Zurich Herald, 1942-07-02, Page 3FRESH FROM CANADIAN SHIPYARDS
dowing through calm off -'shore waters of the Atlantic, five Canadian -built Corvettes, fresh from
ei':ipyards, with the rivets on their plates hardly cooled, head for the high seas to be put through their
:;:aces before being declared fit for service. Scores of these trim "pocket-size" destroyers, bearing
xames of Canadian cities and towns from coast to coast are joined in the grim Battle of the Atlantic to
n-aintain vital life lines ..of the Allied Nations.
What Science
Is Doing
SECRET GRAMOPHONE
" The, "synchrophone" is one of
I rite n's war secrets, says The
Brockville Recorder and Times.
It is .io secret that even the mak-
ers (:f the gramophone records
:which are part of the invention
da net see the pictures which
ompiete it; nor are the picture
inax: s allowed to hear the rec-
' orda,
The synchrophone is used for
*training certain service amen. It
is the joint work of an engineer,
a recording expert and a man
ekii ied in photographic layout.
It is better than a film because
it can be shown in daylight; and
Chic is not the time to say more
abo:;t it.
in other directions, Blitain'e
gramophone record industry has
beer. fully harnessed to the war
effort. Already many training
establishments in the RAF are
making use of records either for
the technical ground staff or for•
flying crews. The sounds of air-
plane engines, for example, are
reproduced by gramophone fo'r
future pilots learning "blind" fly-
ing; and the sound of machine
guns, of different calibres of shell
and of various signals are also
taught daily by gramophone.
Britain's recording engineers
have added much to their know-
ledge in solving the technical
problems with which they have
been. faced. The need to record
with complete fidelity sounds nev-
er before heard on a disc has so
broadened .the spectrum pf sound
that tones are now being recorded
three- or four octaves above the
highest note on a piano to a full
octave below the lowest. Rec-
orded sound has, in short, been
pushed to the limit of the range
of audibility, which will mean a
more perfect recording of music
when peace returns.
Advised To Sleep
With Window Shut
A heating engineer from the
University of Minnesota is the
authority for this: Sleep nine
months out of the year with your
bedroom windows closed. You'll
not only reduce your fuel costs,
but you'll cut down the possibil-
ities of colds, sinus infections and
other disorders, And here's why
—one window in your bedroom,
weai.herstripped and with a storm
window on and closed, will infil-
trate enough fresh air into your
bedroom. (provided your door is
left ajar) to make sleeping health-
ful and comfortable for four ad-
ults in that room. He says a
house "breathes" just as a person
doe: and without the doors and
windows being open.
Men Needed For
The Reserve Army
Everyone Should Be In Ac-
tive or Reserve Forces
The Reserve Army wants the
banker, the broker, the clerk in
uniform as well as the butcher, the
baker, the caudlestick maker,
Maj, -Gen. B. W. Browne, Director -
General of the Reserve Army,
made clear not long ago.
The general said every eligible
citizen should be in either the
Active or the Reserve forces. That
means, he said, that men of the ,
so-called "white collar class" who
are moderately or wall educated
are needed as buck privates as
well as men who work with their
hands.
The reason is that the Reserve
Army must do its training in the
spare time enjoyed by its members
from their civilian occupations.
The more education a man has the
quicker he can absorb instruction.
Thus it is possible to make a rea-
sanalbly efficient soldier out of a
man who Ives a fair education and
is aocuetomed to using his mind
in his work in less time than re-
quired to bring a man with little
education and whose mind is not
accustomed to absorbing informa-
tion np to the same standard.
"After all, the Reserve Army
may have to do ,some fighting with
very little training," said General
Browne. "The greater results we
can show for the least training,
the better."
In some Reserve Army waits
leen are being divided iuto •classes
.for training so that the slower
members of the unit will not hold
the others back. Thus the man
who responds quickly to training
will not become bored by having
to repeat the same processes over
and over again until the slowest
hien in the unit learn their lessone,
The Reserve Army recruiting
program is rolling along well, Its
object is to bring all Reserve
Army units up to full strength, a
total of more than 150,000 Men.
America Seeks
Alaskan Spruce
Sitka Spruce is Needed For
Airplane Factories
America is turning again to her
spruce forests for vital war mai.
terial.
A quarter century ago, when the
nation last was engaged in a great
war, labor battalions went into the
woods of the Pacific northwest
and cut billions of feet of, spruce
far wee in airplane construction,
Today the axe is being sharp-
ened and the law set for the
spruce forests of southeastern Al•
aska. The government has called
upon western logging companies
to harveat the. vast stands of Sit-
ka spruce for airplane factories.
Spruce grows more slowly in
Alaska than elsewhere and de-
velops longer, tougher fibres that
better withstand the stress and
strain of an airplane in flight,
says Charles G. Burdick, U. S.
forestry official who has been in
the nor'ther'n territory for 16
years, The wood is light and ideal
for use in planes, ho said.
Training ships are being made
prixnoipally of wood, freeing metal
for combat ships,
• Burdick said the government
hoped to log 15,000,000 board feet
per month around Ketchikan with
lumber companies in Washington,
Oregon and other western states
doing the work on contract. Saw-
mills in Alaska will eut, seine of.
the loge and the remainder will
be towed to Puget Sound mills
or to Portland. Final dressing of
the wood will be done in earth-
weSt specialty mills.
Britain Builds Up
Food "Laundries"
If gas should be used against
Britain, arrangements have been
made to safeguard the nation's
food supplies against contamina-
tion.
It has taken some years to per-
fect the countrywide service
which today stands ready to sal-
vage any foodstuffs which may be
exposed to gas. Air Raid Precau-
tions experts were experimenting
on the salvage of gas -contamina-
ted foods before war begun and
today, although no unit has had
to go into action, the service
stands at the alert, ready for
emergency.
The backbone of the service is
the growing chain of food "laun-
dries" for cleansing the food, now
built up throughout the country.
The "laundries" are staffed bT
civil defence personnel, working
in co-operation with the local
authorities. It is estimated that
these decontamination units could
salvage ninety percent. of the
food treated.
Do You Remember?
The inaugural ride of the hors*
and buggy sightseeing system was
featured by a runaway at Niagara
Falls. The new sightseeing car-
riage turns the clock back a quer-
ter of a century when horse drawn
vehicles were last seen engaged
in the tourist business.
TOW CAN I?
Q. What can I use as a sub-
etitute for dog biscuits?
A. One can save money spent
on dog biscuits, as well as make
use of all leftover bread. Slice
the bread and put it into the
broiling oyen. Allow it to get
brown on one side, and then turn
over and brown until quite hard.
This makes a good dog biscuit;
it affords splendid roughage and
is a good tooth cleaner.
Q. How can I be sure of an
even color when using a soap dye?
A. When tinting garments with
a soap dye, put the cake of soap
into a shaker and shake it in the
water until you have the shade
desired. This insures an even dye
and clean hands.
Q. How can I keep leather auto
upholstery in good condition?
A. To restore leather auto up-
holstery after it has been rained
on, and to keep it in good condi-
tion, rub linseed oil into it occa-
sion ally.
Q. How can I stop a leak in a
gas plate?
A. If you are using a gas plate
with a tubing that leaks or smells,
melt some paraffin wax and dip
the leaky part in it, or dip it in
all over. It will be as good 08
new. Painting metal gas hose
with aluminum paint stops any
leak and greatly prolongs its life.
Q. Ilow can I prevent, sticking
dresser drawers?
A. Sandpaper and varnish the
edges of sticking dresser drawers.
The varnish will keep them from
swelling and shrinking. It is a
good idea to varnish or paint the
inside of the drawers also,

Have You Heard?
A young matron pf our ao.
quaintance, taking first aid train-
ing, has reached the resuscitation
stage, One evening recently, re-
turning from a Red Cross meet-
ing, she observed a man, on a
darkened side street, sprawled
face downward.
"Aha," thought the matron.
"Providence has sent me hither
to minister to this poor unfortun-
ate," Parking her car nearby,
she rushed over and began giving
the treatment for resuscitation.
Presently the pian stirred, and
looked up, spoke with great diffi-
culty:
"Lady," he said, "I don't know
what you're up to, but I wish
you'd quit tickling me. I'm hold-
ing a lantern for a guy working
down in this manhole."—Quote.
Mrs. Jones: "How's your
son getting along in the
Army, Mrs. Smith?"
Mrs. Smith: "What do you
think? They've promoted
Herbert for hitting a serg-
eant. They've made him a
court martial."
Jack: "I've a friend I'd like to
have you girls meet."
Athletic Girl: "What can he do?
Chorus Girl: "How much has
he?"
Literary Girl: "What does he
read?"
Business Girl: "What has he
accomplished?"
Religious Girl: "What church
does he belong to?"
Spinster: "Where is he?"
Farmer: "Let me tell you,
my friend, that horse knows
as much as 1 do."
Friend: "Well, don't toll
anybody else; you might want
to sell him some day."
When the old grandfather of a
German family died, his sorrow-
ing relatives put the usual an-
nouncement in the local news-
paper. It ran:
"Ernst Muller has been called
to a Better world."
And next day they were ar-
rested for criticizing the Naas
regime.
"What did the calf say to
the silo?"
"I don't know."
"Is my fodder in there?"
The bus was, as usual, crowd.d
and the party of five WAAIG's
found themselves hanging on the
straps. Presently one bright mem-
ber
ember of the company said loudly to
her friend: "I wish that smart,
,good-looking man would give me
his seat."
Almost before she'd finished,
five men stood up to offer their
soots.
He: "Pm thinking of get-
ting married; what do you
think?"
She: "I think it's a wonder-
ful idea if you ask me,"
In 1936-37 the output of timber
in the Belgian Congo was doubled
and the maize crop trebled.
Packers Develop
Dehydrated Meat
Product May Become Popu-
ar With Domestic Consumers
Disclosure that large scale lend
lease export of pleat is at hand,
through a revolutionary shipping
space -saving method of prepara-
tion, was heralded in the packing
industry as a major development
in the livestock -meat trade.
Meat is to be dehydrated and
shipped in containers requiring
only a fraction of the cargo room
needed for transportation of a
corresponding quantity during the
last world war. Packers estimate
enough neat can be packed into
a military plane to feed a whole
division for a limited period,
Of equal importance with the
space -saving feature was disclos-
ure that beef would be shipped to
American allies and armed forces.
This attracted special attention
in the cattle industry, sines up to
now most lend-lease shipments
have been pork and lard.
Saves Shipping Space
Thera were some estimates that
the compressing of meat by the
new process would permit ship-
ment in one vessel of a quantity
equivalent to the cargo of ten
ships a quarter century ago.
The new methoa, developed by
packers at the request of govern-
ment officials, involves grinding
of meat, pre-cooking, and drying
in air dryers or vacuum. T
produces small palatable pellets,
to which it is necessary only i
add water to make a substanee
most identical to fresh ,ground
meat.
Packers believe the dehydrated
product eventually may become
popular with domestic consumers.
Their kitchen experts have work-
ed out numerous menus for dishes,
including meat loaf, hamburger,
hash and combinations with veg- -
stables,
Nearly 32,000 ponies and hors-
es are now hauling coal in mines
of England and Wales.
Modern Etiquette
1. Is it courteous for a person in
a store to tell a clerk, "I am just
looking around"?
2. When serving a breakfast be-
tween 11 a.m. and 12.30, should it
be in the form of a breakfast or
a luncheon?
3. What day of the week should

4. What should a divorced wo-
man do with the rings given her
by her first husband, after she
remarries?
5. How long should a woman
remain when making a social call
on a new neighbor?
6. If a hostess is going to serve
coclitails, and has one or two
guests who she knows do not drink
them, what should she do?
ANSWERS
1. Yes. The goods are on diae-
play, and the person has this priv-
ilege, withot buying; but ono
should never handle the various
articles. 2. A luncheon. 3. This
is altogether a matter of choice;
she may choose any day desired..
4. Some women dispose of their
first engagement and wedding
rings, while others wear them on
the right hand. 5. From 15 to 25
minutes. 6. Provide tomato juice,
