THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1940 -e BEAVERBROOK HAS IG ORGANIZATION UNDER Hi THUNB | (Continued from Page 1) prime minister, was pressed into ser- vice and Beverley Baxter, member of [the British parliament, joined the hive." ". Details of the Canadians' work re- main a secret but it has been sug- pe Mr. Baxter's function was 'of a super peptalker who stim- ated aircraft workers to greater effort. : "The term "aircraft production" is not. generally understood. The min- ry does more than supervise con- struction of the planes (airframes) and engines. It hands them over to R.AF. squadrons "in full flying con- dition for operational requirements." These include a set of delicate and complicated instruments, a battery of automatic guns and cannon guns, bs, shells and ammunition, bomb sights, radio sets, electric equipment, oxygen cylinders, parachutes, flares, signalling apparatus, rubber dinghy and many secret gadgets. 'The ministry orders the planes. 1 es and equipment, inspects r construction, makes its own contracts and pays the accounts of thousands of main contractors and sub-contractors. It supplies motor launches and speed boats for R.AF. units and balloons for the barrage command. _. It controls ihe British purchasing commissions in Canada and the United States and the British air mission in Washington. It also es transport for purchases in 'America and Australia. It took over from the air ministry the old air- craft inspection directorate and var- fous centres of scientific develop- ment. And, for good measure, it handles the gift-purchase fund, now fast ap- proaching tire £7,000,000 ($31,000,000) mark. Hardly a day passes but Lord Beaverbrook acknowledges donations for buying aircraft. Another important branch is the air transport auxiliary whose 3255 civil pilots, including 25 women, "ferry" 'hundreds of new planes every week from factories to RAF. maintenance units and from these units to squadrons based all over the country. There has been no hint of the number of workers involved. It is knqwn, however, that the present 'rate of aircraft production far ex- ceeds that in the peak period of 1918 when its administration, by the {ministry of munitions, kept a staff sof more than 17,000 busy day and night. 'FEET ARE PLANTED ON VICTORY PATH i (Continued from Page 1) 'not only has the manhood of th2 'whole British Commonwealth ral- Yed once more to the ald of the l Mother Country in her hour of need. { but the peoples of the Empire have seagerly thrown open the doors of 'their homes to our children so that they may be spared from the strain and danger of modern war. And in the United States also, where we find s0 many generous «and loyal friends and organizations #0 give us unstinted help, warm- Jearted people are keeping and car- "dng for many of our children till i#he war is over. But how many more children are l there here who have been moved 'from their homes to safer quarters? "All in the Front Line." To all of them, at home and abroad, who are separated from their fathers and mothers, .to i their kind friends and hosts, and i to all who love them, and to par- ents who will be lonely without i them; from all in our dear island, 1 : wish every happiness that Christ- mas can bring. May the New Year carry us toward victory and to hap- ; pler Christmas days when every one will be at home together in the years to come. To the older people here and throughout the world I would say: In the last Great War the flower of our youth was destroyed i and the rest of the people saw but little of the battle, This time . we are all in the front line and 'the danger together and I know that the older among us are proud that it should be so. "Remember this. If war brings its separations it brings new unity also, the unity which comes from 'écommon perils and common suffer- ings willingly shared, To be good comrades and geod neighbors is one of the finest opportunities of the efvilian population. And by facing hardship and discomfort cheerfully and resolutely not only do they do their own duty, but they play their part in helping the fighting services to win the war. Time and again during these last few months I have seen for my. self the battered towns and cities of England and I have seen the British people facing this ordeal. I can say to them all'that they may pe justly proud of their race and mation. On everyfside I have seen a 'new and' splegdid spirit of good 'fellowship sprifiging up in adver- Bity, a real defive to share burdens and resources : Harngeny Growing + Out of all § suffering there is growing must carry to come whe the end and come back to the world, we must hold fast to the spirit which binds us all together now. We shall need this spirit in each of our own lives as men and women and shall need it even more among the nations of the world. We must go on thinking less about ourselves and more for one another; for so, and so only, can we hope to make the world a better place and life a worthier thing. And now I wish you all a Happy Christmas and a happier New Year. We may look forward to the New Year with sober confidence. We have surmounted a grave crisis. We do not underrate the dangers and difficulties which con- front us still. But we take courage and comfort from the successes which our fighting men and their allies have won at neavy odds by land and air and sea. The future will be hard. But our feet are planted on the path ot victory, and with the help of God we shall make our way to justice and to peace. Greetings to Sailors In a special greeting to Britain's merchant sailors and fishermen, the King said: This second wartime Christmas finds the members of the British Merchant Navy and fishing fléets pursuing their calling through the seven seas, and I wish to send them a personal greeting. You were the first of our civil population to suffer the merciless attacks of the enemy. You have car- ried on undaunted, maintained the vital supplies of the Empire. Your courage and daring have been an inspiration to your fellow country- men, who are now facing the same brutal assaylt. In their name I thank you, and I send you all best wishes Christmas and a good landfall, AGT TO THPROVE HEALTH OF THOSE USING SHELTERS (Continued from Page 1) we got to work, and the shelters are being transformed. We are making elaborate provision for the preven- tion of disease. A million bunks are being installed so that everyone can lie down and cleep. There are can- teens with hot drinks ., . . ventila- tion is being improved, large sums are being spent on sanitary provi- sions. "The local medical officer of health carries out regular inspec- tions; an endeavor is being made te sterilize the atmosphere by disin- fectant sprays, and experiments are being conducted in the wearing of masks to avoid droplet or air-borne infections." As a result of these and other pre- cautionary measures being taken by the government, Mr. Macdonald was able to speak optimisitically of the coming winter and the health of the people whose resistance to disease he said "is not only greater than that of their own countrymen a gen- eration ago, but also superior to that of the German people today." "Let the bombs burst," said the minister. "Let the rains fall. Let che winds blow. We shall weather the storm. We shall survive the ordeal We shall still be grim and gay war: riors when the spring returns." thw ply CARS DAMAGED Samuel Cuthbert, 95 John street, south on Simcoe street north near the corner of Colborne street at 3:30 a.m. today an unidentified car which was driving north on the west side of Simcoe street forced him to swerve to the left side of the street striking a car parked in front of 137!

ARMY Available For All Important Co-ordination Work In War Time New York, Dec. 26 .(CP)--Ama- teur radio is prepared if necessary to step in and supply communica= tions for United States defence. Modern mechanized warfare places important emphasis on com- munications, = without which co= ordination is almost impossible in the air, at sea and among fighting land units. As a hobby Canadian and American radio amateurs have trained themselves during peace- time in the art of radio--something other governments have spent time and huge sums of money to do. Under the auspices of the Ameri. can Radio Relay League, member- ship of which includes most of the "hams" have been practising for better code proficiency in prepara- tion for emergency. The ARRL is running periodical code tests and teur can copy over the air. activities of the league are designed te facilitate final training of "hams" should national expediency require their services. The first Great War saw approxi- mately 4,000 amateurs step in and "cover" communications for United States armed forces. At the plea of the government, amateurs manned most radio posts, taught recruits and helped build mecessary equip- ment. After the war they had a tough time getting permission to operate again. The efforts of the ARRL were successful and through their reinstated hobby much progress re- culted, notably development of short wave and ultra-high fre- quency communitation. These achievements plus well-known work in storms, floods and other emer- gencies, gained them respect and high praise. American "hams" have been fing- erprinted and photographed and have answered government ques- tionnaires. This was done princip- ally to give the federal communica- tions commission information on the nation's potentialities, combat "fifth column" activities Police, airways and commercial operators also were included in this survey. Many amateurs have taken part for more than 10 years in voluntary training for army and naval pro- cedure, participating in drills with the naval communication reserve and army networks. GERMANY SENDING 600,000 SOLDIERS INTO RUMANIK (Continued frem Page 1) in an anncuncement bv the Hun- garian railway administration that passenger train service would be "specially restricted" to clear the way for passage of 1,160 troop trains--at the rate of 30 to 40 daily --between now and Jan. 31. This disclosure followed closely news that Russian, German, Italian and Rumanian exverts who had conferring for nearly two months in Bucharest fin2lly had separated after failing to decide which nation or group of nations should control the strateaically- important outlets of th Danube river--the Rei~h's supply linegto the East. HH Officially, it was claimed the mestings would be resumed at the end of January, but informed sources s2id there was a wide breach between the axis delegates on the one hand and the Russian representatives on the other, with the Russians firmly insisting on So- viet control of the Danube outlets Reports from Bucharest quoted Soviet diplomats as saying openly that the Red armv was preparing to occuny the mouthe of the Dan- ube and the Rumanian province of Moldavia as far west as the Siretul River after the first of the year The Rumanian police sought to stem an exodus of Moldavian resi- dents by denying what they called these "alarmist rumors." Diplomatic sources speculates that the new German troop move- ments might be connected closely with the Danube dispute--perhaps designed to reinforce 'the Nazi posi- tion by a show of strength. The same sources, however, also saw the possibility of action against Turkey in a German drive to the east, or that the Nazis were con- templatihg aid to the hard-pressed Italians by attacking Greece through Bulgaria: The theory that the Nazi troon movements concerned = Russia was given some color by renorts of travellers from Germany, who' sald rail traffic in the eastern part of the Reich was being disrupted by the passage of troop trains toward the Soviet frontier and into Slo- vakia, Rumors that the Russians wera planning to seize the Danube out- lets by force circulated as diplomat ic reports spoke of recent protests by Moscow concerning "the general unfriendly Rumanian attitude" Observers recalled that similar protests to Bucharest preceded the Ruslan repossession of the Ruman- fan provinces of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina by ultimatum last summer.

London, Dec. 26 (CP)--Christmas brought a temporary truce to the bitter air war between Britain and Germany, a quietness: which had not been broken early today, but the population was ready to absorb new blows which the King said in his Christmas broadcast to the Empire "will be hard".
