[Se THE PAPERS EDMONTON -- The versatility of the RCAF has been put to the fest with the first birthyof a baby in a C119 Flying Boxcar of Trans, port Squadron 435 of nearby Na- mao. The birth took place on a flight from Resolute Bay, N.W.T., 'to Thule, Greenland. Because of prenatal complica+ tions, officials of the ROGAF 'de- tachment at Resolute decided "to fly Mrs. Edith Alec 'to a United States Air Force hospital at Thule -- But while the Eskimo mother was willing the baby decided 'not to wait. Doctors at the U.S. Thule has- pital talked by radio with "'Doc- tor' Cpl. R. S. Durocher -of Ot- tawa and he brought seven- pound, nine-ounce Pappeal Alec in- to the world while still an hour's flying time from Thule, OTTAWA -- The Royal Canadian Mint still is laboring to turn out enough nickels, dimes, quarters and higher change to meet the de- mand. Only pennies seem to be in fuli supply and another 9,000,000 hickels are needed. The need is attributed to the decision last May that United States coins would be withdrawn from circulation. TORONTO -- One of the causes of the rapid depletion of the Un- DPD, employment Insurance Fund is the fashionably - attired. woman who turns herself into a "'frump" when she applies for a job, J. W. Temple regional director of the Unemploy- ment Insurance Commission says. "They show up here dressed up like pages out of Vogue to register for jobs, and then show up for the interview with dirty fingernails, messy makeup. and rumpled clothes,' Mr. Temple said. "Naturally they don't get hired and they march right back to claim 'their monthly cheques." LONDON, Ont. -- Short-measure tactics used in retailing fresh fruit have been declared illegal by the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture's farm products inspection service. A tlirective signed by D. E, Wil- liams, head of the inspection sery- ice, says: "Retailers generally have been using paper to stuff the bottoms and corners of consumer contain- ers of fruit." 'Such packs are deceptive to the consumer and must be discontin- ued."' The directive has been sent to fruit and vegetable inspectors across the province. "The bottom of the container," the directive states, "must be fill- ed with fruit (not air). Placing ene fruit in the bottom and then piling others around it will not be allowed."' "Such containers must be prop- erly filled with fruit, and wrappers or any other paper may not be used to either wrap individual fruit, to add color or as a filler."

THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA i Manoger: | Haileybury 'Branch, K. J. Macdonald: .- veteran's allowance, but one of them has to go. This is the final word from the capital. Mr. Turner, retired businessman in Duncan, B.C., lost his allowance when he received a $25,000 legacy from England -and spent it fulfill- ing a lifetime ambition to build a church. : The veterans affairs department has said that the church is an as- set. And it says the regulations are clear -- a man with $25,000 to spend can't expect to be sup- ported with public funds in the form of a veterans' allowance in- tended for the poor. Department officials already have told Mr. Turner that there is an €asy way around the situa- tion -- he could sell the church. But Mr. Turner has been quoted here as saying, "I gave the church to God 'and I won't take it back.' An official here explained that the war veterans' allowance is de- signed to bring a veteran's income up to $90 a month if he is single, $145 a month if married, after cal- culating all other incomes. This is distinct from the war disability pension, payable to any- one who suffered an injury during the war whether he is a million- aire or indigent. The disability rate varies according to circum- stances, Under federal regulations, 'a vet- eran's allowance is not payable to amyone with assets exceeding $1,000 in the case of a single man or $2,000 if he is married. As interpreted here, the rule is final regardless of what a veteran does with his assets. Officials point out that veterans could try to get around the regulation by giving the money to, say, their-children. TORONTO -- An intruder was trapped this week in the main en- trance of a downtown bank, heid off police and bank employees for an hour without firing a shot, then made a getaway. No one dared approach the skunk, which stood between the revolving door and the steel se- curity gate with his threatening tail held high in the air. Finally he escaped into a gar- bage chute. SUN VALLEY, Idaho--The presi- dent of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce 'has suggested that the Canadian dollar be called the "'Do- minion'"' or the "'Beaver" -to dis- tinguish it from the United States dollar. H. Gordon Love of Calgary, ad- dressing the general conference of the Pacific Northwest Trade <As- sociation, said any difference, real or imagined, between the 'Canadian and U.S. dollar is little understood. Depending upon which country suf- fers from the exchange rate at any given moment, it gives rise to resentment and misunderstand- ing. TOKYO -- Yawns and stretches are increasing production in Jap- anese factories. Managements of large factories which employ thousands of girls discovered that the combination of a good yawn plus some simple exercises increased efficiency. The Shukan Yomiuri, a weekly magazine, reported that a transis- tor factory near Tokyo had regis- tered a drop in production. The girls worked long monotonous hours assembling parts of transis- tor radios that required a high de- gree of concentration. The company consulted a Tokyo University professor who special- ized in the study of increasing pro- duction from the medical approach, |~ He recommended the girls be giv- en 10-minute rests in the morning and afternoon plus a short rest period every hour, '*Physiologically and psycholog- ically it is not good for the health and mind to remain in"the same posture too long," he said. } Now production stops for 30 sec- onds on the hour every hour while +, '|tows of girls yawn together, throw: _|their hands over their heads and . | stretch, by The girls welcomed the interval and the management found less defective work in the finished pro- ducts.
