A. T. COOPER RCAF ASKS FOR THE CITIZENS' HELP Mysterious doings were taking place' in a German town. The citizens obser- ved strings of" trucks rumbling through the streets of the outskirts. Travellers reported that there was in- tense activity on a nearby farm. Hun- dreds of soldiers were being 'trans- ported in, and large quantities of tar- paulined cases. True to human nature, the townspeople were consumed with curiosity, and tongues clacked endless- ly, in efforts to find out what was being done. For many ni,onths the stalk and the inquiry continued. One year later no' one knew any more than on the day the movements were first observed. Then occurred a reverse r1 movement, and the -men and equip- ment was as secretly moved ' away. The German military authorities had 8' trained a thousand man on a secret trade, and only they knew' the sub= ject, the number of men trained, the results and the progress made. One thousand men had been virtually im- -- prisoned for one year. With danger- ous and denial :to efficiency, a ff v German ,, the men of every social privilge, se- crecy was completely preserved, by the stern uncompromising practice of Nazi -ism, 'trusting, in no one. At' the same time, In"Clinton, On- tario, a similar movement was laun- ched, But•deferring to the principles of democracy, and remembering that airmen are human beings even in war time, the personnel of the air force e the permitted to lean r anon were station camp to visit the theatres, their wives, their friends and to enjoy many of the privileges of peace time. A. great trust was handed to 'these airmen, ancl• to the citizens of the towns and cities adjacent to the camp. A very very great trust. A trust that there was not one airman nor one citizen who would deliberately make use of these liberties to convey information V to the enemy. There was a further trust—that neither w?uld they betray Canada and the war cause even by INNOCENT action. Security utas dis. cussed •on the station. How far could the airmen and the citizens go in dis- cussing intriguing mystery of what was going on? .. How much could the airmen tell their wives and their sweethearts, and their barber, and their acquaintances? The answer was emphatic--- THEM' SHOULD NOT AND COULD NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE STATION.

Mr. Chas Falconer no- ticed' that the windows in one or two of Wt 'R. Jowett's cottages had been broken last week but • between Friday and Sunday great damage had been done to ten of the cottages. In some of them it was impossible to step for 'broken glass •ancl dishes and every- thing that could be thrown about ad- ded Apples were ded to the confusion, scattered about freely. • McVittir s, Jones and Foiston's cottages in the Grove had also been damaged in vary- ing degrees—some drily the windows broken,, rubber boots and other artie- les thrown outside. The Provincial Police investigated on Monday and found that cottages in Deer. Lodge Park (owned by L. Brock of Byron) The Burch cottages in the Bayfield Highlands and the Willitts, Duncan and McAllister cottages had come in for similar treatment. Only one - of the cottages showed evidence of hav- ing been occupied. On Tuesday:Mrs. L. W . Burch came from Detroit and in attempting to clean 'up her summer home, found a worn air force.u li form in a chest in the cellar which suit- case, A. fat ecu some s ed p crus to case, a suit of clothes belonging Mr. Burch, silver, two large and an air to s an axe and • ncl valuable wrenches, marauders rifle were, missing.. ,The mars had slept in the beds, used the towels etc. blackened all kitchen utensils by cooking over fires built on the con- crete floor of the basement, damaged thirty jars of jam and canned goods, and just to be sure no one else would use provisions left in the cottage by Mrs Burch, they had mixed sugar and salt and put soda into a pound of eoffee. Cigarette butts were in evidence everywhere and the beddinb and linen in an undescribable condi- tion. Jam had been emptied into a drawer full of clean linen. Great dam- age was also done to McAllister's cot- tage, Altogether it must have been a big celebration. It will cost the own- ers hundreds of dollars to repair the damage and replace broken articles. Two youths who were known to have been in the vicinity on Friday evening were taken into custody at Southam- pton by the Provincial Police on Tues- day and are said to have confessed to all the depredation. They occr,pied Burch's cottage from Friday night to Sunday.

The Canadian National Rail- ways operate two laundries which do a big job in cleaning but they "won't wash clothes." Furthermore, they use Harrison & Skinner funeral home, no soap, starch, not even water, nor London, at 3.30 o'clock Tuesday after- noon. Rev. A. A.Trumper conducted the service. Interment was trade in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Civilian Defence Gracious permission has been grant- ed to Civilian Defence Committees to carry on at their own expense, but presumably there will be no more blackouts of inland cities and there- fore no effective way for the C.D.C. members to advertise the patriotic work they are doing. Some of the committees may find it pleasant to revert to their pre - blackout type of meeting. One group of enthusiasts in a Toronto neighbor- hood formed a committee to study air. raid precautions long before the Pro- vincial Government became jittery about the possibility of bombings. Meetings were held weekly in the play -room of the warden's house and for the first few weeks the ,members listened carefully to lectures on fire- fighting and first aid. Then one week, the speaker of the evening was .pre- vented at the last minute front com- ing. members, who had assembled at some personal inconvenience, the host sug- gsted' that they have a game of poker, and when the meeting finally adjourn- ed a two -thirty next morning all vot- ed that it had been the most success- ful ever held. 1t was no long before it was agreed, informally, that the lecture period ,tight become shorter, He could have donne no more harm had he deliberately sent a letter to .Ber- lin. WITO WAS THAT PERSON?. IT COULD BE YOt WAS IT YOU? is there any after ironing, These are "dope" laundries, and this particular "dope" has nothing to do with drugs. "Dope" in this instance, is the com- bination of oil and cotton waste used by railways to lubricate the journals of locomotives, freight andpassenger cars so as to provide easy running and, prevent "hot boxes". The material is packed in the journal boxes, the waste acting as a wick to feed oit to the bearing surfaces. After a per- iod of service this pacicing is removed from the jourdal boxes and sent to the laundries at Montreal or Winnipeg to be reclaimed. The oil is cleared, the waste cleansed and put to us again, the process affecting substantial dol- lar savings for the National Rail- ways each year. E. R. Battley, Chief of Motive Pow- er and Car Equipment, said that for the first ten months of 1943, 0,547,200 pounds of "dope" had been treated, an increase of 1,827,910 pounds over the corresponding period of 1942, Depen- ding on the size of the journal box from seven and a half to thirteen pounds are required for a packing. Hot boxes remain a problem to all railways awaiting the invention of a permanent preventative. H.R.H.
