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, Ring -Around -The -Rosy R.

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. Sandpaper Is Good • Remover Of Shine Sandpapering and sponging are two of the treatments for shine on wool clothes found succesful by clothing specialists.

The nap may then be lifted by brisk brushing or even by the fine sand- papering, In making over an old navy blue coat that had been discarded because of worn looking patches through the yarn, the clothing specialists first washed the material, then brushed it lightiy with dark blue dye. When dry they applied fine sandpaper to lift the nap. This put the cloth in such good shape that when made over, the coat looked new and the worn spots were not noticeable.

Company, this new rocket -type aircraft may 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- COUGN SYR Invaluable for COUGHS—COLDS BRONCHITIS ASTHMA WHOOPING COUGH' SIMPLE SORE THROAT ildren love Veno's ing that a heavy bomb was screaming dowel. The mystery plane's arrival was heraldedb y a distant screech which grew in volume until it sounded like a giant whistling kettle. Then the rumble of its powerful engines was heard as the plane shot overhead.. The people soon came to know it, however, as the flights be. came more frequent, and they finally dubbed it "The Squirt." 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. Raindrops are larger in aum- mer than in winter.
