The old-style, over-sized Cana- tdian five-dollar bills illustrate how keenly Canadians feel on the ques- tion of defeating Hitlerism and bar- barism. The donor wrote that the | bills were the last birthday gift of her .husband, a former prominent Canadian Pacific official, ten days | before he was stricken by a .fatal | illness. "I never had the courage | to spend it; now I send it as a di- rect contribution from him to the Golden Bomber fund for the cause |of justice and freedom," she said in her letter to the headquarters | committee. She made this gift on the anniversary of her husband's birthday. Although most of the gifts are |old gold, at the committee's request another cash gift was not refused | | when accompanied by a letter say- ling "as IT have not any bits of gold I am sending a small cheque which I trust will be of some use in teach- ing Hitler a lesson."

A company officer has given some fine pieces of jewellery including a pair of shirt studs, he says that these were in his grand- mother's jewel case and he used to admire them as a boy. They were then more than 100 years old.

Instead, each specimen, more than 32,000 of them. is prepared in a compact form for ready reference and convenient storage. "Collections such as the Fleming collection are the reservoir from which facts will be read by scien- | tists for countless years to come," said L. L.
