Novel Idea to Promote Sales II Instituted by Loan Authorities] ln Canada.

A GREAT explosion rent the air of war-battered Ortona, on Italy's Adriatic coast, last; December 21. German paratroop units, laying waste the town as the Canadians approached, had blown up the historic Bascilica of! St. Thomas, the Apostle. It! happened, incidentally, to be thel feast day of St. Thomas, the day] when for centuries pilgrims had; ﬂocked to the apostles crypt for‘ prayer. 1 The Canadians, as all the world knows, ﬁnally captured Ortona, after a grim, bloody, house-to-‘I house ﬁght in which many of the» Dominion's troops gave their‘ lives or suffered wounds. _, And now, from the shattered‘ crypt of the Bascilica, several fragments of chestnut wood have come to Canada. Nine insignia of the Sixth Victory Loan— one for each province — have been fashioned in the form of shields, with the “winged V" symbol andl

f Sixth l.oan To

the inscription “Sixth Victory Loan - April-May-1944" super- imposed on each one. The face o! the wooden base of each shield is made from the ancient Ortona chestnut wood.

At a national ceremonial on Parliament Hill, Ottawa, at Sat- urday noon, April 22, the nine insignia will play a dominant role. Prime Minister Macken- zie King will deliver an address. and Hon. J. L. Ilsley, minister of ﬁnance, will ask Graham F‘. Tow- ers, Dominion chairman of the National War Finance Commit- tce, to accept as head of a volun- tary people's organization the responsibility for carrying out the pledge symbolized by the in- signia — the pledge to back the armed forces to the fullest de gree by all-out support to the Sixth Victory Loan.

Representatives of the forces will then receive the insignia from Mr. Ilsley and Mr. Towers and will hand them to couriers, who in turn will transmit the insignia immediately by air to

Island Girl, Shipyard Worker ,

Who Christens Ship, Invests

Her Earnings in

llalifax, April 21—-In a cor-‘ vettc bouncing upon the waves somewhere at sea today rides a! lad of the Royal Canadian Navy, while in the Halifax Shipyards a slim, pretty girl of 21 works on ship patterns for destroyers, hoping, she says, to do her part toward hastening his homecom- ing.

The girl is Rita Gallant, of Ilowlaii, Prince lidward Island,

whose philosophy is that the more ships that are built by_ herself and others the more

men may get into the ﬁght and the sooner victory will come. Besides she like; the work.

Rita is somewhat of a “ﬁrst lady" in the shipbuilding busig ness in Canada. The ﬁrst wo-‘ man to work on the construction of destroyers in Canada, she‘ will christcn the second Tribal, class destroyer to be built in Canada, ILMAIZS. Nootka, to be launched here on April 25.

says, had no thoughts about‘ the shipping business whatever until on coming to Halifax to‘ seek war work; she and n girl

friend were sent by National Selective Service to the Ship- yards. Before that she had

been a domestic.

After 19 months at the Ship- yards she likes the work "ﬁne." The “mold loft." is her head- quarters, where the wood tem- plates that form patterns for various parts of the ship are made, to be later reproduced in steel by the plate shop workers.

Seeking her out, a reporter was told she would be found in the “mold loft." After climb- hig many stairs he came to the spacious room so designated, only to ﬁnd that she had "gone out with Charlie." As it hap- penned, this did not signify she had gone out to have a 800d time with the gentleman men- tloned. "Charlie" was located and he in turn showed the way to where Rita was working do-L

On arriving at the Shipyards, she and her friend were given a course for several weeks. “Up until that time I hadn't seen s blueprint."

The ﬁrst thing she was shown was a “scrieve board," which sounded to the reporter-—un- skilled in the mysteries of ship- building\—like some sort of ouija board through the use of which one determined the pro- per place for placing certain pieces which, ﬁtted together, made a destroyer.

According to her, she st ﬁrst was just as confused by it as the reporter W85 when she tried to explain it to him. "I knew there was such a thing as port

It would be a shame if he did not know those pleasures again. Ho wants all those things and he has earned the right to have them. He has given up four years of his life to keep them safe. Wouldn't it be pitiful if he should die in that last unnec- essary hour just when ‘home was within reach once more’!

Help him to come home that one hour sooner which may mean his life. Send your money to ﬁght at his side. Your Vic- tory Bonds bought today might be just enough to tip the scales in his favor. That youngster dreaming of home would then see his dream come true before he became Canada's last casual- 1y
