Shipyard War Cry
'Keep 'Em Rolling'
U. S. Plant Starts Assembly
Line Production of Ships
The shipbuilders' dream—aS-
sembly line production, has begun
in Vancouver, Wash.
"Keep 'em rolling" became a
shipyard war cry for the first
time as Kaiser Company, Inc., laid
a keel of the first of a fleet of
Liberty freighters in the first
completed way at a new $17,000,-
000 plant ou the Columbia River.
12 -Way Yard
It took "The Kid" of the busi-
ness -33 -year-old Edgar P. Kaiser,
d a m contractor extraordinary
turned shipbuilder—to rewrite the
automotive industry's book for
ships.
In the new 12 -way yard entire
superstructures will roll along an
assembly line while hulls take
form on the ways.
Stacks, boons, pilothouse, bridge,
staterooms, cabins — everything
above decks, even to the wood-
work and fittings—will be added
as each gigantic unit moves along
the line.
By the time the hulls are launch-
ed the superstructures will be fin-
ished, moved 'into huge bas's ready
for lowering onto the hulls in one
piece.
Simply Welded On
.lifter that, its simply a matter
of welding, minor outfitting and
adjustment before the ships are
It'eady to go into service carrying
wain, Cargoes to American and
United Nations troops all over the
world,
Wlhere the new technique will
save is in the outfitting basin,
1Pfoee many days the superstructure
assembly line will shave off total
Ibuilding time even. Kaiser's pro -
deletion experts don't know yet, but
they expect it to be plenty.
They believe the methods used
will revolutiouize American ship-
building, but that's not the Im-
portant 'thing, What they want to
..
do is turn out 10,000•ten BC -25's
Raster, than they've ever been built
before,

What Science
is Doing
FIGHTING FEVER
In a single hen's egg, Rocke-
feller Foundation scientists can
grow enough yellow -fever virus to
protect twenty persons for at least
six years against the deadly trop-
ical malady. The process consists
of using the delicate membrane
beneath the shell as a medium in
whloh the microbes multiply rap-
idly.
The culture is then removed
from the egg, frozen iuto relative
impotence, and diluted in a salt
solution. A fraction of an ounce
of this injection brings active im-
munity. Last week Raymond B.
Fosdick, president of the founda-
tion, announced in his annual re-
view of the organization's work
that manufacture of this vaccine
had gone into mass -production
for the war's duration.
During 1941 the Army and Navy
received about 1,920,000 tree doses
for tropical fighters. Other large
shipments went to Africa, India,
Brazil, and Singapore, bringing
the total number of shots to 4,-
260,680, or the virus output of
213,000 experimentally infected
eggs. Reminder to shortage -wor-
ried housewives: the eggs were
grade C, and anyway American
hens Iay about 2,750,000,000 dozen
eggs each year.:
To fight another age-old tropical
disease, malaria, the foundation
used $2,000,000 and 2,090 workers
to clean up 12,000 square miles of
infested territory in Northeastern
Brazil. As a consequence, 1941 saw
the region practically free of the
malaria mosquito, Anopheles gam-
biae. Two scientists are now study-
ing the extent and treatment of
malaria in Trinidad, an import-
ant American base.

Scots Did It
Much is heard these days about
the "scorched earth" policy, says
the St. Thomas Tinges -Journal,
and it is spoken of as if the Chin-
ese were the first to put it into
effect against the Japanese at the
beginning of the "China incident."
The Scots did that, however,
six or seven hundred years ago
against the English. The latter
had more men and were better
armed, and when they crossed the
border the Scots retreated, taking
with them the livestock and field
products. The stuff that could
not be carried away was killed or
burned. The result was that the
invaders were soon obliged to go
back for lack of food. It was this
policy that enabled the Scots to
so often thwart their enemies.
No doubt, "scorched earth" is
much older than that.
HOW CAN 1?
Q. How can I re -glue the joints'
of furniture?
A. The old glue which clogs
the wood pores of joints to be
re -glued prevents the new glue
from setting firmly. When this
happens, steam the surface of the
part to be glued with a damp
cloth and a hot iron. The joint
will then be in excellent con-
dition for the application of fresh
glue.
Q. How can I remove the black
specks which sometimes form on
silver?
A. By using a paste of whiting,
that is free of grit, and olive oil;
lightly polish with old silk. If
the specks are obstinate, shear
with the paste and leave it on
for some time.
Q. How can I make a good
salad dressing for cabbage or
fresh green salads?
A. A dressing can be quickly
made by mixing powdered sugar
in sour cream, with vinegar added
to taste.
Q. How can I prevent kid
gloves from smelling of perspira-
tion?
A. When putting away the kid
gloves after wearing then, shake
a little talcum powder into them.
This will absorb any moisture
that may be lingering in the fea-
ther and entirely remove that ob-
jectionable smell of leather.
Q. How can I promote the
growth of houseplants?
A. Geraniums and other house-
plants that are kept in the win-
dows should be turned around
frequently so as to promote the
growth of well-rounded plants.
An Optimist
An amusing. story reaches me
of a war savings meeting in a
village at which the local centen-
arian was persuaded to come on
to the platform and address the
auddence. His speech ran as fol-
lows:
"I be an old man of 106. I be
the oldest inhabitant. I've got a
tricycle and I can ride 'un as well.
My young brother of 96 can't ride
a tricycle but I can, I ride 'un
every Saturday morning down to
post office and got a savings cer-
tificate. It costs age fifteen shil-
lings but that don't matter, be-
cause in ten years' time it will be
worth more than. that,"—Birming-
ham Post.
Joking Customer: "How
much are your four -dollar
shoes?"
Small Salesman: "Two dol-
lars a foot.'.'
SALVAGE and the Wur Effort!
Since the outbreak of the war, we have made a specialty
of buying surplus and obsolete machinery of every de-
scription.
As a result of our efforts, we have been able to supply
vital "War Industries" with rebuilt machinery of every
descrip tion.
To -day, there are tremendous quantities of used and sur-
plus machinery equipment and supplies of all kinds lying
dormant in warehouses, cellars and sheds throughout the
country. This material must be sorted out in order to be
used to the best advantage in the war effort, which requires
both machinery and scrap metals.
If it is salvagable machinery, we are prepared to pay a
good price for it; if it is scrap the price is still good; the
price is set and controlled by the Canadian government.
In either case look around and se what you have to offer
and write, wire or telephone us at Adelaide 2454 -2455 --
Evenings, Mohawk 5270.
In this National Emergency, all loyal Canadians should
co-operate with us in our drive for Greatest "War Effort."

Have You Heard?
A. Scottish church held 'a self-
denial week. At the end of the
week, one of the members handed
over a donation of,5s, 3d, all in
threepenny pieces,
"Tell me, Jock," said the par-
son, "how is it your contribution
is in threepenny bits?"
"Well, ye see, sir, it's my cus-
tom to have three whiskies and
socias every clay, but as we wore
holding a self denial week I felt
I must give up something." Then,
nodding towards the small coins,
"These are the sodas, sir."
Young' Mother: "The land-
lord called today, and I paid
the month's rent and showed
him baby."
Young Father (of crying
baby): "Pity you didn't show
him the sent and give him
the baby.".
MacTavish. purchased a pair of
boots, which were guaranteed for
a year.
After eleven months, he re-
turned, and complained that they
were not standing up to the
guarantee.
"Are you sure they fit you all
right?" asked the manager.
"They fit me a' richt," was
the answer, "but my brother on
night shift says they're a bit too
tight for him."
"You hammer nails like
lightning."
"You mean I'm a fast
worker?"
"No, you never strike twice
in the same place."
Two cyclists pulled up for the
night at a hotel.
"Well, I think," said the host,
"that you'll have a comfortable
night. It's a feather bed."
At two o'clock in the morning,
one of the cyclists . roused his
companion.
"Change places with ale, Dick,"
he groaned, "it's my turn to lie
on the feather."
"Good heavens, M'Pher-
son, you've holed in one!"
"Aye! It saves wear and
tear on the ball."
At a bar dinner, Sam Ewing,
a lawyer and a great punster,
was called upon for a song. While
he hesitated, Judge Hopkins ob-
served at best it would be no
great matter as it would be but
Sala (psalm) singing.
"Well," replied Ewing, "even
that would be better than hien
(hymn) singing"
Soldier (finding a wasp in
his stew): "Hi, what's this?"
Dixie is economical-
you cut it as you use it
There's no waste.
Mess Orderly: "Vitamin
bee."
The hope of the family return-
ed from his' first day's work at
a munitions factory with Tingees
bandaged.
"Ho, Bert," said his father,
"how's this?"
"Well," said the bright one,
"the foreman said the machine
was fool -proof, but I soon showed
him."
New Night Fighters
Used By Germans
A Berne dispatch quoting the
Berlin correspondnet of Die Tat
said the Germans were using
multiple -seated Diesel planes
equipped with radio location ap-
paratus as night fighters.
The detection apparatus was
said to determine the position
and direction of attacking planes
by picking up radio waves from
the raiders' ignitions. The Ger-
mans were said to be using Diesel
motors so there would be no mag-
neto interference with the de-
tectors.
Ontario At Peak
Of Hog Production
L. E. O'Neil, director of live-
stock for Ontario, told the agri-
culture committee of the Legisla-
ture that the province now has
reached the maximux in hog pro-
duction considering the available
feed.
"We'll have to import more grain
or cut down on production in other
lines of livestock," said Mr. O'Neil.
The livestock director supplied
the committee members with a
table of figures on the swine in-
dustry in which it was shown hog
marketings in Ontario in 1941 to-
talled 2,326,623. This was a little
More than one-third of the total
marketings in Canada.
With regard to the trend of pro-
duction another table showed
Western Canada had a 26.8 per
cent increase in 1941 over that in
1940, while Eastern Canada show-
ed only 1.9 per cent increase.
Alberta, he said, was now On-
tario's greatest competitor in quan-
tity of hog production and was
pressing this province in the mat,
ter of quality.
British Lives Lost
By Nazi ':> ombings
"We are all in the front line
this time, in Britain," and the
words have real significance when
we read the civilian casualties in
the British Isles, caused by the
German bombing raids, says The
Niagara Falls Review, Here ,are
the figures up to October, 1941:
'Killed Injured
Men 19,789 28,867
Women 17,089 20,840
Children ---5,044 4,086
The almost miraculous feature
about the war in Britain is that
there is no war weariness, but an
ever-growing will, determination
to win, a desire to sacrifice all
normal things to rid the world
of the boche.
