U I l O Canada has exported 10,000,000 dozen eggs in the past year compared with 1,000,000 dozen in an average year reports .\lr. john L. l3rown, 0f Montreal, secretary-treasurer of the Can- adian Produce Association. There is every in- dication that storage egg stocks in Canada are the lowest 0n record. “Increased production is being given cvcry encouragclnent by members of the Caluldizul Produce Association, believing that an increased supply will be required by the British Food Ministry, and that ltelping to pro- vide part of the csscntial foodstuffs to the Un- ited Kiuqdmn is part of Canada's national war effort," he says.

Of the number. 2,439 are listcd lhcrc as having been (lowneti over Britain or around the British coast. Over the Low Countries, France and Dcnnlark the Germans lost clcven planes in the period; over the Reich. scvcn; ovcr the North Sea. twelve; over Norway or its coast. three, according to the British compilation, and eleven Nazi planes were rcportcd to have fallen to British naval guns. During the pcriotl British plane losses were 305, the .-\ir .\liui~tr_v stalcd. Over Bri- tain and around its co:1.~t.1hc llritish loss was put to 733 planes, with the pilots of 3S5 of them hav- ing been saved.

Organizers of the society —“The Catholic Society of the Bible"—say its work will be "greatly stimulatrr" by a necd for the "diffusion of Christian truth in ordcr to off- set the insidious propaganda emanating from Communist and Nazi sources." Such propaganda has been "secretly seeping into our western civilization, threatening to corrupt the morale of the oppressed and loss-privileged classes of our people." they add. Operating under a Downin- ion charter, the organization aims first of all to place a copy of the Bible in every Roman Cath- olic home in Canada. The Bibles will be sold as near cost price as possible. The Bible will be given free to any who cannot afford to pay for it, to hospitals, homes for the destitute, penal institutions and foreign missions. Copies will also be placed in hotels. For financial support, the society will depend on annual dues to be paid by members in Canada, on donations, be- quests and periodical appeals to Catholics at large, and its scope will be extended as far as finances permit. A "misconception" that Cath- olics are not allowed to read the Bible has arisen from the fact that “Catholics have been advised against reading other than authorized Catholic versions" the organizers state. w u u a Capt.

The government ls particu- ' larly anxious to secure the co-opt-ra- ,tion of consumers 1n its efforts to ikcel) Canadian dollars w'lthln the country, so that problems of foreign ‘exchange may not be further com- iallcated. Prnlseworthy as these objects are, and wise as the purchase of war savings certificates ls, both from the point of vlew of Investment and of patrlotlc collaboration with the government, there ls a danger that the suvlng tendency may be car- ' rind too far, It certain aspects, duly lsircssrd by the Minister of Fin- d l and", fall to receive the attention ltltclr importance deserves. l Iu the first place, It should be carefully noted that 1t is against. the buying of "non-essentials" that the campaign ls directed.

But the Hun’; foul- mess also ls bringing back the ler. l rors of the open boat, which, for a1- most. two centuries of seafaring, has filled the annals of the mighty deep with some of Its greatest epics of fortitude and also Its dramas of horror.
