With only twd weeks remaining in
the regular season of the City Soft

his scrapping Baptists are way out in
front with nine victories and two
defeats. The Christians, managed by
Bill Spivey, are now situated in the
second spot with seven wins and
five losses.
As yet no decision has been made
as to the rained out and tie games,
and it is possible that several of the
contests will be played in an effort
to change the standings of the var
ious clubs. The Baptists have been
rained out in three games?two with
the Episcopalians and one with the
Methoterians. The Methos have had
two games rained out with the Chris
tians and a tie game with the Epis
copalians, and the Episcopalians have
one game to make up with the Chris
tians.
The championship play-offs are
expected to get underway the first
week in August with the first and
last place teams and the second and
third place squads battling it out in
a best three out of five series to de
cide which two teams will play in
the finals.

Condition Of Gin Equipment
('an Affect Quality Of Cotton
1
The condition of gin equipment
can affect the quality of cotton.
According to J. A. Shanklin, ex
tension cotton special at State Col
lege. good ginning and poor gin
mng show up noticeably in the prep
aration and grade of cotton. It is
imperative therefore that ginners
"make ready" their gins during the
growing season so that they will be
in position to offer growers a good
job in the fall. July is the usual
"make ready" month and during
that period ginners should be care
ful to put all machinery and equip
ment in tip-top shape.
palians are scheduled to battle it
out in the first game. Krnest "Ma
tu/a" Mears, still bragging about his
first mound win in seven starts, is
expected to oppose John Hardy of
the Episcopal*.
In the nightcap, the loop's top
clubs will fight it out, Harcum
Grimes allowing that he is sure his
boys will increase their league lead.
Weekly Review Of
Canada At War
Ottawa, Canada. ? Canada paved
the way (or naval occupation of Ice
land by the United States. Along
with British troops, a Canadian mil
itary contingent was in Iceland for
months, constructing roads, estab
lishing bases. The Cameron High
landers of Ottawa were the last
Canadian unit in Iceland. They were
relieved by British troops towards
the end of April. "It is the most sig
nificant move yet," was the com
ment of Prime Minister Mackenzie
King on the landing of American
forces in Iceland. "Naturally I am
greatly pleased."
Construction is rapidly proceeding
on the chain of air bases from Ed
monton to Whitehorse, Yukon Ter
ritory. These are the bases recom
mended. by the United States-Canada
Joint Defense Board. They form an
air link with Alaska. All the radio
stations will be finished this fall.
Between the outbreak of war and
March 31, 1941, Canada provided
Great Britain with more than $500,
000,000 to help her finance her war
purchases. By March 31, 1941, it is
estimated, Canada will have provid
ed Britain with nearly $1,000,000,000
more for the same purpose.
Assistance to Great Britain is dis
tinct from Canadas' own expendi
ture as a belligqtent. Canada's own I
war expenditure is paid for entirely
by the Canadian taxpayer. In the
present fiscal year, Canadians will
spend about 40 per cent of their to
tal national income for war.
Through Labor Minister N L. Mc
Larty, the Canadian Government
has made known Its approval of a
cost of living bonus of $1.93 a week
for 3,000,000 workers in Canada. The
bonus is based on a 7.7 per cent rise
in the cost of living above the level
of August, 1939, and is calculated at
the rale of $l za per worker per
week for each "five per cent rise in
the cost of living index. The cost of
living bonus has two main object
ives: (a) to help to stop or limit in
flation and (b) to give labor a shield
against the worst consequences of
rising prices
The first 25-pound field guns and
first cruiser tank produced in Can
ada have left the assembly lines. The
new gun will form the chief wea
pon of field artillery units and re
place the old 18-pounder. Main
changes from the old gun are pneu
matic wheels, improved sighting, and
greater angle of elevation. The
cruiser tank embodies many new
fetaures and is to be sent to the Unit
ed States for demonstration. The
first heavy infantry tank to be pro
duced in Canada left the assembly
line some weeks ago.
