Considering the fact that the population of Canada is under 12 millions, the extent of this country's contribution to the materials of war is reaching amazing figures. Because few people outside of Canada and few Canadians themselves realize the proportions of this industrial development, the following material has been compiled. For example, it will probably come as a surprise that this country is manufacturing $1,000 millions of war material and equipment for the United States; the first corvette built in Canada for the U.S.A., the U.S.S. Danville, was launched in Montreal in November. The impact of this tremendous industrial development on Canadian economy is obvious. The purchasing power of the people and the market for consumer goods and services has risen to new high levels. During the last three years Canada has built up a new oroduction capacity to a value of more than '81,000.-000.000, and neace time uses can be found for 90 percent of this capacity.

AND Y.W.C.A. Hy DOROTHY GARBUTT The Hostess I haven't seen many of the Red Cross girls at the dances recently. I think I told you once before that, whenever I mention Junior Hostesses, the Red Cross Corps girls are included. The Y.W.C.A. chaperones for- the evening at another Army dance in Empress Hail will be Mrs. W. W. C. O'Neill and. Mrs. Allan Davles. And a word about chaperones. I don't always get chaDerones nnw for the weekly Thursday dance as Dctn Hec and Mrs. MacKenzie are in attendance at each dance reD- resenting the "Y" and I feel that, under their supervision, every- imng is quite all right. The Service Wives held their weekly meeting In the ladies loun.ge at ;he "Y" on Thursday afternoon. A number of clothing bags were maae for the Military Hospital. There was no raffle this week. A letter of appreciation from Geordle French, the RoyaJ. Navy sailor in Tranquille Sanitarium, was read and plans for his next Darcel were made. The members are most anxious for the support of more service wives. A great many of you turned out for the children's Christmas party and we had great hopes of seeing you at further meetings. Surely you haven't all left town. The kiddies enjoy coming as well and are busv In ths children's corner. So do come out and support your own club. It is such a relief for us at the hut on Third Avenue to have the shows and dances held at the Em press Hall. No more chairs to put up and take down after each show and no more large crowds on dance nights. It has made the place so 'y mu:h easier to keep clean and tidy. Does anyone know where I can get a British flag measuring 4 feet by 6 feet. It is not our regulation size but I happen to need one Just that size to match an American one I already have. HUGE DESERT AREA The Sahara desert is large enough to blanket the United States. WEST COAST WHALING In 1942 on the Canadian west coast whaling grounds 164 whales were caught. AUSSIE AHMED FORCES Of the . 7,000,000 population of Austrailia, about 560,000 are in the armed forces. ( mr-z PURE WHITE Sport Chat Hockey among the Canadian Forces overseas is narrowing down towards the finals and four teams the Royal 22nd Regiment, the 1st Anti-Tank Regiment, the 48th Highlanders and the R.C.A.M.C. emerged as semi-finalists after stiff competition among teams of a division. Royal 22nd blasted the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment 4-1, Highlanders eliminated the W.N.S.R., 4-2, the anti-tank unit defeated an artillery team' 5-2 and R.C.A.M.C. ousted an anti-aircraft club 5-2. Pte. R. Corash of Quebec City, in goal for the Royal 22nd, was a big factor in his team's victory, while Lieut. T. Cassells of Toronto, at centre, and Pte. W. McDonald of Gravenhurst, Ont., shone for the 48th, Gnr. G. Vogt of Saskatoon, Sask., headed the ir.tl-tankers. Medical corps stalwarts were G. Nisbet of Fort William, Ont., at centre, and W. J. Rookcr of Grimsby, Ont., on defence. In brigade playdowns of another Canadian division, Camerons of Canada, R.C.A.S.C. and the Essex Scottish Regiment, remained in the running after disposing of a brigade headquarters team, an R.C.E. unit, and the R.H.L.I., respectively. L.-Cpt. Nick Carter of Winnipeg starred for the Camerons while Pte. A. Napier of Moose Jaw, Sask., for R.C.A.S.C., and Pte. R. A. Jardine of Regina and Sgt. W. Hussey of Windsor, Ont., were best for their teams. Amateur and pro boxers contri buted to British ring history when, for the first time in London, American ring rules were used In a card put on for servicemen, almost all of them American soldiers or air men. The spectators enjoyed the hearty efforts of their American colleagues and the more scientific exhibition put on by Freddie Mills, British and Empire light-heavyweight champion, who went a couple of rounds with Don Mc-Corkindale, South African veteran. Maj. Richards Vintner, peacetime sports writer in the United States, refereed, arid Lieut. H. G. Strib-ling, a brother of Young Strlbllng, was a Judge. Football was one of the- most popular games in Poland before the war so It's not surprising It's played by Polish members of the armed forces in Britain whenever they get a chance: At one bomber station, embracing both British and Polish personnel, three of the nine soccer teams are Polish and one heads the loop. An "International" match between Polish and British teams at the station will be held a.t the end of the season. F. H. Bowden is in his 72nd year but If a stray Nazi gets within gunshot the oldster is not likely to miss. Shooting in the British Short Range championship on his birthday he scored 298 of a possible 300 over a 25-Vard range at a 5-16 bullseye. Before the revolution of 1917, 856 newspapers, were published in Russia. In 1939 the number had in creased to 8,500. ; Down the Alley : Big Sisters, by winning a clean sweep three games to nil default victory over Optimists in this week's Ladies Bowling League play, took over the league leadership from Rangers who were losing two games to' one to Amateurs.
