F, On Active Service The aeeeuntrements, appendages and gadgets which make a fighter pilot look like something from an- other world, saved the life of Flight Sergeant R. H. Gridley of Scollard, Alta., reeenbly, when his Spitfire crashed in the British. Channell, His "Mae West" fife jacket brought him bobbing to the surface from the cockpit of .his rapidly sinking air craft. His rubber" dinghy kept him afloat in the darkness for more than two hours while he listened to the drone of his comrades, overhead trying to locate him, And, finally a sea rescue Boat spotted the faint glimmer of his light. ' It was an accident that brought Gridley down, His squadron, flying in formation, was providing an "um- brella" for a sea rescue operation in the Channel, circling to fend off any Messerschmidt which might chance that way while Naval unit's were op- erating, Gridley's Spitfire grazed that of his commanding officer, Squadron Leader R. B. Newton, Gridley's air - screw slashed, the cockpit of the squadron leader's aircraft and sev- ered one rudder wire. Newton barely managed to nurse his craft back to - the airdrome where he made a crash landing. Gridley; with a smashed air - screw, had no time to bail out. He belly -landed, unfastening his straps as the aircraft started to sink. As she went down nose first Gridley shoved down the handle of the car- bon monoxide bottle attached to his "Mae West" and the inflated jacket sent him bobbing to the surface. Fastened to his harness was his rubber dinghy with its carbon mon- oxide bottle .and in a moment, it too was inflated. Shedding his parachute he climbed aboard, dug out his flash- light and began blinking it steadily. It was dusk when thg collision oc- curred and light was fast fading when FIight Lieut. Ken Boomer of Ottawa led a search over the area in an effort to guide sea rescue craft. For three quarters of an hour they hovered overhead but never spotted him and Gridley later said that they came tantalizingly close. Visibility had closed in to forty yards when, finally the sea rescue craft found him. "His. Mae West' jacket must have bobbed him out of the submerged cockpit like a cork," Flight, Lieut. Bdomer said afterward. They had re- ported Gridley as missing, but after five days in the station hospital he had recovered from exposure and shock and was back on the job. Proud Brothers When Flight Sgt. Bert. Paige, 27 - year -old observer from Kitchener, Ont., in the Royal Canadian Air Forco Overseas, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal recently for his part in a most successful Coastal Command attack on enemy shipping, the two proudest 'men in England were his two younger bro- thers. One was Pilot Officer Frank Paige 26; who was just finishing his train -1 ing as a pilot at an operational train -'1 ing unit in Great Britain; the other was Pte. Bob Paige, 22, who is with I 'a Central Ontario regiment in the Canadian Army overseas. When Frank completed his train- ing, Bert, in accordance with a long - 'established right of men serving the 'British armed .forces, "claimed" him; i.e., he requested that his brother be Posted to the RCAF squadron of the Coastal Command with which he him- self is now serving. Today the two brothers are together in the squad- ron, though they fly in different air- craft. All three of the brothers 'enlisted within a few days of each other. Bert joined up at the Hamilton RCAF re- ; cruiting, centre in July, 1940; and trained at Regina, Mossbank, and Ri- vers, Man. Bob had enlisted with the army a few weeks earlier and a short while after Bert had gone, Frank en- listed too. The story of Bert's D.F.M.— which he won while serving with a Royal Air Force coastal command squadron—is already well known, He got it after the aircraft in which he was flying sank a ship off , the German coast and then, after runn- ing into heavy flak coneentrations,i hit a rock while taking evasive ac- Non, Notwithstanding this, it came hone, THE TRUTH ABOUT HAITI'S 1 WALKING DEAD MEN Whatterrible power turns living men into Zombies. , ,mindless slaves who nsust obey the will of their nastet's, Inez Wallace,' distinguished newspaper correspondent and world' traveler, spent six months in the West Indies before she learned the real answer, which she reveals in The American Weekly with this Sunday's (May 3) issue fo The De- troit Sunday Tintes, Sowing Europe When Peace Comes By A Special Correspondent Britain has for long ]told tt high reputation not only as a judge but 0,190 as a grower Of the best types of seeds.

From Lincolnshire's well - chained, rich sols come the crops of many types of seecl9, for n that county farming is practised on a larger scale and on larger fields than anywhere else in Great Britain. The work of the large wholesale seed firms goes on all the year round, in the laboratories, testing houses, in the experimental fields and in the seed beds, all to the end of selecting roots and producing plants from which are drawn the "mother seed." It is highly technical work, demanding infinite patience, for work spread over a number of years can be brought to nought by a spell of weather out of season. Biennials, those crops requiring the best part of two years from- the time of planing the mother seed un- til the seed harvest is botained, are. the backbone of the industry, al- though grasses and clovers are equal- ly important. The mother seeds of biennial vegetable and root seed crops are handed to responsible far- mers, usually in July and August, and contracts are arranged with then for the planting, farming and general handling of the crops. With such bi- ennials' as mange's, garden beet, su- gar beet, swedes and others, the plants raised from the mother seed are usually transplanted in the late autumn and early winter and remain in a latent state during the winter; and certain plants may also be trans- planted in the spring. Turnip seed is chilled directly where it remains through all the stages of growth. In the spring the plants begin slowly to develop until eventually, in suns - WOMEN JOIN INDUSTRIAL PARADE Not long ago this attractive Canadian girl looked upon a file as some- thing used solely to manicure her nails.

Formed into companies of the Royal Engineers, New Zealand, Aus- tralian, South African and Indian En- gineers, these' men carry on in the Army the work of engine drivers, platelayers or stevedores. just as they did at hone. Operating companies, consisting of engine drivers, firemen, signalmen (called "blookmen" in the Army), brakesmen. Bunters, boiler- makers and fitters, guards and sta- tion -masters, each have about 100 miles of line to work, some it—like that an the Trans -Iranian railway— over nnuntain ranges in wild, inhos- pitable cuontry. Much of their rolling stock has seen service on the rail- ways of the United Kuigdom, and more than 100 locomotives and some 1,500 waggons have been sent to Iran alone since last September. Where a railway has to be built from scratch, a construction company and a survey company are called in to erect depots and lay tracks. Plate- layers and other men from the rail- ways make up a company of about 300 who, with the assistance of large gangs of sative labor, can construct up to a utile of track a day. In this way over 1,000 miles of track have been laid in the Middle East on strat- egic main lines and in sidings since the outbreak of war. Ports throughout the Middle East are manned by dock companies, consisting of stevedores, checkers and crane drivers from Bri- tish pets, all expert in their jobs. Before going out to their jobs, the British Army's railwaymen are given a course of training at an Army rail- way school and a fir mwill shortly be seen in overseas countries showing them at work there, "This crime." said the judge, sum- ming up, "was carried out in an adroit and skilful manner," Blushing the prisoner interrupted.

Quebec Calls Wartime Vacationist THE perennial appeal of old Quebec City, its picturesque countryside, and northern lakes and woodlands, is receiving add- ed impetus in the face of war- time conditions. With physical fitness a requisite for all forms of war enterprise, it is doubly necessary that this year's tourist make the. most of his leisure hours—a demand that Quebec is admirably suited to satisfy. At least three important fac- tors are swinging the wartime tourist index in 'favor of Quebec. First, its proximity to large cen- tres of, population, many being just an overnight journey by Canadian Pacific Railway lines; secondly, its wide variety of tour- ist attractions; and thirdly, the splendid accommodation provided by the Chateau t ronferae, Que- ''re's world -famed: hostelry, In the city itself, the visitor can alternate his rambles through the historic Lower Town, the Plains of Abraham or Dufferin Terrace, with the present day diversions of golf, tennis, bowl- ing, riding, dancing and other popular sporting and social activ- ides• For Quebec's uptown sec- tion is as modern and lively as its - Lower Town is ancient and tranquil.
