PACIFIC FLEET
'A sweeping shakeup of the U.S.
Pacific high command, as a result
of the Pearl Harbor disaster, re-
suited in changing of commands of
the navy, army and air force, ac-
cording to announcements made
in Washington. Admiral hus-
band E. Kimmel was relieved of his
command of the Pacific fleet and
replaced by Rear-Admiral Chester
V. Nimitz„ chief of the navy's
bureau of, navigation, ABOVE
could be greatly increased," he stated,
"but we have always been up against
the problem .of preparing it for the
smelters, Salvage groups that have
slackened off the collection of foils
because they lack the voluntary help
for preparing it for the war industries,
should now intensify their work, and
ship the collections to Mrs, Cooke and
her committee. Such donations will
promptly become part of the second-
ary materials of war,
Old Gramophone Records
Another of the new salvage develop-
ments concerns old gramophone rec-
ords. The R. C. A. Victor company,
announces it will pay fife cents each
for cracked, broken and otherwise un-
wanted Victor and Bluebird records.
The price is F. 0. B. Halifax, Mont-
real, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Van-
couver,
In making this announcement, T. F.
Young, R.C.A., representative, point-
ed out that while there is nothing to
prevent individuals from taking their
own discarded records to local R.C.A.
Victor dealers, his company would pre-
fer to have the regular local salvage
committees gain by its need.
"We would prefer to have citizens
donate their old records to their local
salvage corps," he said, "so there
would be assurance that the money
raised' would be used for sorne•of the
war charities."
Salvage In B. C.
The national salvage drive is reach-
ing out into the most unexpected
places. The Red Cross of Claydon
Bay, B. C., a logging community of
200 peopje living on floating houses,
is organizing its own salvage cam-
paign, Its collections will be sent to
Vancouver on the Earle & Browne
Logging Company tug.
Salvage in Vancouver itself is very
active, "Make salvage 100 per cent"
is the new slogan of the salvage sec-
tion of the Vancouver Red Cross. It
has just distributed 80,000 paper bags
to Vancouver householders for collect-
ing small articles usually thrown away
in homes. The bags are about seven
inches wide, ten inches long, and a
foot deep, with handles.

HEALTH EDUCATION
IS VERY NECESSARY
"The whole future of public health
depends on education", says Dr, Gor-
don Bates, in an editorial on "Health",
organ of the Health League of Can-
Oda."
"People as a rule do not want to
be educated and ht most peopl'e's
Minds there is automatically set up a
passive 'resistance towards any attempt
new skill requires an effort which is
beyond the scope of the normal des-
ires of most of us. Even to read ser-
ious literature which will improve our
minds we find difficult because it is
so much easier to read light fiction
or the daily newspapers."
"Probably this frailty, common to
most humans, is largely responsible
for the slow Progress of civilization.
Life saving discoveries of science are
applied slowly and millions fall sick
and die as a result of our failure to
either disseminate sound information
or absorb knowledge, Millions of
money are wasted on the medical and
institutional care of the victims of
maladies which need never exist simp-
ly because the process of educating
the public seems to be too difficult
a task for us to approach."-
"The laboratory worker makes his
discoveries and his writings linger
long in the pages of scientific journals,
inaccessible except to the few. Since
our corporate attitudes are but the
reflection of our individual deficien-
cies, newspapers and radio alike too
often strive to soothe our jaded senses
and miss the God-given opportunity
of preaching the essential doctrine
that we are constantly penny-wise and
pound-foolish. The politician contin-
ues to spend the money of the•• people
who elected him on the obvious things
that previous government's have fin-
anced—hospitals and jails, roads and
schools, universities and insane asy
lums—with niore inmates in the latter
than in the former".
"The student of public health is
amazed at the apathy of his fellow
citizens. He sees how true was that
pertinent aphorism uttered so many
years ago by a self-sacrificing public
health leader who wore himself out
in the public service trying to make
his ideals come true."
"The facts as to the cost of illness
and as to the possibilities of 'preven-
tion are known but not sufficiently
well known to change a tragic picture
of unnecessary waste of life. Hence
the individualeglects his own health
and that of hid' family relying on the
doctor to cure if he falls ill and com-
munities build hospitals and insane
asylums instead of passing laws for
the pasteurization of milk and ap-
propriations for the payment of full-
time health officers."
GALLANTRY OF
SOUTH IN BATTLE
OF BRITAIN
Deeds • of Schoolboys Equal Highest
Traditions of. British Arms
by Guy Ramsey, Noted Fleet Street
Newspaperman
Over the cold, grey Northern sea,
a low, grey,-British ship was racing.
She was on patrol. The complement
were at their stations: at the guns, at
the engines, on the bridge. Far astern,
ever widening, the white wake, thresh-
ed foam by the propellors.
Unseen amid the heaving water, the
slim cylinder of a periscope pierced
the surface for an instant, then vanish-
ed. Soundlessly, a torpedo came slip-
ping through the waves. It struck the
ship with a crash like the crack of
doom, blowing a vast hole in her hull.
With icy dicipline, officers and men
prepared to abondon ship. But on the
bridge stood Sam Wild, a bugle-boy.
He did not leave even to get his life-
belt: he had not been ordered down.
Like Casablanca, the famous boy of
the eighteenth century—"The boy
stood on the burning deck whence all
but he had died"—that every British
child, learns about in history and
poetry, Sam Wild stuck to his post,
blowing the all as they were re-
quired.
He was bundled into a life-belt, and
he was saved .His commanding of-
liter wrote to his mother that he was
proud to have such a lad under his
command.
Down in the Welsh marshes, in the
town of Newport, Monmouthshire, a
lad of 15 named Michael Jones saw
an enemy bomber shot down. He saw
it cut a flaming arc across the night
sky, disintegrating as it dropped. The
bulk of it fell on a roof-top; some of
the debris fell into a tree. House and
„timber gegan to blaze,
He roused his 24-yearold brother
Erie, He dashed out and began to
shake the tree. He risked the flaming
wreckage falling on his head or hands,
He saved the tree, and, which was
more, saved the fire from spreading
into a conflagration as it caught
neighbouring timber,
Then, while Erie ran for buckets
of water, Michael trailed the nozzle
of a hose up to the roof of the house,
He walked steadily into the chocking
smoke and billowing flame, carefully
controlling and regulating the stream
of water that Eric was furiously
pumping from the ground, It hissed
and sizzled, gradually gaining the up-
per hand of the flames,
His promptness, his bravery saved
a street and, possibly, saved the town,
That is a story. of triumph; this is
a story of failure so superb as to be
almost equally triumphant.
Ronald. Else was aged 13: a boy
still at school, fond of games, fond,
too, of his parents. He was another
of the "military objetcives" hit by
Hitler's air force. His house, with him
in it, came down with a rush when
a bomb struck it full.
Ronald lay with both legs broken
and crushed under a pile of wreckage.
The rescue squads came and, while
they were scabbling and struggling
to get the boy loose, he was calmly
telilng them where to look for his
father and mother.
The squads searched. His directions
were so accurate that they found them.
They were both dead,
On the way to the hospital, Ronald
died too,
NO TIME LIKE
PRESENT TO CLEAN
SEED GRAIN
90 Seed Cleaning Plants Ready To
Aid Farmers In First Step Toward'
Maximum Crop Production Need-
ed In 1942
Keeping in mind that crops are the
raw material for the manufacture of
bacon, beef, poultry and dairy pro-
ducts and that Canada and especially
Ontario is being asked to greatly in-
crease production of bacon, dairy pro-
ducts and eggs for Great Britain, it
is absolutely essential that Ontario
farmers have maximum crop yields
in 1942, says John D. MacLeod, Crops,
Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ont. Dept.
of Agriculture, Toronto.
The first step in maximum crop
yields is good, clean and well-graded
seed and that step can be taken right
now. Ordinarly this is the slack sea-
son of the year for the 90 modern
seed cleaning plants conveniently lo-
cated through 0, the province and they
will have time to give the best of ser-
vice to farmers wishing to ha.vje their
reed grain for 1942 put in shape for
planting.
Mr. MacLeod and his assistants in-
spect these plants at least once a year.
They are equipped with modern mach-
inery for scouring, cleaning, grading
and separating of seed and are pre-
pared to give prompt service, he says.
During the past year these 90 plants
cleaned 1,008,713 bushels of seed
grain, and 4,324,754 pounds grass
seeds for farmers. In addition, plant
owners purchased 150,575 bushels of
grain and sold them for seed purposes.

Newest Salvage Wrinkles
Will. Stimulate Drive
For Waste Materials
OTTAWA:—After six months of
activity, Canada's great drive to re-
claim essential war materials is hit-
ting a mark that indicates its' value
as part of our war effort. Some new
salvage wrinkles have just been an-
nounced which will be another step
towards increasing thi's good work.
One of the new ideas concerns the
recovery of valuable tin, aluminum and
lead foils. It is an 'offer, by the Ottawa
Branch of the Canadian National Com-
mittee on Refugees, to prepare foil
from any part of Canada for the
smelters,
Unique Plan
Mrs, H. C. Cooke, diairman of the
Ottawa branch of this committee, has
a unique plan. "We will undertake the
cleaning, sorting and packing of all
kinds of foils sent to us form anyi part
of Canada," she says. "All we ask is
that any group collecting foil see that'
it is riot crushed into balls and wads,
when they donate it to its, It should.
be shipped in 10-pound lots. They
should address it to our committee
rooms at 453 Rideau St., Ottawa, We
will pay the freight at this end."
Asked to comment on this idea,
Williaitt Xftightley, salvage director,
said lie fully approved.
"We know that the salvage of foils
was "Using time and talent". Mrs.
