The King Practiced With Tommy Gun
When Invasion Threatened. Britain
Prime Minister Winston
churchill 'in a moving address of
ongratulation to King George on
e victorious conclusion of the
yar in Europe disclosed to the
ouse of Commons that in the
'days when Britain was threatened
t3ritlt invasion, the Ring practiced
'with a totnsny gun and rifle in the
karden of Buckingham Palace,
Mr. Churchill said that during
the first days of his administra-
!Mon in 1940, the Ring often came
into their luncheon conferences
4rom his target practice.
"If it had come to a last stat}cl
in London—a matter which hal
been considered at one • titre,"
4t�:aid Ivir. Churchill, "I have no
doubt that His Majesty would
have come very near to departing
from his usual constitutional cor-
rectitude by disregarding the ad-
vice of his Ministers."
In a warm. tribute to the stead-
fastness and leadership of the
King. Mr. Churchill said with emo-
tion:
"I do not think any Prime Min-
ister has ever received so much
personal kindness and encourage-
ment from his sovereign as 1 have,
"He •is well beloved• because of
lis courage, of his 'simple way of
iving and of his tireless. attention
to duty."
The Prime Minister also extoled
Queen Elizabeth for her war work.
• "I ata sure," he said, "that many
an aching' heart has found some
Solace in her gracious smile."
Mr. Churchill said the Ring re-
ceives him in audience once a week
When most of their business is
'done at lunch.
"We have the strongest Parlia-
ment in the world," Mr. Churchill
'said, in conclusion. "We have the
oldest and most famous, most hon-
ored. most secure and most ser-
viceable monarchy in the world.
"The Ring and Parliament both
rest safely and solidly upon the
will of the people expressed by free
and fair election on a basis of uni-
versal suffrage.

Britain `Drafts'
POW For Work
Nazi Captives in Britain To
Help Clear 'Blitz' Areas
The British Ministry of Works
announced German prisoners of
-war would start work at once to
help rebuild damage they caused
in Britain.
No fanatical Nazis will be al-
lowed in the battalions that will
work on roadmaking, drainage,
site preparation, sewer construc-
tion, and clearing of rubble .from
bombed buildings.
Britain needs a million houses
at this present moment. I3 ortho-
dox labor (markets only are Wi-
ped .there is not the slightest
chance of getting sufficient help.
For the coming year Britain will
have available only half the num-
ber
umber of building workers it emtpioy-
ed in 1939.
Under War Office
The War Office will settle how
r long they work, what conditions
they will work under, and what
and how much food they will eat,
and where they will live. But the
Ministry of Works and Buildings
says that the employment of pris-
oners won't mean that a single
British workman will be out of a
job.
The utmost care will be taken
to safeguard the conditions of
British labor, -and for this reason
chiefly It is intended to use pris-
oners only on unskilled work.
Considerable hopes are enter-
tained that a satisfactory amount
of work will be got out of German
prisoners working under the new
plan. In agricultural work, espec-
ially in Yorkshire, they have done
quite a good job for a few shill-
ings a week, and there seems no
reason why they shouldn't answer
just as well in demolishing rubble
as in raising crops.

Three Centuries
Of Wheat Growing
The growing of wheat in Canada
can be traced back approximately
340 years to the summer of 1605,
when a French settlement in the
Maritimes cut the first crop. To-
day one of Canada's leading export
commodities, Canadian wheat, was
being exported as far back as 1754
to the tune of 80,000 bushels.

Britain Recruiting
Demolition Squads
Whatever methods are employ-
ed by the United States and. Russia
to make it impossible for German
industry to engage again in the
manufacture of weapons and war
material, Great Britain's modus
operandi has already been decided
on every definite lines, it has been
made known to the Ministry of
Labor.
More than 10,000 British scien-
tists and technicians are being re-
cruited for the British Control
Commission to "blues.print" Ger-
man war industry for "treatment"
by Allied dynamiters and demoli-
tion squads.
"We are recruiting technicians
and scientists with experience in
twenty different industries," a La-
bor Ministry official informed the
Industrial correspondent of the
London Daily Mail. Only eight of
these are not solely engaged in
war production. The rest are to be
faithfully dealt with under the
Yalta agreement. Death warrants
have been signed for armament
and shipbuilding industries.
Farm Machinery
Goes To UNRRA
One of the most pressing needs
of the liberated peoples of Europe
is farm machinery. Canadahas
undertaken to supply TJNRRA
with 22,500 tons. This, plus our
exports to our old markets, will
take 30 per cent. of all we produce.
The rest -70 per • cent.—is distri-
buted through a permit system to
farmers who can show the most
urgent need, and to servicemen
being established on farms under
the Vetrans' Land Act.
Canada's total milk production
for 1944 is estimated at 17,600,000,-
000 pounds.

THE WAR'S NOT OVER
—keep working and saving
WHAT SCIENCE
Is DOING
Ash Bricks
British scientists have produced
a new fire -proof building material
from waste ash which may save
millions of dollars annually.
It is claimed that its strength
improves with age; it is not in-
fluenced by frost or damp. it is
vermin -proof; it can be plastered,
papered and painted in'illcolor,
take
sawn to any soap and
screws ana izails. '
The new material is, made froth
waste product of electricity power -
stations the ash residue from iur-
naoes which burn pulverized coal.
It is claimed that over 800 mil-
lioin bricks could be produced fa
Britain with the ash, which is now
thrown away, at an approximate
cost of $6,645,000 a year.
Tte ash bricks have already heels
used in the construction of oftacea
and workshops and one new,
housing estate estate in Central
England is to have the first house
built entirely of them.
Robot's Limitations
One of the biggest problems of
modern farming is labor-saving
machinery, according to a BBC
broadcast. The cowmen on my
neighbor's farm phrased it rather
neatly when a milking machine
was installed. He said: "Well, er
may be all right for milking but
what other use is er?' I've been
a milking machine for forty years,
but I can lay a hedge or make a
stack or hoe a turnip. You try
taking this thing out and show er
a turnip."
