Under the direction of Col. William G. Brey, of San Francisco, General Staff Corps, the treasure that failed to conquer the world is being evaluated.

X-ray Film Library Is World's Largest Ottawa, Jan, 80-- (CP) = Guarded by locked doors, uni. formed patrolmen and 60-odd technicians here in Ottawa is the world's largest X-ray film library containing highly personal photo- graphs of the bodies of men and women who served in Canada's wartime forces. Larger than any co-ordinated set of records in the United States, the library is in charge of the department of veterans' af- fairs, In its brief existence it has become an active clearing centre of information which receives 100 requests a day for records to be used by D.V.A, hosptials, private physicians and for studies of in. dividuals and groups in connec- tion with medical surveys. The films are stored in three floors and a basement of the Earlscourt building in downtown Ottawa, The greatest hazard to them has been fire, a continual worry to library officials, who eventually hope to have an air- conditioned, dust and fire-proof building in =vhich the film can be stored indefinitely, Nearly 1,000,000 manila envel. opes contain various records of Canadian servicement and women ,as well as persons who were re- jected for wervice, All applicants during the war were X-rayed for tuberculosis, The library contains X-rays of members of the permanent army and the Royal Canadian Air Force, The permanent force of the Royal Canadian Navy keeps its own records. Like other service documents, the medical records of servicemen and women are highly confident- fal and come under regulations whi¢h forbid their release for a period of 650 years, Special ar- rangements are made for profes- sional groups making studies or surveys, Officials of the library hope the records some day will be of use to university students, A fur. ther detailed index now is being planned in order that the records may be used by such organiza- tions without revealing identifica- tion of the subjects. The films show a reliable crods-section of Canadians between 18.and 45, Wookly. Lwestock Foviowo.

Britain needs early fall and winter eggs. By the producers co- operating with their hatcheries in ordering chicks for 1947 for de- livery in February and March, more eggs in the fall will be made available for export. Boats will be available in the fall for ship- ping eggs to Britain, So as not to miss the boat, orders for chicks should be placed immediately.
