B. W. Browne, former Adjutant General at Army headquarters in Ottawa, The Reserve Army, the basis of which' is the old non-permanent active miiftia, . which corresppnds in somé*'measure to the V,'8. National Guard, has an enrolment of , approximately 150,000, It 1s now: being consolidated into 11, , brigade groups, one for each. of the 11 'military - districts in the : Dominion, General Browiie sald fn "an interview, It units not included in. the Active Army and those undergoing com- "pulsory military traiing. The bri- gades will include all arms of the service and will be fully equipped as soon as possible, ) Ssmpulsery Training Enrolled In the Reserve Army will be boys from 17 to 19 who are 100 young as yet for service in the Active Army, men from 19 to 35 under lower categories than B, men gvhiose compulsory training 'has been postponed, men over 38 and under 50, those who are re- ceiving instruction in officers train. ing corps and not yet graduated, and married men from 30 to 35 of a higher medical category than C. The Minister of National De- "ense Colonel Ralston recently an- nounced that there probably would be compulsory training in the Re- serve Army. The minimum of training in the Reserve Army will be 40 days--16 days in camp, 10 days in outdoor training and the equivalent of 15 days in evening instruction. The military training in the Reserve Army will be a sound foundation for those who may later become part of the Active Army. There fs going to he no delay in starting - training, General Browne stated. Camps will be started immeidiately, Allies Of Germany ~ Weak In Airplanes Germany Can Expect Little Help in Air From European Partners Germany will get little help In the air from her European allies in the impending spring offensive, Major Nikulin® concluded in esti. mating their air strength in the newspaper Red Star, Italy produced 2,000 planes last year, he wrote. Some of them have appeared on rare occasions ~over the southern sector of the Russian front, but their perform- ances have not been very success. ful, according to Soviet fliers whose opponents included 40 Macchi C- 200 fighter planes. Rumania has admitted losing 350 planes since her entry into the war last year, representing the total annual output of her three alr- craft factories. Nikulin said Ru- mania had sent to Russia 13 squad- rons of her 10 air regiments, each regiment . with from 20 to 30 Planes. Hungary has 250 planes, he wrote, but she Is not 'using any on the eastern front. E Finland has two factories with a normal annval output -of 200 planes, he sald, but the shortage of materials makes it unlikely that this figure can be reached at pres- ent. Before the 1939 war with Russia, she had six air regiments of three squadrons each, Probably only half-of this original force sur- vived, but planes imported from the United States and Germany re- placed most of the losses. India Is Country "India is not a nation, in the sense that France, or Germany, or . the United States are natlons, says Dorothy Thompson, India, like Europe, is a peninsula of Asia, and 'a congerles of peoples, speak- ing different languages, having difierent customs and ways of life. That these peoples wish to re- create themselves free of any col onial status is just and reason. able, in harmony with the trend --of history, and receives the seal of the spirit of justice among demo- cratically minded men, 'But the wisdom of history tells us that the re-creation of India in a manner satisfactory to the Ind- fans themselves cannot be accom. plished by a decree, or in a mo- ment. Even the creation of the United States, out of confederation of colonies whose people were al most 'wholly of one race and one mind and one religion, took many critical years. And there was not, at the moment, another enemy at the gate, another and more pre- _ datory empire wailing to pounce upon the leavings of its predeces. .

Plant Starts Assembly Line Production of Ships The shipbuilders' dream--as- sembly line production, has begun in Vancouver, Wash. "Keep 'em rolling" becamo a shipyard war cry for the first time as Kafser Company, Inc., latd a keel of the first of a fleet of Liberty freighters in the first completed way at a new $17,000,- 000 plant on the Columbia River. 12-Way Yard i It took "The Kid" of the busi- ness--33-year-old Edgar F. Kalser, dam contractor extraordinary turned shipbuilder--to rewrite the automotive industry's book for ships. : In the new 12.way yard entire superstructures will roll along an assembly line while hulls take form on the. ways, * Stacks, booms, pilothouse, bfidge, cabins -- everything above decks, even to the wood- work and fittings--will bo added as each gigantic unit mo%es along the line. By the time the hulls, are launch- ed the superstructures will be fin. ished, moved into huge bays ready for-lowering onto the hulls In one piece. } Simply Welded On After that, its simply a matter of welding, minor outfitting and adjustment before the ships are - ready to go into service carrying war cargoes to American and United Nations troops all over the world. . Where the new technique will save is in the. outfitting basin. How many days the superstructure assembly line will shave off fotal buflding time even Kaiser's "pro- duction experts don't know yet, but they expect it to be plenty. They belleve the methods used will revolutionize American ship. bullding, but that's not the fm. portant thing." What they want ta do Is turn out 10,000-ton KC-26s faster than they've ever been built before. ISSUE 18--'42 4. Yes. One should say "tux- edo"." "Tux" takes its place with "Gents". : ) What Science Is Doing FIGHTING FEVER In a single hen's egg, Rocke- teller Foundation scientists can grow enough yellow-fover virus to protect twenty persons for at least six years against the deadly trop- ical malady. The process consists of using the delicate membrane beneath the shell as a medium in which the microbes multiply rap- idly. ; _ The culture is then removed from the eggy frozen into relative impotence, and diluted in a salt solution, A fraction of an ounce of this injection brings active im- munity, Last week Raymond BD. Fosdick, president of the founda- tion, announced in his annual re- view of the organization's work that manufacture of this vaccine had gone into mass production' for the war's duration, . During 1041 the Army and Navy received about 1,920,000 free doses for tropical fighters. Other large shipments went, to, Africa, India, Brazil, and Singapore, bringing the total number of shots to 4, 260,680, or the virus output of 213,000 experimentally infected" eggs. Reminder to shortage-wor- ried housewives: the eggms were grade C, and anyway American hens lay about 2,750,000,000 dozen eggs each year. . To fight another age-old tropical disease, malaria, the foundation used- $2,000,000 and 2,000 workers to clean up 12,000 square miles of infested territory in Northeastern Brazil. As-a-conseguence, 1941 saw the region practically free of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gam- biae. Two scientists are now study- ing the extent and treatment of ~malaria in Trinidad, an import- ant American base. ; Newsweek. Scots Did It Much is heard these days about the "scorched earth" policy, says the St. Thomas Times-Journal, and it is spoken of as if the Chin- ese were the first to put it into effect against the Japanese at the beginning of the "China incident." The Scots did that, however, six or seven hundred years ago against the English. The latter had more men and were better armed, and when. they crossed the border the Scots retreated, taking with them the livestock and field products. The stuff that could . not be carried away was killed or burned. The result was that the invaders were soon obliged to go back for lack of food. It was this policy that enabled the Scots to - 80 often thwart their enemies. No doubt, "scorched earth" is much older than that. -~ - --audfence. HOW CAN I? Q. How can I re-glue the joints of furniture? A. The old glue which clogs the wood pores of joints to be re-glued prevents the new glue from setting firmly. When this happens, steam the surface of the part to be glued with a damp cloth and a hot iron. The joint will then be in excellent con- dition for the application of fresh glue. Q. How can I remove the black specks which sometimes form on silver? : -- A, By using a paste of whiting, that is free of grit, and olive oil; lightly polish with old silk. . IT the specks are obstinate, smear with the paste and leave it on for some time. 4 Q. How can I make a good salad dressing for cabbage or fresh green salads? A. A dressing can be quickly made by mixing powdered sugar in sour cream, with vinegar added to taste. Q. How can _I prevent kid gloves from smelling of perspira- tion? . A. When putting away the kid gloves after wearing them, shake a little taleum- powder into them. This will absorb any moisture that may- be lingering in the lea- ther and entirely remove that ob- jectionable smell of leather. Q. How can I promote the growth of houseplants? : A. Geraniums and. other house- plants that are kept in the win- ~ dows should be turned around frequently so as to promote the growth of well-rounded plants.

At the end of the week, one of the members handed over a donation of bs, 8d, all ia .threepenny pieces. = "Tell me, Jock," said the par. son, "how is it your contribution is in threepenny bits?" "Well, ye see, sir, it's my cus- tom to have three whiskies and * sodas every day, but as Wp were holding a self denial week I felt I musp give up something." Then, nodding towards the small coins, "These are the sodas, sir." Young Mother: "The land- lord called today, and I paid the month's rent and. showed him baby." Young Father (of crying baby): "Pity you didn't show ° him the sent and give him the baby.", MacTavish purchased a palr of boots, which were guaranteed for a year. After eleven iionths, he re- turned, and complained that they were not standing up to the guarantee. "Are you sure they fit you all right?" asked the manager, "They fit me a' richt," was the answer, "but my brother on night shift says they're a bit too tight for him." "You hammer nails like lightning." - k "You mean I'm a fast worker?" "No, youl never strike twice in the same place." Two cyclists pulled up for the night at a hotel, "Well, I think," said the host, "that you'll have a comfortable night. It's a feather bed." At two o'clock in the morning, one of the cyclists roused his companion, "Change places with"me, Dick," he groaned, "it's my turn to lle on the feather." "Good heavens, M'Pher- son, you've holed in one!" . "Aye! It saves wear and tear on the ball." At a bar dinner, Sam. Ewing, a lawyer and a great punster, 'was called upon for a song.

New Night Fighters Used By Germans A Berne "dispatch quoting the Berlin correspondnet of Die Tat said the Germans were using multiple-seated 'Diesel planes equipped with radio location ap- paratus as night fighters, The detection apparatus _ was said to determine the position and direction of attacking planes by picking up radio waves from the raiders' ignitions, The Ger- mans were said to besusing Diesel . motors so there would be no mag- neto interference with the de- tectors. Ontario At Peak Of Hog Production L! E. O'Neil, director of live- stock for Ontario, told the agrl- culture committee' of the Legisla- ture that the province now has reached the maximux In hog pro- duction considering the available feed. "We'll have to import more grain or cut down on production in other lines of livestock," sald Mr. O'Neil, The livestock director supplied the committee members with a table of figures on the swine in- dustry in which it was shown hog marketings in Ontario in 1941 to- talled 2,326,623. This was a little more than--on&third of the total marketings In Canada, With regard to the trend of pro- duction another table showed Western' Canada had a 26.8 per cent increase in 1941 over- that in 1940, while Eastern Canada. show. ed only 1.9 per cent"increase, Alberta, he sald, was now On. tario's greatest competitor in quan. tity of 'hog production and was pressing 'this province in the mad ter of quality.
