A finished suit contains 99 pieces drab serge cloth and lin- ing--45 pieces in the tunic and 83 in the trousers. The suit weighs "from four to 42-3 pound: depend- «ing on the size.; .- All buttons are concealed to eli- +minate the chance that a gleaming .button might reveal the position of ~a soldier in action and besides, it ' :xloes away with the chore of but- ton-cleaning. 3 The uniforms are warm, but also _have "air-conditioning" for warmer * temperatures. Under the arms are #three little ventilators, each about 'the size of a large pea---but when the wind is raw they can be closed. At present, 35000 uniforms are "urned out in Canadian factories each week, but the department | "Quoted one manufactursr as saving "give us six weeks to tool up, and "Canadian industry could produce "'100,000 suits a week."

WHITBY ELECTION PLANS ARE WADE { aware of the problem SAYS BEVERAGE ROOMS GREATEST ORAL MENACE Confronting Youth To- day--Deplores Patronage by Women and Girls Whitby, Ontario, November 20.-- "The beverage room is the great est moral menace which confronts the youth of this province at the present time, The beverage room must go," declared Mr, F. G. Magee, B.A., young business man of Toron- to, in a slashing attack upon the liquor traffic, delivered from the pulpit of Whitby United Church last Sunday morning. Mr. Magee appeared on behalf of the Ontario Temperance Federation, of which Rev. C. W. DeMille, D.D., well-known in this locality as a popular former pastor of King St. United Church, Oshawa, was recent. ly appointed Secretarial head. The speaker said that approximately $225,000,000 had been spent last year on alcoholic beverages by the citi- zens of Canada, and that such ex- | penditure represented a wastage of human energy and money which a | nation at war could not afford to | continue. He told of the representa- | tions that had been made to Ot- | tawa by a special delegation from | the Canadian Temperance. Federa- tion which included representatives of the Roman Catholic Church as well as all the leading Protestant | denominations, asking that a meas- | ure of war-time prohibition be im- posed for the protection of our sol- | diers and the conservation of the energies and productive capacities | of the nation. The Government as- sured the delegation they were and would give their recommendations serious Will Elect Council for 2 consideration.

He submitted recommendations from the Council and Chief of Police of Bradford. The Council was divided on grant- ing the license, | widespread Councillors Mills, | Agg and Larkin voting in favor of | it. Councillor Mills took the view that it was a legitimate business and that the town should not try to build a wall around the town.

This view was favored by a majority of Council. PIG IS DEVOURED ANOTHER MAULED Picton, Nov. 21--W, A. Markland of Hallowell Township, near Picton, is keeping a close watch these nights for the marauder which de- voured a 50-pound pig and mauled a 300-pound pig. "The pigs have the run of a yard and sleep in a pen beneath a straw stack, and one morning when I went to feed 'them the sow was badly mauled," Mr. Marklard related. "The next morning one cf the young pigs was missing, the head and one hoof alone remaining. There was no trace of the bones or the re- mainder of the carcass." "It has: been sugested that a bear or wolf may havg wandered into Prince Edwarg County from the north," sald Mr. Markland. idnap Story Stirs Brooklin ictim Is Found at. Brougham (By Staff Correspondent) Brooklin, November 19--Brooklin izens were cisturbed on Monday t by the news of a kidnapping ed to have taken place near the rooklin continuation school. Jack Hooker, of Kinsale, accord- to reports, left the school at the hour for his home in Kinsale, when he did not arrive home at e time his parents expected him ighbors were communicated with, en it was reported that the. boy had been picked up by two driving a truck, Police' were notified at'once and the parents spent a few anxious hours until the missing son himself called them on the telephone from Brougham, stating that he was in that village, According to the story told by the boy the men in the truck car- ried him on past his home, and had let him out at a place some distance from « telephone. He found his "way back to Brougham where Mr. Hooker picked him up. | | they are continuing to do. For one | fine temperance gesture . at least, | to be commended--it of the Temperance Federation in respect to the camps of the trainees, with the result that there are no wet canteens confronting the boys call- ed up for training in this branch of the Canadian Army. In discussing the beverage rooms, is | patronage accorded these places by women and girls. He said that he had spent three months in a West- ern Ontario town just after the bev- erage rooms were inaugurated and did not recall seeing a single woman enter the beverage room. But on a doors long before closing time be- cause his ladies' beverage room was full and had overflowed to fill the dining room, and the women being harder to get cut than the men, he | had to bar entrance at an early hour | in order to keep the law. "How are we to cope with the demoralization consequent upon the increase in drinking, particularly among the women of the province?" asked the speaker. There is only one way, he declared. "The traffic must be curbed. The beverage room must go." The steps | to that goal, he affirmed are to con- tinue pressure upon the government, | particularly upon the Dominion gov= ernment which is less blinded by liquor revenue than the provincial | government, to fight. vigorous local | option campaigns in suitable muni. | cipalities (out of 15 Local Option | campaigns last year the Dry forces | won 12), and the support of the or- ganization which has been entrusted i | with the leadership of the Temper- | view. that the town was well served | sce cause -- namely the Ontario | with one billiard parlor, and that | Temperance Federation. The liquor traffic is able to set | aside: $6,000,000 a year to defend its privileges and extend its trade. The O.T.F. has never had an income quite reaching $40,000 a year. The task of this little David against the modern Goliath may look hopeless in the light of relative resources, and it would be hopeless were it not that right is stronger than wrong and the inherent decency and moral conviction of the Canadian people instinctively ranged on #he side of sobriety.

BREED APARTMENT SITE TURKEYS Weigh About Eight Pounds -- Known as Nittany Turkeys State College, Pa., Nov. 21--(AP) | ~The thanksgiving turkey of the | future, a bird bred to suit small | family pocketbooks, has been de- veloped by the Pennsylvania State College Department of Poultry Hus- bandry. This new breed is small, under 12 pounds, its growth limited by here- | dity. It ic a cross between wild tur- | | keys and domestic. It is named the Nittany Turkey Mountain | in honor. of Nittany which overlooks State College. This experiment in heredity took | first in S'ate College | nine years, laboratories and then on Pennsyl- i vania farms, until the poultry seien- | true- tists were sure they had a | | breeding, marketable bird that ap | pealed to diners. Three years after the state col- lege exneriment started, the United States Department of Agriculture took up the work as a national need, due to the smaller size of American families and the wish of housewives for smaller and smaller birds. At that time, the average for small birds was 12 to 15 vounds. The 'Nittany birds run down to eight pounds, The big birds that run up | to 40 pounds are 90 per cent of the present United States turkey crop and are suited particularly to ho- tels. - TIME TABLE - CHANGES Effective Sunday, December 1, 1940 Fullinformation from Agents Canadian ti PHONE 58 'blue coal THE COLOUR 1s your POSITIVE GUARANTEE LANDER COAL CO. at LISTEN to "THE SHADOW" . . .
