When RCAF searching aircraft lo-
cate stranded airmen, but cannot get
to them, a trained pigeon is dropped
in a metal waterproof container
hitched to a small parachute. The
stranded men then send the “para-
trooper” bird back with a message
on their needs and condition, the
Canadian information bulletin,
"Weekly Editor Looks at Ottawa,”
reveals.
A foreign born citizen who knew
only a little English, walked into a
building that housed a Red Cross
center, ration boards and other war
agencies. A nurse took his name
and address and sent him into an-
other room, where attendants drain-
ed a pint of blood from him.
Then, obviously bewildered, he
asked in broken English: "Now do
I get my gasoline?”

clean and ready for another winter of satisfactory serv-

wisely. Remember, |ust because the cost of Lone Star

is no reason why it should be wasted.
