Fighter Command fs not being strained to the ut. most in its ceaseless campaign of "sweeps" and bomber- escort duty over enemy-held ter- fitory--or anything lke, it. This is evident in tho regula- tions governing rest for pilots. In the old days of the Battle of Brit ain, both the men and machines were worked to the limit; often "they had to go up agafn almost as soon as they landed, The pic. ture i different now. Regulations now call for certain yest periods for the pilots. They get one day oft every week, & supplementary 48 hours a month, and one week off in every six. In addition, they get free days when the weather forbids operations, . In its drive against encmy ob- jectives the Fighter Command of- ten stages severgl sweeps a/day. Pilots, however, are allowdd to take part in one sweep daily, and this only for short periods. This is made possible under a system by which equadrons of the. front line are relieved at regular in- tervals. Most of the pilots--their average age Is about 23--are 'so enthusias- tic that they grouse a bit when ordered to rest. Often they stay at the airdrome during rest per- fods in the hope of emergency acs tion. Doctors report, however, that the rest regulations are keep- fng the pilots in wonderfully good health, Butterfly Flight Did you know that butterflies, as well as birds, migrate? Each spring Californians look forward with keenest interest to the re- turn of the swallows at San Juan Capistrano Mission. Then in the Fall, they hold a threesday annual fete at Pacific Grove, on the Mon- terey Peninsula, to celebrate the arrival of gorgeously-coloredMon- arch butterflies . Every year since 1881, the but- terfies' arvivals have been record. ed, and presumably the migration began hundreds of years ago. The butterflies ave first sighted as a great golden cloud over the blue waves of Monterey Bay. "They fly direclty to Point Pines where they settle down in a grove of tall pines for the winter in what nat- ural scientists describe as their period of 'hibernation, Like swallaws, the butterflies scouts that arrive well in advance of the main body, thus clue for watchers to make ready the final preparations for the festival. The major event Is a romantic musical pageant, "The Coming of the Butterflies," a tale of the Costanons Indians who once lived at Point Pinos. 1t is believed that the butter flies come from the far northern Canadian Rockies, 3,000 miles dis- tant. Press A Button For S.0.S. Signal ~ Every ship in the British mer. chant service must now carry an ingenious addition to its lifeboat equipment in the form of a port- able wireless transmitter by which anyone can send out a radio dis- tress. signal just by pressing a button. N _ An SOS call is then radiated for two. minutes over a distance of more than 200 miles, and the portable transmitter can repeat it sixty and seventy times at in- tervals of an hour. Long sus- tained signals are also given au- tomatically so that. rescuers can take their bearing to pick up the lifeboat. The transmitter is fit- ted with a Morse key for a wire- less" operator, Although it weighs less than 50 pounds, the transmitter is excep- . tionally strong and if a ship is sinking it can be thrown into the sea where it will float without damage until picked up by the lifeboat. War Has Made - Canada An Island EN -- The truth is that war has sur- rounded this continent; and this country, says The Ottawa Jour. Not merely are ships being sunk oft our Atlantic coasts, within the sight of coast dwellers; there is the possibility of attack by sea or air at any time upon our Paclfic seaboard, "Actually, wo have become an island, with war swirling about us, and with our oceans. no longer keeping the enemy from us, but providing him with a bridge by which to bring attack, In the light. of that truth, brought home to us so starkly recently, 16t us hear less of the foolish blather that we are fight. ing a war of "imperialism," or fighting England's war. We are fighting for ourselves; fighting for Canada and for Canada's sure To argue the contrary, or to' hold that at most we should atay here in Canada and wait till the. enemy comes to us, is to argue lunacy.

Science Finds World Is Growing Colder The world is growing cooler. Dr. Chas. G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, ana two of his fellow workers, L. B. Aldrich and W, H. Hoover, say that the sun, from which the carth derives all its heat and oti which life depends, is approach- ing another winter in its output of heat. . The cycle of heat and cold, which appears to. vary through a 23-year period, is due to reach its coolest point in about 1945, Thus, they declare, the sum- mers of the next three years are due to be cooler and the winters will be colder with heavier snow- fall. They suggested that last winter, which in Russia' was the severest winter in many years and which turned the tide of the Germdn advance, may be a fore- taste of the weather to come. From day to day, and some- times from hour to hour, scien- tists sent out on the institution's expeiions have measured the sun's [heat with instruments cap- able of detecting a variation of a millionth of a degree change of temperature, They made their observations through deep tunnels hewn out of the solic rock where the earth's temperature remains constant and does not affect the solar measurements, Better No Cuffs han No Pants Alvin J. Steinkopf, Associated | Press writer repatriated from Germany, was swapping frigid pleasantries with a German na- tional for whom he was being exchanged, ¢ J "The United States is going-to pot," said the German, "It's a place where "you can't get cuffs with pants--an intolerable situ. ation undoubtedly breeding revo- lution." "In Germany," retorted Mr, Steinkopf, "a citizen not only can't get cuffs with his pants-- The island of Malta has a net- work of underground passages shelters that have been -cut 100 feet deep in solid rock. "tion Britain Expands War Production Output Of War Industries Greatest in Nation's History Britain's war production Is at the highest point in history and will continue to expand until the limit of manpower and resources has been reached. It is reliably understood that the output of guns, shells, hombs and other weapons of war for the air force and army in the first quar- ter of 1942 was twice as great as in the third quarter of 1040-- the Dunkirk period when Britain went "flat out" in preparation for an expected invasion. Production will continue to ex- pand throughout this year, it is confidently predicted. The extent of the expansion. will be limited by the supply of labor, raw ma- terials and machine tools, but the flood has not reached its peak, 65 Per Cent for War The story of British production, which in relation to size of pop- ulation is greater than that 'of any country in the world, is one of revolution from pre-war unpre- paredness to the present position in which some 65 per cent of the country's resources are being de- voted directly to work for the Government, ! . It is a story in which every man woman and child" in Britain fig- ures directly or indirectly, for what was turned over te produc was taken from the people. Articles considered necessities in peacetime--automobiles, rad- jos, kettles, saucepans, refrigera- tors, greeting cards, electric heaters, to mention only a few-- no longer are being manufactured or are being turned out in such ~smatl--quantities that they are al- 'most unobtainable. Quality Stressed : More and more the country is being geared to the war effort. Less than nine per cent of Brl- tain's total import of raw mater- lals-in 1941, exclusive of articles for food production, was for civ- fllan use. The percentage will be even lower in 1942. < Keeping pace with the increase in quantity has been the quality of the goods produced and Bri- tain's weapons of war have. been recognized as amoung the best in the world. - . The - output "might have been greater had not Britain adopted the policy of "quality first," but the results have borne out the Government's decision in that re- spect. Germany's Messerschmitts were mass produced and thrown into the Battle of Britain by the thou- sands. They were met and de- feated by far fewer numbers of superior Spitfires and Hurricanes, And just as the air war over Britaln brought jmprovéments in alrcraft, so has the fighting in the*Middle East brought improve- ments fn_tanks. - Train More British Pilots In Canada More British pilots will "bo - trained trained in Canada as squadrons become available to use flying accommodation in the United Kingdom, Air Marshal A, G. Garrod, British air member for training, told newspapermen on his arrival with the British mission to the Ottawa air train- ing conference, Canada could expect to see more British pilots coming here for training, he said. "Great Britain is the fortress, the front line and the battle- field," he said, '*As more and more squadrons are formed we will find it necessary to do more and more of our training outside." "Great Britain now is one mass of airdromes packed as tightly aa they can be," he said, Few Tires Available In Next Two Years Fewer than one out of every 16 passenger cars In Canada will be permitted new tires and tubes during the next two years, accord. ing to Alan H. Williamson, sup- plies controller. He said that no new civilian passenger tires are being manu- factured, and that even with strict -tcontrol existing stock piles will iprobably he exhausted by this time in 1944. "During these next two yeara only about 75,000 essential passen- ger cars can. be supplied," Mr, Williamson sald in a statoment, "Of the remaining 1,175,000 cars in Canada about 800,000 will not be allowed tires of any kind. "The balance of 375,000 passen- ger cars are those in class 'B' or class C.! The higher of these two groups may be able to buy some retreaded tires or have some of their tires retreaded. The: lowest eligible group will have to get along with any used tires that may still be available." Scope of the regulation making it an offence to destroy tires has been broadened. to 'include all - scrap rubber, it was announced by the Department of Munitions and Supply. What Science Is Doing OYSTERS . Oyaters, like cattle, depend on the rain. They grow sleek aud fat in rainy seasons, are lean- and make . poor ~~ eating In drought years. ~The reason; --explains ~~ Sclenca Service, is that oysters, like cattle; are animals and depend on plants for their food. The "pastures" on which oysters feed are minute one-celled plants that swarm in. uncountable millions in the sea, as grass-blades pack meadows on the land. As pastures of the land depend on soll fertility, thls micro- scopic "grass of the sea" depends on mineral nutrients in solution in the water. Most of thse min- eral salts are washed down from the land. When rains are copi Have You Heard?

Bible Distribution 8,096,977 In 1941 The highest figure in Bible dis- "tribution for the last ten years-- 8,006,977 volumes of the Scrip- tures--was reported for 1941 at -the 126th annual meeting of the American Bible Society, says the Christian Science Monitor, The total exceeds the number distrib- uted during any year since 1931, Stressing that the increased de- mand had arisen out of war con- ditions, the Socicty told how dls- tribution of Scriptural volumes to the fighting forces of the United States and two war prisoners in Europe and elsewhere accounted for nearly half a million copies, The receipt: of 95 per cent of these war packages has been ac- knowledged by the Society's Gen- eva office, it said.

Road into 'Free China HOW CAN I? Q. How can I frost glasa? A. One method of frosting glass is to apply a solution of six ouno- es of magnesium sulphate, twe ounces of dextrin, in twenty ouno- es of water. Q. How can I make a solution for cleaning windows? . A. Vinegar and water. make am excellent mixture for cleaning windows; the vinegar cuts the grease. It wlll also help to get oft the dust that has been topped with a splashing rain. Use about one-third of a cup of vinegar to two quarts of water. Q. How can TI make a pottel flower bowl waterproof? A. Warm the pottery with hot water, and wipe. Then pour Into it a few spoonfuls of melted par- affin and turn and tip the vessel until the whole interior is coated. Q. How can I repair broken cellulold spectacle frames? A.

Give the cake a few bumps con the table just before putting it into the oven, and It will not fall. The reason for this is that it causes all the air bubbles to come to the top and break. More Dogs Needed For War Service The. government is caling for more dogs for war service--to guard airdromes and factories and to carry 'messages.
