Seated ; behind a desk bearing two teldphones, he reecives; his principal private cretary, Sir Alexander Hardinge, amd his two aosistant prifdte secretivies, Ske Eric Micyilld and Sir Alan Las celles After this conference, he is likely to turn to some of the mass of ofiteial documentary business re- qiiring his attention. AH Cabinet documents go to him, and parlia- mentary papérs also ae studied, Reads Newspapers ) This done, he ph 5 into the reports from commanders in all thestres of war, which ave sent to him as soo as they are received. Further, he supplements this of. ficial veading with careful examl- nation of many daily newspapers, petting aside time for this each day in the belief that only by read- ing as much as possible can he Yeep, abreast of current affairs in every aspect of his people's life. At least once a week he sees the Prime Minister and other Cabinet members. Like his father, he doesn't hesitate to make his per- sonal addition to his lst of call- ers, and many of his visitors are men whose names are not on the court circular, $ Those who have audiences with tha King sometimes stay to lunch with him, which may mean that lio has no opportunity to eat that' meal with the Queen or to sge his children at that time. Often Lis days are so full of officlal tasks that he barely i3 able to find the few minutes necessary to take a short, brisk walk which "he sets as a daily health "must" for himself. Similarly, his royal duties often keep him from attend- ing to his personal correspondence until evening. Relaxes At Week-Ends Only on week-ends does hie have opportunity to elax with his ftam- ily or to engage in the sports which he loves. He has given up tennis and golf for the time being ~--he was passably good at both but he still rides and shoots as much "as he can. Despite his strenuous job, he Is fit and doesn't look his 47 years. A close friend recently said of him: _ "The. cares and responsibilities "of war have matured him, not stralned him. The qualities which made his brother so often turn to him for advice have developed." HOUSE LEADER Gordon Graydon who has been hosen leader for the Progressives onservative party in the House 4 Commons, succeeding Hon, Mr. anson, Navy Pensions 15-Year-Old Boy A boy of fifteen has beén-pen- pioned out of the Royal Navy.' he story was unfolded when he applied for a job as messenger and explained that he had joined the Royal Navy and had been fipensioned off." "Pensioned off at fifteen!" -was the incredulous reply. ' It transpired that he had been @ sea cadet, and, being already trained, had, despite his age, crept fnto the Navy as a gunner. On active service he got a bit of shrapnel in his side. It had healed "up nicely, but the doctors: feared that, under the stress of heavy physical work, the wound would weopen and he might have a bad time of it. So he was invalided put He liked the prospects of the bb offered to him, but made ne stipulation. He must have little time off each week.

PRINGLE T= vital part which the Canadian Nate ional system is playing in Can. ada's war effort 1s graphically. shown na re. view of the branch 'of the railway's activis tieswhich comes under the direct supervision of Norman B. Wal- * N tou, whose pro- motion to the position of executive vice-president wasrecently announced by President R. C. Vaughan, Mr. Walton, vice-president of operation, maintenance and construction prior to thisappointmeat, will continue to exercise jurisdiction over this depart- ment, and perform such other duties as the president may delegate to him. Under the direction of 9 Walton are the forces concerned with the op- eration of trains, the maintenance of track and structures, and the com- any's motive power and car shops. le also has charge of the company's shipbuilding operations. During the year 1942, this force moved more than 72,000,000 tons of munitions of war and other products of industry, agriculture and natural resources. More than 2,500 locomo- tives and some 80,000 freight cars were in continuous service to handle this traffic, If all C.N.R. freight and passenger equipment, locomotives and work cars, could be set out on a "single line of track, buffer to buffer, they would reach from Toronto to Minaki, almost 1,100 miles. Two other important staff appoint- ments resulting from the tcemendous _increase in wartime traffic were also announced, that of J. F. Pringle to be" general manager of the Atlantic Region, and J. P. Johnson to succeed NORMAN B. J. P. JOHNSON ~ him as chief of transportation for the System. "The latter was form- erly general su- perintendent of the Southern Ontario district. Mr, Pringle will relieve W. U. Ap- pleton, vice-presi- dent of the region WALTON of much of the direct work con- : nected with the extensive traffic over the railway's eastern lines. Mr. Appleton formerly carried on the duties both of vice- president and general manager. Mr. Walton, a native of Palmer- ston, Ont., has had 42 years' experi- ence in railroading. He advanced from his first job as clerk and stenographer through the despatcher's office to many * supervisory positions which provided him with a wide knowledge of operating and traflic conditions. He has held important posts at Winnipeg, Edmonton, Prince Rupert and other points in western Canada. Mr. Pringle began his service with the Canadian National Railways in 1919 as an assistant engineer at Mont- real. After filling important positions in that city and in Ontario he was appointed chief of transportation for the System in 1941, Mr. Johnson, commencing as a tele- grapher with the Grand Trunk in 1905, has had a railway career which gained him an intimate knowledge of the National System in Ontario and throughout the west where he occu- Pid important supervisory. positions or. 17 years before his appointment to North Bay in 1936, and to To- ronto five years later. Have You Heard? The chief constable of a small town was also an expert veterin- ary surgeon. One night the tele- phone rang. The chief constable's wife answered, an agitated voice. "Do ypu' want my husband in his capucity as veterinary surgeon or as chief constable?" "Both, mada," came the reply. "We can't get our bulldog to open his mouth, and there's a burglar in it." Magistrate: "You cannot drive now for two years, for you're a danger to pedes- trians." Defendant: "But your honor, my living depends on it." Magistrater "So does theirs." - The spread of cinema-acquired American slang among schoolboys is illustrated by this "howler." In the pre-Christmas examination a class of evacuated Cockney boys at a school in the West, was asked what was understood by tha ex- pression "the heel of Italy." One hoy wrote: "Mussolini la the heel of Italy." "What. are you turning around for John?" "I've just discovered we've come five hundred and ten miles since morning; we'll -have to run back to the five- hundred - mile mark. and change the oil." At an afternoon tea an overy plump matron was partaking gen. crously of the tiny round sugared cakes. . "Aren't you afraid to eat mo many of them?" inquired a friend. "Not at all," replied the other. "They aren't fattening. They're just the 'holes' out-of dough- nuts." He: "ls she progressive or conservative?" * iF She: "lI don't know. She wears last year's hat, drives this year's car, and lives on next year's income." An Edinburgh woman walked fnto a war savings pavilion and laid her hoard on the table with a decisive firmness. "I've been saving this up to di. vorce my husband," she said, "but I've made up my mind now to deal with Hitler first." Cavalry Recruit: "I don't like the look of the horse's head, sir." Sergeant: "Oh, don't worry, You'll soon get over that!" < "Is that Mr. Jenkins?" asked 'HOW CAN??? Q. How can 1 remove a bit of _ egg yolk that has accidentally gotten into the white when separ- ating the two? ~ A. Use a small pieco of wet cloth to remove the yolk; it will cling readily to the cloth, Q. How can I keep the window boxes looking attractive during the winter months? A, Instead of allowing the window boxes to remain empty all winter, they can be made to look attractive with cedar or pine branches, adding 'a few sprigs of bittersweet to brighten them. Q. How can I iron slips so that §. they will not stretch? A. Remember to iron slips crosswise instead of up and down. This tends to prevent. the slip from showing below the skirtline. Q.

Fighter Planes Roared Overhead W hen President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill "and their staffs were conferring in a villa at Casablanca)' fighter planes kept roaring overhead, says the Windsor Star. Those "planes would be there to fight off any enemy bombers or fighters that might have learned of the secret mecting and tried to shoot up the conference. There was always the possibility some- one had tipped off the enemy. Had he known, he would have tried hard to get both Mr, Roose. velt and Mr, Churchill. Hitler would willingly have sacrificed many fighters and bombers to do that. y _ The fighter guard overhead was something new in the way of sen. tinels that has been added by the trend of modern war, } Brazil is surpassed in size by only three countries: the U.S.S.R,, China and Canada.

The process of sending newspapers by radio does not differ greatly from the wire photo method except that the inipulses are sent by' radio waves rater than as pulsations in current in an clectiic circuit, he process, called radio fac- simile, involves (at the transmis. sion end) the changing of the varying tones of white, gray, and black into corresponding radio sig- nals; broadcasting these signals; and (at the receiving end) chang- ing the signals back into a fae- simile or reproduction of the original pictures, printing, ete. . . . In one type of radio facsimile receiver, a stylus is driven back and forth across a continuous roll of special dry-electrolytic paper. This paper is affected by electric current, turning dark in propor- tion to the .amount of current passed through it. A current, whose variations correspond to the variations in light and shade of the original copy, is sent through the moving stylus and in this manner the light and shade of the pictures and printed matter of a news- -paper may be reproduced by radio. It should be pointed out that radio facsimile newspapers are ac- tual reproductions of news pages, complets with headlines, captions, illustrations and all, . . Radio facsimile has various practical uses. Weather maps, prepared by shore meteorologists, may be radioed to ships at sea; fingerprints and other data may be flashed through space between distant police departments; and it is possible for a bank cheque, signed in London, to be radioed across the Atlantic and be hon- ored, as reproduced by radio fae- simile, in Now York. As a newspaper, a radio fac- simile set in the home could be tuned. in (perhaps automatically) when music and speech broadcasts leave the air at.night, and the .radio would print your morning paper for you while you sleep. --W. P. in the Christian Sel- _encs Monitor. Bells Protect Sheep From Killer Dogs Heavy claims in Elderslie Township for sheep killed and in. jured by dogs lend particular in. terest to an Ontario farmer's as sertion that he never had any trouble with dogs bothering his sheep, says The Chesley Enter- prise. He put an open bell around the neck of every fourth or fifth sheep (the kind of hells farmers used to wear on their horses) and he found that these bells scared dogs, as they do not like them; they gave the farmer In. dication if his sheep were attack- ed; and the bells tend to keep the sheep together. .
