Zurich Herald, 1942-06-11, Page 3No Supply Ship For Hong Kong The Argentine Foreign Office 'had anneun,ced that Japan had ag- reed to permit all International Tied Clrsees ropreeentative to visit Hong Kong to inspect the treat- ment •of British and Canadian prlsr.nc1a, but had rejected a pro- posal for sending a Red Cross supply ship, Argeenine represented the Un- ited Kingdom's interests in Japan. until April 29, and then withdrew at London's request after the Un- ited Nations decided to make a unified representation through Switzerland. A communique said the Japan- ese had refused to allow a Red Cross ship to go to Singapore and Hong Kong because of "rea- sons related with security of nav- igation awigation in that zone." It added that the Argentine embassy in Tokio hacl reported a success in negotiating for the establishment of postal services for the interned soldiers and ei- vilians.

Business Of CPR Reaches 1928 Peak The Canadian Pacific R,aiiway has, reached the volume peak of 1928, but its facilities are not overtaxed and can handle consid- erably more traffic. The move- ment of war supplies to the sea- board will be limited in scope only by the bottleneck in trans• shipping the goof'•:- across tnt ocean. A surplus of rolling stock built up in the pre -depression years is now being utilized, but the chief problem is manpower for the railroad. These were some of the obser- vations macre by' D. C. Coleman of Montreal, newly chosen presi- dent of the C.P.R. in a recent interview. If the volume of business con • - tines to climb upward, bringing about • augmented train move- ments, the manpower problem will become sharp, Mr. Coleman said, when asked what he con- sidered was one of the chief prob- lems confronting the railroad. He did not think there would be large-scale employment of women by the C.P.R. to offset the short- age of leen. Surplus of Rolling Stock "We can handle more freight traffic," he said with a smile. "We have the rolling stock, and there is no shortage of locomo- tives. We have a number on order now. Before the outbreak of war, we had a large surplus of rolling stock and we still have some surplus left. It was the re- sult of the planning which all businesses must do. "The volume of business erned to some extent by sea trans- portation," Mr. Coleman pointed out. "The bottleneck is whether the supplies moved to the sea- board by the railroads can be moved from there. We haven't got the storage facilities in this country that the United States has, and we are moving goods under a permit system which takes into account the movement of goods overseas from the sea- board. Otherwise, we would have been swamped long ago." Mr. Coleman expressed doubt that the government would re- strict passenger travel by rail- to one hundred miles. He said the C.P.R. could handle increased passenger traffic and would likely do so in the event of bus travel oeing sharply curtailed. ' As fa.' ns air +ravel is Coiicel'n- ed, Mr. Coleman said the f azure of air +, av e! a :d transport was not being overlooked by the rail- roads. Post -War Readjustment "We are operating many air services at the present time and we hope to improve thein as time goes on," he said, "These air services are not competitive with the Trans -Canada Airlines but act i wait t toexisting Y n ar n% 1 are t e as su Y pp of transportation.

Tanks are being built in the Angus shops in Montreal and guns are being turned out at the Ogden shops in Calgary. Mr. Coleman said the C.P.R. also op- erated three air training schools, two in the West and one at Mal - ton, No. 1 Air Observers' School. These .training centres are run in conjunction with the Common- wealth Air Training PIan. He foresaw a trying per- iod of readjustment in the post- war period. The agony and suf- fering of war, he stressed, "does not end with the signing of the peace." "It is wise to have postwar Plans in the back, of our minces, but we should not concentrate too much on them," declared Mr. Coleman. "We have got to win this war first,' and we haven't begun to do that, though things look a little better now." "Boys, First Class" Of Fighting Navy Have You Heard?, .A little 8cottir li boy wain IV the other day before the exam- biers for the Navy; the exaaxldnti - itiozl was viva voca, deaignad A4ieeover signal of "general intel'IU« genes". They asked the boy what ha knew about the battle of li'Iod- Aen. He said "Nothing". "What!" they said. "Don't you know any- thing about the battle in whiokl e likknglish beat the ,scotch?" "Well," he said, "1 know it must have been verra exceptional." "English is a strange Lange nage, after all," "Why so?" "1 heard a man talking of a political candidate the other day; 'IE he only takes this stand when he runs, he'll have a walkover'," It happened in a merchant ship. She was a passenger liner and she was attacked by enemy bom- bers. She had, as members of her crew, two lads at sea for the first time. They were laundry boys. These two laundry boys, new to the sea, went to their ac- tion stations and an incendiary bomb fell into some bales of sisal near them. That inflammable ma- terial blazed up at once. But those two lads showed such in ^:3tiative and courage that they had the fire under control before the �**egular fire -fighting parties reach- ed the spot. A few moments later one of a stick of high -explosive bombs dropped by the enemy fell neat them, and it failed to explode The captain knew it would be danger- ous to attempt to move it, so he called for volunteers to smother it with sandbags. The same two laundry boys were the first to get to the spot with their sandbags ready. They did not get any medals. They got a special commendation from the King. They hadn't auY fancy names like Casablanca to inspire poets. But the names of young Mr. J. Wiggins and young Mr. A. McLellan are worth re- membering. In the fighting Navy they have a rattling good name for sudh lads. They are rated as, "Boy, First Class," and first class they are, fighting navy or mee'ohaut navy, midshipman, apprentice, oa- det or just boy.

Made in Canada, A surgeon, man of few words, met his match—in a woman! She called at his surgery with her hand badly inflamed and swollen. The following dialogue, opened by the doctor, took place: "Burst?" "Bruise." "Poultice." The next day the woman called again, and the dialogue . was as follows: "Better?" "Worse." "More poultices." Two days later • the woman made another call, "Better?" "Well, Fee?" "Nothing. Most sensible wo- man I ever met." Mrs. Style: "1 want a hat, but it must be in the latest style." Shopman: "Kindly take a chair, madam, and wait a few minutes, the fashion is just changing." "Do you know who I am?" shouted the irate general to the Australian who had neglected to salute hint. "Do you know who I am?" he persisted, as the soldier looked blankly at him. "Here, boys," said the Austra- lian, turning to his friends. "Here is something good. A general who doesn't know his own name." Caller: "Well, well, so your name is Janie and you're five years old. What do you plan doing 'when you get as big as your mother?" Janie: "Diet." The little woman had worried the grocer over trifles at the busiest time of the day, and at .last he had managed to satisfy herr ... . "Do you know, My. Peek," said the woman, "when I came into your shop I had a dreadful head- ache, I've quite lost it now." "It isn't lost," said the dis- tracted grocer. "I've got it" "I'm wondering what to buy for my wife's birthday," "Ask her." "Good Heavens, 1 couldn't afford that." Ethel: "Please, can you tell me the time?" Willie: "I don't know exactly, but I know it isn't four o'clock yet!" "Are you sure?"

Its chief enemies are summer moisture and the dry heat of homes and apartments in winter. They cause loose joints, loosening of veneer, warping and cracking. Best protection against both is a good oil or polish that will seal the surface and, preserve it. An inexpensive polish can be made by mixing one part turpen- tine with two parts of boiled lin- seed oil. TJee at least twice a year on furniture that is varnished or oiled. The turpentine in the mix- ture ixture will loosen the dirt, and the oil will penetrate the wood pores and keep the wood in good con- dition. Apply with a soft cloth. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth, then fold this cloth over and rub the surface until it is entirely dry and fingers will leave no marks. If the wood is badly soiled wash with a mixture of three table- spoons of boiled linseed oil and one tablespoon of turpentine is a quart of hot water, then polish. Little scratches can be concealed with iodine or rubbing with nut meat, such as walnut. White spots on varnished furniture caused by water or hot dishes can be re. moved by rubbing with spirits of camphor or essence of PepPor- mint. Housewives Asked For Co -Operation Here are the new food ration- ing regulations announced in a broadcast to the women of Can- ada recently by Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board: Sugar: Half a pound per person per week. Tea: Individual consumption must be cut by one-half. Coffee: Individual consumption must be cut by one-quarter. Housewives were asked by Mr. Gordon to see that these cuts are obeyed. Those who violate the regula- tions will be prosecuted.

SSIFIED What Science Is Doing SECRET GAS If Hitler should introduce gas into total warfare, the United States is prepared to retaliate with "Lewisite," a secret gas "more deadly" than any used in the Great War, according to its inventor, Prof. W. Lee Lewis, of Chicago, The Toronto Telegram relates. Lewis, former Northwestern University professor, and one- time colonel of the Chemical War- fare arfare Service, said the U, S. War Department for twenty-five years had kept secret the formula for a gas whose importance "two de- cades of research have failed to erase." He explained: "It is more humane than mus- tard and other gases used in the First World War, in that its dead- ly effectiveness reacts more quickly. "Lewisite is infinitely superior to World War I gases in several respects. The gas has a low freezing point, and can be used in remarkably cold regions. An- other important factor is that an area contaminated with the gas remains contaminated for a long period of time. Rain or moist atmosphere will not dissipate its force." Adaptability The lady is calm and cool as an icicle; If she can't get gas she can pedal her bicycle, A vehicle none should presume to disparage, And if that's in use she can drive the carriage. Should the carriage be otherwise occupied, Who cares when the horses are there to ride! Motors, bicycles, carriages, horses Resourceful people are full of resources. We'll walk, since there isn't sa bus to take; When you can't have bread you can do with cake. —Arthur Guiterman, A small piece of lemon dipped I malt and rubbed on the copper - clad kitchen ware will keep it bright and shining.
