TAKE A TIP
Readers who patriotically inquire.
about saving hot water may like
some suggestions to help them carry
on their good work:
1. Never run the hot water tap un-
necessarily.
2. Never let hot water taps drip.
3. Save all your personal laundry and
do it all together.
4. Soaking dirty clothes overnight
saves hot water.
5. Wash all preparation dishes along
with the meal dishes, having thor-
oughly scraped them, Use wash-
ing soda in the. water to remove
the geease.
6 Never wash under running water.
7. Fill the bath by running the cold
water first, then adding enough hot
water to make it lukewarm.
8; Use less water in your bath tub.

ter hundreds of_ thousands of incen-

90 -minute ,period, notA.R,P. organiza-
tion can cope -'with them. If the Ger-
mans enlist more 'firemen to handle
the problem, this means drawing
more men away from war factories or
armies. The British estimate that ev-
en now over 1,500,0.00 Germans are
pinned down in anti -air duties.
But you don't getone of these' con-
centrated mass raids just 'by- order-
ing a thousand planes to bomb a Ger-
man city on a given night. Infinitely

ed'r (given precise instructions as to
targets and routes) and provided
with weather reports, recognition sig-
nals, radio codes, landing instruc-
tions. At least 60 different fields must
have carefully calculated schedules
for sending their bombers off, and ad-
aitional fields must be ready to re-
ceive returning, planes in case wea-
ther conditions close down in the
fields they started from. For 1,000
raiding bombers, some 300,000 gallons
of gasoline must be .brought up to the
60 starting fields.
On the basis that at least 100 men
are required - from cooks to me-
chanics and intelligence men - to

Parenthetioally, there is no truth
in the 'belief that Britain is too email
a base for a large force of bombers.
With.afrdromes scattered about three
miles apart over the ,face of England
and Scotland, the British claim that
they could send out two or three thou-
sand planes on one night. Indeed, at
the time pf the 1,000 -plane raid on
Cologne, an additional 1;000 fighter
planes were employed on daylight of-
fensive sweeps, without serious or-
ganizational difficulties.
But sock saturation bombing re-
quires perfect timing plus co-ordina-
tion. The Cologne bombers, for ex-
ample, • took off from British airfields
with less headway than is allowed
subway trains in New York's rush
hours. They converged over their
target and went in from prearranged
positions on compass. Every detail
had to be worked out mathemati-
cally with extreme pains. Even on
saturation raids, planes have specific
target areas such as factory belts or
railway yards, and the pilots require
about two minutes of "stooging
around" to locate them. It is during
this time that danger of collision is
great. Height and direction of ap-
proach . must be carefully co-ordinat-
ed so that the bombardiers, will not
bomb their own planes a couple of
•thousand feet lower down,
After a 1,000 plane raid the British
must be prepared for 100 replace-
ments The R.A.F. objective of three
1,000 -plane attacks weekly will, there-
fore, require replacement or repair of
1,200 bombers monthly, which strains
British.productive capacity but can be
met by American help, •The losses of
pilots and crews are not beyond the
output of the British Empire training
pool; British crew position is at pre-
sent very good, there being more
trained crews than airplanes to fly.
Mbst new offensive weapons have
induced the development of new de-
fensive weapons. Germany's night
bombing of Britain, for instance, was
met by Britain's still -secret .radio -lo-
cator device, which enabled the de-
fenders to know the exact position of
approaching enemy planes in the
dark.
Germany is far behind in the de-
velopment of a defence against night
'bombers and most British air author-
ities are inclined to feel that lie,
Nazis will not catch up very soon.
As a defense against accurate bomb-
ing. the German}}s have gone to great
expense in cathouflage. The Binnen
Alster at Hamburg .and the Kleine
Weser River at Bremen, both useless
for communication, have been cover-
ed over with lattice work, dummy
buildings, trees : and superimposed
roads in order to confuse R.A.F. pil-
ots. A million dollars was spent on
camouflaging the Fokker aircraft fac-
tory at -Amsterdam, Airdromes are
reproduced artificially a few miles
from real dromes and whole dummy
factories have been built to mislead
enemy aviators. Newsmen back from
Germany have reported as many as
five different dummy Berlins built in
the countryside around the German
capital. These dodges are not likely
to fool the R.A.F. boys for long. Fast -
flying, long-range Spitfires are sent ov-
er'Germany regularly to take accurate
reconnaissance pictures, on which the
best camouflage efforts can be detect-
ed by. comparison with previous
photographs.
The number of German cities worth
smashing in 1,000 plane raids is only
about 5,0, and fortunately most are
within easy reach even of the twin -
engined British machines.
Since the foundation of all Ger-
many's military operations on the
Continent for two centuries has been
the transport system, the British will
probably pay special attention to rail-
way, centers like • Osnabruectk, Mann-
heim and Hamm. Frequent light raids
on .Hamm, which controls traffic from
the Ruhr via eastern Germany to the
Russian front, have already sharply
reduced the movement of supplies.
In addition to concentrated bomb-
ing of whole cities, the R.A.F. is also
planning concentrated- bombing of
special facto'1•ies. For example, on
March 3rd the R.A.F. dropped in less
than two hours on the Paris Renault
factory two and a half times the ton-
nage dropped by the Germans on Cov-
entry. They put 'the factory out of
commission for many months, and in
effect prevented the manufacture of
enough tanks to equip three German
panzer divisions. 'This policy of oblit-
erating. war production before equip-
ment ,can reach the Nazi armies is
described by an A.R.F. man thus:
"You don't go around a garden swat-
ting wasps singly when you can de-
stroy their nest."
The Luftwaffe is known to be short
of fighter planes, since for months
.'German factories have slowed down
production in order to change over
for newer models. If the R.A,;F. could
knock out many fighter plane factor-
ies it would eventually be safer for
the R.A.F. to operate over Europe
during daylight. ' however, many Ger-
. man aircraft factories are located far
inland, such as the Heinkel factories
in the Tyrol and Poland. R.A.F. bom-
bers have the range to reach such
targets, but can't risk it until the
longer nights of late fall.
One day after the ruthless Nazi
bombing of London's civilians had be-
come mass murder, a group of agitat-
ed MJP.'s cornered Churchill as he
strode froth the House of Commons.
They demanded that he retaliate by
indiscriminate bombing of Berlin,
"Gentlemen," rasped Churchill, "af-
ter what the people of London have
suffered, nothing would give me great-
er pleasure. than to bomb German civ-
ilians. But I am a man of principles
anti, to me, business comes 1Jefote
pleasure."
That was in 1940. This year the
R.A.F. can afford to combine business
with pleasure.
However, the Nazis' relish for the
wholesale slaughter of civilians is
not shared by the R.A.F.-for practi-
cal as well as humane reasons. The
British know, from their own experi-
ence as •guinea pigs in Goring's
bestial experiment, that killing civil-
ians won't win wars. In the Spanish
CivilWar It was demonstrated that
it took an estimated half ton of high`
explosives • to kill one person, once
shelters and anti-aircraft guns had
been provided. In London, despite
almost nightly bombing raids by
,anywhere from 100 to 500 planets.
during late 1940 and early 1941, the
Geruians were only able to' kill a
mainimum of 6,000 people a month
,out of .Lendoa's 6,000,000 populatlon.
Goring would theoretically have had
to keep raiding" London at peak in-
tensity nearly every day of every
month for 83 years to have wiped out
the population of that one city.
In the British view, the physical
damage caused by large-scale raids on
cities is much more important. By
breaking wafer mains, filling the
streets with rubble, disrupting the
transportation systems, cutting gas,
electric and telephone lines, knock-
ing down factories, offices, houses and
keeping the population sleepless and
nerve -racked, raiding can More quick-
ly paralyze a city than by killing a
few thousand of its inhabitants..
The only way to bring home to the
German people such devastation as
they have twice in' a generation in-
flicted on their neighbors is by air.
The aerial front is the only one on
which the British, with American
help, can outmatch the Germaris at
present. Mass raiding is the one form
of offensive in which U. S. productive
capacity can make itself felt in the.
shortest possible time.
It is, however, still too early- to
judge whether such an aerial offen-
sive can be a major factor in the war
against Hitler. To attain its objec-
tives, incessant raiding is necessary,
and this the R.A,F. has not yet been
able to achieve.
The weather, not the Luftwaffe, is
the chief reason. The British 'must
not only consider weather conditions
over Germany, which are exceedingly
changeable, but- also the weather in
Britain, where year round the sum
shines only one (hour out of every
three it's above the horizon. Windo
change suddenly, bringing mists in
tram the North Sea which sweep
either over Britain or swerve into
Germany or occupied Europe. Even
localities a few score miles apart can
have different weather conditions -
for example, airdromes in Britain's
Lincolnshire might be mist -free but
others a few shires lower down in
East Anglia might be closed by fog.
In addition, German targets are fre-
quently covered with ground mist
which makes accurate 'bombing impos-
sible. Cities are also often covered
with "industrial haze" that obscures
vital target areas. Remembering suck
costly mischances as the night last
year when they lost 29 bombers not
from enemy action but from ice on
the wings, the British are likely to
husband their air strength cautiously
for the best nights, rather than risk
losses from the weather as well as
from the Nazis.
In adition to unfavorable weather
conditions, the R.A.F. also faces dis-
tracting diversions' of available bonib-
ers-to the Middle East, to India, and,
most important, in answer to the Ad-
miralty's. demand for more and more
bombers for naval patrol work against
submarines. The toll of these diver-
sions can eventually be overcome,
particularly when the output of new
and fortunately improved Americas
bombers begins reaching Britain.
Whatis important is that the Brit-
ish are now opening an aerial second
front with an expanding air force,
while the Germans, who entered the
war with a numerecally dominant air
force, now find their production
stretched to the limit.
At least, the leaders ' the R.A.F.
are" convinced that they can go far,
before this year is over, toward bomb-
ing some of the efficiency out of Ger-
man production and transportation,
and some of the (fight out of the Ger-
man people. They don't think they
can win• the war from the air but
they ,look upon mass • bombing as a
modern form of intensive artillery
preparation to weaken Germany for
the eventual land attack.
Car Abandoned
On the Maitland river flats just be-
low Maitland road, Chief of Police
Ross found an abandoned automobile.
,People in the neighborhood said it
had' been there for days and the sur-
rounding scene suggests that the own-
ers had been camping, for dishes of
various descriptions were found. The
car was a 1929 Model A Ford, blue in
color and bearing the marker numbers
48T21. At last reports the owner hada
not been located. - Gbderich Signal-

THE WILSON FLY PAD CO., Hamilton, Out.
that raw fruits contain more of the
necessary health -giving elements than
deooked ones.
And don't forget that canteloupes,
honeyballs, honeydew and Persian

ther cooking nor sugar. Other re-
freshing fruits now in season -.plums,
peaches, pears and grapes -may be
served either singly or combined' with
other fruits.
When you bring' your Red Cross

TAKE A TIP
Readers who patriotically inquire.
about saving hot water may like
some suggestions to help them carry
on their good work:
1. Never run the hot water tap un-
necessarily.
2. Never let hot water taps drip.
3. Save all your personal laundry and
do it all together.
4. Soaking dirty clothes overnight
saves hot water.
5. Wash all preparation dishes along
with the meal dishes, having thor-
oughly scraped them, Use wash-
ing soda in the. water to remove
the geease.
6 Never wash under running water.
7. Fill the bath by running the cold
water first, then adding enough hot
water to make it lukewarm.
8; Use less water in your bath tub.

1 tablespoon).
Do not peel apples if skins are ten-
der. Put sliced peaches, diced apples
and sugar in a large preserving,ket-
tle and cook on element turned to
'Medium' and then to `Low' until thick
and clear (about 18 minutes). Stir
frequently to prevent burning. Pour
in sterile jars. (11% cup Maraschino
cherries may be added before the
mixture is taken from the stove).
NOTE: It is most patriotic to can\
peaches this year -the season is still
good but not for long.

diaries . over a smelled city in a
90 -minute ,period, notA.R,P. organiza-
tion can cope -'with them. If the Ger-
mans enlist more 'firemen to handle
the problem, this means drawing
more men away from war factories or
armies. The British estimate that ev-
en now over 1,500,0.00 Germans are
pinned down in anti -air duties.
But you don't getone of these' con-
centrated mass raids just 'by- order-
ing a thousand planes to bomb a Ger-
man city on a given night. Infinitely
detailed planning is necessary. As
many as 5,000 airmen Must be "brief-
ed'r (given precise instructions as to
targets and routes) and provided
with weather reports, recognition sig-
nals, radio codes, landing instruc-
tions. At least 60 different fields must
have carefully calculated schedules
for sending their bombers off, and ad-
aitional fields must be ready to re-
ceive returning, planes in case wea-
ther conditions close down in the
fields they started from. For 1,000
raiding bombers, some 300,000 gallons
of gasoline must be .brought up to the
60 starting fields.
On the basis that at least 100 men
are required - from cooks to me-

Parenthetioally, there is no truth
in the 'belief that Britain is too email
a base for a large force of bombers.
With.afrdromes scattered about three
miles apart over the ,face of England
and Scotland, the British claim that
they could send out two or three thou-
sand planes on one night. Indeed, at
the time pf the 1,000 -plane raid on
Cologne, an additional 1;000 fighter
planes were employed on daylight of-
fensive sweeps, without serious or-
ganizational difficulties.
But sock saturation bombing re-
quires perfect timing plus co-ordina-
tion. The Cologne bombers, for ex-
ample, • took off from British airfields
with less headway than is allowed
subway trains in New York's rush
hours. They converged over their
target and went in from prearranged
positions on compass. Every detail
had to be worked out mathemati-
cally with extreme pains. Even on
saturation raids, planes have specific
target areas such as factory belts or
railway yards, and the pilots require
about two minutes of "stooging
around" to locate them. It is during
this time that danger of collision is
great. Height and direction of ap-
proach . must be carefully co-ordinat-
ed so that the bombardiers, will not
bomb their own planes a couple of
•thousand feet lower down,
After a 1,000 plane raid the British
must be prepared for 100 replace-
ments The R.A.F. objective of three
1,000 -plane attacks weekly will, there-
fore, require replacement or repair of
1,200 bombers monthly, which strains
British.productive capacity but can be
met by American help, •The losses of
pilots and crews are not beyond the
output of the British Empire training
pool; British crew position is at pre-
sent very good, there being more
trained crews than airplanes to fly.
Mbst new offensive weapons have
induced the development of new de-
fensive weapons. Germany's night
bombing of Britain, for instance, was
met by Britain's still -secret .radio -lo-
cator device, which enabled the de-
fenders to know the exact position of
approaching enemy planes in the
dark.
Germany is far behind in the de-
velopment of a defence against night
'bombers and most British air author-
ities are inclined to feel that lie,
Nazis will not catch up very soon.
As a defense against accurate bomb-
ing. the German}}s have gone to great
expense in cathouflage. The Binnen
Alster at Hamburg .and the Kleine
Weser River at Bremen, both useless
for communication, have been cover-
ed over with lattice work, dummy
buildings, trees : and superimposed
roads in order to confuse R.A.F. pil-
ots. A million dollars was spent on
camouflaging the Fokker aircraft fac-
tory at -Amsterdam, Airdromes are
reproduced artificially a few miles
from real dromes and whole dummy
factories have been built to mislead
enemy aviators. Newsmen back from
Germany have reported as many as
five different dummy Berlins built in
the countryside around the German
capital. These dodges are not likely
to fool the R.A.F. boys for long. Fast -
flying, long-range Spitfires are sent ov-
er'Germany regularly to take accurate
reconnaissance pictures, on which the
best camouflage efforts can be detect-
ed by. comparison with previous
photographs.
The number of German cities worth
smashing in 1,000 plane raids is only
about 5,0, and fortunately most are
within easy reach even of the twin -
engined British machines.
Since the foundation of all Ger-
many's military operations on the
Continent for two centuries has been
the transport system, the British will
probably pay special attention to rail-
way, centers like • Osnabruectk, Mann-
heim and Hamm. Frequent light raids
on .Hamm, which controls traffic from
the Ruhr via eastern Germany to the
Russian front, have already sharply
reduced the movement of supplies.
In addition to concentrated bomb-
ing of whole cities, the R.A.F. is also
planning concentrated- bombing of
special facto'1•ies. For example, on
March 3rd the R.A.F. dropped in less
than two hours on the Paris Renault
factory two and a half times the ton-
nage dropped by the Germans on Cov-
entry. They put 'the factory out of
commission for many months, and in
effect prevented the manufacture of
enough tanks to equip three German
panzer divisions. 'This policy of oblit-
erating. war production before equip-
ment ,can reach the Nazi armies is
described by an A.R.F. man thus:
"You don't go around a garden swat-
ting wasps singly when you can de-
stroy their nest."
The Luftwaffe is known to be short
of fighter planes, since for months
.'German factories have slowed down
production in order to change over
for newer models. If the R.A,;F. could
knock out many fighter plane factor-
ies it would eventually be safer for
the R.A.F. to operate over Europe
during daylight. ' however, many Ger-
. man aircraft factories are located far
inland, such as the Heinkel factories
in the Tyrol and Poland. R.A.F. bom-
bers have the range to reach such
targets, but can't risk it until the
longer nights of late fall.
One day after the ruthless Nazi
bombing of London's civilians had be-
come mass murder, a group of agitat-
ed MJP.'s cornered Churchill as he
strode froth the House of Commons.
They demanded that he retaliate by
indiscriminate bombing of Berlin,
"Gentlemen," rasped Churchill, "af-
ter what the people of London have
suffered, nothing would give me great-
er pleasure. than to bomb German civ-
ilians. But I am a man of principles
anti, to me, business comes 1Jefote
pleasure."
That was in 1940. This year the
R.A.F. can afford to combine business
with pleasure.
However, the Nazis' relish for the
wholesale slaughter of civilians is
not shared by the R.A.F.-for practi-
cal as well as humane reasons. The
British know, from their own experi-
ence as •guinea pigs in Goring's
bestial experiment, that killing civil-
ians won't win wars. In the Spanish
CivilWar It was demonstrated that
it took an estimated half ton of high`
explosives • to kill one person, once
shelters and anti-aircraft guns had
been provided. In London, despite
almost nightly bombing raids by
,anywhere from 100 to 500 planets.
during late 1940 and early 1941, the
Geruians were only able to' kill a
mainimum of 6,000 people a month
,out of .Lendoa's 6,000,000 populatlon.
Goring would theoretically have had
to keep raiding" London at peak in-
tensity nearly every day of every
month for 83 years to have wiped out
the population of that one city.
In the British view, the physical
damage caused by large-scale raids on
cities is much more important. By
breaking wafer mains, filling the
streets with rubble, disrupting the
transportation systems, cutting gas,
electric and telephone lines, knock-
ing down factories, offices, houses and
keeping the population sleepless and
nerve -racked, raiding can More quick-
ly paralyze a city than by killing a
few thousand of its inhabitants..
The only way to bring home to the
German people such devastation as
they have twice in' a generation in-
flicted on their neighbors is by air.
The aerial front is the only one on
which the British, with American
help, can outmatch the Germaris at
present. Mass raiding is the one form
of offensive in which U. S. productive
capacity can make itself felt in the.
shortest possible time.
It is, however, still too early- to
judge whether such an aerial offen-
sive can be a major factor in the war
against Hitler. To attain its objec-
tives, incessant raiding is necessary,
and this the R.A,F. has not yet been
able to achieve.
The weather, not the Luftwaffe, is
the chief reason. The British 'must
not only consider weather conditions
over Germany, which are exceedingly
changeable, but- also the weather in
Britain, where year round the sum
shines only one (hour out of every
three it's above the horizon. Windo
change suddenly, bringing mists in
tram the North Sea which sweep
either over Britain or swerve into
Germany or occupied Europe. Even
localities a few score miles apart can
have different weather conditions -
for example, airdromes in Britain's
Lincolnshire might be mist -free but
others a few shires lower down in
East Anglia might be closed by fog.
In addition, German targets are fre-
quently covered with ground mist
which makes accurate 'bombing impos-
sible. Cities are also often covered
with "industrial haze" that obscures
vital target areas. Remembering suck
costly mischances as the night last
year when they lost 29 bombers not
from enemy action but from ice on
the wings, the British are likely to
husband their air strength cautiously
for the best nights, rather than risk
losses from the weather as well as
from the Nazis.
In adition to unfavorable weather
conditions, the R.A.F. also faces dis-
tracting diversions' of available bonib-
ers-to the Middle East, to India, and,
most important, in answer to the Ad-
miralty's. demand for more and more
bombers for naval patrol work against
submarines. The toll of these diver-
sions can eventually be overcome,
particularly when the output of new
and fortunately improved Americas
bombers begins reaching Britain.
Whatis important is that the Brit-
ish are now opening an aerial second
front with an expanding air force,
while the Germans, who entered the
war with a numerecally dominant air
force, now find their production
stretched to the limit.
At least, the leaders ' the R.A.F.
are" convinced that they can go far,
before this year is over, toward bomb-
ing some of the efficiency out of Ger-
man production and transportation,
and some of the (fight out of the Ger-
man people. They don't think they
can win• the war from the air but
they ,look upon mass • bombing as a
modern form of intensive artillery
preparation to weaken Germany for
the eventual land attack.
Car Abandoned
On the Maitland river flats just be-
low Maitland road, Chief of Police
Ross found an abandoned automobile.
,People in the neighborhood said it
had' been there for days and the sur-
rounding scene suggests that the own-
ers had been camping, for dishes of
various descriptions were found. The
car was a 1929 Model A Ford, blue in
color and bearing the marker numbers
48T21. At last reports the owner hada
not been located. - Gbderich Signal-
