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.

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. • New Books at Public Library The following new books have been received at Seaforth Public LibrarYe Fiction Daylight on Saturday, Priestley: Tlie Interpreter, Gibbs; So Little Time, Marguard; The Human Ccimedy, Saroyan; Excuse.
