PRISON CAMP RUCTION

NEW YORK PRESS ACCOUNT CANADIAN CORRESPONDENT SENTENCED. ’(Rec. 9.20> ’ OTTAWA, Nov. 25. Edward Rohrbough. correspondent of the New York “T’me” magazine, pleaded guilty to a charge, laid under the Defence Regulations, concerning the transmission to “Time” of the stor” of the disturbance- in tho German prison camp at Bowmanville, Canada, such transmission being in violation of the censorship rules. The charge specifically stated that the accused had transmitted information prejudicial to the safety of the State and to efficiency in the prosecution of the war. Rohrbough received- a suspended sentence of two y-ear:;.

The chap wearing the brown bowler (looked like a commercial), noting a fellow-passenger by ths- “limited” lighting a cigarette remarked: “I see you’re a heavy cigarette smoker.” “How d’you know?” queried the other, looking, surprised. “Oh. it don’t need a ‘Sherlock’ to tell that,” laughed the stranger, “look at your fingers ! Buy why smoke ready-, mades ? You should roll your own, same as me. Those packet things are often as dry as a bone —and as tasteless, through being kept so long in stock. Besides, rolling your own comes a lot cheaper. Roll them just as you want them —then they re always mo'st and fresh.” "What’s your tobacco?” asked the youth. “Riverhead Gold —sweet as a nut, full of flavour, and can’t hurt you—it s ‘toasted.’ Let m e roll you one? Then you’ll see.” ’ And he did see ! “Toasted” is at once th« finest and most harmless of all tobaccos. There are only five brands: Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Pocket Edition, Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold. The two latter are appreciated by all cigarette smokers. —Advt.
