The one-storey building on Sussex Drive, less than a mile from Parliament Hill, is the Canadian War Museum. It's so small that the displays have to be changed once a year to get into public view sorae of the 40,000 or so relics of war otherwise stored in ware- houses in Ottawa, in neighboring Hull, Que., and at Camp Bor- den, Ont. But an advantage of its size is that visitors -- there were more than 132,000 last year-- get an intimate glimpse of the weapons with which Canadians fought. Sprinkled throughout are Battles Recalled By Old Weapons (CP) -- A smallthe year 1500. Some dre the same type that Champlain used when he came to Canada. There are drawers upon drawers of pistols, stacks of bayonets and sabres--all kept in their orig- inal state of repair. There is a prototype of the original machine-gun, and re- mains of First World War bar- racks equipment including spoons and kettles. There's a tank - like mine carrier devised by the Germans before 1939; flame throwers; rocket launchers, Second World War variety; a camouflaged gun carrier; a Japanese aircraft gun; scale models of the Di- eppe raid; a German search- Lght; a First World War Nieu- port biplane and a Heinkel 162; a German Second World War jet; an Italian tank. ... weapons of other nations, some won by Canadians in combat. At one end of the middle aisle is a Sopwith Camel, one of the First World. War bi- planes that destroyed 1,281 en- emy aircraft. HISTORIC COACH Nearby is the once splendid coach used by Lord Dorchester, commander of the British forces in North America nearly 200 years ago. The Constitutional Act of 1791 which brought rep- resentative government to Can- ada was introduced during his second term as governor-in- chief of British North America. Scattered through the mu- seum are pictures of Canadians at war. Uniforms, guns, sabres and models take you from the Fenian raids of 1866-71 to the Korean War of 1950-53. A pamphlet recalls that the first Canadians to serve offi- cially outside Canada as a sep- arate force helped pilot the Gor- don relief expedition of 1884 up the Nile to The Sudan. Relics provide a link with the Canadians who served in the South African War of 1899-1902, and other weapons recall the supreme sacrifice of 60,661 Canadians in the war of 1914-18. Models of ships and aircraft, like. the Lancaster bomber, bring to mind the more than 1,000,000 men and women who donned uniforms for the Second World War WARLIKE STORES Other displays are in the main warehouse a few blocks from the tree-shaded museum.

The idea is automatic segre- gation of out-of-town letters and those bound for city addresses. The automatic segregator, facer and canceller was built in England. It's used with special stamps marked with lines of sligmly phosphorescent mater- al, Four-cent stamps will have one vertical line; others will have two. Letters will be car- ried on a conveyor belt and will be separated as they pass un- der ultra-violet light. The stamps will go on sale Jan. 13 with covers available to collectors at 10 cents. Envelopes with no stamps or with stamps not in the upper right-hand corner will go to a special reject stacker for hand processing. All others will be aligned with the stamp in the upper right-hand corner and} will be cancelled by machine.

During the last 13 months he has rounded up 370 men and wheeled, badgered and cajoled them into learning English and taking trades training. Not all are unemployed but many were unskilled. : Once he corrals a student, Father Carraro registers him, collects the $10 fee that goes to the Toronto board of education and delivers a short lecture on the virtues of regular attend- ance. A man who practices what he preaches, Father Carraro spoke no English when he arrived from Italy three years ago. After basic English classes with other immigrants and daily ses- sions with a private instructor, he became fluent.

From a patient screenings of §,000 soil samples, they turned up venturicidin which, if present tests prove out, will be produced as an agricul- tual spray. Venturicidin is an anti-fungus, although not an anti-bacterial, and seems to be harmless to animals. So far, the scientists re- ported in Nature magazine, it has been found effective in stopping apple scab, barley mildew, broad bean rust, grey mould, cucumber mildew and other plant diseases. Federal Service Still Expanding OTTAWA (Special) -- Cana- da's federal civil service con- tinues to expand both in num- bers and in cost.-And, while this is taking place, the Royal commission on Government Organization is continuing its work. Known as the Glassco Com- mission after its chairman, J. Grant Glassco, it made its first report in May of this year. The commission was established by an order-in-council of Septem- ber 16, 1960, with the purpose of enquiring into and reporting upon the organization and me- thods of departments and agen- cies of the government and to make _ recommendations con- cerning the matters specifically set forth in its terms of reference. In particular the commission was asked to report on such matters as eliminating duplica- tion and overlapping of services, Patriots and of the NFL Wash- ington Redskins, also was| sought by Edmonton Eskimos| of the Canadian Football) League. | eliminating unnecessary or un- economic operations, achieving efficiency or economy through reallocation .or regrouping of units of the public service. Prime minister Diefenbaker has explained that the commis- sion is set up along the lines of the Hoover commission in the United States. "Its authority is quite wide, the purpose of course being the attainment of economy without Sacrifice of efficiency," the prime minister states; And while nowhere is there CUCKROACH ROMANCE A Harvard biologist has found out how cockroaches tind a mate, in the dark. When Dr. Robert Barth re- moved a pair of giands, called the corpora allata, from the uecks of female cockroaches, the males ignored them, The glands, he explained, nor- maily produce a hormone which triggers production of a themical considered very agreeable by the male. When Dr Barth replanted new glands in the females, they mated and produced normal eggs.

(CP) An Indian burial mound in which no human remains haye been found has been discovered and investigated on the Suf- field Experimental Station near here by a group of archeolo- gists from the Glenbow Insti- tute: of Calgary. The mound has given up 1,500 artifacts. including arrow heads, Feed and implements. Dr. Richard Forbis of the institute, who was in charge of a two-month investigation, :said the only sign of a human body was the outline of a human form done in stones beside the mound. But he added that the possibility of the mound being a cenotaph had to be consid- ered. Cartridges found in the mound indicated it was built no earl- ier than 1750 but the builders have not been identified. The area has been considered Black- foot territory but Assiniboine and Cree Indians also roamed the land. Dr. Forbis said there are about 10 smaller mounds' of similar design jn the immediate area and inves&gation may sup- ply some clue to the purpose of the mystery mound. water pipes in and sometimes finding their way into refrigerators. But the US. National Pest Control As- sociation reports, such inva- sions are infrequent and can be controlled by extermin- ators. Snowfleas are a type of springtail -- that is, insects possessing a pair of spring- like tails that can be tripped when quick distance is re- yuired. Snowfleas can hop as much as a foot. Trouble is, they don't seem to have any control over the direction their springs will take them. Snowfleas occasionally are seen frolicking in bands atop moist snow, the association a specific reference to the pos- sibility of reducing the number employed in government ser- vice, there is speculation here that this could well be among the final recommendations of the commission. Government employment has been higher each month in 1961 than in 1960, ranging from 200 more employees in May to around 5,000 more in July, Lat- est figures, for September, show an estimated 349,138 employees in 1961 compared to 344,362 in September 1960. And total earn- ings are also up, being $127,- 160,000 this September compared to $121,711,000 last year. : UPSET Teething and fretful? Here's what to do! STEEDMAN"S for baby Rest for you!
