THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER Re 1940 PAGE FIVE T---- Nazi Blitz "Bad," But Not Crippling To British War Industries England Prepared For Such Tactics, Spread Vital Industries in Shadow System in 1938 London, Nov. 27.--The new Ger- man air strategy of concentrating all-night "blitz" raids on one indus- trial town after another is hurting but not crippling Britain's muni- tions industry, according to the best informed persons here. Two years ago, Britain began preparing for such tactics. by spreading out vital industries in a "shadow system." It has been de- veloped now to the point where no single factory is the only supplier of any one essential weapon or part of a weapon. In most cases, sever- al factories produce the same ma- terials. Only a few officials know the true extent of industrial damage by German raiders. Any correspond- ent who did would not be permitted to tell it. But the general impres- sion is given that the situation is bad but not critical. In addition to the "shadow sys- tem" defense, anti-aircraft guns keep the German planes so high that they cannot bomb with accur- acy even if they can spot an import- ant plant. Kept. Up High It is claimed that most of the night raiders fly 18,000 to 20,000 feet and keep just as high over the Mid- lands towns as they do over better- protected London. The raid on Coventry is conceded to have been disastrous, but there is no indication that any other town has suffered such a ferocious assault. A few cases are known in which important British munitions fac- tories were badly damaged within the past few months and now have resumed full production. There have been other cases in which damage to plants appeared so great at first glance that it was desirable to rebuild elsewhere, but they were finally repaired nevertheless, and are now back in partial production. Could Move Overseas Future production everywhere is a problem which threatens to be- come worse as the war drags through the weary months. How- ever, as a last resort, Britain could move her factories overseas, and the Germans also taking heavy blows from British night raiders, have no such escape, unless they assume all the difficulties of putting up fac- tories deep in Russia. German in- dustry is expected to have worse problems when the British get their new longer-range bombers into play. It is admitted also that the Ger- mans U-boat and airplane bldckade is causing Britain serious concern, but the blockade also works both ways, and the British claim to be making better use of it. Britain has another advantage in Canadian and other Empire pro- duction, and {in a constantly grow- ing stream of new planes, guns and shells from the United States. Leading bankers and economists here believe that the United States soon will have to decide whether to underwrite British war purchases, NEW BARRISTER PETER LEVINE, BA. Son of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Levine of Whitby who was called to the bar at Osgoode Hall last week. He has had a distinguished career in his law studies, and that the statement of Lord Lothian, British Ambassador to the United States, that Britain was nearing the end of her dollar re- sources, was intended to bring that subject up. Some American ob- servers here believe Lord Lothian made his statement with the ad- vance knowledge of the United States Treasury Department. GANYOU TELL SAILOR'S RANK BY HIS GOAT? Even a Button or Two Makes a Distinction By FRANK FLAHERTY Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Nov. 27--(CP)--Cana- dians are slowly becoming navy- conscious as the nation's fighting fleet expands in numbars of ships and men to meet the needs of war and are learning something of the uniforms and insignia of the serv- ice. Three types of uniforins are worn in the navy respectively by com- missioned officers, peity officers and ratings having special trade qualifications and by seamen Rat- ings are all naval personnel who are not commissioned officers. The commissioned officers wear a suit of dark blue with double breasted coat, brass hittons and white collar and black tie. = Their rank is indicated by gold bands on the sleeve near the cuff. If the band is plain and straight it indicates the officer is a perman- ent navy man. A wavy band indi- cates the wearer is a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Volun- teer Reserve who does full-time naval duty in° war but pursues some civilian activity in peacetime. A criss-cross band denotes a mem- Reserve, who works in the merch- ant marine in peacetime. Matter of Butions Petty officers and certain other ratings with specialist qualifica- tions wear a uniform somewhat si- milar to commissioned officers ex- cept that their coat has three but- tons instead of four. Their rank and trade qualifica- 'tion is indicated by badges on the cap above the peak, on the sleeve or on thas collar. Signalmen, tele- graphists, motor mechanics, engine- men, artificers, shipwrights, wri- ters, victualling assistants. cooks and sick berth hands all rate this uniform. Finally there is the familiar out- fit of wide trousers, jumpers and round cap, worn hy all other naval personnel, the seamen. Wearers of this outfit are buglers, ordinary seamen, able seamen and leading seamen. The next step up from a leading seaman is a patty officer and the next after that, chief pet- ty officer. All seamen wearing this uniform wear hat bands: stamped with the name of the ship to which they are attached, if they were members of the ship's complement, gefore war started, Since the war hatbands carry only the initials HM.C.S, and when the old name-bearing hat- bands wear out they will be re- placed by those not giving the name of the ship. In summer the navy changes from blues to whites if the climate warrants it. The commissioned of- ficer's uniform has a coat with a high tight-fitting collar and on it the marks of rank are worn on the shoulder strap instead of on the sleeve as in the case of the stand- ard blue uniform. During six months of the year, whether in whites or biue, the of- ficer wears a white top to his cap. The dates for wearing it vary in the northern and southern hemis- pheres. At the same period ratings change from blue to white caps. An officer's winter greatcoat car- ries his rank on the shoulder as on his summer whites, instead of on the sleeve, as on the service dress. USING MORE TIN London, (CP)--Consumption of tin in the United Kingdom totalled 18,496 tons in the first seven months of 1940, against 12,652 tons in the corresponding period of 1939, an in- crease of 46 per cent. ber of the Royal Canadian Naval |' MARY COWIE Daughter of Sergeant-Major Charles Cowie, now overseas with the Canadian army, and Mrs. Cowie, who was awarded the Whitfield trophy and Nelson shield as the most outstanding pupil in Whitby High School as determined by a vote of the students.

RAPS COBOURG FOR CRITICISM Town in Same Position as Many Others in Lack of War Industries Cobourg, Nov. 27.--Reply of W. A. Fraser, Liberal MP. for Northum- berland County, to the resolution of Town Council criticising him and the government for the fallure of Cobourg to receive any war indust- ries, was read to the council. In view of the fact, however, that the letter from Mr. Fraser was ad. dressed to Alex Young, town clerk, and not to the mayor and council, it was decide it be not recorded in the minutes. Mr. Fraser's letter expressed won- der that the council should be con- cerned s0 much over the town not receiving war industries when the war itself was so serious and de- served so much attention. Political pressure had no place in Canada's war effort, it said. Cobourg was in the same position as Chatham and dozens of other places which had re- ceived no war industries. Nor had Sarnia, Napanee, Belleville, or other centres been chosen for war manu- facturing. In some places established industries had been turned over to war purposes and in the other in- stances experts had decided where best to build war factories. No town had had more attention than Co- bourg during the past ten years, stated Mr. Fraser's letter in regard to his representation of the county in the House. Said Councillor Joe Delanty, mover of the resolution, in comment "The whole letter of Mr. Fraser sounds silly. I have come to the conclusion that Mr. Fraser knows less of Cobourg than I suspected. I move that we frame it for future reference. At any rate, Mr. Fraser should have shown the courtesy of addressing his letter to the mayor and council instead of to the town clerk." Letter from Mrs. J. W. Spragge asking for town assistance, through the town truck and workmen, in picking up materials left for the sal- vage campaign, was referred to the Streets Committee. Major L. T. Burwash, local president of the Red Cross, spoke briefly, pointing out that a group of young women of the town were working hard in getting the salvage but lacked transporta- tion facilities to bring the materials to the sorting depot. Council granted the request of the local Business Men's Association that Boxing Day be held on Decem- ber 26th this year. Permission was granted the Midland Regiment the use of the Opera House for practise for the minstrel show which "A" Company of the Regiment is pre- senting next month. HAD LONG RECORD * London.
