J> I SAMPLE COPY ON REQUEST A Sunday Evening in a Canadian It is Sunday evening in a large military camp in Eastern Canada. Our civilian duties have made cessary for us to remain' in ^during the week-end. From Monday until Friday ing we have watched these young Canadian soldiers hustle and bustle through the battle manoeuvres and have seen them participating in ath­ letic games—enjoying movies and . concerts. We have felt and seen the excitement of preparing for week-end leave by the fortunate ■ones but now it is Sunday and there are still thousands of men in Camp. • Sunday is a different day in army camp, even when one is gaged in the grim business of war. A few restless fellows are wander­ ing around, munching at chocolate bars or eating ice cream cones, many are sitting in small groups, relaxing and carrying on quiet con­ versations, but the majority seem to .be engaged in that well-known pas­ time of letter-writing. Hundreds of letters on this particular Sunday will be written to mothers, wives, . sisters, brothers, sweethearts and friends throughout the Dominion of Canada. In spite of the -a very warm July ,lads are enjoying ping-pong and the of the ball as it is rapidly passed back and forth across the net, is intermingled with the continuous hum of -the electric fans. Yes, it is ■Sunday and the boys, are thinking of home and loved ones. Suddenly, very’- quietly and soft­ ly. from the open door of the chapel which seems to be a feature of all .

Fens and .pencils stop their steady flow across the -pages, heads are raised from it ne- camp even- the an en­ extreme heat of day many of the a quiet game of continual “ping” writing desks, ice cream cones and chocolate bars are hurriedly finish­ ed, the ping-pong balls cease rever­ berating against the bats, half-fin­ ished letters are folded and care­ fully placed in tunic pockets, caps in to file around piano, tq overflowing gests moving where many hundreds more may be accommodated. Small groups of fellows who have been sitting out­ side the hut are attracted by the I full-throated chorus and they, too, join the group in the auditorium. A young, fresh-faced lad with the markings of a well-known Canadian Regiment on his tunic volunteers to play the piano, thus releasing the “Y” man to lead the singing. The young pianist later told us that he was organist in his home-town church and that his father served in France in the last war with the same regiment to which he was now attached. Like his Dad, he hoped to win a commission in the field. For one hour we listened to those clean-cut Canadian lads raising their voices in songs of reverence and dedication. A camp chaplain join­ ed in the service and brought the boys a very appropriate message. It was a real inspiration to us as we sat in that Y.M.C.A. auditorium on a beautiful Sunday evening and realized the fine type of young men that we had, in our Canadian Army, and the same would be equally true of our Sailors, Airmen and Merchant Marines. - No doubt the lads finished their letters to loved ones at the conclu­ sion of the Sunday evening sacred sing-song but we are sure, that dur­ ing that hour* they found an outlet .for their inner feelings. With hands, the soldier boys start into the chapel and gather the “Y” Supervisor at the Quickly the chapel is filled and someone sug- to the auditorium CLINTON AIR SCHOOL IS BUSY PLAGE Clin- Cliff new from the day.

Collie passed away at her home on the South East Boundary Sunday evening after a short illness. Mrs. Collie was in her 89 th year and was the former Sarah Wood, daugh­ ter of the late James Wood and Wil­ helmina Rae. She was born in Elma township March 2, 1'853, and was married July 11, 1881, at Moth­ erwell to James Collie, who died in 1916. After their marriage the couple lived in Fullapton township until 11 years ago When Mrs. Collie moved to Usborne township. She was a member of. Roy’s United church. Surviving are two daugh­ ters, Catherine E. Collie, Kirkton, and Mrs. Harold E. Ruston, (Mary B.), Usborne ther, James, grandchildren grandchildren. ter, six brothers and three sisters predeceased her. The remains rest­ ed at the home of her son-in-law, Harold.., Ruston, lot 2, South East Boundary, Usborne township, where a private funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at 2.30 o’clock. Rev. A. Rapson, Kirkton, officiated and interment was made in Kirkton Union Cemetery. making- thh toolh of war ; Take a passing look at an explo­ sive bomb- a 5 00 pound one. It it 36 inches high as it stands ou mid, and 13 inches across. It is made of cast steel, black apd for-, bidding in appearance, shaped much like the churns, seen in the country in (he old daya when dairy butter was an article of commerce, and before barrel churns were invented. Loaded with its proper complement of T.N.T. and amnfbnium nitrate, sealed, with the firing appliance and the directive fins attached, is not difficult to see in the eye the mind, the devastating power this' instrument of war produced Canadian plants. A filling plant is as clean as hospital ward. It is absolutely clean, The visitor wehrs clean rub­ bers provided by the plant. These rubbers are used for nothing else but walking on clean floors. Mat­ ches, lighters, and other trinkets are left behind when the visitor starts on his trip of inspection. The clothes of the workmen; are clean. They wear a standard uniform. The men leave their they leaye the trained to quiet, a place where mean loss of life and serious dang­ er to property,, carefulness becomes an ingrained characteristic. The enormous size of the plant, the ex­ tent of the operations, th© move­ ment of traffic in and out, gives a profound and lasting impression of the tremendous activity developed in Canada as. a result of the war. When the shells leave the factory where, they are made they are perfectly clean, At the filling .plant they are cleaned, again—they might have taken on some extran­ eous substance on the journey^They are then poured. This is done in several operations. A smoke box is.added. Then men who are watch­ ing the firing of these shells want to know where they hit. Smoke will prove the indicator. When the filling operation is complete, they are sealed, varnished, ready for shipment. They are stored in arsenals, ready for the journey to their final destination. When they explode on the field of battle they exert a pressure of 50 tons to the square in'ch. AH munitions plants have cer­ tain1 common occupy large buildings are large numbers shift—two shifts to the day in one plant. They are away from large business centres; but life seems to go on a good deal more calmly 'in a munitions plant or shell or bomb loading plant than in the ordinary busy hive of industry.. The' guns of Napoleon fired one shot-per half hour at Waterloo. The French 75’s in the Great War ran 20 to 25 per minute, aircraft gun fires T20 per minute. Time, which brought .these modi­ fications, changed- also the relative size of munitions plants from one war to another—put six men at work on the home front to one on the war front. These are the fac­ tors which have increased tremen­ dously the material contributions to this war in comparison ’with wars of the past. w « Provision MFM WANTFD4s>JH il, ff “H # IbIf T.o Work During Tomato Season, Beginning About August 15 Malse Applications tp UBBY McNEILL & LIBBY Chatliam, Ontario Applications from those engaged, in war industries will not he considered it ol’ of in a suits behind when plant.

Consumers are becoming more crit­ ical of this condition since fresh produce is being made more avail­ able, states W, R, Phillips, Division of Horticulture, Central Experi­ mental Farm, Ottawa. » The apple in,.its natural state is equipped with a. skin covered with a waxy surface which prevents loss of moisture to a certain extent. This is not adequate, however, under most storage conditions, particular­ ly under long time holdings, Up to the present time, many methods have been tried which would pre­ vent this excessive moisture loss through the skin of apples, but the most • promising devise tried at the Division of Horticulture is the moisthre-proof cellophane bag or liner. The cellophane used in these bags or liners has to. be strong enough to stand handling in storage as well as being equipped with a moisture proof laquer which will not slough off under moist condi­ tions. By test these conditions appear to be fulfilled by what is known as “450-M.A.D.T. Cello­ phane.” 8 When using cellophane for stor­ ing apples, another problem arises from the fact that, if a moisture- proof substance is used to retain moisture, gasses given .off by the fruit are also retained. This may .result in suffocation, bringing about severe damage to the apples. The main precaution, therefore, that must be taken if moisture-proof cel­ lophane is used commercially, is that the accumulation of carbon dioxide must be given due consid­ eration. As it happens the condi- ’ tions generated in . the cellophane, container are similar to, those of gas storage and are suitable to.' many varieties of apples, such as McIntosh, Northern Spy, Linda, Lawfam, Sandow, . and Cortland. With Cox and Orange Pippin a dif­ fusion hole must be used, Other var­ ieties should be thoroughly tested before.. moisture-proof cellophane is used. Retailers and household­ ers have commented favorably on the excellent crisp condition- of the fruit marketed in cellophane bags.

But reconnaissance planes had visited the vessel daily and British observ­ ers knew “almost the exadt num­ ber of rivets in her sides.” Last Thursday, .at first glance, the familiar hulk of the Battleship appeared to lie as usual under the netting, but a closer inspection show­ ed that a 530-foot tanker, with smaller ships at the how and stem, to indicate length, had replaced her.
