PRINGLB drills, vital part which the Canadian Nat- ional system is playing in Can- ada's war effort is graphically shown in a re- view of the branch of the railway's activi- ties which comes under the direct supervision o f Norman 8. Wal- ton, whose pro- motion to the position of executive vice-president wasrecentlyannounced by President R. C. Vaughan. Mr. Walton, vice-president of operation, maintenance and construction prior to thisappointment, will continue to exercise Jurisdiction over this depart- ment, and perform such other duties as the president may delegate to him. Under the direction of Mr. Walton are the forces concerned with the op- eration off trains, the maintenance of track and structures, and the com- pany's�motive power and car shops. He also has charge of the company's shipbuilding operations. During the year 1942, this force moved more than 72,000,000 tons of munitions of war and other products ,.i,d of industry, agriculture and natural :'l. resources. More than 2,500 locomo- M. tives and some 80,000 freight cars were in continuous service to handle • this traffic. If all C.N.R. freight and passenger equipment, locomotives and work cars, could be set out on a single line of track, buffer to buffer, they would reach from Toronto to Minaki, almost 1,100 miles. Two other important staff appoint- ments resulting from the tremendous increase in wartime traffic were also announced, that of J. F. Pringle to be general manager of the Atlantic Region, and J. P. Johnson to succeed NORMAN B. WALTON J. P. JOHNSON him as chief of transportation for the System. The latter was form- erly general su- perintendent of the Southern Ontario district. Mr. Pringle will relieve W. U. Ap- pleton, vice-presi- dent of the region of much of the direct work con- nected with the extensive traffic over the railway's eastern lines. Mr. Appleton formerly carried on the duties both of vice- president and general manager. Mr. Walton, a native of Palmer- ston, Ont., has had 42 years' experi- ence in railroading. He advanced from his fust job as clerk and stenographer through the despatcher's office to many supervisory positions which provided him with a wide knowledge of operating and traffic conditions. He has held important posts at Winnipeg, Edmonton, Prince Rupert and other points in western Canada. Mr. Pringle began his service with the Canadian National Railways in 1919 as an assistant engineer at Mont- real. After filling, important positions in that city and in Ontario he was appointed chief of transportation for the System in 1941. Mr. Johnson, commencing as a tele- grapher with the Grand Trunk in 1905, has had a railway career which gained him an intimate knowledge of the National System ire Ontario and throughout the west where he occu- pied 'Important supervisory positions for 17 years before his appointment to North Bay in 1936, and to To- ronto five years later. Have You Heard? , The chief constable of a small town was also an expert veterin- ary surgeon. One night the tele- phone rang, The chief•constable'is 'wife answered. "Is• that Mr. Jenkins?" asked an agitated voice. , "Do- you want my 'husband:1w Nies capacity as' veterinary -surgeon or as chief constable?" "Both, madam," came the reply. "We can't get our bulldog to open his, mouth, and there's a burglar in it." Magistrates "You cannot arrive now for two years, for you're a danger to pedes- trians. " Defendant: "But your honor, my living depends on it." Magistrates "So does theirs," The spread of cinema -acquired American slang among schoolboys is illustrated by this "howler." In the pre -Christmas examination a class of evacuated Cockney boys at a school in the West, was asked what was understood by the ex- pression "the heel of Italy." One boy wrote: "Mussolini ie the heel of Italy." "What are you turning around for John?" "I've just discovered we've tome five hundred and ten miles since morning; we'll have to run back to the five. hundred - nano mark and change the oil." At an afternoon tea an over - /dump matron was partaking gen- erousty of the tiny round sugared cakes.. "Aren't you afraid to eat so many of them?" inquired a friend. "Not at all," replied the other. "They aren't fattening. They're just the 'holes' out of dough - ants." Be: "Is she progressive or conservative?" She: "I don't know, She wears last year's hat, drives this year's car, and lives en next 'year's income."

You'll seen get over WHAT SCIENCE On To Tripoli" Modern Etiquette IS DOING ritish War Cry By Roberta Lee RADIO NEWSPAPERS Many newspapers today carry "wire photo" pictures, .which have been. sent to the paper over wires from distant points. The process of sending newspapers by radio does not differ greatly from the wire photo method except that the impulses are sent by radio waves rater than as pulsations in a current in an electric circuit. The process, called radio fac- simile, involves (at the transmis- sion end) the changing of the varying' tones of white, gray, and black into corresponding radio sig- nals; broadcasting these signals; and (at the receiving end) chang- ing the signals bank .into a 'fac- simile or reproduction of the original pictures, printing, etc. HOW CAN 1? ? ? Q. How can I remove a bit of egg yolk that has accidentally gotten into the white when separ- ating the two? A. Use a small piece of wet cloth to remove the yolk; it will cling readily to the cloth. Q. How can I keep the window boxes looking ::attractive ' &tri ne' the ;winter months? A. Instead of allowing the window boxes to remain empty all winter, they can be made to look attractive with cedar or pine branches, adding a few sprigs of bittersweet to brighten them. Q. How can I iron slip so that they will not stretch? A. Remember to iron slips crosswise instead of up and down. This tends to prevent the slip from showing below the skirtline. Q. How can I clean wrought iron fixtures and ornaments? A, Rub with a. woolen rag, moistened with any thin oil, such as paraffin oh kerosene. Q. How can I keep empty fruit jars sweet? A. A little powdered borax sprinkled in empty fruit jars with the cover screwed on tightly will keep them sweet until needed an- other year. Fighter Planes Roared Overheard a * "Nothing Will S to p is Now," Said Montgomery The British Sth Arrny's final. drive to clean up Triaolitanie be- gan at dawn, January 15, with General Sir Bernard MontgomerY''s war cry: "Olt to Tripoli!" His order of the day was read to the troops bundled together in „e rearallagrouus just before they at- tacked. It said: "Leading units of the 8th Army are now only 200 miles tram Tri- poli. The Stb Array is going to Tripoli. "Tripoli is the only town in the Italian overseas empire still re- maining in their possession, There- fore we will take it from them; they will then have no empire. "If each one of us, whether front -lisle soldier or officer, or man whose duty is performed in some ether sphere, puts his whole heart and soul into this , next contest, then nothing can stop us. Nothing has stopped us since the Battle of Egypt. began October 23. Noth- ing will stop us naw. "Some must be back to begin with; but we will all be in the bunt eventually. "On to Tripoli! "Our families and friends in the Home Country will be proud when they have beard we have captured this place." In one type of radio facsimile receiver, a stylus is driven back and forth across a continuous roll of special dry -electrolytic paper. This paper is affected by electric ' current, turning dark in propor tion to the amount of current passed through it. A current, whose variations correspond to the variations in light and shade of the original copy, is sent through the moving stylus and in this manner the, light and shade of the pictures and printed matter of a news- paper may be reproduced by radio. It shoulri be pointed out that radio facsimile newspapers are ac- turd repleeductions of news pages,. complete with headlines, captions, illustrations and all. * a w Radio facsimile has various practical uses. Weather maps, prepared by shore meteorologists, may be radioed to ships at sea; fingerprints and other data may be flashed through space between distant police departments; and it is possible for a bank cheque, signed in London, to be radioed across the Atlantic and be hon- ored, as reproduced by radio fac- simile, in New York. As a newspaper, a radio fac- simile set in the home could be tuned in (perhaps automatically) when music and speech broadcasts leave the air at night, and the radio would print your morning paper for you while you sleep. W. P. in the Christian Sci- ence Monitor. When President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and their staffs were conferring in a villa at Casablanca, fighter planes kept roaring overhead, says the Windsor Star. Those planes would be there to fight off any enemy bombers or fighters that might have learned of the secret meeting and tried to shoot up the conference. There was always the possibility some- one had tipped off the enemy. Had he known, he would have tried hard to get both Mr. Roose- velt and Mr. Churchill. Hitler would willingly have' sacrificed many fighters and bombers to do that. The fighter guard •overhead was something new in the way of sen- tinels' that has been added by the trend of modern war. Brazil i3 surpassed hi size by only three countries. the U.S.S.R., China and Canada.
