Tea Is Becoming Favorite Drink Of Troops Abroad Ottawa, Oct. 11--Canadian sol- diers overseas have developed a fondness for tea and are imbibing in the national beverage of the Old Sownuy with typical British regul- arity. Tea drinking has become such a custom among the men, in fact, that the overseas organization of the Canadian Legion War Services is putting into operation early next week another mobile van to follow the troops during route marches and night manoeuvres when they are away from their own regimental kitchens. Hot tea, which is served free of charge, is greatly appreci- ated, especially now that cooler weather has arrived. According to Captain Charles W. Evans, overseas manager of the CLWS., the van will also carry supplies of cigarettes, candies and cakes. It will be in charge of Cap- tain the Rev. W. T. H. Cripps, form- er rural dean at Red Deer, Alta. who is one of the 10 Legion super- visors now with the 1st and 2nd Canadian Divisions, HEADS NETTERS, © © 1, Oct. 11, -- Mac Mac- =m rlanted president in"scn Club. 3s.

So, for the benefit of the lads who will soon be doing their turn under the new training scheme, we reproduce a few items here, with accompanying "expla nations. First of 'all the C.O. is Com- manding O fficer. 2 l-c stands for seeond-in-command. A Col. is, of course, a colonel, and a Lt.-Col. is lieutenant-colonel; a Capt. a cap- tain; a Comdt. a commandant; a Comdr. a commander; a Brig. is not a boat but a brigadier; a C.Q. MS. is 'a company quartermaster- sergeant; C.8.M. company ser- geant-major; Cpl, corporal; Bdr., bombardier. Before we forget, D.O.C. means district officer commanding, and G.S.0. general staff officer.

We often read in the paper of houses burning down due to defec- tive wiring. How can a person find out whether or not he has defective wiring in his house? Defective wiring is a convenient expression often used when the real cause of fire cannot be discov- ered. Tlectric wires are usually unted within the walls of a se, and in that location they're well protected The wires them- are likely to be safe because all witing is inspected when it is installed.

Pumpkins Scarce In Picton District Picton, Oct. 11--A poor crop of pumpkins has resulted in the price jumping from $5 a ton to $15, and canners are competing with one an- other in order to secure sufficient to fill orders. The late spring re- sulted in a smaller acreage being planted and early frosts prevented full, growth. The early frosts, thousands of bushels of tomatoes, has brought a market for small tomatoes which formerly were wast- ed. Canners are offering forty cents a bushel for these, making them into tomato puree or juice. Though overseas markets are cut off, canners state there is a good market in Canada for canned goods and several factories will can late plums and apples, while spoiling KEATING SOLD TO BISONS Saint John, Oct. 11. -- Jackie Keating, who played for Syracuse Stars in the International-Ameri- can Hockey League last season, has been sold to the Buffalo Bisons of the newly-named American Hockey League, Keating received word Thursday from an official of the Buffalo clup to renort at "iagara Falls, Ont, for training ea ly next week. them- | leaving the task of fending | island | Great | mutual defence pact | That havpens when the | | housewife forgets the iron and goes has been | turned off by snapping a wall light | erican defence bases in British wes- tern hemisphere possessions.

R. O. Alexander, D.S.O. General Alexander, who is now in command of Military District No. 2, Toronto, will be responsible for co-ordinating all forces at the coast for internal measures and for protection of military points in an area which comprises the whole of British Columbia and Alberta, All services have largely increased thel rforces at the Pacific since Japan joined the Axis. The three Ministers of Defense have visited British Columbia personally. and Naval Minister Angus L. Macdonald has not yet returned from his Western tour. ' In addition to the cpast guard units that have been on duty in the fortresses at the coast, more mili- tary units have recently been moved there, It is expected that a whole division will be concentratead in British Columbia in the same way that the Third Division is now In the Maritimes. No Chances Taken Creation of the Pacific command follows within forty-eight hours Canada's cutting off of copper ex- ports to apan. With the situation Rrowing 'more serious in the Far East, no chances are being taken. The Pacific fortresses were start- ed before the Atlantic fortifications | would complete alignment. What the eventual result will be, one can predict. One thing is certain, however. If the present trend is continued, a mighty Eng- virtually no ed.

The new command will direct strictly operational ac- tivities, as distinct from training activites. General Alexander, as a perma- nent force offcer, has a long and brilliant record. His promotion to the rank of Major-General came early this year, and was a recogni- tion of the importance of the To- of the largest military districts and the big military training centre at Camp Borden. A slim, grey-haired man with a brisk manner, General Alexander is 52. H~ was born { ylon. His service in the Canadia@f Army dates back to 1910, when he joined the Royal Canadian Regiment.

Martyn and circus impresario Col. Bob Morton revealed that 50 per- cent of the Rameses Temple circus profits this year would be handed over to the Minister of National De. fence to help Canada win the war. The remaining 50 percent will go into the special benefit fund for crippled and needy children. a work which the Shrine has carried on successfuly for years. In addition, it was stated. Col. Morton has agreed to give 50 per- cent of his profits as well to. the National Defence and will buy Can- adlan war bonds with his remain- ing 50 percent. When ysked what this year's pro- gram would include, Col. Morton found it difficult to restrain him- self. With the tremendous enthus- fasm he invariably dfSplays as ring- master of the "world's largest pro- fessional jndoor three-ring circus," he exclaimed: "Thie year's circus is without doubt the best ever. In fact, it's stupendous. We're going to have 60 new sensations. There will be stellar acts from the Ringling and Barnum galaxy, daring and "death-defying thrillers, 30 beautiful Broadway girls in a heauteous dancing ballet, the largest Broad- way dancing and acrobatic revue ever presented with any circus, dar- ing aerialiste, beautiful riding girls, amazing performing elephants, fun- ny clowns, acrobatic tumblers, trained ponies, wild tigers. Therell bz thrills galore in this gigantic ag- gregation that is without doubt the bast show on earth." As a special "after show" or con- cert feature, Morton announced that the "Lone Ranger," the origin- al motion picture star, would ap- pear in person with "High Ho Sil- ver," his famous horse, and a large company. Illustrious Potentate Martyn de- clared that the Shrine's motto this year was "Be A Daddy to A Needy Orphan Kiddic," becausz they want to take every orphan, every crippled and underprivileged child to the c.rcus this year. "This is the cnly way I know," he said, "in which kind-hearted pecple can help Canada win the war, bring fun and happiness to kiddies who need and deserve it, and have ga lot of fun themselves at the same time." PREPAID CARE 1S CONSIDERED BY HOSPITALS 'Toronto, Oct. 11--The proposal to sponsor and operate prepaid hos- pital care -- a non-profit hospital service available to employee groups throughout the Province--was the main topic of interest and business as the seventeenth annual three- day convention of the Ontario Hos- pital Assocition got under way here. The prepaid hospital care plan, already approved by the O.H.A. ex- ecutive, goes before the general meeting, and on Friday will go back to the executive with power to act. Under the proposed plan & sub- scriber would pay fifty cents per month for twenty-one days' hos- pitalization in public or semi-pub- lic wards and the services of a doc- tor of his own choice, Similar ser- vice for the subscriber's entire fam- fly would cost another fifty ce.its per month. If such subscriber dc- sired better accommedation, he would get an allowance of $325" daily for twenty-one days on his' hospital bill. The plan also has cnother scale of fees entitling a subscriber pay- ing seventy-five cents pes month to a semi-private hospital room. Fee for his family would be ancther seventy-five cents. Allowance for more costly accoraraodation under this scale of fees is $5.2% dally. Officers of the O.H.A. stated the- plan will be promoted in one of two ways: 1, The O.HA. may become incorpor-ted as a body to operate as a special committee that would include representation from 'he On«; tario Medical Association snd from districts. in Ontario which have hospitals participating in the plan. 2, The O.H.A. may promote organs. ization of a speci~1 corporation to administer the plan. . It is proposed to limit members ship in the plan to employee groups' and their families, A minimum of 60 per cent of the group working for any employer or organization' will be required to enroll in the case of large employee groups y a higher percentage for smaller groups, If put into operation -- and this seems certain, O.-HA. officers say. --the plan will prcbably be launch-. ed first in Toronto and then e tended to other communities, C.

R. Haskell, General Manager of the Toronto Better Business Bureau. "Dimes and dollars are continuing to pour into th» hands of hundreds of schemers who are masquerading, during this critical period of our history, under the guise of Patrio- tism." "While the public are only too happy to contribute to worthy causes, these slick and sly indivi- duals are waxing fat on the pro- ceeds of their fraudulent schemes. Interested only in the satiation of their own avarice, they leave a trail of anguish and financial loss behind them ac a result of their nefarious operations." "The next time", continued Mr. Haskell, "that you are asked to give away part of your herd-carned money, communicate with the Bu- reau first, and you will save youre self from embarrassment and loss, In other words, Before you Gilve-- Get the Facts." In conclusion Mr. Haskell stated that "Co-operation by the Bureau with various Government and Poe licing bodies in the preparation of adequate protective legislation has very materially helped to reduce this form of racketeering and has put many of these human jackals behind the bars, The series of broadcasts snonsored by the Toron- to Better Business carly this year did much to awaken public interest in the work being done to protect the public at no cost to them.
