;RESULT' I S THE ,'SAME.
Figures issued by • the United. States De -
'p rtment of Labor show that' there have been
4,112 strikes since pearl .Harbor. A ,d this ins.
spite of the pledge by the :CIO- and AFL that,
there would beno strikes in wartime;
These strikes involved '1,250,053 workers
and in man-hours idle would total 48,086,88d.
3n that time more than 2,000'F1ying Fortresses
or Liberators could have. been added to the
air strengthof the 'States, ' or more than. 'an
additignal' one hundred badly needed cargo •
vessels.
But 'these figures , do not: • tell the wliol.e
story at .that. A strike "bottleneck" in a' small
_-#actory supplying comphnent parts,.could
iously'slow up production in major war plants.
The Allied air ,armada is doing an import-
ant job' nightly over Europe in crimping. Ger-
many's .war production. Strikers . in United
States 'are achievih_ a similar .result minus

_..._�.DELLVERY QRDER STILL IN ,EFFECT
Rules and regulations, governing ,the con-
ducting
of a retail ,business, are so numerous
that some . of them are ' likely to, be forgotten,
• wh'ile in other :.cases•, an "easing up" in • the 'ob-
servance of. -certain regulations. is liable : to • re-
sult.
This appears to have been the' case re=
specting delivery of 'goods, for the • Wartime
dices and Trade Board draws attention -to, and
stresses,, the fact that `'`no; retailer shall deliver
or .cause' to be delivered any goods to any, con-
sumer unless the total value of the goods so
delivered, , . including. the : value of any goods
cd to sueh :eo^Miser—®�t.
other consumers, is' $1..00 or'over"..
Certain exceptions , .include fresh fruits or
vegetables, bread, bakery products, milk, dairy'
products, eggs, meat or fish (other than canned
products: thereof), lard and shortening - ,
so .his', order does not --apply
• .... ,.... T where goods .are ..
too bulky or too heavy.ta be,earried by the
consumer, but there are few commodities to,
•day, bought in. less than $1.00 quantities, that
can't be tucked und.er • the arm, and carried
home.
Neither ,does this order ;apply to a .con-
sumer, who by reason of illness or othe dis-
ability, .unable to take'possession,of the goods
at the retailer's - place of business.

"THE •RAMBLER"
This week •The Ramble'r wishes
to take you. through that part of
the province of Nova Scotia
which leads you, south from. Truro
the great crossroads of the prov-
ince to the Annapolis Valley.
Most of you. maybe haven't paid
much attention to the matter but
its a pretty good het you're we ar
xnngg 'a suit of underwear 'made in
Truro, if not now you already
have for its a great place to have
° ; one made and' most everyone has
had one from there ,at` sometime
or another. Just like 'North Bay
' is to Ontario --railroads so Truro
Is to Nova Scotia: If you ,want j
to go anywhere you go there to
start so today we head southwest
to Windsor. That name's familiar
to you readers; so, are. many of
the names to be found in'the pro-
. wince: TO add to the confusion
you • Will find a duplication and
even a greater multiple of the
same name, but because they are
in a different . county they get
away with it. It is,therefore write
influential element, . is' largely
Scotch and, since the Scotch were.
always limited in the names they
used it is quite understandable
why the duplication occurs:!,
Well now, we were headed for
Windsor. The route keeps close"
to the shores of the Bay of Fundy.
Of course everybne knows this
is the, place. where .the highest.
tides in the world exist. At one
point they rise and fall twenty
eight feet. This of course • is,
where a narrows exists and .the
tremendous pressure by the
larger body of water following up,
causes the extreme tidal condi-
tion. • .
I had the pleasure while en -
route to have 'as my travelling
cornpanion the Capt. • of the Pro-
vast,,who is in Charge of embark-
ation work on the Alantic region.
He was a most interesting in-
dividual. His conversation could
not but impress one of the im-
portance of the sealed lips slo-
gan, which I can assure you real-
ly means something in this part

s onto say be _ told of the great.
work being done,in a quiet man-
lier, which is little appreciated
i
going or you may end- up' at the
, wrong place. As you may- already
know, the population that is the

by those whose lives are not in-
fluenced by the -sea.
Having arrived at Windsor we
set our course eastward and thru
the famous apple orchard dis:•
trict-of the Province. It is a sight
Tong . to be remembered tb see
the ,hundreds of acres of apple
trees in' blossom. '
These folk not only have .,..a
beautiful valley, ,the farm build-
ings were much better kept than
in any area •so far Seen in the
province which would indicate
that it was a type° of farming
which paid dividends. The sight
reminded me of the Beaver Val-
ley in • the Georgian Bay distriet.
In the hearof this area we came
to Ken:tville which is a' very beatt-
tif ul place with "a lot of fine
homes. I aril told that in peace
time a blossoi'n week is held with
great carnipvals ,up arid down the
Valley. My journey took Me thru
to Kingston and Middleton.
I had t'oleave the place at mid-
night, not that I ,had, to sneak
