With the cash, Aluminum of Canada expanded its facilities on Quebec's Saguenay River, helped the U.S. over the aluminum hump with quick shipments from its reserve.

George Kenney was raised (to a height of 5 ft. 6 in.) in Brookline, Mass. He studied civil engineering at M.I.T., but left after three years to become an instrument man for Quebec & Saguenay Railroad. Then he became a civil engineer and a contractor.

Escorted by the Canadian destroyers Skeena and Saguenay and the British cruisers Glasgow and Southampton, the Empress put out to sea, while crowds ashore roared God Save the King. From the bridge the King and Queen waved their farewell; the Queen was almost invisible behind the high railing until something was brought for her to stand on. On Chebucto Head a great smelly bonfire of wood, oil and old tires, visible for 80 miles, was built to cheer them on their way. But for a brief stop at St. John's, capital of Newfoundland, Britain's oldest colony...
Somewhere in the North Atlantic lay a squadron of British war boats, waiting to pick up the Empress of Britain (in a fine new coat of white) when the Canadian destroyers Skeena and Saguenay escort her out of Halifax late this week. Meantime, Canada's King had three more of his provinces to inspect-New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia-and Britain's oldest colony: Newfoundland...
