Jeeps To Become
Washing Machines

By EDNA JAQUES

Now that peace is really here
. .. a thousand years of it we
hope.. ... the wheels of industry
have: begun to turn to peacetime
goods.. But we will have to be
patient for quite some time yet.

Accompanying the lifting of
many restrictions, Finance Min-
_ ister [isley said, in a recent broad-
east, “Though we opened the way
for the production of many civ-
ilian goods, consumers must not
expect an immediate inerease in
these commodities.”’

It will take months to re-con-
vert machines back to making
household articles. Machines that
once made bombers, jeeps and
jet-propelled planes will turn to
peace time goods.

Fighter planes have released
copper for new eaves-troughs.

Rocket guns will take a back
seat to frigidaires and toasters.
The aluminum and_ steel alloys
will come to town as new wash-
ing machines. Even the kitchen
sink is back in its old place...
large as life.

‘The metal from one jeep will

. boil back into five washing ma-

chines. Two old steel helmets
will make a brand new toaster.

Fruit juice squeezers are hand-
me-downs from hand grenades.
Your new skid chains were anti-
aircraft shells. Your new bicycle
tire might have been a gas mask.
We ean thank the stars they
weren’t needed.

The new lawn mower perhaps
saw service as a 25-pounder gun.
Material that might have gone
into a half-ton truck will make
five bath tubs.

Steel — copper — iron — tin
plate — alloys — lead — brass —
zine, have all been to war along
with the boys.

' Now, they can stay home and
be. made into thousands of house-
hold gadgets.

You will need to remember
that it took Canada: quite a long
time’:to get into high gear for
war—it will take months to get
' back into gear for peace.

oThe big: thing is—we’re on the
Ways

. During the war Canada has be-

with courtesy and hospitality to
partake of a Red Cross tea served
by the ladies of Beaver Point dis-
trict. Our hostesses were smil-
ing and gay and made us feel
very much at home. One would
wonder how they could put up
such a tea with sugar and other
materials rationed. I understood
that about 100 of our passengers
enjoyed this service. I must say
that Beaver Point is a very pretty
spot with beautiful shade trees
and ferns growing along the
banks and dipping their heads in
-the sea. There is a little general
store at the head of the dock,
where settlers can purchase near-
ly everything they require.

At 5.80 p.m. we backed away
from the dock. Our hostesses
waved good-bye and our skipper
answered with three blasts on the
whistle.

We arrived at Swartz Bay at
6.15 p.m. where busses and cars
were waiting to transport our
passengers to Victoria and _ pri-
vate homes.

Victoria and Saanich people
should certainly take this delight-
ful cruise through the Gulf Is-

that I admired ‘the courtesy we
