NR | \ ~ if they took to the, air an War Propaganda Poster Contest Young' Ontario Artists "Are Trying Their Skill in Special Competition Sponsored . by C. N. E, War propaganda is the latest recreation of young Ontario are tists, Hundreds of boys and girls are applying their skill and im: agination to designing entries in a Canadian National Exhibition poster competition being held to arouse further interest in the im- portance of intra-Empire trade to the war effort. Scores of finished posters are reportedly being received, among them striking sketches of native workers in Ceylon tea gardens, Australian sheep ranchers, the smoking chimneys of England's potteries and "other glimpses of the Empire's important agricul tural enterprises that bear testl- mony to *the imagination of the young artists, most of whom have never been outside the Dominion, "Plans are underway to print and publish in quantity the out- standing poster," said H. M, 8, Parsons of the British Empire Overseas Section of the Toronto Eoard of Trade which is spon- soring the contest. "It will be us: ed," he said, "to develop Empire trade in Canada where every dol- lar spent on such Empire goods as tea, woal, linen, tin, china and rubber, which the British Government is either controlling or "pushing" yields credits for the purchase of supplies essen- tial to a full prosecution of the war." A number of prize winning posiers in the competition, whicn has awakened immense interest amorg students, teachers and pav- ents, will" be selected for exhibi- tion in the British Empire Build- ing during the C. N. E. ey, New Minefields. LL Locaticn of new minefields laid ~by--the -British- navy between -the- Orkney Islands and Iceland and - between Iceland and Greenland is shown on the map. Object is to uard Ireland against possible ierman invasion from Norwegian bases and to help bottle up the Nazi fleet. 3 : Until You've Seen Canada From Air You Don't Know the Country, Says B.C. Writer -- From A Vantage Point of One Realizes It Is a Land of Great Prémise and Wealth "Anyone who has not seen 'Canada from the air cannot say that he knows Canada or is eap- able of appreciating its great pos- * sibilities," says Mrs. M, L. Mur- Airplane' ray in a special article in the Bridge River-Lillooet (B.C.) News, Describing a flight she made by Trans-Canada Air Lines from Vancouver to Toronto, Mrs." Murray says, should niake this trip. It is ex- hilarating, refreshing and arous- es within one an entirely new concepticn of our country . . . Canada is worthy of all the loy- alty and strengih we have. It Is a land of great promise and wealth." > "For dignity and confidence," the writer goes on, "Tran:- Canada has provided an outstand- "dng service equal to that on any other routes any A ho in the world, and a a reasonable cost that should make the 'service as practical as it is useful." "Seeing mountain highways from the air, the writer has sympathy for the builders.

Tho virus disease, in* monkeys and man, leaves a pattern of In- flamed tissue along nerve tracts forming-its path fn the brain to the spinal cord, where It produces par alysis, This "pattorn" indicates by what portal or "door" the disease enter- ed. Discovery of the portals 1s an important step 'toward preventing the disease. ULTRA-VIOLET TELESCOPE A telescopo invented by the dir- pctor of General Electric's light re- search laboratory at Cleveland, makes it possible for the human oye to seo more than 320 miles. Its construction is essentially simple --- lenses and a screen lo receive ultra-violet rays. Nothing but ultra- violet rays come into tho telescope; put a machine to discharge such rays anywhere within the horizon, and the telescope will pick them up. The invention may some day be of uso in ¢onvoying darkened troopships, for the. pilots could signal back and forth with ultra- violet light, free from any danger that enemy subiiarines would seo them, OXYGEN FOR DIESELS Widespread uso of diesel-engined airplanes has been brought a step closer through - successful exporl- ments with a new oxygen boosting method of facilitating the takeoffs. , Experiments showed that by feed- ing tho oxygen Into the intake air of a Diesel engine, its power oult- put could be increased by 55 per cent. for a fow minutes without do- tonation and without undesirablo strain on the engine.

HAVE - YOU HEARD? A man who held the belief. that after a youth had attained his majority he should be taught to fend for himself, gave his son a thousand dollars, and told him that henceforth he would have to carn his own living.
