REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS
(Continued from preceding page)
• • • • • •
As in previous years, a copy of this Report will be mailed to each
Employee. And the Directors wish again to thank Employees of all ranks
for faithful and competent work,
Of those in the Company's service prior to September 1st, 1939,
898 men have enlisted for war service. To each, an enlistment gratuity
has been paid, And each man has been assured re-employment when dis-
charged.
Men who enlisted had to be replaced In addition, tho enlarged
'volume of the last two year's has made necessary the taking on of many
more Employees,
On August 1st, 1939, Employees of all ranks numbered .,-. 5,300.
On August 1st, 1941, the corresponding figure was 6,600,
Of these, 2,799 are Employees of less than two years' service.
In an Industry in which the margin of Profit is so narrow, Unit Cost
of production is a matter of the highest importance. The pressure of
increased volume, and the high percentage of inexperienced workmen,
have led, during the year, to a certain increase in Unit Costs,
This has not been due to lack of effort on the part of workmen,
New Employees have had to learn their jobs, frequently under con-
ditions of bewildering -pressure, It is hoped that a proper realization of
this fact has been present in the minds of Foremen, Sub -foremen, and
all others charged with the fluty of training these inexperienced men and
women.
Directors hope that during the coming year new efficiency records
may be set up. To this end they request the salve loyal co-operation
which has always characterized the work of the Employees of the Com-
pany.
Under its Profit-sharing Plan, the Company, at the end of the fiscal
year, distributed to Employees a Bonus of $699,407,00.

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. Is a clergyman addressed
as "Reverend Jackson?"
2. Is it proper to abbreviate
the name of the month when
writing the date in a letter?
3, To whom should friends of
the br'idegr'oom send their gifts if
they are not acquainted with the
bride?
4, Does a woman have the
privilege of refusing to be intro-
duced to a man she doesn't core
to meet?
5, Is it all right to file and
clean the finger nails in public?
6, Should the handle of a cup
be turned a certain way when
passing a cup and saucer to an-
other person?
Answers
1, No; address him as "Mr.
Jackson," unless he is a Doctor
of Divinity, in which case ho is
addressed as "Doctor Jackson,"
'2. No, The name of the month
is written in full, 3. All wed-
ding gifts must be sent to the
home of the bride. 4, Yes;
should a friend suggest introduc-
ing her to Robert Blair, she may
say, "Not today, thank you," or
"Perhaps some other day." Under
no circumstances, however, should
she say, I "don't like Mr. Blair,
and do not care to meet him,"
5. This is the act of an ill-bred
person. The nails should be filed
and cleaned before going out. 6.
Yes, see that the handle of the
cup is turned to the person's right
and the handle of the spoon is
placed parallel to the handy of
the cup.
What Science
Is Doing
-o-
ALUNITE ALUMINUM
Approximately three-fourths of
all the bauxite ore front which al-
uminum is made in this country is
imported, chiefly from Dutch Gui-
ana, while most of the remainder
comes from Arkansas, For years
scientists have sought to obtain
an additional supply of the light-
weight metal from alunite, a white
or sometimes pinkish mineral
found in Utah and several other
Western states, The Bureau of
Mines reported recently that the
alunite experiments were at last
successful and that aluminum
needed for defense can be obtain-
ed in quantity and at reasonable
cost from these domestic deposits,
The process involves removing
impurities from the alunite ore,
thereby freeing the alumina, or
oxide of aluminum, from which
aluminum metal is manufactured.
A great deal of power is required
just as in the conventional tech-
nique of aluminum reduction.
Tho Department of the Interior
emphasized that alunite cannot re•
place bauxite as the major source
of aluminum, since total domestic
deposits of the former mineral, If
used to meet the nation's full al-
uminum requirements, would last
less than a year. The process may
also eventually be used for treat-
ing certain aluminum -bearing clays
and low-grade bauxite ores, of
whtcll this country has immense
reserves.
COTTON STALKS
Deep down in a former junkroom
of the Clemson, S. C,, College
Chemistry Department and work-
ing with homemade equipment,
Prof. F. Zur Burg has produced
a satisfactory wallboard from
ootton stalks.
This new development presents
the possibility of a new industry
in southeastern United States and
offers a use for cotton stalks
'which have heretofore been plow-
ed under. Before long, Midwestern
corn, which is being developed
for making synthetic rubber and
gun powder, may be getting ser•
sous competition In industrial use
from King Cotton,

The touring company had never
been of the best, and when they
reached the stage of playing to
the family of the man who owned
the little country theater, and
found that they left at the end
of the first act, it was decided to
break up.
Two of the actors set out to
work their way back to London.
They were lucky enough to get
a passage on a barge, and when
passing through a lock they over-
he6trd this conversation;
"What you got on board this
trip, Jim?"
"Load of fertilizer and a Couple

The two actors looked at each
other in silence, and sighed deeply,

Exiles In Arms
A Growing Force
Foreign Legions Train In Bri-
tain to Fight Against Ger
many
Little has been heard of the
new foreign legions in training
in Britain, exiled armies in em-
bryo preparing to fight the Ger-
mans for restoration of their na-
tive soil, It has been known that
their strength is constantly in-
creasing, but how formidable a
force they are becoming Is made
known for the first time by a
special correspondent of The
Times of London, who has spent
some days in the training quar-
ters of each nationality in turn.
There are now separate estab-
lishments of Poles, Norwegians,
Czechs, Belgians, Dutch and
French, each nation having rep-
resentation in fast - growing
camps, What started as a bat-
talion of this or that nationality
has now become a regiment, in
some cases a brigade, and in one
instance, the Polish, actually a
home division, The Poles are the
largest contingent, They guard
an important Scottish section of
Britain. The Norse are the sec-
ond largest in number. The cor-
respondent describes them as n
splendid body of men, many of
whorl have come originally from
seafaring centres, but enlisted in
the army as the readiest means
of fighting the enemy.
The Czechs, of whom there are
several battalions, have won
golden opinions from British mili-
tary experts. The Dutch forces
are composed both of men escap-
ed from Holland and the Dutch

residents in Britain and her col-
onies, They have their own offi-
cers. The Belgians, themselves
bilingual, have learned English
military terms most readily of all
the nationalities. They comprise
Flemings and Walloons in almost
equal proportion. The Free French
arrived as soldiers and are trans-
ferred to the de Gaulle forces in
the battle line as quickly as they
can be equipped and organized,
so that their camp is really a de-
pot and equipment centre, They
include gunners, signalers, tank
crews and motor experts, as well
as infantrymen, and have already
made their mark in the battles in
Africa.

• A Good Use Is Found For
Airplane Crater
At preseut only the flying fort-
resses and the largo bombers aro
flown from America to Britain,
Quentin Reynolds writes in Col-
liers, 'The fighting planes and
dive bombers are crated and ship-
ped across, One of the marvels
of the industrial age -according to
the boss of the, plant where the
American planes are assembled -1s
the way the packing is done back
in Buffalo or Long Island or Cali-
fornia,
"Airplanes have been coming
here for nearly a year," the boss
explains, "and we haven't had one
case of damage through faulty
packing, When we unpack the air-
planes we find a very good use for
the crates,"
He led ale through the barracks
where men who are 011 duty twen-
ty-four hours a day do their sleep-
ing, They were n t, long bar-
racks, looking a bit self-conscious
in their camouflage war paint.
They could sleep 600 mein and in
addition there was a recreation
room.
"All made from the crates sent
over from America," the boss ex-
plained. "Wood is novo too plen-
tiful. We don't beieve in waste
around hero. Anything that comes
from America is too precious not
to use."
Joke on Gestapo
A joke on the enemy in war-
time is bound to go over if for no
other reason than that it is a jefke
on the enemy in wartime. This
episode of the "powder room" is
one which stands on its own mer-
its, however, Not long ago an
extremely serious detachment of
Hitler's best Gestapo goose-step-
ped into the U.S. hntbassy in Ber-
lin, blueprints in hand. They ex-
plained with great gravity that in
this blueprint, drawn at the time
Berlin's old Blucher Palace was
being converted into the Em-
bassy, was a "powder room,"
which in literal translation reads
"Pulverkanlmer," a storehouse for
munitions. The party demanded
to see this potential saboteur''a

the powder room for visiting Ia-

National Suits
For Englishmen
Britons Need Money, Cou-
pons, Hips to Keep Up New
"National" Trousers
English tailors who regard them-
selves as arbiters of men's styles
received with admirable calm a
suggestion for a national suit,
which conceivably would have
struck then with horror in peace-
time.
The idea is to furnish Britons
with a suit which will save cloth
and labor. It is the brainchild of
S. Klein, managing director of one
of London's smartest stores.
Here is the idea: A short single-
breasted four -buttoned coat and
the elimination of the cherished
waistcoat or vest. Linings would be
whittled down and there would be
only one button on each sleeve.
Pockets would be without flaps.
The trousers would have no cuffs,
There would be no buttons for sus-
penders or as they are called there,
braces, and there wouldn't be belt
loops, S. Klein says there are cer-
tain self-supporting details which
will save the day.
So all the Englishman needs is
money, clothing coupons and hips
enough to keep up the trousers.

LESSON 10
Revelation: A Message to Per-
secuted Churches, Revelation 1-3.
GOLDEN TEXT: Be thou faith-
ful unto death, and I will give thee
the crown of life. Rev, 2 : 10.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time—About A.D. 95.
place—The island of Patmos, in
the Aegean Sea.
We might speak of the hook of
Revelation as the crowning dome
of the word of God; as in the book
of Genesis, all fundamental, re-
vealed truths originate, so in the
book of Revelation, do all funda-
mental truths terminate, The book
records a series of mighty battles,
ending in one tremendous and final
'victory, with all sin being put
away, and the Lamb of God on
the throne forever.
Angels of the Church
1, "To the angel of the Church
in Ephesus write: These things
Faith he that holdeth the seven
stars in his right hand, he that
walketh in the midst of the seven
golden candlesticks; 2. I know thy
works, and thy toil and patience,
and that thou canst not bear evil
men, and didst try them that call
themselves apostles, and they are
not, and didst find them false;
3. and thou hast patience and
didst bear for my name's sake,
and hast not grown weary. 4. But
I have this against thee, that thou
didst leave thy first love. 6. Re-
member therefore when thou art
fallen, and repent and do the first
works; or else I come to thee,
and will move thy candlestick out
of its place except thou repent.
8. But this thou hast, that thou
hatest the works of the Nicol-
altans, which l also hate, 7. He
that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saki to the church-
es, To him that overcometh. to
him will i give to eat of the tree
of life which is in the Paradise
of Cor1." it Is not known exactly
who is meant by the "angels" of
the teven churches. it may have
been the leading elder or ranking
officer of each of the churches.
Church at Ephesus
The Church at Ephesus, which
was founded by the Apostle Paul,
is commended for its good works,
its labor, its patience in the midst
of trials, and its ahhorense of
evil men, They, like the Lord, had
hated the works of the Nicolaitans,
a group of an impure and licen-
tious character, whieh would bring
into the Church the corrhption of
paganism. fn everything it would
seem the Church had been walk-
Ign worthy of the name of its Lord
Christ, But one thing was wrong.
it had departed from Its first love.
First love is the abandonment of
all for a love that has abandoned
all. A warning follows that, if the
Fpheslan Church did not repent of
this departure from the Lord, she
would be extinguished. She has
been. There is no Church, nor any
semblance of a group of believers.
In Ephesus today. it is nothing but
ruins.
Church In Smyrma

Church in Smyrma writ?: These

second death." Three things are
Indicated about the suffering of
the Smyrmist Church. Its me•'n-
bers were enduring tribulation,
They were suffering poverty and
there were the blasphemous de-
nunciations of those who claimed
to be Jesus but were not.
Christ's Promise
Three things our Lord said to
the harassed Church. First, he
knew all about their difficulties,
not merely by watching but by
bis own experience; not alone by
observing their suffering, but by
having Himself passed through the
same experience. In the second
place, these people are promised
not deliverance from persecution,
but an increase of persecution that
they might be further tested. Yet,
our Lord said, "Fear none of these
things. Be thou faithful unto
death," Finally our Lord said that
he that would remain faithful would
never be touched by the second
death, which is eternal death.
In spite of all the blemishes
which Christ has pointed out to
the Church, mercy is still here,
grace and love, and a longing to
be all things to all men, Christ
stands at the door knocking—it
would seem at the door of individ-
ual hearts, awaiting an invitation
to enter, and promising, if the door
is opened, that he will conte in
and enter into the most precious
fellowship with us.
All So Simple!
The Nazi schcfme is simple. All
other peoples must be dominated
by the Germans; all Germans
must be dominated by the tough-
est gang of Germans; the tough-
est gang of Germans must be
dominated by the toughest elite
among them; the toughest elite
must be dominated by the big-
gest tough of them all.

Caught in Russia
Beggar, Blind and Weary,
Turns Out to be German Spy
From Moscow comes this story:
A beggar, barefoot and appar-
ently blind, squatted on the side
of a dusty road teeming with mili-
tary traffic, singing an ancient
Russian folk song to the accom.
paniment of an accordeou.
Frequently the beggar beat his
breast, crossed himself and bowed
to sympathetic passerq by who
tossed coins and hits of bread into
his lap.
Artillery shells crashed nearby
and German planes bombed the
road but the beggar did not move.
Finally a Russian major passed
and noticed that the beggar wore
an old fashioned hone -spun shirt
no longer in vogue in Russia, I -Ie
saw suspicious over -patches on the
beggar's trousers and noticed that
the beggar's feet seemed delicate
for ono who should be used to a
hard life. The major approached
and exclaimed; "Sprechen sic
Deutsch?" ("Do you speak Ger-
man?")
"Ja," the beggar replied spon-
taneously.
I -Ie was arrested and confessed
that he was a German spy who
had been landed by parachute to
report on the disposition of Soviet
troops, His accordeon concealed a
radio transmitter. IIis name was
Georgi Lunev, He was 22, the son
of a Russian emigre and was a
music student at Nurnberg when
the German secret police recruited
frim, had him brush up on his Rus-
sian and trained him to roll up
his eyeballs to feign blindness,

Lignite May Be Great Bene-
fit to Northern Ontario's
Industrial Area
The Sudbury Star points out
• that the people of Northern On-
tario are intensely interested in the
results of the tests that aro being
made of lignite as a fuel. They are
anxious to see the product of the
big fields north of Cochrane sup-
plying the needs of the North
country,
This fuel has been tested in
stationary furnaces, but the Tem-
iskaming and Northern Ontario
Railway for the first time has used
it under the more exacting require-
ments of railway locomotives.
This test is not yet completed, and
the results are being awaited with
keen interest, If lignite can he
fitted into Northern Ontarios in-
dustrial and domestic fuel problem
it will be a great benefit to that
area.
It may take much additional ex-
perimental work, but it is encour-
aging to know that the experts
who are working on the problem
express the opinion that lignite
will come into its own, not only in
Northern Ontario, but in the prov-
ince as a whole, If the experi-
ments prove satisfactory, lignite
will bo added to the list of Nor-
thern Ontarios mining products,
The Stuff That

A diamond Is compose° of the
same material as lamp -black, soot
or pencil "lead," but the molecular
structure is different.
Diamonds will disappear upon
burning, will break if they are

are strong enough to wear away
two emery wheels a foot and a
halt in diameter and an inch in
thickness before showing any
wear,
The only thing that will cut u

The Motor Plant
Old and Modern
Orville Wright gazed down the
vast new motor plant at Cincin-
nati, so big that eight baseball
games, could be played in it at
once, and his thoughts must have
turned to the little bicycle shop
in which he and his brother 1Vi1•
bur built their first plane.
It was only 38 years ago, They
built their motor by hand, a
clumsy affair of 26.30 horsepower,
The new engine plant will turn
out 1,000 motors a month of 1,700
horsepower apiece,
People talk of the speed with
which life is changing. Here, in
much less than one man's whole
lifetime, the whole matter stands
clearly revealed, Tho flimsy little
pusher plane flown by Wright at
Kitty Hawk in 1903 has become
a colossus which, turned to a de-
structive use of which Wright
never dreamed then, now bestrides
the world, the master for good or
evil.

CHAPTER TWELVE
Valerie got In after her, begin-
ning at once to plan for future
trips, The small bed that folded up
against' the side when not in use
fscinatod her. The half dozen shin-
ing pans hanging from their hooks,
and the tiny oil stove, suggc .ted
incredible adventure,
They almost had to drag her
away when they were ready to
leave. Valerlo could hear Mark
talking to the head mechanic while
Lucy was packing. She heard the
man say something about a new
engine, and saw the quiet nod of
Mark's head, and his quick glance
at the old van, Evidently Lucy
was not to know, She would never
tell. If the Ark needed a new en-
gine, it was no more than it de-
served.
Back in the car again. stark
looked at his watch,
"Can you stand another night
at the hotel?" he asked, Valerie
nodded with enthusiasms, but Lucy
glanced with sheer panic at her
purse. She could hardly tell tlteln
that besides the Arlc, her capital
consisted of a flee -cent piece!
"You see, it's almost dinner tune,
If we stay here, We can get an
early start, and make Wide Acres
probably with ease—"
"Of course," thought Lucy, "he
couldn't imagine anybody with only
five cents. \\'hat's a ten -dollar -a -
night hotel to hien?"
But she changed her mind later
in the evening. As they left her
at her door, Mark hauled her an
envelope. lie did It so quietly that
even Valerie hardly noticed, In
her room, Lucy tore the envelope
open, A hundred -dollar bill lay
cosily inside a sheet of hotel note
paper.
"half your first mouth's salary
in advance," liar': had written.
"Just to hind the bargain. So you
Can't walk out on us." Then his
initials. Nothing more. Lucy sank
down on the tufted satin of her bed.
She had never owned a hundred -
dollar bill before. She felt. like
Crowns. Were employers often
like this? she wondered.
Beautiful Wide Acres
They reached Wide Acres in
time for dinner the next night,
Lucy never forgot her first sight of
the house. Mark had told her a
little about it, and she knew It was
comparatively new. But as they
drove up to the door and she
glimpsed its mellow Inlet( beyond
the great white pillars of the pot'•
ttco it was shard to believe 't hadn't
been there forever.
Chiltern opened the door. The
spirit in which the two men's hands
net was obvious, although all hark
said was, "Well, Chiltern!" And
Chiltern answel'ed, "It's good to
see you back, sir,"
Mrs, Ban -wood stood, primmer
than ever, in the background, wait-
ing to be greeted, And there were
the still -smiling Alice, and Katie,
the other staid. Lucy was explain•
ed to then, all simply as "Miss
Tredway, who has cone to us as
Miss Valerie's tutor."
Lucy felt more ,than a little
strange as site followed 'Airs. Ban -

at their heels. \Vhnt standing had

of companion. Although she had
never had a regular job before, she
knew sho was being overpaid for
this, Two hundred dollars a month
and such a home! Well, she must
try to earn it! So far, it looked
like no job at all,
Sho had heard Mark tell Mrs.
Banwood to show her several
guest suites and lot her choose,
But she never got farther than the
first one, She took one look at it,
put flown her purse and gloves, and
said, "I like this very much, i won't
look at any more, thanks,"
Lucy's Suite
It was a hedroon, sitting room,
and bath, all done in delicate
mauve and green and silver, with
here and there a faint touch of
blue.
"Dinner is at eight, Miss Tred-
way," said Mrs. Banwood. " The
houseman will bring your bags im-
mediately, Shall 1 send a maid to
you?"
"No, thanks," said Lucy, " ['m
quite used to looking after my-
self,"
.Airs. Bellwood said, "Thank
you," and shut the door. Lucy took
off her hat and loosened her flat-
tened hair. She glanced at Valerie,
who stood in the middle of the sit-
ting room looking critically around
her.
"Wouldn'tyou really like to see
the other's?" sho asked. "I could
show them to you myself, you
know. Maybe you'd like therm bet-
ter." She hoped Lucy would say
yes. "But [ couldn't possibly like
anything better," said Lucy, "Your
mother must have had pretty mar-
velous taste!" It was tire' first tine
she had mentioned Valerie's mo
they to Valerie,
"You see, my father built this
house quite a long time before he
married tis—" Valeria explained. "1
hemember he told mother she could

And mother said it was almost
too perfect as it was, and she
wouldn't (beau of touching 1t."
"And Trow sensible that was!"
Valerie had accomplished a
strange withdrawal at the mention
of Ellen. Lucy could have under-
stood grief, But this detachment
—almost as 1f she spoke of some
character in a story or play—was
a trifle uncanny,
Valerie jumped up from the deep
chair before the little wood tire,
"I'll have to change," she said,
"It's twenty minutes to eight."
A man knocked and came in with
Liters bags, and she began at
once to unpack.

Sweet Lavender
Munition Source
One of the street "cries of Lon-
don," called in a sing -song voice,
is"Who'll buy any sweet lavender,"
by women peddlers, but no longer
will it be head again until after
the war at least. Lavender—and-
lace—aro associated with love, but
lavender has other uses. The oils
distilled from this pretty mauve -
colored shrub nuke delicate per-
fumes, soaps and powders; twigs
have imparted the aroma of lav-
ender to countless numbers of
bridal dainties and boudoir Prot•
ties stowed away in a drawer.
Lavender is also the source of
medicines—and munitions. The
British Government needs all the
lavender oil It can get to help
make supplies and materials of
war to blast Ilitlerisnn from the
earth. So the oldest first of lay-
ender
avender distillers in the world has
switched from romance to war.
Easy -To -Make
Dressing Table
A most attractive dressing table
can be made from a few yards of
material, a shelf, an easel mirror
and an inexpensive stool. Have
the shelf (it should be about
eighteen inches wide) built under
a window. Curtain the window
with full, straight folds of a sheer
lace net to afford plenty of light
and complete privacy, and fasten
a billowing skirt of the sane lace
net around the shelf. The shelf
itself can be finished to match
the mirror, and the stool covered
with a fabric matching or har-
monizing with the general color
scheme.
Better Cure
For Hiccups
Hiccup cures such as scaring a
person, holding the breath and
counting ten, or drinking water
slowly are not very effective. The
following reliable method is sug-
gested: hold a paper bag over the
nose and mouth of the victim, so
that the sufferer can breathe in
and out of the container, In a
few minutes the hiccups are usu-
ally gone, because the inhaling of
collected carbon dioxide from the
bag stimulates respiratory nerve
centres to control the involuntary
spasms.
Beating The
Ration System
Linen and silk sheets are not
rationed in England, so the
women are buying these to mako
dresses, It is one way of beating
the coupons for clothes.
Another method is to order
kilts, A kilt for a tall man means
three and one-half yards of cloth.
People ordered plain kilts and got
the cloth. 'Then they took the
goods to a tailor and had a suit
made. The cloth for a kilt takes
eight coupons, but 26 coupons
are needed for a suit.
Stocking Crisis
Not Important
"Full-fashioned cotton hose that
are sheer, stylish and well -fitting"
says the office of Emergency
Management in the United Statos,
"are ready as substitutes for silk
or nylon stockings. The designs
range in variety and weight from
cobweb mesh for dress wear to
plain knits for everyday use. They
call for combed, gassed and mer-
cerized yarns spun of long staple
American cotton, Practically all
can be woven on the sane ma-
chines now manufacturing silk
and synthetic hose."
TOTS' CRISP
BUTTONED STYLE
By Anne Adams
This pert little dual -personality
style keeps up with the busy pace
of a small girl's life. For Pat-
tern 4708 by Anne Adams is de-
signed in two different versions.
One is in the peasant trend, with
a square neckline and ric-rac
edging. The other .version is more
tailored, with a trim collar. That
front buttoning lets mother dress
a restless youngster quickly and
it makes the frock easy to open
out for laundering. The skirt is
flaring; tine front waist -seams are
shaped in spirited points, Either
version may have its entire top,
with the exception of the button
panel, 'in gay contrast, A pair
of neat panties is included in this
"must have" style.
Pattern 4708 is available in
children's sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.'
Size 6, collarless dress, takes 214
yards 35 inch fabric; dress with
collar, 1% yards 35 inch fabric
and 1a yard contrast.

A Vindication
Of Gen. Wavell
General Wavell'ss Appoint-
ment in India a Promotion,
Says The St. Thomas Times -
Journal
British and Russian pressure on
Iran to investigate why so nlauy
German "tourists" and "business-
men" have taken a sudden fancy
to visit that country, and advising
Iran to get rid of the surplus is
closely linked with the job of
Commander -in -Chief in India which
was recently placed in the hands
of General Sir Archibald \Vaven.
The government of Iran must
surely know from recent history
that wherever there in an influx
of Germans they are up to no
good; they are not there as
friends.
There was a tendency to believe
HE "WOULD"
"At the crucial moment of this manoeuvre ... he says
'Pass the sugar!' "
that when General Wavell was
relleved of the North Africa com-
mand and sent to India after the
Germans took the job of recaptur-
ing Libya out of Italian hands, it
was an expression of displeasure
on the part of the British govern-
ment; an Indication that they felt
Ile had badly failed. That is far
from the case. In the first place,
General Wavell was unable to pro,
cee(1 to Tripoli because he was
ordered to detach 50,000 men to
help the Greeks, then many more
to fight the Battle of Crate. Sir
Archibald had, i !, fact, Qhowo
such ability that they put hint In
charge of one of the most vital
links in the Empire. Even at that
time, the British government had
strong grounds for believing that
Germany intended to attack Russia
and warned Stalin but. he would
not listen, If Russia were defeat-
ed, the way would be open for
Germany, operating from the north,
and for Japan operating from the
south through Thailand, to invade
India by meats of a nutcracker
movement, Part of Russia borders
India, but tine easier route to get
at India would be through Iran,
It is to pave the way by fifth o01-
ummism and other means that there
are so many German agents In
Iran today, That Is why Britain
and Russia have again brought
the subject up with the Iran au-
thorities. Defeat of Russia would
put Germany in position to force
herself on Iran, Afghanistan and
Turkey for "facilities" and to for
ment anti-British movements as
was done recently in Iraq. That is
what those agents are there tor.
This is another reason why Bri-
tain has a vital interest in helping
the Ressians against Germany,
Defeat of the Soviets would, un-
less the "scorched earth" policy
was 100 per cent successful, which
is too much to expect, give Ger-
many much-needed food. raw ma-
terials and Industrial resources,
besides putting her In position to
open an India front in concert
with Japan which is waiting to
see what will happen.
1t is to meet such a possibility
that the capable Wavell has been
sent to India, His command would
not only embrace India, but Bur-
ner and all Southern Asia from
the Bay of Bengal to t. -e Mediter-
ranean coast of Asia 1IIiior,
General \Vavell was pro -rooted;
not d0 -noted,
Fireuroof Clothing
For Tanker Crews
Crews of British tankers open
sting in danger areas are to bo
equipped with fireproof clothing
as a protection against burning
oil, the Ministry of War Transport
has announced.
The equipment consists at a
cape, hood and gauntlets all in
one piece, These are light In
weight, the Ministry said, and
"designed to be carried on the
person so as to he immediately
available to protect the faces and
hands of men launching boats."
Relief Rolls Drop
In Ontario Towns
The lowest figure for relief
payments since they were put on
an organized basis, was reached
in June when relief rolls in the
40 municipalities which make up
80 per cent of Ontario's total re-
lief burden were reduced to a
point where recipients represent-
ed only 1.8 per cent of the total
population of these centres.
The number on relief had been
reduced in the 40 towns by 70.4
per cent from June, 1940. Only
10 had 2 per cent or more on re-
lief. All of these, with the ex-
ception of Toronto, it was ex-
plained are municipalities of 9,-
000 or under.
U. S. Chickens
Doing Utmost
The hens of the United States
are going all out for England in a
big way,
With patriotic but pardonable
pride, government poultry experts
announced recently the feathered
flocks of fanners were breaking
production records for both eggs
and chicks,
Reporting that a "total of about
1,000,000,000 chickens" was being
raised this year, the Department
of Agriculture said this would ex-
ceed 'all past records," adding that
one of the causes of this product.
tion junip was the "demand for
more poultry and eggs to meet the
needs of actively employed people
and the populations of the battling
democracies."
Although enormous shipments of
eggs are going to Great Britain
under tine war -aid program, the de-
partment reported hens had met
production demands by establish-
ing egg laying records for July,
latest checkup period. This showed
a four per cent gain over egg pro-
duction a year ago, although the
average number of layers was up
1e s than one per cent,
Damage Hidden
From Travelers
Gestapo agents now n-ait at rail-
way stations for the arrival of neu-
trals in cities which have been
bombed by the R.A.F., according to
a neutral business mal who has
just left Germany,
The Gestapo agent accompanied
this visitor to his hotel when he
arrived in Hamburg, cross-ques•
Honed hien about the purpose of
his visit, and when he .ound that
the visitor intended to call on
various Hamburg firms told him
that he must not leave the hotel,
"What about my business calls`"
asked the visitor,
"Your clients will have to call on
you," he was told, And they did.
This elaborate method was adop-
ted to prevent the visitor seeing
any of the damage the R.A.F. had
done to Hamburg.
