For Confusion !Huge Expansion Seen in Canada‘s War Activities During the Past Year Published at Tmmins, Ont., Canada Although a total of $175 has been collected since their campaign was started Kinsmen Club officials are worried because of the recent falling off in contributions to the "Fags Fund." They have, said the officials today, sent out 38,000 cigarettes to Timmins boys who now are in England. They are sending them regularly but must have funds to keep up the shipments of cigarettes and tabacco. Kinsmen Troubled Over "Fag Fund" for Boys Overseas A large part of the $175 was obtained when a benefit ball game was staged here some weeks ago between the Holâ€" linger and a pickâ€"up junior team. The amount collected in the fiftyâ€"odd milk bottles which are distributed around Timmins in strategic spots was about $105.

Kinsmen Club officials ask citizens to keep an eye open for the milk bottles on store counters. A good way to get rid of odd coppers and nickels, they say, is to drop them into the bottle.

During these months a peaceâ€"loving people forgot about its peaceâ€"time pursuits to concentrate on the war task at hand, a task that was accelerated tremendously as shocking events overseas brought home to Canâ€" adians the stark realizations of modâ€" ern warfare. This expansion in Canâ€" ada‘s fighting forces and in her indusâ€" trial life was strikingly brought out by Col the Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence, speaking recently at a luncheon meeting of the Canadian Club in Montreal. Now the Canadian Active Service Force numbers over 155,000. Then there were no «#troops outside Canada. Now the C. A. S. F. is in England, in equal to nearly three divisions, or about 40,000, in Iceland, Newfoundland and in the Caribbean. Over 100,000 are availâ€" able in Canada for service anywhere. In addition 60,000 will train with the Non Permanent Active Militia. About 300,000 men will receive 30 days of training each year in 13 militia trainâ€" ing centres. Then no provision had been made for home guard. Now the Veterans Guard of Canada counts 29 companies. THE NAVY Last September the had 1,700 officers and men. Now it has about 10,.000. The Canadian Navy is doing most useful and effective service in conâ€" nection with convoys. These are organâ€" ized by the Canadian Naval Service and their ships form a substantial part of the escort.. About 2,300 ships have been convoyed during the year, bringing troops, food and . ammunition to the British Isles, without the loss of a mah, a gun,sotany part of the munâ€" itions. THE AIR FORCE Last September there were 4,000 ofâ€" ficers and men in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Now there are about 25,000. Then the Navy had 15 ships. Now it has 113, with 100 more being built, Four destroyers of the Canadian Navy are in service with the British Navy. Now three R. C. A. F. spuadrons are fighting side by side with the. R. A. F. in Great Britain, with a fourth squadâ€" ron in the R. A. F. composed entirely of Canadians. Then no units of the R.C. A. P. were serving overseas. The R. C. A, F. is doing a difficult job well in administering the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. At present at about 75 different locations across Canada initial training schools, elementary schools bombing and gunâ€" nery schools, wireless schools and adâ€" vanced training schools are in operation or springing up almost overnight with airdromes to match. INDUSTRY Last September Canada‘s aircraft production barely ran into the double figures, Now Canada has a production of 4,000 planes a year in sight and plans for inâ€" creasing that figure. Five thousand airplane engines have been purchased from the United States. Nine Canadian firms have been put into production of components and asâ€" sembly of ‘planes with Federal Aircraft Limited formed by the Government to coordinate their work.
