the vicinity of duck marshes. even if it is directed at crows.

Crow l

salt water. A shot is a shot in the cagey black's book. They don't stop to figure it may be at crows but pull out pronto.

The Department under which the bounty is administered mere- ly announced that bounty pay- ment was extended on crows' feet until September l5th... not that crows could be shot until September 15th. Crows are trap- ped for bounty as well as shot. Don't get any ideas boys about having a free pass to shoot crows ianywhere or as late as one may wish. Anyone found on or near a duck marsh with a firearm be- fore October 1st may be given the opportunity of laining to a Magistrate what he was doing there. If there is the slightest tinge of suspicion connected with the "crow story" there will be no may about it....Shali is the word.

This week 1 surveyed the "curfew barrens" along thenorth

of the district have a very strong suspicion that curlew were shot last summer under the guise of crow shooting. at that a num- ber of cock pheasants had their tail feathers4 ruffled by chilled sizes that were originally pock- eted for use on crows. it is now crmmon knowledge that pheasants will answer a crow call. I don't mean theylll come to a crow call but will give their position away on account of the call.
