His plane was shot down by Brit- ish Spitfires in a fight over North- eastern England. Mrs. Nora Cardwell's husband, away from home at the time, said afterward: "I think she did very well." But Mrs. Cardwell, five feet eight inches tall, didn't want to make a "song and dance" over what she called "the affair." She just marched up to the Ger- man, demanded his gun and sent him hustling along to internment when help came later. "I was convinced he was a para- chutist when I saw him floating to the ground", she said. "I went straight to the telephone but it was out of order. So I told a boy to 80 (1332) on bicycle for the police, "I thought if he was a parachut- ist it was best to tackle him right away. There were two or three people about but they didn't do anything. "So"I put on my fiercest frown and walked up to the man. I felt tiny beside him." She said the German must have been at least six feet tall. "But I could see he was terri- fied. He looked green." She said when she first looked at the German she thought he was unarmed -- but when she reached him she saw he had a pistol. She pointed to the gun and de- manded: "I want it." She got it. And after that she marched him off to await the police.

ING ANNOUNCES CABINET LINEUP Includes Three New Men, With New Portfolios for Three Ministers Ottawa, July 9.--Prime Minister | Mackenzie King yesterday an- nounced his Cabinet reorganization for which the country has waited many weeks, and revealed it to have been effected entirely on partisan lines, He announced a Cabinet reshuf- fle that brought portfolios to three and shifted responsibilities to the shoul- ders of three present Ministers. The cnly appointment made from out- | side the House of Commons was | Angus Macdonald, | Liberal, Premier of Nova Scatia, | who will become Minister of Na- | tional Defense for Naval Affairs. | Other Cabinet appointments in the shakeup were as follows: Minister of Finance--Hon. J. L. Ilsley. Minister of National Revenue-- Hon. Colin Gibson (Liberal Hamil- ton West). Postmaster-General--Hon, W. P.| Mulock (Liberal York North). Minister of Public Works Transport--Hon. P. J. Cardin, Minister of National War Serv- ices--Hon. J. G. Gardiner. Howe Cardin Divide Up Hon. C. D. Howe who has held both Transport and Munitions and Supply portfolios relinquishes the former title but will continue to administer gll matters pertaining to air and radio. Mr. Cardin in his new capacity, takes over rallways and marine in addition to his pres- ent portfolio of Public Works, and Mr. Gardiner will remain Minister of Agriculture for a short time at least. The Cabinet changes were an- nounced by Mr. King in the course of an address lasting more than an hour and a half. For the first sixty minutes the Prime Minister divided his time almost equally between one line of argument intended to justi- fy his departure from previous! announced plans and another whic sought to indicate that the Cabinet changes represented expansion and enlargement, and not merely a re- shuffle of portfolios.

V. Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, announced in the House of Commons today. Press reports came in from Alex- andria while Mr, Alexander was speaking and said that French naval units in that Mediterranean base had submitted to a British ulti- matum. The French agreed to de- militarize their ships, make them unseaworthy and send all but skele- ton crews back to France. The British Government guaran- teed supplies and the pay of men running the maintenance of the French ships at Alexandria, and also their return to France at the end of the war. Running the blowing risk of | themselves up, British seamen took a small boat through the outer de- harbor to plant depth charges under the stern of | the Richelieu, which was the most formidable battleship in the world, and damaged her propellers and steering apparatus. A few minutes later aircraft of the Fleet air arm flew low over the harbor to drop torpedoes in the | shiny new warship flying the French Both attacks were success- has a heavy list to port and is down by the stern, obviously in no condi- tion to be used by Hitler and Mus- solini, The tricolor.

Conant Plans Inspection of Civil Guards On Wednesday Oshawa's Voluntary Civil Guard will receive officiel recognition from Attorney-General G. D, Conant to- morrow evening when they hold their second parade. Hon. Mr. Con- ant will inspect the Oshawa unit which numbers in excess of 200 men and will present the men with their distinguishing arm bands. The unit has been called to par- ade at the Armouries ai 8:00 p.m. by Lieut.-Col. R. B. Smith, com- manding officer and from that point the Guards will march to Me- morial Park where the men will be inspected by Mr, Conant. Arm bands will then be given to the men fol- lowing which the Attorney-General is expected to address the assembly. Arrangements heve been com- pleted through the co-operation of Don Christian to have Hon. Mr. Conant's address audible to every- one through the medium of a pub- lic address system. It is expected that the proceedings at the park will commence at about 8:30 p.m. Interest in the Civil Guards con- tinues keen with many inquiries from civilians who do not qualify for enrolment through the two classes of men accepted. So far only ex-service men or men with pre- vious militia training have been en- rolled.' Col. Smith expressed the opinion that if civilians generally were accepted that there would be no difficulty enrolling a unit of 1,000 men. GUT ABLE-BODIED MEN OFF RELIEF, ORDERS ONTARIO Instructions Issued by Act- ing Premier Harry Nixon Today; Not Aiding War Toronto, July 9.--Men who can work must get off the rellef rolls and take gq job. This was the order issued today by Hon. Harry Nixon, acting Pre- mier. The order applies to everyone who is capable of doing a day's work, At the present time there are approximately 10,000 heads of fam- ilies on the rolls and 44,000 persons are receiving relief. "A man on relief is not contrib- uting to winning the war," Mr. Nixon declared. "There's a lot of work to be done. These fellows will have to play their parts. And if they're drones in the hive, they'll have to be turned out." In brief, Mr. Nixon declared, there is work to be done and those on relief must turn in and do it, particularly because of a shortage of farm labor and trained workmen in war industries. The governmen- tal policy will be worked out grad- ually; first steo was the removal from relief of families of two who were physically fit and declared able 'o work. With this move insti tuted, relief officials are now noti- fying those on relief that there are Jobs awaiting them and they must take them. Already, Mr. Nixon explained, (Continued on Page 8, Col. 5) English Mother Tells Of Air Raid Troubles Plea to Brother Working in Oshawa Brings Quick Action -- Despite Hor-! rors Asserts "End Will| Be in Our Favor" Another personal call for assist- ance in solving the child evacuation problem in England has been an- swered favoredly by an Oshawa workingman.
