The man and woman In the

knows some headline-making bit
of information which never ap-
pears In his local newspaper.
Wartime censorship is the ex-
PLANTATION.
Windsor's situation is unique in
this respect.
Canadian editors say that no.
where else along the border are
their eountrymen so America
minded. Nowhere else does a
large Canadian city lie few min
utes from an American metropolis.
Dominion censors can't keep
Windsorites from reading Ameri-
can newspapers or listening to
American tradio programs.
SAILING NEWS BANNED
Although it is a safe bet 1.-THE
majority of Windsorites knew
when the Essex Scottish was
going to Camp Borden and had
an idea when the first Canadian
soldiers sailed for England, Cana
dian newspapers did not mention
the events.
furthermore, military units lose
their identity as soon as they
leave Canada.
Windsorites first learned the
Essex Scottish had reached Eng
land when a story came through
saying their former mayor, David
A. Croll, now an Essex Scottish
lieutenant, was ION guard duty
with a recently arrived unit"

Canada quarters the prisoners OF
war sent across the Atlantic.
Even Hitler's picture appears
seldom, except in caricature.
Much of this censorship is left
to the discretion of the editor.
Even newspaper employees are
investigated thoroughly before
they are hired.
Newspapers work constantly
with the Canadian Mounted Po-
lice, the group in charge OF com-
batting subversive activities.
A number of Communist and
foreign language papers have'
been banned and Windsor news
stands no longer carry several
pulp publications from the United
States.
Thus far none OF Americas WE'LL
known magazines or newspapers
have been excluded from Canada.
Canadians generally must watch
their speech. Talk which might
hinder the war effort is punish
able by Imprisonment. The De-
tense of Canada Act prohibits
the making of any adverse or UNI
favorable statement, report or
opinion likely to prejudice the
defense of Canada or the efficient
prosecution of the war"

manufacturers from S1.000,000 to
