HMe admitted they hadn‘t enough warm clothing and subâ€" mitted a requisition. The order was, of course, promptly filled. Then the battleship went on to another Canaâ€" dian port where other Red Cross offiâ€" clals asked if he needed anything for his men.

Mr. DeGoyler said that the Near East, apparent goal of the Axis, represents one of the greatest potential oil areas of the world. In no other region has such a limited amount of prospecting yielded such magnificent results, he said. "You hammer naills like lightning." "You mean .I‘m fast?" ‘"Naw!

The American petroleum industry this year may be faced with a maxiâ€" mum increase in average demand of 20 per cent, and Mr. DeGoyler conâ€" tends that the industry is able to meet this demand with ease. What futurs requirements may be is less definite but it is possible that deimand may increase in an upward spiral, he stat>d, adding that it is not difficult to see future annual requirements at the rate of 200,000,000 barrels of aviation fuel alone. The «United States oil industry will be able to meet her own military reâ€" quirements plus those of the Rritish Empire and her allies without jeopardâ€" izing American industrial and civilian needs or putting any undue load on the American oil industry.

From coast to coast, Canaâ€" dians in an astonishing variety Oof ocâ€" cupations are giving their time and effort to make successful the vast drive to conserve essential materials necessary for war industry. "The speed with which our organiâ€" zation has been set up, and the intenâ€" sity with which it is attacking waste on the Canadian home front,". says William Knightley, campaign superâ€" visor, ‘"is one of the amazing things of this war.

Over 4G0 years ago, when the German city of Frankâ€" furt was threatened with attack, the civic authorities ordered all upper winâ€" dows to be darkened to hide the city from the enemy. "What the citizens in arms in emâ€" battled Rritain have done," concluded Mr. Knightley, "surely we iCanadians can do. We have the organization. We have the opportuniity. All we need now is the vision and the willingness to stick to it. I am sure we have those things, too!" A Mexican and a Canadian got into the habit of having lunch together while working in a Northern Ontario mine. The Mexican always brought a large thermos bottle containing hot rabbit stew and the Canadian made a habit of sharing it with him.

Movie houses are holding children‘s matinees, in which the price of admisâ€" sion is a bundle of rags or a discarded aluminum pot or pan, and are later donating the materials thus collected to the nearest salvage group.
