To look at the map •mm helpful, but oot enough to clar- ify an obscure situation. Sir Archibald Sinclair, Liberal M.P. in the British House, was out- •poke.n: "The Government must take vigorous measures and deter- iDined action in Norway, or remain- ing neutrals will climb on the Ger- â- nan bandwagon." Further, "II the OoTernment muddled In this Nor- wegian campaign it will be for Par- liament to act objectively, fearless- ly and resolutely as the grand in- aueet of the nation." FOURTH WEEK BEGINS At the end of the third week ot Hbe war In Norway, the German XUgh Command claimed that Oslo and Trondheim bad been linked by Kati columns, that Dombas, strat- egic rail junction, had been captur- ed, giving the Nazis control of the main rallwajr line from the Nor- wegian capital to Trondheim. The Allies, while admitting withdrawal In several sectors, still commanded the approaches to northern Nor- way; held the important ports ot Namsos and AndaLsnes; and were â- uccessfully landing substantial reinforcements of men and sup- pllee, together with much-needed anti-aircraft guns.

It la well-known that there are the â- oakings of an excellent Nazi "fifth «olumn" In Sweden, a Nazi network vt friends and propaganda that pen- etrates every corner ot the country. ITALY'S NECESSITY During the week Italy gave new â- Igns of being ready to create a â- erloua nuisajice; as a precaution- ary measure, then, the British Gov- ernment ordered all British ship- ping out of the Mediterranean. A Fascist spokesman declared It "hn- poeslble for a country like Italy io remain indefinitely out of the present wax." Walter Lippman on tltla side of the Atlantic said: "A Nazi Tictory, obtained without Ital- ian help, would be supremely dan- Serous for Italy. Therefore, Italy's enly chance to save anything from ttle desperate situation ia to join the Germans If they are winning, to Join them before H is too late to eontrlbuto anything important to the Nail victory, yet not too soon to be fatally hurt by the Allies.

Half a pail of water after setting out is not too much for such big things, and the watering should be repeated two or three tlme« a wc'ek, it a quick start is wanted. With ordinary annuals and per- ennials liberal watering is also ad- visable and shelter from hot sun tor the first few days. Some pickup In the way of quickly available commercial fertilizer, carefully ap- plied, will help at this time, merely a pinch tor small things like toma- to plants or asters, and perhaps up to a couple of haudfuls tor shrubs and tree.". INFORMAL LAYOUTS In the a'verage case planting Ir- regularly in clumps will produce the most pleasing garden effocts. Such planting, too, will add an air ot spaciousness, giving even tiny backyard gardens the appearance ot much larger plots. Where possible there should be a lawn In the foreground, with an irroguharly shaped bed of flowers around the e<lges and possibly dif- ferent groups of shrubs at the cor- ners. Screening of harsh straight lines about the house and drives with clumps ot flowers and shrubs and an occasional trailing vine over verandahs or garages will bring the whole thing together.

Before attempting to ans- wer this general enquiry we had a chat with Frier Gulline, one of Canada'.'* most expert tiers of ai- tificial fishing flies. It was under e expert supervision of this able fy "doctor" that the new leaders wore first tied when they were introduced to the Canadian fish- ing fraternity last spring, so we know the information he gave us is correct beyond a doubt. The Bett Knota After experimenting with sev- eral types of knots, it was decid- ed that the best knot to tie the nylon strands together into a strong leader would be the fam- iliar Barrel or Blood Knot (see accompanying diagram). Other experiments proved that the best knot for tying eyed flies to the leader was the Turle Knot. Fam- iliar to experienced fishermen and popular with most anglers, it is one of the simplest and safest knots used and will hold under all conditions. It is easy to tie (see illustration) and good for any size VOICE OF THE PRESS BLAME IT ON SPRING It is bard to tell where bpring fever leaves ott and laziness begins. â€" Kitchener Record.

TO-DAY'S NEW WORDS Words have their days of favor. A little whilo ago we were "scut- tling" everything. Lately 'fifth col- umn" as a term for subversive- ele- ments has had a heavy play.

CODDLING CODFISH Canada has imported an average of 337,000 gallons of cod liver oil annually for the past five year?. The Atlantic cod fisheries last year produced about 60,000 gallons. Canada falls far short ot producing enough for her own requirements. Yet, it is estimated that Can.ida can produce from 300,000 to 400,- 000 gallons ot the oil annually. Here then is a condition that cries for remedy. Our production should be far greater even In normal times. â€" Halifax Chronicle. of wet or dry fly. TURLE KNOT This is one of the simplest and one of the safest knots used for attaching eyed flies to nylon fish- ing leaders.
