FORMS 2-MAN (comic or 1 3 WAR CABINET op crc New Zealand Takes Two | Members of Opposition Into Fold Wellington, July 18.--New Zea-! land's Labor Government took two members of the National Party Op- position into the fold to form a War Cabinet which Prime Minister Si Hat Blew Over Face Car Driver In Crash Belleville, July 18 -- When her hat blew over her face while driving on the Bay Bridge Road south of Belle- ville Tuesday. Mrs. W. Jordan lost control of her automobile and crash- ed into the guard-rail. Several posts were broken off, and the car was badly damaged. While patrolling Tuesday in: the police cruiser, Constable William Evans discovered a garage owned by J. Beer had been entered. Inves- tigation revealed that two windows had been broken by the burglars, but the total loot amounted to only 85 cents, : MUST HAVE PROOF WORK 1S LACKING Peterboro Able Bodied Men to Get Relief From Week to Week Peterboro, July 18 -- No able- bodied man will receive any form of relief in Peterboro from now on, unless he is able to prove that he has been unable to obtain work. This is the substance of g decision reached at a conference between em. ployment and relief agencies of the city. Among those who took part in the conference were Relief Officer A. G. Metheral, Alderman Dutton, | chairman of the relief committee; | Fred McNeeley, district relief inspec- tor; W. H. L, Mellis, superintendent of the Employment Service of Can- ada; Mayor Hamilton, and several other members of the council. In future, relief vouchers will be issued to able bodied men for only a week at a time, and will ngt be renewed until proof has been fur- nished of the recipient's honest ef. forts to obtain work during the | week. These efforts will include calls at the employment office, where Mr. Mellis is stated to have more jobs listed than men. There is g dearth of farm labor at present, and men who refuse this form of employment need expect no further assitsance from the public | Peter Fraser described as a move | "to insure unity in counsel and action in prosecuting the war effort to the fullest in support of Great Britain. The War Cabinet will have five members. The Government mem- bers will be Mr. Fraser, Finance Minister Walter Nash and Defence Minister F. Jones. The Opposition will be represented by Adam Ham- ilton, leader of the Opposition and former postmaster-general, and J. G. Coates, former prime minister. In making the announcement, Mr. Fraser said the War Cabinet would control the Dominion's war effort, and that its decisions would be conclusive. The general Cabi- net will continue to function with regard to all other matters, the existing nfinisters retaining their portfolios. 'Any action necessary to obtain governmental co-ordination con- sequent upon the virtual existence of two cabinets will be taken by the prime minister in accordance with his constitutional position. "Formation of a War Cabinet," Mr. Fraser said, "will give a com- plete opportunity = for unity of action in war matters by the two political parties without disturbing existing arrangements with regard to Government control of the coun- try's affairs." He added that "this type of co- operative direction will meet -ef- fectively the needs of the difficult Jays ahead and inspire all to unite selflessly in the common task to sichieve victory." Mr. Fraser's statcment was pre- ceded by an announcement that the Cabinet had approved forma- tion of nine squadrons of mounted rifles for home defence, to be used in the hills, where mechanized units of the territorial force are unable to operate freely. Wellington Principal Named School Inspector Picton, July 18 -- The appoint- ment of Harry W. Brown, principal of the Wellington Consolidated School, as inspector of public schools in the North Bay district, was an- nounced Tuesday. During his stay at Wellington, Mr Brown has been active in the affairs funds. STATE OF MIND New York, July 18 -- Being fat is just a state of mind, and losing | weight is mainly a mental process, says one of the world's most famous | fat men, Alfred Hitchcock, the Brit- ish movie director. Three months ago, Hitchcock weighed 292 pounds. He now weighs 250 pounds. And he hopes in a year to be down to a neat 180. He has accomplished this by diet- Ing -- by eschewing two of his three huge meals a day and by cutting the third meal down to a meagre normal size, But it isn't the lack of food that has taken three inches off his walist- line, he insists. It's the mental an. guish, of the food he's missing. "It works," he says, "the same way cooks get fat, It's mental. People say, 'Oh, they're always tasting things . . .' But, that isn't the reason, You can't 'taste' a steak you're pre- paring for somebody else, can you?" "Hitch" is as famous for his food as for his unusual pictures such as "The 39 Steps," based on the book by the late Baron Tweedsmuir, gov. ernor-general of Canada. It is said that before he was getting $800,000 for five pictures in Hollywood, he would often borrow a pound (then $5) and spend it all on a lunch. Asks Generous Support Of Community Chests For Social Service Toronto, July 18.--A strong ap- peal for generous support of all Community Chests and Social Ser- vice Activities, is issued today in a bulletin to the clergy of the Church of England in Canada over the sig- nature of Rev. Canon W. W. Judd, general secretary of the Council for Social Service. The adequate maintenance of Children's Aids, Prisoner Welfare As- sociations, Institutes for Blind and Deaf, Service Club efforts for crip- pled and underprivileged children, Unemployed Hostels, public clinics, etc. is, says Canon Judd, a defense of the home front and one of the assurances of democracy. Taking a glance into the future, Canon Judd points out that pro- bably the problems which followed the last war will be intensified when the present conflict ends. "There will be broken homes, problem children, discouraged men and wo- men; there will be poverty, unrest, disgruntlement," he declares, as well as "vast need to help Britain, and *| ourselves by large scale immigra- tion." of the community, serving as secre- fary-treasurer of the Wellington War Emergency Committee, mem- ber of Star-in-the-East Lodge, A P.and AM, and of the United | Church, Mrs. Brown has been active | Red Cross and church work and served as district deputy grand matron, Order of the Eastern Star. "For all these reasons, therefore," Cancn Judd concludes, "there will Le great need for the social efforts of the community to be channelled through strongly entrenched socisl agencies, stragetically poised, ready for more advanced action. Church people must sustain them even !n the midst of war" standing rule against feminine passe of Prince Consort Felix and the child Elizabeth and Alix, and a few retainers. U.S. Warship Carrying Royal Refugees to America The United States cruiser Trenton which, according to official quarters, is en route to America from Lisbon, Portugal, with the family of the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg aboard. ngers on its warships to carry the royal evacuees.

Annenberg Gives $800,000 Check to | | | Officials Chicago, July 17--M. L. Annen- berg has paid the Government | $800,000 as the first instalment on the $8,000,000, plus interest, which the Philadelphia publisher agreed to pay in settlement of civil in- come tax claims, Carter H. Harrison, collector .of | the constant consciousness | internal revenue, announced simul- taneously with the opening of a | Federal Court hearing on Annen- | berg's plea for probation that a | certified check for $800,000 had | | been received. Another payment | of $200,000 was due by November 1. Three ~ Philadelphia physicians | were summoned by the defense to | testify before Federal Judge James berg's probation petition. Wilkerson on July 1st sentenced Annenberg to three years' impris- onment on his plea of guilty to evasion of $1,217,296 taxes on his | 1936 income, one count of an in- dictment that charged him with | failure to pay $5,548,384 in taxes, penalties and interest for 1932 to 1936. Testimony was similar to that in an affidavit given the court last | week, which said Annenberg had | sinus trouble, "a marked degree" of arterio-sclerosis and rectal trouble. William Campbell, United States attorney, filed an answer to the de- | | fense probation petition and assert- | ed the Government considered the | sentence * 'very fair" in view of the | magnitude of the case and that the defendant's showing as to his health and that of his wife, Sadie C. Annenberg, was "not sufficient to justify probation." GLAIMS CHARGE "PERSONAL ISSUE" | Lindsay Man Says Boys As- saulting Him Promised Immunity by Police Lindsay, July 18 -- Charges that Chief of Police R. H Lawler and Crown Attorney J, E. Anderson, K. Ci, were prosecuting him "on a personal issue," were levelled by James Healy, Lindsay resident, who appeared here on a charge of as- saulting, Mrs. Margaret Clydesdale, occasloning actual bodily harm. "I have been assaulted myself this year by boys who said that they had been sent by Chief Lawler, who told them that he would arrest me im-. mediately if I did anything to them," Healy claimed. "I am not going to allow this to degenerate into a mud-slinging con- 'test," declared Crown Attorney J. E. Anderson, K.C. "I gave Mr. Healy the opportunity of laying charges against these boys and he would not. I even went £0 far as to question Mr. Ambrose Haywood, who was present when the boys visited Healy, and he denied that they had as- saulted him." Healy applied for a week's remand until he could secure g lawyer and contact witnesses, requesting bail on his recognizance. "I have four houses and I will not run away," he said. Bail was set at $500, but the ac- cused was unable to raise it during the court session CANUCKS FOR FRENCH WARSHIPS According to Canadian Naval Headquarters it is possible some of- ficers of the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve now in England, at the disposal of the British Ad- miralty, may be assigned to French Warships taken over the Royal Navy. These officers were recently commended for "keenness and bear- ing." $61,000 GIFT TO WAR EFFORT The Finance Department has re- | ceived a single donation of $61,000 --the sum by which the donor's in- come war tax was reduced after de- ductions for contributions to charit- | able purposes were allowed.

Before the celebrations began the buses made at the big engineering works which turns out vehicles for London's passenger transport, ar- the Portuguese in them eers to instruct operating and maintaining in Portugal and the first of any type of bus to be aquired by the British owned Lisbon Tramways. They were purchased primarily to cope with the increased traffic celebrations. They incorporate many special features, including new device for ventilation, the reduction of exterior heat and the elimination of strong sunlight. Green predominates in the interior decorative scheme, the chief purpose of which is to give passengers restful surroundings some four million units of commodi- ties, including blankets, boots, bra- ces, housewives, shirts, socks, blouses and trousers, were ordered by the Department 'of Munitions and Sup- ply and delivered to Army, Navy and Air Force stores. DEMAND TRIPLES FOR DOCUMENTS OF BIRTH DATE National Registration Causes Flood of Pur- chases Toronto, July 18. -- Demand for birth certificates from the Regis- trar-General at Queen's Park has more then tripled, according to Acting Premier Harry Nixon, neces- sitating ten additional employees to cope with the rush. The demand is due to persons asking for birth certificates for use in the Government registration, employers asking for certificates to determine what employees they may lose in the registration and by those joining the army, Ordinary revenue of $4,000 a month for birth certificates and searches has jumped to $14,000, Mr. Nixon explained, due to the demand which started some time ago. At one time the staff was eight days behind in its mail answering requests from all parts of the province. Three extra rooms were required to accommo- date the ten additional members of the staff, four being obtained from the Public Works Department. Free searches are made for those Joining the army, while the regu- lar search plus a certificate costs $1.50 and an ordinary affidavit 50 cents. Mr. Nixon said several large employers, including a motor car manufacturing firm, have asked for certificates for all their employees, involving hundreds of birth certifi- cates, apparently estimating em- ployees they will lose under the military registration. Certificates are also sought by those applying for old age pensions and mothers' allowances. French Surgeon Commits Suicide Vichy, France, July 18. -- Count Thierry de Martel, France's most feemous surgeon, committed suicide the day the German army occupied Paris, it is now revealed. The Count, chief surgeon of the American Hos- pital in the Neuily suburb of Paris, committed suicide with an injection of strychnine. He left a message to United States Ambassador William OC. Bullitt, saying: "If I stay in Paris it is like putting a signed cheque in the enemy's hands. If I stay in Paris dead it is a cheque without funds. . Adieu." He was trapped in Paris by the German forces of occupetion because he promised his superiors that he would remain at his post. The Count became famous ie the Great War as a brain stgeon and was the originator of neuro- surgery.

A factory is being built for produc- ing yarns and is expected to be in [ production by the end of the year. The material is called nylon, a generic - term covering the whole family of synthetic compounds within its range. It can be pro- duced in filaments as fine as a spider's web, from which yarns can be spun, or it can appear as sheets, rods or stiff bristles for brushes. As a yarn, it is claimed to be stronger and more elastic than any textile fabric, including silk. Wo- men's stockings, sewing thread and underclothes of nylon are already arousing popular interest in Amer- ica. The stockings rival real silk rather than rayon, since they com- pare in fineness and elasticity and are sold in a comparable price range; but having threads which break less easily than silk of the same weight, they are not so likely to "ladder." In the form of bristles, nylon is now on the market in Britain for toothbrushes, one of its great ad- vantages being that the bristles do no fracture like hog's bristles, smd having smooth surfaces absorb only one-fifth of the moisture of "real" bristles, so that they do not be- come soggy « dirty in use. Even 'fishermen are benefiting from this new material, for it is available in fishing casts; compar- ed with silkworm gut, nylon has greater tensile strength and, need- ing no soaking to straighten it, is always ready for immediate use. --Robert Williamson, EXCHANGE 18 COMPLICATED BUSINESS Some idea of the complexity of the problems facing the Foreign Exchange Control, Board is gath- ered from the fact that it took of- ficials 'of the board 45 hours to ex- plain fully the general broad as- pects of foreign exchange control to 24 chartered accountants who were some time ago.
