WILL MARCH TO BERLIN ON EACH SIDE OF ROAD Following is an exerpt from a talk by Quentin Reynolds, foreign cor- respondent for Collier's Magazine, in a recent radio address: You know Hitler has made one great mistake in Canada and in Am- ica! For years he has been trying to tell us this was not our war." for years he has been trying to tell us that Britain and America had noth- ing in common, and for the past 8 months he has been trying to tell us of the great differences which exist between Russia and the Americas. He's failed. We know there is only one great fundamental difference be- tween Russia. Britain and America It is this: here in America we drive our ears on the right side of the road, in Britain they drive on the left, and as anyone who has ever been to Moscow knows, those Russ- ians invariably drive down the middle of the road. But the -oad to Berlin is a wide one. and there is room enough on it for all of us, and we here on this continent will take the right side of the road, and Rus<i;i can take the middle of the road, and Britain can take the left of the road and we'll go swinging along side by side. And no matter how long the road is. no matter how many detours there may be through the Far East and other places, no matter how rocky the road w, It won't matter because we know as long as we three trust each other, that road will hrinjr us to Berlin --' together. Meeting of Old Boys Called In lorwito The following letter was received on Monday from Mr. Burton E.

It i hoped that there will be a large attendance at the meeting: A meeting* of the executive offic- ers of tiie Flesherton Old Boys and Girls Executive Committee was held at the office of Burton E. Field A Co., 12 Jordon St., Toronto, on Fri- day evening, March 20th. A discus- sion arose in connection with future plans of the Association, in which only a few of the faithful have been displaying any interest for the past year or two. > It was decided to call a general (annual) meeting of the Association to foe held at 12 Jordan St., on Tuesday, March 3lst, at 8 p.m., with a view to ascertaining the wishes of all Fleshertunians in Toronto and vicinity as to the future conduct of the Association, viz: to carry on as at present, from year to year, or discontinue all acivities until the war is ended, and in the latter case, to appoint trustees to administer the funds of the Association, until such time as the Association may be revived. I shall be glad, therefore, if all Fleshertonians in Toronto and vicin- ity, who may read this notice, will accept this as an invitation to at- tend this meeting in lieu of a regu- lar notice, as our mailing list has d'windled materially the past few years, due to removals from one ad- dress to another on the part of many of our old friends and members, wtu have not seen fit to advi= ( > us of the change of address. Members are asked to contact their friends from Flesharton by telephone and en- deavor to secure attendance at this meeting. As this is the annual meeting, the election of officers will be on the agenda for the evening, and the more who are present makes it ssiblp to fill the offices whi4i have t*ecom<> vacant and will hp vacant at :he end of this year.

It must be completed by March 31ft. the close of the focal year, wfaa* insurance books now in use moafc )M turned in. The information gather- ed will be used to bring the Com- mission records up to date, and alw furnish information for a man- power inventory which th GoY0ra- ment is making. This inventory i* being made under the authority of an . Order-in-Counoil, passed under the War Measures Act. The Unemployment Insurance Commission is now distributing the new forms for this registration to employees all over the Dominion. There are more than 160,000 em- ployers with insurable employees iB Canada, and the number of injured workers is over 2,000,000. The man- power inventory registration will, at course, include many more than 2,- 000,000, embracing, as it does, inanr. able and non-insurable employee* of industry. The forms which are being dist- ributed have been prepared with a view to ascertaining the skill and training of workers, so that Can- ada's working strength may be utilized in the most effective manner. The war effort is constantly eattiaf for more and more trained and skilled men. It is hoped, through the inventory, to discover workers with skill and training which may be of value in carrying on the max- imum war effort. The registration <rards are beinp sent to employer* who will see that they are filled out in respect to al! thir employees. They will then b returned to the Employment and Claims Offices, of which there are more than 100 across Canada.

It is essential that the reparation be completed and old insurance books be turned in hy the end of thm month. Information in respect to the reg- istration and the issue of insurance books is obtainable at an.r of the Unemployment Insurance Commis- sion. ELIMINATE HUGE TRUCK TO SAVE GAS AND RUBBER T>ad u.nally make-* himself scarce during the housecleaTiiner blitz. When one room after another is invadW, he's afraid he may be seized for the mrn>Tfne Tip. Gasoline will bt? rationed after April 1st, while the rubber shortage will make tires a scarce commodity. We think the Government might do something about the large fleets of trucks when everything represented in rubber, gasoline and oil is needed in the war effort. Trucking concerns with dozens of hug* units, should be forced to take them off the road. Canada's railways could take care of most of this transportation. Not only wi>uld a saving: be made in gas. oline and tires, but highway upkeep as well. In the Spring of the year, huge trucks, some of them over- loaded, are permitted to use the highway system without any restric- tions, and the condition of Highway No. 38. lading to Belleville, is an excellent example of the damage they can do. As H newsrpaper correspondent oh- terves. classification of these huge trucits for moving: raw materials from mines and forests to foundry anil factory, the finished products to ports and military camps, would bt a useful war purpose. Many could he turned into carriers for troops and other military equipment. El- imination of these huge fleets trans- porting merchandise for commercial use. isi a sacrifice which civilians eoald make for the war effort. Tweed News.
