KING'S PIGEONS Are Among 750,000 Mobilised by R. A. F, from, British Breeders Pigeons from the King's loft at Sandringham, his Norfolk home, are among the 760,000 now made avail- able by British pigeon breeders for Service with the Royal Air Force. King George is one of 15,000 own- ers who are members of the National Pigeon Service, a voluntary body set up under' the control of the Signals Directorate of the Air Ministry to provide carrier pigeons for the Royal Air Force for taking messages, espe- cially in an emergency. • . Bach member of the Service sup- plies a number of birds daily to the nearest R.A.F. station and undertakes to look out for the return of his birds. When a bird flies back to its loft it alights' on a specially arranged trap which sets an electric bell ringing, and the bell continues to ring until the owner retrieves the pigeon. Any message it may be carrying is re- ported immediately by telephone to the C.O. of the 'station. Pigens can be released from air- craft while actually in flight, and 1,000 birds weekly are already en- gaged on service with general recon- nalssances 'planes. The R. A. F. has also a number of pigeon lofts of its own, and these are in charge of N.C.O.'s• and airmen, all expert pigeon fanciers. The King has accepted the badge worn by members of the Service- and. he has asked that a fortnightly re- port on the activities of his own birds should be submtted to him. A Lancashire soldier anti.

CANADIAN NATIONAL • Right here in Ontario, thousands of young patriots from every continent are in training to win Victory for the democracies -from the Air! Amazing! Some of our training camps are like good sized towns. They make new demands upon Hydro. They need electricity for lighting, maintenance, airfields, pumps, mechanisms, radio; in workshops, rooms, kitchens. Never before has so great a Cause called upon electrical energy to do so much. Today, your Hydro is sup- plying six times as much power as at the dose of the last war and a large and growing part of this is neces- sary for war time production. Ontario's great aircraft indus- tries are powered by Hydro, also factories and foundries making all manner of mili- tary equipment, This war is not only mechanized but electrified! You are, of course, proud that your Hydro System is. playing so great a part in the victory program. Of course, you will economize in your use of electric energy for all peace -time pursuits -and forego for a while further extensions of electric service. With all of us, war needs must come first! Electrical Thrift Hints Always use the hooting element best suited to the work in hand. That soros current, prevents boll-orers, Use automatic controls as directed.
