The non-poisonous berries, Shead explained, are rich in fat that could be used to make Japanese wax, large quantities of which were imported from Japan before the war at prices ranging to 25 cents a pound.

Made In Canada. the*war - week -- Commentary on .Current Events British Navy Has Almost Stopped Essential Imports Reaching Reich There is one long, hard task of the war that the British Navy has almost completed; it has practically stopped German imports of munitions from outside Europe, writes F. H. G., In The Vancouv--er Province. Relentlessly t h e Navy has tightened its grip about Germany's throat until one supply line after another has been stopped. It has been a long struggle, as it was in the last war, but in the last two years or so the Navy has had valuable aid from the Air Force. Now Spring is here again and no more Germah ships will try to reach Europe from the Far East. Blockade-running is over for this season; it may well be over for the war. In the Winter of 1940-41 Germany was able io import cargoes from French overseas territories via Unoccupied France--especially rubber from Saigon. The Royal Navy stopped that traffic. Mica and meat were imported from Madagascar. The Royal Navy stopped that traffic by sinking one Most. Serious Blow During 1941 and 1042> other routes through the blockade were stopped. German ships ceased to attempt to cross the South Atlantic from neutral South American ports. But the most serious blow to German supplies was the Allied occupation of French North Africa in the Autumn of 1942. That stopped all imports into Europe by small vessels sailing from Medi- By the end of 1942 Germany was left with only one country outside Europe from which to obtain the rubber, tin and edible oils she needed--Japan. But Japan needed other things: machine tools, ball-bearings, and especially mod- ALTARBOUND Mary Rogers, above, daughter of famed comedian, the late Will Rogers, will be married soon to Victor Courtrier, Jr., Hollywood Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. In whose name should a girl's wedding invitations and announcements be issued if she has no parents nor close relatives? 2. Should one be embarrassed if it is necessary to ask a person his name in order to introduce him? 3. Isn't it proper for one to add a postscript to a letter? 4. At~dinner, how and in which hand should a waitress hold the dish she is serving? 5. Is it all right to typewrite an invitation, acceptance of an invitation, or regrets? 6. Is it good manners to use Mr. or Miss when introducing members of one's family? ANSWERS 1. In this instance, the wedding would probably be too informal for her to need either invitations or announcements. If determined to send them, the only thing she could do would be to send them in her own name or have her fiance's family do so. 2. No'; be courteous and natural, without offering an apology. 3. It is all right but one should trp to avoid postscripts except when necessary. 4. The dish should be held on a folded napkin in the left band. Then, if necessary, the right hand can be used to steady the dish. 5. While it is being done, the typewriter should be used for business purposes only. 6. It would be better to avoid the titles if possible. "PopabOity" Later, shaking and letting stand a week. els and plans of weapons that had been tested in the European theatre. So the blockade-running had to be arranged on a system *.of exchange with Japan. That was begun, in the Winter of 1942-43. Of the ships that left the Far East for Europe, seven were sunk. Others w*ere damaged so they could not make the Voyage. During last Winter five ships left the Far East for Europe; four of them were sunk. Exchange System Broken Down No ships left Europe for Japan. Several were ready and loaded; badly damaged in port they ( uld n ; the iled for announced reason. The system of exchange has broken down. It may be that Germany did not wish, to risk the ships: it may be that Germany could no longer spare ballbearings and machine tools for Japan. Today, out of 30 vessels that during the last two years were engaged, in running the blockade between Japan and Europe, only 10 are left. Out of those 10 several are badly damaged, and nearly all of them are in European ports un-R.A.F.

Her attempt to import cargoes in unescorted merchantmen, rel3ring on speed and evasion, was a result of her lack of sea power. The fact that these supplies are coming to an end at the very time when Germany needs them most is a result of the steady growth of Allied sea power. jjPaint Is Preservative {protector, Beautifier Among Post-War planners, the Jifljjit of the paint manufacturers Wtk dealers of Canada backing the scheme, is unique.
