Since the first Canadian Division arrived in 'Britain, there have been Canadian soldier patients in 706 differont hospitals in' England, A nation . wide network of visitors bas been thrown around- the hospitals, so that no Canadian soldier, sailor.or airman -may.~feel himselt isolated fri loneliness from Wil his friends. At frequent intervals he receives friendly vidits from some suitable person who can chat to him about Canalla, ' When a Cabadian goes into hog pital the registrar sends a prepaid postcard to the Canadian Red Cross headquarters in Loudon. The pare, ticulars are card-indexed in the records. department, which means the man has ceased to he a 'caso' and has become a personal and welcome responsibility of the Red Cross.

New Type Torpedo For Great Britain Is Highly Secret And Will Be Manufactured In United States Great Britain has developed a highly secret, new which will be manufactured in the United States with money from the second Lease-Lend fund. " All details about the new under- "water projectile aro carefully guarded, but its hanufacture will require Special productive facil: ties. Although there has been no hint as to how the secret new torpedo would differ from those already in use, naval officials long have talk- ed of the need for torpedoes which would be jnvisible when fired-- that is, which would not leave the wake of telltale air bubbles which sometimes gives surface ships en- ough warning to enable them to, manoeuvre out of the. way. Another criticism of present-day torpedoes is that those fired by compressed air produce aNarge air bubble on leaving the subMarine. When this bubble reaches the suis face, it guides destroyers and other ant-submarine craft to the sub. marine's position for a depth charge attack. Some naval authorities, warning 'against under-estimating the Ger man U-boat menace because of the recent decline in ship sinkings," have suggested that the Nazis may have developed a torpedo that el * Iminates those objectionable [fea- tures. J Disclosure of the order for the new British torpedo-together with the indication that it differs wide. ly from those now in use led to conjecture that the British, too, may have solved those problems. War Spurs Search . For Magnesium Urgent need for vital supplies of alloy metals has intensified the search for deposits of these min- erals, such as niagnesium, which plays an important part in the production of airplane metal. The Natural Resources Department of the Canadian National Railways .. long ago completed a survey in the, Maritime Provinces of pos- sible sites where such minerals might be located, and informa- tion then obtained is now being put to use. 3 Dolomite, one séburce of mag- nesium, is found in Cape Breton and the Daminion Government has been prospecting the deposits with a view of erecting a plant for the recovery of metal. Mag- "nesium is 'valued .at about $600 a ton. It is one of the lightest of metals and ig much used. in the manufacture of flares and in- ~ cendiary bombs... ; become type torpedo Fritz; "but-{t's- for life."
