A pleasant faced, white haired, benevolent old gentleman was walking on his lawn in the early hours of the morning as two New York policemen hurried home from night duty. A second glance showed he was in his socks, and carried his boots over his shoulder. The police- men stopped to inquire whether anything was wrong, to discover ultimately that he was a mys- terious midnight marauder who had defied

the police for 15 years.

Taken to the police

station, the pleasant oldman said he had com- mitted over 1.000 burglaries in the period. but took nothing but cash, as when he started out professionally 25 years ago. he took a watch, pawnecl it, and it led to his having to do a

“stretch" of five to ten years-

That was a

lesson to him, he said, and he had stolen noth-

ing but money since.

He said he always wore

During the past few months the Canadian Government has been conducting, in certain cen- tres in the United Kingdom, an intensive “Can- ada Calling” campaign, forcibly drawing the at- tention of consumers to the variety and merits of the Canadian food products available for their

U50.

As a result in some instances the sale of

Canadian produce in the week in which the cam- paign was launched in their areas increased by from 2o to 10o per cent. in comparison with the corresponding week of the previous year. The largest wholesale organization in Scotland, for example, with, hundreds of retail outlets, re- ported an increase of I63 per cent. in the sale of salmon. _Although the campaign will not term- inate until the end of the year, it is already be- ing reported from the United Kingdom that sup- plies of certain Canadian products, particular- ly hams. canned milk, canned vegetables. and canned lobster, are inadequate as compared with supplies of similar foreign articles.
