Orange Juice
For Gt. Britain
Concentrated oranges are to be
tried out in Britain.
A bottle no bigger than a cigar-
ette lighter will provide the equal
of a gallon of orange juice.
Samples have been brought by
Miss -Charlotte Raymond, of Mas-
sachusetts, a dietitian who has
specialized on the feeding of low-
income groups in the United
States.
Supplies of this orange concen-
trate for children and expectant
mothers could be tucked away in
the fuselage or tanks of aero-
planes, or, for that matter, in the
1nurtles of guns.
Vaughan President
Can. Nat. Railways
Robert Charles Vaughan was
born in Toronto fifty-seven years
ago. He began his railway career
shortly before his fifteenth birth-
day, starting at the bottom of
the ladder as messenger boy for
the C.P.R. In 1904 he joined the
Grand Trunk Railway and a year
later the Canadian Northern.
His keenness to learn and his
ability to absorb details of Rail-
road practice brought young
Vaughan one promotion after an-
other, until, in 1920, he was ap-
pointed Vice -President in charge
of Purchases and Stores for the
Canadian National Railways.
In 1939, the Government, rec-
ognizing his ability as an organ-
izer and executive, asked Mr.
Vaughan to serve as chairman of
the Defense Ptuchasing Board,
carrying all work of that tremen-
dously important body until the
Ministry of Supply was set up.
Mr. Vaughan was recently ap-
pointed President of the entire
Canadian National Railway Sys-
tem.

A Good Use Is Found For
Airplane Crates
At present only the flying fort-
resses and the large bombers are
flown from America to Britain,
Quentin Reynolds writes In Col-
Ilet's, 'The fighting planes and
dive bombers are crated and ship-
ped across. One of the marvels
of the industrial age—according to
the boss of the plant where the
American planes are assembled—is
the way the packing is done bock
in Buffalo or Long Island or Cali -
tenth.
"Airplanes have been coning
here for nearly a year," the boss
explains, "and we haven't had one
case or damage through faulty
packing. Wheu we unpack the air-
planes we find it 'eery good use for
the crates."

They could sleep 500 men and in
addition there was a recreation
room,
"MI made from the crates sent
over from America," the boss ex-
plained. "Wood is none too plen-
tiful. We don't belel'e in waste
around here. Anything that costes
from America is too precious not

R. C. VAUGHAN AND J. A. NORTUEY
President R. C. Vaughan, of the Canadian National Railways,
paid his first official visit to the Canadian National Exhibition, to
attend the opening ,ceremonies. He is shown with J. A. Northey,
Toronto Director of the National System and Trans -Canada Air Lines,
inspecting the Canadian National exhibit, in. the Railway' Building,
which is largely devoted to showing in a pictorial way the vital im-
portance of the transport industry to Canada's war effort,

The touring company had never
been of the best, and when they
reached the stage of playing to
the family of the man who owned
the little country theater, and
found that they left at the end
of the first amt, it was decided to
break up.
Two of the actors set out to
work their waYs back to London.
They were lucky enough to get
a passage on a barge, and when
passing through a lock they over-
heard this conversation:
"What' you got on board this
trip, Jim?"
"Load of fertilizer and a couple
of actors, Bert"
The two actors looked at each
other in silence, and sighed deeply,
"Cyril," said one, "shall we nev-
er top the hill?"

Ile was a thrifty fellow, and
cane from Aberdeen. One day he
was told by a friend that instead
of putting shillings in the gas met-
er, much the same effect could be
obtained by blowing smartly into
the slot. He tried the experiment
with gratifying results,
At length an official from the
gas company called to inspect the
meter. He was obviously puzzled
by his investigations,
"'What's the matter?" asked the
householder,
"Man," said the officlal, "I can-
na understand it at all. The com-
pany appears to owe ye thirty

"The best thing for you to

with a nervous complaint, "Is

Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones were
chatting when Mr, • Smith said:

"But ire's not British," protested

Joke on Gestapo
A joke on the enemy in war-
time `is bound to go over if for no
. other reason than that it is a joke
on the enemy in wartime, This
episode of the "powder room" is
one which stands of its own mer-
its, however. Not long ago an
extremely serious detachment of
Hitler's best Gestapo goose-step-
ped into the U.S. Embassy in Ber-
lin, blueprints in hand. They ex-
plained with great.gravity that in
this blueprint, drawn at the time
Berlin's old Blucher Palace was
being converted into the Em-
bassy, was a "powder room,"
which in literal translation reads
"Polverliammer," a storehouse for
munitions. The party demanded '

A Growing ' 'r e
Foreign Legions Train in Bri-

Little has been heard of the
new foreign legions in training
in Britain, exiled armies in em-

mans for restoration -of their na-
tive soil. It has been known that
a
their strength is constantly in-
creasing, but how formidable a
force they are becoming is made
known for the first time by e
special correspondent of The
Times of London, who has spent
some days in the training quar-
ters of each nationality in turn.
There are now separate estab-
lishments of Poles, Norwegians,
Czechs, Belgians, Dutch and
French, each nation having rep-
resentation in fast - growing
camps. Wltat started as a bat-
talion of this or that nationality
has now become a regiment, in
some eases a brigade, and in one
instance, the Polish, actually a
home division, The Poles are the
largest contingent._ They guard
an important Scottish section of
Britain. The Norse are the sec-
ond largest in number. The cor-
respondent describes them as a
splendid body of men, many of
whom have conte originally from
seafaring centres, but enlisted in
the army as the readiest means
of fighting the enemy,
The Czechs, of whotat there are
several battalions, have won
golden opinions from ,British mili-
tary experts. The Dutch forces
are composed hoth of men escap-
ed from Holland and the Dutch
residents in Britain and her col-
onies. They have their own offi-
cers. The Belgians, themselves

Wonder as to how the Germane

by 11', 13, Courtney in Colliers with
the statement that the chutes used
by Nazi paratroops are of a "new

was told, in Germany, by a humble
factory worker in Hanover. The
material is a kind of "silk blond"
and the Oates are also made of

Courtney, "seen to be smaller in

secret type of 'air rudder' by which
they can be steered or delayed or

descent, endeavor's to bunch to-
