THURSTON, Editor r > j Peter Dow Writes The following letter was received by Mrs. John Nuhn from Gnr. Peter Dow, who is with Canadian Head- quarters at London, Enghmd: The last parcel I liad from you had maple sujjar in it, and as I am fond of maple sugar I had as -much satis- faction out of eating it as I did at the taflfy-down in your Uncle Char- ley's bush, where I took a sap bucket off with a burnt mixture about half way between taffy and sugar. That was some night, and in the mix-up somebody threw a rolled up dirty old rag at somebody else and it went into the kettle. Somebody else took a stick and iished it out, and the show went right on as though noth- ing had occurred. A word about the flying bombs which you have been reading about in the newspapers. It is seven weeks yesterday (Aug. 4) since they start- ed and they are a mean thing and do plenty of damage. At night when I'm in bed and hear one coming I say "Well, here goes," and up I get and cross the street to a vacant lot where I can see which way it is heading. By now I'm pi-etty slick at getting across there, so they don't worry much when I can see them. Sometimes they come five or six in a row, which isn't so funny when you can hear one bang and then an- other coming. Then there are the kind that glide in with the motor shut off and you don't hear a thing until they go off and you imagine the house is coming down around your ears. There is a Maple Leaf Club out at Gloucester Road which is run entire- ly by Canadian Red Cross girls, who are very agreeable, and the food is like what Canadians are used to, so when. L can get out there before sev- en o'clock in the evening, I go for supper. I send best wishes to the ladies of the Welfare League and convey to them my most sincere thanks and appreciation for their kindness in sending the parcels. â€" Peter Dow.

Dated at Mr.rkdalo this asth day '}f August, A.D. 1944. â€" Walter K. Harris, Markdale, Ont. Solicitor for the Executrix The Catholic Question Glancing through The Advance of the 23rd inst., I note with interest this advertisement "Great Protestant Rally; hear the truth about the Ro- man Hierarchy." It \\as offended nic. Tiiero is little use of sending an army from Canada to fight for tlu' release of the catholic country, France, while the Shields syndicate expounds tliem at home. In politics, the Catholics are Lib- erals. The King Government has been accused of showing them favors, all the other parties do the same. To the victor goes the spoil otf war. The Conservative party has long coveted the Catholics vote. The situation in Quebec is not pleasing, but is exag- gerated by the adherents of the Con- servative party. It has only been brought to light by the activities of the Federal police, civil servants of the King Government. If sedition and treason are rife in Quebec, it also is in Ontario. I have heard it in Aitemesia. The Quelbec overseas regiments have been spoken of quite often in the news, they can't be all Protestants. Major Triquet, second Victoria Cross winner, is a Quebec Catholic. If there are conscientuous objectors and draft evaders in Quebec we have th« same in the other pro- vinces. You can't conscript Quebec and hold tight to your own. Export markets are coveted by the world and are hard to obtain. An unfriendly merchant fleet gathers little trade. The Catholics are spread over the world and are under the control of the Pope. If you subju- gate them in Canada, you can't ex- pect international trade, which Can- ada must have to survive. It has been rumored tbat the Cath- olics are gaining the upper hand in Canada. If he is, the fault lies with the Protestant for his abuse of the laws of nature. There is no doubt that within the next twenty years he can control the country, if at that time Canada is still a democratic country. They are in the minority at present, but have a larger birth rate than the Protestant. As long as Canada flies the banner of democracy they cannot be defranchised or subdued. The Catholics is strictly against birth control, but it prevails among the Protestants. The King Government has shown the Protest- ant the light of day by offering to help them raise larger families on a bonus system. Step up the birth rate and the country shall stay in control of the English element. â€" Joe Radley. KIMBERLEY Mr. Jack Dillon of Sturgeon Falls is visiting his grandmother, Mrs. Jas.

(/HDERIfKEAR OBVIOUSLY babies and children must have underwear. Soâ€" the Wartime Prices and Trade Board has given special attention to the production of these garments. The problem has not been so much one of a lack of raw materials, but of getting the raw materials (wool, cotton, rayon), spun into yarnsâ€" and then knit into garments. Canada has never produced all the wool, cotton and rayon yam she requires. We have always had to get a substantial part of our requirements from other countries, even in peace- time. But since the war, there has been an acute shortage of undenvear yams everywhere. There has been a greatly increased demand in addition to production difficulties. The efforts of the Board to meet the proclem are given below. THf INCREASED DEMAND RESULTED FROiW <7^?- Mora babitt . . . H't opporanlly v^(^ , mora DODWt . • * n s opporar ^j»JS.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT N^First of all the Board found out the kiiu! and quantity of garments Canadian children must have. VThis siiowed that the public is asking for more than is actually ncedctl. VSo plans were made to see. by directing production all down the line, if we could meet the swollen demand as iK'culy as possible. VEach manufacturer was told to produce an increased number of garments. v^A constant check is kept on mills to sec that they are producing the required number. V Manufacturers not pre- viously making children's underwear were induced -to go into its prodyction. An The greatly increased supply of children's underwear resulting from these effoits Is shewn by the rolativo ilies of the figures below. 199S.1939 average 1943 «*4S I THE WARTIME PRICES AND TKADE BOARD rwis 15 fJHi Of A it*m or ANNOuNcmtNts oivino tmi Mcrs moot tst sui-nr situation qp vm,ous ,. \'f.. additional 600,000 garments will be provided this year from these sources. v^Nesjotiations were conducted with production autlioritics in other countries for supplies of yarn to Canadian knitters for use in children's underwear.
