Ford Plants Help 100000 Canadians Windsor July 5
Ford Motor Company of Canada employs over 100000 Canadians and dependents, with more than half of its production for Mary purposes for the British Empire. A House of Commons suggestion urged government takeover of the Canadian Ford plant due to Henry Ford's stance on airplane engines in U S plants. In Oregon, twenty deer lured by salt in a new road surface were killed on the Central Oregon highway near Bend, as drivers failed to stop.

Seven Italian Ships Downed In Air Battle
British and French warships at anchor in Alexandria faced air raids that killed 15 natives and wounded seven as nearly 40 bombs hit the harbor area. Some struck a customs building and the Mahmoudich Canal, with one bomb 10 miles west of Alexandria. Anti-aircraft fire raked the port while evacuees poured from the city. The combined fleets remained, with French crews staying aboard, and British officials saying they could not leave harbor to fall into German hands.
