Ammunition too, la expensive, with .303 rifle bullets, used also in machine guns, costing $5 a hundred rounds; z5-poundcr gun shells, too rounds, $1,250; 3.7 anti-aircraft gun shells, I00 rounds, $2,000; 4o mm. anti-aircraft gun shells 15° rounds, $1,000; 5oo-pound bomb $100.

For a fully equipped infantry battalion, includ- ing 41 officers and 896 other ranks, personal cqtiipniettt, motor transport, Bren guns, tiniversctl carriers and stores, cost $300,000.

In the field of aircraft and supplies an elemen- tary trainer plane coats $3.000; intermediate trainer (Harvard), $540,000; medium bomber, $100,000; heavy bomber, from $175,000 to $300.- ooo; flying boat, $225,000; figntcr plane, from 5.3.000 to $50,000; parachute, $235. _

Naval unita are even more expensive than air- craft. A mine-sxveepcr, regular type, is listed at $600,000; a corvette, regular type, $575,000: Ifitnor torpedo boat, $150,000; cargo vcstcl (19-- ooo tons), $1,750,000; Fairmile anti-submarine patrol boat, $130,000. _

The lisf conclude: by giving the daily main- tenance cost for 1,000 soldiers, which is $5.500 in Canada, and $7.100 Overscfli-

In modern, mechanized warfare, the cost of equipping and maintaining an army is higher than ever bcfore. If Canadian forces are to hold their own and fight on to victory on at least equal terms with regard to equipment, the bcst that money can buy must be provided, it is pointed out, ivithout counting the cost. Otherwise the cost will be heavy in livcs-

These boys need help.

A kindly old lady-one, you know. who would rather pmy for her enemies than wish them any harm-expressed to me her indig- nation against the enemies of her country, and asked It there was anything she could do to help in this trying time. (She knew I had been a soldier and might be able to suggest something for her to

do.)

Without hesitation. I said "yes. I know scmcthitig you can do that wlll make you very happy. and will do a great deal o: good. when you g0 home call up your pastor and ask film for a list of the boys that have entered active service from his pa ' 1: thou you write a nice encouraging letter to eath boy every week.
