Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESfc THURSDAY, MAY 18th, 1944 MAY JEOPARDIZE CANADA'S WAR EFFORT Ottawa, May 15.--Shortage of waste paper may jeopardize Canada's whole war effort, Major General L; R. La Fleehe, Minister of National War Services, declares in anouncing a nation wide paper salvage drive. He appealed to smaller municipalities to organize their colections of vital materials such as paperboard and pointed out that in many areas trucking concerns had agreed to arrange the picking-up of the material. "The situation is serious," declared the Minister emphatically. "Our mills are operating from hand to mouth. They require 20,000 tons of waste paper--not just for one month, but for every month. The time ' not so very long ago, when a paper box was merely a container designed to convey its contents to their destination without scuff or breakage. "To-day, paper containers have gone to war. In adition to their hundreds of other uses for military and civilian purposes, they have been designed for the following uses : To be thrown overboard for landing operations; floating to shore or sinking to the bottom to be recovered at low tide; to provide protection for medical kits, blood plasma, emergency rations, gas masks and for hundreds of other He pointed out paper parachutes strong enough to convey food and supplies for isolated men and units are now in use; treated paper electrical conduits are replacing metal and wood; shells, grenades, fuses, etc. ere carried in paper containers. They are also used for dehydrated foods, raving cargo space; for canisters used in transporting powder, shells, airplane propellers, and bombs. One of the chief difficulties, he declared, was caused by the fact millions of paper containers sent overseas cannot be returned to Canada for re-use. He paid tribute to the voluntary help of Canadians in previous drives and went on : "To-day, the crisis is more acute than ever. The need for paperboard containers, as well as for other paper products to serve our armed forces, grows daily end the present wastepaper supply is wholly inadequate to meet the increased demand." W. M. S. MEETING AT CASTLETON F.M, CHURCH The monthly meeting of the Women's Missionary Society was held in the Free Methodist Church, Castleton, Wednesday evening, May 10th, 1944, under direction of the president, Mrs. A. F. Ball. She was assisted in the devotional exercises by Mrs. H. Warner and Mrs. Bookout. The president gave a very interesting address on the porgress of Missions in China. She stated that the last ten years of Protestant Missions in China have yielded fruitage equivalent to that of one hundred former years. Amid the terrible sufferings of war, the people of China have been turning to the Christian religion for comfort. In one district recently there was a gain of three hundred and thirty-six church members in one year. There is still opportunity for much advancement as there is only one misisonary for every 77,000 of China's people. Readings were contributed as follows : "The Reward of a Tither" bj Mrs. H. Pomeroy, "Back to Christ" by Mrs. P. Ritchie, "An Ideal Christian Sister, by Mrs. S. W. Darke, "Ar, Old Fashioned Methodist Meeting ir a Rural Community" by Mrs. N. Gutter. George Harnden gave a brief talk on the power of Christ to change men's lives. The next W. M. S. monthly meet ing is to be held on June 7th. RATION CARDS FOR AMERICAN TOURISTS American tourists are entitled t) the same ration allowances as are provided for Canadian citizens. Visitors to Canada should apply to the Local Ration Board immediately upon arrival at their destination. They will . be given an application form, and on completion of this will obtain a temporary ration card. Temporary ration cards are issued to visitors who remain in Canada for five days or more, Should the visitor be going to an isolated part of the country where there is no local ration board they may obtain the application form at the port of entry into Canada. This form may then be mailed to the near est office of the Board. SEED POTATOES To correct false impressions, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board points out that the control- of the packaging of seed potatoes is handled by the Department of Agriculture. Seed potatoes this year will be sold in 75 lb bags. The best seed potatoes are certified and have a Department of Agriculture tag attached to the bag. Inspection of potatoes for ertification is a large job, and if the potatoes are put in smaller certified bags at seed stores, grocery stores, and other places where seed potatoes are sold, the number of inspectors required would be prohibit-New Condensed Ads. on Page 5.

STRESS NEED OF RED CROSS IN PEACETIME Task to Mend Broken Spirits of Millions in Europe as Well as Work in Canada Premier George Drew told the 24th annual meeting of the Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society, that the postwar work of that organization would be just as vital as the war contribution in esesntial services. The task of +he Red Cross in bringing comforts, healing and home to those whose bodies are broken by war must be carried on to-morrow for the broken spirits of scores of mililons of people in occupied countries who have almost lost hope he said. "Red Cross strvices to more than 400 hospitals overseas, work for war prisoners, blood clinics and innumerable other fields of activity has built up an immeasurable good-will abroad towards Canada," he said. "This work must not end when hostilities cease. Rebuilding for long years after the war must be the main concern of people of good-will everywhere. It may not offer the same I sacrifice and glamor as support to j those offering their lives but it will be as vital for the preservation of the things for which they are fight- ing. Premier Drew told the large sembly that bombed Britons in their shelters had come to know well the great work of the Ontario Red Cross. Blood given by donors here would perhaps flow in the veins of eneri " "But there is nothing more symbolic of the spirit of the Rod Cross--wide as humanity itself--than that this most precious thing should go to lengthen the lives of those who our enemies to-day."
