PRINGLB HE 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 of Norman 13. Wal- ton, whose pro- motion to the position of executive vice-president was recently announced by President R C. Vaughan. Mr. Walton, vice-president of operation, maintenance and construction prior to this appointment, 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 of 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 of industry, agriculture and natural resources. More than 2,500 locomo- tives and some 80,000 freight cars were it continuous service to handle this traffic, If all C.N.R. freight and passenger equipment, locomotives and work cars, could beset out on a single line of track, buffer to buffer, they would reach from Toronto to 1\linalci, almost 1,100 miles. Two other important staff appoint- ments resulting from the treinendous 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 D. WALTON 3. P. 3013NSON hint 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. i -Ie advanced front his first 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 191.9 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 in 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 smolt. town was also an expert veterin- ary surgeon. One night the tele- phone rang. The chief cdnstable's wife answered. "Is that 2dr. Jenkins?" asked .an agitated voice. "Do you want My husband in. his 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." Magistrate: "You cannot drive now for two years, for you're a danger to pedes- trians." Def°naant: "But your honor, my living depends on it." Magistrate: "So d o e s 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 is the heel of Italy." "What are you turning around for John?" ` "I've just discovered we've come five hundred and ten miles since morning; we'll have to run back to the five - hundred - mile mark and -change the oil." At an afternoon tea an over- ;plump matron was partaking gen- erously 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- nuts." He; "h she progressive or conservative?" She: "I don't know. She wears last year's fiat, drives this year's car, and lives on next year's income." An Edinburgh woman walked and into a war savings pavilion 11 to laid her board on the table with a tiecisiv.e firmness. "I've 'n saving to di- vorcethis my husband," she said, "but I've made up my mind now to dnaHitler with Il t1�1 first " Cavalry Recruit: "I don't like the, look of the horse's head, sir'." Sergeaute "Oh, don't worry. You'll soon get over the HOW CAN I? ? ? Q. How can I reprove 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 during 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 slips 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 1 clean wrought iron fixtures and ornaments? .A. Rub with a woolen rag, moistened with any thin oil, such as paraffin or 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 Overhead W hen President Rotteevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and their staffs were conferring in a villa at Casablanca, fighter planes kept roaring overhead, says the Windsor Star. Triose 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..l'toose- velt and Mr. Churchill, Hitler would willingly Have sacrificed Many •fighters and bombers to do that. The fighter guard overhead wt(s something now in the way of sen- tinels that has been added by the trend 'of modern war. Brazil is surpassed in size by only three countries: the U.S.S.R., China and Canada.

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING RADIO 14'1 WSPAPER,S Many newspapers today' earry "wire photo" pictures, which Kaye been sent to the paper over wires from distant points. The process 01 sending newepapers 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' cireuit.. The process, called radio fae- simile, involves (at the tr tnsinis- 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 .back into a fac- simile or reproduction of the original pictures, printing, etc. • In one type of radio facsimile - receiver, a stylus is driven back and forth across a continuous roll of spacial. dray -electrolytic paper. This paper is affected by electrie,. 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 should be pointed out that radio facsimile newspapers are ac- tu�i rept'xhictions of news pages, complete with headlines, captions, illustrations and all, 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.

Bells Protect Sheep From Killer Dogs Heavy claims in .Elderslie Township for sheep killed and in; jueecl by dogs lend particular in- terest to an Ontario farmer's as section that he never had any trouble with dogs bothering his sheep, says The Chesley Enter- prise. He put an open bell around the neck of every fourth or fifth sheep (the kind of bells farmers used to wear on their horses) and he found that these bells scared dogs, as they do not like them they gave the farmer in- dication if his sheep were attack- ed, and the bells tend to keep the sheep together.
