HACKING'S LIMITED, Listowel, Ont. ,. lA MUNITION TOWN'S GLORY DEPARTED A special correspondent of the Man- chester ' Guardian gives a picture of Gretna, the town which sprang into being with almost magical sudden- ness in response to .the imperious needs for explosives in' 1916 and1917, and which may be almost as quickly effaced. ' ."The arresting , hand of a ' tardy economy has brought 'all the cordite manufacturing plants distributed over this wide area to, a standstill. It is the definite stoppage of all work as much as the fact that 8,000 people, the rear guard of the :great army of munition makers who invaded this track of border country, are tb be thrown idle, which is of new signifi- cance. It is true that the `Government is accredited with% the intention, 'on the authority of ea local official, of stick- ing to Gretna. It is said, moreover, that it contemplates resuming work as the present stocks of cordite be- come depleted. How that is to come about is not explained, an the only light the officil mentioned -could o l d throw on the matter was that cordite deter- iorates in course of time 'and must be replaced. If work were resumed .it could only be on a modified scale, even though a hope which is held out -ivere realized and some other process, such as the filling of cartridges, were introduced as an added justification for the step. "But however this may be employ; ment can never be found for all of the people who were here in the days of ' intensive cordite production and for whom habitations of one kind and another were hurriedly erected. The declension of Gretna seems in- evitable and the town as I saw it yesterday and again to -day seems sad- ly conscious of it. There is a melan- choly air about it. It appears to be ` THE OTROS EXPOSER revolving the question, .to vary the poet's words: 'Where are the crowds of yesteryear?' It is all too apparent that. they have fled. "During the boom .period 18,000 of the 26,000 persons employed were actually housed in Gretna and there- abouts; the remaining 18,000 travelling daily by shift trains from Carlisle and Annan. There are , hardly more than 3,000 people living in the neigh- borhood. These figures are in them- selves commentary sufficient on the transformation, Gretna is at the heart of - this munition area. Its western extremity is confined by the township of Donock four miles away, and eastward it is bounded by the township of Moss Bank, distant three miles. "If you can picture an ordinary mil- itary camp, partially deserted, trans- planted to these corn fields and graz- ing lands rising gently from the shores of the Esk, you have a fair idea of what Gretna looks like, with this dif- ference; that here} and there- cutting across the regimental lines of wooden huts are trim rows of dwelling houses, sometimes in red brick arid sometimes etimes in white stucco. Another -point of varianceis that there or three aggressively new churches which have all the air of having survived the spiritual needs, as many of the wood- en huts and all the hotels have sur- vived the material needs that called them into existence. From..here any clear day you may see the sun rise above the dark cluster of the Lake- land akeland hills or set in the silver distance of Solway Firth. It is the storied Border Land of the foray and the moss trooper. "As I have stated, in 1917 there were 26,000 persons engaged either in cordite -making at Gretna, or in the manufacture of its constituent parts at Dornock and Moss Bank, That number decreased gradually during "I Hope Every City and District Will Win My Flag" When Edward, Prince of Wales—eager, bright eyed, smiling and sincere—arrived in Canada in' August, and when he voiced his great admiration of the wonderful achievements - of Canadians, on the fields of battle and .at home, once again we were thrilled with joyous pride. He asked concerning Canaada's reconstruction pro.' gramme, and wen he was told of the Victory Loan 1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat of Arrns on a flag, which is to be the prize of honour, for districts achieving their quota in the loan. In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on b Labor Day, His Royal Highness said in part:— i ;. "It is a great joy to me to be associated with the loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and which is finishing off the job." "I hope every city and district will' win my flag." - Striking, and 'beautiful in design, this flag will forni. not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a lasting and outstanding souvenr of the visit of His Royal Highness -=-a visit which will remain as one o_ f the most memorable events in Canada's history. . The reproduction above shoves the design of the flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper 1: F:: hand corner is the Union Jaek, and in the lower right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms. The is made in two sizes, 4 ' feet 6 inches by 9 feet for small cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population. Canada has been divided into canvassing districts by the Victory Loan Organization. Each city forms one district. Other districts have been determined according to population. Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted. a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell. To win the Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its allotment. That is the one and simple condition. Anticipating that many districts will buy far beyond their allotment, the organization decided that for each twenty-five per cent. excess of the quota one Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded. Thus the worke4s in . i district doubling its quota will be the proud win- ners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These crests will be sewn to the flag. , The Prince's Crest MTM.s, the three ostrich plumes—is shown at the top of the coat of arms; ` c To every organization with f fty or more employees, where seventy-five per cent. of the . enrollment invests a total of ten per cent. of the annual payroll in Victory Bonds, a supplementary Prince . of Wales Flag in smaller form -48 ` inches by 34 inches --will be awarded. ' The allotment for eachdistrict has been carefully considered, and is based on a conservative estimate -of the purchasing power of the district. . Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her share. You will gladly do your part and encourage your neighbour to do his. Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that decides whether or not your district is to be the proud possessor of the Prince's Flag.- Issued lag. Issued by Canada's Victory Loa Commit in co-operation with the Minister of Financ* of the Dominion of Canada; f i 1918. At the armistice 16,000 was the figure, and in the intervening nine months it now has been brought down to 3,000, and now by the last decision of the Ministry of Munitions it is to be reduced to a mere 400. These persons are to be retained for main- tenance .purposes. It is clear that at nq time have there been wholesale dismissals such as might have brought hardships to thousands, and it is gen- erally allowed here that in this case, at all events, the Ministry of Muni- tions have, acted with some foresight and consideration. People who remain in Gretna have been mostly absorbed industry in. Carlisle, and travel' to and fro each ,clay by rail. "Perhaps the most notable indica tion of the way in which the popula- tion has shrunk is furnished by the hotels. They number about 140, and are commodious wooden structures in which on an average seventy persons were housed. They are now desert- ed. Vacant windows afford glimpses of empty interiors. The streets which knew, if only for a brief space, all the bustle and animation of numbers are little frequented. There is hard- ly anything now to distract the cattle from "their placid grazing in the mead- ows which creep right up to the edge of this town of a day. "Everywhere the manufacturing plants 'are idle, and the offices, ,de- nuded of their staffs, ate in the keep- ing eep ing of a few officials and commission- 'ekes. ommission-'sires. Wry patently it is a town .. whose occupation, like Othello's, has gone. Gretna, as it was put to me, has been worth several victories in the field. Doubtless it was a triumph= ant vindication of our much assailed power of organization and improvise - 1 tion." PERILS IN INCREASING USE OF COFFEE AND TEA Alcohol is a narcotic. Tea and coffee are stimulants, in fact they are rather irritating nervines. Since the suppression of alcohol there has been a very marked' increase in the drinking of tea and coffee. What, then, is going to be the effect. The New York Medical Journal says that "what we need least of all here in America is stimulants," as there is a definite tendency to lead a strenuous life without any stimulant or even under the influence of such. a narcotic as alcohol. We were already great coffee drink- ers. rinkers. Before the war every man, wo- man and child in tis country was consuming twelve pounds of dried coffee beans every year. This is only about half an ounce a day, but six- tenths ixtenths of one per cent. of it is caffeine, one of the most powerful stimulants known. And of course many people did not touchcoffee, so the amount taken by those who did drink it was even greater. And many of the so- called temperance drinks contain theine and caffeine. "It will not be surprising, then, to have an increase in functional nervous diseases, for they are dependent to a great extent on this overstimulation of the nervous system, thus keeping it on edge and not permitting it to re- lax. There will almost surely be an increase of • insomnia and related af- fections, for the prohibition substi tutes practically all have exactly the opposite tendencies ;with regard ; to sleep as that exerted by the alcoholic drinks. Tea and coffee, though -not intoxicating in the accepted sense of the word, are distinctly toxic and de- finitely increase blood pressure. "As increased blood -pressure with its deteriorating effect on heart and arteries is the characteristic patho- logical development of our time, one unfortunate result can be readily fore- seen. Already the death rate above• forty has increased instead of dimin- ished and just when men are most valuable ilee degenerative diseases are carrying thein off. The next five years will surely show some very interest- ing effects of the new regime that has been inaugurated."
