ARMY FILM SHOWS CANADIANS IN ACTION The rubble-filled streets of Caen or the sandy> water-filled foxholei of Holland were all in a day's work to advancing Canadian infan- trymen, and are all shown in the army film "The True Glory" which presents the story of the European war from D-Day to VE-Day. They presented different problems but the Canucks tackled them cheerfully, intent only upon the destruction of the German enemy. Left, above, a Canadian patrol picks its way care- fully through the ruins of Caen^searching out German snipers. At right, a Canadian section armed with Piat and mortar waits the signal to attack across the Dutch border into Germany. EUROPE'S HUNGRY CHILDREN Nearly a billioi'. people â€" 90 mil- lion in Kiiropc and ten times that number in CliiiKi, India, and other places in the world â€" face starva- tion this winter. Tliat if the grim reality reported by food experts of tlie United Na- tions Relief and Reliabilitation Administration. This picture, reported bj' spokes- men for Greece, is typical of the grave world food situation: The Pappas family lives in a fairly large city near .Kthcns. Mrs. Pappas has a teen-aged son and daughter. Her husband is a day- laborer. Marketing is her day's big gest chore. It varies a little. Some days Mrs. Pappas gets more, but usually she can buy about half a pound of bread for each mouth a day. Most of the time she can get three ounces of dried peas or beans for each person, maybe one codfish for all to share, a tiny Wt of olive oil and a handful of raisins. She can usually get potatoes too. They are rationed. UNRRA Helps It's a celebration when she gets a can of Army meat stew. This happens about once a month after a shipment from UNRR-^ has ar- rived at the market. Mrs. Pappas is too tired to worry about the strange things that are happening in her family. She doesn't understand that the diet of about 1400 calories a day for each member is responsible. It's the reason her husband only goes to work about three times a week in spite of her scolding. It's the reason her son isn't growing and only sits stupidly in the sun all day. It's the reason her daughter re- fuses to help clean up their tiny little hovel and has a chronic, hack- ing cough. It's the ' reason her •OOPS, SORRY!' SAYS HERMANN Even in the shadow of a possible death sentence, the fallen No. S man of N. 7i Germany remains an irrepressible clown while on trial at Nuernberg. In top photo, he laughingly explains a point to grim-faced Rudolf Hess as they sit in defendants' box. But (bot- tom photo) Hess almost smiled and Von Ribbenlrop looked over with amusement when, on the same day, Goering clapped his hajid over his mouth in an "Oops, sorry" gesture after making a remark out of turn. ITALY â€" Emaciated woman holds underfed grandson whose mother died of a disease which took half the village. He will be lucky to last until spring. CHINA â€" Weak from hunger, these Chinese poke around in the ruins of a village looking for scraps of food. They fight to survive the winter. \ ROYAL BANK APPOINTMENTS Sydney O.

Half the population of one section of the city died last month. Food oupplies Vary Food supplies in Europe vary within and between countries. Greece and Italy are about av- erage. Poland, Yugoslavia, Aui- tria, Germany and Finland have less. .Austria is believed to be in tiic worst shape. People in France and Czechoslovakia get a little more tlian the Greeks. Norway's condition is not critical. TRUI.Y REMARKABLE is the "Radiant Roast" used in the manufacture of Maxwell House Coffee. It captures aW the flavor and goodness because it roasts every coffee bean evenly, all through ! IF MEMIlCOUif HANfOlbj DO THIS!

Most people who live on ianns get at least enough food to main- tain health. Persons in the small urban comtn unities are the most hungry. They don't produce food and can't draw from the stocks sent to the big cities. They haven't the money or goods to get food You Will EnJoT Slnj-lns At The St. Regis Hotel TOR0:ST0 Every Room wltk Balh, Shonrer and Telephone. # SIniclr, S2.!(0 ni> â€" Double. 93.ri0 up. 9 Good Fond, DIplnB and Dnnc- Inc Nightly.

Chinese mothers aren't worry- ing about getting enough rice. wheat or dried fish merely to stave off hunger. Their families have been hungry for the last 10 years. This year they are worrying abojit which ones in the family will bo dead by spring or if they will all be dead. .Same is true in India. Average diet in those two countries varies fr-.nn 2.000 to less than 1,000 calories per day. In most of Europe, parts of the Near East, and -.11 of the Far East and in Xorth .Africa, countries desperately need imports of food. Mo^t (.(.lUiUries ii.
