" § Then she got on a train, taking er to the country, while her hus- sand stayed behind at his work in city. " That epitomized London's spirit three days of smashing Ger- n gir raiG. London could still take it -- take it with a smile and a joke. ® Today an exodus from London of "women and children was in progress. 'But not of men. From "City" © stockbroker to bootblack they were | donning tin helmets, hiking to work "and, as the British always put fit, "carrying on." a Train After Train ! Trains are evacuating women and children by the thousands. At one main railroad terminus train after train pulled out, packed with refu- gees. Most of them were regularly scheduled trains, but they were leav- ing in two end even three sections. i The highways around London : were filled with automobiles, trucks : and vans carrying the women and children to safer havens in the country. Some of the trucks were piled 'high with bedding, pots and pans and odds and ends of furniture. But there were no men in this exodus, not even old men. te cul One World War veteran, Arthur ing Blake, 46, said good-bye to his wife da} and three children. As the nt th train pulled out, he said: "That's a good job done. Now I "have only myself and the cat to think about. Instead of gathering Fup my family every night and tak- 'ing them to the shelter and watich- ! 'ing their nerves gradually break J. under the stress of the bombing, I scan act as I please. "Believe me, the bombings will 'have to get a lot worse before I crack. Hitler can send all he's got and so long as we give Berlin a pasting. I won't worry too much now 'that the wife and kids are out of the way." You could see that spirit in the "City" today. The "City" is the an- cient inner London where the fin- 'ancial district is established. It is the British Wall Street. Bank presidents, insurance execu- tives saad clerks walked to work side by. side. They wore their war out- fits--tin hats, gas masks over their shoulders, walking shoes, puttees or military breeches. 'They walked past streets roped off while workers cleared One important intersection was blocked by a huge bomb crater. Life went on as usual at Caaadian the Hudson's Bay Company. The duck-billed platypus is one of the very few animals which is hatched from an egg stated Mr. Bell. It is unique in that it has a spur on its leg which can exude a poison like a snake bite and is born with teeth but letter loses them. One of the most interesting animals is the otter. This little fel- low will play by the hour by himseif or in company with its fellows. This is one of the few animals which does this, the speaker said. Its skin, of course, is very valuable in commerce. A Wasteful Killer One of the most vicious and dan- gerous members of the animal king- dom is the wolverine, the speaker stated, and a close second comes the weasel. These animals will kill at all times, but the wolverine eals only four meals a month and the rest of his kill is wasted. "I have known a wolverine to come into a camp and absolutely wreck the place, scatter the contents all around, apparently with no other motive than destruction," Mr. Bell told his listeners. The racoon, noted for his clean habits of washing his feet, and the muskrat which is found in all sec- tions of the country, were two other importzat fur-bearers mentioned by the speaker. The Persian lamb actually does not come from Persia, Mr. Bell told his listeners, but is obtained from the Karacu sheep. The lambs are killed for their fur shortly after birth. The silver fox, he described as a freak in nature. Todey it is | raised commercially and has been | developed by careful breeding. A few years ago a pelt sold for $2,100 | but today the average price is $50. The plating fox, a near relative, is very valuable. A coat now being made for Pauline Goddard from this fur that will cost $100,000. Mr. Bell also described club a number of interesting periences which he had while gaged in trapping years ago. The speaker was introduced by Rotarian R. G. Grobb, and a vote of thanks was tendered by Rotarian S W. Keowen. Mr. Bell brought greet- ings to the Whitby Club from the West Toronto Kiwanis Club. He was accompanied by W. B. Chishold. Another guest was R. M. Deverell of Whitby. $800 From Street Fair Rotarian Jim Cowie reported tha ex for the | | | | er | | { | | | | en- | { | | | | Smyth was both surprised and de- | $800 had been realized by the Street | Fair held this year. This wes an in- crease of almost $300 over that received the previous year. Mr Cowie asked Mr. Deverell to take | President Don Wilson up debre | banks where a number of windows | had been shattered by an explosion None of the staff was working at | that time, however. Canada House, | Cansgdian military headquarters, | Canadian Pacific and Canadian Na- | and other the west tional Railways offices, 'Canadian rondezvous in end were all intact. PECULIAR HABITS OF WILD ANIMALS INTERESTING TOPIC (Cohitinued from from Page 1) demand for seal skins was develop- ed. The search for seus has continued and hzs been the subject of many treaties ¢*ad distputes between tie Jarge nations engaged in their cap- ture. Big Land Stal Alaska was purcha:z41 by the United states in 1237 for $7,000,000. "This, in my opinion, is the biggest Jeead steal in history," Mr. Bell quot- ed, "because the Uni ted States has made thet much out of the seals alone that have been tek<n"in these waters, to sav nothing of the min- eral wealth later discc ered." The United States his n treaties for the protection and conservation of the seals with Britain and Japan s0 that useless killing has now been minimized. In describing the life history of the seals the speaker stated that the bulls or males come to the islands in August zd locate a spot for their future home. Later comes the cows, 48 the females are known, and each bull acquires a harem of 50 to 75 . fémales which he considers his per- sonal pronerty and to be defended to the death. A little later the one- year-old young seals ¢ rive and also take their place in.the various harems. The breeding season lasts for ten weeks and, believe it or not, ve young seals have to learn how to swim, the sreaker explained. He added that the grecest killer of seals is. not man but the Kkiller- whale, the shak, and the octopus. Other animals are of great value to the Canad! an furrier for their all Te de Po) Lei beaver, emblematic of Canada, play- via. : pzit in the development ef the country in the early days in the rz21ns of trade and in the deve- lohrzent of railroads.

ALL-GANADIAN LABOR GROUP AND G10. BODY MERGE (Continued from Page 1) and not with the laboring people He declared British Columbia unions had expelled members on the same basis as that proposed to the Congress and that "as a result the labor organizations on the coas: were split! wide open." Seek Fifth Columnists "Everyone knows that had not the | Sov jet Union double-crossed the de- mocracies at the last minute, the rade union movement in France, Belgium, Holland and Finland would still be in existence today," aid Murray Cotterell of the Retail Store Employees Union and secre- tary to Charles Millard, Canadian C.1.0. secretary. At the heat of the debate A. R. Mozher, president, adjourned debate -n the resoluticn during the noon hour to obtain legal opinion as to wheiher those voting against it would come under suspicion of the law. At the start of the afterncon session the resclution was approved with a minor change. The Congress decided to take ac- tion against "the activities of pro- pagandists, spies, traitors and sabo- teurs operating as enemy. agents directed toward arousing opposition to necessary defense measures." The executive of the Congress was in- structed "to study the various mani- festations of fifth column activities employed by totalitariar. govern- ments against democracies as well as the activities of individuals and powerful groups of ves'ed interests in our Dominion." President Mosher said "persuasive powers" applied to members of the smaller, dual union would result probably in them joining the larger unien when they realized its great- er benefits. "But we're not going to use force to bring that about-- just methods short of force," he' sald. J. Starr objected that delegates "sitting here to decide a joint pol- icy" might later go out in the or- ganizing field "and try to slit each other's throats." over DIED IN MONTREAL James A. Herm, a former resident of Oshawa, has passed away in Montreal, according to word receiv- ed in the city to-day. The funeral will be held from the parlors of the Luke Burial Company, on Thurs- day afternoon at 2:30 pm. with interment in the Union Cemetery. | worked answered revzill | |it was a meal of Cook Gower could well be | | | | | pleasure with King George Shares Ruthless Nazi Bombing With His People Sharing the ruthless Nazi bomb- ings of civilian London with his people, the King is shown, LEFT, consoling East Londoners whose bomb-wrecked homes -may be seen in the background.

Pirst of all, 8am found himself in this city on Saturday, and in some manner had a fall that re- sulted in one broken leg. Picked up on the street by a kindly motoris; he was delivered to the police sta- tion. "We have a man outside here with a broken leg," announced Plainclothesman Frank Fawbert to Chief Constable Owen D. Friend. "Take him to the hospital," the Chief ordered. "We'd do better to take him to a carpenter," the officer replied. Sam had broken a leg all right, but it was made of wood. Given a night's lodging at the police station, Sam started for home on Sunday following repairs to his limb by handy members of the Fire Department, Sunday night he was back at the police station, this time suffering from abrasions to his face and arms. He had fallen again. Monday morning he was sent on his way again, but this time in the company of officials from the To- ronto home to which he was traced. OUTLINES GROWTH AT KIWANIS CLUB (Continued from Page 1) only rights ever yielded by the Company, have been given up voi- untarily. Mr. Henley went on to briefly out- line the various phases in the growth of the company, including such items of chief importance the union with the Northwest Com- pany in 1821, the Deed of Surrender in 1869 and the beginning of the change from trading posts to sales shops and later departmental stores, which started with the rapid growin and development of Western Can- ade, in the period leading up to 1014. Wide-Spread Coverage The speaker then went on to give a summarized view of the territory, served and covered by the Hudson's Bay Company, from the Head Office in London, England and the North American Offic: in Winnipeg, to the smallest trading posts in the fev-flung regions of the Arctic and Barren Lands. Mr. Henley also gave an outline of the fur trade department, one of the several departments within the company andy the department in which he himself is actively inter- ested. The kind of furs, means of obtaining the pelts and other phetses of the fur trade business were de- scribed in brief.
