Only a few select troops are accepted and they must pass rigid examinations. Women, no longer needed for and are concentrating instead on saving food and working in offices and factories. Nor is Great Britain demanding huge quantities of foodstuffs as in 1914. Canadian farmers, who expected such a rush, are left with bulging granaries. As a source of war supplies and a training ground for allied aviation Canada is rapidly becoming so important that many believe it may be the British empire's most important industrial center when the war is over. Some 15,000 pilots from England, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the empire are being given their final training in Canada. ' The dominion is also manufacturing planes, shells and automobiles. Battleships may also be built there eventually, for Canada is now making smaller naval vessels. As never before, Canada at war is emphasizing her financial inde pendence from England, acting almost as a separate nation. Cann. dian securities held in England are being repatriated and $1,500,000,000 worth of Canadian-helAmerican securities are being sold back to the United States.

Only 26 per cent of the village and city groups are that large, the average being augnuy under three. Yet where income is from $1,000 to $1,250 a year a farm family ends the year with a saving of $26 up, while city fam ilies of the same level wind up in a deep financial hole. Let a farmer get his hands on as much as $4,000 to $5,000 a year and he'll save almost half of it, the survey dis closed. His Diet Is Better. While watching his pennies, the farmer manages to eat more good tnings than other groups. His brood of five consumes 60 per cent more milk, 16 per cent more butter and 23 per cent more fresh vegetables than city families. Village families, incidentally, are shown by the sur vey to be the poorest fed in the land, some almost to the point of malnutrition, though an abundance of fresh and nourishing food is usu ally available nearby. In fairness, however, the survey discloses that farmers do not have as many incidental expenses as their urban brethren. Less than half those questioned had electricity, while 98 per cent of city and village dwell ers get monthly power bills. Only 62 per cent of the rural families had installed telephones as compared with 60 per cent for village ,'and urban families. More than 94 per cent of city 'homes were billed for running wareter, while in the gion of the United States only 24 per cent of the farms paid for that convenience. Furthermore though 94 per cent of the farmers own automobiles as compared with only 70 per cent of the others, the agraris ans buy of their cars from the used-ca- r market while more than half the city families buy WW Terry men Are Question Mark In 1940 Race By OSCAR REGAN (Released by Western Newspaper L'nloa j of Sports g, d g 4 which pioneered the development of pneumatic farm tires, points out that the saving of approximately 24 working days on a farm by the faster machines enables farmers to cultivate approximately 33 additional acres with resultant increases in income up to $600 an... .. nually.
