Those Old Fur
Coats Will Make
Seamen's Vests
3,000 Fur Vests Are Urgently
Needed For Protection
Of Canadian Seamen
The, Ontario Division of the
Seamen's Fur Vests War Projects
is again appealing to the public
for gifts of furs or old fur coats,
says the Toronto Daily Star,
These will bee turned into warm
vests to protect seamen from the
biting cold ofethe North Atlan-
tic.
There is urgent need of many
of these warm garments. With
the public co-operation, this or-
ganization hopes it will this year
supply at least 3,000 more fur
vests to Canadian seamen.. "
Tlie immediate and urgent
need is contributions of old fur
teats, It does not matter in what
•condition they are, the skill of
the fur workers can turn them
into warns fur, vests for the sea-
men. , ,
Letter of Thanks •
A. letter, which arrived 'a fort-
night ago,, signed by Lieut. Gor-
don D. Campbell, commanding of-
ficer, H.M,C.S. Truro, stated:
"Not so long ago 25 fur -lined
jackets carne aboard this ship.
Their arrival was watched with
interest by members of the crew,'
most of whom had been out on
the North Atlantic before, and
knew just how eold it can get
there, and what protection your
rackets afford. In due course they
were distributed and once again
the eager eyes were evident.
"If you could come aboard
some night when we are at sea
and watch how your jackets are
passed about by members of the
•crew coming off and going • on
watch, this• letter of thanks would
not be necessary, Each member
of the crew stands eight hours
on watch duty per day, but your
jackets are on 24 hours duty."

It is hoped that as many Cana-
dians as find it possible will
quickly make their contributions
of old or new furs, and in this
way participate in an important
war service,

OTTAWA' REPORTS.
That New Order Covering Small
Arms Ammunition contains
Good News For Farmers
The Wartime Prices a71d TVrade
Board announced this meek .that
some types of small aryls ainanun-
it'ion will be free of rationing and
will be available in some stores
where there may be stocks on
hand. The list of ammunition
so affected is stated by the board
to be types which longer are
being produced; but no doubt
plenty of guns hanging on farm-
house walls are no's the latest
thing in production either,
The regulations governing dis-
tribution of ammunition still ra-
tioned have, however, been some-
what changed. The new order
plugs any leaks that may have
developed in distribution pro-
cedure.
* *
Under the old order those es-
sential users who were eligible
for supplies were divided into two
groups, (1) a prospector; a person
who relies on hunting of wild
game and birds for food; and a
person who requires ammunition
as a means of protecting live-
stock and other animals, poultry
and ether birds, and crops from
predatory animals, rodents and
birds, (2) a person duly author-
ized to purchase small arms am-
munition for the Royal Canadian
Police or any provincial, mun-
icipal oi railway police force, or
any penal institution; a person
duly authorized to purchase small
arms ammunition for an industrial
plant, bank, railway, public
utility company or other com-
mercial establishment for the pur-
pose of supplying ammunition to
guards engaged in the protection
4f property, a trapper licensed
as such by a department of the
government of Canada or of a
provincial government; a rifle,
revolver club, provided it has ob-
tained the written permission of
the Director of Small Arens Ani -
munition.
* * *
The first group was required to
make application to their nearest
rationing office before purchase
coud be made. The second after
filling out the required essentiality
certificate was permitted to pur-
chase direct from the stores. In
future, no distinction will be shown
and all must make their application
through the board on a new form
issued for the purlose.
It is expected that during 1944
there will be a three -fold increase
in production of small arms am-
munition and there is a ray of hope
. that sportsmen may get a limited
supply. The bulk of production
will still be directed North where
Eskimos, Indians, etc., rely upon it
for their living.

ix; soon joining in aerial warfare.
In a dispatch from London the
Daily Mail said the planes prob-
ably had, a top speed of between
500 and 600 miles an hour.
Several hundred successful
flights have been carried out by
American pilots in the United
States and by British pilots with
similar British aircraft in Eng-
land, all without a single mishap,
the statement said,
Researeh work on the jet -pro-
pulsion engines was begun in
1938 in Great Britain by Group
Capt, Frank Whittle of the A.A.F.
and his preliminary engine ran
successfully in April, 1937.
Better Use of Gun Eepected
The statement diseiosed that
the British Air Ministry. placed
its first order for a plane using
jet -propulsion engines with the
Gloucester Aircraft Company,
Ltd. in 1939,
"The first successful flight of
this aircraft was in May, 1941,1'
said the statement.
In addition to tremendous
speed at high altitude, where the
standard -type plane's propeller
must whirl faster to maintain
speed, in the thin air, the jet -pro-
pulsion engines are expected to
eliminate the need for synchron-
ization of guns and propellers.
This will permit better use of the
guns.
The Jet Principle
The new United Nations jet-
piopelled fighter was not reached
at a single bound, writes W.K. in
the New York 'Tunes. Exhaust
gases have been used by the
British, Germano, Italians and
Anierican to kick a heavily loaded
airplane forward and thus help
the engine get it off the ground.
Even before this, it has been
found by the Frenchman, Rene
Lorin, that when air is admitted
into a radiator duct at high
speed, slowed down (with a con-
sequent increase in pressure),
heated, and then expanded
through a nozzle'
it can exert a
owerful forward thrust. The
principle is more easily applied
to liquid -cooled then to air-cool-
ed engines. All thi.4.,•amounts to
letting .the radiator"Help the en-
gine push the plane.
In Thin Air
Jet propulsion is necessary if
`W6' are to exceed the possibilities
of propellers. A propeller literal-
ly screws its way through the
air. The blades cause a partial
vacuum. The greater the den-
sity of the air, the greater is the
efficiency of the propeller. Am
we rise, the air becomes thinner.
Finally a point is reached at
which no propeller will "bite."
The ceiling has been reached.
With the jet propulsion exactly
the opposite holds good. The
less air there is the more effici-
ent is the motor. If the ejected
gas has an expansion efficiency
of 4,000 feet a second at rest,
the same force exerted in motion
would increase the speed up to a
point where the maximum effici-
ency is reached at something like
10,000 miles an hour. Jet•propul-
sion gets better and better as
speed and height increase,
As a mater of fact, with a fuel
composed of liquid oxygen and
gasoline, jet • velocities of 12,000
feet a second have been obtain-
ed, The problem is how to handle
the heat and how to control the
plane in flight.
Dubbed "The Squirt"
Whether or not jet -driven
planes will play a major role in
this war remains to b seen. Some
observers claim they have watch-
ed this plane, streaking about the
skies over Britain flash ahead
of the famous Spitfire fighter.
But although it is said that
the jet plane soon will be in full
production, it is recognized it may
be some time before it could be -
conte a decisive war weapon.
When one of the new British
American jet-propelled planes first
flew over the outer Loudon area
in an experimental flight, many
persons rushed for shelter, think-

Underground Ready
For Allied Invasion
Only the initiated know how
well the French underground has
prepared for Allied invasion, says
Newsweek. It would be dangerous
to reveal details, but it can be
said that an overall, piaster plan
of action has been drawn up.
Apparently, the underground ex•
peets the Allies to come from the
south, since men have been desig-
nated to take over every important
government post in the Mediter-
ranean area, Preparations are not
so well advaced elsewhere. Armed
groups are ready to handle all
Vichy resistance though not, of
course, strong concentrations of
German troops. The ;'underground
has promised to await a landing
before striking and to obey Allied
radio orders. However, it Is warn-
ed that should the orders be held
up for any reason after military
operations begin in France, the
people will strike anyway.
