The shortage of warehouse space in Engiand has to be seen to be apprecâ€" iated. Work is carried on under conâ€" ditions which we would call utterly impossible at home. It is < not the fault of the Overseas Office who havt searched earnestly and long for spact â€"â€"it is due to this tiny country being in the war and to the same timeée, acting as the storehouse for millions of men of the Allied Nations on Active seryâ€" vice, and for affiliated services suct as the Red Cross Societies. In view 0. this and until the present congestior has been relieved by substantial ship: ments to the liberated countries, which may ecme at any time, we must shi, only those articles NOW required. Stops 1. Stop making and shipping child ren‘s nightwear of all kinds large! than four yvears. The reason for thi is that women coming to the C. O C. S. for clething, or the other crgan: izations whoin we serve, all refuse t give up their coupons for nightwear. 2. Stop making and shipping men‘s shirtsâ€"civilian. These are no longe! required for the present at least. 3. Stop assembling infants‘ wear 11 layettes. TheCommittee there are symâ€" pathetic with our difficulty in this reâ€" gard, knowing how women love to makt and assemble them. At the same timt it means that they all hope toj be unâ€" packed there and assembled in layâ€" ettes which â€" will ndt have a coupon value over 25. We average 35( lavettes a month to the wives of Canâ€" adian service men alone. In Septemâ€" ber 500 were issued to these new Canâ€" adians and 1,000 to the French Red Cross for Normandy. . In addition organizations regularly receiving helr from the C. R. C. S8, were served, sc you can see the additional work entiled when curs have to be unpackd. Th Relief Committee hope, however, tha‘ we shall continue to send the powder soap and safety pins usually put into layettes along with the case _ lot of infants‘ clothing. Re diapers: â€"Set below "Push making and shipping t( the utmost". 4. Stop assembling any clothing ir kits. This has caused a great deal 0o trouble and annoyance overseas. age space in England. It does â€" nct mean that articles which you have under the "Stop" list will ultimately be uselessâ€"simply, that they must be held by the divisions, until further notice.

Special to Report of His Death by Robot Bomb Apparently a Mistake. All Here Deâ€" lighted. On Nov. 9th, The Advance carried a reference to the report that Alf W. Snow a popular oldâ€"time resident of this part of the North, had been killed overseas when a robot bomb destroyed the building in which he was conductâ€" ing a store business. The report had every indication of authenticity and came from a source that seemed to leave no room for any doubt. To inâ€" crease the belief in the news coming ‘rom ‘oversi>as was the fact that letters from soldiers from overseas in many cases included such expressions as ‘"Too bad about good old Alf. Snow," or "I suppose you have heard the sad news about Alf Snow." There segined to be no doubt about the truth of the report in view of the detailed and circumstantial evidence that seemed to accumulate to support it.

Their annual catch totals more than 30 million pounds of cod fish to swell the food and medical supplies of the United Nations. Cod is dried for overseas shipment thus saving valuable cargo space, while the livers yield prized, vitaminâ€"rich oil. Canada has agreed to sup;ly a hundred thousand gallons of cod liver cil to UNRRA in the year ending next July. The picture above shows cod fillets being cured with salt. It is one of a series of about a hundred photographs chosen to repret all phases of Canadian life to the other Allied Nations.
