signment with glee and rather en- joyed his task.
 A special vote of thanks was rendered to the mess sergeant, Stan ley P. Poskavage, by the soldiers, the former working feverishly to arrange for the units supper.
 The greater part of the day was spent in the recruits dozing off on their new hunks, unpacking their personal belongings and arranging their wardrobe.
 Lights went out at 10:45 with all members present and accounted for.
 One Good Job to Another
 A humorous sidelight is this fact. Anthony J. Coppolo, better known to the lads around the south end as Tommy" joined the army of the United States to stop waiting on tables. At Wednesday morn ing's mess call, Tommy was assigned the same job at the mess hall. And his eyes popped as wide as Eddie Cantor'S.
 An assuring note to mothers and sweethearts who have soldiers with Battery G is that the best care is extended to each and everyone of the members. If one lad complains of being sick he is ushered into bed to await sick call of the next morning.
 All in all, the boys are in the army now, and they love it, accord ing to comments in the barracks. The one fact that bothers members of Battery G is how in the world are they going to visit the nearest town. The only one they can get to is IA miles away.
 Incidentally, members of the 208th coast artillery band commanded by Warrant Officer Michael Trenta- lange, spent a cozy evening in their new quarters. According to W. O. Trentalange the boys are resting and enjoying themselves in the new climate. The temperature here we'd nesday morning was 10 below.

. Camp Edwards, Falmouth, Mass. Battery G and E. respectively commanded by Capt. John J. Egan and Capt.

Stops were made in New Haven, Branford, Conn.,, and in Rhode Island. The boys got a taste of icy weather in Rhode Island where the troop train stopped for few moments. It was as icy as the North Pole and the temperature was below.

brunt of a fight which benefited the United States nationally, interna- tionally, financially and economical ly. Yet every war need bought by Britain and Canada from the Unit ed States had 10 per cent tackled on as exchange.
 Then had come President Roose- velt's speech. John Canada felt this was the greatest Christmas gift democracy had ever received. It wasn't just 8 speech by Franklin Roosevelt. It was the vocie of the American people.
 Johns irritation about exchange had been soothed by the Presidents reference to the loan of military equipment. There is no exchange tax on loan, no war profit. CABLE FROM
 LIVERPOOL
 That evening MT. and Mrs. John Canada dropped in on 8 neighbor. They found a house of dread. The Neighbors had two children of their own and had taken two small Eng fish war guests. The children were all in bed. Mrs. Neighbor was cry- ing. Silently Henry Neighbor passed over 8 cablegram.
 Our little guests .. :. their mother and father Liverpool"
 The morning paper had told of the raids. There had been little or no damage to the docks and other military objectives.
 John thought of a phrase In his dead pephew's letter. There's an air raid going on but Heinie is flying high, scared to come down, the planes look like little pencils, like minnows in a pool"
 The children's father had been an afraid warden, his mother in an auxiliary service. They had been killed on duty.
 As he walked home over the moonlit snowy road John Canada said to his wife:
 Europe is long way off, but our home and the NeighborS hvae been struck by the war. My nephew was young and gallant and went be- cause he must. These children's parents were quiet and unwarlkie, and the same spirit was theirs. A

 could learn from Canada'S experi- ence.
 For instance, the Canadian auto industry.
 Johns car dealer had told him that despite heavy war taxes he has 8 buyer for every car he can stock. Output of private cars, you see, has been limited so Canadian factories can concentrate on $60,- 100000 worth of war orders from Britain, Canada, Australia, India and other parts of the empire.
 For the first time the big auto plants have co-operated on stand ardiZation. General Motors and Ford in Canada are turning out hundreds of war transports whose parts are almost completely inter- changeable.
 The activity in the automobile industry is reflected in all other Canadian industry. The national economy has turned to war work. Production is already 70 per cent higher than the peak production of the last war. New plants costing $280, 100000 are being built. The government has financed many in- dustries to the tune of $500 ,000, ,000. The gross value of all manufactured products in Canada pre-war was $3, 500 100000.
 The new plants will turn out $31 ,000, ,000 worth of shells this year, 96,000,000 other armamentS, $15,- 100000 airplanes and equipment, $15,00000 automotive, 87,000,00 chemicals and explosives, $11,000,- 900 machine tools and $34,000,000 miscellaneous.
 CONTROLLERS
 SAY NO"
 John Canada admits to himself that unemployment and labor prob lens have been solved. For the first time in many years he has no labor problems in his own factory. The men have come to him and told him they are "al out" in the war work they had undertaken.
 There has been no wages and hours problem. The factory works three eight-hour shifts and the wages are adequate. The men have agreed on the old scale, but with the cost of living rising, they had been promised a bonus to cover the differential.
 A wise government has appointed controllers of all phases of economy. When there was a rush to hoard butter, the controller stepped in. When there was a shortage in ba- con he regulated the price. When rents started to soar 8 rents con- troller said "no."
 John Canada has financial tn- terest in block of flats. His part ner manages the property and as the demand increased he boosted the price. The tenants appealed to the local rent controller. There had been an open hearing and because of the increased cost of operating the flats the controller permitted an increase of $2.50 on a $50 rent. The tenants accepted it and so did his partner and everybody went away feeling good.
 Just as labor is not allowed to capitalize on the war needs, capital is also held in check. John has been able to get many needed inn provements in the plant and to modernize some of his machinery, because the head office knows it will lose most of any inflated profits under the corporations taxes. There will be no war millionaires arising on the ashes of this war.
 The exchange situation used to irritate John. He felt Britain and her dominions were bearing the
