Boswell - Manager Saves Space In the conservation of shipping space, food -dehydration (extraction of water and moisture) processes are _laying -an important .part. Thirty dozen eggs in shell require 21/4 cubic feet of shipping space, • whereas the same quantity of powdered eggs takes only one-half a cubic foot. Eleven pounds, of whole milk make one pound of dried milk. One ,poun'd of dried. vegetables equals 10 pounds of the fresh product. Concentrated orange juice is one-sixth to one-tenth ithe volume of natural fruit juice. Meat has now been added to the L',.S. food products which_ can be successftflly. dehydrated for shipment, abroad under the Lend -Lease, and, for other war purposes. Through, dehy- dration, the final product occupies roughly about one-half of the volume and weighs about one-fourth as much as raw lean meat. Research has shown that dehydrated beef after being soaked in water can be made into 'croquettes, meat loves and meat pies. A coarse grinding gives a product suitable ' for stews. Dried whole eggs are adapted for use in cakes, doughnuts, pancake flours and noodles. They can be whipped into an omelette or even scrambled. off.the „a.: (continued. fron Page 2) otiose to die so, have apt skill in re- turning the •iusix>•uations.. If there should be a quarrel alaout the divi- sion of the gains;, facts should be us- ed in Stating the case of the disput- ants. Here then is the essence of the whole matter. 'Mr. Coldwell empha- sizes generally the emotional side of a' problem, rarely, if ever, the econ- omic and 'financial. Time and time again he outlines methods of taking money from some and giving it to others, but the essence of the prob- lem is the creation of a higher nation- al income, a pie of larger size, enough for all, If Mr. Coldwell had been in office and in power in 1932 and '33 and had turned over to the workers the entire income of the nation, it would not have given them as -much as they re- ceived in 192'9 when not only labor but farmers and all other classes had real and substantial incomes. Labor -and industry should get together with the other reapers in the vineyard. There is abundant room for construc- tive effort. The nation must find a way, not by conflict, but by reason. We ust move steadily to greater prod tion, Only in this way is it possible to solve the problems of the nation, now and in the postwar per- iod. Barn Consumed by Stubborn Fire The fire brigade had a rush call to a barn at the rear of Earl Wilds' home on Scott street OR Wednesday afternoon. The fire was not noticed until it hadmade a great headway and when the firemen arrived flames were shooting from the roof. There are some other old buildings at this point and it was "with difficulty that they were• saved. The Wild obarn was de- stroyed and Wylie's barn damaged as was the Bradley: bakery. The fire evidently started in the loft. Two pigs, some hens and 'chickens were in the barn but were removed. Mr, Wild however lost a fine set of tools and garden equipment, Several roofs in the neighborhood caught fire but one of the streams of hose which was turned to check these outbreaks. The roof as far up as. Mr. C. S. Black - hall's took fire but it was put out by R. A. Coutts and Fred Saint.—Wing- ham Advance -Times.

To them I .ans'wer that it llama been ,tried yet. When it le, Germany Will be the ex- periment and Japan will be the con- firmation." So spoke Air Marshal Sir Arthur Travers 'Harris, the tough, fire -in -the -belly chief of Britain's R. A.F. Bomber Commai>pd!. The R.A.F. intends to carry out "Ginger" Harris's experiment as soon' and as intensively -las possible. But at' present 1,000 -.plane raids represent a special effort of the R:A-F. Bomber Command, and. three .or four of them weekly, subject to weather conditions, is the maximum the British hope to attain this fall. Even that hope will prove vain if too many bombers are diverted to other uses. So, at best the much 'discussed aer- ial offensive of 1942 will fall short of the dreams that were raised in the press this spring. Yet there is sound basis for, the conviction held by hard- headed, air -minded leaders of the R. A.F. that ,bon}bing of Germany this autumn can be carried on with- suf- ficient destructiveness to affect the course of the war. But, people ask, if Hitler and Goer - ring couldn't make good in 1940.on their ' threat to blot England out from the air, and finally had to abandon their night raids, how can the R.A.F. hope to keep up, mass raids against Germany? The answer is that there are differ- ences in tactics, in quality and re- serves of planes and personnel, and in the circumstances of the war itself that make the British experiment look more promising, Besides, the fact is that the Nazis cariie closer than they knew to win- ning with their aerial bombardment —closer than most`" of us who were in Britain at the time now like to re- memjler. I have heard high British officials admit that, if the .Germans had been able to continue their all- out assaults for 30 days Ionger, Brit- ain would have cracked. •The Luftwaffe failed against Brit- ain simply because it Was the wrong' kind of air force for the job it was required to do. Briefly, the Nazis' weaknesses were thesei • 1. Their bombers and •fighters were primarily designed to work above and just ahead of an advancing land army and were not equipped to fight an, air war against an enemy air force. 2. Their day bombers were not pro- tected by enough defensive armament and were "cold meat" for British eight -gun fighters. 3. The Nazis lacked sufficient num- bers of trained night -flying pilots. 4. They preferred to concentrate, for psychological reasons, on a sprawling target like London, which absorbed the bombs iii its hundreds of square miles, or on the business centres of Birmingham, Manchester, etc., instead of using all their strength to knock out the industrial 'areas of the smaller cities. 5. They did not have enough bombers or an air organization capable of keeping up, a sustained at- tack. The last point is the most import= ant. Those of tis who visited Coven- try on the morning ,after the Luft- waffe smashed the heart of the city realized that its citizens were badly shaken. True, Coventry was still functioning; few factories had been hit. But if the Germans had return- ed a second night, and a third night, and a fourth, no amount of human guts could have kept the city going: On the first night the Germans had concentrated on tine commercial cen- ter of Coventry. If next night they -had returned and widened their tar- get area' they would have knocked out the !bulk of Coventry's factories. On a third night their widening. cir- cle would have reached the remain- der of the factories and the suburbs, forcing the inhabitants into the fields. By the fourth and fifth nights, Cov- entry would have been erased from British industrial life for at least one year. Furthermore: suppose its homeless and nerve -shattered refugees, seeking crowded shelter in other cities, had again been' bombed out into the fields? And yet again? There is a limit to civilian morale. But ,the Germans didn't come back to Coventry in force; and it is Brit- ain's turn now to test the breaking point of Civilian morale in Germany. The failure of the Nazis to press their mass raids night after night re- vealed the weakness of the Luft- waffe's bomber force. To keep a force of 500 bombers in the air on succes- sive nights requires a tremendous re- serve of machines, - plus a smoothly •functioning air organization worked out to the last detail, British night fighters and anti -air - draft ground defences frequently brought down 10 per cent of the Nazi bombing force: Also, the Germans had to figure on additional losses in take -offs and landings — and the to- tal losses were more than the Nazis •could afford, even at the peak of their production in 1940-41. But now in 1942 the British. backed by an in- creasing flow of American aircraft, are convinced that they have the .planes, the organization and the trained personnel' for sustained raid- ing. Although they must fly greater dist- ances to teach their targets than the Nazi planes bombing Britain, the ma- chines the R.A.F. are using ,todaY dwarf the night bombers which the Nazis used. The four -motored Short Stirlings, Handley Halifaxes and Avro Lancasters carry more than twice the bomb load which Luftwaffe Dorniers and i3einkels lugged over Britain in 1910-41. British bombers are greatly improved in armament and armor and ,are much better able to protect them- selves than last year; their bombs are more than twice as devastating a.e similar sized bombs dropped last year. And they have a ter-ific new two -ton bomb which will flatten , a whole eity block. The fact is that the 1t..A.F. has tak- en np mass bombing where the Luft- ' waffe stopped. During imost of their night raids the Germans sent over planes singly er in small groups 'often separated by as much as 15 minutes. Their big raids usu9,4 lasted seven -(y Allan .A. 2/1104e ?l1 Reader's Plgeet) use OI'/ C or eight hours. It was Only toward' the end of their bombardment that they learned that'the classic InIlitary dictum "to strike with the' greateet possible concentration of .force :against. the decisive point" held good in aerial warfare as well as .in ground warfare. On 'the night .of. May 10., 19.41,' the Nazis concentrated 500 planes against 'London, Yet even then the Nazis spread 'their raiders out over a six - hour period - Some idea of the effect of this tspring's 1,000 -plane raid on Cologne can be had when you consider that, compared to the Nazis' May 10 Ikon- don raid, the R.A.F. dropped from twice the number of aircraft three times the weight of !bombs' in an hour and a half on a city one-eighth Lon- don's size. The R.A.F. has now perfected con- centrated mass bombing to a fine art. Their technique is to put 1,000 planes or so over a city within as short a period as 90 imfnutes. The planes come in over'their targets at the rate of eleven per minute. By compressing the raid into the briefest possible time, the 'R.A.F. has achieved what it calls "saturation of defences." Co - Cologne's estimated 500 anti-aircraft guns could have ganged up on British raiders earning- singly, but against hundreds of planes in the sky at one time it could only throw up "muck" indiscriminately. During mass raids, the searchlights which the Germans have on their night (fighters have no chance to co-operate in tracking down individual planes: In addition, under the terrible weight ofbombs drop- ping simultaneously, anti-aircraft and searchlight batteries are likely to be obliterated along with factories and houses. This happened at Cologne, when the last scores of British pilots arriving reported the flak greatly lessened. Civilian defences can likewise be "saturated" when destruction comes too fast for them to handle. During the Luftwaffe's fire 'blitz against Lon- don, when one night more than 2,000 fires were going, the city's , firemen Were still able to cope with, the prob- lem because incendiaries were not coming down over all the city at the same time; the' firemen had appor- tunity to put out individual fires one after another throughout the long night. However, if 1,000 planes scat - (Continued on Page 6) • CKNX — WINGHAM 920 Kcs. 326 Metiers..
