a." Railways et War Pro..ems C. P. R. President Says Rall. ways Mainstay of "Front Line Defense" "The end of another year of war finds the railways of Canada _ faced with greater demands upon ever "they have experienced," sald D. C. Coleman, President of Cane adian Pacific Railway. months have been fraught with serious difficulties of operation and direction such as were bound to follow -upon unprecedented traf- fic volume together with marked shortages of material and labor, "Those difficulties have been met and overcome, and 1 believe ft to be a matter of common knowledge that the contribution of "the railway industry to the national war effort has been the greatest single factor among those which have enabled Canada's war timo production to achieve the re- markably high standards and volume that has been recorded." Contribution To War In addition to the great volume of war traffic imposed on domes: tic business, the railways have been called upon to take up other activities foreign to their oper- ations, Mr. Coleman pointed oat, He outlined the contributions to the war effort of Britain and Can- ada of Canadian Pacific Railway shops, ships and personnel. One of the many lessons which the war had driven home was that, while railways were a fundament- al necessity In times ol peace, dn times of national danger they were the mainstay of the "front line defence," Mr. Coleman as- - gerted, «Ho said the Nazis had discover: « ed the truth of this. Hitler had k gambled on super highways and motorized transportation a n d starved the railroads: Now he had been forced to give construction =. and repair of locomotives and rolling stock! priorities rating as fhigh as tas, airplanes and U- boats, © Mr... Coleman, connmenting on ' "operating costs, remarked: "However successful control ot wages and pricgs may have proved in other fields it remains a fact that the railways are faced with steadily-rising expenditures on op- eration, a luge contribution to which is made by increase in tax. ation. Suvi conditions -are under- standable under wartime condi- tions, hit there is a point beyond which one may, not safely dis. rezard a proper balatce hetween operating costs and net revenue." Post-War Problems It was not too soon to give " "earnest thought to the question oi of post-war immigration from Eur. on ope," he suggested, a Mr. Coleman said that it was Wd possible that greatly-changed cons- A ditions of living and working in hi Europe would turn the thoughts it of some of its more desirable peo- ol ple towards Canada as a place i! in "which to re-establish their: ie homes, factories and Wasjuesses, i MFor the good of thé country it ix is to be hoped that there will be as no raising of barriers to prevent their entry," Mr, Coleman remark ed. Canada promised to take an even more Important place in the post-war word than in the past, Mr. Coleman asserted. The war had brought great industrial ex. pansion. Canada's facilities for production had been increased tremendously and the country wide search for the needed com- modities of war had resulted in the discovery of hitherto unknown natural resources, These would not be lost sight of "in peacetime. = PR Wy QLD 3 tended, along with new uses for those already known and the de- velopment of new and 04 Cul sources of electric power, should, under wise direction, obviate all possibility of anything like wide- spread unemployment - well over the period of readjustment. 1 { Rad Se Lm AA No a es T RN NE AER It's Cold In Those. Scottish Offices To keep warm while observing the strict rule that no heating should .be used, to conserve fuel, in the public offices of Edinburgh, the employces wore heavy over coats, In the Office of Works the em« ployees, particularly the older ones, ore blankets over their knees. When the sick list at St. Andrew's House rose above the Leesaverage for that time of year the heat was turned on again. "We now maintain the tempera- ture at 66 degrees," an official "stated.

By Anne Ashley Q. How can I prevent the ane noyance of moisture forming on eyeglasses when going from a cold into a warm atmosphere? A. By moistening the tips of the fingers and rubbing them over a cake of soap. Then rub them over the lens, and polish as usual. Only one application every day or two is necessary. Q. How can I make use of half- emptied jars of different kinds of jelly when there is not enough of any particular one to serve? A. Try combining two that seem to go together and serving as one dish. The result is often very pleasing. Q. How can 1 prevent cracks fn the enamel of a stove? A, Never try to wipe off the enameled range with a wet cloth while it is still hot. The fine enamel surface may become marred by unsightly cracks; . How can 1 make novelty candle-holders to be used at a children's party? A, By polishing and hollowing out some rosy-cheeked apples to receive the ends of the candles. These are especially effective where a color scheme of red and white is being followed. Q. How can I chop candied fruits quickly? A. It will be much easier to chop candied fruits if the fruit peels are heated in the oven be- fore chopping. Hun Using New Type of Bombs German Stuka planes were re- ported recently to have used new- type bombs -- described by one British officer as "silver balls that crackle and scem to explode in the air"--in an attack on a British column in the El Ageila area in Libya. The Ministry -of Information quoted a British tank officer as saying that every can of gasoline on a truck was riddled with shrap- nel after one of these bombs ex- ploded, but the cans did not catch fire. + terial used is in the tubu Latest Autos Out of Date New Motor Cars Lighter, Stronger, To Be Safer Due to the discoveries of new materialg, authorities claim that even the existing late model auto- mobiles are completely out of date. It is expected that when new auto- mobiles are placed in the hands of the waiting public they will be lighter, stronger, safer, more com- + fortable, apd more economical. They .are expected 'to have seal- ed. cooling systems, new shatter- proof, fog-proof, and frost-proof Lucite or Plexiglas windshiélds. Power output will be increased with smaller motors sparked with high-octane fuels having a 150 rat- fng that may yield as much as 60 miles to the gallon.

It climaxes a dozen years of research based on Henry Ford's long-standing belief that some day he would "grow automobiles from: the soil." A from The aircraft Industry rapidly is adopting plastics. Henry Kaiser is reported to be using them in his huge trial transport planes. Suc- cessful test flights have been held for a new type of six-place plane designed for training = bomber cews, the U. S.

Sh eh Old Orchards May Pass Into Discard Pruning and Spraying Ne- glected Says Guelph Mercury A recent survey of the orchards of Ontario shows that the trees so carefully - planted and tended by our forefathers will soon be things of the past, owing to neglect on thé part of the sons of the fathers who propagated them, On the farms in many sections of Ontario no'new plantings have been made, the old trees were .glven no care, Pruning - and spraying were ne- glected, The quality of the apples deterlorated and the rows of once stately trees, with branches laden to the breaking point with lus. clous fruit of such old favorites as the Northern Spy, the Snow, the Greening, Tolman Sweet and Rus- set will soon, in many nelghbor- hoods, be but a memory, In pioneer days, and in the years that followed early settlement fn Ontario, every farmer depended upon his own orchard for his win. ter supply of apples, the_ surplus, it there happened to be aiy, golng to the store in trade, .or to the community market for cash, Today apple production has be- come highly specialized, carrled on, not as a sideline, but as a main business in the.frult sections of British Columbia, and in certain favored parts of Ontarlo and the Maritimes. . ro. Nowadays sentiment does not enter into the fruit-growing bus- iness to any noticeable extent, and it is to be expected that iI the agticulturist engaged in diversi fied farming cannot make orchard- ing a commercial success, the old farm orchard will have to pass into the discard. Japan Feels Strain Of Building' Ships Shipping is one of the most vul- nerable points in armor. The. Japanese have con. quered vast raw material resources but no industrial regions. They must ship the conquered materlals to their industrial centres in the home islands and ship the finished ¥-oducts back to- thelr fighting forces, and both operations must be carried out over vast distances + which expose the transports to sub- maine attacks. How effective these submarine attacks are was revealed by Navy Secretary Knox; between 1,000,000 and 1,600,000 tons out of a total of 6,000,000 tons available to Japan on the outbreak of the war have been sent to the bottom. ~"Yapan is straining all her resources to build ships, but her shipbuilding facilities are limited, and it may be doubted whether the losses are be- ing replaced. "Japan," said an army statement, "has no surplus of ves- sels, for Japan must maintaln trans. portation within the Greater Kast Asia sphere, while she must con- tinue her gigantic operations, con. tinuously fighting out decisive battle after another." -» The land route from Dakar to the Mediterranean is nearly 3,000 miles in length. ---r the Japanese. fave You Heard?
