All Ju Rescue Ship (Continued from Page 1 ) affair auU the ship moved slcwly from one marker to another, the search- light* continually moving over the water. One mistake there would be- just too bad. In the harbor at last, word \\< aioiiml that the Canadians were free to go on shore, along with the King's Mrs.si'nKfr, but all others must stay on board for search und questioning. It was Bermudas rainy season and the water was pouring down in tor- rents, and I had seen Bermuda be- fore, so I stayed on board and watched proceedings. The ship was taken over completely by the British, by agreement with the ship owners, of course. All mail was taken ashore to be cens:red. All alien passengers were herded on to the after deck until their turn came. It was an interesting process. The person questioned sat at a little table. A naval officer conducted the investi- gation in French, German or what- ever other language the passenger understood best, while a girl from the censorship staff took down every word in shorthand in that language. It soon became apparent that these men and women knew an amazing amount about our fell.w-travellers more than we had learned in a week with them. Amd they knew the cities in Europe whence they came, and could detect flaws in their stories. It was a thorough inquisition, which only tht- British subjects and th se few Americans in the diplomatic ser- vice escaped, and it took most of the night. When it was done, we knew how the British can check up on the damage done by bombing and can collect other scraps of interesting and valuable information. No d'Hibt the United States has bcncfitted from this thorough-going sy.tem as well. Some of the Can- adians were a bit doubtful ab ut several of the passengers. There were two men, both with English- Bounding names (and passports) but supposed to be escaping from France to the United States. One of them protended tr> be a acifist and quoted A. A. Milne's poems to the children on board, and the other one got drunk on the last night on the ship and started to recite about Germany's might ;ind the uselcssncss > f holding out any longer against her. It was Dave Rogers to whom he was open- ing out and our Western friend called us over to hear it, and we felt like heavirr-r the man overboard. Perhaps we sh uld have done it, but maybe he is in an internment camp south of the border by this time. If not. he is a distinct menace to the nation. After the Excamibion left Bermuda, there M-emed to be no more danger. That was before German submarines were operating el- sc to the coast, so there was n chance to relax. On the last Monday morning in October, we sailed past the Statue of Liberty and pnst thr skyscrapers of Now York to disembark finally on tin 1 New Jersey bora, That ni^ht, I was back tit La Gunrdia Airport, .cutside New York, the place from which the trip started *ix weeks before. But this time It was not the Clipper but a trim Trans- Canada plane that took me up over Nnv York. The plane took a route directly over the heart of the city, where millions of lights sdvonc, In contrast to the blacke<l-out towns of Britain and Europe. Two hours Inter, I c < uld see the lights of Toron- to and the lorv? highway to Hamilton, still lighted in those days. The big thrill of the trip was to be able to stup out on Canadian soil airain. .Never before did Canada seem s<> good.

Toman of Toronto were visitors NOTICE TO FARMERS At a meeting in Brampton last week of the truckers of this section of Ontario, it was decided, owing to the gasoline and rubber shortage, to ask all farmers having stock to ship to let the trucker know at least 48 hours ahead of the time he wanted his stock called for. This will cut out unnecessary or overlapping trips and contribute in no small way to the war effort. D. MacARTHUR, ARCH.

Today those ships and their naval scorts are required for more essential services. Every ship, very foot of cargo space, is neded to cany war material*, and to bring essential goods to Canada.

You must reduce your normal consumption of coffee by at least on* fourth. These reductions are absolutely necessary.
