MEETING Councillor Preston Reported On Visit To Brantford In Re­ gards To Matter of Gas Rates. Members of the Town Council met in the council chamber on Tuesday evening for their first September meeting. Mayor Dr. J. G. Murray presided and all members were in attendance with the exception of Councillor H. T. Bower. Minutes of the previous meeting were confirmed. There were no com­ munications on hand and a number of accounts were read. Reports of the Finance, Board of Works, Police and fndigent, Fire, Water and Light, Relief and Market Committees were read. These recommended the pay­ ment of accounts and authorized a number of cheques that were issued since the August meeting. All re-; ports were approved as read. On motion of Councillors Morrison and Clark, the Mayor was instructed to sign a warrant authorizing the treasurer to proceed with a sale of lands for arrears of taxes according to the provisions as set forth in the Assessment Act. A number of accounts wefe paid on motion of members of the com­ mittees which they concerned. Councillor Preston reported briefly on the visit of the committee ap­ pointed to go to Brantford in con­ nection with the matter of trying to secure lower gas rates for the town. Very little information was secured and the clerk of Brantford suggested that the matter be placed before the convention of the Ontario Municipal Association, but the convention was held the day*following . the visit to Brantford and there was not suffic­ ient time to prepare resolutions to present to the convention for con­ sideration. Mr. Preston stated that the com­ mittee had been informed that it would be an expensive proposition to try and fight the Dominion Natural Gas Company, and in order to have a united fight for leaver rates the help of.other municipalities should be se­ cured. Mayor Murray and other mem­ bers of the council discussed the visit to Brantford with Mr. Preston and he was of the opinion that more information would be forthcoming at an early date and that possibly the council could take further action in regards to getting other municipali­ ties together in impressing upon the Provincial Government the necessity of doing something in regards to helping out the municipalities con­ cerned. Town Solicitor Marshall also gave some information regarding tho Brantford visit and stated that the delegation had been informed by the City Clerk of Brantford that to go into the matter fully would entail great expense, and information was hard to get. Before the meeting adjourned Councillor Thomas J. Morrison in­ formed the members that a former Mayor of Ingersoll, Mr. J. Verne Buchanan, was leKving town to make his home elsewhere and that he be­ lieved his departure would bo a great loss to the corporation as he had al­ ways been willing, to do anything in his power to help the town. He was always at our beck and call and Mr. Morrison felt that the citizens of the municipality would join with the council* in wishing him Godspeed in his new field of endeavor. Councillor Morrison suggested that a letter bo forwarded to Mr. Buchanan from tho council to which all members of the council concurred. .

VEALEProprietor and EditorPHONES - Tubur.e Office, IS - ta t a s e , 556— Mem bar of —(Th* CaiKtJian Weekly Newspaper AssociationTHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5:h, 1940Turn of the Tide? It :s rr>■? early ta say that the Battle of Britain is won. No v’.-.t' knows what new clouds of bombers the Nazi- ihjv rei. over the beleaguered Isle. No naval expert can gsve assurance that German ingenuity will find no means of invasion. No military man can rule out the possibility of new and dangerous tactics. No statesman can be sure how the lines of diplomatic and economic power which bind the British Empire together will hold. But the magnificent record of the last two months is tremendously reassuring. Particularly impressive is the success of the last week in the air. When the history of these times is written, it may show these struggles to have* been decisive. The Naris may attempt even larger massed air tactics; they are believed to have planes and pilots enough to send over forces two or three times the site of those which roared over England last week. Yet their hope of achieving mastery of the air over Britain may have parsed for good. And its passing could mark the turn of the totalitarian tide. Whether or not the British figures on damage done at home and losses inflicted on the Germans be accepted, one fact is attested by many observers: British defenses are stronger than when the battle be­ gan. Indeed the very conduct of the Nazis proves they are far from success. They have tried one form of attacks after another and have not followed up any. British shipping still uses the Channel, British ports are still open, airports and plane factories have had no crippling blow, the Royal Air Force has not only taken heavy toll of attacking planes, but has continued to carry the fight to German bases. The decisive fact perhaps is that nowhere nave the Nazis been able to silence the defense and destroy at will as they did in Norway and the Netherlands and as they would have to do to make either blockade or invasion feasible without superior sea power. British air power has been sufficient to make her sea power effective. Behind all the military results lies a moral victory. Winston Churchill’s moving eloquence is only the audible evidence of the British people’s courage and discipline. They have the secret of victory within themselves. They have conquered the divisions of democracy and organized a united and effective de­ fense in which the spirit of free men is evident. We do not even have to accept Mr. Churchill’s estimate that Britain is now producing planes faster than Ger- many or the official statement that she had more fighters in the air at the end than at the beginning of last week to feel some of the confidence which can­ not be disguised. This confidence of the British and the manifest success of their defense so far must have important effects in encouraging those who can aid the struggle against totalitarian aggression. It appears to have largely removed the fears of many Americans that giving aid to Britain would be futile and risky. It should help mightily t* win public support for the (jelling of overage destroyers to Britain. —(The Christian Science Monitor.) Ample Electric Power There is ample electric power available in all On­ tario districts to enable the Province’s war effort to be speeded up and maintained at a greatly increased level, it is revealed In the Thirty-Second Annual Re­ port of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of On­ tario, which has been released by Dr. T. ,H. Hogg, chairman and chief engineer of Commission. During 1939 steps were taken to assure the continuation of that situation, no matter what would happen. At the end of 1939. states Dr. Hogg in commenting on the report, the total investment of the Commission, together with^the investment of co-operating munici­ palities and distributing systems, was approximately 4446,000,000, representing a system developing the water power* of the province and distributing elec­ tric power to almost every section of it. In October of last year the Commission was serv­ ing eight hundred and fifty-six municipalities in On­ tario, Dr. Hogg points out. The total revenue collected by the municipal utilities amounted to $35,- 289,790, and the total cost of operations including sinking fund and depreciation was $34,422,881, show­ ing a surplus in operations for these municipalities of $867,000 for the year. It is stated in the report that during the past twen­ ty-five years the cost to the consumer has been stead­ ily reduced. For residential service the average cost per kilowatt-hour has been reduced from 5.08c in 1914 to 1.26c in 1939. For commercial lighting ser­ vice a similar reduction has been made from 4c per kilowatt-hour in 1914 to 1.58c in 1939. Progress in the use of electricity- in rural areas is described by Dr. Hogg in his observations on the re­ port. During 1939 the rapid growth in extension of rural primary lines continued and more than 13,000 additional consumers in rural districts were served during the year. At present more than 100,000 cus­ tomers are receiving service on farms and in hamlets throughout Ontario. Dr. Hogg further points out that in spite of the widespread tenseness resulting from the war the last fiscal year was a year of great and encouraging pro­ gress. Evidence of increasing activity was reflected in increasing power loads. For some months before the war started. Hydro experienced substantial in­ creased in load,- as did other electrical supply organ­izations across Canadaf Since the war‘began these increases in load not only continued but were aug­ mented as plants manufacturing war materials greatly increased their production. The Commission, it is reported, has given careful consideration to war de­ mands in order to anticipate, if possible, any except­ ional demands for power, and to ensure that plants engaged in war production might be guaranteed an adequate and reliable service, as required.

He points out that according to the figures issued by the Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa, approximately 44'c of the caloric intake of Canadian people, based on aa average daily intake of 3000 cal- oxies, is practically devoid of vita­ mins. There is considerable evidence that Canadians suffer most from lack of the vitamins Bl D and sometimes vit­ amin C. A restriction in diet will ac­ centuate this condition. During the progress of an infection the need for most vitamins is markedly increased. A similar need is seen during preg­ nancy and lactation when the demand is doubled. Under ordinary con’diticns, if the individual takes a diet consisting of a pint to a pint and a half of milk a day for the children, one half a pint for adults, some meat, an egg a day, two liberal helpings of veget­ ables besides potato, some raw fruit, some whole grain cereals,, either in the form of brown bread or breakfast cereal, and some vitamin D, (cod- Uver oil or its equivalent), in the nfbnths from September to June, he will be using all the known vitamins in adequate amounts. Under unusual conditions as an illness, pregnancy lactation and during any dietary re­ strictions, it may be necessary to give vitamins in their concentrated form. , Dr. Tisdall discusses vitamins in considerable detail. About 15 vita­ mins have so far been demonstrated from animal experimental work. Nine have been shown necessary for human nutrition. These are: Vita- min A, found in milk, cream, butter, eggs, liver, colored vegetables such as lettuce, spinach and carrots. There is a large concentration in most fish oils. Night blindness is due to a lack of thb-vitamiri. Vitamin Bl also called thiamin, prevents and cures a disease known as beri-beri or polyneuritis. Its best sources are yeast, wheat germ and pork. It is found in most vegetables and fruits though not in large amounts. The use of whole grains and cereals, liver, pork, peas and beans will afford an adequate supply for the ordinary individual. Vitamin B2, also known as ribof­ lavin, it is only in the last year thatthis vitamin was discovered to be a ' preventive of premature aging, loss of hair and development of cataract. Vitamin B6, in the pure synthetic form, was found only last year to Oxford C. A. S. OpenOffice in Court HouseThe office ttaff of ths OxfordChildren's Aid Society is now locatedin recently opened quarter* at thecourthouse, Woodstock. The membersformerly carried on their work in of­fices at Pine rest, the former Child­ren's Shelter.The new office is on the secondfloor of the courthouse. It was once used as sheriff’s office and has beta vacant for ten years. The rooms were cleaned, woukwork and floors were varnished in preparation for Uie new occupants. The Chidren's Aid Society in Ox­ ford was founded in 1895 and a Mr. Clarke was the first inspector. In 1912 the CA.S. bought the old Nel­ lis property situated in the block between Raglan street and Park R.w facing Mill street in the city of Woodstock. When the schoo’ term for 1939-40 closed in July the^b-iard decided that normal healthy children should not be kept in an institution. The building was closed and the ch 1- dren were all boarded in Oxford County homes for a period of one year as an experiment. Although the shelter itself was closed the offices of the society were still open. Many of the public have an idea that the so- ciey is not operating and Superinten­ dent R. G. Clowes, points out that this is entirely wrong as there are nearly 400 children at present under the direct supervision of the society in Oxford County. Mr. Clowes points out that the workers and the board of the society appreciated greatly the use of the offices in the courthouse which were kindly offered by the County Coun­ cil. The officers of the society will also be better equipped to do their work than before as they can work in conjunction with the Victorian Order of Nurses, the county public health nurses and the different branches of the Red Cross as these social welfare workers and offices, are all situated in the same building, thus making them more centralized and able to serve the public more conveniently. rtquircmtnls uilb m.

It is found in wheat gcam, egg-yolk, lard, soy bean, flaxseed, pcanu .< and in some fruits and vegetables. The chemical formulae of each of the B group, including Nicotine acid, which cures black tongue in dogs, and pell­ agra, in human beings, are known. Vitamin C is the one which pre­ vents and cures scurvy. It should be given to infants from shortly after birth in the form of one to two ounces of orange juice daily. Vitamin D prevents and cures rickets. Ordinary foods do not con­ tain this vitamin. It comes from the .summer sun .and from cod or other fish oils. Vitamin E is not very well known. It is found in wheat germ, butter,, miik and in many vegetables and fiuits and is said to be useful in women with a tendency to abort. Vitamin K is found m large amounts in alfalfa and other green foods. It appears, if given to the:mother for a week or two before con- I finement, to prevent haemorrhages in the newborn. Now things are being discovered aoout vitamins almost every week. There is no doubt that their system­ atic use will have a profound effect on nutrition.

The identity of the stock must be estab­ lished to the satisfaction of an in­ spector. The weight of 35 eye sets must not be below one pound whan packed. (An ordinary vegetable bail­ er, the kitchen utensil used by house­ wives for shaping vegetables into balls for decorative cookery, produces eye sets of uniform size and attract­ ive appearance.) According to the regulations all potato eyes that are to be stored for any length of time should 'be first kept for one .week at 75 degrees F., then stored around 40 degrees F. un­ til shipped. Certified seed potato eyes must be free from any damage caused by bacteria, fungi, or insect pests readily recognizable at time of ship­ ment, and the shipper is responsible 'or the removal of all defective or diseased sets. The regulations with regard to con­ tainers is that the eyes must be ship­ ped in a waxed carboard carton or in a cardboard carton wrapped with heavy waxed kraft paper as a fur­ ther precaution against drying out of the eyes. To each container must be affixed a label giving the certifica­ tion number, the variety, date of packing, name and address of ship­ per, and directions .for planting must be included in each package.

Leathorne and Mrs. Hub­ ert Fitzmorris, Victoria street, were joint hostesses on Wednesday evening lost, at a social evening, when about 30 friends gathered in honor of Mrs. Frank House, prior to her departure for her new home in St. Catharines. During the evening an address was read by Miss Loretta Dolan on behalf of the friends and neighbors, and the guest of honor was presented with a handsome silver tea service by Miss Virgie McNoah. Mrs. House was also the recipient of a beautiful cut glass fruit bdwl, presented by Mrs Frank Boles, president of the Catholic Women’s League of Inger­ soll, on behalf of that organization. The gift was accompanied by an ap­ propriate address read by Sirs. Lil­ lian McNoah. Mrs. House thanked her friends for their beautiful gifts and good wishes. The everting was spent.in a social way and refreshments were served by the hostesses, assisted by Miss L. Dolan, Mrs. John Dobies and Mrs. Hubert Fitzmorris, while Mrs. L. McNoah and Mrs. C. Leathorne poured tea. z Sales Regulations For Potato Eyes The practise of cutting eyes from potatoes for seed and forwarding them to distant points originated in the days of the settleni when the dif­ ficulties of transport were many and the cost high and farming had to be carried on far from social and busi­ ness centres. Potato eyes saved carrier space and when taken from good seed proved a profitable experi­ ment, a result much appreciated in these days .when good seed was both costly and difficult to obtain. In later yean*, following the expansion of transportation facilities, the intro­ duction of cheap postal rates, and the success of the eyes as seed, the dealing in potato eyes became such a general practice that regulations governing their sale have now been established. AH future sales are affected by the FIRST PATIENT IN -CANADIAN RED CROSS HOSPITAL Smiling and comfortable, the Canadian soldier shown above seem* to appreciate the “rise'' in bed which his colleague is giving him.

Thgites Street South.Residence. 285 Wellington Street THE NAVY LEAGUEOF CANADAOntario Division —CRAMPTONThe iwwt dramatic and the raoithuman incidents that mark a greatstar’* tour are not always at thescheduled togw. So far, in the aeriesof programs being given in Canadaby Gracie Fields, the most interest­ing story come*, not from one of thelarge cities in her itinerary, but from a northern town where her public appearance was of a moat impromptu nature. It was at Kenora that the English singer departed from her routine m response to a request from Captain Frank Edwards, Indian Agent in that territory. As a "Lancashire lad" and a representative of the Navy League of Canada, he had wired asking her to appear on the back of her car as she passed through the town. When her consent had been re­ ceived, the word quickly spread and 3,000 people were at the station to cheer her, Mayor Williams present­ ing her with photographs of the Lake of the Woods. Tribute was paid to Miss Fields for her work on behalf of the Navy League of Britain and the Navy League of Canada, and the and the gathering assumed the nature of a patriotic rally. “We probably didn’t expect to see the spirit of Britain clothed in blue slacks, wearing a blue and white sailor shirt,” wrote the local re­ porter,, but everybody knew, where- ever they saw Gracie, and long before she started to sing, that there would always be an England. There just wasn’t any doubting it when Gracie sang. And you knew she really meant ■t when she menacingly waved the Indian war club presented to her by Captain Edwards,‘fend said, ’Lumrne, if I only had Hitler or Mussy here now, couldn’t I do somethin’ with this tommy-hawk It would even be better than hittin’ ’em with a pair of lancashire clogs.!” And this was the description of the star’s singing at “the bonniest station” she had seen in years. ’Then Gracie sang.

Enact Regulations For Wool Grading Regulations governing the grading of Canadian unwashed • fleece wool were passed recently by Order in Council under authority of the Live Stock and Live Stock Products Act. These regulations are now in effect throughout Canada in respect towoof for export. Januaiy 1, 1941, has been set as the date on which these regulations will apply to the purchase and sale of wool in Canada. As from that date all handlers of wool will be required to comply with the regulations in the purchase of Ueece wool grown in Canada. Any person who desires to operate a wool warehouse should make ap­ plication for registration of his premises as an authorized wool ware­ house. As applications for wool warehouses are received, the premises will be inspected and if found suit­ able may be approved. AftA Janu­ aiy 1, 1941, the grading o£ wool will take place only in authorized ware- houses. The wool grading regulations do :»ot include any compulsory clauses in so far as the producer is concerned. Previous to the passing of the re­ cently enacted regulations, the wool grading service of the Dominion De- nurtment of Agriculture had been in operation for about 25 years, and in recent years one-quartor to one- third of the fleece wool sold commer­ cially in the Dominion, was graded «nd sold according to grade. As a result of this service, which has been u<ed by about 25,000 sheep raisers, there has been a substantial improve­ ment in the wool marketed. This ex­ perience Kas demonstrated the desir­ ability of wool grading and its value to the Canadian sheep industry. Since the outbreak of the war, the wool icquirements of Canada have teen greatly ienreased, so that it is now regarded as important to have each annual wool clip produced un­ der the best possible conditions. At s learing time, and until the wool goes into production, it is equally import­ ant that all the wool be handled in the most expeditious and best possible manner during the stages of market­ ing. The wool grading regulations will lesult'in the sale of all Canadian wool according to grade, thus en­ couraging a steady improvement in, and safeguarding quality. Periodic Survey* OnFertilizer SupplyFertilizers of standard quality arenecessary for the continuous outputof Canadian agricultural produce sothe regulation of fertilizer supply by,the Dominion Department of Agri­culture at the present time is essen­tial. Apart altogether from theeveryday administration of the Fer­tilizers Act which protects both buyer and seller and ensures a stand­ ard quality, the Plant Product* Div­ ision control the exports of fertilizer, conserves the supply, gives advice and assistance to the British War Supply Board, and encourages the development of new fertilizer re­ sources. With regard to the control of fer­ tilizer exports, up to date informa­ tion is obtained through periodic sur­ veys regarding the extent of supply in Canada of each kind of fertilizer. This information, together with sta- t sties of production and imports and normal domestic requirements, provides a basis for preventing over­ export of any fertilizer under Order in Council administered by the Plant Products Division. The conservation of fertilizer sup­ ply and the increase of its effective­ ness in crop production are accom­ plished in co-operation with the pro­ vinces undea an Order in Council which provides that no fertilizer can be sold within a province unless it is recommended by the provincial M;nister of Agriculture and his Fer­ tilizer Advisory Board. The enforce­ ment of this is carried out under the Fertilizers Act. Assistantc and advice is being given the British War Supply Board in obtaining fertilizers f:um Canada, particularly sulphate of ammonia, for British possessions now cut off from supply in the Mother Country, Cana­ dian manufacturers have been en­ couraged to increase production for this additional purpose and have re­ sponded to the call.

Waitresses have left teasbops and domestic servants the keeping clean' ox private homes to fill shells or work ruiomatic machines. Chocolate dip­ pers, typists, filing clerks, lift girls, nuise maids—women working in ull *orts of jobs, have joined this new army. So have young housewives who because their husbands are at the front, have lighter domestic duties to perform. The jobs the women do are infin­ itely varied, though for the most part a girl sticks to her own single job. Raw recruits are trained in from ten days to a fortnight to do skil­ fully the numerous engineering jobs fcr which they are suited. Just at first they are allowed to be slow so long as they produce a per­ fectly finished job. After about a week they are expected to speed up w'thout the quality of the work suf­ fering. 1/ they do not like or cannot do ?ne type of work, they are tried out ou another. If that too, is unsuitable, they ore tried on a third and a fourth until they find something at Kiiich tney are really good. Only m very >oie cases and after exhaustive tests me there complete failures. At boring, drilling, stamping, press­ ing and in many jobs connected with the production of small arms, women are quite as good as men and. will be used to replace them as the men are ceiled up. Bombs have their time fuses made by the girls at the workbenches. So have the explosives which go into the. bombs, shells and all classes of ammunition and “small arms''—re­ volvers, rifles, machine gqns, Mid Bren guns with which the British troops are armed. British airmen are being vastly' helped by women workers. They have always been used for handling the fabric side of aircraft production. Now they are doing certain engin­ eering jobs in the manufacture of aero engines, the assembly of mach­ ines and the building of bodies. Mak­ ing balloons for barrages, making and folding parachutes, weaving thp arti­ ficial silk fabric for both, are jobs in which women do the bulk of the work. They make gun cotton, assist in the manufacture of chemicals and make rope of all kinds which is used so extensively by the Navy. They also manufacture bakelite and the innumerable small parts of equipment made from it. But in the manufacture of the elcctricafl equipment for the fighting forces the women are doing one of their biggest job. Making such at ticks requires patience and a del­ icate touch and women are excellent at it. All the impediments necessary lor field telephones, switches for electrical gear, light bulbs, all calibres of wire, depend for their maintenance on the girls doing their “fighting” in the factories. ■ Transport is another field where girls can do .a targe proportion of the men’s work; they have already begun to do so. Giri conductors now punch the tickets on buses and trams tn Manchester, Birmingham, Wolver­ hampton, Leicester, Leeds and other parts of Great Britain. Generally they are young women between 20 and 30. So far no wo­ men are doing this job in London but they will come. Nor are there any women drivers of buses. But London Transport are using them to replace men in railway booking offices. On the main line railways they will be cleaners, ticket collectors, clerks in the booking offices. But it is doubtful whether they will ever be able to take over the main part of the railway traffic. Such jobs as shunting, working signal boxes, being drivers and firemen are considered by the authorities too heavy to be done by women. In all the jobs mentioned they will have a probationary period dur­ ing which they will receive slightly lower rates than the men they re­ place. But after they have success­ fully passed through this period, and are pronounced efficient they will receive the same pay as men pro­ vided they are doing the same work. In estimating the war effort of Britain’s women there must be added what they are doing in the auxiliary sections of the Navy, Army and Air Force, the work of the ever growing Land Army, and to that other vast army of voluntary workers known as die Women’s Volunteer Service which has done phenomenal work in the evacuation of children, in connection with refugees ' from Belgium and Holland, and in receiving British troops evacuated from Dunkirk. THE PEACH BASKETThis is the season for peach basketsadn for peaches with all the widevariety of tasty dishes made possibleby this luscious Canadian fruit.Peaches and cream have long beena favorite dessert, and the ConsumerSection, Marketing Service, Domin­ion Department of Agriculture, of­ fers these suggestions for serving this popular dish. Select well ripened peaches. Dip them into boiling water to loosen the skin for easy peeling. To prevent discolorations, drop them into a thin syrup or into a weak brine solution— 1 teaspoon salt to 1 quart cold water. Serve well chilled. Brown sugar and peaches are an interestihg new flav­ our combination. „ Fruit salads, featuring peaches and served with a cream dressing, offer many tempting variations. Peach shortcake, whether made with a plain cake base, or with a hot biscuit mix­ ture, is another favorite for late summer menus. Serve this with a gen­ erous amount of whipped cream. Meringue nests filled with peaches have a very festive appearance, and there are many tasty dishes, calling for cooked peaches. Recipes for sev­ eral of these follow: Peach Meringues 4 egg whites 1 cup tine white sugar *4 teaspoon vanilla Beat whites until stiff. Add sugar very gradually. Add flavoring. Shape with two spoons or a pastry tube into nests on a cooky sheet covered with brown paper. Bake at 250* F. for 50 to 60 minutes. Fill with sliced peaches and top with whipped cream or ice cream. Peach Tarts Put 2 tablespoons cream .filling in the bottom of a tart shell. Place half a peach that has been poached in a thin syrup for 10 minutes on top of the filling. Garnish with whipped cream.

"I’m afraid. You’ve promisedtoo many limes to give up tennis-;and you’re still playing. You’ll prob­ably be playing forever.”"But it isn’t forever, Grace; can’tyou see that? I think I’m on myway to win a place on the Davis Cu- team. That’s something I’vedrt-ined of ever since I first tooka racquet in my hand. And nowthat my ambition may be realized I can’t give it hn. I em't. I’d bemiserable, and you would too, "know­ing you were keeping me fromsomething I wanted to do as much as I want to go to Europe and helpwin back the Cup.”He had wanted to take her inhis arms but she had taken a step backward."No, Lett. Not this time. Youwant to play tennis, kig-time tennis.And I uon t want you to. I don’twant to be a tennis bum’s wife, traveling all over the world livingout of a suitcase. So this is good­bye forever—unless you changeyour mind. If you get a job andfeel you still want me, need me, send me a wire and I’ll come."And then she had turned quicklyand mn from' him he hadthought that she was crying as she ran. ...

He heard somethingcrack sharply, yet peculiarly muf­fled. And then his'toot went dead.But only for a second it was dead.Then searing, wracking pain—pain like thousands of nails being drivensimultaneously through the ankle-gripped him. A dark and mercifulblanket shut out everything. . Getting the job hadn’t been sodifficult, after all He bad read inthe newspaper about a Europeanprincess who had found a position as'de luxe saleslady in an exclusivewomen’s shop on Fifty-seventhStreet. Why then, Len had decided,wouldn’t a sporting goods organiza­ tion such as Talbot’s with storesthroughout the country, possiblywant to have someone like himserve their tennis department? At nine-thirty the morning afterhis release from the hospital he pre­sented himself at the executiveoffices of Talbot’s Fifth Avdnue store; After a short wait he wasushered into Henry Justin's office.He* sat in a deep armchair facingthe tall, heavy-set, grey-haired salesmanager. “I read all about it in the papers,"Justin said. “Most lamentable,"Len nodded. “One of life's toughbreaks, I guess. Naturally," he wenton, “I must get to work; forget about tennis now that I'll never beable to play again. I'm looking fora job, Mr. Justin, and I thoughtperhaps Talbot's might find me of■ome'rafae." Justin was silent for a long time.Len watch'J fats face eagerly, buthis expression was inscrutable Onlythe soft staccato dramming of thewell-kept fingernails had relieved nitely unfriendly. The grip of hishand lacked warmth and his tonewas surly as Len was introduced.Len wondered if perhaps fear forhis job caused Marten's unfriendli­ness. “Of course," Weir, the manager,explained, “you understand that anycustomers who come in and ask specifically for you are your cus­tomers. There's a notice in themorning papers."Len procured a newspaper andflipped through the first four pagesbefore he' saw set in a small oblongspace, a dignified announcement: TALBOT’S Takes pleasure in Announcing the Acquisition to itsRacquets Department ofMr. Leonard RollinsAmerican Tennis Star beginning today, June 27th At first he felt a certain sense ofresentment toward Talbot's for hav­ing publicized his position.

And once on, speed is the essence of success—for delay may be costly to the fanner. Heavy crops in down and tangled condi­ tion give rise to problems in harvesting methods and equipment operations and throw excessive strains on much worn parts of old, reliable machines. It is then that the farmer appreciates the real value of farm machine service as rendered by Massey-Harris. Competent men with experience in field , problems and service that takes years w to acquire, and a system that provides fer the ready availability of parts for any of its muchines, no matter how old, so as to avoid costly delays, are what have earned for Massey-Harris the enviable reputation which it has long enjoyed as— "THE SERVICE ARM OF THE CANADIAN FARM."

PHONE 509 AMERICAN PRESSPARTY GOODWILLTOUR OF ONTARIOAfter a "-day goodwill tour in On­tario, 30 American editors represen­ting weekly newspapers and pressassociations in five states of the Un­ ion, are back “south of the border” now; travel-tired, overwhelmed by Canadian hospitality, but convinced that Canada’s big war effort has in no way interfered with her capacity to give a royal welcome and enter­ tainment to visitors from the United States. Quickly arranged, the trip honoring the American weeklies was sponsored by the Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association and the Ontario Hotel Association in co-operation with the Highways Department of Ontario, whose Deputy Minister, R. M. Smith, travelled on the tour. In every place that the party stopped-*-the military camps, tourist centres and cities— : everyone joined in lavishing enter­ tainment on the guests. Many of Ontario’s most delightful tourist places were visited. In addi­ tion, the guest editors had the rare privilege of an inside look at Can­ ada’s war effort. Visits were made to the Royal Can­ adian Air Force Training Station at Trenton, to the military camp at Petawawa where thousands of robust and suntanned soldiers are encamped, and finally to the much bigger mili­ tary centre of Camp Borden. Here an air annada put on a show of dive bombing, battle flights and fight for­ mations, followed by a banquet in the Officers Mess of the R.C.A.F. Harmon E. Rice of Huntsville, President of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association, with two directors, C. V. Charters of Brampton and George W. James of Bowman- ville, acted as hosts along with Jonn W. Connell, Managing Director of the Ontario Hotel Association and H. A. MacLennan, Manager of the Royal Connaught Hotel in Hamilton. Starting at Niagara Falls, on Aug­ ust 14th, over-night stops were made at Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa, North Bay (two days), Muskoka Lakes, Toronto again, and then back to the border on August 21st. Greatest ace of the last war and a: Chief of Canada's Air Force in this one. Air Marshall W. A. Bishop, V.C., the victor of 72 aerial combats in the last war, was waiting at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa when the party arrived. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe was the host at Callander. Premier Mit­chell Hepburn of Ontario, came ’to the border at Niagara to welcome the editors when they crossed to Canad­ ian soil. Others, among scores of prominent personages, were Graham F. Towers, youthful governor of the Bank of Canada; Rear Admiral Nel­ les, who commands the Royal Can­ adian Navy; Hon. Angus Macdonald, Minister of National Defence for Naval Services and J. S. Duncan, Deputy Minister of Defence for Air; and Captain H. M. Balfour, British. Under Secretary for Air, who had just arrived by 16-hour clipper plane from London. When the editors arrived at Cal­ lander on Monday morning to see the Dionne Quintuplets, one of Can­ ada’s greatest tourist attractions, it turned out that the editors not the quints were the sensation. Every day, hundreds of visitors see the five Dionnes, but the sisters never see the visitors. This time, it was all changed —the first time since the continuous trek of tourists to their birthplace, the rules were waived and the party walked right in and mingled with the famous five. While 1500 visitors, many from the States, waited outside for the regular twice-daily vie,w of the little girls at play, the quints played the organ for the visitors, sang songs for them in French and had the.time of their lives. It was a red-letter day for the Dionnes who will talk about it for years! Going south from North Bay, the party visited Huntsville and then the Royal Muskoka'" Hotel for overnight. Orillia was the next stop enrute, the visitor’s seeing the Champlain and Couchiching Beach Park. The party then spent Tuesday night at the King Edward Hotel in Toronto. Wednesday morning, 18 of the party who had been able to stay over for an extra day in Canada, saw a special pre-opening show of the Canadian National Exhibition. President John Miller and General Manager Elwood A. Hughes of the Exhibition, halted their preparations for the official opening—only 48 hours away—and staged a preview of the exposition.

WORLD'S DEEPEST GOLD MINERobot to Control Crushed OraThe oldest and deepest gold mine in the world, the John Del Rey mine in Brazil, is about to be equipped with the most complete ore process­ ing plant yet set up, now on its way from England across the Atlantic. The engineer in charge of the mine will be able, when the plant has been installed, to ait in his office and con­ trol all the chemical processes needed to extract the gold from the crushed one. The plant measures out the quan­ tity of chemicals required to deal with each batch of mud. When nec­ essary it allows the proportions to be varied and it also controls the speci­ fic gravity of the mixture. The complete installation is auto­ matic and its control of the process is correct to .2 of a degree. The object of the plant is to econ­ omise to the full the quantity of chemicals used and so to reduce the costs of production to the lowest possible point. LANCASHIRE’S COLOSSAL ORDER Java Buys 22,000,000 Yards of Cambric An order for 22,000,000 yards of cambrics h$s come to Lancashire from Java as the result of the polit­ ical changes in Holland and the Dutch East Indies. The total value of the order is £600,000 and it represents one of the largest single transactions ever put through by Lancashire firms. It will be carried out by 40 firms of manufacturers and a large num­ ber of spinners of medium American yarns. The size of the order exceeds the whole requirements of the Uni- ed Kingdom for 1938, yet it repre­ sents only .075 of Lancashire’s “all out” capacity for cotton goods pro­ duction which could indeed dispose of it in two days or three. The order will be handled by 14,- 500 workers without interfering in the slightest with Government orders for the fighting forces. All interests concerned in the ex­ ecution of the order—manufacturers, spinners, bleachers and merchants­ will be registered as the First Export Syndicate under the Cotton Board set up by the Board of Trade. Negotiations are already in pro­ gress for further Java trade with Lancashire, the chief lines being bleached and. printed cloths and fancies. The 22,000,000 yards of cambric are being manufactured for ship­ ment to Java between September and December.

Now, thanks to the discovery of the new printing process, all the photographer needs is one grade of paper which is capable of yielding prints of any degree of contrast This all-purpose print does not depend for its effectiveness on any manipulative skill.. All that is re­ quired is to place an appropriate col­ our filter in front of the light used for exposing. Now a photographer, instead of deciding what particular -ype of paper is best for his nega­ tive, will be able to take the one brand and produce the precise effect he is seeking merely by the use of a colour filter. When a year ago one of the firm's representatives left for South Amer­ ica, he took stocks of this new pro­ duct with him, actually before the new technique was announced at home. DORCHESTER Mrs. W.

The continued wet weather is caus­ing' much anxiety to the farmers as the majority have oats in the fields waiting to get threshed and it isfeared many of them are now ruined and the remainder will be also if the'rains continue. It has been over a week since any threshing has beendone. There are very few farmers:with all their grain in theirgranaries. Mr. and Mrs. Herb. Morris of Har- rietsville, were Sunday guests withrelatives here. While some make holiday thisLabour Day, work goes on in the places where there is a grim resolve that next Labour Day in Canada shall not be the jamboree of Hitler’s Arbeitafront. The lights burn far into the night at the ministries of National Defence and Munitions. They gleam through the roofs of factories engaged in the production of instrument* of war. In those places it is not forgotten that only searchlights pierce the blackout where stand the guardians of Can­ ada’s freedom, the volunteer war­ riors of the Dominion now abroad. Yet without laying down our tools we may reflect, this Labour Day, on what has befallen since peace ended a year ago. On the home front as on the battle front, the first year of the: war has -taught us again that events and not theories are the stuff of history. We could not foresee that Canada’s importance as a beliger- ent nation would ' increase in so short a time to be second only to that of Britain herself in the great struggle. Few imagined that the Dominion would acquire like stat­ ure in war industry. As Poland, Norway, the Low Countries, and France have been engulfed in the barbaric tide Canada has risen on the Atlantic horizon, but the tragic promotion brings new peril and re­ sponsibility. Although Canada cannot hope to retrieve the loss of the defeated Al­ lies’ military effectives, there re­ mains the possibility that in muni­ tions she may encounter the advan­ tage gained by the enemy in his capture of industrial equipment. For this mechanized war we must, with the other nations of the Com­ monwealth, provide weapons and material not less in volume than the entire production of Continental Europe. For the margin of superior­ ity that is essential to victory we can draw upon the production of our friendly neighbour the United States, but for the bulk of our Brit­ ish requirements we must depend: upon ourselves. The magniture of the effort re­ quired is gradually becoming ap­ preciated by Canadian workers and industrialists. Confidently they are shouldering the awful responsibility of replacing what hAs been lost and of pushing forward the supply of munitions and machines, first to re­ store the balance and then to re­ verse the odds in this deadly com­ petition. In this task Canadian workers are determined to be worthy of the those who wield the weapons they provid*—the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who stand in the front line. That line, as the Prime Minis­ ter of Britain has said, runs also through the factories. Armourers and men-at-arms are close com­ rades in the conflict All who make and deliver the food, clothing and shelter, the guns, cartridges, and shells, the aeroplanes and the tanka by which war is ‘waged—all who serve on the home sector of the front, in forest and field, factory and mine; the transport workers and the women who sew and weave —are treated as combatants by a ruthless foe in a total war. To serve as combatants is a duty and an honour. The challenge is thken up by the workers of Canada. For! them, every stitch is a stitch in the MISSILES FOR HITLER Shells being tested in a Canadian factory before the application of the copper driving band. Thousands of these are being turned out daily. -----------------------------------——★They’re So Convenient"SNMK•TEA BAGS shroud of Tyranny, every nail a nail in its coffin. Intent on doing their share in re­ gaining for the conquered lands their freedom and in saving their own, the workers have no time for the diversions and distractions, the arguments and the quarrels, which enlivened the days of peace. Still less have they time or inclination for theorizing about social and in­ dustrial relationships in face of the fact that Socialism, like Commun-'| ism, has been proved by experiment ito be nothing but a system of regi- I mentation for the war which it ren- I ders inevitable The stark reality of | war shatters all illusions, dwarfs peace-time issue*. The Hun is at the gate. Britain, Canada’s island outpost, is besieged. If Canadians do less than their duty in supporting that last bastion of freedom the world will be enslaved. And so for every worker and every Canadian there is but one Labour Day reso­ lution assured of wholehearted con­ currence: Let’s spit on our hands and get on with the job. “Goodness, George! This isn’t our baby. We have the wrong carriage.” “Sh-h-h. This is a better carriage.” ^S N A P S H O T GU ILD MAKE YOUR PICTURES POINTED Make your picture* pointed. In thi* shot, the sign help* tell the storySuch detail* often "make” a picture. XTJHEN you see an opportunity for ’ ’ a picture, shoot it—but don’t always stop there. Think a bit, andsee if there Isn’t a way to improve the shot and make it more pointed. Every good picture has a point— It tells you something when you look at it. The more definite youcan make the idea or "story,” the better the picture. And often little added details, things that don't oc­ cur to you at first glance, yield a much-improved shot For example, consider the boys and their wagon-works, as shownabove. Chances are, Dad supplied the tools and tbe idea, and shot a first picture in the backyard. Then, very likely, the “men working” sign down the street suggested abetter background—one that would make the picture more effective— so the scene was changed for a second shot. Incidentally, this shot might have been even better If Itincluded tbe whole sign. That’s the way a lot of good pic­ tures are made. The first picture doesn’t have to be the final one. If an idea is good, it’s worth repeat­ing later—In a different location, or with different subjects. Oftentimes, in examining a print, yon can seepoints where the picture might be Improved—and In a great many cases, It’s easy enough to get a second shotTo make yonr pictures morepointed, here are some tips. First, show the action clearly, so anybody can tell what is going on. The camera position baa a lot~lo dowith this, and sometimes a shift of a foot or so to one side will make a world of difference. Holding the camera higher or lower makes a difference, too.Second, eliminate things that don't contribute to the picture idea. If there are objects that have no part in telling the story, move them aside, or choose a viewpointthat leaves them out of the picture. Third, keep the interest within the picture. Let the subjects look at what they're doing. Few pictures demand that the subject look at thecamera, or even appear aware of it. Try these hints, when you're shooting pictures—and when the first shot isn’t perfect, get a second one. It’s a poor idea that isn’t worthtwo or more pictures. 299 John van Guilder * '
