War Rationing . . .


As in the First World War, food shortages and rationing became a part of the reality of life on the home front. This new generation met the culinary challenges posed by strict rationing and developed new recipes. The following recipe was culled from a Sunbeam advertisement in the 1942 May issue of Good Housekeeping Magazine. This advertisement is for the new Sunbeam Mixmaster and a patriotic Sunbeam recipe is attached: "Mixmaster saves my time and energy for Red Cross work," the smiling woman in the ad declares.

Nazi Spy in New Carlisle

On the 9th of November, 1941 a German U-Boat submarine (U-518) entered the Bay of Chaleur on a mission to launch a spy named Werner von Janowski off the coast of New Carlisle. Lt. Werner von Janowski's mission was to land on the Gaspe and make his way to Montreal via the railways. He was supposed to operate under the guise of a radio salesman working for the North Electric Company based in Toronto under the alias of William Branton.

At 12:30am Lt. Werner von Janowski left the U-518 submarine. He spent the remainder of the night on the beach undercover of the cliffs and by 8:30am he was making his way towards New Carlisle. James E. Coull, a CNR Conductor, picked up him and drove him into town. He checked into the Carlisle Hotel with the intention of taking a bath and readying himself for the train that evening. Earle J. Annett Jr. was manning the reception desk and his suspicions were aroused by this stranger: Werner von Janowski claimed to have arrived that morning by bus but the earliest bus into town would only arrive at noon, he paid with money which was out of date, and he left European cigar wrappings and matches behind. Earle Annett Jr. alerted the authorities and that evening the train was boarded in Bonaventure so that Janowski's bags could be searched, he was arrested immediately following the search which turned up German radio transmitters.

An extensive search of Chaleur Bay was launched for the German U-Boat by the HMCS Burlington and Red Deer assisted by RCAF aircrafts. The U-518 submarine was not found. In the following 18 months Lt. Werner von Janowski turned double agent and worked with the RCMP in Montreal sending selected information to the Hamburg in Germany. After this period he was turned over the British Intelligence in England.

Werner von Janowski's Pre-War Years

Werner von Janowski emigrated to Canada and worked as a day labourer near London, Ontario in 1930. He claimed that his father served as a colonel in the German army, 78th Infantry Battalion during the First World War. For the most part he was liked and accepted in the small rural community. In 1932, he married a woman from Toronto, although their marriage fell apart by 1938 when he left to travel northern Ontario. How and when he returned to Germany to enlist in their navy and offer his services as a spy in Canada is unknown.

A War Wedding . . .

This wedding dress was made from the material of a silk parachute. The dress was worn by Lyla Stimson on the occasion of her marriage to Kenneth Beattie. Kenneth Beattie served in Hong Kong with the Royal Rifles, and was imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp near Tokyo for almost four years. This parachute was dropped from an American plane to deliver relief supplies to soldiers on the boats returning home from the POW camps. Kenneth Beattie brought the parachute home and on September 7, 1946, Lyla wore it as a wedding dress when they married. The decision to use the parachute was sentimental, practical, and resourceful. Not only did the dress symbolize hope and liberation, but it would also have been extremely hard to come by silk at this time – war rationing, shortages, and price inflation would probably have made it nearly impossible to be married in an elaborate wedding gown.
