pe a < ' Hudson's Bay Co. 'Ship Visits North Nascople Makes Annual Rounds To Arctic Outposts Somewhere In northern Canad {fan waters the famous Hudsons Bay Company mallship Nascople is making her appointed rounds im artime gecrecy. : Ottawa officials stated last weok that the vessel which annually - visits scores of eastern Arctic out- posts left some time ago to make her annual rounds, Her destina- tions, her dates of departure and arrival and the length of her crulse are all kept secret, Aboard the Nascopie is the usual complement of government offi. cials charged: with care of the Eskimos and the resources of the eastern Arctic, tradérs, Royal Can. adian Mounted Police, and misston- aries. It is believed that the number ol tourists this year is very emall --if there are any, In the past the cruise has been popular among both Canadian and United States travellers, P. O. and Bank Carried This year the Nascopie carrles a post office service as complete as that found in a Canadian city, with a savings bank added to other facilities provided in the past. Residents at lonely out. posts will be able to make depos- its "and withdrawals as it they were dealing with their bank ian a city Encouraged by a good response last year, officials on the Nascopl will again offer for sale War Sav- ings stamps and certificates. Although it is considered un. likely the Nascopie will be able to Inform the various posts by wire- less of the date of her arrival, men who have lived in the north say there is no doubt the "ship day" crowds at the various stop- ping places would be as large as usual. Natives will be on the watch all along the northern waterways, and even if the white men's in. struments are stilled the moccasin telegraph will spread the news of - the Nascopie's coming. i JINX TO JAPS Four of Jap 'flags painted on fuselage of Lieut.

Need More Women For War Industry The shortage of women work- ers in Toronto war plants is now becoming acute, with a recent survey indicating that at least 7,600 new women workers will be needed by September 1, Mrs. Rex Eaton, director of the Wo- / - men's Division of National Select. ive Service claimed last week. In Hamilton, the situation is even more acute than it is in Tornto, Mrs Eaton said, stating that more than 5,000 women will be needed in plants there before September 1.

The weapon, which has been in use to protect merchant ship- pig for more than a year, was described as an apparatus which shoots a projectile that opens into a parachute from which long wires dangle. The rockets, fired up as planes swoop to attack, often force them to veer off course or risk engage- ment in the wires. THE WAR . WEEK -- Commenlary on Current Events War May Last For Many Years If Asia Falls To Axis Powers The magnitude of thls war has far over the Continent the alr been Indicated in the titles given to its encounters: The Batte of France, the Battle of Britain, the Battle of the Atlantic, An ev vaster concept {is beginning | lake shape: The Siege of Asla. It Asia holds out the United Na- tions can win a clear-cut and con- clusive ylctory, eays the Now York Times. It Asla falls the United Nations. will not lose the war in the Sense that they will surrender to the Axis Powers: when poace fs worse than any form of war, as a Hitler peace would be, there will be no surrender. But If Asla falls to the Axis war will simply become chronic, the chiet oocu- pation of 'mankind for horrible, endless years. Battle of Asia In the war of 1914-18 the Cen- tral Powers fought inside a circle. They still do so, though they have pushed back the circumference, In this war there 18 a huger circle, inside of which are the great land masses of Russia, China and Indla, containing more than a billion hu- man beings. Rommel in Bgypt, the whole Nazi Army on the Rus- sian front, tho Japanese In the Aleutian Islands and all the way down the coast and through the Islands to New Guinea, are bat- tering at this enormous fortifica- tion. The rest of the war,-no mat. ter how widespread, is an attempt to lift the siege. The armies of the British Commonwealth and of the United States may bo thought of as relleving forces. When and it the Russians and the Chinese are strong enough to make per- manent reoccupations of lost ter- ritory these advances will be sorties in force. Our first task Is to seo that the beleaguered city of Asia, with fle billion inhabitants, docs not fall, Our second task is to raiso the sloge, and In this task tanks, planes and guns sent inside the friendly lines play a part equally with the hoped-for sccond front. Second Front Remembering that the urging ot a second front in Western Kurope goes back to the summer of 1941, It is easy to understand the im- patience of the layman in Britain and Amerlea as he sees the Nazis driving 'close to Stalingrad. Yot we may bhe-sure that United Na- tions strategy has not overlooked the importance "of keeping the Russian front alive. We must hope that Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roose- velt will give the order 'for In- vasion In the West before the Germans can split Russia. Air Control Necessary Undoubtedly, according to the Christian Science Mouitor, the risks of landing a British-American force in France *or Norway have been carefully calculated. One koy to them is in the air, literally and figuratively. For tho clearest pre- requisite of any invasion attempt fs an umbrella of air power. How - LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher SUGAR "Ws SPICE, 7 kk Le As Vat 24 2 7%, 70) 7 V7) Qorrrel : "She doesn't know we're takin' her to the D:E-N.T.I.S.T." front can be mtaintalned is the most vital question. Britatn couldn't hold Norway because her short-range tighter planes based in <England couldn't protect her land and sea forces there, while the Germans, with short-hop land com- ~ .munfcatipns could base both bombers and fighters in Norway. One secret of Dunkirk was that thera the RAF controlled the alr. It is: well to remember that It re- quired a week to take 335,000 men across the Channel from Dunkirk without equipment. With fm- proved air protection and prior organization of transport, hun- dreds of thousands of men with cquipment could be landed in Franco In a fow hours. Invasion Risks It is such control that DBritish- American forces need for crossing the Channel and opening a sec- ond front on the Continent. The RAF and the American alr force In still undisclosod size now or- ganizing at Irish and English bases probably would be able to place an umbrella over a crossing and even extend it inland for fifty to a hundred miles under present conditions. But would they bo able (o hold it and blast German mech- anized forces moving up to a sec- ond front should Nazi air power be concentrated in the West? That is the big question In Washington and London when the risks aro calculated. Clearly, the longer British-American air power is built up and the farther Kast the Nazis are drawn, the smaller are the risks fu the West, We trust equal attention is boing giv- en lo the risks of waiting too long. To realize how important it 18 to keop the Russian front alive, one only needs to try to estimate the situation with that 2,000-milo sap- per of Nazl strength immobilized. That danger might come quickly. Military experts are agreed (hat Japan is only waiting for the most favorable moment to give Moscow a second front. Berlin's Nightmare Wao trust, too, that Leundon and Washington are thigking not only of risks but of potential advan- tages from a second front. It has always been Berlin's nightmare. It would help not only the Rus- sians, who undoubtedly would counterattack simultaneously it Nazl air power moved West, but the Allies in Egypt. And visible ovidence of help near at hand should double - and redouble the strength of revolt and sabotage on * the Continent. Calculations are necessary to avoid raising false hopes, or making futile sacrifices, but wars are won by imagination. R.A.F Raids Danzig The Second World War began at Danzig, the free city on the Bal- tic at the head of the Polish Cor- »ridor, on Sept. 1, 1939. Last week the war returned to Danzig when British four-motored bombers div- ed through a Summer thundor storm 'in broad daylight to raid the city at house-top altitude. The "raid==a 1,600-niilé round trip--was significant of Britain's mounting air power. Of moro significance was the desperate need of the Un- ited Nations that made the raid NECeSSAary. The British fliers over Danzig had orders to attack one target-- the submarine building yards. The - mounting toll of ships sunk by submarines far away in the At- lantic had made it vitally neces- sary for the United Nations to whip the U-boat, and over the oceans from Danzig to the Gulf of Mexico a far-flung campaign wag under way to that end, U-Boat» Toll There' were come good signs in the battle. Tho submarines that had operated freely off America's shores In the early months of the year had been driven farther to sea, Convoys had been instituted in the Caribbean and the an- nouncement had been made that soon they would be organized in - tho Gulf of Mexico. But mostly the picture remained black. There were long over-water hauls to every one of the United Nations' battlefronts. England must bo fed by sea. And the unofficial total of United Nations vessels sunk by Axis submarines since the first of the year had reached 375. One incident of the week point- The smiling gentleman is "Slam. ming Sammy" Snead holding the Seagram Gold Cup he won last year at Lambton as Canadian Open Golf Champion, Last year was Snead's third victory in the open and he would like nothing better than a victory this year to tie the record of four open wins now held by Leo Diegel. The defending champion's entry has not yet been received at local = golf headquarters, and for a very good reason. Snead is in the United States Navy, and permis. sion must be secured from his superior officers to allow him to take part in this tournament. A request for this permission has been despatched through the pro. per channels-and it is confidently expected that Snead will tee ofy with the field at Mississauga on August 6th in quest of his fourth win. Since the House of Seagram first presented the trophy in 1936, the names of some of America's" outstanding golf Mars have been inscribed on the parchment roll. First there was Lawson Little, then "Light Horse" Harry Cooper. Snead's victories came in 1938, 1940 and 1941, with the 1939 crown going to Harold "Jug" Mec- Spaden who is again entered this year. ' Standing twenty - two inches from base to top, the Scagram Gold Cup is one of the most cov. eted trophies in golfdom. It rests on a massive base of onyx which contains a gold casket within which is the scribed parchmond roll of unnual winners. The gold casket 1s mounted on heavily, chased silver leet with a Cogpigs thian column at cach corner. Two beavers act as supporters of this casket and the Canadian coat of arms is beautifully executed ol the front. The cup itself is of Grecian design and made of gol 'The superlative workmanship an exquisite design makes this trophy, which was made io, in Canada, one of exception beauty seldom seen in athletio trophies. 'the winning players receive a miniature of the cup for permas nent possession and have the names scribed on the parchment roll which reposes ip the base the trophy. First prize money in the Cana dian Upen is $1000.00 with an ads ditional $200.00 if the winner is a Canadian, In all, $3600.00 is ale loted to be divided among the firs fifteen. - The. Canadian Open this year will be held at Mississauga, jush outside of toronto, on August Gth, 'th and 8th, and as in previous years the field will include many nous United States and Cana- dian Golting stars. The entire wet profits of the Royal Canadian Golf Associa~ tion's operations for this year will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross Society. ed it all up in very human * erm. In an exchange of letters Presi dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill had arranged to curtail the flow of individual gifts and relief supplies from America to Britain. There just wasn't enough room in the available ships for all of them, and guns too. = By Big Transports United States War Secretary Henry Stimson announced that the Air Transport Command, which, since June, 1941, has de- livered more than 6,000,000 let- ters and ldrge quantities of sup- plies to soldiers overseas, now is forming an organization to bring the sick and wounded_back from combat zones. 1 To be known as the Air Evacua- tion Group (Medical), the new organization will use transport planes equipped as flying hospit- als for surgery, blood transfusions and other treatment, The planes will be able to carry as many as forty patients. One of the principal features of the Transport Command has been to deliver bombers to war theatres, and Stimson said the huge planes always go out with a full load, mail being given a high priority rating because let: ters from home are regarded as essential to high morale among troops. An Innovation Parliament at Ottawa witnessed an innovation one day recently when, for the first time in its "history, a Tady presided over pro- ceedings in committee, says the Toronto Telegram, The honor fell to Mrs. I. C. Casselman, Edmon- ton East. The compliments she received were apparently well de- served since she took charge with evident capacity and within half an hour had called Hon, C. Gu Power to order, an experience which has rarely fallen to him in a long parliamentary career. "I have never," Mr' Power admitted, "been called to- order in a man- ner which I appreciate as much ag 1 do fn this case" £ ; - To Evacuate Poles To African Homes The British radio reports that 10,000 Polish women and children, the families of Gen. Sikorski's Polish troops serving in the Mid- dle East, are to be evacuated to Tanganyika and Uganda in Africa, The Polish women and children are at present in Persia and the BHC said that some of them have come. through great hardships, Camps will be built for them iw their new homes which will bes come small Polish townships.
