The sight, loss is due to carbon monoxide from the burning tip. This loss is not likely to be noticed in normal life, nor does it have any known bad effects on health. But the impairment is important to • night -fighting aviators working sit the threshold of vision, the point where they can just •barely discern enemies or objectives. Until the discovery was reported it had not been believed the carbon monoxide in a single smoke could affect vision. Investigation showed that inhal- , ing three cigarettes is equivalent to the loss of vision which comes at about 8,000 -feet altitude. The loss of sight sensitivity at this height doesn't bother air pas- sengers. But it is so important in war to avoid the slight change that military aviators at night breathe pure oxygen, from the ground up, the oxygen being a complete antit- dote. In other experiments, they found that the glucose from a high sugar diet partly overcomes the sight im- pairment which is caused by the low oxygen of altitude. An Older London Coming To Light Even amid the horrors of air raids and robot bomb attacks, now believed to be virtually over, some odd points of interest are coming to light in London, says The Brant- ford Expositor. On several oc easions, German explosives have. torn craters which have exposed forgotten relics of the great city's. past. At one place two bastions and part of an ancient Roman wall have been revealed, together with some masonry ordered by Alfred the Great. Foundations of buildings destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666 have also been literally brought into view again. To say that history is buried beneath Londons' pave- ments is no mere figure of speech. National Fire Prevention Week The official proclamation making October 8-14 National Fire Pre- vention ,Vicek urges that all farm buildings and their surroundings be carefully inspected and all fire hazards remedied. Check chimneys for loose bricks, the electric wiring in house and barn, the metal sheer back of the stove, and other possi- ble fire hazards. King George Awards Military Decorations All military decorations are awarded by King George VI, says the Windsor Star. From time to time it is mentioned that the Can- adian Government or some Can- adian general has bestowed the Military Cross or the Military Me- dal on this or that soldier. Or, a sailor or airman has been given a decoration. These decorations may be recom- mended by a general or by the Dominion Government, but it is the King who gives the awards. No one else has the power to make the fi- nal decisions. UNDER NAZI GUNS German bayonets and barbed wire surrounded Analienborg Palace, Copenhagen, home of Denmark's King Christian X, above, and the royal family, following pitched battle between Danish police and German troops. Blast Precautions Commenting on the effects blast precautions have had on English civilian life, a London correspon- dent writes. "There can hardly be a home in Southern England which has not recently rearranged its furniture with a view to safety from blast, rather than decorative appearance. We have also become ,quite ex- pert at the technique of lying down, wherever we may be, in moments of danger. There is real- ly an art in doing this effectively, as you must not lie flat, but sup- ported just off the ground by el- bows and knees, lest the blast tre- mors through the earth do unmen- tionable things to your interior. Blast is a serious subject of dis- cussion and study nowadays."

Explanation by the Morn treal Gazette of What UNRRA Stands For and How It Functions UNRRA is first of all an inter- , national organization, dedicated to the task of bringing prompt aid and relief to the people — all the people — of countries liberated by the armies of the United Nations in this war. This help includes the provision of food, clothing and shelter, aid In the prevention of disease and pestilence, the return of prisoners and exiles to their hones, assist- ance in the resumption of urgently needed .agricultural and industrial production and the restoration of essential public services. What Is Unrra? • It is a practical organization based on the practical knowledge that there can be no secure peace, no fruits of victory for the victors, .until the people of these countries can be restored to normal and self-sustaining existence. UNRRA is temporary in func- tion. It ceases to be with the solv- ing of relief and rehabilitation problems in liberated territories. UNRRA does not supply aid free. Any liberated nation whose ' Government is in position to pay In foreign exchange must pay for. all supplies distributed. How Is Unrra Financed? Many people ask "How is UN- RRA financed?" The answer is simple. Funds consist of contributions from each member country of 1 percent. of its national income for the year ending June 30, 1943. The United States contribution is $1,350,000,- 000. Great Britain's is $320,000,- 000. Canada's is $77,000,000. Be- sides this all member countries contribute, in proportion, to admi- nistrative expenses as they arise. The total sum to be contributed, for what is calculated to be the entire relief period, is $2,000,000,- 000. How Is Unrra Set Up? Others ask: "How is. UNRRA set up?" That is simple also. It is a council consisting of one member from each of the 44 na- tions., This council decides policies, meets twice a year; is meeting now in Montreal. Whd Does Actual Work? Who does the actual work — the real relief? That is done by Field Missions, consisting of permanent, salaried officials under a chief officer who has broad powers and is respon- sible to the director general. Such a mission (600 people) is now in Cairo preparing to move into the Balkans ae soon as the military authorities say the word. UNRRA does not operate in ex - enemy . countries at the moment.

'MECCA" OINTMENT O* ders-lneCogn it A recent survey by the Canadian Institute of Public Opinion reveals the diisttrbing fact that only twenty-two percent of Canadians know what a an order -in -council is . . It is part of the British and Canadian ;parliamentary system that the Governor-in-ouncil, i.e., the Government of the day, may meet emergent necessities during the long recess between sessions of Parliament with an order -in - council which has the force and effect of law, Traditionally, the principle involved • was eventually ratified by statute. may operate only in liberated coun- tries. It may decide during this present session to operate in ex - enemy countries — in Italy or Germany. There is some disagree- ment about this subject among the delegate - but officials are con- fident that a solution will be worked out. UNRRA operates only at the request of the military during the military period of liberiating a country. After the military period it is at the request of and in agree- ment with the national authorities of liberated countries. It procures its supplies through the appropriate agencies of its member nations. It gets its food, for instance, like everyone else through the Combined Food boards. , Philosophy of Unrra The constitution of UNRRA says that it Bust carry out its relief and rehabilitation program without discrimination of any kind. Its philosophy has been sum- mued up by Director -General Lehman who said: "The guiding light. of. UNRRA must be the prin- ciple of helping people to help themselves."
