Tribute to Destroyers

Destroyers, Built for Spood and Diversity Called Sheepdogs of

High tribute is paid to destroy‘- ers, the sheepdogs of the sea, in "In Which We Serve," the biography of a destroyer written and produced by Noel Coward and dfllcated ‘t0 the Royal Navy. which is the cur- rent attraction at the Prince Ed- ward Theatre through United Art- ists release.

Destroyers are the Jacks of all the Sea Trades. it has been said. “Ihev guard the battle fleet and the vulnerable aircraft carriers against submarine attack. They track d0Wn and search merchant men. they protect submarines on their patrols, and mlnelayers at their tasks.

"They make attacks upon euepnv convoys. They are on the 500i I0 help evacuate the army from deathiraps such Dunkirk, Greece or Crete,"

"Destroyers are lively little ships. built to make s bad weather alike. and for long sea passages. Usefulness at a diversity of tasks is their creed, and speed their defense."

llowe Discusses Banning Sugar

OTTAWA, May 13 (CPw-Finance Minister Ilslcy said today in the House of Commons that housewives applications for 209,000,000 pounds oi sugar for canning represented more sugar than had ever been used in Canada in the past for canning.

Gordon Graydon, Progressive Conservative House Leader. had asked an explanation of Prices Board policy on canning sugar. When the Prices Board askcd housewives to make early applica tion for cmmingsugar. the sugges tion had been made that canning should be undertaken on as large a_ scale as possible. Now. with the limited sugar supplies. housewives iolt they had planned in vain.

Mr. llsley said the ration admin- istration had taken steps to obtain early applications for canning sugar so supplies could be set wide.

It did not seem possible that 209.- 000,000_ pounds of sugar could be used in canning. The 100000.000 pounds being set aside was as much as or more than had ever been used in the past.
