THEY DON'T WANT TO GO HOME
Informed of their forthcoming transfer to Russian -occupied sector of Germany, many Nazi soldiers in-
terned at Ranneslatt Camp in Sweden chose death_ rather than face that fate. Swedish policemen were
called out to stop suicides and escort Nazis to border.
Allies' Greatest
Hoax Of War
Strips Of Tinfoil Dropped By
Allied Planes Jammed Nazi
Radio Communications
- • Where. was, the German Luft-
'waffe on the night before the
European invasion?
The question has been asked but
not answered, many a time since
that day, June 6, 1944, when a tre
mendous Allied fleet put ashore in
Normandy—the greatest invasion
' force in all history, writes a corre-
spondent of the Christian' Science_
Monitor. The men who manned the
ships and the "soldiers who waded
ashore each thought it a very .im-
portant question.
There were Luftwaffe units in
the arca, and the query still per-
sists. What were they doing, and
where were they?
The answer given to the public
recently for the first time, hands a
well-deserved accolade to a smail,
• little-known, but extremely hard-
worlcing group of airmen.
1 Front planes, loaded with 9d n4
Planes Loaded With "Window"
From air stations in the Midlands
and north of England on that'
never -to -be -forgotten night, 30 air-
craft took off into the fast-growing
darkness loaded with "window."
"Window" is the code name applied
to a thin metallic strip of foil, the
same kind of tinfoil used on chew-
ing guilt anad candy wrappers be-
fore the war. This foil was cut
into thin strips and packaged, sever-
al thousand strips tg a bundle
weighing two ounces. "Chaff" when
thrown from a plane has the same
• effect on a radarscope as the plane
itself. A number of these loosed
• successively in the air causes the
real 'targets tobecome indis-
tinguishable, and- the effect can hest
be likened to an electrical smoke"
screen, •
Feint Successful
These .80 planes rendezvoused
over •the 'coast of England; across
from Calais. Flying- at an altitude '
an air -borne mission toward France,
-.they threw out their "chaff." The
scopes of the German radar warn-
ing net registered;a great fleet of
'aircraft corning, and the Luftwaffe
was ordered to intercept.
The Royal Air Force planes
•ircled the area , in which the Ger.-
roan fighters were waiting, and with
iQecial transmitters jammed ground
sir radio communications, keeping
the Germans In the air until out of
gss, preventing their diversion to
the actual, invasion point. Allied
planes flew over naval vessels,
dropping "chaff" which gave the
Baine effect on German scopes- as a
Co-ordinated naval invasion armada.
Ali this was .carried on around'the.
Calais area, while the real invasion
..'force went somnewhere else!
Thus, it was that a successful
feint was made through the use of
radar countermeasures and the first
-
phase of the greatest invasion feat
in military history was on its way
without mishap.
Industrial Use
of Atomic Energy
Prediction that the first - peace-
time use of atomic energy would
be either for a big power station
or for boilers of a large ship made
by Sir George Paget et Tho
lsen
,.
chairman of a group of British
natural scientists appointed in 1940
to develop atomic fission,
"Gradually the new power will
spread to other purposes," Sir
George said. "But the internal
combustion engine will- long re
main the most suitable prime
mover for small powers.
• Ultimately, large-scale irrigation
of deserts suggests itself, but
these are matters of the distant fu-
ture."
-Match sticks are treated with
ammonium phosphate to ,prevent
lingering embers after the flame
has been blown out.
'WHAT SCIENCE ,
is - DOING
New Drug from Whey
Canadian farmers will soon be
playing an important part 'in.the
control of such diseases as typhoid
and dysentry. 'Milk sugar extract-
ed from whey and fed to the
Penicillium mould from • which
penicillin is refined,' will 'be used
to produce the new wonder drug,
Canadian Drug Manufacturers
streptomycin.
are understood to be planning full
scale production of streptomycin
in the bear future. This drug is
outstandingly ,effective against dis-
eases caused by gram negative
bacteria, comparatively few of
which are suppressed by penicillin.
Production of both drugs in
Canada has been made. possible
by the Dominion Department of
Agriculture's organizing the col-
lection of whey from cheese fac-
tories in parts of Eastern Ontario
and Quebec. Transported in tank
trucks to .a condensery. in New :-
York State, the whey is prpeessed
into mills sugar and whey powder.
Ivlost of this milk sugar and;;aonie
of - the whey powder returns` 'to
Canada, the sugar' for use in drugs
and baby foods and the powder
for enhancing the vitamin content
of live tock feeds,
Tens of millions of pounds of
Canadian n'hey have been con-
verted to these. special products
in the past two and one-half
years,
Princess Elizabeth
A Very Human Girl
Her Royal Highness Princess
Elizabeth has taken another step
toward full adult status by going
on her first after -theatre supper
party, unattended except by the
other youthful members - of her
party, relates the. Windsor Star.
The picture of this young woman
dancing until past midnight in a
public restaurant is an appealing
one. It means something to Bri-
ton all over the world.
In few monarchies could, such a
precious personage go about so un-
protected and in such perfect safe-
ty. Few of her rank in other coun-
tries would want to do so. The
sheltered little Princess is growing
up into a very human youngwo-
man, and every such incident in
her career brings her closer to the
hearts of her people.
They Shouldn't' Die
Children are dying of diphtheria
says Mayor General Chisholm, ''be-
cause of the ignorance, prejudice
and negligence of their parents",
and the time will come "when par-
ents allowing their children to die
unnecessarily will be charged with
manslaughter". Strong statements,
but true, says the Ottawa Citizen.
WITH
MacdonaId's
FINE CUT
Use of Coal Once
Considered Illegal
' Coal is front-page news today.',
It is difficult to realize that
there was a time when coal was
highly unpopular. Legislation was
introduced to prevent its use, says
Toronto Saturday Night,
In the reign of King Edward I
coal was regarded with the deepest
suspicion and disfavor, Its use was
forbidden in London..
The penalty against infringe-
ments of this law was most severe
—a large fine or even the suspen-
sion of a business. One Londoner
was convicted and sentenced to
death for breaking it, -
In winter the staple food for the
Eskimo is boiled seal and walrus -
meat.
First Known Case
of DDT Poisoning
The first known case of fatal.
poisoning by DDT was reported
last week' in the current issue of
the British Medical Journal.
The Journal said that the 19 -
months -old child of a West Afri-
can soldier died after drinking ap-
proximately one :ounce from a bot-
tle of DDT and crude paraffin
mixture. Tests, the Journal said,
proved the insecticide and not the
paraffin caused the death.
The Journal also reported that
tests', at the Royal Naval Physio-'
ogical Laboratory had revealed a..
grave hazard of "DDT intoxica-
tion" for persons using concentra-
tions of the insecticide,
It said persons exposed to DDT
were- affected by smarting of the
eyes,• tiredness, heaviness and ach-
ing of limbs, irratability and a feel-
ing of mental incompetence.
One subject of - the experiments

Rationing Ensures
Even Distribution
From the great mass of figures
presented to the food production
conference one thing stands out—
that Canadians are eating today
more of alinost everything than
they did before the war, and this
despite' rationing, says the Ottawa.
Journal.. In other words, consider-
ing the country as a -Able, ration-

It Takes Time
To Learn Trades
No man can become a skilled
workman in a few months; a car-
penter who has had four years'
apprenticeship -is just beginning to
be 'capable of goodwork, and
bricklaying takes just as long to
learn, says the Peterborough Ex-
aminer. Boys and :young men now-
adays do not want to take the time
to learn trades, at low wages; they
do not like the discipline which
learning a trade involves. Appar-
ently they would rather be unskil-
led workers, subject to every lay-
off and while of fate; than skilled
workman who are always sure of
jobs.
Rations Down Under
Will Not be Lifted
There is no prospect of meat and
butter rationing being lifted in Aus-
tralia before 1947, according to Fe-
deral Commerce Deliartment ex-
perts. Although the end of the war
brougiht a sharp decrease in service
demands for these two commodi-
ties, all surpluses above minimum
home consumption requirements.
