THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., APRIL 27, 1944 RECORDS FOR PRISONERS The first shipment of phonograph records destined for German prison camps in which Canadian are interned was presented to Major General the Hon. L. R. LaFleche, Minister of National War Services, in Montreal. F. R. Deakins, President of RCA Victor, who officially turned the records over to the General, is seen here introducing him into the intricacies of a modern recording instrument. The shipment is the first of a regular monthly service to prisoners-of-war in Germany. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Onions For Wounds The aroma of fresh onions and garlic is such a good germ-killer that the Russians are using onions as an aid in curing infected wounds The story is told in the American Review of Soviet Medicine, by B. Tokin, A Kovalenok, I. V. Toropt=ev and A. G. Filatova, They tested human mouths and found that after three to eight minutes of chewing fresh onions or garlic, and sometimes after one minute only, the mouths were found free of bacteria. The Russians say they don't know what the chemical >s that makes the-breath lethal. The killing effects disappear after about 16 minutes, but the punch, while it lasts, is tremendous. It kills not only the invisible germs, but the big visible protozoa. These are one-cell ani-male, like paramecia The killing, or healing, aromas are not confined to onions and garlic. The Russians report them in lesser degree in horeradish, radishes, peppers, and such fruits as lemons, oranges and tange- The wounds treated with onion were all amputations, of arms or legs. The onion was never placed in or on the wound. A container was made to fit the wound, and tarrying the vapors to it for 10 minutes in each treatment. The improvement was good enough that the Russians report they believe the plant fumes have a place Hugh Try It A foreigner once rashly asserted that, he thoroughly mastered the English language, relates the Sheffield (England) Telepraph. Where wpon some one asked him to write form dictation the following: As Hugh Hughes was hewing a Yule log from a yew tree, a man in clothes of a dark hue came up to Hugh and said, "Have vou seen my ewes?" Said Hugh, "If "you wait until I hew this yew I will go with you anywhere in Europe to look for your ewes." PISTOL-PACKIN' PUP Lassie, a pup bought by Chicago police captain Louis Capparelti is a pet for his daughter, was kept in the police station to be housebroken. She liked the place lo much she refused later to live at home, walks beats with the cops, and, as pictured above, proudly packs a rod and shield to prove she's no child's pet, but mascot to 200 burly cops. Have You Heard"! An officer had dictated a letter to a C.W.A.C. stenographer in which the words "intelligence officer" were used twice. The stenographer, not used to army titles typed "intelligent officer." The officer who had dictated the letter roared at the little stenographer: "look at this! Whoever heard of an intelligent offi-- A: "So you bought a new fin-coat after all. I thought you said your husband could not afford it B: "So I did, but we had a stroke of luck. My husband broke his leg and the insurance company paid him $300." He: "Do you think I'm con-She: "No, Why do you ask?" He: "Well, men as good looking as I am usually are." This story comes from the Alexandria Army Air Base in Louisiana. Two soldiers stepped forth smartly when they heard the top-kick ask for a "postal detail." They envisioned soft jobs. They learned quickly, when handed shovels, that he actually-had said "pos': hole detail." How Can 1?

Blueprinted by 120 large firms, representing five major British industries:--aircraft plywood, steel tubing, light alloys, and iron and steel--the scheme will benefit from war-learned lessons in aircraft construction and design. For example Britain, unused to central heating wll have in its new houses heating and insulating devices borrowed straight from its fighting planes. To avoid standardization, five or six basic designs have been prepared. Pre-fabricated houses, ac- cording to engineers, architects and housewives, will make possible great advances in low cost housing, and less that. 1,000 nan-hours will be needed to build and assemble one of the ready-made homes. This compares with the average of 2,200 man hours now needed to build an ordinary dwel-ling.
