UTDOORS By VIC BAKER DUCK-OUTS That well-known and active con- servation organization;=Ducks-Un--|-- limited (Canada), "shot" the first tof its ""duck-outs" recently at Ta- tagwa Lake near Weyburn, Sask., in a campaign that will make use of ordinary dynamite to 'do good work for ducks and conservation in general. This idea of digging duck-outs for ducks is a new one "in this country, and should evens tually prove successful in blasting miles of ditches through western swamps and prairie country to make homes for the ducks. An expert handler of dynamite did the explosive work and made deep - holes ail over the shallow and nearly dried out Tatagwa Lake,_so that greater quantities of water will gather there, especially in the spring, and thus be a stop- ping off place for the ducks in their migration northward. Enough water is expected to be gathered iq these dynamited holes to last "throughout the breeding séason.

First Official Figure It was the first official govern- ment figure on the war ¢ made public. There was no S ber figure given and as returns are sometimes delayed in reaching the treasury, it is possible that part of the total might have been expend ted in September, The war expenditures would be taken from the $100,000,000 war ap- propriation voted at the "spacial session of Parliament last Septem- ber. It is considered possible that the money was used largely by the Defense Purchasing Board which handled government war buying prior to being taken over by "the new War Supply Board last Nov- ember 1.
