ablaze, delivered j minor attacks against Bremen and ; Emden and torpedoed and sank a .Nazi supply ship off the Frisian Islands, the Air Ministry announced today.This second straight night of trip-hammer blows indicated the Northwestern corner of Germany, where German naval bases, shipyards, docks and marine and other industries are concentrated, has become the principal target of the R.A.F.in the all-out offensive which followed upon the enactment by the United States of the British Aid Bill.Striking in the clear light of a full moon, British bombers pounded the shipbuilding yard, docks and warehouses at Hamburg, adding new fires to those set off the night before.Other targets near the month of the Elbe river, between Hamburg and the North Sea coast, were \u201cleft burning fiercely,\u201d the Air Ministry communique said.Bombers of the same command blasted Rotterdam, in The Netherlands, where more huge fires were reported started.Bremen, where sprawling ship-'¦ards turn out many of Germany\u2019s ships, again was attacked, but on a smaller scale than Wednesday night\u2019s fierce assault.Emden, a major Nazi naval base, also came in for heavy attack.Completing the nocturnal raids on continental objectives, single British aircraft splashed bombs on two airdromes in The Netherlands.Sinking of the German supply ship was credited to planes of the Coastal Command.They also were reported to have scored a direct hit on another : upply ship and to have machine-gunned other Nazi vessels yesterday off the Norwegian coast.Six planes were lost.SITUATION New

page 2, column 5.New Craft And Improved Weather Bring Increased Air Raid Tempo By GUY RHOADES, (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Moonlight spring nights have taken death and destruction in greater- force to Germany, German-occupied territory and Britain during the last two nights.Riding high in clear skies, but increasingly visible to anti-aircraft gun crews, one or more new types of British bombers have blasted Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen, returning last night for a second successive moonlight smash at Hamburg.The increasing ferocity of the raids on both sides was seen in the aircraft casualty figures.In yesterday\u2019s raids the Royal Air Force lost five aircraft while the Germans, raiding the West Country, concentrating on Liverpool, but putting on side shows over London and other areas, lost nine.Today reports told of renewed German air raids on Clydeside districts around IGasgow and a second raid on Liverpool, both of which inflicted considerable casualties, but give us under the

with Lt.-Gen.A.G.L.McNaughton.The visit was informal and had not been expected.We reproduce below an editorial from the St.Thomas, Ontario, Times-Journal dealing with the faim situation which we feel will be of interest to our readers: j \"The attempt now being» matle\u2019lrt Elgin County, with similar action in certain other counties, to organize the farmers into a provincial non-political organization whose avowed object is \u2018to raise the general economic level of agriculture,* is meeting with an unusual degree of preliminary {(success.This undoubtedly is due to recognition of the great need of concerted action that will enable the farmers to do Iheif utmost towards winning the war without endangering the stability of the industry, both with respect, to the unsettled times of today and the perhaps still more difficult post-war period.\u201cAnother reason for this ready and quite general response on the part of the farmers to consider the appeals of the sponsoring body (in Elgin, the Agricultural Advisory Council) has been the desire to build the new organization on a truly democratic basis, with all branches of agriculture represented; the small farmer as well as the big farmer, entitled to his say and to any benefits that may accrue, and with party politics and other disrupting elements set to one side.At the first of the series of meetings now being held throughout Elgin, and at which the farmers have not been backward in seeking information and in expressing their desire foi action, steps have been taken to place men in charge of a complete canvass by polling sub-divisions of all farmers.Each farmer will have the right to say whether he is for or against the proposal that he join an organization whose aim is to look after idle general interests of agriculture and towards the costs of which he will contribute at the rale of not more than one cent per acre per annum for a ten-year period.\u201cWhen the canvass of the farmers\u2019 views is completed the canvassers will meet at a township gathering and present their reports and on basis of this, will name men, at the rate of one representative for each two polling sub-divisions, to sit in, with representatives similarly selected at other township gatherings, on the County body to scrutinize, sift out and pass upon the information received.\u201cFrom then on, if the decision is to go ahead, it will be a matter of getting together with other counties, framing a constitution and deciding upon plans and policies for carrying into effect the adoption of (we quote from the document circulated among the farmers for their signatures, pro and con): \u201c \u2018An immediate war-time programme, to enable farmers to receive the same economic security as other groups of society, so that we may be able to supply the necessary foodstuffs to Great Britain, whatever her requirements are, at the price she can pay .a simple, workable plan that will enable us to furnish our full contribution to Britain\u2019s needs.\u201c\u2018A peace-time economy, designed to build a Canadian Agricultural policy, which will give stability, equality and leadership to the farming industry, thus preparing for the post-war period so that the farm group will make its contribution not only to Canada, but to the Empire.\u2019 \u201cThe weakness of most farm organizations in the past\u2014 and many of them have been worthy and have made substantial contributions to agriculture\u2014has been their restriction to certain branches of farming, to the fact that while their membership was open to any and all who cared to join, it was not all-embracing, or to their susceptibility to outside influences, particularly political.In the new organization, it is hoped to get practically all the farmers into one unit, and this unit working for the improvement of agricultural conditions, both general and specific, and enabling this great industry to pull its full weight in the interests of the Canadian farmer and of Canada and the Empire.Its the biggest thing ever attempted in agricultural cooperation in Ontario, and, if it succeeds, its effects will he far reaching.The progress of the steps leading up to completion of the organization will be watched with interest and keenest anticipation.\u201d LABOR UNIONS PRESENT PLAN ON WAR EFFORTi Trades and Labor Congress Representatives Urge

present Government has been in office\u2014wits announced to the Ontario Legislature today by Premier Hepburn, who pledged his Government anew to \u201clive within our income\u201d as an aid to the national war effort.The record surplus was more than $5,000,000 greater than in the host, of the so-called \u201cSunshine Budgets,\u201d $7,347,729 in 1937.Mr.Hepburn, who is also Provincial Treasurer, estimated in his budget address last year that the surplus would be $356,364.For the fiscal year ending March 31, 1942, Mr.Hepburn budgeted for a surplus of $9,743,003.His report for the current fiscal year was based on ten months actual and two months estimated.The Premier announced there would be no new taxes and that existing lax measures would be continued.The 1 940-41 surplu-s was obtained mainly through receipts of $23,000,-000 from the corporation tax, whereas $15,000,000 had been estimated.Increase in revenue from the Highway Department, from the Department of Lands and Forests and from the Liquor Control Board contributed to the surplus.Mr.Hepburn est imated a decrease of $5,346,079 in the gross debt of the Province and said the funded debt had boon reduced by $2,160,-257 to a total of $616,584,197.The Premier estimated gross ordinary revenue for the next fiscal year at $115,179,775, compared with $1 14,066, 264 in the current year, and gross ordinary expenditures at $105,436,711 compared with $101,455,900.Mr.Hepburn said that \u201cthose charged with direction of our wrar effort\u201d had said the peak of the Dominion\u2019s contribution would be reached this year.\u201cIf the country\u2019s industrial wealth -ind man-power were utilized to the full \u201cwe would then be employing all our idle men, our full supply of electrical power, the vast output of our natural resources and our finan-¦ial system would be taxed to its capacity, and probably beyond.\u201d Canada must rise to the occasion o replace losses of British ships and cargoes and \u201cgive to Great Britain the tools with which to finish the job.\u201d The Premier said an all-time production record was achieved in 1940 when minerals valued at $250,-000,000 were taken from Ontario\u2019s mines.Owing to war restrictions he was unable to give detailed figures.He stressed the success obtained in lignite-coal experiments and said he hoped that, in the near future this fuel would be available to industrial and domestic users in Northern Ontario.» - CLAIMS PARACHUTE JUMPING RECORD Buenos Ain,.March 14.-_{/!\u2019)¦ \u2014 Tomas Picasso jumped out of an airplane 39 times

R.A.F.bombardment of Hamburg \u201cmore than fifty\u2019\u2019 patients and nurses in two hospitals were \u201cdead and buried.\u201d The figure brought immediate doubt.In the first place it was extraordinary high; in the second it is not usual to catch two hospitals at one go when one is looking in good moonlight for other objectives, which is what the K.A.F.was doing for hours, in the third place the term \u201cdead and buried\u201d was ambiguous.The Germans said they downed five Britiah planes during the raids which, if true, gives them a losing score of roughly two to one on the last two days exchanges.It was generally expected that the tempo of R.A.F.raids, with weather improving, would increase to a greater pitch, in view of the surity of obtaining American replacements of machines, tions, founded on the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of men, and the vision of the Kingdom.Mrs.George Ham, President of the Mission Circle, called the meeting to order and led the responsive readings.The Scripture reading, Psalm 46, was given by Mrs.Willis Wiggett.Other ladies taking part in the service were Mrs.H.K.Byron, Mrs.Clayton Thomas, Mrs.Ivor R.White-house, Mrs.Nelson
