Connect N orthem Men with Alleged Smugglmg Ring This week John Kovacevich, of Schu- macher was arrested and taken to Windsor to face chargeu of oem'plicity in an alleged smuggling ring that is charged with illegally exporting gold from Canada to the Uni-3 ed States with- out the required license fiom the For- eign Exchange ‘30 ntr 01 Be ard. 'From the fact that the Provincial Gold Squad has been working on the case it is im- plied that the gold ore alleged to be thus illegally exrpm 1 ed is also suspected of being what is -Cp pularly known as “high-grade, ” implying that it was not acquired in the legal way. Four other men were previously arrested at Wind- sor on charges of attempting to export pneper-ty from Canada .to the United States without the required license. Their names are given as Michael Bil- jioh, George Birsu-h. Marko Lekich and Sam Matijevieh. alias Sam Matheson. The despatches from Windsor give the addlresse'l of the first three as Windsor, while the last named is given as resid- ing in Hamilton. They wei‘evremanded in court at Windsor, bail being set at $5,000.00 each cash, or $10,000. property. Sponsored by the, Prospec- tors’ and Developers’ As- somatlon. It is understood that. me Provincial Gold Squad, the R.C.M.P., officers: of the Foreign Exchange Control Board and local police are working on the cases. Kovacevioh, who is 32 years old, worked on surface at the ‘Bonetal Mine in Whitney township. near the Broulan and Hallnor properties. Three of the chher men concerned are also said to have worked at Northern mines at one time or another. They are all of Cro- ation or Yugo-Slav origin.

(Another in a series of articles: writ- ten by W. R. Legge and C. V. Charters. who represented the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association in a recent. tour overseas). (By Walter R. Legge) Canadians everywhere seem to be tremendously interested in two things about Britain. and they are Bomb Dam- age, and Food. Most foods are rationed. and others are sold on the point system. The weekly ration {or one person when we were there was: butter 2 ounces. tea 2 ounces; sugar 8 ounces. bacon 4 ounces. cheese 4 ounces, jam 16 ounces. meat 23 cents worth and canned goods 24 points. The prices are fixed by the govern- ment which also conirob: the distribu- tion of supplies. This is the reason why consumers mum. register with one swrekeepe‘r and buy rationed goods there. only. The storekeeper then re- ceives only sufficient stocks: to look at- nothing else, there is a yearning for some good white bread. Perhaps after 'a longer period one would become so accustomed to it that it would be pre- ferred. , After eating meals for six weeks in training camps, hotels and the private homes of friends or relativw. the ed- itors began to have a good idea of con- ditions there. ‘ Probably the outstanding feature of the meals is the total absence of any white bread or rolls.

The editors had a conference with teh Minister oi mood on September lath and were greatly impressed with his utility and sincerity. He extended his thanks to Canadians for their assistance in feedim Britain. and expressed his appreciation for the restrictions which Canadians had imposed upon them- selves in order to help Britain. Imports of food from Canada are up over 40%. me Ministry 0! Food buys all the food imported into Britain. and overseas the distributim and price. The Ministry endeavours to maintain a standard of nutrition. and to this end scientists are at work all the time trying to provide a proper supply of calories and vitamins through substi- tutes. The needs: of children and the sick are especially provided for. Lord Woolton said, “It is the children who will have to clean up this mess. and they must grow up strong.” The best way to maintain morale. Lord Woolton believes, is to keep the people well» fed, and in this: he is suc- ceeding in a wonderful way; Canteens and Restaurants Part of his plan to keep the people well fed was the establishment of can- teens in the larger factories, the sup- plying ot food to smaller factories, and the British Restaurants, sometimes called “Woolton’s Restaurants", to pro- vide meal where canteens are not .prac-- tical. The number of these restaur- ants nearly doubled in 1942 and the meals served amount to a staggering Later the Canadian editors: were tak- en to some of these restaurants for a meal, and had soup, meat and veget- ables, pudding and tea for a shilling and fou-npence.
