THE GAZE TrE. OLDS. ALBERTA WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD The Soviet government has with- drawn its diplomatic recognition of Greece. Seven million oranges were unload- ed at Liverpool from recently arrived ships and were allocated to various cities and towns throughout Britain. Three fully equipped ambulances, representing the contribution of more than 1,000 Canadian seamen of the Great Lakes, were presented to the Royal Canadian Navy. Mr. Justice C. D. Macaulay, judge of the Yukon territorial court, has) retired after 39 years of service in the north, justice department officials said. ‘ . : McGill “University officials are studying the possibilities of a speed- up in medical training to meet @ shortage of physicians, it was an- nounced. A year’s renewal of a $1,938 881 Dominion government loan to the British Columbia government is pro- vided for. in an_ order-in-council tabled in the House of Commons. Several senators who. sometimes differ widely on other policies have agreed that the United States de- fence effort. might necessitate a lengthening of working. hours. One firm of contractors in Den- ham, England, found with gasoline _ “for purposes other than called for in the ration coupons” was fined £600 ($2,670). : Travelling salesmen in Washing- ton, Oregon and British Columbia who are members of the United Com- mercial Travellers have agreed to do their tipping in future in war and de- fence savings stamps. Noted London Landmarks List Of Those Damaged By Nazi Air Raids Grows British authorities permitted the announcement that several noted London landmarks, including the Temple, Gray’s Inn, Sergeant's Inn and St. Nicholas Cole Abbey had been damaged in recent German air- raids. : The Temple, heart of legal London, and Temple church, largest of the re- maining round churches in England, suffered heavy damage. The: tomb of Oliver Goldsmith, in the churchyard, was battered by falling. masonry but his statue had only a chip. knocked from the tip of the nose. Flames. spreading through the church, whose round séction was consecrated in 1185, burned’ for six or seven hours, melting the leaden roof and destroying stained glass windows, The ancient masters’ house of the Temple, damaged in a previous raid, was hit again, demolishing a read- ing room of the library and Inner Temple hall. _ Flames spread from Inner Temple hall to the cloisters,,Fig Tree court and. Crown Office row, which con- . tained the Charles Lamb memorial. Six or eight statues of crusaders— the Temple originally was the seat in England of the crusading order of Knights Templar—were made un- recognizable by tons of falling mas- onry. It was said authoritatively that half the Temple was destroyed. | Gray’s Inn, fourth and last of the great. inns of court, to which many famed Elizabethans belonged, also was heavily damaged. The 16th cen- tury hall was destroyed and the lib- rary, with most of its 20,000 volumes, was burned out. A relic of the first Great War— the remains of a German incendiary bomb which fell in the neighborhood —was lost, but a catalpa tree plant- ed by Sir Walter Raleigh, was un- damaged. | Just Ke: Ola Story 'Nazis Use Same System On Aill | Countries They Invade | Everywhere one turns one sees the | Nazi system put into action; the pro- | paganda, the infiltration of ‘‘tourists,” \the customary pretence of interven- | tion to help some “oppressed” peo- | ple to regain their freedom from British “tyranny.” It is the same |old story from the time of the be- | trayal of Norway to the present. .Even Petain in his proclamation to |the French people reveals himself as ithe mouthpiece of his Nazi masters. | —Montreal Star. BODICE NOVELTY IN SHIRT- FROCK By Anne Adams The shirtwaister plays a return engagement season after’ season in the smart woman’s wardrobe. Here it is in a -new and strictly 1941 ver- sion by. Anne Adams, Pattern 4746. The bodice is deftly, knowingly planned to dd away with bustline problems. . Notice the deep curve of the yokes as they meet the centre bodice panels; the concealing gathers in the soft-cut side sections. This treatment, together with the tailor- ed, notched collar and the’ buttoning to the waist; makes the eye travel up and down rather. than . across. Even the skirt joins in the slender- izing work with front and back panels. ‘Though just . short sleeves are sketched, a long sleeve version is included in this becoming, wear- able style. : Pattern 4746 is available in. wo- men’s sizes 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Size 36 takes 3% yards 35 inch fabric. Send twenty cents (20c) in coins (stamps cannot. be accepted) for this Anne Adams pattern. Write plainly Size, Name, Address and Style Num- ber and send orders to the Anne Adams Pattern Dept., Winnipeg Newspaper Union, 175. McDermot Ave. E.,. Winnipeg, Man. . Admitted To United States Famous Russian Born Scientist Es- capes From France Dr. Serge Voronoff, Russian-born scientist, and his wife were formally admitted to the United States for permanent residence. Voronoff, .who achieved fame through his monkey gland experiments, arrived in Canada with his wife to await his number under the United States Immigra- tion Department’s Russian quota. The scientist left Europe after his laboratories at Mentone, France, were lost when the Germans broke through into France last. year. International Pesce Garden Beautiful Spot On North Dakota- Maniteba Boundary Worth Visiting Sixteen miles south of Boissévain, Manitoba, on the North Dakota, Manitoba boundary, is the Interna- tional Peace garden, fast becoming one of the most beautiful spots in the west. Excursionists to western Canada this summer, regardless. of where they may be heading, would find it worth their while. say those in charge, to pay this Peace Garden a visit. The roads’ leading to the garden, in which is located Turtle Mountain Forest reserve, from both North Dakota and Manitoba are ex- cellent. The garden is still in the process of development, but visitors in recent years have found it a very pleasant place. Development on the American side is further advanced than on the Canadian side, since the United States government has made use of C.C.C. camps on a large scale and has appropriated a large amount |of money for this work. Did Not Understand Item But. Famous Writer Found Why Un- usual Charge Was Made When Boston was Fanny Kemble’s home and her summers were spent in rural Massachusetts, she engaged a worthy neighbor to be her coachman | “Vinegar Bible.” during the season of one of her so- journings in the country. With kind- hearted ‘loquacity he was beginning to expatiate on the country, the crops, and the history of. the people round about, when Fanny remarked, in her imperious dogmatic fashion, “Sir, I have engaged you to drive for me, not to talk to me.” The farmer ceased, pursed his lips and ever after kept his peace. When her vacation was over, she sent for the farmer and asked for her bill. Run- ning her eyes down the columns, she paused. “What is this. item, sir?” she asked. “I cannot understand it.” And with equal gravity, he replied: “SASS, $5.. I don’t often take it, but when I do, I charge.” Inflation Defined. .

PRODUCING R.C.A.F. FILM Experiment Interesting Scientists Find Negro Vision In Dark Better Than Whites “Evidence that tegroes can see bet- ter than white men at night was carried to Washington by two scien- tists who have been conducting vision tests with selective service draftees at Fort Bragg, N.C. One of the scientists, Dr. H. de Sylva of the Yale University Driver Research cen- tre, described the discovery as ‘the most startling find since we entered the field” of night vision. Dr. de Sylva and Dr. W. M. Miles, vision expert of the National Re- search Council, will present their findings to Col. David Grant, chief medical officer of the army air corps. Dr. de Sylva began the vision tests, in connection with a truck-driving school for soldiers at the fort. After 4,000 to 5,000 men were examined, he concluded that negroes had bet- ter night sight than whites. He then called Dr. Miles to confirm his dis- covery—with “startling results.” Dr. Miles picked at random seven whites and eight negro selectees. He lined up the selectees on a night- blackned field, and told them to look at a point 100 feet away, where a stick had been placed. On each end of the stick was & square of white cardboard, and the soldiers were asked whether. the stick was in a horizontal or vertical posi- tion. The negroes could see the cards, but the whites could not. Most of the whites had to approach to within 50 feet—one-half the distance —before they made out the cards. That would indicate that the negroes as a whole could see. twice as well at night as the white men. One Of Greatest Needs Allies Cannot Crush Hitler Until Air Superiority Is Gained The fighting in the Eastern Medi- terranean will go on, and it will be pressed with the utmost vigor on land and at sea. There is no reason to believe that the Germans will have any easy task in an attack on‘ Suez. The important point to remember, however, is that even if: they score ay victory in the Middle East, that will | not end the war. Nofhing will end) the war until superiority in. the air enables the Allies to crush the pres- ent threat to the freedom of the world. The lesson that the Battle of Crete teaches, is that the only way by which the. Nazi terror can. finally be eliminated from the: ‘world is through the establishment of over- whelming superiority in the air. That is a lesson for the British Empire, and undoubtedly also a lesson for the American people. : Managed Crystal Palace Sir Henry Buckland Hoped It Would Be Restored Weilth LEAGUE presents TOPICS CANADA of >} VITAL INTEREST HEALTH EFFICIENCY In connection with its campaign for increased health and efficiency as a part of the Dominion’s war effort, the Health League of Canada points to what has been effected in Britain by the added insistence on public health measures. Official figures from London, says the League, show that the general health of the people is higher to-day than it as been for several years, de- spite the appalling conditions under which they are forced to live. _ There had been fear that damage to drains, as a result of bombing, might produce epidemics of typhoid in the large-“British cities. Actually, there was less typhoid in Britain during the early months of 1941 than in corresponding periods in 1939 and 1988, though the incidence remained about the same as in 1940. The crowding of air raid shelters has not resulted in epidemics of sick- ness, to the contrary, communicable disease has decreased. In part, this result {s attributed to the provision of medical service in the shelters, and to the avoidance of delay in the.. treatment of illness. The Health League - believes that greater attention to public health in Canada should be paid at this time, and. that thousands of working hours now lost yearly could be saved by the élimination of preventable diseases. — For British Children Machine Tool Workers In Cincinnati Plant Send Evaporated Milk Forty-eight tins of evaporated milk were found in each of three © cases of machine tools from the United States received by the min- istry of supply and ordnance. Attached to each case was this typewritten slip: “Employees of the Jones machine tool works at Cincinnati, send: this box to employees where this machine is sent. . ‘“The milk is intended for your children. apd has been sent without the knowledge of the purchasers of these tools or any agent connected with same.” Not Really Superstitio But Queen Elizabeth Evidently Be- Meves In Touching Wood Queen Elizabeth believes in ‘touch- Everybody . who. knows him, is sorry for Sir Henry Buckland, inte | ager of London’s Crystal Palace, | who witnessed the destruction of the | north tower of the palace the other day. Appointed in 1914, he was hop- ing to. restore the former reputation of the palace as a pleasaunce for the people, but the war came and “7.M.S. Crystal Palace” was occu- pied by sailors. Sir Henry, originally a@ draper’s manager, is a brother-in- law of that famous laryngologist to the King and Queen, Sir Milsom Rees, and lives in the house that. was built for Paxton in the palace grounds. Easily Explained One Reason Why Nazis Have Not _ Destroyed British Zoos ‘But the Germans are almost tear- ful in their angry , protest. against even the implication that they would bomb a zoo and injure any of the wild animals therein. A. tenement house is a “military objective” to the Nazis. So is a hospital or a school. But a zoo?-' Ach Himmel, nein! ing wood.” 5 : During a visit to the King George and Queen Elizabeth Club for Ser- - vice Women of the Empire, her majesty asked a young Irish cook. in the basement kitchen if the gas sup- | phy had been cut off as a vesult of air raids. “Oh no,” the Irish less replied. “We haven't been without gas, yet.” The Queen promptly touched the table and said “we had better touch wood then, just to be on the safe side.” ~ Dakar As Springboard ~ Value Of French Possession Is Fully Realized By Germany z \The Buffalo Courier-Express says: Talk of American expeditionary forces to Dakar at this time comes under the head of fantastic specula- tion. ‘But talk of French “‘collabor- ation” with Germany to hold Dakar is neither fantastic nor: speculative.
