small measure in building up the great forces now operating in Europe.

paign alone Allied aircraft flew 56,000
sorties. Many thousands of oil-burn-
ing warships and landing barges are
shuttling ceaselessly across the Chan-
nel, Tanks, trucks, jeeps, mobile
artillery, ambulances, by the thou-
sands, are in action.
The driving power behind all this
activity is petroleum — gasoline and
fuels drawn from a dwindling crude
oil supply. But—there is only so much
oil, If existing supplies are to prove
adequate, the most stringent economy
of gasoline and fuel oil must be prac-
tised here at home.
Canada is able to produce only 15%
of her own gas and oil needs, The
remainder must be imported from the
common pool of the United Nations
and the bulk of this is shipped here
by tankers, Critical manpower is
needed to produce our gasoline and
oil, Precious lives and precious ships
An announcement issued by
gas and oil are needed in enormous
quantities for vital war purposes. The
Commonwealth Air Training Plan
has consumed as much as 548,000
gallons in a single day. Canada’s
Navy — expanded since war began
from 15 ships to 650—consumes over
2,150,000 gallons every week. Army
training, war plant operation, food
production, essential trucking — all
are huge consumers of gasoline and
petroleum products.

Thanks For Services
Given As A Rule To Everyone But
Your Doctor
A short time ago a local citizen
Was operated upon by a surgeon, In
due course, a modest bill was ren-
dered, and in sending a remittance
the citizen added a few words of
thanks for what he deemed the skil-
ful services of the operator. The
latter responded with a@ note of
thanks for the prompt payment, “but
more particularly for your kind
words in regard to the results of my
work: expressed gratitude is a ‘rara
avis’ these days.”
It is a curious fact that a man or
woman will make a purchase at a
grocer’s, butcher's, baker's or shoe-
maker's, and on receiving the goods
which was very little trouble to
the clerk to provide, say “Thank
you" and probably pay cash at the
same time, or add an expression of
thanks to a man who does a repair
job around the house. But a doctor
may perf difficult operation
which may actually save a persons
life, or at rid him or her of a
painful or irksome mplaint, and it
never enters the minds of most
people to say “Thank you very much
Dr. So-and-So" when paying the bill
In many cases they do not even pay
the bill. or it, yet
pay part of
gind to offer
beer
they would have
all they had for treatment or an
operation to cure them when they
were sick, It probably never occurs
to them that tt rgect teralls
sweated blood in the performing of
an operation that led for the it
tense entration of all his skil
and mental and phi stamina
In this case the doctor Was so sur-
prised at receiving thanks for his
services, in additi to the practical
mode of express that he Was
moved to express his prratitude for
the thanks
A few words of appreciation to a
person who deserves them will turn
a heavy heart into a light one; a

For Real Action
The Brockville Recorder and Times
says: Not much is being heard or
told on this side of the Atlantic of
the heroism displayed by the men
of famous British regiments in mak-

licity. But we may be quite certain
that, as in every other action since
the start of the war, these men
covered themselves with glory and
also bore the main brunt of the
fighting
