7 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE. ONT., JULY 27, 1944 "Our Family Regulator is DR. CHASE'S kis PILLS OTTAWA REPORTS That Canada Is Looking Forward To Regular Sale Of Consumer Goods With Russia Russia's growing importance in the Canadian picture is reflected in the recent Government announcement that since April 1 nearly ten million pounds of lard have been shipped to the U.S.S.R. tinder Mutual Aid arrangements. Russia, three times the size of Canada, is next to the United States, our nearest neighbor. Unlike Canada, she has consistently been developing her farthest North territories as part of her economic plan. While details of our increasing trade are not revealed, it is known that weapons of war, aluminum and nickel, railway equipment, machine tool,s cattle, horses and grain have gone forward from this country under Mutual Aid. Outside of Mutual Aid, Russia placed an order to the value of 23 million dollars for Canadian hydro-electric equipment a short time ago. In addition to the export of Canadian materials for the rebuilding of Soviet heavy industry and her broken cities, a regular sale of consumer goods with the US S.R. is anticipated here. Canada's increasingly large shipments of bacon to the United Kingdom were probably a major _ factor in the increase of the British ' ration from four to six ounces a week, according to Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agriculture. An estimated 85% of Britain's bacon requirements are met by this Dominion. The quantity of hogs marketed in the first six months of this year was 5,250,000, an increase of 60% over the same period of 1943, the Department of Agriculture announced last week. Up to July 1, Canadian Meat Board purchases of bacon for the United Kingdom totalled 464,000.-000 lbs. A contract to supply the United Kingdom with a minimum of a hundred million lbs of beef over a two-year period was announced by Mr. Gardiner in the House of Commons on July 15. The Meat Board bougl t 53 million lbs, of beef in the last six months for shipment abroad. The Minister said that the new contract would not bring back meat rationing here as supplies are sufficient for both contract and domestic market "needs. The British empire covers about one-fourth of the world's habitable land surface. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Burns ■ Doctors at a United States naval hospital are successfully tieating burns with a material of which the navy will never have a short- SThe salt water used is a double strength solution of sodium chloride made up in the laboratory, but the doctors say that in an emergency, buckets of sea water could be utlized ,after heating to remove bacteria. Capt. William Kirkham, chief of San Diego's plastic s-.rgery service says the tip-off on the effectiveness of salt water for combat burns came during the British evacution of Dunkerque in 1940. He said burned men rescued from the water after some time fared better than did men whose burns had not been bathed in salt "The explanation is simple," he ■said. "A burn is just like any other wound. It has to be kept clean and salt water keeps it clean." The special solutions of salt water are applied in two ways: by saturating light-weight dressings, or by having the burned men bathe in a tub filled with the water. The burns are first cleaned with white soap and plain water. Robots (A tribute to the people of Southern England) They say that we are scared to death, They're Jriving us insane, We canno: sleep by day or night, We've robots on the brain. These dark assassins of the air, Without a human hand Have paralysed us, every one, On sea, and air, and land. It won't be many days before In terror and dismay, We plead to Hitler on our knees To keep robots awa). They've killed so many children, Old mca and women too, The If Germans will believe such stuff They'd better soon get wise. It's more of Goebbel's chloroform, Based on a pack of lies. For every robot that they send (This is a certain bet) Makes us more angry, steels our hearts, And more determined yet. We'll beat the daylights from the Hun, And not the Hun, alone. The dirty Jap will take the rap And sink just like a stone. We're one for all and all for one At top the mighty four; So let the robots freely fly, They soon will send no more. T. B. Gleave 'Maquis' Stir Up Trouble For Nazis The Maquis, the French underground fighting organization which is causing the Germans so much trouble in southern France took its name from the appellation bestowed upon Corsican bandits in Napoleon's time. The word (pronounced mackee) means undergrowth, particularly the thick brushwood that grows in Corsica and that furnished the bandits good hiding places. Mong the leaders of the Maquis are high officers of the French Army who refused to bow to Nazi domination as relayed through Pe-tain's Vichy government. THEIR GAME IS ENDED While their fellow-countrymen suffered under Nazi oppression, the two French civilians in the photo above led a comparatively easy life as reward for collaborating with the Germans. They are hiding their faces after being sentenced to We Imprisonment at hard labor. HAPPY MEETING IN NORMANDY Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. What kind of a person is considered a "bore"? 2.

Charles McCrea, K.C., president, Negus Mines, Ltd., expressed the opinion o,n his recent return from a fortnight's visit to Yellowknife, Northwest Territory, that a great future awaits that district when the war is over. He found general expectation that all the liveliness in claim-staking, diamond-drilling and prospecting will result in new finds during the coming season. When the war is over, reopening of the Con, Rycon, Ptarmigan and Thompson Lundmark mines and the active development of Giant Yellowknife will mean exceptional activity in the Yellowknife camp and there is every indication of its becoming an important gold area. Mr. McCrea reports greatly improved air service since his last visit in 1940. The preliminary operation of. the new landing field prepared by Canadian Pacific Airlines was a real recognition of the importance of the area. A through trip may now be made on wheels instead of by wheels partly, and pontoons partly, on the Yellowknife run. Mr. McCrea expressed considerable pride in the fact that Negus Mines, started only in 1939, had n e ve r t h eless continued through all the difficult war years. He was accompanied by Mr. Watkin Samuel, A.C.S.M., vice-president and consulting engineer. The Bank-Estra group (Payne option) was studied carefully and adjoining claims staked. Previous prospecting and exploration of this group of claims under option last season had disclosed a number of gold finds and Samuel mapped out a drilling campaign. A drill is doing exploratory work near Kam Lake geological structure where favorable shears and veins containing gold indicate promise. The 100 claims included in the Payne group and in the new claims will be maintained by all the work needed for that purpose. This is in line with Negus policy of continued production at the mine and vigorous exploration by drilling and prospecting in the new areas. Keep Firearms " From Children ■ have c ol Adults who over firearms also have a solemn obligation to keep them from children in whose hands they might be a menace to themselves and others. Tragic emphasis has been placed on this observation by a lengthy list of recent accidental shootings. Even with the sale of ammunition subject to priority permits, there has been entirely too much shooting by boys in and around the city. A rifle and box of ammunition around the house are an ever-present temptation to a small boy; a simple admonition to leave them alone often isn't enough. A .22 rifle is a highly lethal weapon and the carrying power of its ammunition might amaze many persons. It is not a toy. If you have firearms around the house, put them where young children cannot possibly get their hands on them. Headac i Nothingismotedepres-f (sing than headaches. *' Why suffer?...
