WeekNov.21-?17
' "Ashore and afloat the Navy League
cares 'for the sailors."
The Navy League of Canada is a
civilian organization and was estab-
lished in 1917, It is supported and
maintained ' by „ voluntary subscrip-
tions. The extent Of its work is wide-
ly know: dad especially after four
years of s. etie among the sailors of
the Navy and Merchant Navy,
Next week, November 2Ist to 27th,
inclusive, will be known as "Navy
Week" when public attention will be
focused all the Navy, the Merchant
Navy and the work of the Navy
League in relation to both.
It is estimated that. more than half
a million people take a 'personal in-
terekt in •the, filling' of ditty. ibags
which are distributed during the
Christmas season to merchant sea-
men and naval ratings. Last year
103,450 were filled by 'enthusiastic
Navy League supporters ,and distri-
buted and this year the number will
probably reach a grand total of 150,-
000. As far as possible, every sailor
in a Canadian port will be given a
ditty bag between now and Christ-
mas. • In addition to all the, handy
things that go to make up a ditty
bag, thousands of garments such as
sweaters, socks, caps and helmets
are contributed by the women' of Can-
ada and distributed by the Navy
League. Hundreds of survivors' butte
dles have been made up and shipped
to the coestl, ports as well as many
hundreds of fur -lined -Tests.
The need for knitted comforts like
the need for magenines; is ever pres-
ent. It' would be impossible for the
Navy League to receive tocf many.
Navy Week is obser1/4d each year
not only as a week of remembrance
but also because it affords an oppor-
tunity for the Navy League eci tell of
the gratitude of, the Men, who do so
much but say so little about it.

NEWBELLTELEPHONE
DIRECTORY ISSUED
Change in Form Will Save
360 Tons of Paper For
War Purposes.
To save paper and type metal in
wertinan important changes have
been made in the arrangement of the
new telephone directory for Seaforth
and vicinity. which is now being dis-
tributed.
For example, the list of long dis-
tance rates to points mast frequently
called is now to be found on the in-
side front cover, and instructions coi
how to use long distance service are
on the' inside back cover. All marg-
inal advertisement S are being remov-
ed from the top and, bottom of pages
in the alphabetical :section.
By means of changes such as these,
applied to telephone directories for
all the exchanges, the Bell Telephone
Company expects to save 360 tons of
paper a year for war ptlrposes.
In view of the large number of new
and changed listings in the new di-
rectory, it is important to discard the
old book promptly on receipt of the
new one. Subscribers are being ask-
ed to contribute their old directories'
to the regular salvage collection, for
paper has nem returned tci the list of
badly -needed selvage articles.
Consulting the new directory care-
ully before placing calls will .help to
eliminate unnecessary calls bead will
reduce tbe "wrong number" nuisance
considerably.
Another request which is being eni-
phaPized because of war. conditions, is,
that subscribers' who are moving
should take their telephone beAks
with them, instead of eating for an-
other at •the new rdsidence.
