Work Clothing When Canadian shoppers buy work clothing such as overalls, smocks, leather work gloves and windbreakers they will find the garments labelled to show the indentification of the manufacturer. This is a recent ruling of the W.P.T.B. Probably because of wartime disturbances, little attention appears to be paid to the fact that this is leap year, with the privileges it brings single ladies. WASTE PAPER SHORTAGE IS CRITICAL The Wartime Prices and Trade Board Administrators concerned with paperboard, packages and other paper products are alarmed at the critical waste paper inventory stock position of the mills. The Administrators concerned have informed this Division in unequivocal terms that at present, and for the next six months at least, there is a definite waste paper shortage. Indeed the shortage is much more acute that at any time since the war began. The paper situation is critical. Waste Paper, especially brown paper, containers and corrugated paper are now more urgently required because of the great scarcity of virgin pulp wood, and because of the greatly increased need of paper containers for the packaging and shipment of food and munitions supplies to our Armed Forces, overseas and at home, and also to Britain and our Allies. Shipments of all kinds of waste paper to the mills must be increased. We cannot at this critical time allow any mill to close down due to lack of the necessary waste paper. The production, in increasing quantities, of containers for shells, medical kits, emergency rations, Blood Plasma, grenades, gas masks, Air Force emergency packs, bomb fins and rings, and for hundreds of other Naval, Army and Air Force uses, makes this urgent appeal necessary. To keep Canada's supply lines intact to our Armed Forces and Allies requires an endless stream of paper containers. These millions of contain* ers sent overseas cannot be returned for re-use. This is an important contributing factor to the paper short age in Canada. There is a definite guarantee that every carload of waste paper, Baled or Securely Bundled, for which no market is available through regular channels, will be cleared through a Government Company. There is an abundance of needed waste paper in the home, in the store and in the factory. Now is the time to get it moving to the mills through your local Voluntary Salvage Committee or through any known commercial or trade channel. Don't forget to salvage all Christmas cartons, paper containers and brown wrapping paper. PRECIOUS I could not face the stormy winds of winter, Nor could I stand the chilly days of spring; I could not eat if I should ever lose you, I would not live to hear the robins sing. Stay close to me and never, never Be with me as I sally forth to look For bargains in fine food, toothsome dainties, My much beloved, my precious ration book. (From the Dunnville Chronicle Jan. 7) Humane Society reports that more homes are found for lost dogs than for cats. But what boy wants a cat for a pet?

Sends Scrap to War in Marine Engine Grinder Discards, which had done a big war job already before they were considered ready for the scrap heap, were resurrected by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company at its Angus Shops in Montreal to make the improved grinder, pictured above, for grinding the radial contour of motion links for main marine engines, one of the war contracts on which the C.P.R. is engaged. At the big shops, which are under the direction of H. B. Bowen, chief of motive power and rolling stock, and where H. R. Naylor is works manager, it was John A. Hope, shops engineer, who conceived the idea for the machine which has eliminated many hours of labor required to draw file and scrape the radial surfaces. The motion links must be finished to meet the high standards and close tolerances demanded by the Royal Canadian Navy for engines in its escort service. The entire machine was made of discarded material, as shown in the labels on the different parts in this picture. The main base was a discarded iron casting originally made at Angus Shops for an erection jig for the more than 1,400 Valentine tanks which were built there for service in Russia on an earlier C.P.R. war contract. Other of the discards include the connecting rod of a locomotive, back in service now as the radial arm of the grinder after once earning retirement with a record of many thousand ton miles of freight to its credit. So it went through the entire list of materials put back to work in this important war job with an old style motor, a discarded grinder frame and even balance weights from a furnace door being utilized in the machine which saves precious hours in the production of marine engine power for the hulls being fabricated in Canadian shipyards.
