The Wingham Advance-Times, 1943-09-09, Page 7Chateau Frontenac Houses Momentous Conference TONG famous as a meeting place j--d for world travellers in Quebec City-where sea lanes and rail lines converge-the stately Chateau Frontenac, one of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's finest hotels was taken over by the Govern- ment for one of the most important international gatherings in history when Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King conferred there on the conduct of the war. Dominant feature in the landscape of the Ancient Capital, as illustrated here towering above historic t Lower Town, • the Chateau accommodated the staffs which prepared the material for the decisions taken and provided the main assembly and committee rooms. Helping to house the leading figures at the conference, who are shown in the insets, was the Citadel which is on the extreme left of the picture on the same level as the Chateau Frontenac.

A few personal impressions might be more appropriate even at this date. After a close-up view dur- Canadian business and industrial firm5. There are 25 subjects, ranging from a fishing scene in the Maritimes to a winter panorama on the Prairies, and there will,be 300 reproductions of each -7500 in all. Every "men's" =is (not officers') will get a set or por- tion to suit space available, A swell idea, and while it will create nostalgia on the part of the boys, will they ever enjoy the homespun scenes, The art- istry in each is superb, • C4* Snappiest parade (of many) seen in, Ottawa was on a past Sunday when the girls of the C.W,A,C., put on a parade on the main thoroughfare. Oddity, but really good, was the girls' own pipe band, with the pipers wear- ing Tarn 0' chanters. The girls can sure make those bags bulge with music. * * Here's a 64 dollar question. Is there any place'in the British Empire where the flag is never lowered, flies constantly? Only one, at Lucknow in India. Has flown ever since the Siege of Lucknow ,by royal decree, I am told. • * The modern age of transportation. Looking out of my window in the New Supreme Court Building at the Peace Tower I see in one glance a big trans- port plane overhead; on the Ottawa River below a tug pulling a 'big boom of logs to the pulp mill on the Hull, Quebec, side; a speedboat and a row- boat; on' the 'bridge crossing to Hull can be seen at one and the same time a passenger train, a street car, a load of hay, cars and trucks passing to and fro, as well as boys on bicycles, • * Announcement here of the new Joint War Aid Committee, United States - Canada, is important. Its decisions will probably have much to do in directing the course of action of Canadian and American cabinet directing bodies in the ,disposition among United Nations of vast quant- ities of war supplies, running into many billions of dollars. If any of the United 'Nations asks for tanks, planes, guns or wheat, the question of whe,re that supply is to come from is, of course,,, most important, It is a possibility that the committee might be expanded and continued into the post-war era when hungry nations of Europe will seek sustenance from the two greatest food storehouses of the world-Canada and the U.S:A, * * * * Farmers of Eastern Canada are again urged to buy oats from the west now and take advantage of existing transportation facilitieS and the sub- sidy which is on for buying, feed grains for storage, There may have been a little difficulty lately in getting west- ern barley because offerings to date have not always been equal to the demand. What is desired is a continu- ous flow of feed grains to eastern DONALD B. BLUE Experienced Auctioneer Licensed for Counties of HURON & BRUCE All Sales Capably Handled. R.

Talking of barley the 1943 carry-over is an all time record, placed at .69,253,707 bushels compared with /0,908,001 in 1942. * 44 Not a fish story, Despite the drag of war, production a the -Nova Scotia fisheries reacred the highest point in history of the province in 1.542, the marketed value. being $15,297,444 a 21 per cent increase over previous years, WHEN OUR SOLDIERS MARCH BACK HOME When Johnny comes marching home after this war it is going to be much eas'rer for him to beat his bayonet in- to a monkey wrench than it was for the veterans of other wars. Through a trades-training program young men of the Canadian army are being fitted for peace as well as for war. At the Vocational Training Schools of Military District No. 1 soldiers who have shown aptitude In mechanical, culinary or clerical lines are given ex- tra tuition in these subjects so that they will be more valuable to the army. At the same. time the lessons they learn will be effective weapons iti their post-war rehabilitation, Selected personnel from training centres in the ,district are given cour- ses in motor mechanics at the garages of John Labatt Ltd. and International Harvester Co. in London and at the Chrysler Corporation and Ford Com- pany of Canada in Windsor. A school of Cookery in Windsor teaches the men who have ambition along this line how to plan and prepare meals for large numbers of men. Two classes at the Beal Technical School, London, teach the men general typing and mil- itary procedure. A new' branch of training which comes under the direction of V. T. S. is the Canadian Army -University Course. Sixty recently-enlisted men in the active army 'between the ages of 17-20 who have the necessary educa- tion and military qualifications are at present taking basic training at Chat- ham. When the university term opens they will be given a course in Algebra, analytical geometry, calculus, physics mechanics and heat, physics electric- ity and magnetism, engineering, Eng- lish, radio physics, descriptive geom- try and surveying at the University of Western Ontario, London, • Officer Commanding the Vocational schools for M. D. 1 is Major IC A. Ross, E. D., who has been in charge of administrative duties at No. 1 Dis- trict Depot, London, since 1940. Prior to assuming command of V: T. S. he was adjutant at the Depot. .He began his military career with the Ontario Mounted Rifles and later transferred to the First Hussars as Squadron corn- mander. He was with this unit when it became the Sixth Armored Regi- the.se hazards. Chimneys should be" searched brick by brick, for cracks,. breaks, rotten mortar, soft bricks and open joints. Be positive that no joist beam or other wood is set into the brickwork. Furthermore, no chimney is safe that has an offset, that has a "jog" or step in it. It must be straight in order ;hat the draft be not baffled, other- wise sparks and soot will lodge in the' chimney or the pipes. Unused pipe openings closed with paper or wood convert a house into a death trap. Needless to 'say that all, such holes should be closed with metal, asbestos or cement, Any wood within four inches di the chimney or the pipes' should be covered with asbestos. ts It has been proved that the height of a chimney above the roof has an important bearing on safety. On rid- ged or peaked roofs it should extend at least two feet beyond the peak, and. on flat roofs at least three feet. No expense should be spared to make our chimneys, stoves and pipes safe. Isn't it a fact that a few dollars spent on the work now may save thousands later- and penhaps save life itself?

He is the typical Happy Warrior; he simply radiates greatness, leadership, inspires ocnfidence. You can see his face for hours afterwards. Here is a man in whom one feels one can trust our destiny, that of our children. You should have seen his face when making that statement about being "everlastingly angry" at those who think the Four Freedoms of the At- lantic Charter are unattainable. And his broad shoulders seemed to reach up into his tanned, healthy face and jutting jaw line when ,he said, "We are going to get rid of these outlaws this time". I thought it, a fine gesture that at tthe luncheon at Government House invited to meet Mr. Roosevelt were Gordon Graydon, Opposition Leader in the House, Mr. J. Coldwell, C.C.F. leader and J. H. Blackmore, Social Credit leader, among others promin- ent in our political life. Because statistics show increased butter production in Canada, there are some who complain about' the ration allowance, Quite appropriately this week one of the local papers dealt editorially with this matter pointing out "overseas needs" is the answer. One item, for instance, the foodt par- cels going to our prisoners of war- 100,000 of them weekly-each includes a pound of butter, pound of dried whole milk, quarter . pound of cheese. That's only a part of the overseas re- quirements from Canada, * * In the office of J. W. G. Clark, director in chief of information for the armed services, the other day I was shown something which .your boys in the forces at home and overseas .will really enjoy-a series of paintings de- picting scenes in various parts of Can- ada. These were done in oils volun- tarily throtigh a committee of Canad- ian artists and then reproduced in silk screen, framed 30 by 40 inches, with the _cost being borne by well-known ment, He has as assistant Lieut. 3, C, Dale, former mayor of Harriston, Ont. In charge of the administrative staff and personnel at St. Luke Road Bar- racks, Windsor, which has recently been taken over by V. T. S., is Capt. D. W. Fleming of Windsor, When men complete their course at the International Harvester or the La- batt garage they are well grounded in practical motor mechanics and are able to diagnose motor trouble and make minor repairs. At these garages they have the advantage of all the newest equipment and the opportunity to do actual repairs under the supervision of expert mechanics. ONE OUT OF FOUR FARM CHIMNEYS ARE UNSAFE That one out of every four farm chimneys is .unsafe and liable to start a fire, is probably a conservative' est- imate. That practically all farmhouse fires are caused by defective chimneys or faulty heating equipment, is an ab- solute fact. With the long heating season just ahead, it behooves every one of us to check up on our chimneys, stove pipes and stoves at once. Most chimney fires start just below the roof, where they are not immed- iately noticed, where they have time to take a terrible grip, where they arc the hardest to fight. Here it is that mortar goes "rotten" and bricks go soft; here it is that a joist may have been carelessly built into the very chimney structure. Every chimney should have an opening in order that the chimney may be inspected for 6 14 19 27 YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION Our 25 Point Scientific ./tairiip., 4094 enables us to. give, you Clear, comfortable Vision FF.
