Canada Expected 10 Gain
Economically in War
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
F. j. Horning, economist for the
Bank of Canada, told the Securities
Commission yesterday that the end
of the present war would find Can
ada economically stronger than
ever in her history"
Horning said that the Dominion's
role in this war would be chiefly that
of a "supplier of munitions, foods
and other necessary materials" He
testified at hearing on a proposed
reorganization Of International Util-
tiles Corp. :.
Horning declared that at present
Canada did not contemplate extern
sive military participation compar-
able to that of the last war because
at the moment it is not deemed nee
essary." It's contribution, he added,
in addition to that as a supplier,
will include the empire air training
plan and relatively small contin-
gents overseas" Canada enlisted
500, 900 men in the last war, of whom
about 1000 served abroad.
Horning said that financial regu-
lations had been imposed which
would "have the broad effect of
building a wall around Canada eco
nonically and bringing all external
business under ofncial purview." He
said this was done with q view to
preserving the nations national
credit unimpaired."

SIS On The Whole

A crowd estimated at 500 at
tended the production of the
senior class play, 1.-THE Whole
Towns Talking" in the jun
ior high school gymnasium Fri
day night.
The cleverly = written comedy
was good for many laughs, as a
capable cast made the most
amusing situations and lines.
Especially outstanding were
Jack Buzzetti, as Mr.. Simmons,
a manufacturer, and Blaine
Gustafson as Chester Binney,
his partner. These two lads,
who carried the heaviest roles
in the play, got many laughs
for the way they handled their
lines.
The cast was exceptionally
well-balanced, and even those
who had only minor roles
turned in good performances.
Evidence of the excellent dir
ection of Miss Rose Pathmann
was found in the timing and
stage business.
Miss Margaret Berns played
a number of piano solos be-
tween acts.
A total of $500 was cleared
for the senior class on the play.

is needed, officers said, and
warnings can also be sent out
when law-breakers are known
to be heading in any direction
