New Military License Plates = For Ontario Department of National Defence vehicles were this week equipped with 'distinctive new license plates designed for military use only, fit was noted in Ottawa today. The plates replaced civilian markers is- sued to the Department in 19043 and which have been in use ever since. The plates are brown with white figures and bear the word "Ontar- io" between two crowns, Undated they will train with the same vehicle from the day of issue until such time as the vehicle is trans- ferred to another province.

Rev. D. A. Gregory, 52-year-old Baptist minister from Harlingen, 'Texas, is anxious to ride along the highway on his three-wheel scooter. A California coupe, each 64 years old, has asked about the possibility of motoring via the 1,523-mile road to see their son in Alaska. Horseman Byron, who wants to homestead in Alaska, may be allow- ed a permit providing he can com- ply with regulations governing United States during the war as a supply route to Alaska, But Mr. Gregory has been refus- ed permission to make the trip. He said he wanted to make the Alaska trip "just for something to do." No tourists are allowed because of the limited accommodation along the highway which runs through sparsely-settled frontier mountain and bush country to Fairbanks, "Byron could manage it on horse- back," said one official familiar with conditions. The Chicago man, eligible to tra- vel over the road because he has traffic over the road, built by the | pal Alaska Highway Travel Means Difficulties Galore "actual business"--homesteading as his objective, must show some proof of his ability to make such a trip before a permit would be issued, Civilian traffic now over the road at an average ily rate of seven vehicles and 18 persons. In 22 days only two. vehicles returned to Edmonton after starting out on the 2,000-mile jaunt to Alaska. Each applicant must make a per- sonal appearance at Edmonton be- fore a constable of the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police who has au- thority to issue a permit. Each must be able to supply his own transpor- tation, gas, 'oil and spare parts, and to undertake necessary vehicle re- irs. All civillans are going over the road go far have been persons go- ing to Alaska, either to employment, to a homestead, or returning by au- tomobile to their homes after an ccean trip to the United States. There hasn't been one person start out with the idea of settliri} anywhere along the 1,221-mile Can- adian section. Burgs Castle, Suffolk, England-- (CP)--A bronze plaque, bearing an image of Mars and believed to be a relic of the Roman occupation of Britain, was discovered here, See Relief For Ulcer Afflicted By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE A iated Press Sci Editor 1--(AP)-- A Chicago, May new treatment for stomach ul- cers, which in effect dusts a soothing powder over a distressed stomach, was described to the American College of Physicians here by doctors Leo L. Hardt and Leonard P. Brodt, of Loyola School of Medicine, Chicago. The medicine, in the form of tablets is compounded of pow- dered aluminum, powdered mag- nesium (the two lightweight met- als) and mucin, which is one of the stomach's natural secretions. All are common medical pre- parations, but the technique of applying them is new, The two metals are in use as antacids, meaning chemicals that counter- act acidity. The mucin is mixed with them because when the pow=- der gets into the stomach the met« als cause the mucin to form a sort of paste that spreads over the stomach membranes. It does not coat completely, but it concen- trates somewhat on the face of ulcers. There is no direct medical ef- fect. Instead the paste neutralizes stomach acids to some 'extent, And slows down the digestive ac- tion of the natural pepsin in di- gestion. Given in tablet form, the paste remains in position for sey- eral hours. If given in liquid it does not work, but leaves the stomach promptly. Dr, Hardt sad that 34 ulcer patients have been treated. The tablet remedy was given for four to 12 weeks to each person. He said that relief from pain and discomfort was almost immediate. Since completing their treat. ments, the longest three months ago, these people have been free from discomfort. In two cases large ulcers disappeared.
