PAGE SIX ABBOTSFORD, SUMAS AND MATSQUI NEWS Vitae eee oh Wadi WEDNESDAY, NOV. 11, 1942 SS Shoots 1; Miles of Wire In 4 Minutes Why can‘t we supply tele- phone service to everyone who wants it these days? Here's one reason why. A machine gun shoots the equivalent of 1% miles of copper wire in “four minutes. Modern war re- quires huge quantities of cop- per and other materials which are used in the telephone busi- ness. There isn’t enough to go around, and as the armed forces come first, our business must forego adding materially to its lines and equipment un- til after the war. B.C. Telephone Co.

Possibility M-S-A Soldier May Get Victory Blade The Commando Dagger which was in the hands of the Victory Loan Unit 19, made up of dist- ricts in this portion of the Fra- ser Valley, is on its way over- seas to a member of the West- minster Regiment. Symbolizing the loan, the dag- ger was despatched Monday, fol- lowing the unit’s successful com- pletion of the campaign, by Unit Chairman, Reeve W. J. Park of Pitt Meadows. The dagger was sent care of the officer com- manding the regiment with a letter which stated in effect “We send this dagger to you and hope it will be put in capable hands where it will do the most good.” During the last week of the loan campagin, the dagger was on display in the window of the J. S. Daly Stores and attracted considerable attention, Close to 12 inches overall, the dagger is of glintless dark blue Sheffield steel. The grip is of the same metal and is scored to al- low a good grip. The keen blade is sharpened on both edges and rounds down to a needle-like point. It weighs approximately two pounds. Since there will be three other Fraser Valley-Westminster dist- rict daggers sent to the West- minster Regiment, there is a likelihood that one at least will find its way into the hands of a soldier from the centre of the Fraser Valley and perhaps to an M-S-A member.
