MUST SELL SCRAP METAL Steel Controller F. B. Kilbourn, fac- ed with demands from war industry for vast quantities of scrap metal, has issued a drastic order making it illegal to hoard iron and steel, wheth- er in the form of machinery or scrap, it was announced by the Munitions and Supply Department. Without a permit, no person except a scrap dealer or scrap consumer, may keep possession after Sept. 15th of any scrap metal weighing more than 500 pounds. For the purposes of the order scrap meial includes machinery, structural steel or any other article or commodity contain- ing iron or steel, if it is not serving "an immediate vital purpose." GAMBLING AT THE BEACH The effort towards keeping all the chance and gambling outfits out of Wasaga Beach area is to be com- mended. Stiff fines, such as were imposed on a number of offenders a few days ago, says the Collingwood Bulletin-Enterprise, should prove ef- fective. In Canadian resorts there is usually sufficient free and clean entertainment for the summer vaca tionists, hence no need of grafting gambling devices, which, so often are alleged, at least, to be loaded against the player. Only vigilance, how >ver. will be the price of freedom from the danger. Gamblers are usu- ally open to take a chance. Hugh Cameron of Fergus has bees appointed permanent operator of the big conservation dam near that town at $200 per month and free living quarters. BATES & MADDOCKS FUNERAL CHAPEL Wartime Bermuda Aids The Empire (By Hugh Templin) The position of Bermuda makes it extremely important. It is the only group of islands in all that part of the western Atlantic, about 600 miles from Florida, about 670 from New York and 720 from Halifax. The out- er West Indies are aibout the same distance away. It is as though Ber- muda is the centre of a semi-circle of coast line, from Porto Rico to Nova Scotia. If that group of islands be- longed to the Axis Powers, it would make a most difficult situation for all the Atlantic coastline of North America. The old seafarers who picked up all these odd bits of land Empire did us a Late Mrs. S. Tuck Mrs. Hannah Tuck, widow of the late Sanford Tuck of Markdale passed away in the Toronto General Hospital on Friday, at the age of 81 years. The late Mrs. Tuck had been an invalid for the past few years and had been visiting in Toronto for a few weeks with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. 0. M. M Kenzie. Some ten days prior to her death she fell, broke her hip and was taken to the hospital. There she seemed to be making verj satisfact- ory progress toward recovery, but owing to other physical conditions, she passed away quite suddenly. The ; remains were brought home on Sat- ! urday for burial.

Bermuda is one of the most import- ant. There is already a great Brit- ish naval base there, nd probably ha; been for some years. The Darrell's Island base, where the Clipper lands is really an Imperial Airways base.

One of the moat in- portant features of the recent battle west of Midway Island in the Pacific, was that Japan lost two ar three ol these ships. When I was in Bermuda in Septem- ber, I saw one American aircraft carrier at a distance. Returning at the end of October by boat, the Ex- cambion passed close beside one of these ships, while arriving and de- parting. Pictures of aircraft carriers are familiar to most readers. The shjp has a broad, flat deck from which the planes go and to which they re- turn. Many planes were huddled close together at one end of the flight deck, some of them with one wing folded up in the air to save storage space. The deck below was open at the sides and many more plane? could be seen storred there. These planes are raised to the fight deck by elevators.

It was quite dark before the boat Two of Acton's largest industries have asked the town council to close beverage rooms at an earlier hour. pointing out the serious effect they were having on war production. This led the Paisley Advocate to ; tell of an instance where an industry engaged in turning out products vital to the war effort, had laid off thirty- four men since early spring, because these men, working on the night shift, persisted in sipping beer for an hour or two before reporting for work. Female help was hired in many cases to fill these jobs, but now too many of the girls are taking "two or three" before coming on the job. The Advocate concludes: One wonders just how long Canadians are going to stand for this sort of sabotage of the national war effort. (WARTIME BERMUDA) (continued on page 4) ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mr. Jas.

TO CHECK ON USE OF SUGAR FOR PRESERVING The Canadian housewife who has purchased sugar for preserving pur- poses may receive a courteous letter one of these days asking when a rationing official may visit her kit- chen and see what she has done with the sugar used for preserving. War- time Prices and Trade Board officials stated that letters were being sent out to housewives in different parts of Canada, so that a check might be made on the use of sugar granted for preserving, apart from the ration amount of one-half pound a person a week.
