Moves To Check Inflation Price Control Along Same Lines As In Canada A recent series of quick moves designed to halt rises in two major cost-of-living ftems--=food and rent --nplaced the United States on the game plane of economic control that has existed in Canada for sev- - eral montks, President Roosevelt, given the "go-ahead" signal by Congress to stabilize the cost of living and forestall runaway inflation of the United States, issued an order which clamped ceilings on wages, salaries, profits, farm prices and rents, : Food and Rent The food-price freeze, a 60-day emergency order to be followed s00N by permanent ceilings for the duration, is now effective. It en- joins all retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and processors to charge no more than the highest prico they charged between Sep- tember 28 and October 2. Only important foodstuffs ex- cepted were fresh fish, most fresh fruits and vegetables, and pea- nuts, probably to be treated later on a seasonal basis. All landlords who have raised rents In the last seven months will be asked to reduce them to the March 1 levels. Effect On Canada The United States, by putting antl-inflation legislation into oper- ation, has ensured the continuation of its effective enforcement in this Dominion, because, had there heen no move to check inflation in the United States, the inevitable re- action upon Canada would have been disastrous, "We may now look forward to of- fective co-operation and- co-ordin- ation of anti-inflation measures as affecting the entire North Amerl- can continent, oath Excels Spitfire Fighter New British Plans Is Retort To Focke-Wulf 190 The designer of the famous Hur- ricane fighting plane, one of Bri- tain's leading air weapons, has fathered another fighter, the Ty- phoon, which was pictured today as superior evento the celebrated Spitfire. The Typhoon was reported to be a decisive retort to Germany's bid for air superiority in the Focke- Wulf 190, the only Axis plane "which has presented a serlous challenge to the Spitfire. The Typhoon, a single-engined plane unofficially credited with a speed of more than 400 miles an hour like the Spitfire, is still on the secret list. Its oxistence was 'mentioned publicly for the first timo last April, but the extent of its production and use by the RAF. Ti Tho last few : weeks, however, there has been increasing talk about fit. 2,400-Horsepower Engines Designer Sydney Qamm is un. derstood to have conceived the Typhoon in 1937 soon after com- pleting the first Hurricane and to have used reports on tho Hurrl cane's performance in the Battle of Britain as a guide in complet- ing the Typhoon improvements, Mr. Camm is perhaps the top British designer since the passing of R. J. Mitchell, "father" of the Spitfire. It is sald that it required 6,000 drawings to perfect the Ty- phoon. Construction startad even before the 2,400-horsepower Sabre engines, with which it is powered, had their final test. ; The Typlioon is armed with machine-guns and cannon and Is to have an amazing climbing abil. ity. It is believed the plane which Alrcraft Production Minister Llew- ellin referred to in Parliament last July when he said: "There are two new German planca but we know a great deal about them. Our newest plane now coming into production is better at nearly every height and as good at any." Some Are Brave But' Not Always In a coriatn, Canadian military camp a number of soldiers recently - volunteored for training ns para- chute troops--perbaps the most dangerous form of service that the army has to offer. It is not dls. paraging the other soldiers to say that the paratroops have an extra dash of the heroic in their com. position, But one sergeant in this group of volunteers is still not quite up to the specifications of the com. plete hero: As the group entrain. éd for the school in the United - Btates where they receive instruc- " tlon, he sald to another sergeant who had come to see them off: "By the way, old man, I've never been able to get my nerve up to tell my - wife that. I've volunteered, You might let sr know I've gone, will you?" ¢ The second sorgeant delivered the message-~by telephone. - pes "Hniments, ie and Clouds pr a picturesque-backdrop--for the highway to-Alaska- being -- built from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, to Fairbanks by the U.

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING TURPENTINE Southern pine trees and the skill of American chemists are supply. ing the United States with a ver- gatilo product in which Japan once held a tight monopoly, writes Dr, C. M. A. Stine, vice-president ad- visory on research and develop- ment of the duPont de Nemours and Company for Science Service. This Is gamphor, an important Ingredient of thousands of peace- time and wartime products from -~unguents,- stimulants and other pharmaceuticals to scuffless plastic heel covering on women's shoes, movie films (which use hundreds of thousands of pounds), military. drafting instru- ments and motorcycle windshields, State camphor trees of the Or- fent have for thousands of years beén giving off thelr fresh and heady odor--an odor that carries for miles. Many centuries ago the natives learned to distill the cam- phor wood, using crude bamboo tubes to condense the snow-white crystals, These they pressed into small amulets to insure health and to serve as symbols of pagan be- let. It Is eald that the Arabian physicians of the eleventh century appreciated the medicinal valuo of camphor. German, Swiss and Italian plants wero turning synthetic camphor out early In the twentieth century and a start was made on this con- tinent in 1900, Several other ef- forts were also made during the <}--flest---third--of--the<-century; "but large-scale operations did not be- gin until the™ duPont company opened its camphor plant in 1932, Turning out close to 600,000 pounds of camphor a month, this plant now produces most of the cam- phor manufactured in the U. 8S. Pinene, the starting material tor camphor production, is a clear, watery fluid which looks and smells much like turpentine. In fact, tur- pentine is 95 percent pinene, which is distilled off. The world's largest diamond, the Cullinan, --- which weighed - 3,106 carats when found in South Africa, was cut into nine principal stones. A FAMOUS BRAND ¥ gden's FINE CUT In tho early 90's, when J. H. Wallace drove a herd of cattle up into Alberta from Idaho and started the now famous Wal- lace Ranch, the '"Hat'"' Brand was his identification. The brand is still in use by Ross Ranches, at Adon, Alberta. "HAT" Brand of the WALLACE RANCH Have You Heard? : An American go-getter, visiting Scotland for the first tlme, found himself puzzling over the dialect of the hotel porter. Taking the man for a foreigner, he inquired his nationality. "I belong to Scotland, honnle Scotland," replied the porter proud- ly.

Junior--""One Is a strong will and the other a strong won't." yy During a recrudescence of white feather distribution a spinster seeking victims came across a young man milking a cow. "Why aren't you at the front?" she blurted out. "Cos there's no milk at that end," he answered with a grin, ge "Hallo, old man, | haven't seen you for some time." "I've been In bed for seven weeks."

Husband: "Yes, dear -- but you're far above the average, you know." | Film Shows Work Of Forestry Corps A film, "Wood for War," made in co-operationiwith the Canadian Army Film Unit, is on its way from London.
