The Labor peer, frequently cri- tical of the Admiralty, said this was evidence that. 13ritannia still rules the waves. 14e said 3,000.000 soldiers had been delivered overseas with the lois Qt only 1,348 men since the Ian of Prance and that 5.000,000 tons of Axis shipping had •been sunk and 3,D00,000 tons damaged to March, 1943. Two enemy battleships, 14 cruisers. 87 destroyers and many emiter lesser vessels have been sunk, he said, adding that the Italians had been unable to sink a single British ship so far. Lord Winster said that in two ent of three ,great convoys Rent to North Africa, not a ship or e. life was lost. Losses in convoy protection have been kept down to e n,e-half of one per cont. and the merchant navy has delivered 064- '600,000 tons & tfnports annually, be said. Lord 'Winster said at any given Content, 2,000 merchantmen and ileo warships were at sea. Merchant naval casualties ill the Hirst three years of war were placed at 16.000. Have You Heard? The sergeant halted the new sentry opposite the. man he was to relieve, "Gine over your orders," he said. The old sentry reeled off the routine instructions with confi- dence, but one of the special orders baffled him, "Come on, .man!" said the ser- geant, impatiently. "On no account," stammered the sentry, "are you to Iet any ques- tionable characters through the lines, except the colonel's wife!" —0— Bobby (time, 9 a.m., Sun- day); "Dad, did you go to Sun- day school when you were a little boy?" Dad: "i sure did—never missed a Sunday!" Bobby: "There. Mom! See? It won't do me any good, either." —0— Jutlge: "The jury finds you guilty." Prisoner: "That's a 1 I right, Judge. I know you're too ilitelii- gent to be influenced by what they say." . Judge: "You can take your choice, $10 or 10 days." Prisoner (still in foggy condi- tion): "I'll take the money, your' honor." —0— Sergeant: "if you could shoot as well as you eat, you'd be O.K." Recruit: "Well, I've only had this gun a fortnight, but I've been practising eating for 26 years." —0— An Aberdonian went to A.usira- Iia. 1.Vhen he returned three years later he found his three brothers, all with beards, at the railway station. "What's the big idea?" he ask- ed. "Ye ken quite well ye took the razor awe: wi' ye," was the reply. Corporal: "Where did you get that black eye?" Private: "i went to a dance and was struck by the beauty of the place." —0— Tr-acher: "Today we wili discuss one of the atmospheric phenomena a of nature.:4.s we walk outside on a cold day, what do we see on every hand?"

Convicts Show a a atrii tic pi. �it Prisoners Willingly Work Overtime on War Orders Freedom is where you find it, says The Hamilton Spectator. One doesn't look for freedom behind prison walls, or expect to find other than a limited personal love of it among those who are In sombre exile from the world. Yet it has remained for a group of con- victs to give unique expression to what freedom means as a way of life for humanity at large. The versatile nicotine lntrectl- aide, kills tucking insects on vegetables, fruits, fiow+ers and shrubs, One notice makes live gallons of garden spray. Sold everywhere. In the shops of the Ohio State Penitentiary "camouflage cloth" has been manufactured for the American forces. There was a tremendous need for 'this material, and those plants producing' it were urged to increase their output.. The warden of the Ohlo prison ap- proached the inmates and laid the matter before them. Would they like to do something for their country and help to defeat •the Axis tyrants? Would they care to. put in some overtime and tints make greater quantities of camou- flage cloth available to the army? The prisoners responded .with .a will. That was about one year ago, and since then no fewer than 600 of these men have volunteered to give up their evening creation and return to the prison mill for three hours each night. They did this heartily, after a full day's work at the same occupation. Not a machine has been idle on the vol- untary night shift since the war- den made his appeal. And the army is getting the cloth. The patriotic example set by these Ohio convicts requires no continent, although it would be interesting to hear what John L. Lewis and some other union lead- ers in the United States would say, as well as the strikers in war plants in Canada. Modern Father Not On The Job The modern father has resign- ed too many of his duties to others, states The Peterborough Examiner. The father of an earl- ier day was his own juvenile court, and performed the offices of judge and executioner with the greatest efficiency; he was his own truant officer and school inspector, questioning his clhil- dren on what they learned, and raising the roof when they did not learn enough; he was his own Dunn and Bradstreet, his own detective agency, and his own Dorothy Dix, investigating the financial, moral and social status of the young men his daughters wanted to marry; he was often unjust, often a tyrant, often a jompous ass, but he was never negligible, and too many modern fathers are just that.

According to Vance P..Eclwai'des of the International Paper Com- pang, 1f the supply of all types and kinds of paper should be stop- ped suddenly, the 'war would end in six months, for there is only that much in. reserve. About 30,000 pounds of blueprint paper are required in the building of a battleship. The army. needs huge quantities of building paper, sanitary Paper, cartons, shell con- tainers, code books, hospital sup- plies, printing, wrapping and writ- ing papers, target paper, etc. * * * Packages resistant to water va- por have been developed for the protection of such foods as lemon powder, dehydrated vegetables and soups, powdered milk and eggs, flour, cereal, and dessert powders. Papers to protect articlei'during shipping have been developed which are insect -proof, rat -proof, and capable of being submerged in the surf „for 24 hours without damage to the contents, Much of the packaging for the army must be designed to withstand temper- ature variations of from 20 de- grees Fahrenheit below zero to 130 degrees above. r, * * Paper also has been put to some rather astonishing and unprece- dented uses. For instance, it has been used as a substitute for can- vas in stretchers; as a substitute for steel strips in the strapping of light bundles; as fina to guide the flight of incendiary bombs; as hand grenade cases; for a sub- Istituto -for burlap in sand bags; etc. And all of these military uses are over and above the enormous quantities of paper used by civ- ilians, including the emergency packing of many products pre- viously put up in tins, thus' effect- ing savings of millions of pounds of strategically important tin an- ' nually.
