The Salvation Army Horne
Service Funds Needed
this Fall
Because the Canadian Government
has ruled, that there can be no united.
campaign by the National War
Service, Organizations this year, the
Salvation Army finds it necessary to
appeal to the pubic for funds this
Fall.
In these critical times the Salva-
tion Army will continue to fit in and
co-operate with the Dominion author-
ities to the fullest possible extent;
hence in accordance with the Govern-
ment's ruliug we cannot raise 1942
funds by a national campaign as we
had douo up to 1941. Instead local
appeals are to be conducted in those
communities where our work has been
carried on for many years and we
hope that our kind friends and sup-
porters will give the same assistance
and co-operation that they have in
the past.

SEVEN MEN
Saved Millions of Man -Hours in ;Brit-
ain's War Factories
An officer and six privates iiirit-
ain's Royal Ary Ordnance Corps were
responsible for setting on foot a
movement which has saved Britain's
war industries many millions of man-
hours and tons of material.
After Dunkirk, R.A.O.C. depots be-
came cluttered up with Masses of
broken, damaged or out-of-date
stores. It happened that these seven
lieu hadd all been in business before
the war, and they knew that there
was a vast reservoir of garages,
backstreet firms and small engineer-
ing shops where repairs could be
done, Realising that manufacturers
do not like to have their production
held up by repairs to their own
articles, thy° persuaded business ac-
quaintances to make room for re-
pairs to vital equipment without int-
erfering with Ministry of Supply con-
tracts.
From this small beginning has
grown the Central Repair Debt,
where hundreds of thousands of
pieces of equipment that might never
have been used again, find their way
back into service.
An uncanny foresight has been
shown by the officers and men at
this depot in dealing with raw mat-
erials. Long before shortages occur-
red they husbanded materials which
are now worth their weight in gold.
Sixty per cent. of the articles re -

Although this Central Repair Depot

thousands of pounds a year on new
equipment, its real value, which can
not be emasured in money, is iu re-
lieving the pressure on the war fact-
ories and making double or even

Alexander Anderson of Toronto,
a former resident of West Wawan-
