Canada at War At the beginning of the war Canada had a Permanent Force of 4,500 men and a Non-1'ermanent Active Militia of 55,000. Today there are more than 188,000 men Jn the Active Army and 170,000 in die l.'r-.erve Army. Nearly half of Canada's estimated direct war expenditure in the present fiscal year will be devoted to the Army. Soldiers' Parcels An interesting fact has been brought to light by the> return re- cently of an Officer from Over- seas. A great many parcels arrive' in a damaged condition due to those at home not packing tbe contents properly and also not realizing thu great distuuce of travel and the number of times the package must be handled. And so from this experience overseas was born an organization, the "C. A. O. Parcels Dispatch Reg.", 350 Bay Street, Toronto, who, for the sum of Oue Dollar dispatches a parcel containing three packets of Razor Bladee, Two cakes of Soap, Two packets of Chewing Gum, and small In- dividuals of Gum or Salted Pea- nuts to fill all spare space; Shoe Laces. Chocolate, Oxo and Cig- arettes .all of these articles being difficult to obtain overseas. Bach parcel contains a post card addressed ready to be sent back to the sender in acknowledgment. The Idea of these Dollar par- cels has met with ready response, not only from individuals, but from Bmall groups of persons and Or- ganizations who find the service a great accommodation. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. If riding in someone else's car and he stops for refreshment*, whose place is it to pay the bill! 2. Should a woman always re- move her hat in a theatre? 3. If a friend has a book one wishee to read, 1s it all right to ask outright to borrow it? 4. Is it proper to talk "shop" while out in society? 6. When dining in a restaur- ant, what should a woman do with her purse and glovos? 6. Should a girl smoke, if the would rather not, just because the other girls in her crowd do? Answers 1. If the host suggested stop- ping, he more than likely expects to pay. However, the proper thing for the guest to do Is to offer to pay (and with sincerity), or at least to suggest "Dutch treat" -2. Yes. It ui bad form to keep the hat on, no matter how smalF it may be. 3. No; one may ask if the book is interesting, but If no offer is made to lend* It to you, let the matter drop. 4. Not un- less someone has asked you a question pertaining to your work. Your work may be very interest- ing to you, and even to your friends, but to talk It continually is in poor taste. 5. Place them in her lap or on a vacant chair, never on the table. 6. No; she should realize that smoking li a matter of personal taste. Types Faster Than Most People Talk What are probably tlie world's I'UHteet fingers belong to Margaret Mamma of Brooklyn, America's super-typist, who pounds out wordi faster than most bosses talk, sayi Amorlcan Magazine.

"Come, come!" said the sales manager. "Don't look so down in the mouth. I know it's difficult at first, but you'll soon get into It. When you've had a little more ex- perience you'll get along all right." "It Isn't that," said the young man. "When I got home last niglit I practised that sales talk on uiy wife and now I've got to buy her a new vacuum cleaner." v "We have been married over a year now, and we never quarrel. If a difference of op- inion arises and I am right, Henry always gives In Immed- iately." "And If he Is right?" "Oh, that hasn't happened yet!" v The golfer stepped to the tea and drove off. The ball sailed sti-aight down the fairway leaped on to the green, dived Into the hole. "What have you suddenly gone crazy about?" .askod the golfer's wife, who was trying to learn something about the game. "Why, I just did a bole in one?" yelled the golfer, a wild gleam in his eyes. "Did you?" said his wife, plac- idly. "Do it again, dear. I didn't see you." v Good Samaritan (after an hour's hard work changing tire for a lady driver): "Well, I hope that spare will take you home." Lady Driver: "I'm sure It will. I five only a few houses down th'e street." Tommy was doing penance In Uie corner. Presently he thought aloud, pensively: "I can't help It If I'm not per- fect," he complained. "I never heard of more than one perfect boy, anyway." "Who was that?" asked his mo- ther, thinking to point out a moral. "Papa," came the reply, "when he was little." v Joan: -'Father, what's a gar- den plot" Father: "The bug* and worms planning to cat up your stuff." 1,546 Bags of Mail For Overseas Lost No Central Canada Pork For Maritime* John A. McDonald, Nova Scoti* Minister of Agriculture, said h* approved of the suggestion that shipment of pork from Central Canada into the Maritime Pror- inces be prohibited. "It should act as an added in- centive to our farmers to product our own requirements," he said. It was announced at Ottawa recently that the banning of pork importations into the Maritime,! from Central Canada was ono of the measures which received con- sideration by the Canadian Bacon Board in an effort to boost th exports to Britain. Why Sholdn't We Give Britain Food Hon. R. B. Hanson, Conserva- tive Leader in the Canadian House of Commons, suggested that Canada might donate food from "all our abundance" to help Britain's war effort. Mr. Hanson Inter /lowed three Cabinet ministers, toured the Houses of Parliament, signed the visitors' book at Buckingham Palace and made his food sug- gestion after a conference with Lord Woolton, Britain's food minister. "Lord Woolton," said Mr. Han- son, "gave us a closer viewpoint of the food requirements (of Britain). I explored the possi- bility of contributions of food by Canada. With all our abundance why shouldn't we give them food?" Ciqa tetie rape U NONE FINER MADE PARCELS FOR OVERSEAS SOLDIERS i niiiiilii Humor Illades, Choc- olate.

Receipt mailed te> yimr address* The post office department an- nounced recently receipt of word that l,54fi barrs of Canadian mail destined for the United Kingdom and leaving the dominion during the last week in August had been lost through enemy action. Included in the shipment were 1,293 bags from the base post office at Ottawa containing mili- tary mail for soldiers overseas. Air Training Plan Praised By Duke The Duke of Kent, back in England from his tour of Canada to study progress of the Com- monwealth Air Training Plan, de- clared in a broadcast thaW th Dominion can take "special prid in its outstanding success." He said he had been amazed at the growth of the plan. The peo- ple of Britain, he said, have no idea of its magnitude. "Two years ago it was a plan," the Duke said. "Today It : s a vital war industry, which com- bines the advantages of jnass pro- duction with the most s'kilful sel- ection and individual training." Parliament Will Opan November 3 The visits and consultations overseas of Premier King and the Conservative Leader, R. B. Han- son, will be reflected when Parlia- ment resumes on November 3. Present plans call for recon- vening Parliament on November 3 with the opening of the new session fixed for November 5 or 6. This was the course followed last year. It is expected that two or three weeks will be taken up In general review of Canada's war effort with the first hand information the missions overseas will have produced. The financial appro- priations will suffice till the end of the fiscal year in March. If there is any emergency leg- islation of a budgetary character similar to what was enacted last November, it seems certain to be in the nature of -widened restric- tions and the "spend less and save" formula which the Finance Minister is repeatedly emphasiz- ing. An adjournment from early December till February is regard- ed as probable. Bacteriological War Forseen by Baxter If Germany begins to lose the war, Hitler will not even stop at bacteriological warfare, Beverly Baxter, Member of Parliament, eaid recently after his arrival from Lisbon on the Yankee Clip- per at LaGuardia Field. "If we get Hitler on the run, he will concentrate on England with things you never even thought of before," Mr. Baxter said. "If things go badly with him inRussia, he will turn loose a vengeance war on us, not stop- ping at bacteriological warfare. After all, the object of Hitler's real hate is England, although he's getting awfully cross at the United States." THE BELL mmw F i-^ -^il Ffis BIG BEN n. PERFECT n m{ngKtttttv THAT'S MY CHEW Profanity Fines For Worthy Cause Not that railwayman are any more addicted to profanity than the ordinary run of mortals but the Queen's Canadian Fund re- ceived a rather unexpected con- tribution recently from a Cana- dian National train crew who un- dertook to fine themselves every time they uttered a swear word. By mutual consent it was agreed that any member of the crew who made use of a profane word while in the van would place a penny In a receptacle set aside for the fund. The last week-end on which the crew reached their ter- minal, the receptacle was full to overflowing it contained nine dollars and fifty-six cents which went to aid victims of German bombs in Britain. War Doesn't Stop Progress of Art More than 200 drawings and paintings by British children have reached the National Gallery in Ottawa and will go on exhibition today and later be shown in vari- oua Canadian cities. War has not been allowed to interfere with the progress of art education and cultural develop- ment of children in England, said H. McCurry, Director of the Gal- lery. "Letters and reports show they cling more tenaciously than ever to these values in life." 15,000 Parcels To Prisoners of War Dr. F. W. Routley, national commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross, Toronto, said his or- ganization is sending 15,000 par- cels a week to continental Europe fop prisoner* In enemy occupied territory. The parcels, he said, cost $1.99 apiece to put up and transporta- tion expenses are $2.50 each. They contain a week's supply of food, giving 3,000 calories a day. Dr. P. Tisdale, of Ottawa, one of Canada's nutrition experts, de- signed the content of the pack- ages so as to gire maximum food value In the poundage allowed. SOLDIERS, RUB OUT TIRED ACHIft Ontario Will Give Up Taxes Ontario will abandon the in- come and corporation tax field tor the duration at least, it was learn- ed In authoritative quarters at Queen's Park recently. When the federal government first Invaded these fields of taxa- tion the Hepburn government pro- tested but now U Is learned an amicable arrangement ha bee* made. Th province would be compen- sated for loss ot revenue on th basis of last year'* collection*, which amounted to f23,000,00d from corporation taxes and $8,800,- 000 from Income taxation. Trea*- officials suggest that the tot*' col- lected this year might mean a lose of $5,000,000 to the provlnoe but the fact Is that the government budgetted for lss In 194S than ta 1941. It is also expected that Ontario will be compensated by the Domin- ion for loss of gasoline tax reven- ues resulting from Che federal Im- position of an additional tax.
