New Cigarette Supply Plan

A new system has been devel0P¢d i0!’ ti" sending of cigarettes from Canada to members of the artiied forces in ltaly,_(lat;er in the Dn- ited Kingdom) which will bring nito operation the equivalent of air mail service, according to a joint statement from the Postmaster Gen- era], [hg Alinistei- of National Defence and the Minister 0f National Defence (for ;\ll’)- Next to lettcrs, cIgarcttcs are highly- regarded as a direct contribution to the well-being and hap- piness of the armed forces. ‘ _

The new svstciti, which will go ittto effect u far as men in the Mediterranczin theatre are cow, on lune ti), involves the sending by air 1113i] of addressed labels, representing cigar- ettes ordered as zit present in Canada, to a Mediterranean depot, where they’ will be drawn against a huge consignment reserve of cigarettes alrcadv btiilt up by bulk shipment. lhe possibil- itiel of loss at sea by enemy action are thus eli- minated, and ilclirery- time 0f ordcrs will be appreciably speeded ‘up. .i\lso, there will bc no loss t0 the individual between the tobacco coiii- panies in Canada and the base p05! OffiCC in ltalv. Under the new arrangement the labcls will be flown to the tobacco reserve depot over- seas where the order is fi'led. Labels will b: duplicated if lost. Replacement stocks are for- warded in bulk shipments. The postofflcc department assumes any loss, in btilk shipment of the cigarettes, ihrotigh enemy action or other cause. between Canada and the overseas depots.

With the inauguration of the new scheme the standardization of all cigarette shipments from any company for the armed forces in the 30o size parcel will become effective. The pack- age of 300 can he far more conveniently hand- led—especially for troops on the move—than can the 1000 size packages. The centralization of all these tobacco parcels addressed to in- dividuals tinder the One agency-the Canadian Postal Corps—will tend to facilitate delivery.

In addition to the main advantages of the plan, it is anticipated that later on, possibly within a month, a system which has been de- vised whereby members of the armed forces overseas will be able to purchase cigarettes di- rect frotn the overseas tobacco dEpots at the rate of 300 for the equivalent of one dollar, will go into operation. This is considered to be an important step and should prove of special benefit to those in the armed forces who have no relatives or friends to send them cigarettes from home.

Em. Credit an?"

-)ne measure which met with little opposi- rion on its introduction in the House of Com- mons this session is a bill “to encourage the provision of intermediate term and short term credit to farmers for the improvement and de- velopment of farms through batik loans, guar- anteed with limitations, by the crown; moneys payable under the Act including expenses of ad- ministration to be paid out of the consolidated revenue fund." While approving the measure in principle, htiwevcr, several meriibcrs have of- fered suggestions with a. view to making its operation more successful.

Lt-Col. _l. .-\. ltoss (Sottris, blah.) stiggest- ed that thc proposed five per cent interest rate ‘ya,- too high. Many farmers are today receiv- ing credit from the litinks at this rate, though they could not have done so a few years ago- The Veterans Land .\ct, he pointed out. PTO" vides an interest rate of 3 1-2 per cent in con- nection with land for these settlers.

lt was generally agrccrl that during the period of transition from war t0 peace agriculture will afford a great deal of employment and a means of rehabilitation, so that anything Parliament can do to assist agriculture iindotibtcdly would help the rehabilitation program. One member said he dottbtcd if there was a farmstead in Canada which docs not need repairs or new buildings of some ltiiiil. There will be greatly increased expenditure especially in the use of electrical equipment on the farm, which, of course, will be of great benefit so far as in- dustrial employment is concerned.

Mr. Percy Black (Cumberland) while ap- proving of the measure, suggested that the Fin- ance .\lilll.s'f(‘l' should at the same time take the sales tax off thc Cllnl of lumber, paint and other Qupplies that go into the cost of farm buildings. Interest on the loans will amount to five per cent; the sales tax is eight per cent, which means a cost of i3 per cent added to the material that goes into farm buildings. Ifthe salestax cannot be rcmnrcd during war time, ati assurance should be given that it will be removed im- mediately on the tcrniituition of the war when the new financing provisions will be tnadc use of to assist the farmer and give employment to help reestablish many returnctl men after the war.

The bill passed first reading on June 8, and will doubtless be fully discussed when it goes into committee.

Normandy And Food.

The coastal rvgitm of France chosen for the Initial invasion in 1944 is the very point from which William tlic Conqueror latmched his ships in I000 for the sticccssftil invasion of Eitglitntl. A short distance from (facn lics Dives-Siir-hlcre.

It is doubtful whether the Normans took any food with them when they began the invasion of England. Armies of another day expected to live off the country. All of our forces to- day carry emergency rations as part of their equipment, atid one of the first photographs re- leased shows the loading of a. field kitchen on a boat. As soon as headquarters are established. this mobile unit goes into action, and hot food is ready for weary men. Before long, even the field bakery' is turning out large loaves of bread which get a rousing welcome, especially after a few days’ dependence upon the cracker- like biscuits of the emergency ration. The field kitchen is a war weapon.

There is one sure way to spot members of the Netherlands Indies Air Force Mitchell Bomber Squadron—thaitks to Wait Disney. While the Squadron was training in the Unit-

School of Jackson, Miss, the Dutch flyers ask- ed the film artist to design an emblem. Disney responded with a design which consists of a winged wooden shoe maimed by a gremlin op- erating a machine gun against an orange back- ground. Before the Squadron left for Australia and action against the Japanese, the United States War Department authorized exclusive use of the emblem by the Dutch airmen. ll i Ill it

Col. Ralston, reviewing the progress of the invasion before the House of Commons, says: "(iencrally speaking, this news is good. .~\ll we can do is to keep right on with training and despatching men, shipping equipment and pay- ing the shot." This, comiqents an exchange, deals everybody a hand.“ In order to train and despatch men, there intist be enlisttneitts. In order to ship equipment, the stuff must be turn- ed otit. In order to pay the shot, there must be no knots in purse strings. Any slackening in any department will be pulling the beaches out from under the feet of our fighting men. i i! l it‘

Canada could allow half of its farms to return to bush, draw 25 per cent of its population from farms and still continue its pres_ent food produc- tion if all the accumulated knowledge on agri- culture were used, Mr. R. B. Walker. Electric Reduction Co., Buckingham, Que, said at the closing session of the Canadian Chemical Con- ference in Toronto. Declaring that four-fifths of all Canadians are on payrolls or dependent on someone who is, Mr. \Valker declared: "The percentage of Canadians who Will have to be assisted by one type of subsidy or another will depend upon the ability of that small group of employers able to find new jobs by selling new

Ho bases his opinion on a complaint-made to him by a native in a nearby naval camp. The native arranged with the father of the girl he was to marry a payment of $88, plus seven cows, which has been the cus- tomary "lobola" or price for a bride. When the native had saved $88 and bought three of the seven cows he returned to the bride's kraal. The
