GREAT GAP MARKS MIDDLE TEMPLES BOMBING ATTACKS Historic Rooms British Writers Smashed in Nazi Raids London, Nov. 14--(CP) -- His- torical Middle Temple Hall, dam- aged heavily by a bomb during a recent air attack, was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1576 and it was re that Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" was performed for the first time by the playwright's own com- pany in 1601. . One end of the beautiful build- ing, one of London's most famous tourist attractions, has been wreck- ed and the whole structure has bten evacuated. Tht Inner Temple Hall nearby had been bombed previously. There is scarcely a building in these an- cient Inns of Court which does not bear the marks of bomb explo- sions. The bomb that mutilated the Middlt Temple Hall fell on the opposite side of Middle Temple Lane and also razed some of the buildings. There are two great ps facing the ruined end of the all. Works of Art Moved An official of the Middle Temple Treasury said most of the priceless works of art in the Hall, includ- ing portraits of Queen Elizabeth, Charles I on horseback, attributed to Van Dyck, and portraits of other sovereigns, and the valuable stained glass avindows, were re- moved at the start of the war. The double-hammered beam roof, one 'of the finest in Britain, and the famous panelling were dam- , however, for the bomb com- pletely destroyed the east wall. The Minstrels' Gallery has gone. Debris fell on the serving table said to have been made from Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, and the benchers' table reputed to have been the gift of Queen Elizabeth. Crown Office Row, where Charles Lamb was born, was damaged. Horace Wyndham, the author, had a narrow escape while sitting in the back room of his chambers. Other chambers were demolished. There were no serious casualties, but 12 persons were rescued from a damaged cellar. Brick Court, where Oliper Gold- smith died, has had its roof dam- and windows smashed. The rooms were the author of the "The Vicar of Wakefield" was visited by Dr. Samuel Johnson, who looked at the manuscript and sold it for £60 ($267) have no windows. The brickwork about thg commemor- ative plaque is chipped. Broken glass was found on the reputed tomb of Goldsmith by the Temple Church. A. rafter from Elm Court was hurled into Brick Court, some distance away. Parts of Goldsmith Buildings, Elm Court, and Essex Court also suffered. But behind the shuttered windows minus glass, typewriters of the law still click. Cables from the Dominions and the United States expresing sym- pathy have been received by the authorities. Reports Lindsay Lakes Restocked With Lunge Lindsay, Nov. 14--Reporting to the Victoria Yacht and Anglers' Associ- ation at the snnual meeting here, Secretary Roy Broom stated that the association has been successful this year in having local lakes re- stocked with maskinonge fingerlings for the first time. The fish 'have been supplied for placement in Sturgeon and Balsam Lakes in addition to the upper Scu. gog River, and Mr, Broom said it is expected the provincial department will increase the quota next year. . Approximately 20,000 were placed in Sturgeon Lake, 10,000 for the Sugog River and 20,000 for Balsam Lake. In addition 20,000 black bass fry were placed in the Scugog and 20,000 in Sturgeon Lake, he stated. University President Praises Chamberlain Toronto, Nov. 14 (CP)--Dr. H, J. Cody, president of the University of Toronto, paid tribute last night to the late Neville Chamberlain, in an address at a dinner given by the Ontario Dental Association to the American Dental Trades Associa- tion. He said Chamberlain was " a man of spotless character, who strove hard for peace." Dr. Cody stressed also the benefit derived by common ideals and com- mon language of the peoples of Can. ada and the United States. HOON AIRPORT 1S POSSIBILITY SAYS SCIENCE Humans of the Future Will Visit Other Planets, It Is Predicted 10s Angeles, Nov. 14--The moon, not so many centuries hence, prob- ably will be the earth's much-prized "airport" for rocket travel, When that time comes, if it does, scientists will have to live in big, suits probably will flock to the moon and build big telescopes of a size not dreamed of on earth. Whenever they take off their suits, the rocket men and the scientists will have to live in big, airtight caverns dug into the sur- face of the moon. They will breathe air shipped from the earth, or manufactured chemic- ally from the rocks on the moon. This peek at the moon's possi- bilities as sort of an "off-atmo- sphere" base for the earth is made by the scientists of Griffith Observ- atory in their monthly publication. They termed their forecast some- thing between "sober scientific description and fantasy." Rocket travel, in the first place, depends upon discovery of a proper fuel, but they said this problem "is not as fantastic as it sounds" and added: "Considering the marvels of scientific inventions during the past century, one is very much tempted to guess that shortly after the time that the human race has gained enough sense to live at peace, our scientists will provide the means of travel, and observatories upon the moon will become realities." When men learn to flit from earth to Venus, et cetera, the observatory suggests the moon doubtless will be- come an "Intermediate base" for big rocket ships. The moon has slight gravity pull compared to the earth; a man could jump like a giant grasshopper, and rocket ships could take off easily. Further, the moon has practically no atmosphere, hence there will not be the friction of air slowing down the rockets. Charge Soviet Put Restraint On Sailors San Francisco, Nov. 13--(AP)-- The Sailors' Union of the Pacific (American Federation of Labor) acting on complaint of the crew of the steamship North King, recently arrived from Vladivostok, called on the government today to "protect the liberty of American seamen" in Russian ports. Harry Lundeberg, Union secre- tary, said the union adopted a res- olution charging officials in the Siberian port with an "attempt to put American seamen in (Le cate- gory of slaves." Lundeberg sald the crew of the American freighter reported thelr liberties were drastically curtailed in Vladivostok. The men related that they were prohibited from go- ing ashore, denied 'the use of their radio, and forbidden to talk freely. @® This is the year of useful gifts -- particularly for those who serve--and there is no gift so greatly appreciated as a smooth- starting Waterman's.

Pilots flying in the orthodox sit- ting position would be more liable to "black out"--a loss of vision caused by an abnormally sharp movement which produces pressure inside the skull and acts on the blood vessels in the abdomen Dila- tion of these vessels withdraws blood from the brain iuto the ab- dominal pool but if the airman is lying down while . taking sharp curves there is less tendency for the blood to surge into the adominal pool. The correspondent did not be- lieve the prcne position would make much difference to the pilot's effi- ciency as a flier. He would be able to see everything below, above and around 'him. Mirrors might help him to see to the rear. Moreover, the prone position of the pilot would assiet the stream- line of the fuselage of the super- fighter in that it could be reduced in depth, made more rvunded, and possibly shortened.

LESS PERSONS GIVEN RELIEF GOUNGIL TOLD Big Reduction This Year as Compared With 1939, Lindsay Figures Show Lindsay, Nov. 14--A drastic reduc- tion in the number of relief recipi- ents in Lindsay this year as com- pared with the same period last year was reported by Chairman of Relief L. J.. Gordon to council Tuesday night. During October, 31 persons re- ceived relief as compared with 152 in the same month in 9 while expenditures totalled $318,.69 month in comparison to $757.33 in 1939. Cost to the town was $134.07 and $300.07 last year. Only increase was noted in the cost to the town per | capita of $4.07 this figure having been $1.98 in 1939 and the general | cost to the town per capita exclusive of the subsidies and chargebacks of | $9.66 which was $5.00 last year. Cost to the town to October 31st was $2,570.03 as compared with $7,048.52 in 1939. The total expendi- tures this year exclusive of charge- backs and subsidies amount to $7,- More Help 800.66 as compared to $19,042.53. This year the town has spent only a small proportion of its appropria. tion for relief of $6,000. In 1939 the | appropriation was $8,200. Council approved a by-law requir- ing all stores, offices and other places on' Kent Street, Lindsay's main thoroughfare and adjacent streets, to clear sidewalks before nine am. each morning after a snowfall, providing a penalty of $5 for persons failing to comply with these regulations. The matter of having Lindsay placed within the restricted rental zone under the supervision of Mr, Justice Martin was left in abeyance although several members reported that they had received complaints of increasing rents. "I cannot see why any objection | should be raised to having rents | increased to a reasonable level." said Ald. Gordon. "During the past few years rentals have been so low here. that landlords have been hard press- ed to pay their taxes and keep up repairs," Ald, C. E. Ferguson, Chairman of the Board of Works, was authorized to secure prices on a new truck for general purpose use. Tax collector Harry Wareham was authorized to secure legal assistance in a suit against a local resident for non-payment of taxes. Mayor Clax- ton pointed out that the ratepayer was objecting to the charge for sewers which the latter claimed to ' be illegal.

GAN LIGK ENTIRE WORL, SAYS LA GUARDIA Admits U.S. Getting Es- sentials of Modern War Together Rapidly Seattle, Nov. 14 (AP)--Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New York, chairman of the Canada-United States Joint Defence Commission, declared explosively here last night: "I'm still that kind of an Ameri- can who believes that we could lick the whole world if we had to." He made the retort when asked about the implications of a possible Russian and Japanese alliance with Germany. "At the same time, I have no illu- sions," added the New York mayor, who came here with other defence commission members on an inspec- tion tour. "I recognize that the whole technique of war has chang- ed. "To win a modern war a nation must have plenty of equipment, ample resources of supply and. a great reservoir of trained men. We are getting all of these so rapidly that I hope and believe we will not have to use them. "Nevertheless, they are essential. Military might is the only effective argument in international relations today." La Guardia and his associates ar. rived from the south by plane, dined, and then departed for Vic- toria, B.C. After inspections there and at Vancouver, the American members will return here Saturday and fly to New York that evening. KISS YOUR TIRED FEELING GOODBYE!

Altogether, 2,000 new poles will be placed, seven miles of cable and 400 circuit miles of wire strung. The work, now under way, will be com- pleted in the fall of 1941. It is estimated that 45,000 man-hours of labor are involved. Lines formerly operated by the Marysburgh Co. have been taken over and are being reconstructed. Later on, the Marysburgh exchange will be abolished and all calls han- dled through Picton exchange, elimi- nating the present tolls necessary to call Milford district. Rural lines will be ready to oper- ate on the common battery system next spring. Smaller and neater telephones will be installed in #omes of subscribers and the number of subscribers on each party line will be reduced to a maximum of 10. Additional facilities will be pro- vided on the switchboard at Picton exchange, according to G. W. Proce tor, district manager. Underground conduits will be laid on several streets in Picton with an overhead cable leading to Milford. Rural lines are being entirely reconstruct- ed and new copper wires will be erected from Picton to Cheérry Vale ley and Point Petre. Elsewhere, high tension steel wire will be used, permitting long spans between poles. The greater part of the contract has been let to James E. Dunfield of Carleton Place.
