HomeMy WebLinkAboutZurich Herald, 1944-07-27, Page 7OTTAWA REPORTS That Canada Is Looking Forward To Regular Sale Of Consumer Goods With Russia Russia's growing importance in the Canadian picture is reflected in the recent Government an- nouncement that since April 1 nearly ten million pounds of lard have been shipped to the U.S.S.R. under Mutual Aid arrangements. Russia, three times the size of Can- ada, is next to the United States, our nearest neighbor. Unlike Canada, she has consistently been developing her farthest North territories as part of her economic plan. While details of our in- creasing trade are not revealed, it 3a known that weapons of war, aluminum and nickel, railway equipment, machine tool,s cattle, horses and grain have gone for- ward from this country under Mutual Aid. Outside of Mutual Aid, Russia placed an order to the value of 28 million dollars for Canadian hydro -electric equipment n short time ago. In addition to the export of Canadian materials for the rebuilding of Soviet heavy Industry and her broken cities, a regular sale of consumer goods with the U.S.S.R. is anticipated here. * * . * Canada's increasingly large ship- ments of bacon to the United Kingdom were probably a major !actor in the increase of the British -ration from four to six ounces a week, according to Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture. An estimated 85% of Britain's bacon reguirement are met by this Dominion. The quantity of hogs marketed in the first six months of this year was 5,250,000, an increase of 60% over the sante period of 1948, the Department of Agriculture announced last week. Up to July 1, Canadian Meat Board purchases of bacon for the United Kingdom totalled 464,000.- 000 lbs. A contract to supply the United Kingdom with a minimum of a hundred million lbs of beef over a two-year period was announced by Mr. Gardiner in the House of Commons on July 15, The Meat Board bougl.t 58 million lbs, of beef in the last six months for shipment abroad. The Minister said that the new contract would not bring back meat rationing here as supplies are sufficient for both contract and domestic market needs. The British empire covers about one-fourth of the world's habitable land surface. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Borns Doctors at a United States naval hospital are successfully treating burns with a material of which the navy will never have a short- age—salt water. The salt water used is a double strength solution of sodium .chlor- ide made up in the laboratory, but the doctors say that in an emerg- ency, buckets of sea water could be utlized ,after heating to remove bacteria. Capt, William Kirkham, chief of San Diego's plastic st.rgery service says the tip-off on the effectiveness of salt water for combat burns cane during the British evacution of Dunkerque in 1940. He said burned men rescued from the water after some time fared better than did men whose burns had not been bathed in salt water. "The explanation is simple," he said. "A burn is just like any other wound. It has to be kept clean and salt water keeps it clean." The special solutions of salt wat- er are applied in two ways: by sat- urating light -weight dressings, or by having the burned men bathe in a tub filled with the water. The burns are first cleaned with white soap and plain water. Robots (A tribute to the people of Southern England) They say that we are scared te death, They're driving us insane, We cannot sleep by day or night, We've robots on the brain. These dark assassins of the air, Without a human hand Have paralysed us, every one, On sea, and air, and land. It won't be many days before In terror and dismay, We plead to Hitler on our knees To keep robots away. They've killed so many children, Old mea and women too, The rest of us have all gone nuts And don't know what to do. If Germans will believe such stuff They'd better soon get wise. It's more of Goebbel's chloroform, Based on a pack of lies. For every robot that they send' (This is a certain bet) Makes us more angry, steels our hearts, And more determined yet. We'll beat the daylights from the Hun, And not the Hun, alone. The dirty Jap will take the rap And sink just like a stone. We're one for all and all for on( At top the mighty four; So let the robots freely fly, They soon will send no more. T. B. Gleave `Maquis' Stir Up Trouble For Nazis The Maquis, the French under- ground fighting organization which Is causing the Germans so much trouble in southern France took its name from the appellation bestowed upon Corsican bandits in Napol- eon's time. The word (pronounced mackee) means undergrowth, par- ticularly the thick brushwood that grows in Corsica and that fur- nished the bandits good hiding places. Mong the leaders of the Maquis are high officers of the French Army who refused to bow to Nazi domination as relayed through Pe- tain's Vichy government. THEIR GAME IS ENDED to v; While their fellow -countrymen suffered under Nazi oppression, the two French civilians in the photo above led a comparatively easy life as reward for collaborating With the Germane. They are !aiding their km after "being sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor.

Is it necessary that a wedding gift always be sent before the wed- ding day? 4. If a first invitation is accepted from an acquaintance, does it mean that one expects to include this person who sent the invitation in one's own social life? 5. When entertaining guests and other people call, is it necessary • to ask them to stay awhile? 6. Is it correct to telephone an. acceptance to an invitation? Answers 1. This is usually applied to one who monopolizes the conversation, who is always contradicting his companions, and one who knows better than anyone else about everything. 2. This would depend upon circumstances. If, as a rule, the maid is careful and conscien- tious, she should not be asked to do so, 8. Yes, always. 4. Yes; a social favor should not be ac- cepted unless you expect to return it. 5. Yes; even if one does not care particularly about these people, It would be very inhospitable to display the least annoyance. 6. Not unless the invitation is extended to you by telephone.

The resident, an old sea cap- tain, had been annoyed by boys playing football. Every time they kicked the ball into the garden and climbed over the fence they tramp- led on his flowers. After he put up the notice he had no further trou- ble, the youngsters believing that hydrangea was the name of a snake. Similarly, an American farmer has kept trespassers from his hazel- 1,^lues, A botanist told him the technical name of the hazel, and he put up the following sign: "Trespassers take warning. All per- sons entering this wood do so at their own risk, for though common snakes are not often found, the Corylus Americana abounds every- where about here and never gives warning of its presence."

Charles McCrea Predicts Great Future For Yellowknife District ,Hon. Charles McCrea, K.C,, president, Negus Mines, Ltd., ex- pressed the opinion on his recent return from a fortnight's visit to Yellowknife, Northwest Territory, that a great future awaits that district when the war is over. He found general expectation that all the liveliness in claim -staking, dia- mond -drilling a n d prospecting will result in new finds during the coming season. When the war is over, re- opening of the Con, Rycon, Ptar- migan and Thompson Lundmark mines and the active develop- ment of Giant Yellowknife will mean exceptional activity in the Yellowknife camp and there is every indication of its becoming an important gold area. Mr. McCrea reports greatly improved air service since his last visit in 1940. The prelimin- ary operation of the new landing field prepared by Canadian Pac- ific Airlines was a real recog- nition of the importance of the area. A through trip may now be made on wheels instead of by wheels partly, and pontoons part- ly, on the Yellowknife run. Mr. McCrea expressed con- siderable pride in the fact that Negus Mines, started only in 1989, had n e ve r t h eless continued through all the difficult war years. He was accompanied by Mr. Watkin Samuel, A.C.S.M., vice-president and consulting en- gineer. The Bank-Estra group (Payne option) was studied care- fully and adjoining claims staked. Previous prospecting and explor- ation of this group of claims un- der option last season had dis- closed a number of gold finds and Samuel mapped out a drilling campaign. A drill Is doing ex- ploratory work near Kam Lake geological structure where favor- able shears and veins containing gold indicate promise. The 100 claims included in the Payne group and in the new claims will be maintained by all the work needed for that pur- pose. This k in line with Negus policy of continued pro- duction at the mine and vigor- ous exploration by drilling and prospecting in the new areas. Keep Firearms • From. Children Adults who own or have control over firearms also have a solemn obligation to keep them from child- ren in whose hands they might be a menace to themselves and others. Tragic emphasis has been placed on this observation by a lengthy list of recent accidental shootings. Even with the sale of ammuni- tion subject to priority permits, there has been entirely too much shooting by boys in and around the city. A rifle and box of ammu- nition around the house are an ever-present temptation to a small boy; a simple admonition to leave them alone often isn't enough. A .22 rifle is a highly lethal wea- pon and the carrying power of its ammunition might amaze many persons. It is not a toy. If you have firearms around the house, put them where young children cannot pos- sibly get their hands on them.
