The order is effective today. The Minister's announcement said the two top priorities include, "all war industries and essential civilian services, including the delivery of fuel in cities, food processing and meat packing plants and many Other services."

The publication of newspapers and the dissemination of news are also included in the which come under the order.

No estimate was available of the number of workers who come un- der the governmenfls latest man- power action, but officials said the effect would be "very widespread". It is understood a further anoun- ccment will be made givln! more detail of the types of employment which fall within the provisions of the order.

ness would result from refusal to fic

More Cows, More Milk in Canada

OTTAWA, Sept. 20—(CP)—- Count not least among war

achievements that of Bossy, the cow.

Canadians are drinking more milk, and in spite of rationing. thev are using more butter,

The precise figures reveal that in July, 104's. the lnilk production per cow per day ill Canada was 22.1 pounds, compared with 20.6 in 1942 and 15.8 In 1930.

Not only was each cow giving more milk, but the perccmrlrss oi’ cows milking to the total was high. er—8'i.2 per cent against 83.1 in July. 1942. Reports from dairy correspond- ents received by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics indicated that the cow population is increasing addition of young stock Just coming into maturity. "The health.giving qualities of fresh milk are apparently giving it increased favor," said the Bur- eau. in a report on the dairy situ-

ation.

"The consumptl of whole milk

showed pronounced gains during the month of July as compared with the same month a year a o. and owing to the shift 1n popu a- tlon in industrial areas, the ad- vance in fluid milk sales may be expected to continue." Apart from the incleasedfluid milk consumption, the eau llot- d that the combined output of creamery butter and cheddar cheese in August represented the equivalent of 1,200,000,000 pounds of milk, an increase of about 33.000. 000 pounds compared with the com- bined make in forms of milk for tglgmsoondlnghmohth

Halifax Played Important Role In Churchill Visit

HALIFAX, Sept. 20 -- ICPJ — This old new-world seaport has guarded many wartime secrets but perhaps none as significant as it has burstingiy held the last few weelm — the story of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's ar- rival and departure from North American shores during the course cf his recent visit. ,

Now that the British leader is back in Britain after ills five-week round, of conferences and discus- sions, the story of his Atlantic voyaging can be told. Halifax lays an important and historic roe in that account of the visit that plac- ed Canada on the front (pages of the world for days on on .

The Prime Minister arrived here one evenln early 1n August aboard s giant Br tlsh transport. and was immediately placed aboard a waiting special train and whisked off through the night to Levis, opposite Quebec.

From there his arrival was an- pounced next morning as he puss- ed into Quebec for his now his- toric conferences with President Roosevelt and other United Nat- ions leaders.

Secret We’; Kept.

The secret has born wefl kept until now. The general imn-essicll had been that he trr-vclhd by plane. or else directly to Quebec. In fact. some newspapers printed maps showing his route from Britain across the Atlantic and straight to Quebec.

Canuoks Were Right at Ilome In Sicily

By DOUGLAS AMARON (Canadian Press Staff Writer) IN ENGLAND.

Sept. 20 — (OP) - SiciIy's wind- ing roads bear such s striking re- semblance to England's country lanes that the Canadians. found themselves right at home when they invaded the Italian island.

Three years training in south- ern England - difficult terrain from a. point of view in movement —were invaluable to the Canadians in Sicily, Lt-Gen, A. G. Mc- Naughton. Canadian Army Com- mandcr. said when he returned from his visit to the troops in the Mediterranean.

Sicilyls towns all seem to be built on hills and tile roads wind around and around until they reach the top. invariably, the General cross-roads are at the tc-p of a mountain,

When the Germans destroyed some of the roads, tho Canadians turned to goat tracks—little dot- tcd lines on the map. They couldn't move their equipment over these paths so sent bulldozers ahead to carve out passable highway.

Other points from Gen. Mc- Naughtorrs interview with corres- pondents:

Most of the equipment used by the Canadians was made in Can- ada. Exceptions were filnae items for which spares had to come from a common pool. In such in- stances Canadlans and British us- ed the same equipment.

Some tanks. medical stores and other equipment were lost on the way to Sicily but the Canadians captured Italian material. By the time he left Sicily. Gen. McNaugh- ton said. mplacsments had been received from overseas.

Speaking of the Canadians’ health. Gen. McNaughton said he never saw fitter soldiqrs and they are brown as berries. ‘Phere were .1 few cases of sunburn at first but now the men can go all day
