Canadian Government Inereases Output of War Materials Army Will Use Ten Million Gallons of Gas In Two Months Field Kitchens Expected To Use 10,000 Cords of Fire Wood Fort Bragg?The Fort Bragg quar termaster will call for bids in the near future on more than ten million gallons of fuel and lubricants for use by the First Army during its Octo ber-November maneuvers in North and South Carolina, it was announc ed today by Colonel Samuel I Zeid ner, post quartermaster. Leading the list of needed supplies are eight and one-half million gal lons of high test automotive fuel for the hundreds of trucks, reconnais ance cars and other vehicles the First Army will operate. Bids are also sought on 200,000 gal lons of airplane fuel for use by the tank units. Airplane fuel, of high oc tane content, is used in tanks, Captain H. H. Hutchinson, purchasing officer for the Fort Bragg Quartermaster, said, because the combustion princi ples of tank and airplane engines are similar. An additional 550,000 gallons of white (plain) gasoline will be used in field ranges and for other pur poses. When used in field ranges, white gas is first vaporized and gives off a smokeless flame. The Quartermaster Corps will al so purchase 10,000 cords of wood for field kitchens. Present plans. Captain Hutchinson said, are to procure this wood in counties where the camps wlil be located and, if possible, from landowners in that immediate vicin ity. To keep the vast amount of ma chinery running smoothly, producers will be asked to supply 855,000 gal lons of lubricating oil; 170,000 gal lons of gear oil and 260.000 pounds of grease. Since the maneuvers will be con ducted, in part, during winter wea ther, bids will also be asked on 34, 500 galluns of antifreeze. Four thous and gallons of cleaning solvent will be used. Col. Zeidner said all fuel and lu bricant deliveries will be made l.y bulk distributing plants in the vi cinity of the camps by agents wan have exclusive selling rights in those areas. Generally, he added, these sales territories embrace single coun ties. The supplies will be moved to railheads serving the various com bat forces by rail and motor trans port. There are now advance units and skeleton organizations stationed at each proposed camp in the North Carolina maneuver, area, doing pre liminary work such as receiving sup plies and making the sites ready for occupancy next month. ? The First Army maneuvers in the North Carolina area will get under way on October 3, with approximate ly 165,000 troops in the field. This number will increase tu about -250, 000 during the first part of Novein ber and will reach its all-time hit Trains A irmen For 'Downfall of Hitler' TREASURER Airs. Vella A.

Commercial Trucks Increase In Numbers Although the nation may soon feel the pinch of ne\y-car "shortages," caused by passenger-car production cuts as vital materials are diverted to defense channels, the country's "second line of defense"?commer cial trucks?-will roll off assembly lines in even greater numbers this year than last, as they are exempt from OPM quotas The importance of light trucks?the familiar butch er's, tailor's and druggist's delivery cars?to the nation's civilian wel fare has been pointed out and pro duction of these vehicles has in creased 550 per cent in the last 15 years, while 1940 passenger-car pro duction was actually one and a half per cent under the 1925 figure. In other words, in 1925 there were 78 passenger cars built for every light truck; in 1940 this ratio had dropped to 12 pasenger cars for every truck. Argentina industries controlled by Nazis are listed as worth $455,000, 000. ____ of approximately 300,000 men through November 30. In both the Fort Bragg and Fort Jackson maneuver areas there will be some 500,000 troops, nearly one j third of the United States' continent al Army at this time. l aiiada is rusning Forward In Effort To Defeat Hitler W ar F.ffort Rcvie*?l There For Firsl Two Yearn Of I lie War Ottawa. Canada.?On September lOtb. twn years ago. Canada went to war with Germany. The Dominion's 12.00U.00U people are observing this week as a week of "reconsecration'1 to the democratic cause. Canadians look back upon two years of steady preparation and con siderable achievement. Two years ago the Dominion's sailors, soldiers and airmen, including reserves, num bered fewer than 70,000. Today, in cluding reserves, they total 490.000. Of these. 320.000 have voluntarily enlisted for service anywhere, and more than 100.000 are already over seas. In addition, single men aged 21 to 24. not already enlisted for serv ice anywhere, are being drafted for the home defense army. They are given four months' training, after which they are kept in uniform and posted to the army for service in Canada for the duration of the war. They may volunteer for service the active army Thi> Canadian Navy, which now musters 250 ships as compared with 13 two years ago, has been in action since the day Canada went to war. It has assisted in convoying ships carrying more than 30.000.000 tons of supplies across the Atlantic and its ships have been operating in waters around the British Isles and in oth er parts of the seven sens. They have sunk enemy submarines, rescued passengers ami crews from torpe doed Vessels, captured several en emy ships and caused others to bo scuttled. In these operations the navy has lost three ships and 330 men Three Canadian army divisions and a tank brigade stand guard in Britain Five times in April and June. 1940. Canadian troops were , on the point of seeing action on the conti nent of Europe, but the military sit uation prevented their meeting the enemy. The Canadian army overseas is at present in Britain because it is regarded us an essential part ol Brit ish defenses at this time. Canadian airmen in the H.A.F. have been taking part in the air war since the beginning of hostilities. They have fought over Britain, Ger many, France. Nazi-occupied torri tniies. (lii'iej Libya and Norway. They played a prominent part at Dunkirk In the last two years the number of Canadians in the R A F. has been greatly increased by the arrival of contingent after contingent of graduates of the British Com monwealth Air Training Plan. Also, Royal Canadian Air, Force squad rons have been operating in Britain j since early in 1940 A large number | of such squadrons are now overseas. Canadian airmen have shot down an unofficial total of more than 200 enemy planes. In addition to Cana dians in the R A F who have given thojr lives the R.C.A.F. has listed 392 killed and 134 missing. The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan is now operating at peak capacity with 90 training schools, 100 airfields and 124 estab lishments of all kinds Twice as many pilots, gunners and observers as originally planned for this time have been turned out, and the rate is continually increasing. At some air training -schools one plane leaves the ground every twenty seconds. Canada provides about 80 per cent of the air crew, and of these about 8 per cent are Americans, w ho wear a distinguishing badge, "US A." on the shoulder. Many of these Ameri cans along ?ilh a large number of their countrymen who have joined the Canadian army, are already ov erseas. Australian, New Zealand and British airmen also train in Canada. To supply these armed forces Can adian industry has turned itself ov er to u remarkable degree to war production. In addition, new plants and plant additions have sprung up in many parts of the country. About half a million dollars has been spent on this industrial expansion and ytv.pt balf the workers employed in manufacturing are now doing war work. In the coming months this number will be increased by about 40 per cent, which will mean an in creasing drain on peacetime occupa fun tions. Canada, now, ran equip a infantry division with everything nleded for war within a period of five weeks. The great bulk of Can adian production has tieen going to Britain and now is going to every part of the British Empire, to China and very shortly to Russia. War materials now being turned out in Canada include corvettes, minesweepers, many types of small naval vessel, airplanes, tanks, two kinds of machine guns, one type of field gun, one type of light gun, Bo^ +ors-AA guns, 3.7 AA gurik, anil-rank guns, rifles, two kinds of trench mortar, explosives and chemicals, shells, small arms ammunition, aer ial bombs, anti-tank mines, depth charges, various types of army ve hicle, parachutes, gas masks, anti gas clothing, radiolocators .naval stores, anti-submarine equipment, and minesweeping gear. Most of these have never been produced in Canada before. To support such a war program the Canadian people have had to give up increasingly large amounts of their income during the past two year. The Dominion Government in the present fiscal year is spending five times as much as it spent dur ing the last full fiscal year before the war. For w ar alone it is spending 411 per cent of the estimated national income $35,000.000,00U in terms of the relative national incomes of Canada and the United States. This is more than Canada spent for war during five years of the last Great war. It amounts to ubout $200 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion. Canadians are paying three times' as much in taxes as they did before the war. Corporation taxes have been substantially increased. Indi rect taxes have been raised and new taxes are being imposed on a large number of items from radios to race track bets. During the last- two > cms Canad ians have loaned the Dominion Gov ernment a sum of money equal to the total being collected in taxes during the present fiscal year- $20 000.000,000 in terms of the relative national incomes of Canada and Un united States. In addition they have contributed voluntarily more than $26,000,000 to war charities. 1 lie war has imposed certain re strictions on Canadians. They face an 11 per cent rise in the cost of liv ing, can get no new models in auto mobiles. radios, etc. until the end of the war. can get only very limited supplies for "11011 essential" pur poses oT certain vital materials, and face a sharp reduction in civilian supply of other materials and com modifies They can erect no new buildings above a fixed value un less they are approved us necessary, can purchase only a few "11011-esseii tial products from the United States, ill order that war materials and equipment may lie bought there in increasing quantities: they cannot get funds to travel 111 the United States except for urgent reasons; they cannot hold foreign exchange or export capital. They are eating less of certain foods ill order that more may be sent to Britain; they are being urged to save all salvag nhtr waste materials and to conserve perishable foodstuffs; and they can not buy gasoline or motor oil on Sundays or between 7 p. m and 7 a. m. on week-days. Canada s war effort during the past two years has I intimately bound up w ith measures for the do tense of North America. Canadian ships and aeroplanes patrol the Do minions Atlantic and Pacific coasts day and-night Canadian troops and guns guard her shores. Canadian troops were for many months, ui Iceland and today they share defense duties with American troops 111 the West Indies and in Newfoundland. Canada is building many new sirs tegir air bases, including a string de signed to give military planes access to Alaska Civilian defense and A R. P. units are organized. Through out the country the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and members of the armed forces guard against sabotage and fifth-eolumn activities. NOTICE OK RALE North Carolina.
