German effort to keep US out of war outlined
Strempel described a German propaganda network in the United States before US entry into World War II. He cited $600,000 funneled to New York’s German information library by Ribbentrop and Goebbels and said his own payments to Vierbeck ranged $70,000 to $100,000. A German envoy, Westrick, sought to mobilize American business ties to preserve peace and unlock blocked credits. Hollywood inquiries about antiwar films were rejected as unfounded by the embassy.

Source of Radium One of Best-Kept Secrets of the War
The article examines uranium origins for the wartime atomic program, challenging the belief that Canada, notably Eldorado at Great Bear Lake, supplied most ore. It notes Eldorado’s 1941 closure, reopening in 1944 under government control, and suggests Belgium’s Congo as a major prewar source, while accounting for U.S. deposits as potential contributors.

Rector Works- As a Reporter
Sarnia Ont cP Rev George Stone rector of Point Edward and three Anglican churches serves as a part time Observer reporter for three years. He treats journalism as a humane sideline and says boy scouts align with his interests. Stone recalls delaying murder coverage, preferring constructive work, and once reported on his own church fire with an eight column headline. He works 8am to 7pm, drives a battered car, and handles parochial calls daily before late nights, when fires and emergencies interrupt rest.
