houiing problem the establishment of training centres and new indus trie since the declaration of war has given us a large moving population and proper accommodation for these people must be found even with the govern ments price ceiling and all the rules and regulations with regard to the renting of houses and rooms we find conditions far from satisfactory in many congested centres rents are exhoibitant and rooms and apart ments far from satisfactory we read of one mans experiences in such a place for days he got up before the crackodawn j have the edge on others investigating such choice ads in the morning papers as duplex facing park only to find it was a cellar with half windows looking out on a street car track furnished places well he was amazed at the accumulation of junk some people could crowd into one room then there was the apartment he almost took it had a good location fairly decent chairs and tables and only a few square yards of orange and red linoleum in the dining room but the land ladys hesitation to open one cupboard door brought to light the unfortunate fact that a man lived up in the attic and had to come through his parlour to reach the street door that was the last straw he finally end ued up by renting a motor yacht fuel oil shortage made that possible and mooring it beside a lovely park he uses the cabin for a bedroom and hangs his wash out on deck it is ten blocks from a grocery and fifteen from a restaurant and he has three feet of water lo wim in he says yes theres a housing problem but im lucky georgetowns housing problem judging from the gteat number of requests we teceive at the herald office each week asking any new apartment ads in we would say there is a defin ite housing shortage in georgetown too although on a much less drastic scale than in the instance above we cant help but think its a golden opportunity for people who have two or three spare rooms to capitalize on them the factory at malton and the new training centre just established at brampton have caused rooms and apartments to be at a premium in all nearby muni cipalities good business sense tells us that now is the time to have that duplex made and those rooms done over in this way you can do your bit to solve the housing problem in georgetown our battle of wits none can deny the truth of the old adage truth is stranger than fiction especially when applied to incidents which have taken place since we have been at war just at the moment the strangest truth which has forced itself upon our attention is the impud ent act performed by eight nazi agents who landed on a strip of deserted beach near the tip of long island in the country to our south it reminded us all too vividly of a picture recently shown in town depicting the ad ventures of the crew from a nazi sub stranded in north bay only it was in canada that the enemy was striv ing to gain that first perilous foothold we viewed the feats they performed to gain their end with amazed in credulity surely it was farfetched surely canadians were more on the alert than to let all those dead give aways go unobserved for so long but now we can see that picture wasnt far fetched not in the least what happened in the states can and might be happening to us right now there are plenty of lonely wooded stretches along the banks of the st lawrence stretches for more likely to escape observation than a long island beach and enemy submarines have been reported in that vicinity more than once we must take a lesson from our neighbour the ease with which a nazi prisonerofwar can slip through our hands even after actually admitting he is an escaped german should convince us we are not as tnuch on the alert for these things as we should be the eight men captured by the fbi are known to be contact men and instructors of an already well-or- nanized ring of fifth columnists now operating in the united states there has been a systematic infiltration of nazis into that country and doubtless into ours snnce before hitler was at the helm in germany their task has been to acquire citizenship and so pave the way for the persuance of their subversive activities under ffeat protection evidently their idea is to conquer the country from withinby having spies in the ranks of the timed forces organized sabotage on a gigantic scale apd by fomenting political and social unrest we cant let that happen here we must in- ckaae our vigilance and have our minds geared to face the fact that anything can and has happened we have a cagey enemy to deal with even on our own

terrific judging by photographs t saw in the pros club added to the regular dangers of i f lref ightlna was the unpleasant habit of the ocrmon raiders of dropping high explosive bombs as soon as the fires were well started one of the chief handicaps in early dan of the bombing was water scarcity when water mains burst when hit by high explosives that has been taken care of in zrfmdon and other cluea base ments of bombed buildings have been made into great storage tanks where there are no such casements available metal water tanks are placed in pub lic squares and in the centre of wider streets destroy enemy pisnes with all these means ot combating the effects of enemy planes no nutter how auoouful they may be the morale of the people would hardly stand up month after month there must be some feeling that the enemy is getting it back is losing something too that calls for mrthods of destroying enemy planes strangest of all these methods is the barrage balloon these hang by the hundreds over london and in smaller numbers over other eltlu and such important points as munition factories convoys going out the thames and through the channe have barrage hal loons being pulled along on cables be hind them the barrage balloons look lovely and quite harmless like childrens toys they always remind us of hot dogs with the end of the welner hanging out one end mast of them are

understand that orgaiuauons hare been farmed to study the situation in that regard of course the main thing right now co do la to see that the war it woo by ine united ntuons tnd as toon as pcaalble ell however it doeanl do any harm lo think of the afteruwwar phase of the ututuon those who are studying the question as it may ap pear oltei the war arc interfiled main ly in the worldwide situation but for most of us the situation ngbt at home wul hold plenty of interest por instance we do hope that after the war u all finished that our service buttons will keep on closing at seven oclock every night and also keep closed on sundays we seem to br used to tlielr shorter hours and as far as we can see are groins along just as well us wr did when utry kept open day and night or again wr hope the bakers will never go back to slicing bread again and doing it for nothing at that it was a very foolish un necessary custom if there ever was one it isnt so easy lo buy on the instal ment plan nowadays and that is also all to the good this hahlt of buying by mortgaging the futurv has been the cause of much worry and grey hair another change that the war lias in troduced has been the doing away with the habit of buying a new car each year now it is the other way about and the idea seems to be to make lh old car lost as long as possible in other words the war has taught us the foolishness ot attempting to keep up with the janes and come to think ot it we never did think enough ot them to want to keep up with them again we will likely be the belter ot having to do with less sugar than we had been i using and the benefits that we derive from that may be worth hanging on to again we will be forced to use weaker tea and again we will likely be the better for so doing and will be con tinuing to use the lesser quantity after the war then there is the matter or waste or as we coll it salvage having formed the habit ot saving what other wise would have been discarded we will likely be still trying to be thrifty after the war is over it seems that there ore a number of ways that we may benefit from keeping on at the savins ways that the war has taught us right at home but as we sold be fore the main thing to do right now is to see that the war is woo and as coon as possible leroy dale kc m sybil bennett ba barristers is ukkn uin street r am nielsen xray drutlau
