Local Wood Fuel Situation Studied

Government Men, And Local Officials Find Situation Serious

Despite tile fine efforts of council, Alexandria’s wood fuel situation is very serious, R. H. Candy of the De- puty FUel Controllers’ office, Ottawa, told members of council and local wood dealer at a meeting in the clerk’s office, Wednesday afternoon. All angles of the situation were discussed and Mr Candy could offer little immediate prospect of assistance.

Mayor McIntosh and members of the fuel committee of council reported to Mr Candy that they have so far been able to secure some 3,000 cords of wood while dealers could show only another 1,000 cords on hand. This is about half the estimated needs of the population and Mr Candy could only emphasize the necessity for all citizens making' themselves responsible for filling their cwn individual needs.

There is to be definitely no increase in the ceiling price of fuel wood, he asserted, when told of cases where farmers are reported holding small stocks for a higher price. If such cases are reported the farmer will be pre- ecuted for hoarding, said Mr Candy, who pointed out the Department has power to seize such supplies of wood, fie also told of instances where out- side dealers are paying the ceiling price at the farmer’s gate. The ceiling he said, is on a delivered price and such cases are now; being checked.

Told of the difficulty in finding ex- perienced men to do bush work, the Department official pointed out that if any individual could guarantee 1000 cords of 4-ft. wood, the Department would aid in obtaining men and equipment to get it out and would ensure a fair profit on the deal. He was accompanied by Mr T. J. Davison, in charge of wood fuel at the Brockville Office, Department of Munitions and Supply.

LOOKS AT

Ottawa Written tpedally

teg the weekly newtpapert of Canada k

By Jim Greenblat As this is written Ottawa is being

clipped, manicured and waved and de. corated for President Roosevelt’s visit. There is intense interest on that part of usually blase officials and certainly the multitude of civil servants, tem- porary war-jobbers and the thousands 6f others who make this capital. Churchill, Eden, Madame Chiang Kai- Sheck, Giraud and now the very popular ' F.D.R. himself. It will be an historic occasion, one of the ever in. creasing evidences of U.S.—Canadian friendship and inter-nation cor-ordiha- tion. The vast concourse of beautifully kept lanw in front of the Peace Tower where Mr. Roosevelt wil speak from, will it is estimated accommodate 20,- C00 people. The S.R.O. sign will surely be out early. His talk, going over the air waves is at high. noon which is always hearalded here by the boom of a ‘ cannon.

We hear a lot about manpower, but What about Canadian womenpower? Cnadian womanpower? Well, there1

ere 4,240)000 women over 14 years of j oge in Canada. Here are some interest- ' ing figures about them. As of January

36, 1943, of this number there were 1,152,000 in industry and 255,000 directly or indirectly in war industry. Farm women numbered 830,000; wo. men students 309,000. There were more than 31,367 in the armed services (and that figure must be considerably increased by this time). 300,000 are considered unemployable.

Canada’s vegetable oil indsutry is cne of those revolutionized, in a sense, by the necessities of this global war. This industry is, of course, agricultural Take flaxseed, of which 53% of that used was imported in 1939. In 1942, however, all of the 3,388,195 bushels used were of domestic origin. Our acreage objective for 1943 is 2,492,000 or an astounding increase over the previous year of 67%. All these changing phases having to do with ouru agricultural and indsutrial economy will be part of the post.war problem.

Is it all right to lend your ration book to your farmer friend who uses a great deal of tea, while you use very Little?. The Prices Board says no, and Thelma Craijg of t(he information branch answered me this way: “Ra- tioning is for the equal sharing of certain commodities which are in short lupply. It does not mean that Granny, just because she likes the extra pot of tea, should be able to have double the ration of the wman next door, nor does it provide for the swapping of tea and sugar by two neighbours who live across the road from each other.” Fact of the matter is the whole ration, ing system is set up in the basis that the majority will conserve their use of rationed articles to actual and immediate needs.

( close to the main drag which adver. . tises horse meat — choice stuff from j “young wild western horses.” He , bought a roast and thought it quite |. tasty. Cost less than half the price of beef.

The Quebec conference enhances Canada’s status in the eyes of the world. In this connection I find that in 1937 our capital city could boast only two legations, four consulates and one High Commissioner’s office. Today there are representative of 22 nations always.in close touch with the Cana- oian government. The houseing shortage in Ottawa creates problems, too, for numerous commercial and military attaches and their staffs. A very international flavor is exhuded when one comes across the flags of United Na- tions in front of various homes and buildings scattered around the city.

Recently a gathering of members of sheep breeders associations at the Central Experimental Farm here saw a demonstration of the drug pheno- thiazine, in the latest method devised by science for controlling sheep parasites. Dr. W. E. Swales, Science Ser- vice of the Department of Agriculture, showed how the medicine, a two.inch tablet, is plopped into the throat of the animal, using a tongue depresser. An expert can do 60 lambs an hour One reason for the importance of the drug at this time is that parasites destroy the animal’s intestines which are so valuable for the making of surgical sutures needed on the battlefield.

Dried sheaves shipped collect to Ottawa will be worth $30 a ton. .For further Infor, mation write Dr. Harold A. Senn, Di- vision of Botany, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

you think of former drought areas of western Canada. Therefore it might jolt far easterners and far westerners to know that an offiical release just cut shows that in Eastern Canada there are between 12,000 and 13,000 farms, covering about million and half acres, abandoned, lying idle for some time. Surveys show, paralleling the western causes much the same, they were abandoned because land was ori- ginjally submarginal for agricultural purposes; some because of unsound farm practices, etc.

FourYears Of War We look back with amazement on 4

years of war—Canada’s remarkable production record, her decisive part in holding the life-lime of the Atlantic and in gaining mastery of the air, her troops in the speerhead of the assault on the Fortress Europe. Finally, as a climax, the most momentous confer, ence of the war has just been completed on Canadian soil. Almost over, night Canada has been thrust into the status of a world power.

What does this fifth year hold for ts?

These last years have tested both our defences and our offensive power. In every instance we have come out on top. Now in the coming year we have other severer tests to meet, more dangerous ones perhaps unless we see what is at stake.

First of all or. the home front there is still a battle to be won. Have we the honesty and discipline which will hold off inflation? Can we, under increas- ing strams and pressures,, maintain and step.up our industrial teamwork? These defences must be held by every employer, ■ worker and consumer at home.

With vision and faith rekmdled in us today, we can produce that blueprint—a pat. tern every other nation will covet for

Set Ration Values For Jams, Jellies, Canned Fruits, Syrup

The Prices Board Sunday night announced ration allowances for jams, jellies, syrups, canned fruit and similar products. Sales of these goods are under suspension until Sept. 2, when “D" coupons from the new No. 3 ration books become valid for sweetspreads and other goods of this type.

Two “D” coupons will become' good each month. For each coupon the pur- chaser will have the choice of:

1. Six fluid ounces of jam, jelly, marmalade, extracted honey, apple butter, maple butter or honey but- te' or;

2. Ten fluid ounces of molasses or maple syrup or;

3. Ten fluid ounces of canned fruit or;

4. Twelve fluid ounces of corn syrup, can syrup, or any blended table syrup or;

5. One-half pound of maple sugar or comb honey in squares.

As an alternative to any of

these commodities the consumer may obtain for his “D” coupon one-haif pound of sugar.

! ‘“The ration plan is similar to that used for meats since the consumer ‘spends’ a coupon for any one of the commodities rationed . . . depending on his choice and upon what is available”, the board's announcement said.

The “D” coupons will become good on the same dates as sugar coupons. The board said the plan will make for a more equitable distribution of commercially packed preserves and homemade preserves, as well as pro- viding the alternative of the extra sugar for “D” coupons. There will be

, no restriction on the use. 'of sugar obtained in this way .

I “It is possible to make more sugkr available because of the substantial- reduction in the commercial pack of Jams, jellies and canned fruits occa- sioned by the short fruit crop and the

' consequent reduction in sugar used for these purposes,” the board said.

STORAGE OF HARVEST Hello Homemakers! Many vegetables

and fruits may be preserved in their natural state for winter use without canning or dehydrating. For this, properly constructed storage space is ne. cessary. Two favourite methods are:

, the use of a cold room in the base- ment of the house, and storage pits, made outdoors.

The storage cellar must be cool, well ventilated and dark. An adequate room may be built in the corner of the cellar with 2x4 studding and boarded both sies. Waterproof building paper should be tacked horizontally from the top down across the studding. This will stop insulating material from sifting down. Then the space between the studding is filled with sawdust. A window is neecssary to give ventila, lion but should be shaded to keep out the light. Make a chute to cover one-half the window, extending it to within eight, inches from the floor. This allows the cold air to come in at the bottom and warm air to escape from the other half of the window. S?ats or shelves should be used to keep food off the floor and permit air cir- culation. If the floor is concrete part of it may be covered with damp sand ov peat moss to furnish needed humi. dity. Sprinkle some water on each day Ose a thermometer and adjust the win dow each day to maintain a temperature of 32 to 40 degrees.

Outdoor pits keep vegetables very well, but it sometimes difficult to get them ou tin cold weather. Several pits are preferable to one large one, so that all the vegetables may be removed when it is opened. Storage places should be left moist to prevent wilting.

Covering a barrel with straw and earth provides an outdoor storage space. Leaves will serve instead of straw. The stave barrel is placed on its side, filled with trimmed ( but not washed) vegetables such fis carrots, salsify and potatoes. The lid is put cn and then successive layers of earth and leaves are added to prevent freez. ing. You may need to cover to a depth oi 'four feet.

One victory gardener recommends the following method for storing cab- bages. Putt and set the roots in a shallow trench. Cover the roots with earth. Erect a frame about 2 feet high around them. Bank the sides and top with earth. Cover well with leaves.

RECIPES Dixie Relish (2 quarts)

1 cup chopped red pepper, 1 cup chop ped green peppers, 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped cabbage, 2 tablespoons mustard seed, 1 tablespoon celery seed 1-4 cup sugar, 2 cups vinegar, 2 1-2

■ tablespoons salt. Soak peppers in medium brine for 24

hdurs. Freshen in cold water 1 to 2 hours. Drain and chop. Mix chopped vegetables and let stand in crock over night. Pack into jars. Cover with vinegar and seasonings. Partially seal. Pro cess in a hot water bath for 10 min utes. Remove and seal.

Cabbage and Green Apple Salad 1.2 head cabbage, 1 carrot, 1 green

apple, 4 radishes, lettuce, 1-4 teaspoon salt, salad dressing or mayonnaise.

Shred cabbage and carrot, chop apple and radishes. Season and mix with salad dressing or mayonnaise. Serve in lettuce cups. This makes a good stuf. fing for raw tomato salad.

Spinach en Oasserole

2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon

flour, 1-8 teaspoon pepper, 1-4 teaspoon paprika, i.2 teaspoon salt, 3-4 cup milk, 2 cups cooked spinach, 3 hardcooked eggs, bread crumbs, grated cheese. .

Make white sauce by melting butter adding flour, salt, pepper, and paprika and mixing well. Add milk slowly and bring to boiling point, stirring con- stantly to prevent lumping. Add 1-4 cup grated cheese. Put a layer of spin, ach in bottom of buttered baking dish Add a layer of sliced eggs. Four some sauce over layers of spinach and eggs. Add more spinach, egg, sauce and top with crumbs mixed with a little grated cheese. This can be prepared several hours before meal time, covered and placed in electric (refrigerator until ready to serve.

Braised Celery Hearts 3 or 4 celery hearts, 1 tablespoon

chopped onion, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, pepper and beef broth.

Trim off outer stalks and leaves of celery and split the hearts in halves. Cook onion in butter for a few minutes arrange ceelry on top, season with salt find pepper and then moisten with beef broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes or until tender. Place in electric oven at 350 F. and cook until celery has absorbed most of the liquid, basting occasionally

• • • TAKE A TIP

Use parsley while its fresh. It not only enhances the appearance but lends flavour, as well. Eaten frequent- ly it steps up the vitaminn value of your meals. Use sprigs of it in soup pot, chop it and ard it to meat and fish loaves, sprinkle it over salads, add a handful of it to a dish of cream- ed potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, celery or turnips. A<id green specks of it to fish. It is especially appealing server in potato, cabbage or celery al^d; Add are cooked. Finally tiny plates, sand, seme just before the peas or Iwax beans wich plates and meat platters.

THE QUESTION BOX Mrs J. F. asks for Supper Plate sug-

gestions. Answer : (1) Hard-cooked egg slices in to-

mato jelly, macaroni and parsley salad, celery sticks and lettuce.

(2) Sardines with lemon, potato salad, cucumbers dipped in sour cream tomato slices.

(3) Green onions, cooked green beans, tomatoes stuffed with cottage cheese.

(4) Jellied pork hocks, cauliflower flowerets, raw carrot strips and shred ed endive with horseradish dressing.

(5) Rice and veal jellied, currant jelly, mixed vegetable salad and nas- turtium leaves.

(6) Cold beef, jellied horseradish, cabbage and chard salad, and radishes.

A nutri-thrift meal is rounded out with rolls, bread or tea biscuits fruit in season and milk, buttermilk or tea. Strenuous workers would enjoy a bowl of hot soup to begin their supper.

Mrs N. Me. asks: How can straw, berry ice cream stain be removed from a white pique?

Answer: Soak in warm clear water, and launder. If colour remains, bleach with hydrogen peroxide or javelle water.

Hcttsds, institutions, restaurants, soda fountains and other similar users will be rationed by quota as in the case of other rationed foods.

Industrial users of jams, preserves, such as bakers and confectioners will also be rationed by quotas, but the industrial use of honey maple syrup and corn syrup will be severely res- tricted or eliminated entirely in order to make more of these commodities available to householders.

Infants who need more than the 24 fluid ounces of corn syrup per month provided under the ration will be issued extra “D” coupons against surrender of sugar coupons to loca’ branches of the ration administration or to local ration boards.

When purchasing goods in containers it will not always be possible for the consumer to get the extra value shown on the chart for his coupon. However, he may purchase two or more containers if the total contents do not add up to more than the total value of the coupons presented.

JJelly powders, soya bean spreads and peanut butter are not included in the rationing plan.

Eye ïs tike a Camera, Uses Films for Pictures

Every minute the human eye uses about 500 chemical photographic ‘‘films” that it makes itself. Re- cent studies have disclosed that the eye is more like a camera than formerly was believed, and that a

i continuous supply of new “films” of i high sensitivity is needed for clear 1 seeing. *

A remarkable photo-sensitive substance, known- as the visual purple, in the eye is bleached by light in the seeing process, somewhat in a manner similar to the action taking place on the film In a camera when exposed to light. However, the human eye has the remarkable power to change back the photosensitive substance, after exposure, into its original form so that it can be exr posed again. This substance in the eye is exposed and restored at the remarkable speed of 8 to 10 times a second, or about 500 times a minute.

Experiments also show that the substance, if removed from contact with living eye tissue, will remain permanently in the exposed condition and will not return to its original form.

Teacher Shortage Closes Classes In Many Provinces

The bell won’t ring in numbers of Canadian country schools this Fall. For the most part, of course, youngsters will troop back t their desks as usual, but in some sections, reaching into at least six provinces, the vacation-time padlock will stay on the door. The reason: a shortage of teachers.

A survey by The Canadian Press hows Alberta apparently the hardest hit province, with Nova Scotia probably next in line. Preliminary reports from Alberta indicated a shortage of 800 teachers—the normal number is 6.200—but the shortage will be halved by using the services of 400 normal school students who will be available for teaching duties Nov. 1.

Schools in most provinces are scheduled to open Sept. 7, though many school boards have announced the opening will be postponed two weeks or more to permit students to help the farmers get in the crop. In Alberta, for instance, schools generally will not open until Oct. 11, and some not until Nov. 1.

Ontario is the only province to say definitely there is no lack of teachers. Dr G. F. Rogers, Deputy Minister of Education, says the requisite number will be obtained by employing married women and retaining those due to be superannuated.

Liberty Ship Lifeboats Built to Withstand Sea

Rated as the best built and safest Ship «t Jt? typ* In th* Wbrld, the EC-2 Liberty ship Is equipped with lifeboats that are on a par with the parent ship. Acknowledged as the most seaworthy and self-contained boats of their type ever made, they are made of metal or wood, designed to carry 25 passengers.

Once lowered the Liberty lifeboat automatically releases on contact with the water. You can’t swamp one of these boats because of buoy- ancy tanks filled with kapok. If high seas should capsize the boat it can readily be righted by a few men.

Each boat is equipped with a can- vas spray hood. This hood covers the entire forward section and there’s also a full length of spray cloth on the weather side.

Each boat carries scarlet sails, making identification easy. One in every four is equipped with a 25-H.P. motor and a good supply of fuel. There is also a full complement of oars.

Immigration Week Nov. 14-20

Tcrcnto, Ont., Aug. 26th. National Immunization Week, during which Canadian parents will be urged to avail themselves of measures to protect their children against dangerous communcable diseases, will be held November 14 to 20, The Health League of Canada announced here today. The nation-wide healtjh education effort is being sponsored by the Health Lea. gv.e, in co-operation with the provincial departments of public health.

Attention will be directed specially to the importance of immunizing children for diphtheria, smallpox and whooping cough, which continue to take a needless and preventable toil of child life and health in Canada. In at least two of the provinces preventive measures for scarlet fever lloss will be emphasized.

National Immunization Week will be a development from National Toxoid Week, held last year, when immuni. zation for diphtheria alone was urged There were almost 3,000 cases of dip- theria in Canada last year, and while mortality from the disease has been reduced with the use of anti-toxin, many children recover with compli.

Last Words Maj. Eric Knight, author of “This

Above All,” who was killed in a plane crash on his way to North Africa, was planning a new novel which he had discussed with his editor.

In a letter written recently Ma- jor Knight said: “When I get where I’m going, I’ll write you. In a way I’m sorry, because I’ll be cut off from typewriters for a good part of the time, and won’t be able to do any more work on the next book. It’s about a guy coming home from the war—that’s all. I’d like to have it done by the time the war is over, but I don’t know. The big thing is, we’ll win this war by killing Ger- mans, not by writing books.

“I can’t talk anyone into anything. I admire conscientious objectors in this war as long as they are conscientious about it, and I admire soldiers. The only ones I never admire are the ones who fight with their mouths and say: ‘Kill one for me.’ Each man with desire for bloodshed should do his own shedding.”

Timber Industry Colombia has 62 large sawmills,

planing mills and plants for impreg- nating lumber. Twelve of these are capitalized for sums ranging from 25,000 to 1,000,000 pesos. Nineteen of these plants, are located in the department of Cundianamarca. In addition there are 390 woodworking plants turning out plywood, veneer, staves, boxes, wicker furniture, wooden heels, toothpicks, moldings, carved images, desks, kitchen and dining room furniture, beds, door and window frames and cabinet work. In spite of its large timber resources Colombia has imported much lumber in the past. Between 1938 and 1941, Colombia imported 15,696 metric tons of wood and wood products valued at 1,314,201 pesos. This does not include wood pulp for paper, wood for matches or sawdust and shavings which also were imported.

Kelly Field Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas,

is believed to have been the “birth- place” of more military aviators than any training field in the army. It gave their wings to virtually all of the pre-war army aviators now . in active service. The activities at Kelly Field and nearby Randolph Field have made San Antonio widely known as the “Mother of Aviation.”

The first army airplane was purchased in 1909 and during the early summer of 1910, San Antonio first became associated with army aero- nautics. From June 1 to 7, 1910, General Foulois, then a lieutenant, made a total of five flights at Kelly Field, marking its inauguration as j a military flying establishment.

Lieutenant Kelly arrived there in ! the spring of 1911 and was killed on May 10, 1911, the army’s first pilot casualty and its second aviation death. Following the accident, fly-1 ing activities were moved tempora- rily back to College 'Park, Md. In 1

1912, however, two hangars were located at San Antonio and early in ’ 1913, seven airplanes were sent there for border service.

The First Aero squadron was as- sembled at Kelly Field for duty with the Mexican Punitive expedition in 1915 and returned in the fall of 1916.

Poison for Grasshoppers Grasshoppers, which destroy an

estimated $25,000,000 worth of crops annually, face a chemical foe in 1943 notwithstanding that the government requires for other purposes the sodium arsenite used heretofore to poison the pests. It is sodium fluosilicate, which meets all government specifications for use in poison baits to save large acreages from depredation. Sodium fluosilicate is a dry powder much more easily and safely handled than concentrat- ed sodium arsenite solutions com- monly employed. It is said to be much more distasteful to farm ani- mals than sodium arsenite which is quite ^attractive. However, it is poisonous, and must be handled ac- cordingly. *

Celestite Goes to War; Lights Way for the Army

Celestite, old standby of the fireworks industry, has gone ta war.

The crimson trail made by a tracer bullet as it speeds toward its target is blazed by this mineral. The bright glow of military flares, the parachute distress signal, the flare shot to the surface from a sub- merged submarine and the water- borne “ball of fire,” lighting up enemy ship movements, all get their dazzling red flame from celestite. Blackout signs and signals used in London “glow” because celestite has been added to paint.

In peacetime this mineral had many jobs. It furnished the red flame for some types of fireworks, brightened paints and served as a filler in sealing wax and rubber. The rayon industry used celestite to remove impurities in caustic soda. Some sedatives and medicines dipped deeply into the supply of celestite. Railroad companies ' used it for flares. Steamships used it for distress rockets and the small “bombs” that truck drivers in trouble use at night along highways burn red with celestite.

Suggest Six-Point Plan To Boost Milk Output

The shortage of milk and milk products resulting from huge new demands by the army, lease-lend, and civilians offers a direct chal- lenge to dairymen.

To bring about the much-needed increase in milk production, a six- point emergency program has been suggested:

Increase the present cow population, especially on existing dairy farms, by bringing in milking cows and heifers from other areas where such a situation is practical.

Breed the cows now on hand to good dairy bulls and properly growing out the heifer calves; also give more emphasis to proper feeding and management.

Keep production records on all dairy cows.

Improve the old, pastures and seed new ones until at least 1% acres of good pasture are available for each mature dairy animal.

Grow more and better legume hay on every farm.

Maintain the present milk routes and develop new ones as feasible.

Etiquette Invented to Keep Up With Jones’

Most table manners are customs which have a basis in common sense, but some impractical rules were adopted through the centuries by dictators of etiquette who had hard work to devise means to dis- tinguish themselves as being rich, extra nice, or both.

Before World War I, it was considered a trifle boorish to eat all the food placed on the plate by the host or hostess. The idea was that the uneaten bit of food proved the abstainer was a little above everyday standards and could control natural instincts. The wasted food also proved that the guest realized the host was financially able to be wasteful.

Soldiers in army camps in 1917 and 1918 found their eating was su- pervised by men who had more regard for the problems of transport- ing and serving food than for the rules of etiquette. Food left in mess kits proved to these supervisors the lack of judgment of the eater, and a course of kitchen police duty or the. reserving of the leftover food at the next meal were methods used to adjust soldiers’ eyes to the size of their stomachs.

Fish May Replace Meat As Daily Table Fare

That familiar phrase, “Fish on Friday,” soon may become just a relic of pre-war days. For fish on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or the other days of the week is one of the ways in which the mealplanner who knows her nutrition can help in the government’s request for conservation of meat. Fish, like meat, con- tains almost all the nutritive ele- ments.

Protein, for building strong mus- cles and firm body tissues, is found in abundance in fish. And nutri- tionists say it is easily assimilated, too. Many minerals are found in fish. One of the most important ones is iodine, valuable in helping to prevent diseases of the thyroid gland, especially goiter. Iodine is not found in many foods. Phosphorus for tissues and muscle building, cal- cium for bones and tee*h are found in abundance in shell fish.

The army is feeding fish to the soldiers. It is a good health insurance food. It should be eaten two or more tifnes each week.

Fire Prevention Landscaping around rural homes

is a valuable aid in checking fire hazards and reducing the appalling loss of life and property exacted yearly from farm homes. Broad- leaf evergreen shrubs planted to form screens and borders often are effective barriers against grass fires spreading from fields or pastures to farm buildings. Broadleaf ever- greens when planted about the foun- dation, also may serve to stop a fire on the lawn from spreading to thq house. Clearing away rubbish, removing dead plants, trellises covered with dead vines, cutting away dead portions of trees or shrubs, and stacking wood a reasonable distance from the house are fire prevention measures which also help to improve the landscaping.

Djibouti Busy Port Far removed from the present Af-

rican hotbed in Tunisia, French Somaliland is a tiny parcel the size of New Jersey on Africa’s northeast coast. The colony is largely sun- baked sand, producing meager yields of cotton, coffee, hides and salt for 30,000 Somalis and Danakils who try to eke out a living by it. French Somaliland’s lively trade normally centers in the other 20,000 of its population who reside in the port city of Djibouti. The Franco- Ethiopian railroad, climbing 8,100 feet up in its 486-mile stretch inland to Addis Ababa, brings the wealth of Ethiopia’s hills to the world through Djibouti, despite Italian efforts to develop highway and rail routes from Ethiopia to Massaua on Eritrea’s coast.

Fight Peach Scale The growing invasion of the white

peach scale, which has made substantial gains in North Carolina orchards since 1940, will be met with a “secret weapon” this year. Not serious for many years, the peach scale made noticeable gains in the Sandhills in 1940, moved into new territory and new orchards in 1941, and made additional advances last year. The “secret weapon” farmers can use against this unwelcome in- vader is two applications of a 4 per cent oil emulsion. The two sprays should be applied before the buds begin to swell on the trees. They should be spaced about two weeks apart. It is suggested that growers go through their orchards and spray the infested trees first. Then two or three weeks later, the entire or- chard should be sprayed with the oil emulsion.

Malta’s Great Guns The giant guns of modern battle-

ships have a bore of fifteen inches. Imagine a gun with a bore of 72 inches—that is six feet! This was the actual size of the now almost forgotten rock cannon of Malta. In the days when the Knights Templar had Malta they cut embrasures in the cliffs, leaving in each a huge block of rock. This block was hol- lowed out into the shape of a gun. It was loaded with a whole barrel of powder, plugged with a wad of wood, while the projectiles were iron cannon balls or stones, weighing in all a couple of tons. There were about 50 of these infernal machines, and though their range was not great, the falling projectiles covered an area of some 300 square yards.

Protect Ranges Five rules given for better service

and longer use from gas or electric ranges are: 1. See that gas pres- sure is properly adjusted and electric voltage right, not too high or too low for your stove; that range burn- er grates or units are level. 2.

Solve Dairy Problems Herd culling and a better job of

feeding and milking are progressive steps in solving the dairyman’s twin problem of labor and feed. The only solution of one horn of the problem is to cull the cows to the number which can be handled with the labor available, it is believed. To relieve the other half of the difficulty culling the herd and feeding the roughage available, is suggested. In some cases, the feed situation, especially roughage, is hampering dairymen more than labor. In many cases a herd can be reduced in size

Rural Fire Fighters Improved community organiza-

tions for rural protection from fire are making the program to reduce rural fire loss in New York state one, pf the most effective in the nation. Since January, 1936, the number of rural fire districts in the state has increased from 106 to 312. A number of others have probably been formed but have not yet been classified for insurance rate purposes. The state fire-district law enables rural communities to get better protection by permitting them to finance fire fighting equipment with public funds.

Volunteer firemen's associations have helped to make the many district organizations possible* J

Important Naval Base Wilhelmshaven, first German city

to be pounded by an all-American bomber squadron, was the scene of a mutiny that helped break the back of German resistance in November, 1918. Mutiny by the crews of two battleships at Wilhelmshaven was quickly followed at Kiel by the spread of revolution to the whole fleet and to the land.

It has been an important naval station for nearly a century. The site on Jade bay, due south of Hel- goland, German island sentinel in the North sea, 365 miles by airline from London, was purchased and the station planned in 1853. Two years later construction began.

GOOD NEWS FOR TEA DRINKERS

So many people in Canada drink tea that there will be a genuine feeling of satisfaction that more of it will be available for home rations after September 2nd. The Ration Board has decided this can be done because the safety of the sea route from Ceylon has so vastly improved. The millions of ‘SALADA’ lovers have just cause for rejoicing.

TYPHOON. THE R.A.P.’S NEW DEMON FIGHTER

Farmers Allowed To Retain Drums

If farmers really require steel drums ' for essential purposes they . can re- ! tain them not withstanding an earlier ! order of the Prcies Board to the con- trary. Under a revision now in ef- fect, farmers are no longer required to return steel drums, as soon as they are emptied of their original1

contents, provided the drums are need ed by farmers for essential purposes.

Hawker Typhoon, one of the fastèbt fighter planes ever produc- ed, has been in service with the R.AF. for several months during which it has shown itself master of any fighter the Luftwaffe can produce, both in attack and defence. Typhoon is a single-seat, low-wing monoplane of all-metal construc-

' tion powered with a Napier Sabre i sleeve-valve engine of 24 cylinders.

It has a wing span of 41 ft. 7 ins.

and an over-all length of 31 ft. 11 ins. Typhoon Mark 1A is armed with 12 O.303 Browning machine guns (6 in each wing). Mark IB nas 4 20 mm. Hispano cannon (2 in ea:h wing). Britain’s fighter pilots appreciate the Typhoon’s combination of size and strength with speed and 'manoeuvrability. It is a line instrument in fine hands.

NATIONAL SELECTIVE

SERVICE

Extension of Compulsory Employment Transfers.

*7© Zmfilcuf&iA. OHA CmfUayeeA,: THE 6th Compulsory Employment Transfer Order, issued

under authority of National Selective Service Civilian Regulations, requires compliance not later than September 8th, 1943. After that date no employer may continue to employ any man covered by this Order, unless under special permit.

The first five Compulsory Transfer Orders listed occupations, and required compliance by all male employees in those occupations if (a) in an age and marital class designated under the Military Call-up, or if (b) 16, 17 or 18 years of age. The Sixth Order repeats all occupations given in the five earlier Orders, and requires all other men from 16 to 40 years of age (both ages inclusive) to become available for transfer to higher priority jobs, by registering at the nearest Employment and Selective Service Office.

Details of the Sixth Order were advertised in daily newspapers at the end of August. Copjes of the Order may be secured from any Employment and Selective Service Office.

If in doubt as to the coverage of this Order, or the pro- cedure under it, ask your nearest Employment and Selective Service Office.

All men, married or single, employed in designated occupations, aged 16 to 40, are now covered by the Orders. To avoid penalties, those who have not yet registered must do so by September 8th, 1943.

Chateau Frontenac Houses Momentous Conference

IONG famous as a meeting place J for world travellers in Quebec

City—where sea lanes and rail lines converge—the stately Chateau Frontenac, one of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's finest hotels was taken over by the Govern- ment for one of the most important international gatherings in hj^tory;

when Prime Minister Winston Churchill, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King conferred there on the conduct of the war. Dominant feature in the landscape of the Ancient Capital, as illustrated here towering above historic Lower ’Town, the Chateau accommodated the staffs whjch prepared the material for the

decisions taken and provided thn main assembly and committee rooms. Helping to house the leading figures at the conference, who are shown in the insets, was the Citadel which is on the extreme left of the picture on the same level as the Chateau Frontenac. From left to right: Mr. Churchill, Mr. Mackenzie King and Mr. Roosevelt. 1

CHAPTER HI It was one cold January day as she

was walking down the corridor toward the Operations room that she saw him coming toward her. By a miracle she was quite alone in that, narrow slit of a passage .She stood aside, to let him pass. Her breath caught in her throat. Now he was almost level with her. His thoughts were evidently far away, for a terrible moment she wondered if he were going to walk right past her. Then his expression changed. His eyes light- ed up. His fave seemed to come to life “Good God!”

She smiled. “You said it would happen.”

‘It’s been so long.” All her resolves now were shaken.

Another moment and they were gone for ever. He looked at her. “I just

can’t believe it’s you! I tried so hard to find you,” She knew it must be

'true. I haunted that corner where I ■ran into you.”

She smiled. You couldn’t anyway have found me. I joined the Waafs the next day.”

| Thank heaven you did!” They heard , voices approaching them. When can we meet? I’ve got to be in town this pfternoon, I’m driving up directly after lunch. Can you come with me?”

“Only at the risk of being arrested. But I can meet you there this evening I’m off duty at six.”

“Can you be at Kettener’s at seven? ”

“Make it seven-thirty. I’ve prom- ised to meet the girl I lived with for

dinner. I “She won’t mind if you tell her you’re dining with your fiance.”

“Am I?” “What do you think, my sweet?”

I She laughed very softly. “I think you’re possibly right.”

“Tonight then. I’ve got so much I want to say to you.”

j Two officers passed them. One greeted him with a smile. “Hello, Tips! Coming to have a quick one?”

“Yes, I’ll be right along.” They passed on. “Tips?” she asked. ‘Short for Timothy Ian Poel-San-

ders. I’ve been Tips since my school- days.”

, “I see.” “And you?” “Jane Lambolt.”

“YOB ain’t Stop slotting a Steam Engine”

said Wrigley

Interviewed, and asked to what he attributed his phenomenal success, the late Mr. Wrigley, of chewing gum fame, replied, “To the consistent ad- V3rtising of a good product.”

“But,” asked the reporter, “having captured practically the entire market, why continue to spend vast sums annually on advertising?”

Wrigley’s reply was illuminating.

“Once having raised steam in an

engine,” he stated, “it requires continuous stoking to keep it up. Ad- vertising stokes up business and keeps it running on "a full head of steam.”

This Applies To Your Business Too

And especially so in wartime.

Keep Your hm Before The Publie ADVERTISE IN

THE GLENGARRY NEWS

“The Lambolt is merely for the time being, Jane darling.”

She was in a daze all the afternoon. She was reprimanded sharply three times. Sparks, the girl with whom she shared a room, asked as they hurried back to their quarters once they were off duty what was the matter with her.

“I’ve never known you so wool- gathering, Lambolt. What was it on? Or should I say who was it on?”

But Jane wasn’t telling Sparks what had happened. She wasn’t telling anyone, except of course Stella. But, some- how, when she reached the flat she found herself incapable of 'breaking the news to her.

She told her how sorry she was she couddn’t have dinner with her. And Stella laughed and said it didn’t matter at all. She said. “What’s he like? where are you meeting him?”

Jane laughed softly. “Thank you for not minding. I feel rather mean about letting you down. Hello! you’ve cut this out have you?”

She pickde up the clipping from the newspaper as she spoke, the clipping with the photograph and news story of Plight Lieutenant T. PoeLSanders.

“This man’s at our airdrome,” she said.

“Is he?” Stella’s eyes were hard. Jane knew

instantly that something was wrong. She said quickly, urgently. “What’s the matter, darling?”

1 ‘ Nothing. ” “But, Stella, you seem so sort of—

different suddenly. You don’t know him do you?’”

Stella gave a hard, brittle little laught, She snatched the clipping from Jane’s hand, crumpled it into a tight little ball and flung it into the waste- paper basket. She said bitterly: “Yes, I know him. For a brief six months I was marred to him. And now darling, if you don’t mind, let’s talk about some thing pleasant. Tell me the name of the man you’re meeting this evening Is he tall, short, dark or fair, and are you going to be such a nitwit as to fall in love with him?”

Now it was Stella who realized that something was wrong. It was Stella, instead of Jane, who was saying quickly, urgently, “What’s the matter, dar. ling?” and in a sudden flash of intui- tion, her eyes widening, “Jane, you’re rot dining with Tips this evening? He’s not the man?”

Jane looked at her. “Yes. But I well, I shan’t see him again of course. ”

| Stella flickered her hair back from her eyes with a little quick gesture. Her

| head was up. “Why.-ever not? See j him all you want. Have fun with him. . Tips used to be grand at giving a girl fun. Only well, from one who once knew him only too well, don’t be such a fool as to fall in love with him.”

Jane said, not looking at her, “Sup- pose you met him again .Stella?”

Stella drew a swift breath. She lean, ed forward, her hands gripping a chair “I never want to.” “That’s what you say. But are you sure, deep down in your heart, that you really mean it? Remember what you told me the other night, the night before I joined up. You said then you had an idea you were still in love with him.”

Stella was saying urgently, “You’re not to tell him you know me, Jane. I'm not a dog in thfe manger. He’s iree and you’re free. Only I don’t ever want to see or hear anything of him again. He’s rotten through and thruogh. And the leopard can’t change bis spots. Perhaps it’s mean of me to cay this to you now that you know him, but I can’t help it.”

Jane’s eyes were hard. “You won’t I—I don’t quite know what I’ll do about him. For two pins I’d ring up Kettner’s and leave word that I can’t dine with him.”

Stella laughed shortly. “That’s ridiculous. Go along and have a rattling good dinner and enjoy yourself, too. Tips will give you a good evening. Only don’t take him seriously, and if he tells you he’s falling in love with you, just bear in mind that’s his line with women. And now oughtn’t you to hur- ry darling. You’re going to be aw- fully late if you don’t.’ ’

Jane slid into her coat. Her eyes met Stella’s. I shan’t tell him T know you.

j If I ever feel I must, I’ll tell you first. But after tonight I don’t think I ’ll see any more of him.”

Stella shrugged her shoulders. “That’s up to you. Good-by, darling. You needn't tell me how you get on or what you decide to do I just don.t want to hear about him. But let me see you again soon and for a little longer than this evening if you can possibly manage it.”

Jane walked to Kettner’s. It wasn’t worth a taxi.

As she entered the brilliantly light- ed foyer and saw him coming toward lire she knew that she wasn’t going to cut him out of her life as she’d thought at first. Oh, no! She’d do quite the reverse. She’d see him just as often as he wanted her to or rather as often as she chose he should see her. If he was in love with her now it wouldn’t be her fault if he didn’t fall twenty times as much in love with her

Then she’d give him a little of what he’d given Stella.

She stood smiling down at her and she told herself her heart was quite steady. It didn’t mean a thing that he was so attractive that all the other women around were covertly glancing at him or that there had been no thrill as his hand had touched her arm—or had there? But no—of course there hadn’t. Her feelings toward him had changed completely. She glanced at the clock and back again at him.

“I'm late, I know. I’m sorry.” His face was alight with eagerness at

sight of her. It was as if flames burn- ed in his eyes. He said urgently, “I was so desperately afraid you weren’t coming, that perhaps I’d only dreamed that I met you this morning. Oh, Jane. Jane! if you knew what you’ve done to me!”

She could have said just that to him if she had come straights to Kettner’s and not stopped to see Stella on her way As it was, she was now immune.

“I just couldn’t get here any sooner,” she said evenly.

Tips had booked the same table. There were champagne cocktails again

, When the waiter moved away, leaving ^ them alone, he said wonderingly, ‘ ‘ I | just can’t believe I’ve found you again. [ Darling, I love you so much. ’ ’ I “Tips, please, I want to tell you tomthing. I...”

I He smiled. “I want to hear only , one thing from you.”

“I can’t say it.” He frowned. “What do you mean?

.This morning ” “This morning was a long while

ago,” she said lightly. 1 He looked at her in bewilderment, j ‘1 Are you having a little joke with ' me, pretending you don’t care? If so, 'it’s not very funny.” | “No, I’m not joking.” Then, re- ! membering that ihe wouldn't cunt ' him out of her life but instead she was going indeed to fool him, she

| added: “It’s just that I’ve been doing !a little straight thinking.” 1 His brows drew together. “I see. ;And the result?” | She looked at him. “We know so little of each other. It would be crazy to rush into marriage. It is such a serious step.”

! ‘Don’t I know it!” His face cloud- ed. “I’ve been married once already.

! Ir. was four years ago and a failure ^rom the word go.”

Jane’s heart was hard. “I see. Is that meant to encourage me? How do jou know you wouldn’t be making a second time?”

“Because you're different,” he said without any hesitation and with a note of deep conviction in his voice. “Because I don’t believe you’ll be stupidly jealous or suspicious if I look at another woman. I don’t be. lieve you’d call me a liar if I gave you my solemn word of honor I was speak- ing the truth.”

The world seemed to stand still for a moment while Jane allowed herself to think that this might indeed be true. In fact it was true. For this was the way she felt about him, too. Then she told herself an-

, girly that it wasn’t. She said in a light odd, brittle voice: “Aren’t you taking rather a lot for granted?”

| “in suggesting you’re in love with me? No. Why shouldn’t I say it if I believe it to be true? I knew it the moment you recognized me this morning. Of course I can’t quite under stand you this evening.”,

I “It’s the real me this evening,” she said and told herself that she meant it. “I’m not in the least in love with you. I think you’re attractive, but doz. ens of men are attractive. But we can meet. We ’re bound to, since we’re both stationed at the same airdrome.”

His face changed .His eyes met hens angrily. “Sure thing. We’ll pass each other when you’re with a bunch of your girl friends and .oh, blast!” He broke off abruptly and Jane looked up to see a woman coming toward them. She -was tall and slender, with ash-blonde hair and a pink and white comptexfon. She wore a mink and orchids and a smile that was all for Tips, and there was an expression in her eyes as they swept Jane swiftly that was definitely hostile. She was level with them now and stopping beside their table.

‘Tips .darling! How nice to see you!” she said warmly.

Tips rose to his feet. If she thought it nice to see him, he clearly didn’t feel the same way about her. This was obvious from his expression .He said in some embarrassment. “Hello, Iris. L didn’t know you were in London

She laughed, a little trilling laugh. T thought it would be a surprise for

you. I’m on'y here for tonight. And I’ve got an even greater one up my sleeve. Guess where I’m going to- morrow!”

Tips didn’t try. “I give np,” he said curtly.

Plan Gardens Carefully , To Assure Seed Supply

During wartime, America needs all the garden seeds it has to enable new gardeners as well as the ex- perienced ones to grow all the vegetables they want. If’the seed is not wasted, there will be enough for everyone. This means that each gardener should plan his garden, and should order only the quantity of seed he needs, and save money while he does it.

Expert gardeners usually list the crops they plan to grow, for they know how much space they have and how much of each crop to plant. But beginners, particularly, will find it wise to make a complete plan, to show just how much seed they will need for the crops they will grow later. This gives them an accurate guide for ordering seed from the seed catalogue or In purchasing seed from a local dealer.

The plan made before the seed is purchased should be an actual draw- ing to scale of the garden area. If the rows of different crops are marked on the plan, they will furnish an excellent guide at planting time, so the work will be done quickly and well.

Thousands of New Cars Bought by Big Railroads

Class I railroads put 63,009 new freight cars and 712 new locomotives in service in 1942. This was the smallest number of new cars to be installed since 1939, but the greatest number of locomotives since 1930.

In 1941 the railroads put 80,502 new freight cars and 633 new locomotives in service.

Of the new freight cars installed in the past calendar year there were 34,713 box, 23,144 coal, 2,938 flat, 631 refrigerator, 100 stock, and 1,483 miscellaneous cars.

The new locomotives installed in 1942 included 308 steam and 404 electric and Diesel compared with 161 steam and 472 electric and Diesel in 1941.

Class I railroads on January 1, 1943, had 27,061 new freight cars on order compared with 74,897 cars on the same date a year ago. New freight cars on order at the beginning of this year included 7,301 box, 17,946 coal, 1,444 flat, 200 stock, and 170 miscellaneous cars.

Fats Win Battle How much is a pound of fat? It’s

the firing of four 37 mm anti-air- craft shells when Nazi planes fly over North Africa. It’s one and three-tenths pounds of cordite which sends a shell screaming toward an invasion objective. It’s a half pound of dynamite to blow up a bridge to hamper the enemy. It’s three cel- lophane bags to protect the gas masks our soldiers carry. It’s 10 rounds from a 50-caliber airplane cannon pointed at a Jap. And it’s only one tablespoonful a day salvaged from any kitchen in America. For 31 tablespoons of salvaged waste kitchen fat make one pound. That pound, little though it may seem, provides enough glycerine to put any busy housewife right onto the field of battle, fighting beside her husband, her sons, her brothers. Multi- plied by millions of American homes it could make the difference between a United Nations victory or defeat.

New Trench Knives A trench knife, redesigned to con-

serve critical materials and super- seding the previous standard model

; which has been issued by the thousands to combat troops, is now under procurement by the ordnance department. The new knife is a sturdy, sharpbladed weapon, in appearance resembling an oversize hunting knife. The knife has a cor-

! rugated raw-hide handle with a 6% ! inch blade. One cutting edge runs the full length of the blade. The

I other cutting edge extends for 2% inches. From tb^t polftt^o the hilt, the steel widens, proving extra strength. ,

A new sheath made of leather also has been designed especially for the knife. There are metal plates on both sides of the sheath to protect

! the wearer from possible injury in a fall, for example, wherein the knife blade might otherwise pierce the sheath.

Army Needs Arts Liberal arts studies make a def-

inite contribution to an efficient army and should not be ignored as nonessential, educators say. The liberal arts studies are fighting for life because people have the idea that they are unnecessary during war. Many do not realize their close con-,

! nection with army service. Tech- nical skills need a mathematical background, fc Liberal arts also include foreign languages, English composition and literature; social sciences such as economics and history; and appreciation of music and art. Each of these studies, it is said, contributes in an important way to the need of our soldiers. They need French in Africa; English composition to enter the armed forces, and for reports 6f missions; books and music for recreation; and social science for just, administration of post- war problems.

Keep Twins Together Because twins usually have the

same aims and desires as well as similar skills and aptitudes, they are assigned to the same organizations whenever practicable by the army. Furthermore, it has been found that their efficiency is greatly increased, .when serving together, . . 1
