> N Daly. U.E.F.B. Plans To Send Special Christmas Boxes To People In i Coincident with the submission®: ofan interim report on the activi- ties of The United Emergency Fund for Britain by H. J. Daly, national director of the organization, a spec- ial CANAID Christmas parcel is announced which may be ordered in Canada for delivery to designated recipients in Great Britain. The report on the year's operation was presented to Sir Ellsworth Flavelle, national UEFB Chairman, and the members of the Executive Commit- tee of which Lady Eaton is Chair- man, The UEFB started functioning 'Just a year ago, on a national basis, and was designed to integrate and augment the efforts of all organ- izations and individuals in Cana- da, interested in offering and pro- viding assistance to the British peo- ple during the emergency, in such & way that their effort would have the maximum effect without loss of identity. The response improved progressively, from last January to the present, with the result that about $500,000 worth of food and clothing were forwarded to the needy in Great Britain through the UEFB facilities. This is exclusive of the CANAID Parcel Service which was inaugurated last May. "During the period of operation, some 250,000 pounds of food in were shipped overseas to the Derby warehouse," says Mr. 000 pounds of food, mostly tinned, were forwarded in bulk. With the break-up of the bulk food into of 8 pounds gross at the warehouse, it is estimated that some 75000 needy Britons have been assisted by the UEFB. Serving this number is equivalent to providing everyone with a food parcel in ana verage city like Lon- don, Ontario; Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Verdun, Que." - "With a very conservative valu- ation of 50 cents per pound on this food sent abroad, the cost would re- present approximately $300,000. In addition, some 100 tons of clothing went overseas and, again at a mini- mum valuation of one dollar per pound the total would be about $200 00° This constitutes some $50. in food a clothing sent to the needy." Mr. Daly explains that the need in Britain is more urgent today than when the war ended and the nation's economic life is in a critic- al position as evident by the current Britain "In addition, another 350,- | di Will Charge Tony Demers Magog, Que. Sept. 20-- (CP) -- Charges will be laid today by the Attorney - General's Department against Tony Demers, 32-year-old former National Hockey League player, in connection with the death of Mrs. Anita Robert, 31, of Coati- cook, Que. Judged criminally responsible for the woman's death by a six-man coroner's jury, Demers will appear in court at nearby Sherbrooke for arraignment, At an inquest Monday night, police told the juy that Mrs. Robert died in Hospital here Friday shortly after she was brought there by Demers. Battered and bleeding, she appeared to have received a "severe beating." Demers testified he picked up Mrs. Robert Thursday at the Coati- cook home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Laberge. They stopped for several drinks, he said, before going to Sherbrooke where they consumed more liquor. Early in the evening they re- turned to the Laberge home where Mrs. Laberge objected to her daughter keeping company with Demers, and then they headed for Magog, stopping at several resorts in the district. While returning from Magog, the car had left the road and both got out. An argument ensued and Demers admitted striking Mrs. Ro- bert in the eye and forcing her to re-enter the car against her will. She jumped from the car shortly after, Demers testified, and he found her unconscious on the road. Unable to revive her, he placed her in the back seat and went to sleep in the front until daybreak. Finding Mrs. Robert still un- conscious hours later, he took her to the summer camp of Robert Pruneau at Little Lake and then to the hospital. She died while Demers visited the Laberge home. The former play with the Montreal Canadiens of the N.HL. was arrested in Magog when he in- quired at the hospital about Mrs. rt discussions in Washington. Ration- | Robe: ing continues, meat is scarce, so much so that the caloric value of the average daily meal, under the restrictive system, is sever- al hundred calories less than the minimum ents of 2,800 per person. It is for this reason that the UEFB CANAID parcels contain mostly tinned meats. In setting up the CANAID "Christmas Parcel, adds Mr. Daly, efforts were made to provide the most nourishing food, though a sur- vey regarding requirements in Bri- tain coupled with suggestions of dieticians and members of the medical profession, Consideration was also given to their seasonal adaptation and while some of the items included in the parcel are of a luxury type, their nutritive quali- ties add to he holiday spirit. to assure delivery in time for Christmas. Contents of the CANAID Christ- mas Parcels include a one-pound tin of turkey, one two-pound tin of ox tongue, pie crust mix for 'the e meat of one pound, a pound tin plum pudding and a pound tin of butter, Weighing approxi- mately twelve and one-half pounds net, the carton will also contain sugar, rice, tea biscuit mix, tea, hard candy, cheese and a can of peaches. Each parcel comprises an excellent holdiay meal for six to eight per- sons. Mr. Daly advises that the number of parcels available will be limited and urges all desiring to have them overseas for Christmas to place their orders as early as possible to assure receipt. The price of $9.00 in Canada for the CANAID Christ- mas Parcel includes all costs into the hands of the recipient and in- 'surance, William Boddy, Chairman of the |ground 'Oshawa Committee, has announced that Sépember 28 and 29 have n set aside as tentative dates for col- tion of U.EF.B. parcels here. ese dates are subject to change depending on whether the local can be made available at that time.

'Gold Rush' In Britain London, Sept. 20--(Reuters) -- Top-hatted brokérs armed with umbrellas today jostled with hun- dreds of clerks and juniors on the orowded floor of the stock exchange in the city's wildest "gold rush" '|since Britain went off the gold standard 18 years ago. Gold shares rose an average of five shillings in as many minutes when the exchange doors opened '| after Monday's proclaimed holiday that followed devaluation of the pound. Unofficial business had begun an hour earlier outside the doors in Throgmorton Street, until 11:00 AM. shares rose steadily despite appeals for caution from all re- sponsible elements on the stock exchange floor. Then some finance houses dis- creetly informed principal dealers they were prepared to offer some South African gold shares in an endeavor to check what they call- ed "the prevailing madness." But the business provided only a temporary relief. Within half an hour dealers were again appealing to finance houses to offer more 'shares to hold the gold rush fever that had gripped the market. A constant stream of brokers rushed in and out of the exchange and across Throgmorton Street to telephone booths. Telephone opera- tors were nearly driven to distrac- tion with the flood of calls. Brokers sald most of the busi- ness being done today was for South African "holes in the " The gambling in gold shares mainly concerned no-pro- ducing gold mines. Deatings in established, dividend- paying shares, though active, were The rush was almost confined to gold, the brokers explained, be- cause of the "bald nature" of the devaluation announcement, Buyers could count on South Af- rican gold shares being unaffected by industrial repercussions and government restrictions, - but the future of the industrial market, they said, would remain uncertain for some days to come. Johannesburg, Sept. 20 -- (Reu- ters)--Excited, shouting dealeps tried frantically to buy gold shares when the Johannesburg Stock Ex- change opened its dealings this morning for the first session since devaluation of the pound. As the morning crowds from the streets swelled the crowds in the exchange until the corridors: were packed. The busy stockbrokers were beaming, and one said: "This is better than a blood transfusion for a very sick man. All we need now is devaluation of the dollar." Fashionably - dressed women dashed in and out of stockbrokers offices, jabbering and 'scratching notes on cigaret boxes. Gold shares went up as much as 50 per cent in the first few min- utes of trading as brokers clamored to satisfy orders received Monday, when official end street' trading were banned. .

Arguments, speeches, deals, votes and decisions are expected to keep the ates here for nearly three months, although U.N. officials set Nov. 30 hopefully: as the date they should finish, Optimism grew out of a state- ment by 'Andrei Vishinsky, Foreign Minister of Soviet Russia, who said the assembly could solve its im- portant problems with co-opera- tion, .

D. PARKHURST Will Pay More For U.S. Goods Ottawa, Sept. 20.--~(CP)A puzzled frown today creased the brow of the Canadian man-on-the-street. He took a long look at the colos- sal currency shake-up and wonder- ed whether he was receiving a kindly pat on the head or a swift kick in the pocket book. More than likely the 10-per-cent devaluation" of the Canadian dol- lar announced Monday night is a little of both. In any case it all depends on which way you look at it. . For one thing, if Mr. Average Ca- nadian takes a look across the bor- der he can see the approach of higher prices for United States- made goods. - He won't like that. On the other hand, he can take a look across the Atlantic to the United Kingdom. Stuff coming from there should be cheaper. Even at that, it's not cheaper to the ex- tent that it would have been if Ca- nada' hadn't devalued her dollar. That would have meant she could take advantage of the full 30-per- cent slash in the value of the pound, announced Sunday. But, enough of these percentages. The question is which prices are going up and which are going down, y The balance appears on the side of increased prices, mainly because Canada buys more from the United States than she does from the United Kingdom, Take gasoline, oil and coal, for in- stance. A lot of those products come to Canada from the United States. Before devaluation $1 worth of coal in U.S. dollars cost $1 in Canadian money. Now it will cost $1.10. That's the same with juicy citrus fruits that come from California and Florida. It's the same for those high-priced automobiles --the ones that are made wholly in the United States. That's not the end of the un- happy looking list but it serves to show that a lot of things are go- ing to cost more--something about 10 per cent more. Now, Jook at this whole affair from a different side--the point of view of people such as cattle breed- ers and gold mine owners, in fact anybody who sells Canadian goods to the United States. The cattle man whi received $35 in American money for steer he sold in the United States now will get that same $35 but it will be worth $38.50 in Canadian money. Turning back to the UK. market there's consolation in the fact that English-made cars ought to be slightly cheaper. " ' This probably all brings to mind the question of what currency de- Yalussion will do to the cost of liv- ng. On that score, Finance Minister Abbott--that man who started all this--says he doesn't know. "I think it's too early for anyone to hazard a guess on what the ef- fects will be on the cost of living," he told a press conference. He had a cautious reply on an- other question: will imports from the- United States still have to be cut now that the dollar has been devalued? Mr. Abbott would go no further than to say "it certainly won't in- crease the need for reduction of United States imports." Cattle Shippers Stand To Benefit Toronto, Sept. 20--(CP)--Ontario farmers shipping cattle to the United States stand to benefit as a result of dollar devaluation, provid- ing present prices are maintained, W. P. Watson, Ontario Livestock Commissioner, said Monday night. More than 100,000 head of dairy cattle went to the United States last year and the flow of beef cattle has been heavy since the embargo was lifted last August. Exports should be stimulated be- cause the farmers will be paid in United States currency which will bring a premium in this country, Mr. Watson added. Dollar devaluation s greeted with a "wait and see" attitude by officials of the farm implement industry. Canadian Thig is one of a series in which a Canadian Press military writer sums up the defence situation in Canada. In today's story he deals with the Army's combat strength. Tomorrow: the R.CA.F, By DOUGLAS HOW Ottawa, Sept. 20 (CP)--The Army is gradually building a combat strength, but its crux and core now is a web of schools. There are some 14 scattered across Canada. They are called Corps Schools because they produce in- structors and trained men for all the Army's corps, from infantry to provost, from signals to medical. They prepare the men for Arctic and winter conditions and for air- borne fighting, round off future of- ficers, turn out tradesmen. In any wartime expansion, their importance would be tremendous. In the meantime, they play an import- ant part in construction of the air- borne brigade group that is ear- marked to be the standing force to meet any enemy raid in the fore- seeable future. The brigade is slowly taking shape. No commander has been named, but the first steps have been taken towards formation of a head- quarters. The first land exercises on what might be called a brigade level are being held this fall at Wain- wright, Alta., and Petawawa, Ont. Of its three infantry battalions, one has finished airborne -- para- chute, glider, transport by air -- training at Rivers, Man. joint- training centre. Another is in the midst of this training and should be finished by spring. The third will follow. Then will come such support units as artillery, medicals and signals. Some of the component parts, two armored regi- ments, for imstance, will not take airborne training. - Most of the regular units are be- low strength but this is improving as the army's manpower moves to- towards the 20,000-mark.| Just when the brigade will be fully trained and ready for action has not been an- nounced but it will probably take another two years. The training schools include the big air-land co-operation base at Rivers, really a' cluster of schools under one roof, and the winter ex- perimental establishments at Churchill, Man. The latter is really a tri-service, and two-nation base inhabited by hundreds of Canadians and Americans. The signals school at Kingston can give seven courses. simultaneously. The infantry school, with headquar- ters at Camp Borden can handle 450 men at a time. The Army is directed from 13 headquarters -- national headquar- Army's Training Program ters in Ottawa, five regional com- mands and seven subordinate area headquarters within the commands. The commands are organized - as divisional headquarters and all have done divisional exercises without troops. The Army has six components, the regular and reserve forces, the inactive supplementary reserve, the Officers Training Corps in the uni- versities, 50,000 school-age cadets, and the Rangers, an organization of guides, trappers and the like in the north.
