A complete and "le-tailed survey compiled by Canadian ex- pen?- lias indicated (hat radio broadcasts of musical programmes and phonograph recordings dis- persed over loudspeaker systems in war plants resulted in an In- crease of from 14 to 22', in pro- duction. A similar survey In Great Britain showed average produc- tion to be Increased from 12% to 15', when music was played from an hour to an hour and a half, hut there were exceptional cases where tadory increases at high as 2'1'i were recorded. Different types of music were found desirable according lo the work being done in the plant. For example, at the John Infills Co. In Toronto. extensive experiment was made. As a leniilt. because of the high noise- level of the ma- chines, it was decided to line utriiifc music exclusively. The w.illzes of Jnhaini Strauss proved the most popular. In the Small Klwtrlc Motors plant at Leaside military marches and brisk music seemed better nulled to local con- ditions.

Boy Scout training is so valu- able for boys later going into mili- tary service, that Col. G. C. M. (irler, head of Canada's Army Ca- dets has urged boys who join the Cadets to retain their membership in the Boy Scouts. So much of the training In the Scouts, he said, is what we want to have the Cadets receive. Col. fjrier, incidentally, was one of the first Boy Scouts in Canada, being a member of one of tha earliest Scout Troops In Toronto. He is a son of Sir Wylie Grier, the eminent Canadian art- ist. * A Winnipeg Wolf Cub, Gordon Larson found a tin in which was stuffed $400. He turned it over to the police who located, the owner.

Finland Is Vassal State Of Germany The story of the relations b*- twetn Finland and America is the ttory of a frustrated love affair, *ayi Dorothy Thompson. Ever since the last war we have adored Finland as the little country v. hich always paid its debts. But w> tjuickly forpot that Finland had knottier debt a debt to Germany, a military and political debt. Thx' military development of Finland was made by Germany. German engineers built the Man- nerlieim Line, and German gen- erals instructed the Finnish army ami for two generations Finland was a military outpost for Ger- many. In other words, Finland \a a German vassal state and, like it or -not, those are the fact*. Approximately 12 pounds o-f niaugranese go into each ton of steel to eive- it sirenjrth and workability.
