This last being hotly contested by the British. In November 1943, Churchill' favored ceasing all British tank ,tank production. The cabinet disagreed. Until the arrival of Claude Gibb in June 1943. the development of British tanks had been dominated by the , automobile industry since 1939. Their efforts had been unsuc- cessful, as we have seen, yet an interesting -Side-light is thrown by the bestowal of no less than seven knighthoods on these industrialists, five of whom 1w6i% eased out of office Go the tank board. No other depart- . ment of the Ministry of Supply received so many ' accolades, whether for failure or success. The argument of the automo- bile lobby was that the prestige of the British Auto Industry would be ruined if we were to appear .at the Peace table, h ing failed .to produce a' ..tahk which Was bittleworthy—wer the inventors of the tank! The cabinet won out and the British under •Gibb continued to build tanks, one of wthich , eventually emerged as the "Cen- turion." But the Italian cam- paign fizzled out and the Rus- sians secured the peace. The "Centurion" came out M 1946 and was thus in time for the Korean war. It is a good tank.

It must comprise members of a cadre of suitably trained weapon engineers, to supple- ment the present "staff" and thus form a staff which is, in fact; general. (2) This weapon staff must have aullullity in its own field, co- equal with the present cadre of logisticians, planners, sup- pliers and manoeuvrers ot _t.roops,_inthe.fie1d..

BELL LINES by W.W. Haysom • your telephone • manager # ; YOUR TELEPHONE DIRECTORY • Back in the early days, of 'telephone service, telephone • directorieS were pretty simple affairs, In fact, the first "direc- tories" were simply cards which listed names of all subserillers, and which early .subscribers could keep by their telephones. . The first tiny book -type directories in 1B80 also just listed the names of those who had telepluines. A little later numbers for the subscribers were added. Sometimes the books explained to the customer how to speak Over the telephone; warned him not to use the telephone during an electrical storm or gave the hours that service was available. Ads for everything from shoes and livery stables tO,corsets, mineral water and stres, bright- ened ,the' pages. Today's directories also contain a fund of information. A section at the beginning of the book Ls ready for you to jot down number e you might need in an emergency. Just by flipping through the introductory pages you can find out • how,to place a conference call, a cal to vehicles and shiPs at sea or calls to 150 foreign countries. They list the Area Code numbers for Many places across Canada and the United States so that you can Place long distance calls faster. And, for the many Ontario and Quebec communities which now have Direct Distance Dialing, the directories explain all about the long distance calls that you can place yourself. Also, foracom- ,, munities which have toll-free calling with nearby centres, lists of these Communities are provided. There's all this and more , in the front of your telephone book . . . and in additipn at the beginning of thg Yellow Pages there is a whole page of postal information. Why not let your directory help you get the • .most out of all the service that is now built into your telephone? Obttuary ' —MRS. 'THOMAS Mr. Thomas H.
