Crown Jewels
Believed Kept'
I4ere During War
•I
• With the revelation by the Sun Life
Assurance Company; of Montreal,
that during thelast five years ofwar
millions of .pouirds of British Govern-
ment and civilian securities were
guarded- 50 feet below ground level
in 'a specially, -constructed vault comes
speculation that the British Crown
jewels may have been kept there, too.
It was• in the spring of 194o- when,
alarmed by the fall of France, the
'British Government decided to send
its securities anti bullion to" Canada.
Th'e Dominion, it was felt, 'Would be
the central bastion of defence If Bri-
tain were invaded and fell. Every-
body concerned in the transaction
was sworn to secrecy and 'few 'knew
just what was being kept so far be-
low one of th largest buildings in
the British Empire.
There is evidence and people to
say (off the record) that the,,British
Crown Jewels were • stored there.
Some even hint that the jewels and
regalia of other .that
of Europe's
me nardhy, who 'took 'refuge from Hit-
ler in England. were sent to Canada
for safekeeping:
C,ertainle it seems hardly 'likely
that the British Government would
send one of their warships over sec-
retly with replaceable • paper -securi
ties,, even 11 --at the same' time it
brought gold bullion to- be stored in
Ottawa and iii 'the U.S.A. Nor is it
hardly likely, that the Montreal wa-
terfront should be cleared -.by police
last September, as it 'was, fee -...the
loading of.,such a paper cargo on the
cruiser, Leander. to be. taken back to
England.. "
Moved .in Great War '
'""Normally the Tower of London is
a safe eriotigh' storage place 'for the
crown jewels' In peacetime 35,000
people tile past each Year to see

led which 'had, push buttons, and other
transmitting devices for sounding the
alarm, in in'e'unspiclous anct strategic

to the headquarters would have
brought the Montreal police force 'out

assured the speedy arrival of`the po-
eice radio patrol.
"A , "phonetelaxm” was also instal-
led, with"•thirty detectors scattered
throughout the vault, Any unusual

drilling into the vault from outside,
would .have instantly sounded the,
alarm.
Lost Food
Ration Books
The end of hostilities and the holi-
day spirit are held jointly responsible
for a sudden incense over the past
few weeks in the number of persons
reporting lost ration books. r Accord-
ing to ration officials tiiernumber of
applications from persons asking for
replacement books, Is now numbered
in hundt'eds monthly in Western. '()c-
arte. Ration. authoritie's have issued
an appeal, for the greater care cif

Business Licenses
An' increase in the number of small
businesses in Western • Ontario is
seen in the large number of applica-
tions to conduct •a .btasiness made to
the Western,pntario regional" office
of tb.e-i Wartime •Prices and Trade.
Board. During December 415 appli-
cations to start a business -.or author
ity to transfer a business have been"
granted in this region. Since the be-
ginning of December the regional lic-
ensing officer has'attthoi'ity to grant
a license, -a privilege that formerly
was exercised only :by headquarter=
of the licensing division in Ottawa
Many of the applications to enter a
new business or to conduct one "'a1 -
ready established have been made by
