Would be. well for Canada to see

With food production , for what
has been done to enable the ba-
con ration to be' kept'esteady, The
„British . people .are. a- little tired
of the . monotony of, the .ration'
and.. would like .to hay
panded instead of
asking our peo-
ple to pull in their belts. .`The
one .thing that gives pus Concern
in the .-rationing -is . bacon or
hogs", , -said Col Lleweliin: "I
know • how difficult it is to keep
Up,,hog production in Canada, 'but
if we cannot . get, more than 450,
000,060 pounds. •next 'year, then`
the' ration. will . eventually have
to be cut fror'n .4 to 3 ounces.,The
British . people 'deserve wellof
the world for the way they stood

50th Anniversary for C.P.R,.'s Famed Chateaa Frontenaco
. .. . ..
TOWERING up from the most
b"titstanding. 1o$atiori in Quebec
on the' cliff which overlooks the .St.
Lawrence • Riyer, the Chateau . Fron-
tenac, o� of the Caniidian Pacifie
Rai1w1f Company's° country -wide
chain of "grand hotels" •celebrates its
50th anniversary. on Decr:mber 17,
1943. Built on the spot where once-•
rose the Chateau St. Louis, official
residence of early French govemors
and in a city where sea lanes and rail
lines converge, the great hotel is one
of the best khown in the world.
As the above !pictures. illustrate,
today's Chateau. Frontenac (inset),
.with 723 guest rooms, is much en-
larged over the 1893 hostelry (main
picture) •;hieh started the Company's
moVe into the ,coast-to-eottst hotel
field. In 1898-99 the first additiod,
the Citadel Wing, was made to the
original structure. Since • then' the
Mont Carmel Wing in 1908-09, the
St. Louis Wing in 1920-22 and the
Central Tower, frorit 1920-24, have
been added, with further major im-
provements being made in 1026.
Some of the .additions called for
marvels of planning such as the 'ex-
cavation 'of more than '40,000 cubic
yards of rock from a space entirely
surrounded by adjacent structures,
which continued in full operation,
therebyreducing the use of blasti. g
to the minimum. Masonry on the
tower was completed during the
Winter and often storms and high
winds made it impossible to work.
Very few hotels anywhere have
had their royal suites as busy as the
Cheitemt Frontenac, • which has
housed in. its day King Georve V;
Their Majesties, Bing Ge'orge VI'
and Queen Elizabeth, . during the
Royal Visit of 1939; an4,goverhors
general of Canada and their consorts
from the Earl of Aberdeen down to
the F,;rl of Athlone.
With all this in its 50 -year back:- •
grdnnd of distiegtrighed service it
still remained for August of 1943 to
bring its greatest hour to the Cha-
teary Frontenac, whieh is managed
by B. A. Neale, and under the direc-
tion.of R. F. Mathews, general man-
ager of hotels. Last 'August it was
for 18 days the Very "nerve Centre"
of the Quebec Conference as Prime
Minister 'Winston Churchill and
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt •
met in the :Ancient Capital with
Prime . in,
W. L. Mackenzie
King.
IT TAKES nearly three pounds
of gasoline to deliver one pound

NEW INFORMATION MAN
WAS STUMPED'.'BY UNO.
It happened years ago but only
.just now has Archie Hepburn,
one of the eiperts in -the inform-
ation bureau of the Canadian.Na-
tional Railways at Winnipeg, ad-
mitted to one occasion on which
he was completely stumped. Act-
, uall.y, it . was -,24 years, ago whep
;Mr', Hepburn, with- considerable
knowledge of the East and fur-
ther knowledge gained during
railway construction work in the
West. undertook the information
sk at .Winnipeg. ; During the
fir nightthere was a telephone
call: •
"When can 1 - get a train to
Uno"? queried the voice. -
"Where are yougbing madam?''*
' asked Mr. • Hepburn•.
`-`iJ`n•o».
"I don't know. Tell me where
you are going
"Uno," shrieked the angry
voice. "Why :don't you have a
man there 'who knows' some-
thing?"
"They do, madam, but just now
he is out to supper. Can you call
.again later?"
After hanging up th'e receiver,
Mr. Hepburn checked the ti=me
table and to his surprise found
Uno located between Rivers and
Melville.. Later on the rnatterr
was explained in a manner sat -
'factory.• to the good lady who
had called and the episodeter-
xriiated in a hearty la ,.uh .
