The next twelve winners in the event received prizes from $25,00. to $5.00: - HAVE - YOQ HEARD? Au old lady living in the country had a son in the Navy. On one of her rare visits to a neighboring town she saw a sailor. Trembling with excitement she asked him if he knew her boy. She told him his name. "Well, what ship is he in?" asked the sailor. "What ship?" exclaimed the old. lady. "Are there two?" "Now, children, can anyone give me a definition of a niche, such as a niche in a church?" Little Jackie: "Well, it's Just like an itch In any other place but you can't scratch it there." "Absent-minded, isn't he?" "Extremely so. The other night when he got home he knew there was something he wanted to do, but he couldn't remember what it was until he had sat up over an hour trying to think." "And, did he finally remem- ber it?" "Yes, he discovered that he wanted to go to bed early." Prize for the best (or worst) pun of 1941 to date should go to The Scotsman, which, com- menting on the news that grass has been listed as an excellent food, chimes in :"Green grow the rations 0." A doctor and a dentist shared the services of a typist and both fell in love with her. The dentist was called away on IbuSinees so he sent for the typist, and said, Int going to be away for ten clays. You'll find a little ;present in your room." Site went lu, and found ten apples, "I wrote to the paper to find out how long cows should be milked." "And they said?" "Just like short cows." "Your poor husband's still in bed, then?" "Yes, he's really quite all right, but when the doctor came six weeks ago he said Fred mustn't get up on any account until he said he could, and we think the doctor must have gone in the army." Teacher—"Name three col- lective nouns." Tommy—"ply-paper waste- paper, and .vacuum cleaner."

Mr Lines, replaciug men who have been released for various phases of war' activity. Most of the wo- men omen are in the traffic department, as reservation or ticket clerks, al- though many are engaged in mech- anical work, cleaning and testing instruments, With the establishment of a third daily non-stop trip between .New York and Toronto, Trans- Canada Air Lines are flying close to 20,000 miles daily in scheduled service. At the end of 1939, Canada's national air serv- ice had a daily mileage of 3,044, and at the close of 1940, the daily mileage had risen to 15,144. New Half Fare For The Services All personnel of the Canadian army, including Nursing Sisters, proceeding on leave or furlough will be allowed to purchase return tickets at the one-way fare, it was announced at Military Headquart- ers recently. The new rate will be applicable to Wren travelling in uniform, or in mufti, but in the later case the soldier must produce a certi- ficate signed by his conunanding officer. The regulations state that the fare will be a single'fare for the round trip in the case of first - clues, intermediate (where this is in effect), coach class or special coach class travelling soldiers, with a minimum fare of 25 cents. First-class tickets will be valid for passage in coaches, also in sleep- ing ears or parlor cars on pay- ment of the proper extra charge for such accommodation. Men Can Enlist Much Easier Now Medical Requirements Are Lower—Many Likely to Try Again Easing of medical requirements for recruits for Canada's active army will permit re-examination of men who have previously been rejected, interpretation of orders issued from Ottawa reveals. Whereas formerly there was only one category of A, it baa now been divided into Al and A2. Men class- ed as A2 ' are eligible for all branches oC the army with the ex- ception of front line infantry. The order's state that those re- jected under olcl standards for de- fective vision, radio] mastoid, or dry perforation of ear druiu are encouraged to present themeetves for re-examination, Men of either A category must be able to "see to shoot or drive, undergo severe strain and have only minor, non-ptogreSslve disa- bilities," Applicants to 'take Bl category must be able to march five miles and withstand "considerable exer- tion," Remits down to Cl category are liable for service overseas.. Those of 07. and lower can serve iu Can- ada only. Cove>ititry Clock Striking Again The Coventry Cathedral clock is once again striking the hours over the scarred city after a silence of several months. It has just been repaired by Mr. J. W. Eliot, the custos. It is over 300 years old, moody, rather worn, and very susceptible to weather conditions. Every winter the oil in the mechanism becomes thick- ened or frozen and the clock ceases to function. A separate electrical mechanism in the past has chimed the half-hours and the quarters: thecathedral cloak it- self strikes only the hours As the electric current has been cut off the hours alone will sound. The chimes have a dulcet tone, and fall tranquilly upon the ears of visitors standing in the shade of the lilac trees, peering at the a'oofless walls; of what was once the glory of Coventry. 1 How Can 1?` BY ANNE ASHLEY By, Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean unwasha'ble leather gloves? A. Clean • with a flannel cloth that has .been soaked in milk, squeezed nearly dry, and then. rubbed ion a bar of soap. Q, How can I clean gold -decor- ated' china so as to protect the gold? .. A. Wash in lukewarm water containing soap flakes in moder- ation. Never 1'ub :soap directly on the gold, as it will dull the gold and eventually cause 'it to rub off. Q. How can I test the purity of butter? A. Put a Iittle of the butter in a spoon and hold over the gas flame. If it dissolves without sputtering, it is pure. However, if it contains some other sub- stance, it will sputter, Q. How can I remove colored candle tallow stains from table linen? A. Place a blotter over and , a blotter under the stain. Press with a hot iron. Repeat this, pro- cess, shifting the, blotter each time, until the tallow disappears. Q. How can I clean a griddle that has become crusted? 'A. Place it over a very hot fire and cover thickly with salt. Af- ter the salt has turned brown, the crust and salt will brush off together, leaving the griddle like new. After washing the griddle, grease well and heat before put- ting away.' What's In A Name Or Three? At a wedding in Edinburgh, Scotland, the groom received a telegram bearing the surnames of three fellow railway workers so that it read: "Congratulations. Hope, Mutch, Luck." When's A Mushroom Not A Mushroom? Rain at this time of the year snakes the mushrooms grow—also the toadstools. But experts warn that while one—the mushroom-- May ushroom—lT ay be a tasty dish, the other— the toadstool—it the cause of stomach aches, ' violent illnesa, even death. liow to tell them apart is the problem, To persons who go mushroom hunting, Inspector W. H. Bramp- ton of Windsor Police, who knows hie mushrooms, lays down one hard and fast and safe rule: "If in doubt, throw Fent out." It's much better not to take "a chance;" says Inspector Brump-.- ton. "Qf . course mushrooms are pretty good to eat, but if you aren't absolutely certain what it is you have picked, you'll find it safer to discard it. A toadstool may taste all right, but it often has terribleafter effects." .Another rule the inspector has is this: "If they're pale and won't peel they're not mushrooms." "I judge them by the color of the underneath parts," he says. "If they are pink or ,black under. neath, then I figure they are safe." Cars From Canada Arrive In India India now is receiving motor cars and trucks from Canadian factories, Sir Sanmukham Chetty, head of an Indian purchasing mis- sion to this continent, said on his arrival in Montreal from New York en route to Ottawa. "We are interested in a whole range of supplies and we want to see in what respects Canada can supplement the production of .American factories to which we have given orders," Sir Shan- mukham, aceounpannied by a large staff, told reporters.

British Victims Hundreds of New Garments and Blankets Sent to Britain During the months of ,Tune, July and August alone, approximately thirty-seven tons of new clothing and new bedding, valued at $22,- 107,33, were shipped to Great Bri- tain by the Imperial Order Daugh- ters of the Empire, according to Mrs. W. R. Walton, Jr., vice -con- venor of the National War Service Committee of the I.O.D.E. Hundreds of new garments and blankets included in the above were collected through Imperial 011 ser vice stations across Canada in car- tons placed there by the hO,D,E. The added co-operation of the Provincial Automotive Transport Assecia:tton•s, whose trucking com- panies gave their services gratis, iu delivering these cartons to the various Provincial I,0,11'E. head. quarters, aided )materially the 1,0 1)10, effort which has provided great quautitiee of new clothing for British bombed victims as well as tons of selected reading =eerie' for Canada's fighting forces, ' In Ontario alone full cartons were plaited up from Imperial 011 service stations in 92 towns and cities; and hauled by members of the Automotive Transport Associa- tion of Ontario to the I.0.D.E. Bead• quarters at Hamilton and Toronto. Mrs. Walton states that the need for new clothing and bedding for the British bombed victims and for booles for the troops is urgent and that donors may still leave their contributions at Imperial 011 sen vice s'tatione in towns an:d cities throughout Canada where there are Chapters, Roost Allo•rances For Servicemen Living allowances for ranks other than commissioned officers in the Canadian army have been inc'eas. ed from 85 cents' to $1.00 a day, it was announced at National De- lanoe Headquarters recently. The increase in living allowance is effective se from Sept, 1. The allowance is paid to men not quer- tered in army buildings or provide ed with rations. Soldiers on active service over- seas are fact and housed by the army but for thousands serving in Canada lack of military genitors makes this impossible.

Speaking for the . Government after widespread demands for a second front, Moyne said Britain lacked tanks and artillery tor an attempted invasion' of the contin- ent. He said the Government, de- spite alnateur strategists, soap box orators, and campaigns lu the press, had no intention of inviting another -Dunkirk.

Strabolgi, who "deplored" that when the greatest opportunity of all time had presented itself Brit- ain was unable to strike in the west because of lack of equipment: Strabolgi claimed: that Germany had Only 26 second-rate divisions in all of Western Europe, and that they had less than 100 tanks to support them. But Moyne persisted in the Government's refusal to aid Russia by invading the continent ina manoeuvre designed to draw German troops out of Russia. Not Enough Equipment Moyne implied that equipment, especially tanks, now in British hands was not sufficient to make the opening of a front in the west poissible. Ile said that a Weetern Front operation would severely strain British shipping and would denude Britain of an army needed to repel possible German invasion. "It would be madness for us to Improvise an expedition of that kind", Moyne said. "You cannot land a well equipped fumy with- out a vast amount of shipping. It would be folly to denude this coun- try of an army we will need in case of invasion. "You cannot land a force with merely rifles and bayonets to face all the artillery and tanks available In France." Canadian Firemen Will Go To ',rftain War Services Minister Thorson announced officially the appoint- ment of Fire Chief Donald A. Boulclon of Winnipeg as officer commanding the Canadian Fire Fighters' Corps which is to be sent to the 'United Kingdon, Mr. Bouden will go to Ottawa immediately to organize the corps.. Through the Department Of National War Services a call Will be sent out for 400 fire' and this number will be progres- sively increased.

The men will go overseas as a civilian force anti will be in- tegrated with the British fi'l'e fighting services. The corps will be organized on semi -military lines.
