All of these plants have duplicate plants deep in the ground, very com- fortably and completely fitted up so that the entire work of getting out the paper can be carried on without interruption during raids. Moreover, several of these papers have complete plants in other cities where some ed- itions are printed every day. For in- stance, the Daily Express, which has a daily circulation of about two and a half millions, is printed in three plac- es, London, Manchester and Glasgow. They are so co-ordinated by, wire ser- vice that although they are set up and made up in each city, they are exactly alike on moss pages. Advertising has been almost cut to advertising every day. Display ad- vertising usually has to be booked several weeks in advance, and even then without any guarantee that it will appear. In cases where legal adver- tising must appear before a certain date, care must be taken to advise the client if it cannot be, printed, in order that an effort maybe made to have it printed elsewhere. Advertisements for beer and liquor may still be carried in the English papers, although they are now banned in Canada. With so much difficulty in obtain- ing advertising space in the newspap- ers, it is riot surprising to see a new development. Large numbers of not- ices, that ordinarily would be want ads in the papers, are now displayed on small cards in shop windows. We saw a great many of such ad- vertising cards, not printed, but writ- ten by hand, placed on display in the shop windows in many of the cities we visited. We do not know whether the shopkeeper makes a charge for all these notices (although we heard that some shopkeepers charge 5 shillings), and we wondered if this practice will COtitititie after the war is over. It is not surprising, with curtail- ments in the size and number of pages of the newspapers, that the news is also condensed. There are a, great many very short items making tip the news columns, but taking into consid- eration the difficulties tinder which they are operating, the British news- papers are very readable and give a supritingly good news coverage in the space at their disposal. News of Can- ada appears in fairly good volume and is well presented.

They are afraid that subscription copies may also be banned. They appreciate the home paper nov in a way that they never did before they left home. They read every word of it. One officer re- marked that he considered a boatload of papers from home is a boatload of morale. One reason why this restriction was placed on Canadian papers was that some publishers had been bundling up their over-runs, and sending them over to be distributed. We were told by one service worker that he had seen at one time 600 bags of such papers, and he simply did not know what to do with them. There is no doubt that the publishers who •sent them were anx- ious to help. They thought it was a good thing to do, but it actually was a misguided effort. It was a great pleasure to be able to visit one of the leading weekly news- papers, "The Danbury Guardian” which was the paper on which my father, the late George Legge, served his apprenticeship. This is one of the older weeklies of England and has been owned by the same family for a great many years. It is interesting to compare present- day training with that of seventy years ago. In his memoirs, Mr. George Legge said, "The training I got in this establishment covered a much wider range than the technical schools of to- day,-sweeping floors, building fires, washing rollers, sorting pye, fetching in beer, gin, rum, and snuff, varied by an occasional hour spent on the old canal bank catching minnows for the foreman's next fishing trip.” Weekly papers have increased their price front two pence to three pence per issue, advertising rates have in- creased about fifty per cent since the Start of the war and the papers de- creased in size, Saw SHREDDED WHEAT (Nabisco) 2 0gs, 23o WHITE SHOE POLISH (2 in 1) .— 2 for 25o SERVIETTES, 70 size pkg, POLIUM POT AND PAN CLEANER 13c JAVEL WATER BLEACH .„,„ quart 9c FLOOR WAX— Black Cat, Castle, Shinola. 1-lb. tin „,.. .. special 25c MAZOLA SALAD OIL— For cooking & making own Salads ..... 64-oz. 94c KELLOGG'S RICE KRISPIES pkg. 12c 5-MINUTE CREAM OF WHEAT pkg. 23c KRAFT DINNER .... pkg. 17c ORANGES- 35c, 39c, 45c, 49c dozen GRAPEFRUIT 8c, 10c, 12c ea.

OBITUARY .Mt - Article No, 27, English Newspapers .Tri Wartime Another in a aeries of articles written by W. R. Legge and C, V, Vharters, who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers AssoCiation in a recent tour overseas, Andrew S. Murray One of Wingham's oldest residents, Andrew Sthorts Murray, passed on at his home. Victoria Street early Wed- nesday morning, July 14th, in his 90th year. Mr. Murray had not been enjoy- ing the best of health this spring and summer• but he was only confined to his bed a week prior to his death. Despite his advanced age :he walked erect and he took a keen interest in all that was going on. He followed the course of the war day by day and had kept close tab on local events. He was very fond of sports and the hockey broadcasts were his special favourities. He was born at Roxboro- shire, Scotland, When he was a year old his parents came to Canada and settled at Camlachie in the Sarnia district, Eight years later they moved to Turnberry and Mr, Murray has been a resident !here since, except for a short time spent at Delmore and 114ildmity. He learned the trade of Blacksmith when he was 17 and con- tinued in this business !until he retired about 30 years ago. His parents were the late David and Ellen Murray. His wife was the former Elizabeth Found who predeceased him 40 years :ago. He leaves to mourn his passing three daughters and two sons, Jennie, Nellie, James and Janet at home and.

The Daily Telegraph, we were Flora Murray of Brandon and Anna 'told, refuses about thirty columns of By Walter R, Legge Like everything else, the newspap- ers in England have been very much much changed by the war, Imagine news stands which will not sell you a newspaper, Imagine the advertising managers of newspapers being court- ed by those who are trying to buy a little of the space available, One of our first experiences was at the news stand in our London hotel. We had heard rumors of the Dieppe raid which took place just as we were leaving Canada, but we had not read anything about it. We were anxious to see a newspaper. However, the news stand could not sell us one un- less it was ordered in advance. Thus we abruptly learned to apprec- iate a privilege which we do not think about here, the privilege of being able to buy a newspaper at any time. People over there are now glad to have any paper at all. The privilege of having a paper delivered every day is a highly prized one. A householder who goes away for a time often finds on his return that someone else has taken the right to get his daily paper and it may be a hard task to get bad in the goad graces of the paper boy. People travelling on a train wil nearly always pass their newspape around to the other people in the compartment after they have read it Newsprint is severely rationed it England. Not only have the publish ors been forced to reduce the numbe of pages to a fraction of the usual vol (line, but the circulation has had to b drastically curtailed. In many case the size of the pages and the width o the columns have been reduced. Our party was entertained at the Daily Telegraph,• the Daily Express The Times and Reuters Agency. We were shown through their plants and given every courtesy. At one of these newspapers, we found that the paper had been .cut down from an average issue of 28 pages to 4 pages. In addition,"the cir- culation has been cut from 920,000 daily average to 650,000. Several hun- dred applications for subscriptions each day have to be refused.
