Conrad Gauthier, Parent Avenue, let the grease potato chips catch fire, she ‘emonetrated what not to do with Qtn incendiary bomb. Mrs. Gauth- tee rushed to the sink with the Waing pan of grease and poured Water on it. Instead of putting lett the fire, the Water carried • burning grease to the curtain's and the fire was on its way. That's what happens when wat- r is poured on an incendiary Lomb. It simply carries the fire along with it and the blaze spreads e wherever it is taken by the flow of water, Instead of putting water on an incendiary bomb, smother it with Band or earth. —Windsor Star. SHOULD BE HATED Some pious church people over- seas have been protesting because British troops have been told to hate their Axis adversaries. Why *shouldn't they hate them? Not atnee the Dark Ages—and perhaps not even then—has this world Ween anything so diabolical or sin- ister as the typical Nazi. The trouble is that most of us don't hate them as they deserve to be bated. --,Brockville Recorder and Times. —o— HINT TO WIVES American tailors and pressers report that $11,885 was left in the pookets of men's suits sent to the cleaners last year, nearly all of 'o61ch was returned. The facts obould be a hint to wives to go through the pockets first. The careless fellows deserve to lose the change. Besides, "finders keepers" should rule where the 'rives are concerned. —Montreal Gazette —o— THERE'S A WAR ON One day's announcements for Canadians: sugar coupons are coming, coal rationing is probable, tooth -pante and other metal tubes a41at be turned in for salvage, nage of burlap, jute and cotton atuat not be used for domestic oaes.

Bax 425, 73 Adelaide St. W,, Toronto, Stock of Marbles Depleted By War War has finally hit the school yards and back lots. Winnipeg importers of agate and glass marbles which conte from Ger- many and Japan, have not brought in stocks for more than a year and with the stocks exhausted Junior will have to get along on last year's winnings. Theoreti- cally, dealers said, the number of marbles in circulation should re- main more or less consistent— merely changing hands like race- track money. One 10 year-old marble shark admitted having about 500. This, he claimed, was not hoarding, just a case of good marksmanship last year. Queen Elizabeth Bowls A "Fast One" The Queen, touring Scotland, bowled a fast one at a miners' welfare centre and earned this tribute from the lawn bowls club president: "You threw a real good wood." A miner's wife had asked: "Will your Majesty throw a bowl?" While the King smiled and look- ed on, the Queen sped the jack up. Her Majesty followed with a bowl stopped within a yard of the jack. Press pictures showed the Queen to be a regular lawn bowl- ing stylist, both knees slightly bent and the right arm stretched out as the bowl sped down the Record Shows Crow Lived Forty Years The Massachusetts Audubon So- ciety recently published some in- teresting material in connection with the life span of birds. Mi- grating birds are, of course, sub- jected to more hazards than those that remain in one place, although some of the -former have attained long life. A white pelican, handed in Yellowstone Park in 1932, died in Montana in 1940, but a gannet, banded in Quebec in 1922, lived until 1939. In British Columbia, naturalists banded a glaucous -twinged gull in 1925. It was found dead in the same province in 1936. The Arctic tern, which covers more miles in migration than any other bird, was recorded as having a ten-year life span; and the much - maligned crow, hunted, dynamited as it is constantly, was found in one case to have lived for four- teen years. But the one for the record book is the partially -albino crow which was found dead at Arnold Arbo- retum, Boston, last year after a recorded existence of forty years, Revised Gas. Rationing Plan Reduction in gasoline under the new rationing plan will chop still further into the yearly mileage allowed Ontario motorists, Coni- perieons between the previous and the new rationing is approximately as follows: Category Previous Mileage New' Mileage 4400 320 B1 8,000 7,200 B2 12,000 9,000 C 15,000 12,000 O 24,000 18,920 E 34,900 27,920 Commercial According to need According to need No allowance has been named for the new AA category, for persons who have more than one car or use a car solely for pleasure' driving: THE WAR - WEEK - Commentary on Current Events Britain, the United States, Russia Pledge Co-ordinated War Effort The scratch of diplomats' pens for the brief space of a day sound- ed more loudly last week over the warring world than the bursting of bombs and the roar of mechan- ized 'weapons, writes the New York Times. The United States, Britain and Russia had affixed their signatures to documents of far-reaching import. A mutual as- sistance pact between London and Moscow, a master lease -lend con. tract for supplies from the American arsenal to the Red Army and understandings in regard to a second European front—through such instruments the three might- iest members of the United Na- tions pledged their peoples and resources to a coordinated effort for the duration and in the peace to come. Almost three years after Britain picked up the gage of battle, almost a year after Russia's soil was invaded and 10 a year slier ths finfted States was struck at Pearl Harbor, the pros- pect appeared of an Allied blue- print to set against the aggres- eors' plans for new orders. Atlantic Charter As Basis The dramatic ocean rendezvous, in August of 1941, between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill laid the political found- ation, The Atlantic Charter listed the principles of non -aggression, s e 1 1 - determination, reciprocal trade, freedom of the seas, social security and freedom from "fear and want" as the basis for "a better future for the world." The charter was accepted in the Dec- laration of the United Nations at the start of 1942. It still stands as the cornerstone on which, the Allies intend to reconstruct post- war society. A global military strategy—the toughest field of all—is slowly emerging from a long round. of staff talks spread from Chung- king hun;king through Moscow and London to Washington. It appears to be based on the acceptance of Hitler•- ite Germany as the moat danger- ous of the aggressors, and there- fore the one to be struck first and hardest by a synchronized of- fensive; by the Soviet on the first front, by the British and Ameri- cans on a second front. The agree- ments disclosed last week touch on. all these factors and represent the culmination of the drive for an efficiently coordinated United Nations. Mr. Brown Last week it was disclosed that Mr. Molotoff had flown to London and Wahington in a Soviet bomb. ing plane manned by Soviet fliers. Official Britain and America wel- comed the representative of their ally warmly but with no clicking heels, rattling swords, blaring bands; he was called Mr. Brown to keep his identity eecret until he had returned to his own coun- try. ;lir. Brown—he spoke no Eng- lish, was accompanied by a Rus- sian interpreter—rode a suburban train from the airfield into Lon- don and not a commuter recogniz- ed him. He strolled the White House lawn in sight of thousands of office workem and went unrec- ognized, Pact With Britain Back in. Moscow last week Mr. Molotoff reported to his govern- ment that Mr. Brown had been a very busy man on his trip. In ad- dition to the sight-seeing, there had been long hours of hard work. He had three great achievements to report. They were: (1) The signing of a twenty- year mutual assistance pact with Great Britain. There were two principal points in the pact. The first: "In virtue of the alliance estab- lished between the United King- dom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the high con- tracting parties mutually under- take to afford one another mili- tary and other assistance against Germany and all those States which are associated with her in acts of aggression in Europe." The second: "The high contracting parties declare their desire to unite with other likeminded State in adopt- ing Proposals for common action to preserve peace and resist ag- -gression in the post-war period,,;
