Yours very truly, (signed) W. D. Brooks It seems from a letter signed by A. L. Tosland, Major for Officer Administering Canadian Armoured Corps, that the third man, a private, has proceeded overseas. I do not think, therefore, that it is worth while following this up further as I have no doubt his reply would be in ’ similar vein to that which was received from the other two’ men concerned. These statements should be given whatever publicity you think fit in your local district, but I may add that ‘they are in line with those which have reached us and in any case we have never been able to find any justification; for the charges made. • As you know, the Red Cross does not maintain any huts, canteens or the like through which comforts might be ’sold in. any military' camp in the Dominion.

He learned a ■ lqt about the contribution young Canada is making to our war ©f’ fort, iron girls, busy Iron greatly from salvage activity. A letter just received from Louis- Marie Farent# 13»year-old French- Canadian Jiving at Sayabec, Quebec, is illustrative of the enthusiasm young Canada has for this phase of home-front war effort, Louis-Marie wants to help in the salvage drive. “Just -?how me how to go about it,” he says, “and you will see that my work-will be profitable,” Lduis-Marie realizes he is too. small to do much for the war effort. He says he has no money and that he is too young to Nevertheless, he.would like to bit in a different way. [ “You ean’t beat spirit like commented William Knightley, campaign supervisor, “That’s the stuff we want to make our drive a continued success?’ Louis-Marie concludes his letter: “W© are eleven children at hom© and we all love our beautiful Can­ ada and want to help it to be’ victor­ ious, even if it is by the humblest means. I offer, therefore, to collect all old aluminum utensils, scr'ap, iron, for war industries,” Louis-Marie, aS a ' collector of war salvage in his native Quebec will be joining a large troop of other young Canadian salvagers across' the Dominion. Some of the early returns from these eager war workers are astonishing. The report of the 35 school boys of Mount Albert,. Ontario, has just, reached salvage headquarters. Con­ centrating on metals and waste pa­ per, the lads sold $46 worth of salvage in May. In June they in­ creased this to $104. The money has been donated to the “Toronto Telegram’s” war fund. Equally successful young Canad­ ian salvage work has,been carried oh by the Keewatin, Ont,, Boy Scouts. They select ,a single sal­ vage item and concentrate on that for a month. So far they have col­ lected ymste Paper worth $32, rags worth $61, metals worth' $67, The metals was their June campaign. They assembled over seven “tons of all kinds through their own efforts.. These materials have gone back .in­ to Canada’s war industries. “The care, energy, enthusiasm shown by these young people are daily inspiration to Salvage Cam­ paign officials,’’ praised Mr. Knight­ ley. “They are helping to. win-to­ day’s war so they can help build to­ morrow’s world?’ Contact with this phase of- the .National Salvage . (Campaign* pro- ■ voked your reporter to enquire par­ ticulars concerning the value of iron and steel salvage. He' had .recent­ ly visited a hugS" ’Canadian war plant and had seen the great elec­ tric furnaces melting metal for .gun, barrels. The question brought a. .flood of striking -facts from the Salvage Drive supervisor. ■' ’* It turns out that the- contribu­ tion. made by salvaging steel and iron is most important. To donate an obsolete machine, or even \so small a thing as a couple of broken monkey wrenches to your local sal­ vage committee, is to help Canada save time, labor, money in the building of tanks, guns, bombs, ar­ mor plating for ships, hand gren­ades, and all the other devices of! war made, from steel and iron. I Th© Salvage Campaign supervis­ or went on to explain pome of the technicalities of Canada’s heavy- iridustry war production. Steel,’ he pointed but, may be made from iron ore, or from a mix­ ture Of iron ore 'Und scrap metal. The' more ' scrap metal used, the greatei* the amount of the smelter outputs* A smeitei’ turning out -2'0,- 000 tons of steel a week using iron ore alone can increase its output to 50,000 tons a week using iron ore and scrap.. , The hundreds of thousands of tons of scrap iron and .steel,' so far collected /by Canada’s National Sal­ vage Drive and turned over to in­ dustry have helped materially tp maintain the large flow of, this es-, sential material for war produc­ tion* - / Mr, Knightley also pointed Out how the collection of scrap metal from Canadian homes, garages, ' basements, workshops have saved labor. “If we had to depend entirely and a lot about the value of and steel salvage. Boys and all across this country are as beavers with salvage work, and steel smelters benefit f My, Editor; fKindly print that there is a to- mor going the round that my wife* has been drinking and fall over at Seaforth in the crowd on the Wh of July.’ - This is wrong as she hag; a weak heart and has been under the doctor’s care for over two* years and is liable to take these spells at any time especially if shp goes anywhere where there is ex­ citement, These rumors are spite work by two people.

This would have needed more skill­ ed miners; They have not been available in any large numbers, and' it would have been necessary to- transfer them from other indus­ tries?’ * , . -Canada’s National Salvage Cam­ paign has helped to conserve this-, , labor., and to' prevent dislocations attending large transfers of labor. s ”Noi‘ is this the end of the con­ tribution,” added the supervisor, “Last year Canada imported -over $13,0'00,600 worth of scrap iron and This required foreign ex­ change. ' Additional exchange waa needed foi; the purchase of vast­ quantities of ir-on ore. The Nation­ al Salvage Campaign, by collecting- i scrap metal,, helps to keep this ' expenditure of precipus foreign exchange to a minimum.” . These are the things the average1 Canadian does when he “saves scrap* to scrap Hitler,” concluded ,Mr. 'Knightley. To donate a quantity of metal yeally saves time, labor1, mon­ ey. ft helps directly to "build tanks ships, bombs, and other implements: ' of war.
