die spoke on his experiences from the time he went overseas in 1948 lLntll he returned to Canada in the fall of 1945.

Briefly covering his activities with the R.C.A.F. he told how dis-

d gruntled and dissatisfied his squad-

ron was because of the inactivity of escorting American bombers over France and the Lowlands and watching a better type Spitfire than they were flying get all the cracks at. the "Jerry character." However, just before D-Day the newer type Spits were given to them and he explained the army support work they did until V-E Day; except for one week given them for the fun of tackling Ger- man aircraft -- then back to work strafflng and bombing. It was in that Week SqdnLdr. Trainor knock-

ed down ten enemy ‘planes,

His speech was modest, and he was only prompted to tell of his more exciting experiences by the

resident of N.A A.F.O.C., Major

. S. Notting, who rose to the oc- casion and implored Trainor to “tear off the lid and give us some of the real stuff you went through."

He told how lie was forced to ball out behind enemy lines and was, through the efforts of the

‘French Underground, returned to

his own lines.

The story of his escape is more thrilling than any flcticious spy chase. spent three days und nights in a hay loft with two Rus- sian deserters from the German army, and later mingled with Ger- man soldiers as freely as a farmer m town on a Saturday night, He witnessed the liberation of n French town and told of the un- equalled esctasy and joy of the freed people. He found himself Cheering as wildly as any French- man, for he had been seeding a path through the front line British troops,

He was soon back ln his own outfit and flying against the Nazis when he was forced to bail out a second time over enemy tcr- ritory. This time he was not quite as fortunate in his escape attempt, and told how he missed the help of the French Underground by ten minutes. ‘

Liquor Drought Expected In The United States

BY RJ. ANDERSON NEW YORK. Feb l4 - (C?) - The year i046 may be recorded in the United States as the year of the great. drought, or parched

root.

Distillers who have been unalble in build up extensive reserves fol- lowing the wartime ban on liquor manufacture and accompanying heavy consumption today painted a dark picture of the outlook as a result. of Resident Truman's m- cent food-conservation order. Un- der the order, the use of wheat ln the manufacture of beer and alco- hol wlll be banned affective March l. Use of other grains will be per- mitted on only five days each

month. ~

Brewers said it was too early to say wihat effect the order would have on beer production. Distillers agree that the severity of prospective cuts to wholaalers depends upon how long Presiden Truman's order remains in effect. A majority feel it may be fall be~ fore any improvement ls shown. after the spring wheat crop is har- vested

Despite a s uni. in reduction af- ter VJ-day, d tillers ave not

time to make up the inroads creat- ed by thirsty millions during the war years of high earnings. Stocks are estimated at approximately 269,000,000 gallons, compared to the normal pre-war level of 425000.000

gallons.

Ramis and South American gins are expected to be available in ood quant-i les but the American di- n.k- er has never become as fond of those as his native e and bour-

to bon. He will be unabe to turn to

scotch, either, as pending cuts in Scotland's production make the outlook bleak.

The supply of scotch is so short that. the New Yolk Society of Ries- tourateurs has urged its members to introduce two "scotchles days" a week, similar to the wartime meatless days. The suggested days are Saturday and Sun ay.

The American imb ber likes vodka, though. A New York news- paper reported after a survey that vodka sales had Jumped 50 per cent in the last year. It attributes the Yalta conference for much vodkifs popularity.
