'lows 11-m1411712114/Wen pensee -fu It was a proud moment for em- ployees of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway's Angus shops at •Montreal when the 500th army tank rolled off the .shops assem- bly line to take' its place with others in the British armed forces. The important produc- tion milestone was marked by a gala ceremony during which Tank No. 100, ,gaily bedecked' with flags and placards, was par- aded down the shops' midway to the strains of the employees' brass band, Cheering throngs of shopmen dined the broad runway as the tank -of -honor rumbled by, sym- bolizing the stepped-up tempo of production since the -first Cana - diens') t ana-diau built tank was released from the big plant early in the summer. Large placards affixed to the,tanlcs' khaki sides indicat- ed the determination of the em- ployes, who staged the cere- mony on their own initiative, to do all in their power to con- tribute to victory. As the procession drew up be- fore the tank shops where Ether finished tanks` stood in a grim line, the band played "0 Can- ada" and the National Anthem and this was followed by lusty cheers as the Angus workers sur- veyed their handiwork. Many of the tank's 99 Angus -built pre- decessors are already in senvice with, the armed forces, and as the above placard says: "Hundreds more will follow quickly." The ceremony recalled the message ,of D. C. Coleman, vice- president of the Canadian Paci- fie Railway, when the first tank was produced at Angus shops. On that occasion Mr. Colejman re- marked: "This machine is the child or sweat and tears. It will bo followed by hundreds and thousands of others to help the Umpire to its victory." FACT ABOUT CANADA (Continued from page 2) untary reduction in the non-essential use of aluminium from 1,000 ,tons a month to 25 tons a month was, an- nounced some months ago, and an or- der issued by the Dominion's Metals Controller now rigidly restricts the. use of aluminium, whether in the form of scrap or •otherwise, for ,other than war purposes. The salvage ,of aluminium and other waste materials has however, been go- ing on in many parts of Canada since last year . About 2,400 municipalities are taking part in the campaign and men, housewives, school children and farmers have been informed by leaf- lets, posters and press notices of how they can best help. A. variety of col- lection methods have been adopted and extraordinary success has been achieved in many centres. WOOD AS FUEL Just as in the last war a call has come from the authorities to reduce fuel costs and they ask Canadians to use wood as much as,'{sossible. There was a day in Canada, of course, when all the people used wood to heat their homes. With this in mind the Forest Pro- ducts laboratories have issued a state- ment which will be found of great value.. The statement shows that wood can often be used to great ad- vantage in reducing heating costs. Fire]. is always a large item in the Canadian family budget, and, in war time every effort should be put forth to keep this item of expense at a minimum and 'at the same time con- serve foreign exchange by reducing the outlay for imported fuels: Tests made in the laboratories re- veal that with good equipment a card and a quarter of heavy hardwoods such as hard maple, yellow birch, beech and oak will yield as much heat as a ton of anthracite coal. A cord of white birch, the soft maples, the poplars or basswood produces only about 60 to 80 per sent of the heat by hard maple. For the best results wood of any species should be thor- oughly dry before being used for heating purposes. Because wood requires much less air for its proper combustion than does coal, it is important that wood -burn- ing stoves and furnaces be made as air -tight as possible. The only air ad- mitted should be through the draughts provided for that purpose. Under these conditions the operator will. save complete control of combustion and obtain economy in operation, If suitable graths and hoppers are nstaIled and if sufficient space• for fuel storage is available, sawdust can be burned with great satisfaction and economy. It burns very steadily without much attention and leaves little ash, a feature of all wood fuels. Sawdust has long been used as a do- mestic fuel in Brtitish Columbia, and Mrs. Ed. Pappil of Tuckersmitlt re- cently received the sacs news of the death of her brother, Robt, Walker, of New York State, Mr. Dennis, an employee in the el- ectric works at Adams:, was killed instantly Monday night, It is not known definitely how it happened, but it is supposed' he took hold of the brass switch on the switch board by mistake, Peter Cavanagh shot a curiosity in the shape of a white deer near Egan- ville recently. James. Granger of Brumfield was married on Wednesday to Miss Mary Amt Smith of McKillop, the groom's parents, brother, and sister Jessie at- tended the wedding which took place at the home of the bride. They will reside in Brucefield having rented the house of James Logan. The residence of Mr. and Mr,s, Ed. Robinson, Goshen Line, Stanley town- ship, was the scene of a pretty and quiet wedding on Wednesday, Nov, 6th, when their eldest daughter, Miss Mary A., and Mr, Henry Errata of the Babylon Line, were united in the bonds of matrimony. The ceremony was• performed, by Rev, ,I. W. _An- drews of: Varna, in the presence al' only the immediate families. They will reside on the groom's farm on the Parr Line.

V WOMEN IN THE ARMY" With appointment of officers, or- ganization of companies, platoons and other groups, and un±forms to come later, recruits for the Canadian Women's, Corps' have already been taken on at several : stations across Canada to release soldiers for other duties. Drivers, canteen helpers, clerks, and stenographers are ainong the first classifications that have been medi- cally examined and called. They are identified as members of the G.W.A.C. by the letters embroidered in gold on a cherry -coloured' arm -band until they become enrolledi as Volunteers and are issued the Corps uniform which has now been approved andwill be of khaki barathea cloth with deep brown shoulder tabs and tie, khaki stockings, and brown shoes and gloves, in ad'dx s' 44 tion to Khaki greatcoat on smart cav- alry lines, PAGE 3 Recruits who are formerly members GLEAMING GUARDIANS OF BRITAIN'S COASTLINE of volunteer groups are being permit- The highest efficiency is maintained in Britain's coastal defense bat- ted to wear the uniforms of these teries of Royal Artillery by constant day and night exereises, groups until uniforms are issued.

Although more and more Canadians are becoming regulon investors in War Savings Certificates, and al- though large numbers are increasing the size .of their monthly War Savings I nvestments as a result of the cur- rent war weapons campaign, there is an astonishing total of people who are failing to grab their share of just about the best investment Canadians are offered in these unsettled clays. There are even a ;few people here and there who have been duped into the belief that money which goes in- to War Savings; Certificates may nev- er be paid back. Somehow or other they fail to grasp the obvious fact that the whole of Canada's immense resources stand behind every certifi- cate; that the certificate has first call on those resources; that the only threat against the cashing of War Savings Certificates is the possibility of Hitler taking over the country.
