Close to 700 tons of steel, to be conserved In the construction of 750 freight box cars to be built for the Canadian Pacific railway will go Into the pool of essential metals currently employed In the Canadian war effort.

The experiment to replace much needed metal, used as outside panels for box cars, has resulted in the successful substitution of Canadian wood, which has withstood the toughest, tests. Five ply British Columbia fir, of an Inch thick, replaces the l10th of an Inch thick steel sheeting formerly used. The substitution has reduced the net weight of steel requirerifor each freight i box car by approximately 1,800 pounds. It Is estimated that the 750 cars will be able to distribute 700 extra tons of freight weight per trip. 1 LTY Don't think you must dose yourself when you need a laxative.

Threatened with blackmail by a burglar, their position becomes even more uncomfortable when the husband returns and expects an explanation.

The oast, including Peggy Jar man, Mary Louise Nighswander, Jack Sutherland, Ted Brownell, George Brodersen and Dave Mc Kee all performed skillfully, particularly in the first play. During the intermission, Thelma Wilson presented piono solos Tarantella by Liszt and as an encore The Flight of The Bumble Bee, by Rimsky Korsakov.
