It is not' surprising, with. Metall - assents in the size and roimber of pag- es of the newspapers, that the news' is also poridensed. There are a great many very short items making up the news columns, but taking into con- sideration the difficulties, under which they are operating, the British news- papers are very readable and give a surnrisingly good news coverage in the space at their disposal. News of Canada appear a in fairly good volume and is well' presented. We found that the Canedian, sol- diers are quite', worried because it is no longer permittr'1 to send papers over by mail, except actual subscrip- tions. They are afraid that subscrip- tion copies may also be banned. They appreciate the home paper now in a way that tbey never did before they left lensesThey rad every word of it. One officer remarked that he con- sidered a boatIo'ad of papers from home is a boatload of morale. One reason why this restriction was placed on Can.adian papers -was that some publishers had been bundling up their over -runs, and sending them ov- er to be distributed. We were told by •one service worker that he had seen at one time 600 bags of such pa- pers, and he simply did not know 'what to do with them. There is no doubt that the publishers who sent them were anxious to help. They thought it was a good thing to do, but it actually was a misguided effete. It was a. great pleasure to be able to visit one of the leading weekly newspapers. "The Banbury Guardian" 'which was the paeee on which my father, the late George Legge, served bis, apprenticeship.

Via:tory Bonds • Canada, with the rest of the Unit- ed Nations, is engaged in the biggest and most violent war of all time. At Idng last, the initiative is on our side. Bet, despite a more encouraging out- look, the Allies are stitl a long way from winning this war. To carry the war directly on to en- emy soil where the final United Na- dons victory must be won will require far more money in the next few months than has been called for in any similar period so far, the Nation- al War Finance Committee points out. Immense quantities of war material Of all kinds, guns, Shells, tanks, air- craft and ships, are needed in, this credal phase of the war. Canada's fighting men must not lack for equip-, meet which Canadian' dollars can pro-`• vide. . "Back the Attack!" is the rallying cry for all Canadians in the forth- coming Victory Loan with its mini- ; meta objective of $1,100,000,000, every dollar of which is urgently needed by Canada for her great war program. More and more Canadians have been buying Victory Bonds with each iseue. But, of the six million persons in Canada who' are gainfully employ- ed today, more than' three million do not yet know What it feels like to hey. and own a Victory Bond. Home FrOm 'Overseas • Sgt.

'Chintz came originally from India and was one of the import- ant articles of trade that the English, Dutch and French East India Compan- ies fought over, during the 17th and 18th centuries. Europe was thrilled with the gay -cottons from the East. Chintz soon became so- popular •that the linen, 'silk and wool merchants were alarmed and brought pressure to bear on the government which re- sulted in the laws forbidding both the importation and the making of chintz. This simply increased the fashion for it and eventually the authorities had to withdraw their orders and' make way for the great modern cotton print- ing industry.
