WORK WITH FEAR OF DEViL
It would be an excellent thing
tt every Canadian were to cut
out and place in a prominent po-
dtlon in his home or office Mr.
Gordon's declaration that total
war will remain for most of us
an empty platitude "until we are
seized with the sense of terrible
urgency, until we all go to work
with the fear of the devil him-
self driving us forward; until we
are ready to sacrifice in the
flame of a true understanding
patriotism all the selfish advant-
ages of class, position and prop-
erty. Until that time, until we
and the other democracies who
are still in the fight do that, we
shall neither deserve nor achieve
the victory that we so confidently
assume must he ours."

BRITONS AT WORK
Almost half of Great Britain's
45,000,000 people are either in
the armed forces or working on
munitions; her war production
now equals that of Germany; her
eonttruction of new naval ton-
nage is four times that of pre-
war days; she is building mer-
shant ships at the rate of 1,100,-
000 tons a year, and the Royal
Air Force now exceeds Germany'a
both in size and quality. John
Boll is sweating, but he is far
from exhausted.
—Hamilton Spectator
LAMENT
"A spirit of defeatism has
swept over part of the country
since razor blade rationing bob-
bed up among the restrictions that
now are being applied or pro-
jected. Men who since the start
of the war have been fancying
themselves aa the backbone of
the nation are succumbing to a
wave of mental depression, and
already are mumbling some brave
nothings through their anticipated
whiskers,"
—Windsor Star
ONE RAY OF HOPE
An aviation expert says that
neither side in this conflict can
build warships as fast as avia-
tion can destroy them front the
sides. Looks as if the day of the
great navies is gone, The en-
couraging part of it is that no
country in the world can build
planes as fast as the United States
when it gets going.

on the West coast, north and

COMPLICATIONS
Any incursion of Japs in India
would merely complicate the caste

In The Garden
By GORDON L. SMITH
Big Vegetable Garden
A good big vegetable garden is
both patriotic and commonsense
in wartime. Provided he is will-
ing to devote all his spare time
to it, one person can handle a
quarter acre of vegetable garden
and grow more than enough veg-
etable' to keep a family the year
round. But a quarter of an
acre is a big garden.
As a matter of fact, all ex-
perienced gardeners advocate a
small, well cultivated plot in pref-
erence to one larger and receiv-
ing leas care. If the original dig-
ging is followed promptly and
regularly with from two to four
thorough cultivations, about a
week to ten days apart, the weeds
will get discouraged.
Leave Wet Soil Alone
Nothing is to be gained from
working soil before it is ready.
In fact with heavy ground, as.
cording to garden authorities, too
early digging is about the worst
possible thing one can do. Not
only is it a messy job, in the
first place, but the sticky clay
is quite likely to hake later into
hard lumps, suitable perhaps for
temporary building material, but
not for growing flowers and veg-
etables.
One should curb the natural
impulse to be out digging in early
Spring and lvait until the surface
water has completely disappeared
and one can walk and work in the
garden without getting the shoes
muddy. When the soil reaches this
stage it i:; fit to work, and not
before. Good garden soil in the
right working condition crumbles
and breaks into fine, tiny pieces;
it does not pack into lumps.
WHO SAID WE WOODEN HAVE BIKES?
Two Los Angeles youngsters demonstrate a bicycle built of
wood to meet the shortage of bikes. Three metal bolts hold the

A Weekly Column About This and That in The Canadian Army
Well, when Col. Ralston got
back to Ottawa recently and an-
nounced the formation of groups
of "Rangers" on the Pacific Coast
he rather changed the complexion
of this column. Or, perhaps it
would be more truthful to say
that he set this columnist's think -
box working in a new and less
circumscribed channel.
The Individual Citizen's Army
today isn't all uniformed in khaki.
It consists of --or should consist
of—all of us,
A year ago last Christmas His
Majesty, ling George, said, "We
are i11 in the front line." At
that time, I'm afraid, most of us
thought of that statement as be-
ing applied to the citizens of
Great Britain. Somewhat com-
placently, too, we laid the flatter-
ing unction to our souls that the
Xing also included our little pur-
chase of War Savings Certificates
and Victory Bonds as our front
line contribution,
Today there are many branches
of the Individual Citizen's Army
in which all of us may serve in
one way or another: men, women
and children; old soldiers, young
soldiers, men who are exempt
from military service.
I don't like that term, "exempt
from military service." Not one
of us la, or can be, exempt. So,
for the purpose of this column
let's translate the phrase to mean,
"exempt from legal compulsion to
serve."
To follow the biblical injunc-
tion that, "the last shall he first,"
let's look at the opportunities for
service offering themselves to old
soldiers, young soldiers and the
legally exempt. For them the Re -
terve Army offers the ideal op-
portunity to serve in two ways—
as a soldier preparing himself for
home defence if that should be-
come necessary, and, you heard
what Prime Minister King said
on the radio,—as a producing
citizen continuing his ordinary
tasks.
No need to go into detail about
this—it has all been in the daily
papers recently—but there is no
doubt that once the new set-up
gets well under way the men who

spars time occupation that will
stand them in good stead if it has
to become a full time job.
"Sam" Browne, usually known
in print as Major-General 13, W.
Browne, D.S.O., M.C., has been
named commander of the Reserve
Array and he has had a long ac-
quaintance with the problems of
a part time militia. In peace
time that is a heart -breaking job
—it will be simpler now that
authority has been given to equip
the Reserve Army with modern
guns, weapons, equipment and
training facilities..
You know the classes who are
eligible?? Let's repeat them. `len
between 35 and 50, men between
17 and 19 who will thus be able
to fit themselves for active ser-
vice before they reach service age
and men who are not subject to
conscription by reason of their
occupations or for other legiti-
mate reasons.
Before this column gets too
long let's look briefly at the ex-
pansion of the Individual Citizen's
Army. This is an army now in
which abstention from buying an-
other pair of shoes if half -solea
will do is the equivalent of a clip
of machine-gun bullets. It is an
army we all belong to and in
which we can all fight.
It is an army that trLins us all
to do all we can for the defence
of our country or for attack on
the Axis.
It is an army in which the
physical training necessitated by
doffing an elastic girdle will re-
sult in a stronger race of women
who will be ready for any tasks
war may impose as well as the
conservation of rubber for war
purposes.
Not very romantic? War hasn't
been romantic since the days of
knights in armour — and if we
knew the truth it probably wasn't
very romantic then,

DESTROYER
RATING
by Wm. Howard Pugsley
Our destroyer carries a proud
ship's company.
They have a right to be proud.
A year ago a torpedo ripped into
the forward part of the ship's
hull, blowing away the bow, but
her crew kept the ship afloat
and brought her safely into port
where the damage could be re-
paired.
Then she went back to her
convoy job,
Recently, this sane destroyer
ran into a hurricane while home-
ward bound. Battered and leak-
ing, her boats smashed and her
life -rafts gone, short of provis-
ions and fuel, and her erew ex-
hausted, she still came through
and steamed smartly into her bare
port.
Not a man had been lost over-
board in the storm, nor even any-
one seriously injured.
How many of our O.D,'s (ord-
inary seamen) newly ,some to the
ship and for whom this had been
their first introduction to the real
meaning of life at sea, how many
of then longed for a draft on
shore after this experience? Not
one.
The complement of a destroyer
is about three times that of a
corvette or minesweeper. We
carried eight officers and ono
hundred and sixty-six ratings.
Most of the O.D,'a were new
in our ship. During the shore
refit, many of the old crew, now
rated A.B.'s (able-bodied seamen)
had been drafted off, soma: to
leaven with their experience the
crews of new ships just com-
missioning, others to take courses
to qualify for higher specialist
ratings.
As replacements, a flock of
"jeeps", ordinary wanton who
had just finished their shore
trimming, had been drafted
aboard,
All of these lads were young,
keen, willing, enthusiastic, hard-
working and ready for anything.
Never, even under the most try-
ing circumstances --- of which
there were many—were they any-
thing but cheerful.
Tho "fore lower" is where you
begin your life at sea in a des-
troyer. As it is so far for'd. and
so far down in the hull, the mo-
tion of the ship is very pronoun-
ced.
Because this location is so un -
"de luxe", it is reserved for the
least important of all ratings,
the 0,1J.'s. When you've done
your nine mouths, (including the
four month, aeatime), and can
pass professionally in the things
a seaman must know, you too
will be rated "A.B.", and gradu-
ate to the more spacious upper
moss deck.
When I first went on board,
I, too, was asigned to the "fore
lower", being an ordinary sea-
man,
The first ten days after I join-
ed the ahip were spent in harbor.
During this period we worked
about the ship in the morning
and afternoons, and were allow-
ed ashore two or three nights
out of four, depending on how
the watches were being run, We
turned out each morning at 6,30,
lashed and stowed hammocks, sat
down to breakfast at seven, and
fell in for work at eight.
All the seamen ratings, that is
those who worked principally on
the upper deck, then mustered
in the waist of the ship, along
the port and starboard sides,
The "Buffer" ---a petty officer
whose official status was that of
Bos'n's Mate—mounted the walk-
way over the torpedo tubes, cal-
led us to attention and reported
us all present to the First Lieu-
tenant, who then gave the Buf-
fer any special instructions he
might have regarding work he
wanted done.
Make no mistake, they could
always find something for you
to do, and when you had done
it you were supposed to come
back and ask for more, Other-
wise you were liable to be "run
In" on a charge of "skulking",
that is, not working,
Other ships, then on convoy
assignments, freguently did a
month or more at sea, broken
only by a day on one side re-
fuelling and at most three to
four days in port at the other

British Mission To India Fails
Nazi Demands Reinstate Laval
Indian leaders rejected Great
Britain's plan for sell -rule and co-
operation in the tsar effort. The
plan brought from England by Sir
Stafford Cripps met its defeat on
the question of India's defence.
Great Britain contended that this
responsibility should neat In ex-
perienced British hands: the all -
Indian Congress leaders held that
the responsibility was India's.
United Against Invaders
It 1e considered that, although
Bir Stafford Cripps' mission to In-
dia has failed in its main objective,
Its work has not been wasted. The
discussions which were held drew
together the various units of In-
dia, and their leaders expressed
determination to resist "to the
death" the invasion that appeared
imminent. Volunteers rushed to

if it should cost us our lives."
Importance of India
Great Britain may slake a
declaration of Indian policy soon
in the hope of getting India fully
aroused to the danger of the .1ap-
ane8e menace. For the United
Nations the loss of India would
mean the collapse of thtar Mens-
es throughout the Far Eat; for
Japan a land road would be open.
ed to a possible juncture with
Germany h1 the Middle East,
India is vital to tho United Na -
Rona: (1) as a barrier to the
westward march of the Japanese,
and (2) as a growing source of
war supplies and vast manpower.
Without India the war may well
be prolonged for years.
Epic of Bataan
The whole world of fres men
will join in paying tribute to the
magnificent stand made by Am-
erican and Pilipino troops in the
Philippine Islands. They have
written a chapter of stubborn
heroism that will never be for-
gotten.
The delaying action in the
Philippines has been of the ut-
most Importance to the Allies and
may have altered the whole course
of the Pacific \Vnr. It has kept
a large force of Japanese assault
troops tied up which might have
been used for striking at Austra-
lia before the defenses there were
ready.
But the fall of 13ataan means
that now the enemy will be able
to divert a large body of troops
to the Battle of Burma and to Use
projected attack on India. The
Japanese position is thus meter -
!ally improved and is further

convoy. Sometimes they didn't
get more than a day at either
end of the trip—and only a few
hours shore leave.
If you were unlucky enough
to be duty that night, you just
didn't get ashore at all—some-
body had to stay and each must
take his turn.

"As you are aware, gentlemen,"
began the colonel, "a court of in-

ing tribunal designed to obtain

questions 1 might omit, Tiring in
the first witness,"
Captain de Watt, medical offi-
cer, testified that he had been
summoned to "A" deck about 8
o'clock that morning.
"I found Captain Tees lying
just inside a door under tt coni•
dor light, 1 was informed by the

Lieutenant 'I'inlnnins, that he had
found the captain on the deck.

Captain :Murdoch interjected a
query: "How did you establish
tine time of death?"
"Oh, pardon me." The M. 0,
lapsed from his dull professional
monotone and displayed 011111usi-
tisnl for the first time. "1 hail re-
ported verbally to the colonel
shortly after the body was dis-

died some time less than four

was made after the Orderly offi-
cer described the position of the
body as he found it. The deceased
was lying face down on the deck
with his arms beneath him.
"I tested the armpits and found
definite traces of warmth al-
though the rest of the body was
cold, quite cold. The armpit
warmth, in view of the body's
general coldness, told me the de-
ceased had been dead quite some

everythfr(,g together, 1 can posi-

to my being summoned."
Captain de Watt paused and
looked at the three officers with
a tinge of professional pride.
"Your conclusion seems entir-
ely logical," commented the
colonel. "Now did you, by any
chance, think of testing the victim
to determine whether he had been
drinking;"'
"Yes, Sir, 1 conducted a test
4hertly aflet'wnl'ds ill 00 Sllegoi',1'
of the ship's hospital ..."
"Please describe that test, Doc-
tor."
Captain (le Watt shifted his
position and began to describe in
minute detail the pathological
tests he conducted to ascertain
whether the victim) had been
drinking, haven some of the more
seasoned officers in the room
were forced to wince occasionally.
When he had finished his vivid
description, the colonel inquired,
"As a result of these tests, were
you able to arrive at any definite
conclusion?"
"Yes, Sir,"
"What was that conclusion?"
"The deceased had positively
not been intoxicated nor was
there any evdcnce of his having
taken any alcoholic think for sev-
eral hours etel'iously."
Lance Corporal Skitter, owner
of the bayonet that had figured
in the killing, told his story in
forthright. fashion. Ile had been
on sentry duty on "A" deck until
midnight. About I1:20 the ship's
roll ryas sickening hint, and he
had Laken off his overcoat, hang-
ing his belt and scabbard and
bayonet attached over the deck
railing. In plain bottle dress, he
had walked to the fore end where
the lashing spray iecnled to help
Biot, Ile ; loud there for about 30
minutes before returning to where
lie had 1,43 his equipment.
Then he noticed the bayonet
was alis-ing. 'Thinking it had
slid across the dcek into the
tough by the rail, he went to look
then noticed, for the fiat 11(01, a
man's figure in the shadow of a
lifeboat. The triad was howling
loudly and apparently the nnu(—
he seemed to be an officer --
hadn't noticed the sentry. Sinter,
011 the other luuul, figured he
might have to explain the lost
bayonet by admitting he hadn't
been doing his full "rounds" and
decided to lot the bayonet go until
first thing next moaning.
Four roommates of Slater's col-
laborated that the sentry had re-
turned to the cabin shortly after
midnight and had been violently
nauseated all night.
Lieutenant Gregory Rollins was
haggard—his usual zip seemed to
have gone from his step as he
marched into the lounge and sal-
uted the court.
"You were speaking to the late
Captain 'fees about I 1:30 o'clock
last, night, right?" the tough col-
onel .;puke with astonishing gen-
tleness.
"YeA, Sir, I was gelling a
breath of air at the stern after

"Pardon me, lit', Rollins," Mur-

curiously:
"No, Captain, I walked directly

Captain Tees and I walked direct-

"Did you notice anybody else

Britain Training
Glider Regiment
A War Office announcement
March 21 on formation of an
Arley Air Corps gave Britons a
new hint that their military lead.
ors have carefully laid plans for
atrcanllined offensive action
against the Axis.
This newest unit in the na-
tion's striking force, which one
day will bo used to sweep the
enemy from occupied territory,
includes a regiment of glider pi-
lots whose existence was disclos-
ed in the announcement which
said all sit' -borne troops are being
brought under one command.
British glider troops have not
been in action yet, but for some
time have been in training, They
are not to be confused '.vita para-
chute troops which have been
used twice—once in Italy and
aga'n recently when the radio
location station was destroyed at
Bruncy111, France.
Together, glider troops and
parachute toops will make a team
hard to stop, observers predicted.
R.A.F. French Raid
Major Tank Battle
The Air Ministry News Service
said that the raids by British and
Canadian bombers on the Renault
and Mat ford motor works in
France were the equivalent to de-
struction in battle of the entire
equipment of five armored and
nhcchanize(i divisions.
"lit effect one of the major
tank battles of the war has been
WW1 by the R.A.F. in about six
hours at n cost of four bombers
and 25 men," the service added.
It declared this was "of immedi-
ate and paramount importance to
the Allied armies on both the
Russian and Libyan fronts."
The two factories were pro-
ducing 70 motor trucks daily as
well as many limas and Alter
veli,cics for the I icrmans, This
production was stopped, the ser-
vice said, much of it for at least
a year, some for the uurat.on of
the war because irreplaceable
machine tools were destroyed,

"Shipwreck Suit"
A "shipwreck suit" is the latest
British invention for saving sea-
men's lives.
It is made of a bright yellow
rubberized material in two parts
—combined trousers unci over-
shoes and a hood and coat. The
coat sleeves are long enough to
cover the hands, an't slits 111 the
trouser legs allow the limbs to be
taken out easily for massage, The
hood is used as a carrier for the
complete outfit, which weighs 3
lbs., 6 ozs, It is to be worn in
lifeboats or on rafts and its
bright yellow color shows up the
shipwrecked to rescue ships and
aircraft.
The inventor is Thomas Met-
calfe, 0.11.E,, who is administra-
tive principal in charge of the
lifesaving appliances of the llin-
istfy. of Transport. The electric
light fitting now used for life-
saving waistcoats was also Mr.
Metcalfe's idea: the light is clip-
ped to the collar strap, and the
watertight battery, lasting for 10
hours, is kept in a pocket.

Oil Taking Toll
Of Wild Birds
Oil from tankers and other
craft sunk in naval warfare its
the Atlantic is taking its toll of
North American bird life.
Observers along the coast re-
port that increasing numbers of
waterfowl and sea birds are being
trashed ashore dead or in dying
condition. The oil from sunken
vessels or submarines comes to
the surface and floats for days in
calm patches or slicks, often ex-
tending over wide areas.
The birds alight on the oil -
calmed water and once their
plunmges become saturated with
oil they are unable to fly and
have to drift helplessly until cold
or starvation brings death.

Attention 1
As Warden of the County of Huron I hereby
urge that all electors in the County of Huron exer-
cise their franchise on the Plebiscite vote which
wi'I be held on Monday, April 27th. It is necessary
that a "Yes" vote be recorded so that our Govern-
ment will be relieved of their pledge and in a posi-
ticn to wage an all out war.. A "Yes" vote at the
forthcoming Plebiscite is a vote for a United Can-
ada. To stay away from the polls is paramount to
voting "No". Use your franchise and vote.

Who Will Bo Saved?
22. ''.Ind he went on his way
tlu'ou:;i; cities ;Ind villages, teach -
Ing and jour neying on unto Jer-
usalten." Through these towns
and villages ho had sent the sev-
enty in ad',aace and lie was on
the N1 ay through them now
preaching as he went along,
23 ;a 1. '':Ind one said unto
him. Lord are they few that are
saved "' 11'hy this question was
:t: ked at this time we do know,
but we do know that every be-
liever in Jesus Christ will be
saved.
23 (b), And he said unto theta,
24. Strive to enter in by the
narrow door; for many, I say
unto you, shall seek to enter in,
and shall not be able" Jesus
does not answer the question
asked because the answer is not
one that Ile desires man to have,
but no floes speak of the more
important problem, raised by able
very miestion, namely, are we
ourscl', es .saved
Acting Too Late
25. "tl'hcn once the Master of
the house Ls risen up, and hath
shut to the door, and ye begin
to stand without, and to knock
at the door, saying, 'Lord, open
to us,' and He shall answer and
arty to you, I know you not who
yo are. 26. then shall ye begin
to say. We did eat and drink in
thy presence, and thou didst teach
in our streets." In its application
to salation, this does not imply
that thero are any people in the
world, whom Je.us does not know
about, out there are great multi-
tudes whom Jesus does not know
as His own, Tho Lord does not
know these people because they
have never conte to him before,
They did not accept salvation
when it was offered, and now,
the time being over for salva-
tion, they have no right to Hie
hospitality.
Without A Saviour
27. "And he shall say, I tell
you I know not whence ye are, de-
part front me, all ye workers of
iniquity." Inasmuch as salvation
ie from Chriat alone, when Ile
says he dues not know one, that
means that person le without a
Saviour, Inwardly the worker of
iniquity ti separated from Jesus,
and, at last, the outward relation
will he adjusted to the inward,
and departure from Him will be
Inevitable and that is ruin.
28, "There shall be the weep-
ing and the gnashing of teeth,
when ye shall see Abraham, and
Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God,
and yourselves cast forth with-
out," Hero Is the fate of those
barred out, presented with the
greater intensity because con-
trasted with the lot of the blessed.
It is certain that tho damned
shall know fully of the joys of
the blessed, and worse still, that
they, too but for themselves,
might be in the midst of those
Jot's.
Judgment Reversed
29. "And they shall come from
the east and west, and froth the
north and south, and shall sit
down in the kingdom of God. 30.
And behold, there are last who
*hall be first, and there are first
who shall be last," Whatever be
the number of those who are in
the way of salvation, that which
concerns us la that we should
without delay secure a place
among them.
31. "In that very hour there
carte certain Pharisees, saying to
him, Get thee out, and go hence:
for Herod would fain kill thee."
Jesus was in Perera, and therefore
within the dominions of Herod.
It is impossible to say whether
the message was sent by Herod or
was invented by the Pharisees,
Christ's Mission
32(u), "And he said unto them,
Go and say to that fox; Behold,
I cast out demons and perforin
aures to -day and to -morrow."
Here the fox is used as a symbol
of craftiness. Jesus saw the inner
heart of Herod mud therefore
when he described him as a fox,
he spoke the word of righteous-
ness olid of truth. 1t wits not an
epithet; it was a character in a
word,
3L(b). 'Mud the third dooy I
am perfected, 33, Nevertheless
1 must go on toy way today and
tomorrow and the day following:
for it cannot he that a prophet
perish nut of Jerusalem." Christ
did not resign his functio L , he
d/ri net decline to go on with his
work. He said, l tvork in the
name of Grid awl for the v'uod
of mankind, and l must not he

RADIO REPORTER
DIALING WITH DAVE:
Full of Idea' and plans for hle new season, which starts over the
NBC -Red Network Sunday, Oct. b, Jack Benny returns from vaca-
tion bitten by the wanderlust bug. He plane to tour the U. 8, A.
a bit, instead of staging all shows from New York and Hollywood)
THE CIGAR! THE VIOLIN(?)! THE COMEDIAN!
Yes, It's Jack Benny, In probably as typical n pose as you could
imagine him in Jack, with Mary Livingstone, Dennis Day, the
Music of Phil Harris and hie Orchestra and all the cost, continue to
entertain their waiting millions each Sunday night at seven o'clock
-heard throughout Canada on the CBC National Network!
Behind The Program!
Indeed, 'tie very often the story
behind the show that gives the
program the Interest and enter-
tainment value it has, Even more
often, the story behind the scenes,
11 known, enhances the pleasure
one has in listening to the pro-
gram! Take for instance, the
Fred Allen Sunday night 9.00
o'clock shows: During the past
few weeks, they've been scripted
by Vick Knight, who also dons the
production on such famous 'one
shot' shows, as "1'he President's
March of Dimes' broadcast, and
international 'Red Cross' Shows.
Several weeks ago, tho Army in-
vited Vick to direct Its "Command
Performance" internationally
short -waved shows for the An ri-
can Fighting Forces! Visit's
spare -time wasn't sufficient to
Dover this new assignment! Tho
problem: Give up a $600,00 a
week job as Fred Allen's Scripter
and take the Army work, full
time, as volunteer director at
nothing per week) That would
take some deciding, you'll agree!
But right now Vick Knight is In
Hollywood, directing bigger and
better "Command Performance"
shows!
Bogey's Back
Horror Man, Boris Kurloff,
master of the macabre, is now
heard Sunday nights as guest on
the Inner Sanctum Mysteries
broadcast via the Blue Network,
to a network of Canadian stations
at 8.30! Mt'. Karloff's Friday
the 13th of March fun -party at
his Hollywood home, was one of
the most original and eerie, yet
staged by a member of the nlovie-
r'adio colony!
Bonus From Baker
One of the shows a lot of Cana-
dians thoroughly enjoy is the
"Breakfast Club," broadcast by a
majority of flit.' stations daily at
9,00 a,n1. Jack linker, tenor of
the show, recently sang a concert
for convalescent soldiers and sail-
ors at the O'Reilly General hos-
pital in Springfield, .Missouri, And
here's the bonus: Jack gave them,
as a parting, gift, a fine. public-
address system for the hospital
auditorium!
An 1150 Listening Tip or Two
The excitement, the danger, the
brilliant execution of a mass
bombing flight over military ob-
jectives in Germany, is just one
of the many spine -tingling epi-
sodes in the life of the buys of
the R.C.A.F. on Active Duty,
brilliantly recreated for radio in
the story "Flying For Freedom,"
heard from CKOC, Wednesday
nights at 8.00 o'clock.

Lesson In Attack
For New Airmen
New pilots with the Royal Can-
adian Air Force Spitfire Squad-
ron got a lesson not long ago
from a veteran English command-
ing officer when they tools part
in a sweep over the const of
Northern France tt'it.h another
Canadian fighter unit,
On the way across the channel
a formation of Messcrsehmitte
appeared far below and its the
words of the commander: "Seine
of the more bloodthirsty Cana-
dians wanted to dive and attack
them".
"I had to point out," ho ad-
ded, "there was another larger
Gorman formation considerably
above us, waiting for us to do
just that so it could attack us
the moment we were involved in
a scrap, The lads were disap-
pointed, just the sante"
The sweep was the Canadians'
second job of the day which
started with a patrol over a con-
voy moving along the British
coast,
Supply Of Wheat
Larger Than Ever
Surplus in Four Leading
Nations Biggest on Record
Despite two successive short
war crops and prospects that the
1;)42 production may he smaller
yet, the world may have a larges
supply of wheat this year than
ever before,
'Phis is because the surplus
existing in the world's foto' lead-
ing expert ing not ions -United
States, Canada„Australia and Ar.
gelding- -is the largest on record,
Russia Excluded
The pre-enl prospects indicate
a 10101 1042 erup for most of the
world of lu'ound 3,950,0011,000
bushels, or slightly less than was
harvested last year. This figure
compares with the record crop of
4,030,000,01)1) produced in 11138,
Russia and China are excluded
from the world figures becnuse
adequate information has not been
available.
The world -again exclusive of
Russia and China -is expected to
have a carryover of about 1,51)0,-
000,000 bus hel,9 of old wheat
when the 10.12 crop is harvested.
Of this amount, only about 175,-
000,000 bushels were expected to
bo held by countries other titan
the United States, C'nnnda, Aust-
ralia and Argentii.a.
Famine implied
'1'Ite largo stocks in the four
exlalt'tillg countries and small
stocks in other countries
imply a serious bread situation
in continental Europe.
United States is expected to
have a wheat supply of 1,425,-
000,000 bushels when this year's
crop is harvested. The carryover
of old wheat is estimated at about
030,000,000 bushels. This count-
ry normally uses about 675,000,-
000 bushels a year for all pur-
poses,
Thu crop in Europe this year
is expected to be about the stone
as last year's below average liar -
vest. Bail weather, luck of labor
aid military operations have hin-
dered farming operations there,
Australia Calls Up
More Land Forces
Tho Australian Government or-
dered that all Commonwealth land
forces be brought up to full war
atrength by calling up additional
personnel.
The order requires all unmar-
ried men between the ages of 18
and 45, as well as married men
front 18 to 35, to report imme-
diately for military service.
Army Minister Francis Fordo
said the step was taken on recom-
mendation of Gen, Sir Thomas
lllnnley, Commander of Allied
land forces in Australia, and ap-
plied to Wren who were already
listed for service but who would
not have been called for some
tints.
Intensive battle training for all
units was ordered by Gen. Blaney,

How War Affects
Farm Auction Sale
It Puts Pep Into it, Says The
Woodstock Sentinel -Review
If you really want to know
how the war is affecting Ontario,
attend one of the farm auctions.
Auctioneers say the attendance
is away above the attendance be-
fore the war and prices appear
to ignore any such thing as price
ceilings. Good quality farm ma-
chinery is at a premium, Ancient
binders dating from before the
Great War, they say, find a
ready market at prices more than
half their original cost.
Buggies are scarce and bring
from 820 to $25. Before the
war, buggies, good enough for the
purpose, could be had at auction
for $3. Three horses sold for
$150 each. A year ago, the
auctioneer said, these horses
would have brought only front
$75 to $90. A binder, which had
cut two crops, sold for $285. The
market price of the machine to-
day, including Federal Tax, is
$325, Most surprising of all, a
tnanure spreader, bought second
hand two years ago for $45, sold
for $116, A crosscut saw, cost-
ing $3.50 when new, sold for
$5.25. Similarly, furniture brings
prices which definitely put it in
the antique class.

Store Up Steam
in Accumulators
British War Factories Have
Saved Thousands of Tone of
Fuel
Thousands of tons of fuel have
been saved 1n 'Britain's war fac-
tories by storing steam in accumu-
lators during air raids. Although
factories do not Eliot down merely
on getting the "alert," they have
to do so when tho roof spoilers
signal that the rnlders aro over-
head,
But instead of the boilers blow-
ing off Weir steam Into the air
when work stops, the steam is gen-
erated into the accumulators and
stored, to be used when the raiders
have passed.
More than a thousand of these
accumulators have now been hi•
stalled In Iron and steel works,,
sugar refineries, breweries, dair-
ies, dyeworks and laundries. All
act on the same principle—the
storage of energy during off-peak•
load periods, and the calling Into
action of this steam when produc-
tion requires it.
In one sur~in' refinery the lustal-
lat)on of a stearal accumulator
raised production by 12 per cent,
and lowered coal consumption by
about 7 per cent, In a dairy the
time taken to produce condensed
milk was reduced by 20 to 25 per
Nut, while In a brewery 16 per
lent of the coal was saved. Out-
put in a laundry was Increased by
10 per cent after installing an ac-
sunlulator, and the boiler efticl-
igcy of a dyeworke was Improved
om 66 to 74 per cent.
Britain has the largest steam
accumulators in the world, their
steel shells being 14 feet 6 inches
in diameter by 82 feet long and
weighing approximately Ii00 tons.

What Science
Is Doing
Hungry people live longest—if
the are not too hungry, Edwin
Teale writes in Popular Science
Monthly. A diet that contains
all essentials in reduced quanti-
ties is, next to long-lived ances-
tors, the greatest aid to longev-
ity. This is the conclusion of
eight years of pioneer experi-
ments with more than 2,500 white
rata by Dr, Clive M, McCay, work-
ing under a grant of the Rocke-
feller Foundation at Cornell Uni-
versity,
White rat:; react to diet in the
same manner as humans. Roughly
ten days In the life of a rat 1s

equal to one year in the life of
a man. All the rata were fed
a basal diet, but those receiving
only half rations lived longest.
The reduced diet slowed down
bodily activities. There were
' fewer white corpuscles in the
blood stream, and the animals'
hearts beat only three hundred
times a minute instead of the four
hundred beats of the well-fed
rat,
Living moro slowly, saving en-
ergy, they lived longer, The Me-
thuselah
s-thuselah of the laboratory was
an underfed rodent with a life
span of 1,430 daya—proportion-
ately 148 years for a man.
To find if excess in one kind
of food shortened life more than
excess in other kinds, Dr, McCay
fed one group of middle -age rats
excess sugar, another starch, a
third whole -milk powder, and a
fourth liver. All four over -fed
groups lived approximately the
earns' ;length of time, All died
much sooner than they would
have if they had continued on
short rations. Over eating, no
matter whnt, works against a Jong
life,
Dr, McCay oould find no "long-
evity foods", Nor eould he find
that a high protein diet short-
ened the span of life. He thus
aura up his findings: "Eat what
you ought to eat first; then sat
what you want to eat—but not
too much of it."
