"Following these suggestions," the supervisor said, "would mean a lot to the voluntary salvage workers. They can get quicker sales and better prices for clean, sorted salvage. Moreover, the workers are stimulated to more inâ€" tensive efforts when they have this kind of public coâ€"operation." "Sometimes we wonder," said the supervisor of the drive. "We are conâ€" stantly in communichtion with local salvage organizations whose work is slowed up because those who donate salvage too often neglect to follow the suggestions given for packing. It is most important to see that the various items of salvage Are kept separate." In Great Britain, where salvage is compulsory, brief instructions for packing salvage are broadcast by BBC every morning just after the news. Beginning this week the CBC, and most of the other private Canadian radio stations, are coâ€"operating in a similar drive to keep salvageâ€"conscious Canaâ€" dians aware of the problem of sorting salvage. Suggestions to those saving waste materials for the salvage drive include: pack all rags separately, cottons in one parcel, linens in another, woollens in Nevertheless, â€" despite "racketeers" and careless packing, salvage is in a booming condition. Of particular interest is an impendâ€" ing development in the paper market feld. The National Salvage Office has just learned that a great many Canâ€" adian manufactures and users of paper boxes insist on paper board made chiefly from wood pulp. Satisfactory paper board is being made from waste paper, however, and plans are now unâ€" der way to make the industrial use of such paper board more widespread. "We hope that the manufacturers and users will coâ€"operate by altering their requirements," the officials conâ€" cluded. Time may be saved, the amount of energy required from voluntary workâ€" ers may be reduced, and the returns from the sale of salvage may be inâ€" creased, by proper sorting and packing in the home, the supervisor explained. a third, and silks in a fourth; tie newspapers up in neat and secure bundles, keep magazines separate, flatâ€" ten out all cardboard boxes, put kraft wrapping papers together; dry all bones and put them in a stout box or wrap them carefully, but omit fish bones: sort out the various kinds of nonâ€"ferrous metals and tie similar kinds together. "The effect of this changeâ€"over in a Canadian industrial process would be important," salvage officlals declare. "It would give an immediate market for quantities of waste paper being collected by voluntary salvagers, and that would mean increased funds for war charities, It would also release for export a considerable amount of wood pulp, and that would mean inâ€" creased foreign exchange for war purâ€" poses."

It will also give a nmpE Such precautions would nip in the bud the mean activities of these new "racketeers" trying to préy on the generosity of the public in wartime. However, this is only a slight temâ€" porary unpleasantness, salvage officials believe. It will in due course be reâ€" moved from the salvage picture. There is another mildly disturbing element, though, which is causing offiâ€" cials a little concern. And that is the problem of sorting salvage. Does the general public realize the complexity of salvage operations? That is the reâ€" peated question at the National Salâ€" vage headquarters. But all is not entirely smooth sailâ€" ing. A new type of "racketeer" has geveloped. He is an unscrupulous perâ€" son taking advantage of the salvage drive in rural districts. HMe collécts salvage in the name of the Red Cross or some other well known local galâ€" vage organization, without in any way being associated with the work, and later sells the salvage for his own perâ€" sonal gain. "Farmerst and rural housewives," this say, "should make certain that the persons who call to pick it up are accredited representatives, and salvage organizations should have their zolâ€" lectors carry a document o6of identificaâ€" tion."

Racketeers Being Caught. Sorting . Salvage Necesâ€" sarvy Procedure. (Epecial): Salvage continues to be a lively topic all across Canada these days. Your enquiring reporter (From "Grab Samples‘"‘ in the Northern News) Bob Brown, prospecting in Northern Manitoba for Jack Wanless, of The Pas,.was lost for 19 days in an uninâ€" habited region, travelled 140 miles, rafted himself across a lake, lived off the country without any firearms or fishing tackle, reached a cabin where he was picked up by ‘searching aircraft and all he complained about when found was that his feet hurt. When he got out to Hughes Lake he wrote a few lines to his boss. Here is the substance of his report. "I have had quite a hard time. Wrote you last from McVeigh Lake on June l1st. Well, I teok a trip across country to Mcâ€" Veigh Lake, forgetting my map. H made a narrow sketch to go home with but did too much prospecting and got my small map, could not locate myâ€" self, thought I was south of the map, but was really north. So I put in 19 days in the bush, without bedding or grub, only I could kill with a stick, which was one porcupine, one groundâ€" hog, one big jackfish, two young hawks. The rest of my food was berries. It is safe to assume that almost any other man than a seasoned prospector would never have lasted 19 days in the bush without a tent, sleeping boug ot rations. The mental hazard alone would drive the ordinary man insan* or make him incapabe of rescuing himâ€" self. The fact that Brown travelled 140 miles is another indication of the bushâ€"trained man. The stunt of livâ€" ing off the country was no mean‘ feat, either. The general public fails utâ€" terly to appreciate the qualification of ‘My boots were no good after the first two days and I had very sore feet to walk on, which was the worst of my trouble until I landed at Hughss Lake at Herman‘s trapping cabin. A North West Mountie flew in to take the cenâ€" sus of the region and I sent out a letâ€" ter to have a plane move me. I have lots of grub but have to pay Herman back, as he is not long on same. Talk about eating: T have eaten six times a day ever since I arrived."‘ Brown then goes on to announce his plans for the rest of the season. The irony of a govâ€" ernment census taker locating him was not missed. When Bob Brown Was Lost in North Manitoba Region Like the agreement which po#tponâ€" ed hostilities between these gangsters from August 1939 to June 1941, the coâ€" operative arrangement between Britain and Russia announced by Mr. Churchâ€" ill on 22nd June is an expedient purely material aim. The British peoâ€" ple and the Bolsheviks are fighting the same foe and it is to their mutual advantage that they should fight in unison. But that is all. They are not comrades in arms. Any respect in which the Moscow regime was held before the war was forfeited by the sellâ€"out to Hitler. It can never be regained, not only because of that act of perfidy ht also because a victory which left Russia intact would be the signal for a resumption of that underâ€" gound war against free institutions and governments which the Communist Inâ€" ternational _ waged relentlessly since 1917. The most that can be hoped from this new phase of the war is that the vaunted military might of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics will prove capable of wreaking damage upon the National Socialist war machine of Germany on a scale commensurate with the mischief and miserty inflicted upon the world by the two great exâ€" periments in applied Soclalism which have ended, as they were sometime bound to end, in sanguinary despotâ€" Paper is one of the first types of waste materials available, being fouhd im every home, store, factory, and ofâ€" fice building.

It is interesting to note that The Labor Review, the official organ of the Canadian Federation of Labour, has the same hope expressed by The Advance. In its current issue The Labour Review says editorially:â€" Clash of Tyrannies After twentyâ€"two months of unéasy alliance, the two great tyrannies of Europe are locked in a mortal struggle in which only one can survive..

It may be the handguards. Quite often it is the barrel or the forendsâ€"the wooden section under the back part of the barrel. The barrels pass through some rather trying experiences. Sometimes, as is natural in a gun which has seryvâ€" ed in War it has failed to receive proâ€" per attention. It may be left out, partly buried, and for some time unâ€" cleaned. The inner surface of the barâ€" rel starts to corrode. The rifling is destroved and it is no longer an effecâ€" tive weapon. There is another peculiar "disease" of gun barrels. It is called "ringing." It is produced when the gun is fired while there is something lodged inâ€" side the barrel. When that happens, the bullet may not leave the gun. It becomes thoroughly packed against the obstruction and the tremendous of the gas, exerting its pressure upon the bullet and the barrel, expands the inside of the barrel and a small area in close proximity to the obstruction is enlarged. If this happened in a shotgun it would be "goodâ€"night" to the gun, concelvably also to the man who held it, but a rifle barrel has treâ€" mendous resisting power. When it has passed through an experience of this kind, it will never be quite the same again! When these rifies are gone over thera are, of course, some which are scrap, save only for the salvage left in them. Some have a value only as drill rifes that are not to be fired. They serve the purpose of giving trainees, in the first days of their military experience, the "feel" of having a rifie in their hands. There are others which may be termed emergency rifies. They would be all right for the Hom» Guard but they would not be turned over to regular troops as service rifies for prolonged use. Then there are the others, and a good many of ‘them, which for all practical purposes, afler renovation, are as good as new and quite able to take the "gaff" for anâ€" other campaignâ€"even if Hitler lasted for longer than seems, at the moment, probable. If they could only speak, what tales these battered veterans could tell. They were in every conflict in the Great War, in every advance, in every retreat. They witnessed magificent courarâ€" much tragedy, some comedy, Such is life to a rifie on active serâ€" vice, Some of them carry stories 4n their faces, the initials of the men who held them, the initials of the girls they left behind them. Sometimes â€"they carry the names of battles. The grim notches filed in the barrels are recordas, between the lines, of foes slain in battle. Some are sworn beyond hope of reâ€" pair, but they have salvage value. It is always possible to take some parts from one and some from another, also worn and now useless, and by adding the parts together and supplying some which can be made in the plant, proâ€" vide a new riflileâ€"at least as serviceâ€" able as if it were. There are very few gunsmiths in Canadaâ€"that is, men who make a reâ€" gular business of it. Of course there is always the handyman who can fix anything, but the foreman in this plant knows his guns because guns have been his life. Many of the mwwen who do the work are farm boys, handy fellows with their hands, acrustomed to fixing up things at home. They like their work.

The men who are watching the firing of these shells want to know Plants as Clean Wards. Take a passing look at an bonbâ€"a 500 pound one. It is 36 inches high as it stands on end, and 13 inches across.

A filling plant is as clean as a hosâ€" piial ward. It is absolutely clean. The visitor wears clean rubbers provided by the plant. These rilbbers are used for nothing else but walking on clean floors. Matches, lighters, and other trinkets are left behind when the visiâ€" tor staris on his trip of inspection. The clothes of the workmen are clean. They wear a standard uniform. The men leave their suits behind when they leave the plant. They are trained to quiet, efficient work. In a place where carglessness might mean loss of life and serious danger to property, careâ€" fulness becomes an ingrained characâ€" teristic.
