M•rs. Gauth- ier rushed to the sink with the lasing pan of grease and poured water on it. Instead of putting Wet the fire, the water carried the burning grease to the curtain stud the fire was on its way. That's what happens when wat- er is poured on an incendiary bomb. It simply carries the fire gtong with it and the blaze spreade to wherever it is taken. by the flow of water, Instead of putting water on an Moen -diary bomb, smother it with sand or earth. —Windsor Star. —o— SHOULD BE HATED Some pious church people over- seas have been protesting because BBeitish troops have been told to :Rate their Axis adversaries. Why etkouldn't they hate them? Not since the Dark Ages—and perhaps not even then has this world *eon anything so diabolical or sin - tater as the typical Nazi. The tro'ulble is that most of us don't hate them as they deserve to be bated. --eBroekville Recorder and Times. —e— H_INT TO WIVES American tailors and pressers report that $11,865 was left in the pockets of men's suits sent to the erleaners last year, nearly all of shish was returned.

Box 425, 73 Adelaide St. W., Toronto, Stock of Marbles Depleted By War War has finally hit the school yards and back lots. Winnipeg importers of agate and glass marbles which come from Ger- many and Japan, have not brought in stocks for more than a year and with the stocks exhausted Junior will have to get along on last year's winnings. Theoreti- cally, dealers said, the number of marbles in circulation should re- main more or less consistent— merely changing hands like race- track money. One 10 -year-old marble shark admitted having about 500. This, he claimed, was not hoarding, just a case of good marksmanship last year. Queen Elizabeth awls A "Fast One" II The Queen, touring Scotland, bowled a fast one at a miners' welfare centre and earned this tribute from the lawn bowls club president: "You threw a real good wood." A miner's wife had asked: "Will your Majesty throw a bowl??" While the King smiled and look- ed on, the Queen sped the jack up. Her Majesty followed with a bowl stopped within a yard of the jack. Press pictures showed the Queen to be a regular lawn bowl- ing stylist, both knees slightly bent and the right arm stretched out as the bowl sped down the ecord Shows Crow Lived Forty Years The Massachusetts Audubon So- ciety recently published some in- teresting material in connection with the life span of birds. Mi- grating birds are, of course, sub- jected to more hazards than those that remain in one place, although some of the former have attained long life. A white pelican, banded in Yellowstone Park in 1932, died in Montana in 1940, but a gannet, banded in Quebec in 1922, lived until 1939. In British Columbia, naturalists banded a glaucous -winged gull in 1925. It was found dead in the same province in 1936. The Arctic tern, which covers more miles in migration than any other bird, was recorded as having a ten-year life span; and the much - unaligned craw, hunted, dynamited as it is constantly, was found in one case to have lived for four- teen years. But the one for the record book is the partially -albino crow which was found dead at Arnold Arbo- retum, Boston., last year after a recorded existence of forty years, Revised Gas Rationing Plan Reduction in gasoline under the new rationing plan will chop stili further into the yearly mileage allowed Ontario motorists.

The United States, Britain and Russia had affixed their signatures to documents of far-reaching import. A mutual as- sistance pact between London and Moscow, a master lease -lend con- tract for supplies from . the American arsenal to the Red Army and 'understandings in regard to a second European front through such instruments the three might- iest members of the United Na- tions pledged their peoples and resources to a coordinated effort for the duration and in the peace o come. Almost three years after ritain picked up the gage of battle, almost a year after Russia's soil was invaded and half a year after the United States was struok at Pearl Harbor, the pros- pect appeared of an Allied blue- print to set against the aggres- ears' plans for new orders. Atlantic Charter As Basis The dramatic ocean rendezvous, in August of 1941, between Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Ohurchill laid the political found- ation. The Atlantic Charter listed the principles of non -aggression, s e 1 £ - determination, reciprocal trade, freedom of the seas, social,-. security and freedom from "fear and want" as the basis for "a better future for the world." The charter was accepted in the Dec- laration of the United Nations at the start of 1942. It still stands as the cornerstone on which the Allies intend to reconstruct post- war society. A global military strategy—the toughest field of all—is slowly emerging from a long round of staff talks spread from Ohung- king through Moscow and London to Washington. It appears to be based on the acceptance of Hitler - lie Germany as the most danger- ous of the aggressors, and there- fore the one to be struck first and hardest by a synchronized of- fensive, by the Soviet on the first front, by the British and Ameri- cans on a second front. The agree- ments disclosed last week touch on all these factors and represent the culmination of the drive for an efficiently coordinated United Nations. Mr. Brown Last week it was disclosed that Mr. Molotoff had flown to London and ytiahington in a Soviet bomb- ing plane manned by Soviet fliers. Official Britain and America wel- comed the representative of their ally warmly but with no clicking heels, rattling swords, blaring bands; he was called Mr. Brown to keep his identity secret until he had returned to his own coun- try. Dir. Brown—he spoke no Eng- lish, was accompanied by a Rus- sian interpreter—rode a suburban train from the airfield into Lon- don and not a commuter recogniz- ed him. He strolled the White House lawn in sight of thousands of office workers and went unrec- ognized. Pact With Britain Back in Moscow last week Mr. Molotoff reported to This govern - anent that Mr. Brown had been a very busy man on his trip. In ad- dition to the sight-seeing, there had been long hours of hard work. He had three great achievements to report. They were: (1) The signing of a twenty- ye.ar mutual assistance pact with Great Britain. There were two principal points in the pact. The first: "In virtue of the alliance estab- lashed between the United King- dom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the high con- tracting parties mutually under- take to afford one another mili- tary and other assistance against. Germany and all those States which are associated with her in acts off aggression in Europe." The second: "The high contracting parties declare their desire to unite with other likeminded State in adopt- ing proposals far common action to preserve peace and resist ag- gression in the post-war period." Lease -Lend With U. S. (2) The signing of a master lease -lend agreement with the United States, which was describ- ed by the United States State De. pertinent as an "additional link isa the chain of solidarity being forged by the United Nations in their twofold task of prosecuting the war against aggression to a arucoessful conclusion and of ere- atin;g a new and better world." (8) Agreement with both Ameri- ean and British leaders on "the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1942." War Production Program In order to complete the organ- isation needed for the most effec- tive use of the combined resourc- es of the United State and the United Kingdom for the prosecu- tion of the war, there is hereby established a Combined Produc- tion and Resources Board. From the -White House last week Dame these words to harness the 4reat industrial machines of Great Britain and the United States into one fighting team. They came backed by the authority of Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minis- ter Churchill. The war produc- t tion program of the two nations will not only be made as one but that program will be adjusted to continually meet changing mili- tary (requirements. At the same time a Combined Food Board was .charged with insuring ample food for the fighting men and civilians of all the United Nations. Second Front in Europe The orders meant that Great Britain and the United States are stripping for battles to come. They meant that factories in Sheffield, England, and Detroit, U.S.A., will work together build- ing tanks when tanks are needed, invasion barges when invasion !barges are needed, that raw ma- terials will be routed to the plants that can use them fastest, that shells made in Birmingham will fit guns made in Pittsburgh. Sonie of the plans under consideration are that ships returning from Eng- land would soon be carrying battle scrap for reworking into new guns, that America's aircraft factories may specialize in bombers while Britain turns out the fighters. The committee links together the war effort of 132,000,000 Amer- icans, 42,000,000 Britons, 11,000,- 000 Canadians, great industrial machines in the British Midlands and throughout Canada and the United States. Together they con- trol more than 48 per cent of the world's coal, 41 per cent of the world's icon ore, 61 per cent of the world's petroleum. B•ritain's big- gest asset, her empire, spread over almost one-fourth of the world's habitable laud, containing 500,- 000,000 people and vast sources o1 the stuffs of war, is open to the committee through the connec- tions of its various parts with the mother country. The material of war were being produced, assembled, given into the hands of the troops against the clay when the United Nations can grant Russia's request and open the second front in Europe, REG'LAR.

Lord Woolton, Minister of Food, pre- paring to open a "save bread, save convoys" exhibition at Charing Cross underground station, gave this advice on economy table man- ners: Do not break a roll, cut it. The remainder can be used in' the kitchen. Do not cut and butter bread in quantity. Cut from the loaf on the table as needed. Do not serve butter or jam 011 your plate. Spread it directly on the bread. -Over 1,200 Indians hays en., listed in the Canadian armed for- ces.
