Those Old Fur Coats Will ake Seamen's Vests 3,000 Fur Vests Are Urgently Needed For Protection Of Canadian Seamen The Ontario Division of the Seamen's Fur Vests War Projects is again appealing to the public for gifts of furs or old fur coats, says the Toronto Daily Stiir. Thesa will be turned into warm vests to protect seamen from the biting cold of the North Atlan- tic. There is urgent need of many of these warm garments. With the public co-operation, this or- ganization hopes it will this year supply at least 3,000 more fur vests to Canadian seamen.. ." The immediate and urgent need is contributions of old fur coats. It does not matter in what condition they are, the skill of the fur workers can turn them into warm fur vests for the sea- men. . Letter of Thanks A letter, which arrived a fort- night ago, signed by Lieut: Gor- don D. Campbell, commanding of - firer, H.M,C.S, Truro, stated: "Not so long ago 25 fur -lined jackets came aboard this ship. Their arrival was watched with interest by members of the crew, most of whom had been out on the North Atlantic before, and knew just how cold it can get there, and what protection your Jackets afford, In due course they were distributed, and once again the eager eyes were evident. "If you could come aboard some night when we are at sea and watch how your jackets ars passed about by members of tho Drew coming off and going an watch, this letter of thanks would not be necessary. Each member of the crew stands eight hours an watch duty per day, but your jackets are on 24 hours duty." * * * It is hoped that as many Cana- dians as find it possible will quickly stake their contributions of old or new furs, and in this way participate in an important war service.

OTTAWA REPORTS That New Order Covering Small Arms Ammunition Contains Good News For Farmers The Wartime .Prices and Trade Board announced this week that same types of small arms ammun- ition will be free of rationing and will be available m some stores where there may be stocks on hand. The list of ammunition so affected is stated by the board to be types which ns longer are being produced; but no doubt plenty of guns hanging on farm- house walls are not the latest thing in produet os either. The regulations governing 'dis- tribution of ammunition still ra- tioned have, however, been some- what changed. The new order plugs any leaks that may have developed in distribution pro- cedure. * * Under the old order those ea- sential users who were eligible for supplies were divided into two groups, (1) a prospector; a person who relies on hunting of wild game and birds for. food; and a person who requires ammunition as a means of protecting live- stock and other animals, poultry and other birds, and crops from predatory animals, rodents and birds, (2) a person duly author- ized to purchase small arras am- munition for the Royal Canadian Police or any provincial, mun- icipal or railway police force, or any penal institution; a person duly authorized to purchase small arms ammunition for an industrial plant, bank, railway, public utility company or other com- mercial establishment for the pur- pose of supplying ammunition to guards engaged in the protection of property, a trapper licensed as such by a department of the government of Canada or of a provinciar government; a rifle, revolver club, provided it has ob- tained the written permission of the Director of Small firms Am- munition. yi * * The first group was req'tired to make application to their t,"arest rationing office before purchase tend be made. The second after filling out the required essentiality certificate was permitted to pur- chase direct from the stores. In future, no distinction will be shown and all must make their application through the board on a new form issued for the purpose. It is expected that during 19.44 there will be a three -fold increase in production of small arms am- munition and there Ss n ray of hope that sportsmen may get a limited supply. The bulk of production will still be directed North where Eskimos, Htdians, etc., rely upon it for their living.

In a dispatch from London the Daily Mail said the planes prob- ably had a top speed of between 500 and 000 miles an hour. Several hundred successful flights have been carried out by American pilots in the United States and by British pilots •with similar British aircraft in Eng- land, all without a single mishap, the statement said, Research work en the jet -pro- pulsion engines was begun in 1038 in Great Britain by Group Capt. Frank Whittle of the R.A.F. and his preliminary' engine ran successfully in April, 1037. Boater Use of Gun Eepected The statement disclosed that the British Air Ministry placed its first order for It plane using jet -propulsion engines With the Gloucester Aircraft Company, Ltd. in. 1939. "The first successful flight of this aircraft was in May, 1041," said the statement. In addition to tremendous speed at high altitude, where the standard -type plane's propeller frust whirl faster to maintain speed in the thin air, the jet -pro- pulsion engines are expected to eliminate the need for synchron- ization of guns and propellers. This will permit better use of the The Jet ?rinciple The new United Nations jet- 1Aipelied fighter was not reached at a single bound, writes W.K. in the New York '.Gates. Exhaust gases have been used by the British, Germai:.,, Italians and American to kick a heavily loaded airplane forward and thus help the engine get it off the ground. Even before this, it has been found by the Frenchman, Rene Lorin, that when air is admitted into a radiator duct at high speed, slowed down (with a con- sequent leer ase in pressure), heated, and then expanded through a nonzl,., it can exert a iwcrful forward thrust. The principle is more easily applied to liquid -cooled. than to air-cool- ed engines. All this amounts to letting the radiator help the en- gine push the plane. In Thin Air Jet propulsion is necessary if we are to exceed the possibilities of propellers. 'A propeller literal- ly screws its way through the air. The blades cause a partial vacuum. The greater the den- sity of the air, the greater is the efficiency of the propeller. As we rise, the nit becomes thinner. Finally a point is reached at which no propeller will "bite." 'hire ceiling has been reached. With the jet propulsion exactly the opposite holds good. The less air there is the more effici- ent is the motor. If the ejected gas has an expansion efficiency of 4,000 feet a second at rest, the :ante force exerted in motion Would increase the speed up to a Point where the maximum effici- ency is reached at something like 10,000 utiles an hour Jet propul sion gets better and better as speed and height increase. As a meter of fact, with a fuel composed of liquid oxygen and gasoline, jet velocities of 12,000 feet a second have been obtain- ed. The problem is how to handle the heat and how to control the plane in ,flight.'• Dubbed "The Squirt" Whether or not jet -driven planes will play a major role in this war remains to b seen. Some observers claim they have watch- ed this plane, streaking about the skies over Britain flash ahead of the famous Spitfire fighter. But although it is said that tate jet plane soon will be in full production, it is recognized it may be se111e time before it eenid be- come a decisive war weapon. When one of the new British American jet-propelled) planes first flew over the outer London area in an experimental flight, many persons rushed for shelter, think- Invaluable hink- I ovalu ble kr COUGHS --COLI S SIl0NCHITIS ASTHMA WHOOPING COUGGI SIMPLE SORE THROAT hildren Iov~' Vesio's ing that a heavy bomb was screaming down, ' The mystery plane's arrival was heraldedb s a distant screech which grew in volume until it sounded like a giant 'whistling ]settle, Then the rumble of its powerful engines was heard as the plane shot overhead. The people soon came to know it, however, as the flights be- came more frequent, and they finally dubbed it "The Squirt," Underground Ready For Allied Invasion Only the initiated know how well the French underground has prepared for Allied invasion, says Newsweek. It would be dangerous to reveal details, but it can be said that an over-all, master plan of action has been drawn up. Apparently, the underground ex- pects xpects the Allies to come from the south, since men have been desig- nated to take over every important government post in the Mediter- ranean area. Preparations are not so well advaced elsewhere. Armed groups are ready to handle all Vichy resistance though not, of course, strong concentrations of German troops. The underground haspromised to await a landing before striking and to obey Allied radio orders. However, it la warn- ed that should the orders be held up for any reason after military operations begin in Prance, the people will strike anyway. Raindrops are larger in sum- mer than in winter.
