Message from Hon. T A Crerar Minister of Agriculture urges Canadian farmers to plant all suitable land with wheat to avert famine. He stresses the wartime need, the demand for more food, and asks farmers to increase acreage and bring land under cultivation for the coming year.
Canada imposes a wartime food conservation order for all residents aged 16 to 60 with fines for waste or idleness. Municipalities and provincial officers share half of fines. Warns that wilful waste is illegal and urges reporting cases. Also notes bread shortages in France and wheat promises from North America.
The report cites six Y M C A branches in France and seventy nine in England with dozens of dugouts under fire. It notes 120 military secretaries overseas handling over 300000 letters daily and $133000 needed for athletic equipment to boost morale. The Y M C A saved lives at Vimy Ridge aiding walking wounded and supplied facilities including over 100 pianos 300 gramophones and 27 moving picture machines. Estimated 5000 contributed to war work with tea distribution and hospital aid for boys.
