Says Canada Lagging The speaker cited the example of thepeople of Britain in look- ing after such problems and claim- ed laimed 'Canada lagged 'behind.. . The people of 'Britain, he said, had "more on the farms today than the day the war started. They have five and a quarter million men under arls. Canada, with a quar- ter of the population, would have more than a million and a quarter under arms if the seine proportion had been reached het e.

British Bells Ring Out In Victory Peals LONDON, Nos. 16—The church bells of the British Isles, silent since Dunkerque, pealed out again yes- terday to celebrate the victory of British acme in Egypt. British youngsters who never have heard the sounds of church bells—for their ringing has been reserved as the signal for invasion— Yesterday heard the chimes of West- minster Abbey, the measvumed tones of St. Paul's hell and the voice of St. Martinis-inrthe-Field, and in Scotland the notes of old St. Cuth- bert's, its the shadow of the great •rock of Edinburgh Castle. It was a sedate Sunday of rejoic- ing and thanksgiving during which people crowded into the smallest village parish churches aad into the great cathedrals. Ito soberness was not lessened by the silent voice of some of Britain's most fatuous bells, destroyed in enemy air attacks. No sound came from the fire - reddened remnants of St. Clements in the ,Strand, or from the slender tapered spires of St. Bride's in Fleet street or drom Sir .Christopher Wrens 'Masterpiece, the shattered wreck that was St. Panes', in Lon- don's Picadilly. By the K hg's order, Sunday also was .Civil Defense Day, set aside to comaneamorate the heroism of civil defense workers during the blitz. Thotuaands of these uniformed civilian units marched through bomub-scarred areas to cathedrals and churches. Detachments from all civil de- fense regions marched In Londonfs parade. The .King, the Queen by his side, tools the salute from the steps of St. Paul's. Behind a 'band playing "The Brit- ish Grenadiers," 1,500 men and woven from the bombed cities of Coventry, Birmingham, Southamp- ton Plymouth, Hull and a score of others marched past their Majesties lento the cathedral for special serv- ices. They were firefighters, wardens, nurses and' police from the 'bombed cities. Each detachment carried high a board bearing the name of the town or district it represented.

Elizabeth, but for such other great events as the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1508, the great Irish Battle of the (Boyne in 1690 and Lord Nelson's death et Trafalgar, in 1a05, issued from a tower which is all that remains of the church. Canadians Hear Peals Most of Canada's overseas troops heard Britain's church bells for the first time as old ringers in quiet parishes rang out the victory peal.

Veneer is a thin sheet of .orna- mental wood used as a surface to give beauty to the exterior finish of pianos, cabintet-work, panels, etc. It permits the use of exquisitely grain- ed rained woods from logs too costly to be employed in solid wood constructor The use of veneers is an, art which is nearly as old as .civilization itself. Examples of Egyption veneer work thousands of years old have been discovered and preserved. The popu- larity of beneers in ancient Rome is mentioned by the historian, Pliny. There are three general methods employed Poo ,obtaining veneers, and veneers are classified accordingly as sliced, sawn or rotarycut. Im 'slicing, the log is moved against a long Imile which :cuts off long nar- row strips 1.40' to LIS inch thlok. The sawn type of veneer results from moving a log against a very thin band or circular saw which cuts off strips 1-8 to 4'-16 inch thick. Sawn veneers are more valuable than sliced, for the wood fibres are not distim'bed• and the sheet is cap- able of being given a finer polish, The most ,common Method of veneer malting is the rotary process. This is the process by means of which the very large sheets of veneer are obtained. The log is held firmly in a lathe and made to tow against a sharp knife which planes off a thin con- tinuous sheet of wood, much like unrolling cloth from a bolt. It in possible to get paper -thin veneers by this method, 'with' thickness of from 140 to 1-100 of an inch. Plywood consists of three or more Beets of veneer placed so that the grain of each layer runs 'cross -wise to the grain of the next layer. These layers are ,glued 01' bonded togethed under heat and pressure. Suoh built- up stock combines great strength with lightness, and offers' the further advantage of resistance to the warp- ing that so oftentwists solid wood boards and planks out of shape. wit Ta WctirXbduy, NovemberStlt, 1942 (e ChavacTI This Winter Pre)te t t The Cooling System t ic ",twla11' Car 'With t t;� EV F A Tli.°AZEZ die Safe Non -corrosive Reliable Economical ORDER YOUR SUPPLY NOW. jo Hy rues was, Ont. ,,®,z.mm.,atarsmica..Mpox .m.S.m„.ore...m ,,atacaw Dr. J.
