It will also be observed “in national honour for those who on laud, oii the sea and in the air ore the defenders of our country, and in proud memory of those valiant hearts who have gone out from among us in the most precious 0f ill sacrifices for our common freedom." There is indeed need in this Dominion for such a nation-wide stock taking We riecd to be reminded, from our spiritual as well as political leaders, of the need for greater effort and greater sacrifice in furthering Canada's war effort. To many pcoplc, the war is something remote from their daily lives, something that will be won for them without their bothering much about it or allowing it to interfere with the pleasures to which they have become ac- customed. No attitude could be more dangerous. We need, all of us, to be awakened to the trem- endous riarture of the issues involved in this con- flict, and the sacrifices that lie ahead before we can even dream 0f victory. Undoubtedly, vast changes have come over the war situation since France, Belgium and the Low Countries were overrun by the enemy, leaving Britain standing alone in her Island fortress. It was then, under the inspired leader- ship of Churchill, that she rallied all her strength for the conflict. The “miracle of Dun- kirk" marked a turning point, not only in the war but in the attitude of the British people. The succeeded months have been marked by in- tensive speeding up in war production, by heroic efforts on laud, sea and in the sir, by in- creasing co-operation from the United States, by the rallying of the remnants of the conquer- ed nations, and by an ever-increasing confidence in the achievement of victory. But the end is by no means in sight. Hon. I. L. Ralstoii, Minister of National Defense, with fuller knowledge of the facts than most of us possess. issued this solemn warning the other day: "Tho-c who think that the war is won, br- cause Russia m:i_v' be holding up the Germans for tlic time being. are laboring under a danger- ous ClPlLlSl1rll_ We haven't begun t0 win this war so far; all we have done is t0 avoid losing rt.

The greatest iiicrensc in cash income during the first six months of i041 nvcr the same period of 1940 occurred in Snskatclicivan, where the increase was $20,786,000 or 87.7 per cent. In Alberta the increase was $26,617,000 or 69.5 per cent. Cash income in Manitoba was up $9,543,000 or 55-0 per cent over that of the first 6 months of r940. The fact that a larger than normal pro- portion of the i940 wheat crop was riiarkeied during the first 6 months of I941 led to a more uniform monthly cash income for the crop year 1940-41 than would generally be the case. By months, cash income increased from a lO\V of $20,298,000 in February to a high of 333331.000 for June in the Prairie Provinces as a whole. 1n view of the reduction which may be expected in deliveries of wheat during the last six months of 194i, compared with the corresponding period of 1940, cash income during that period will pro- bably be lower than a year previously. Increased marketings of live stock and live-stock products during the balance of i941 at somewhat higher prices will offset to some extent the decline in income from grains, but it appears probable that for the calendar year 1941, the total cash income of the Prairie Provinces will be approximately the same as that of 1940.

Almost two-thirds of the total was obtained from gasoline—$56,i79.r73. On- tario collected $36.241,o56 and Quebec was sec- ond with $18,118,894. ~ l i * i v The latest fruit and vegetable report of the Ontario Department of Agriculture shows the following percentage of the i940 crops. ApplcS, 82 per cent; cherries, r16 per cent; Grapes, 67 per cent; strawberries, 55 per cent. In Eastern Ontario, the potato crop ivill be only 50 per ceiit of last years. In Western Ontario early pota- toes generally were much below an average crop and not enough to supply the demand, but the intermediate crop is somewhat better and of cori- siderably higher quality. Late potato plantings continue to look well, but there will be only an average yield. The corn crop will be ivcll above the average. is is- io- io- The National Defence Department has ordered s oldie r s to stop telling it how to run the Army. The d e pa rt- ment says it has been swamped with letters coir- taining advice, complaints and suggestions from men in the ranks, and their parliamentary representatives. In addition to being unsolicit- ed, the department says, the advice is definitely against regulations. If a soldier has a complaint to get off his chest, he should go to his immedi- ate superior, not to his political representative. If that fails to produce results, recourse might then be taken to the next higher officer. But no more letters to the department, the order says —and it does not add, "please," io- ir n- s Canada has fallen down on airplane output. Our Anson production, subject of debate and criticism in the House of Commons last spring, still lags far behind the originally announced schedule. Only a few machines have bccn de- livered. There were to be 1.000 of these planes made in Canada and equipped with engines and certain instruments from Great Britain, for use in the Commonwealth Air Training Plan. lt had been expected production would start early this year but changes in design and other circum- stances delayed the program. So far as can be learned the original order will be proceeded with although, in the meantime, Ansons obtained in Great Britain, and other planes from the United States have been secured in order that training might not be interrupted. iv is is is We have one consolation, if consolation it be, we are not the only ones to havc experienced ex- ceptionaly bad weather at this time. So cool has been the latter part of August, says Montreal Gazette, that the extreme heat of the first nine days was offset to the extent of reducing the mean temperature of the month below the normal average for August over the last 66 years, it was learned from McGill Observatory. Beaches and other swimming places have done a poor business since the cool spell set in. The big Verdun swimming pool lost thousands of dollars that would have been made had the iveathor continu- ed as it was when the month started. Blankets that had been moth-ballad away until the fall were brought out in many homes, and some had to start the old furnace going to trikc tlic chill out of the air at times during the month.
