"Oh, Dr. Hedway. I—I know exactly." She tried to her voice calm and even. “Didn’t know he was able to make calls yet,” said the doctor. “He didn’t have my permission." “Nor mine. He just went.” “Where was the call to?" “I can’t say." She had the truth about that, so she off-handedly. “I wasn’t in the patient called. Was it something important?" “Yes. Quite important, Mrs. Castler. “I’ve just had an emer­ gency call out into the country. I’m afraid it will take more person to handle Jack could go, he help I needed, been hard—but I badly." “Would it have to be another doctor?" “Not necessarily. Any one familiar with assiting around office. But I could think of no to call except your husband.” “I’ll be glad to go with you, Hedway, if you want me." “You, Mrs. Castler?" “I’ve helped Jack often,” she as­ sured him. On all kinds of cases. Wouldn’t I do?” “Excellently, if you’re willing to go. It’s quite a way from town. And it may take most of the night.” “I’ll be ready to go when you stop for me,” she told him. Then she hung up the receiver. Tonight she was Jack’s place—do the have done if he had he was out there, the darkness—she where. So she would A warm, glow of satisfaction filled her to know that she was capable of doing this—of helping some one who needed her. Hope had fallen asleep on her Dr. Bagci "T meals at this place cost me 40c but believe it or not, we had eggs, milk, chocolate bars, peanuts and as many cakes as we wanted. The lady in charge was from Montreal and very nice. After that I started out to do the lust has and has lion people, This will give yep some idea of its size. But in spite of this it is very easy to get around the city by the Subway and I really got around to all parts of it, There are a lot of Army and Air­ force girls, all Canadians, stationed here. Among the many places of in­ terest that I went to see were Buck­ ingham Palace, 10 Downing Street, Churchill’s home,* Trafalgar'Square, Piccadilly Circus, Berkley Square, Parliament Bldgs., Including Big Ben, I put a lot of time in at dances and shows, I was walking down Regent Street one day and noticed the sign of the Bposey & Hawks Uo, name should be familiar to i you, so J went' in and had a long talk with them. I also visited the ; Selmar Music Co., and of course the famous Beaver Club, I once again saw the changing of the guards at the Palace and heard the Grenadier Guards Band. I’d like to tell you more about the buzz-bombs but I’m afraid I might say too much. One thing though they’re coming over almost 24 hrs. a day. You may be walking down the street when the sirens go, so you do not immediately take cover but instead you wait until 1 you hear it. It sounds just like a I motorcycle and gets louder as it ' gets closer. If you think it is coming in your direction you run to get underground. If the motor stops be­ fore you get there it is about to go off and then there is npthing to do but throw yourself flat on ground and it sure is hard on uniforms, dropping anywhere, any rate none of them got me. had an experience that I won’t get for a while. I haven’t had mail since I left on my leave so one of these days I should be ,get- Dear Folks: I’ve got an awful lot to tell about this time. I’m not sure I get it all in one letter. I’ve been on a 7-days' leave I am now back at my station again I spent quite a bit of money but not as much as I expected and had a wonderful time except tor those buzz-bombs as they call them here. The reason I did not tell you about it before I went, was because I decided to go to London and thought you might worry .about the bombs. I have to admit, too, that now that it is over and I am back again it was a very reckless thing to do. Dozens of times in those seven days I had to run for a shel-jThat ter and several times during the night I had to leave my bed. When I get back home I’ll really be able to tell you what the people of London have had to go through. I got there Thursday abont4 in the afternoon and booked in to one of out’ Canadian Service Clubs which was a fine modern hotel taken over by the Y.M.C.A. for Canadians. The Guess that is about ail it’s safe to talk about in a letter and the rest will have to wait until I get back home again. Howard Klumpp, '“Plea.se,” Winnie held up a re­ straining hand, I just remember. Dr. Hedway had an emergency call. A doctor must get there as quickly as possible. He thinks he’ll neeC help. Will you go with him, Jack? You would be better than I.” “Of course.” Instantly lie was businesslike — professional, what of you two girls?” “You go with Dr, Hedway in his car, Katherine and I will drive back in our car." “Oh," wailed Katherine suddenly “I— I" “Get back in the car," Winnie told her quietly. “We must let them go on at once.” Winnie drove, with Katherine in the front seat by her, For miles neither one spoke, but sat beside each other, frigid and re­ served. Winnie wanted to say some­ thing; she felt that she should; but she could think of no words. What did one say, she wondered, to a girl whom one had just found out with her husband? What did the wife say to “the other woman?" She would not stoop to bitter, cutting accusations; she could not relax to the informality of small talk. She saw now in the semidarkness of the car that Katherine was far over on her side of the seat. And she knew, though she could not see nor heai' it, that the girl was weep­ ing softly. Suddenly she longed to lean over and comfort her—this girl who was trying to take her husband away. Huddled against the car door, so small and dark and appealing, she appeared anything but a treacher­ ous woman. Indeed she seemed only a small girl who was very, very un­ happy over what she had done, “I’ll take you over to your own home tonight," Winnie said simply. “Please. If you will." Katherine’s voice was small—almost a whisper. Gently Winnie took Hope arm and shook her. “Wake up, darling. Wake Slowly Hope rolled over bed. Then blinking ily, she sat up. “Why, Winnie!" she exclaimed. “I must have gone to sleep with my clothes on! How funny.” Wearily she crawled off the bed and started for the clothes closet. “Guess it’s time I did get them off, isn’t it?" “No, Hope. Don’t undress yet. I'm going to take you over to Aunt Jane’s to spend the night. She still has her light on, so I know she has not gone to bed." “But, Winnie, why?" “I have to leave again this eve­ ning. Jack can explain to you in the morning. And he has gone with Dr. Hedway on a call and may not be back until morning." “But I can stay here until you get back.” “I’d rather you went over to A.unt Jane’s, darling. Please, Hope, hurry and comb your hair.” Sleepily the .girl did as she was told, a puzzled expression on her face. When they reached Jane Mor­ ton’s door, Winnie knocked. “Come on in!" some one called in a high, irritated voice. “It’s Winnie and I-Iope," she call­ ed, as “You’re “For around white from her a pretty time to come calling!" “Aunt Jane, may Hope stay here all night?" “Hope stay here all night? Why? “Jack and I are both going to be gone until very late and I don’t like to have her stay alone.” “All right. But it does seem you could have sent her over earlier. You’ll have to make up your own bed, Hope." “Oh, of course, Miss Morton. And good night, Winnie. I think it’s silly though, to think I can’t stay home alone.” “Good night, darling." For one moment she held the slim girl in her arms. Then reluctantly she let her go. “Be good." Turning, she walked swiftly away. The 10.30 train whistled just as Stanford’s two doctors drove into town. “Somebody," exclaimed Dr. Hed­ way dourly, “faked that call. We’ve been all aver the country and if there’s been a sick person, we’d have found him,” “The fellow said he was Jay Brown when he called, didn’t he?”’ “Yes. But you see it couldn’t have been lie. We found Brown as well as you or I, and sound -asleep in his bed.” tell me I’m chai’ming,” calmly. not?” Dr. Hedway at her, “You are Don’t asked why down you know.

Then she him, “Do you know much W'innie “But smiled charming, very big and brown, your skin looks like pale pink satin, and—” “Really,” she said. Stop, I shall get home." “Do you find ing?" Wouldn’t any “Jack." He murmed the name us though in sudden meditation. Then, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Castler. Forgive me.” “Of silence asked about this case?" “Only that it’s a hurry call you mind riding this fast?" “Not at all." “Can you see the time?" “Nine-thirty.” At her words, he pressed down harder on the gas, until they were spinning along at a rate that made conversation difficult. “Look ahead!" cried Winnie sud­ denly. “You’d better slow down! I think I see some one out in the road waving at us!” “Stalled car,/’ muttered Hedway. “They’re trying to flag us. Shall we stop?" “We’d better. They may need help.” The figure in the road—that of a man—stepped aside as near. Hedway put on and his car slid to a stop car that was stalled. Then in the road walked up to Hedway’s side of the car. looked over and saw her. he gasped. “Winnie! going . to take work he would been here. But somewhere, in did not know go in his place.

So—the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has given special attention to the production of these garments. The problem has not been so much one of a lack of raw materials, but of getting the raw materials (wool, cotton, rayon), spun into yarns—and then • knit into garments. Canada has never produced all the wool, cotton and rayon yam she requires. We"”’5 have always had to get a substantial part of our requirements from other countries, even in peace­ time. But since the war, there has been an acut$ shortage of underwear yams everywhere. There has been a. greatly increased demand in addition to production difficulties. The efforts of the Board to meet the problem are given below. THE INCREASED DEMAND RESULTED FROM Extra buying . . . Perhaps too many people wanted to be “on the safe side." Huge demand for underwear by Armed Forces. V Manufacturers not pre­ viously making children’s underwear were induced to go into its. production. An of all the Board found out the kind and additional 600,000 garments year from these sources. '/Negotiations were conducted with production authorities in other countries for supplies of yarn to Canadian knitters for use in children’s underwear. •/Primary cotton mills were required to divert spinning facilities from fabric manufacture to the spinning of underwear yarns. ■/Arrangements were made through National Selec­ tive Service to direct more labour to the underwear mills. VA special campaign was launched to enlist part time workers. •/Distribution to retail stores was organized to en­ sure equitable supply to all areas. The greatly increased supply of children’s underwear resulting from these effoits is shown by the relative sixes of the figures below. 1942 1943 1944 tyw cant pet M pw aaMt to cwmtcme qkc wM da ~ tw& ____________ _____________ II.........
