He returned home for a wife. But then he went back for keeps. He was naturalized, built his elevators, got rich. He didnt rise quite as high as the Connecticut Yankee, but he was elected to parliament, was hiked up into the cabinet and there ran the railroads, the canals and the Canadian Broadcasting system. And when Hitler struck he took over the job of providing powder and shot and related items. Now, stocky, cheerful and 57 years old, he looks ahead. He would build in postwar Canada a the utopia on broad basis of agriculture, forests, mines, fisheries and, believe it or not, private enterprise.

HOGS: New Floor Temporary The governments extension of the price for hogs from 200 to 300 pounds is a temporary measure designed to provide farmers with an equitable market during the present high tide of shipments, War Food floor administration declared. When the gluts are cleared, WFA said, the government will agam go back to the 200 to 270 pound floor range, but farmers will be notified of the change. Because of congestion, WFA said, some farmers have been unable to obtain permits for shipping hogs, and they have hesitated to send their animals to more distant markets because of shrinkage losses and higher transportation costs.
