Morris of the Windsor Salvation Army Corps Was Guest Speaker. — The Ingersoll Kiwanis Club held•* “Ladies’ Night” on Thursday even­ ing last at the Ingersoll Inn in place of their regular weekly meet­ ing. There was a splendid turnout of the members and their ladies aS well as a number of guests. President Henry I. Stewart occu­ pied the chair and welcomed the guests. Bruce McMillan of Wood- stock, presided at the piano for the I evening and in addition to his in­ strumental numbers he contributed a vocal solo, playing his own ac­ companiment Miss Margaret Lewis, also of Woodstock, delighted the. gathering with piano accordian num- #bers. During the evening gifts were presented to Mrs. Kate Revell, owner of the Ingersoll Inn and to her son-in-law Kiwanian George Gil­ lespie and Mrs. Gillespie who have »catered to the Kiwanis Club for a 'long tenn of years for their regular weekly dinners. Mrs. Revell has dis- /'c ed of the hotel and it will be Liken over by new interests the first of April. A beautiful bouquet of flowers was won by Mrs. Preston T. Walker in the door prise djaw. The guest speaker was Brigadier B. Morris, of the Windsor Salvation Army Corps. He was introduced by Captain Peter S. Kerr, officer in charge of the Ingersoll Corps of the Salvation Army. Brigadier Morris who spent nearly twenty years in China with the Sal­ vation Army gave a first hand ac­ count of the suffering of the Chinese people as the result of'the Japanese invasion of that country and the terrible cruelties inflicted on the Chinese women by the Japanese soldiers. Brigadier Morris related the attack of the Japanese on Shanghai, and of the total destruction of the Chin­ ese section of that city of five mil­ lion people while the international section of the city was untouched. The speaker said that the terrible suffering of the Chinese people as the result of the Japanese invasion of China and the hardships that pre­ vailed there were hard to believe by any one who had not witnessed them. He said that while more re­ verses might yet be suffered by the United Nations in the Pacific, with the possibility of an attack on Can­ ada by the Japanese, the time would fkne when Hong Kong, Singapore, the Malay States and other places that had been lost in recent battles would be returned and when China o would be freed of every last Jap. He declared in closing, “I am afraid we underestimated the Japanese and also over-trusted them.” The thanks of the gathering were extended to Brigadier Morris by Kiwanian Royden G. Start. Verschoyle Farm ForumThe Verschoyle Farm Forum meton Monday evening at the school fordiscussion. The broadcast entitled, “When the Boys Come Home”, was very interesting. Mr. H. W. Parkhill led in the discussion. The group agreed that about fifty per cent of the people who have left the farms of this community in the last two years, could be re-established locally after the war. It was agreed that interest in farm life would have to be stimulated. Some felt that some of the remaining fifty per cent might find employment around the air ports which would be used by civilians, A great prospect for carrying of freight by plane was seen, since the Canadian Air Force before the war carried more freight than that of any other country. It was suggested that if the war end­ ed tomorrow one million men in Canada would be idle. Since many farms arc now handicapped, because of insufficient farm labour, many of these would find employment.: Unless the farm prices rise in ac­ cordance with other things, how­ ever, farmers will not be able to hire men. Some felt that if farmers could afford to build a small house they could keep a married man. The city dwellers must have food and the farmers will produce providing they can make a reasonable profit. It was estimated that a man milking six­ teen cows would have as wages for one year seven hundred dollars, out of which to pay for the upkeep of a house and his hydro bills, etc. The farmer has a great responsibility and a great deal of money invested does not receive nearly as much as a factory_ worker. Some felt that when the boys come home, many could be helped by a re-establishment scheme where­ by the government could place such men on their own farms. Of some they could make a small experimen­ tal farm. The recreational part of the'even­ ing was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Parkhjll. The winners for the progressive euchre were: Mr. George McConkey, Mr. James Be)l, Mrs. Henry Albright ’and Mr. Henry Albright. The last meeting of this series will be held next Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Albright. At this meeting the plans for the summer meetings will be arranged. Mrs. C. A. Love, Hostess To Evening Group The March meeting of the Even­ ing Group of the Ladies Aid of St I Paul's Presbyterian Church, was held at the home of Mrs. C. A. Love,i k i n g street east. Following the opening of the meeting with the singing of ”0 Canada”, the Scrip- .ture was read by Mrs. Gordon Pit­ ted. A poem, based on Ecc. 8:15, was given by Miss Jean Borland and a- reading, “Shadow* of the Cross,” by Miss Jean Sutherland. The Bible study on the subject, “The different time* Jesus showed Hjnuelf to the Disciples after the Crucifixion,” was sonducted by Mrs. Love. Mrs. H. H. Turner spoke tn the group concerning Red Cross work. The regular reports were given by the secretary, Mrs. J. C. Herbert, and ,the treasurer, Mr*. C. A O*- i born.

The ruling handed down by the Deputy Minister of Municipal Affairs, A. J. B. Gray and M. I. Jones, Sup­ ervisor of Municipal Affairs when representatives of the Town Council had an interview with the Ontario Department of Municipal Affairs in Toronto last Thursday was that an election will be necessary to fill the vacancies in the council caused by the resignations of Councillors S. H. Underwood and L. J. Martin. The local officials were also in­ formed that there were a number of municipalities throughout the Pro­ vince of Ontario where the elections held last December and in January were not in order because of misin­ terpretations of the Local Govern­ ment Extension Act passed last year by the Legislature. While it was stated that the matter of the Mayor, Public Utilities Commissioner and School Trustees not being legally in office was questionable, special leg­ islation is to be introduced during j the next few weeks by the Ontario I Legislature to ratify all these elect-I ions. Because of the difficulties en­ countered in many centres the Local Government Extensions Act was likely to be renewed this year and would be let die a natural death, the officials interviewed, indicated. As a result of the ruling by the officials of the Department of Muni­ cipal Affairs, a public meeting of the electors of the Town of Ingersoll is being called for-the Town Hall, Ing­ ersoll, on Friday evening of this week, March 27th. This is for the purpose of nominating candidates for the office of councillors for the Town of Ingersoll for the balance of the year 1942 to fill the vacancies caused by the resignations of Coun­ cillors Sidney , H. Underwood and Louis J. Martin. Nominations will be received from 7.30 to 8.30 o’clock p.m., and in case more than the requisite number of candidates are nominated, an election will be held on Monday, April 6th, 1942, with the polls open from 9 a.m. un­ til 7 p.m. Members of the Ingersoll Y’s Men’s Club and guests at their meeting on Tuesday evening, March 17th, at the Ingersoll Inn, were given first hand information on Thailand, by Walter A. Zimmer­ man, who returned last year after spending twelve years in Thailand, where he was sent by the Interna­ tional Committee of the Y.M.C.A. of the United 'States and Canada, to organize Y.M.C.A. work. Gordon Henry, president of the Y’s Men’s Club, was chairman of the gathering and guests included the presidents of the other Service Clubs of Ingersoll, directors of the’ Ingersoll Community “Y” and dir­ ectors of the Ingersoll War Chari­ ties. Y’s Man Bert Carr introduced the speaker. Mr. Zimmerman gave a most interesting talk describing the twelve years he spent in Thailand which was formerly known as Siam. He said, the country was about the size of France and had. a popula­ tion of about 16,000,000 people. The country had been governed by an absolute monarch until 1932 when a bloodless revolution estab­ lished a constitutional monarchy and set up a government similar to that of Great Britain. • He described the people as peace loving, industrious and friendly. The country had started a modern­ ization scheme about ten years ago and this had developed very rapidly, Mr. Zimmerman said. During the period of modernization Thailand had built up a defence force of about 80,000, The army was equip­ ped with considerable modern equip­ ment. It had a small navy and was just beginning to build up an air force. When attacked by Japan last December, Thailand was unable with her small defence forces to hold out against the great Japanese war machine. The speaker predicted a great fu­ ture for the country as soon as she could be free from the Japanese and he looked forward to the time when he could return there to continue the work he had started for the Y. M.C.A. The thanks of the gathering were tendered to the speaker by James M. Malcolm, a director of the Com­ munity “Y” Board.Duplicate Bridge Club The Ingersoll Duplicate Bridge Club met at the Ingersoll Inn on ! Monday evening for thoir regular weekly evening of play.

Hutt who passed away at Alexan­ dra Hospital on Tuesday evening, March 17th, was held from the resi­ dence of her sister-in-law, Mrs. R. B. Hutt, 269 Oxford street, on Friday afternoon, and was very largely attended by relatives and friends. Rev. Dr. H. H. Turner, minister of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, conducted an impressive service at the house at 3.30 o’clock. There was a profusion of beautiful floral tribute* indicative of the es­ teem in which deceased wa* held by her wide circle of friends. Interment was made in the IngeraoU Rural Cemetery, the pall bearers being Messrs. Frank E. Kestle, Elmer J, Chisholm, T. N. Dunn, W. Currie Wile*®, George Telfer and WarwickR, Marshall Reeling that the selection of suit­ able and attractive clothing was of real importance to Canadian women in this third Spring season of the war, the Evening Guild of St. James' Anglican Church again sponsored the Spring Fashion Show, held in the Parish Hall, on Thursday after­ noon and evening. A capacity crowd attended this most interesting affair and enjoyed to the full the showing of the many attractive models and the comment of Mrs. H. H. MacBain, who so ably and charmingly pointed out the fashion highlights of the var­ ious models and outlined the var­ ious trends and influences. The 1942 show had as its theme, “The Seven Stages of Women,” the infant, the toddler, the public school girl, the high-school girl, the party girl, the career woman and the homemaker. Each stage was attrac­ tively represented by models well known to the audience. As usual the two weddings, formal and inform­ al, with the beautiful costumes com­ plemented by lovely flower arrange­ ments, were a high point in the show. Mrs. MacBain opened her com­ mentary by stating that attractive clothes are of importance in keep­ ing up the morale of a people. She emphasized, however, that this is not for the purely selfish pleasure of the wearer, for it is true that Canadian women faring forth in their duties fitly and attractively clothed and immaculately groomed, can bring inspiration and courage to those with whom they come in con­ tact. There are two types of cloth­ ing essential to the women of to­ day, these are the “efficient” clothes _f$r the manifold wartime duties and the "charming”, the softly graceful feminine type of costume that acts as a counterfoil. Clothing should be chosen this year more than ever, with the ut­ most attention to the practicality of the style and material and the items displayed clearly show that the Ingersoll merchants are offering a fine selection of clothing, footwear and accessories of the type desired. Casual, classic and charming simpli­ city were the keynote with accessor­ ies adding tone, brightness and col­ our appeal. In accessories also we see the trend toward serviceable materials and styles that will last not one season, but several. There is little change in the fash­ ion silhouette this year, although the shoulder lines are softer and the spotlight in novely is on the skirts. The new type skirt which is tapered from hip to hem is similar to the pegtop skirt so popular during the first Great War, but is called by a more fanciful name, the "tulip skirt.” Strong flower shades called by Vogue, "high-handed colours”, and the soft hazy pastels, were shown in various fabrics. Especial attention was given to the imported woollens in herringbones, monotones and the especially popular checks and plaids. The classic or softly tailored suits, the jacket or suit dresses and the casual straight-cut top coats were much in evidence. Hats show the Renoir influence with' the tiny flower-bedecked bonnets very popular. An interesting note was that of the Russian influence which has come to us through the British designers. This was noted particularly in the use of shoulder embroidery, tunic blouses and full sleeves. Mrs. H. A. Wilson, the presi- dent of the Evening Guild, welcomed the guests and expressed the deep appreciation for the work done by Mrs. MacBain, her assistent, Mrs. F. G. Rich, the accompanist, Miss Mary Crowley, Mrs. J. Giffen who contributed xylophone solos at the intermission, to the models did their work so splendidly, to F. S. Newman, for the sound system, and to all who helped in any way. Door prize* were won by Miss Skidmore of Woodstock, and Mia* Mary Scott of Ingersoll.

Lions Club Had A Variety Program Things were reversed at the Lions Club meeting on Tuesday evening at the St. Charles Hotel Coffee Shop.

THURSDAY MARCH 26th, 1042 Unemployment Insurance Commissionr A new registration of all workers, insured and non-insured, in industries which now have insured employees is being carried on by the Unemployment Insurance Commission. It must be completed by March 31st, the close of the fiscal year, when insur­ ance books now in use must be turned in. The in­ formation gathered will bo used to bring the Com­ mission records up to date, and also to furnish in­ formation for a man-power inventory which the Government ir making. This inventory is being made under the authority of an Order-in-Council passed under the War Measures Act. The Unemployment Insurance Commission is now distributing the new forms for this registration to employers all over the Dominion. There are more than 150,000 employers with insurable employees in Canada, and the number of insured workers is ovdr 2,000,000. The man-power inventory registra­ tion will, of course, include many more than 2,000,- 000, embracing, as it does, insurable and non-insur­ able employees of indsutry.The forms whieh are being distributed have been prepared with a view to ascertaining the skill and training of workers so that Canada’s working strength may be utilized in the most effective manner. The War effort is constantly calling for more and more trained skilled men. It is hoped, through the inventory, to discover workers with skill and train­ ing which may be of value in carrying on the maxi­ mum War effort. The registration cards are being sent to employers who will see that they are filled out in respect to all their employees. They will then bc returned to the Employment and Claims Offices, of which there are more than 100 across Canada. Immediately after the last day period in March, insurance books must be’ turned in and new ones will be issued to cover the fiscal year opening on April 1st, It is essential that the registration bc completed and old insurance books be turned in by the end of this month. Information in respect to the registration and the issue of insurance books is obtainable nt any of the Employment and Claims Offices of the Unemploy­ ment Insurance Commission. Busy Canadian Bee Assists War Effort Within a few weeks millions of new workers will be busy aiding the Canadian war effort; many of them arc already here and many more will shortly arrive from the Souther States to assist in the job of food production. Normally the bees in Canada produce from 25 to 29 million pounds of honey each year, but they could double the output if necessary. Wax is another pro­ duct of the bee now in great demand for many pur­ poses. With certain sources of supply eliminated or curtailed, the honey bee must endeavour to meet the emergency with greater production. The honey bee in doing an efficient production job of her own also assists in increasing the yield of many other products. Farmers and gardeners are not a little worried over the possible shortage of seed. Most seed and vegetable plants cannot produce seed or vegetable without cross-pollinization. The methodical honey bee in her search for nectar .distri­ butes the life giving pollen from flower to flower. The rosy apple, juicy plum or luscious cherry would be practically unkonwn were it not for the visiting bee during blossom time. War production officials recognize the importance of the honey bee in war time economy and have granted certain priorities to the beekeeper who in turn should co-operate fully in providing for his bees the proper conditions that will enable them to work to their fullest capacity. Wheat Situation in Four Chief Countries Despite signs of improvement in Canada's wheat statistical position, the outlook for the four major exporting countries, Canada, Argentina, the United States, and Australia, pointe strongly in the direct­ ion of a record carry-over of wheat at the close of the current crop year for this group as a whole, states the Monthly Rev/eW of the Wheat Situation for February. The United States is likely to witness the largest year-vnd accumulation of old wheat in its history, equal almost to onc whole year's domes­ tic requirements, notwithstanding numerous schemes now'operating for the reduction of the wheat sur­ plus! Argentina and Australia will have their less extensive storage facilities taxed to the limit and neither' country has the home market possibilities to cut very deeply into the surplus. Canada, alone, ha* the prospect of a smaller year-end surplus on July 31, 1942, than existed twelve months earlier. By what amount it will be smaller than the 4$0 mil­ lion bushels held on July 31, 1941, it is risky te pre­ dict with any degree of certainty, but with the rec­ ord of seven months of the crop year before us, says the Review, it would appear safe to assume that at least part of the present improvement of more than 100 million bushels in the Canadian statistical position will still he held when the story of the next five months is told Mr. Thos.

I was reading the other day anarticle taken from a London, On­tario, newspaper of the last century.It deplored bitterly the softness ofthe women of that day as comparedwith their grandmothers, and I won­dered if that comparison of effete granddaughter and hardy and effic­ ient grandmother hadn't been going on since the time of the first grand­ daughter. It most certainly contin­ ues at this late date. Of course it is true that grand­ daughter doesn’t do the sustained and back-breaking work that fell to grandmother’s lot, but that is princi­ pally because she doesn't have to; because the jobs are now done by machines both in and out of the home. But the same thing, of course, applies to the work of men and is the result of progress along mech­ anical lines. No man now needs spend long laborious days to pro­ duce the little he must eat; the same amount of energy on his part plus machinery produces enough to feed hundreds. Yet he did it when he must, just as his wife showed her ability to do all she had to do to feed and clothe her family. That that other generation was rnuscu- larly stronger may be true, too, for muscles are developed only with use, but to regard one generation as less able than a previous one simply because it doesn’t do as its forbears were forced to do, isn’t quite satisfactory. Perhaps the ladies of the middle years of the last century did faint on the slightest provocation as the arti­ cle says, but that may not have been from any debility on their part It may well have been that, during that particular period, the clinging vine type of ladylike female was the ap­ proved of the great strong male of the day, and the ladies, as they al­ ways will, bless them, liked to oblige. One has only to read the novels of the period to see how the sweetly submissive young misses were the adored of the brave and hardy male. Why then should one exhibit the masculine virtues of self­ confidence and efficiency and so run the risk of being left on the shelf to be pushed around by grudg­ ing relatives, as was the case with unwed women of a bygone genera­ tion, who were not fortunate enough to be able to faint prettily as a means of showing their need for masculine protection? The male ego hasn’t changed much at that. Few men like to feel that a woman is their equal, no matter what the statute book says and no woman of sense, with a matrimonial hope in her heart, goes out of her way to explain how dumb at times she thinks her chosen mate. No, if she doesn’t faint to prove to him her need of his awesome strength, she has developed other ways of prov­ ing to him how wonderful she thinks him, and how little she can hope to emulate him. Nevertheless, although a little real or simulated flattery on the part of the female may be of great help in subjugating the male of the spe­ cies, it isn't to be taken for granted that the "dumb Dora” type has any great appeal to the average man. She may be all right on occasion, or as the radio or screen version of modern comedienne, but as a regu­ lar diet in real life, I should think she would pall as quickly on the male appetite as would a too sus­ tained diet of sweets. Most men like good roast beef with the addition of a little mustard. As to the girls of our day being less able than their grandmothers, I doubt it after seeing an exhibition given by Red Cross units of volun­ teer women workers in Toronto; es­ pecially would I contend that no group of women of another age could have put up a better perform­ ance than the corps I saw drill in the Armouries there. In fact, for precision and smartness, 1 would back them against any military unit of mere men, and these were girls, the majority of whom were business women by day and their beautifully co-ordinated military maneuvers were the result of hard work put in during their spare hours. If we are eventually reduced to having to de­ pend on women to fill the ranks, those young amazons are a fine be­ ginning. I’d like to them travel around to visit our towns and citiesand put on that display for the b<-n- •<It of the reluctant young male. We should then perhaps be able to dispense with the plebkite, for no man worth hi, mlt roinK. fore*, to have to confess to his sweetheart or slater, “Yow’re a better man than 1 am, Mary Ann." BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Robert Williamson —WHEN IT GLOWS IN THE DARKA paint that glows in the dark isbeing used for showing up objects inLondon’s black-out, and it foreshad­ows germless houses in the future.To "activate” the paint, ultra-vio­let rays generated by specially fil­tered filament lamps are thrown up­on it, when the object painted givesout a bluish glow and becomes visiblein the dark. The system fs being ex­ perimented with by London’s Under­ ground system, and, in the entrances to four stations in London’s West End, stair-raisers, bull’s eye signs and indication strips have been treated, and further tests are being carried out at a trolley-bus depot where a track will be treated to guide the trolley-buses into the depot. The principle of “fluorescence”, or the generation of light by any substance under ultra-violet rays, was discov­ ered/by an Englishman, Sir John Her'schel, one hundred years ago. Its war-time application may lead to its extensive use in painting the walls of rooms with fluorescent paint, which,, when activated gives off light approximately three times more effective than filament lighting. It can be 'so arranged that the wave-length of the exciting light not alone causes the paint to flu­ oresce but also kills off bacteria in the atmosphere. If the present black-out experi­ ments prove successful, the fluores­ cent paint will be made use of in a variety of ways, for example by illuminating the platform steps of buses, edges- of railway station plat­ forms and tramway junctions. Al­ ready many private business houses have installed the system for light­ ing entrance halls where the street doors have to be opened in the black-out. DUMBO JOINS THE FLEET Every British warship from des­ troyers upwards, is a floating cin­ ema nowadays. Whether they are in Arctic, Mediterranean or Pacific WBterg; the men on board see the latest films, often before they are shown to the general public ashore. “Dumbo,” the Walt Disney film about a little elephant ashamed of his big ears, was seen at sea long before it was generally released. I All films for the Royal Navy are sent out as soon as they are made. So far 434 films have been shown at 35,000 performances, while 60 news reels a week are going out to H.M. ships and providing the only visual news the men have of what is hap­ pening ashore. Each ship has from from one to three programmes a week, made up of the best of the feature films, interest “shorts” and news reels. Supplied by Britain’s film indus­ try at the bare cost of the print— one penny a foot—the films go round from ship to ship until they are so old that they are scrapped. Men whose ships arc on monotonous -patrol or convoy work, sometimes at sea for weeks on end, greatly Ap­ preciate the shows. The programmes selected by Commander A. W. Jarrattf who was called in the peace­ time film industry “the man who knows what the public wants.” Now he seems to have discovered what the Navy wants, for his selections are universally voted by ships' companies to be better than they ever saw on land. SHIPWRECKED SAILORS Ship’s crews and passepgers cast away upon the high seas need no longer be kept constantly at work baling out with anything from empty tins to hats to keep their splintered and bullet-riddled boats from being swamped. A new plug­ ging compound which completely fills any hole or crack, however irre­ gular, is now available for every lifeboat in Britain’s Merchant Ser­ vice, The.compound, a fibrous mater­ ial, has only to be kneaded for a minute or two to plug up the leak and make the boat seaworthy. It It has a binding effect, settling and hardening in water. First experiments with the mater­ ial were carried out by knocking a hole in a large barrel filled with salt water. The leakage was stopped at once. A “Saving Life At Sea” display now touring many big Eng­ lish towns includes eight model life­ boats and a glass tank filled with water in which the public testa the new compound by making holes in the models and plugging them up. Britain’s Ministry of War Trans­ port and the Admiralty have both approved of the device as a tempor­ ary repair compound for use in tha temperate sone. Teats are at pres­ ent being carried oat by the Royal Engineers as the compound may be Save IMPERIAL BANK OF CAN ADA Your Money• Be prepared) Be prepared for anyeventuality.

Dominion, Col­ onial and Allied Governments are also interested in it: no country, other than Britain, makes anything like it WOMEN CLOGMAKERS REMEMBER Women, who as young girls, made clogs for Britain's factories in the last war are to-day returning to work alongside their sons and daugh­ ters at the benches. There they are making heavy . protective footwear for munitions factories, steel works and all kinds of industrial concerns. More important than ever, now that the loss of Malaya means less rubber for gumboots, Britain's pres­ ent production of 50,000 clogs « week can be stepped up to 100,000 without adding to existing plant. And the raw materials need no ship­ ping space; much of the leather comes from Britain’s cattle herds, the wood from the beechwoods of the Chiitems, and the iron tips and nails from the foundries of the Mid­ lands, The clogs are very different from tho all-wooden Continental sabot. Built up carefully and skil­ fully like a heavy boot, sometimes with felt linings for comfortable wear, 'they are clogs only so far as the sole is made of shaped beech­ wood, the best material for the pur­ pose. Resisting heat, cold, water, molten metal and glass and injurious chemicals, they are much better than leather-soled boots, which would crack or perish under such conditions. They last longer, and are quite 50 per cent, cheaper than rubber. Queen Anne is dead, but not a clog factory founded during her reign which made footwear for the soldiers of Marlborough and has the same family represented on its board as in 17(ft. Standing opposite the “blitzed" ruins of Bow Church, London, the men and women work­ ing there to-day are turning out over 100 pairs of clogs a week each for explosive works, collieries, chem­ ical, gas and electrical works, bot­ tling and canning factories, steel rol­ ling mills, laundries, railway work­ shops, stables, garages, glassworks, dairies, breweries, distilleries, oil refineries and so on.

Get Ready For Baby Chicks(Experimental Farms News)Not infrequently, and particularlyby the beginner, a great deal ofenthusiasm is shown over the newcrop of Ibaby chick*—from whomto buy—how many to buy—and atwhat date the purchase should bemade.Too often, little or no attentionis given to prepaHng for the arrivalof the chicks from the hatchery, withthe result that there may be confus­ion, and rush at a time when every­thing should be ready for them. With due credit to those who have been able to raise small lots of chicks without the aid of brooder house or brooder stove, these two things are essential, says B. |F. Tin­ ney, Dominion Experimental Sta­ tion, Charlottetown, P. E. I. A ten-by-twelve colony house will handle about two hundred and fifty chicks to approximately six weeks of age. Prior to the arrival of the chicks, the house should be moved to the location selected and the building carefully checked for draughts. Draught* are disastrous in chick brooding. Floors and walls preferably should be double boarded with paper between. It is sometimes difficult to prevent draughts around the door. Try .boarding the openifig crosswise on the inside of the frame making a tight barrier twelve to fifteen ‘inches high. This effectively stops draughts along the floor. Cut the corners diagonally with a wire cloth or board so no square corners are left where chicks may pile. Provide adequate ventilation keeping in mind that draughts must be avoided. Replacing one window sash with a light frame, covered with cotton or muslin is an effective method of ventilation. This may be opened on fine days but should be closed in cold or stormy weather. Clean and disinfect the interior of the house—floors, ceilings and walls thoroughly. Have readily available an ade- quate supply of utensils—water, milk and feed dishes. Above all, have a supply of suitable feed on hand and, if you are a new begin­ ner have your feeding and manage­ ment routine worked out so you will know what , to do immediately the chicks arrive. Have a thermometer in each house hung at the outer edge of the hover and about two or three inches above the floor. This should register 90 to 95 degrees when the chicks are- started. With everything in readiness, start the brooder stoves at least two or three days before the youngsters arrive. This will gire ample time to make necessary adjustments to stoves and thermostats and the house will be warmed to the temper­ ature required. Check temperatures frequently during this test period for it is absolutely essential that uniform temperatures be maintained if suc­ cess is to be assured. • 2,000 MiEN AND A GIRL Songstress Frances Cramer, Blonde and petite, is one of thechief reasons why 2,000 youngairmen file into the big concert hall at Exhibition Park every wcejsto attend the CBC broadcast, at Manning Depot.

Even city dwellers will find that an outbuilding would be none the worse for a Spring touch up. Persons may be hesitant about using whitewash through the fear that a shower of rain might ruin it, but the Dominion Experimental Farms Services has evolved a water­ proof whitewash for outdoor work which will prevent a newly white­ washed barn fro* looking a picture of desolation after a downpour. This waterproof whitewash__is_ made up proportionately as follows: Slake 62 pounds of quicklime in 12 gallons of hot water, and add two pounds of salt and one pound of sul­ phate of zinc dissolved in two gal­ lons of water. To this, add two gal­ lons of skimmilk. An ounce of alum, although not essential, improves the wash. Salt should be omitted if the' wash is to be used on metal that rusts- < Another recipe for waterproof cold water paint is made in the fol­ lowing proportions: Beat up one pound casein in a pint of cold water; dilute with one-half gallon cold waler, and add eight fluid ounces of ammonia. Stir until a smooth jelly is formed, then add one-quartei fluid ounce of formaldehyde as a preservative. Stir in hydrated lime until a moderately thick paste is formed, and then dilute with water, of alcohol, or turpentine, or linseed oil as may be desired until a proper brush consistency is obtained. Cold water paint , should be “laid on" and and not “brushed out" as is done with oil paints. For farm buildings a disinfectant whitewash may be desired. Here is a recipe recommended by the Dom­ inion Experimental Station at Scott, Saskatchewan: Dissolve 50 pounds of lime in eight gallons of boiling water; add six gallons of hot water which has ten pounds of salt and one pound of alum dissolved in it. Add a can of lye to every 25 gallons of the mixture. Add a pound of cem­ ent to every three gallons gradually and stir thoroughly. The alum pre­ vents the wash rubbing off, and the cement make* a more creamy mix­ ture easy to apply and covering more surface. A quart of creosol disinfectant may be used instead of the lye. but lye is preferred when the colour i* to be kept white. Auction Sale of 34 Head of OntarioHorses. R. M Lang and W. H.

With help so scarce, and with an urgent need for all the milk than can be produced, the milking mach­ ine can play a very important part. However, the milking machine must be properly looked after if the qual­ ity of the milk is to be maintained. With its yards of rubber tubing, the mechanical milker furnishes a won­ derful breeding place for bacteria; unless proper steps are taken, these grow there between milkings and billions of them are flushed out with the milk at the next milking. Com­ plaints follow and the milking mach­ ine gets a bad name. A number of different methods have been recommended for the care of milking machines. Too often these take so much time to carry out that the minutes saved in milking are used up in trying to carry out the directions. Such directions usu­ ally call for large quantities of hot water, something not easily produ­ ced on the average farm. Research by the Division of Bacteriology and Dairy Research, Science Service, has proved beyond a doubt that mach­ ines may be kept in excellent sani­ tary condition by a very simple method. Furthermore, hot water is not necessary except for washing the milker bucket and head. This method, which has been in daily use at the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa since 1930, relies upon a thorough rinse with cold water im­ mediately after milking to remove mose of the milk remaining in the teat-cups and tubes, then filling them with a weak solution of lye. This removes the remaining traces of milk and at the same time pre­ vents bacterial growth. Brushing is not necessary, although it is a good idea to disconnect the rubber and metal parte cnee a week to prevent them sticking together. The milker bucket and head are treated the same as the stripping pails and other utensils. Along with other useful inf91 ma­ tion, full directions for the use of ^the lye solution method are given in ^Special Pamphlet No. 54, entitled, “The Milking Machine." Copies of this pamphlet may be had free of charge from the Publicity and Ex­ tension Division, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. William Thayer Passes After Brief Illness William A.

In it Mrs. Branch dealt fully and sympathetically with the story up.andareof one who was the greatest childprodigy in Ute history of music andwhose later life fulfilled the promiseof his early years. Although besetby ill health and poverty in hislater years, he has remained true tohis high musical standards and dur­ing his brief career producedwards of 600 finished workssome 200 fragments."Dr. and Mrs. Branch whonow residents of St. John, N. B.,have many friends in Ingersoll whowill be interested to learn of Mrs.Branch's interest in the MusicalClub of that city, as she was a valued member of the Ingersoll Wo­ men’s Music Club while here. JAPAN’S BARBARISM andRETRIBUTION SYNOPSISHarley Longstreet ot DeWitt & Long­street, brokers, invites eight friends tocelebrate his engagement to CherryBrowne, actress. On a Crosstown trol­ley Longstreet dies suddenly of poisonscratched into his hand by a needle-pierced cork. The party consists ofLongstreet's partner DeWitt and his wifeFern and daughter Jeanne, her fianceChristopher Lord, Cherry's vaudevillefriend Pollux. Ahearn, friend of DeWitt,Impcrlale. middle-aged Latin, and Mich­ael Collins, brawny Irishman. At thecarbarn Inspector Thumm examinesthem. He is convinced the poisonedcork entered Longstreet's pocket afterthe party had boarded the trolley. Long­street always read the evening paper onthe trolley. Cherry Browne says, forthe stock market news, especially aboutInternational Metals. That's why hehad reached for his glasses. Suddenlyhysterical, Cherry rushes forward to De--Witt: "You did It." she shrieks. "Youhated hlml" Thumm examines the olh- *er passengers. The conductor, CharlesWood No. Sip! says he often has seenLongstreet and DeWitt on his car. Themotorman Culness No. 409. corroborateshim. Next morning Thumm learns thatLongstreet had had an affair with Mrs.DeWitt, a strangely superstitious wom­an; that he had a hold on DeWitt, fre­quently demanding large sums of mon­ey from him. Indeed, each memberof the party seems to have some griev­ance against Longstreet. This Is thestory Inspector Thumm and the D. A.tell Drury Lane, retired Shakespeareanactor. • V *W N'U. RELEASE Amidst feelings of bitter resent­ment and tense silence, leaders ofall parties in Parliament have ex­pressed demands for retribution tofollow in due course and in propermeasure aganist the barbaric behav­iour of the Japanese in Hong Kongand other parts of the Far East, though Premier King and Hon. R. B. Hanson, Leader of the Opposi­ tion, agreed that reprisals against Japanese nationals in Canada should not be taken since many Canadian prisoners of war are now in the hands of the enemy. C.B.C. WILL BE INVESTIGATED After many months of serious complaints, the Hon. J. T. Thorson, Minister of National War Services, has announced that a thorough in­ vestigation by a select committee qf Parliament will review the policies and aims of the Canadian Broadcast­ ing Corporation, together with a full probe of its regulations, revenues, expenditures, and general devlop- ment. This select committee will have powers to send for persons, papers, records, etc., and to examine into operations, reporting from time j respect, to time. pressure-interests may not yet haveben developed to full stature for theduration, perhaps but with possibili­ties of more collisions in future.In other words, the long quarrelover prices is merely one reverber­ation in the fluctuations of fortunebrought on by the war productionboom and one facet of a deeperconflict caused sometimes by theutterly unfair or illogical lack of balance between economic conditions in agriculture and the other indus­ tries of the country. Desipitc improvements in recent times, there have been, and still are. many false notions. Even in (war­ time, a democracy like Canada can­ not afford to be ineffective in any­ thing pertaining to farmers and it cannot be effective with any hit- and-miss methods or any laissez- faire atmosphere, if bankruptcy and -potential paralysis in economic stam­ ina of the land is to be avoided. There is no salvation except a gen­ eral policy of aiding the farmers directly and courageously. The effectiveness and efficiency of the total war process demands a dispos­ ition to harden the official attitude and the authorities must lead the electorate, not follow them in this PROTECTION OF COASTS Drury Lane sprang to his feet “Several questions, inspector. Has there been a development of inter- est from Dr. Schilling's autopsy?""Nothing,” said Thumm. “Wehaven't made an inch of progress in tracing the poison or its source.” "Inspector Thumm, you are en­tirely satisfied that the needled corkwas slipped into Longstreet's pock­et in the ear and not before?” "That’s one thing we're dead cer­tain of.” “Now tell me. Inspector—nothingwas found on the occupants of the car that would seem out of place, considering the weather and thetype of persons involved—like top­coats, evening clothes, gloves—thing* like that?” "No, I can absolutely vouch forIt" Lane stared thoughtfully at hisvisitors. "If everything Inspector Thummhas told me 1* true, then I believe the guilt lies in one direction. But I [prefer, for pressing reasons, not to[commit myself further at this time[on the pos’ ble identity of your un- [Known <(ua ry-shal! we call him X from now on?” "But Mr. Lane,” began Bruno,"a delay—after all ...”Drury Lane stood motionless.“Dangerous, of course. But nothalf so much, you will have .totake my word for it, as a prema­ture disclosure.”Bruno and Thumm faced eachother across Bruno's desk the nextmorning. The District Attorney’shand played with a neat pile of let­ters as he asked: "Anything new?" Thumm bit a cigarette in half, “Collins. Making trouble again. One of my men just found out that he visited DeWitt three times sinceSaturday. Of course, he’s trying tocollect from DeWitt.”Bruno began idly to open the let­ters. Two he tossed into a desk­basket for filing; the third, a letterin a cheap plain envelope, broughthim to his feet with an exclama­tion. “Good God. Thumm! If thiaisn't the sweetest break—!" Hespread the letter before the inspec­tor. It was written in rusty biackink on cheap ruled stationery, in aplain undisguised hand. Addressedto the District Attorney, it had no signature: I am one ot the people on thestreet-car when Harley Long­street was murdered. I havefound out something about whokilled him. 1 am willing to givethis information to you, but1 am afraid the murderer knowsI know, and 1 think I am beingwatched. * But If you will meet me, orsend somebody to meet me Wed­nesday night at eleven o'clock,in the Weehqwken terry waiting­room. I will disclose myself andtell what I know. Please for mysake don't tell any outsidersabout this letter. I am going towatch myself until that time. Thumm handled the letter gin­ gerly; he placed it on the desk and scanned the envelope. "PostmarkedWeehawken, N. J . last night.” he muttered. "Full ot fingerprintsfrom dirty fingers One of thoseJerseyites on the car."“We can stand a quick prosecu­tion.” Bruno rubbed his hands con­tentedly. "Get la touch with Dis­trict Attorney Rennells ot Hudsoncounty and make the necessary ar­rangements to have Jersey policewatch the Weehawken terminal.AU platoetothes."As Thumm went out Bruno calledthe Hamlet Hello I Mr. DruryLane . ■ District Attorney Bruno calling,""What’s the matter, DeWitt?Burt your hand?" They found the bundle wa* the body of a burly man, with red hair. "Oh yes. I forgot — he can'thear." Bruno explained the con­tents of the anonymous letter. Si­lence from the other end of the wire, then: "Mr. Lane asks if he may be present tonight at thismeeting." "Oh, by all means." In the bamllke waiting-room be­hind tlie Wce-hawkcn ferries, a doz­en men were grouped, silent andwatchful. District Attorney Bruno,nervously consulting his watch attcn-second intervals, paced the floorlike a maniac. Inspector Thumm prowled about, looking sharply at infrequent newcomer*. Quite alonesat Mr. Drury Lane.Bruno came over and sat down.“Forty-five minutes late already,”he complained. “To tell the truth,I’m beginning to feel a wee bitfoolish." “You would have more cause tofeel a wee bit worried, Mr. Bruno,”replied Lane. “You think—" began Bruno, andstopped, stiffening—as did Inspec­tor Thumm across the room—at theraucous commotion emanatingfrom the ferric* outside. "What is the trouble, Mr, Bru­no?” asked Lane.Bruno's head strained forward.“There was a cry of 'Man over­ board!* ” Drury Lane was on hisfeet in one feline movement. In­spector Thumm thundered: "Trou­ble on the pier; I’m going out!”Bruno also had risen. 'Til stayhere with some of the boys. Might be a decoy. Our man may comeyet.” At the farthest end of the roofedpier a ferry boat had come in andwa* grinding against the side pil­ings. As Thumm, Lane, and a half­dozen detectives reached the land­ing, some scattered figure* werehurrying" out of the terminal. The gold-leaf on the boat's pilot-house above the upper deck read: Mo­hawk. On the north side of thelower deck passengers milled wild­ly about. leaning over the rail, peer­ing out of windows of the starboardcabin-wall Drury Lane looked athis watch- The time wa* 11:40. Inspector Thumm sprang to theboat-deck. “What’s happened?” horoared to a gnarled ferryman. “They »ay he fell from the topdeck as the Mohawk was slidinginto the pier.”Thumm and Lane began to pushtoward the door of the cabin, whenThumm stopped short, extendinghis arm. A slight frail figure wasstepping off to the dock.“Hey there, DeWitt! Just a min­ute!"The frail figure, bundled in a top­coat, looked up. hesitated, then re­ traced his steps. His face was white; he was panting a little,"Inspector Thumm!" he said slow­ly. "What are you doing here?"“Little assignment. And you?”"I’m on my way home. What'sgoing on here?” "Might have stayed to find out,"said Thumm amiably. "Come alongwith us. By the way, meet Mr.Drury Lane, the famous actor.Helping out Mr. Lane, this 1* Mr.DeWitt. Longstreet's partner.” Dru­ry Lane nodded pleasantly; De­Witt's eyes, wandering before, sud­denly assumed something ot defer­ence. "This is an honor, sir.” Thumm lunged up the brass-tipped stairs amidships, the othersfollowing to the dark upper deck.Roughly between the center of theboat and the bow, a tew feet be­hind the chared space at the tipof the boat, and well to the rear of the pilot-house above, Thumm'sflashlight showed long, uneven marks that ran from the railing toan alcove at the nvrthweM outercorner ot th* cabin.“Jim, go downstairs and hold ev­erybody on the boat."Thumm and Lane, with DeWitttrailing, walked to the rail. "Aheavy object was dragged acroaehere," said Thumm. "Might bemurder ” tion. Lane leaned foeward. On theforefinger, extending from the firstjoint vertically, was a fresh scaran inch and a half long. A thinscab had healed over the wound."I cut my finger this evening onsome apparatus in the ExchangeClub gymnasium before dinner. Dr.Morris there fixed me up. Told me to be careful with it It pains a little.” A yell reached them from below."We’ve got him!”"Downstairs!” cried Thumm. Asone, the three men made for thedoor. As DeWitt grasped the han-die of the door he exclaimed in annoyance and frowned over hisright hand. Thumm and Lane saw that the wound was bleeding. Thescar hung loose, torn in severalplaces.“Shouldn’t have used my righthand on the door,” groaned the lit­tle man.They found the bundle was thebody of a burly man, with red hair. Beside the body, mangled beyond recognition, lay a visored blackcap, soaked. Thumm snatched itup. A shield above the visor borethe metal number 2101 and the in­scription: Third Avenue Railways. The inspector glanced sharply atDrury Lane, then thrust his han**into the inner breast pocket of Un­dead man's coat. His hand re­appeared with a soaked wallet Herummaged through it, and leapedto his feet. District Attorney Bruno, topcoattails flying, was hurrying from theterminal to the ferry. Thummwaved the limp wallet "Bruno!Hurry up! We’ve got our man!” The District Attorney splang tothe boat "Who.do you mean—thewriter of the letter?" "In person, only somebody elsegot to him first" Thumm eased awater-softened card out of the wal­let Drury Lane examined it overBruno’s shoulder. It was the trol­ley company’s identification cardand bore the signature: Charles Wood. "It’s the same writing,” agreedBruno.The macerated corpse ot Conduc­tor Charles Wood had been borneto the stationmaster's office. Bruno turned to Lane. "While In­spector Thumm is examining thebody, would you care to go down-stairs with me? There’s a raft ofwork to b> done.” At Lane's sug­gestion DeWitt went with tt-on The District Attorney called torthe pilot of the Mohawk."Wa're trying to get confirma­tory identifications of the dead man.Did you see the man whose bodywe had on the ferry-deck before?"“Hundreds of times. Sort of friend of mine, he was. Course.his head was bashed in and all that, but I’d swear he’s Charley Wood, conductor on th* Crosstown.”“What makes you think so?”*T just know.

Sometimes he'd stay onand gab tor a couple of trips. Buthe said be wasn't goto' to stay oufor any extra trips tonight becausebe had an appointment over inJersey.” Bruno dismissed the river-manand climbed on one of the watting,room benches, shouting: “Now Iwant all those who saw the bodyfall from the upper deck to stepup here!",Six people wavered, looked ateach other, then with hesitant step* crossed the room. Bruno, jumpingoff the bench, eyed a rotund man.“You—what's your name?" Though the Government cannot reveal the exact measures taken, yet it is known on Parliament Hill that important- steps have been taken by the armed forces command to guard the coastal waters, both Pacific and Atlantic, though the Hon. Angus Macdonald, Naval Minis­ ter, has disclosed that it is true that ships have been sunk not far distant from the Nova Scotia coast In any case, it is stressed in the nation’s capital that in face of the insistent demands for Information of this na­ ture, yet detailed public answers cannot be given for obvious reasons. STRICT IMPARTIALITY OF PLEBISCITE In order to assure a strict im­ partiality in taking the plebiscite to release the Government from its pledge against conscription for over­ seas service. Hon. N. McLarty, Secretary of State, has outlined and suggested a non-political scheme for recording the votes, with candidates receiving the highest number of votes in the last election appointing deputy returning officers in the odd- numbered polling divisions in their riding? and the candidates of oppos­ ing or different political interests receiving the next highest number of votes appointing deputies in the even-numbered polling subdivisions. Thus, the winner and runner-up in 1940 would split the nominations, 50-50-and returned men would get preference where it is possible to do so. FARMERS AND THE NATIONAL WAR EMERGENCY Straws show which way the wind is blowing. Accordingly, well-in­ formed sources on Parliament Hill, are attaching now tremendous signi­ ficance to the vibratory reaction of the people’s representatives and one courageous and clear-sighted policy of the Government in the efforts to help the depressed agricultural in­ dustries in order to substantially in­ crease farm incomes, though it seems remarkable, by contrast with other problems in this national emer­ gency, that so many people misun­ derstand both the official attitude and the position of organized farm­ ers as well as small farm proprietors or tenants. In face of the streamlined head­ lines and brief radio reports, yet the measures of special or intimate interest to farmers do not concern only farmers, nor do they involve only a price controversy between the strongest pressure-interests in this nation, particularly when it is re­ membered that this conflict between WANTED—RAW M uskrat Furi BEST O PRICES • RE D D 'S Furriers big and black fan ouuld* th* wt»WOODSTOCK rrvBtcoNTtiww) In the present national war emer­ gency, it must be recognized by the man-in-the-street that the product­ ion of food is as necessary for vic­ tory as the production of vital weap­ ons. Hunger defeated Germany in World War No. 1 as much as force of arms. In 1918, Germans were rationed each week to 3 pounds of bread, 7 ounces of meat, and 2 ounces of cereals so that the Im­ perial German Health Office calcu­ lated that the average man was getting only one-third of the 3,300 calories necessary to do normal work. Moreover, the fatal error w$s made in that war iby Germany of giving everything to the army. From 1914 to 1918, Germany mobilized 11.000,000 men and as a result there were not enough able-bodied men to work on the farms or to dis­ tribute the food by railroads, trucks, etc., to urban centres. Indeed, his­ torians have observed that a nation, which must grow its own food, can support only about one per cent of its total population under arms with comparative safety to itself and Ger­ many’s population in that war was 67,000,000. In the case of Canada, agriculture plays an even more im­ portant role in this war because this nation is obliged to supply tremen­ dous* amounts of farm products not only for home use but for Britain and her allies. Somehow or other, this vital fact is not understood by the man-in-the-3treet throughout Canada. The farmer has contended that he must get better prices for his products, demanding for a bushel of wheat as much purchasing power as- in the basic period of 1926-1929 since Canadian labor is being given as great purchasing power as it had in those years in addition to the huge financial assistance which the Government is now giving to indus­ try for building factories, buying tools for war production, and en­ couraging employers to give more bonuses in cases of increased costs of living, though at the same time provisions have been made to con­ trol prices, wages, and to protect workers by unemployment insur­ ance. In opposition to the farmer’s claims, it is pointed out that bonuses on bacon, cheese, etc., have been in order to stimulate production in these lines where there is a big de­ mand for such articles, but d* yet no such demand exists for wheat around which battles rage as to the proper price. Then again, the “dol­ lar” wheat as initial payment which was sought and the “parity” propo­ sition might bring the price up to about J1.42 a bushel in the end. Moreover, in absolutely impartial circle* on Parliament Hill there is not the slightest doubt that the pres­ ent Minister of Agriculture, Hon, James Gardiner, is one okthe most capable, astute,. and tireless mem- ber» of the King Administration and the case for the farmers could not be presented better in the Cabinet or in Parliament than through this Parliamentarian. In fact, those well- informed observers in Ottawa know that no one could have done more in the interests of the farmer* under the extremely difficult cireurn- stance* in this national wap'emer- geney, if the records of the other Minister* of Agriculture since Con­ federation are analysed in their proper, scientific perspective. At one time he declared in Parliament: “It ta generally admitted that 70 eenta advance at Fort William which nets the farmer 50 cents a busheldoes not cover his total cost of pro­duction and therefore does notmaintain him as a contented produ­cer. If he is to receive more money,it must come from the sale price ofthe wheat or from the taxpayers ofCanada or from both-” But in theCabinet of 17 members, as in anygovernment since Confederation,there cannot be a complete identityof view on any controversial prob­lem, and it must be considered in thelight of all circumstances, particu­larly the great demands of the waron the public treasury. Thus, theMinister of Finance or any other Minister might have much to say on such farmer demnds. Finally, the farmers themselves must under­ stand certain things about the pres­ ent status of labor with whom they make comparisons since labor un- ionism-as-usual is pretty much out for the duration. From now on­ wards, whether or not they arc en­ gaged in the war effort industries, their policies are no longer aggress­ ion and expansion but rather mere­ ly administration for the duration of the war, with the likelihood of in­ volving smaller staffs and organiz­ ations in the long run. It is, of course, unjust to lay the responsibilities for the depression in agriculture at the door of Parlia­ ment itself. Since the start of this war, there is much longer perspec­ tive of these events or happenings and there is a much better under­ standing of the causes. The greatest depression in history was due in the main to the greatest war in history. It was a world phenomenon. How­ ever, it is true that man-made poli­ cies must come sooner or later in greater recognition of the fact that the approach of so-called war pros­ perity in Canada, after a long and grinding depression, gives the farm­ er an opportuity to insist on rectify­ ing many cases of starvation rates and the lack of balance in the na­ tional economy as between the earn­ ings of farmers in general and the rest of the population. Well-meaning patriots, who demand coercion meth­ ods for farmers at this juncture of the war, or who deny farmers* rights, are, in ignorance and unjust zeal, imperiling their country. This is not only unnecessary but in con­ tradiction with the very purpose and meaning of the present struggle. About the need of avoiding a disas­ trous, internal conflict on this ac­ count. there is no doubt. It is un­ patriotic greed to do otherwise.— (Reproduction Prohibited.) — From — HEALTH LEAGUE of CANADA A whole lot can be done to im­ prove the health of mothers and children, and there is no field of public health service quite so import­ ant, Dr. Alan Brown, Professor of Paediatrics, University of Toronto, and physician-in-chief, Hospital for Sick Children, told the Welfare Council of Toronto, in a recent ad­ dress. He pointed out that in 1914 the infant mortality rate was 155 per 1,000 births,’ and at the end of 1940 the rate was reduced to 41 per 1,000 births. "The child,” he said, "is the best and most lasting asset of the state, and his under-nutrition or defects either in time of peace or war are unfortunate. We must remember that children form the great second line of defence in case of future trouble.” Care of children during the war should not differ from that during peace time, Dr. Brown stated, ’’pro­ viding enough work was being done. The child has always been the ward of the slate and a government must assume this care not only during peaee, but more especially in time of conflict” Dr. Brown praised the work of the Department of Health in Toronto, but said that it was; understaffed. He said it was quite uhable to ex­ pand and take advantage of the new life-saving discoveries of mod­ ern scientific medicine.' People who control the city finances do net ap­ preciate what great good can be ac­ complished by increased public health services, he said. Dr, Brown said the objective of a child health program should be: 1. (Intelligent preparation of every mother for childbirth. 2. Adequate prenatal eare to en­ sure a living, healthy baby. 3. Continuous supervision from birth to maturity. He said that Toronto, for ex­ ample. needs: 1. More public health physicians, nurses and laboratory workers, A city the site of Toronto should have a minimum of SOO public health nurses. It is calculated that the for collection phone— INGERSOLL 165 ideal situation is one public health nurse for each 350 to 400 children. In Toronto at present, one nurse has to look after about 1,200 child­ ren. < 2. A paediatrician for the corr- relation of this work and co-opera­ tion with the health officer. 3. A nutrition worker on the staff of the Health Department. z4. A campaign to reduce prema­ ture mortality. 5. A service for early diagnosis of whooping cough. 6. More prenatal clinics. 7. Re-opcnjng ot the pre-school clinjcs and the encouragement of the mothers to bring their children to them. For this is needed the appoint­ ment of adequate doctors to admin­ ister ths services. Expansion of the medical and dental services in the elementary schools. 9. Physical examination and health instruction for children in the secondary schools.

It wouldPROBES, REVISES, IMPROVISESTO MEET NEW CONDITIONSby KIM BEATTIE With the Canadian Army (over­ seas)—The changing scenes and ab­ sorbing interests of the military writer’s unit-by-unit tour of the Oanadian Corps, rush upon him in such a close-packed stream that he is fortunate to obtain more than a confused medley of martial impres­ sions. He is lucky if he finishes with better than a shuttling and discon­ nected procession of random recol­ lections. But during this winter’s (Lon- don-dubbed) lullabhtz, such a piece­ meal panoramic of the Canadian Corps w'as all that could be expected. Lieut.-Gen. H. D. G. Crerar, D.S.O., acting Corps Commander insisted that the lessons of last autumn’s large-scale manoeuvres should be incorporated into each unit’s train­ ing with despatch. Further, when weather and other factors shut down on great field exercises, Gen­ eral McNaughton sent the Canadian Corps “back to school;” and General ■Crerar, who took over at the first of the year, shortly ordered that this new instructional knowledge and tactical training should be instilled and drilled with relentless urgency. The ^Canadian Corps is on the edge •f another "invasion season.” The result was intensive train­ ing, hardening and tightening, by units. It was possible to criticize or admire the mold or finish of a single cog, but difficult to discover the marvel precision and power in the whole, intricate machine. Complex But Single Entity But in the midst of this scattered, if ceaseless preparation, I encoun­ tered my most indelible experience of all the host of them that grip the visitor to the home of the Canadian Corps. For nearly a week I sat well back and observed the Canadian fighting machine in its true, reveal­ ing perspective—saw it as the im­ mensely powerful and complex, but single, entity which it is. Over a period of five of the most fascinating and informative days experienced in two wars, I discov­ ered how the Canadian Corps works. I saw what makes it tick, together and apart, saw who directs its large and small cogs, and what manner of men they are. I envisioned it mustered in detail, and assembled to strike. I saw how close-knit con­ trol keeps the cogs clicking in uni­ son, watched pre-battle planning for small operations and learned how the compact whole will move and fight in the full might of disciplined, cohptive strength and unshakable sinj.i.ness of purpose. During these memorable days the complete galaxy of Canadian action commanders and "G” (Oper­ ations) staff officers—the “fighting” leaders—were assembled together, ranged around a great amphitheatre, and earnestly preoccupied with a probing review of Canadian Corps tactics. Commander* Around Sand Table In the pit below them was a gii.nt sand-table. On it the field and staff officers of each of the fighting arms and ancillary services in turn, staged minor operations and major engage menu, and explained how they intended to fight—support, feint, deploy, withdraw, assault, co­ operate—on the battlefield. For five days the Canadian tacticians who will defend ground, raid, harass, or assault the Wehrmacht in gigantic lunges, demonstrated their skill, drew on their store of modern speed-tactics, and ,of the fighting lore of the great tacticians of the past. And always that formidable array «f grim battle-cOmtaandera end their staff officer* stared down from their tiered aeata, sternly weighed the disposition and movement of troops, tanks, gun*, support*, am­ munition and supplies. I I would like to impress just what i)mt meant. No staff college ever m W anything like it For it meant that groups of Canada’s actual fight­ ing captains and their staffs, one battje headquarter* after another, olJ-’ - l up their personal tactical concipt* and favorite private doc­ trines of war for judgment Not before the enemy it is true, but before the most bluntly critical and ruthlessly discerning audience on God’s warring earth—the enter* magnificent roll of key fighting men of the Canadian Corps. Of the sen­ iors, only General McNaughton, now in Canada on an important mis­ sion, was missing. Conclave of Tactician* The remarkable conclave of tac­ ticians was not only unique because it was the first time for the histor­ ical record that all the action-lead­ ers, and their staffs of the Canadian Corps had come together under one roof. It was one of the most mor­ ally courageous scenes we have ever witnessed. The Canadian officer is confident and sure, but I imagine that some of the brigade battalion and battery commanders, and senior “G” officers, would have preferred facing the most vaunted Nazi forma­ tions on the field, at long odds, tp displaying their grasp of modern armoured tactics and ancient fighting fundamentals—or their lack of it— before such a hard and relentless gallery’. This complete willingness to bring out private theories and per­ sonal practices for approval, or for criticism and condemnation, was unforgettably impressive in what it revealed. It disclosed how clearly the men who may well Tiold the fate of the British Isles in their hands have recognized their terrible responsibility. It also disclosed their anxious sense of responsibility to the men they command. Running through the entire series of battle rehearsals was an almost tangible feeling of life-or-death seriousness in each move and decision on the battlefield chessboard. Leave Nothing To Chance The indomitable assembly was unanimously determined to leave nothing to chance, to leave nothing for action and casualties to prove— not even if their pet theories were publicly shattered and scorned. They wanted to clear the air and sweep the deck for action. And they did! They frankly confessed their lacks and misunderstandings, and asked for help. And got it. They sought clear perceptions and certain know­ ledge of every cog in their fighting machine before Hitler could mount a spring invasion. And they have it. Presiding over the muster of the best brains and military skill serv­ ing in England with the Canadian Corps was Canada’s Lieut.-Gen. H. D. G. Crerar. Beside him was Brit­ ain’s Lieut.-Gen. D. L. Montgomery, G.O.C., a British Command. Both senior generals gave their personal comment and decrees at the conclus- ion of each tactical set, with the Canadian quick to dismiss the eth­ eral and hold discussion to the hard facts of how the Corps will fight from the first “Stand-to” to the final decision. Lieut. General A. G. L. McNAUGHTON, CJL, C.M.G. D.8.O., M. Sc, L.L.D., who commands tbe Canadian Corps, is the typical modern commander. Noted in the field* of science and soMHeriag, be combtambath as a foremost soldier-scientist. Congratulation and Criticism General Montgomery, slight, keen, deeply interested, and at the close sincerely emphatic with congratula­ tions for the skill exhibited, gave advice and counsel from past and current campaigns, and the view­ points and practices of the British Army. General Crerar, clear, logical, always constructive, and given to observations striking in their dis­ cernment and scope, debated tactics and decisively agreed or disagreed with his major-generals, brigadiers, colonels and lieutenant-colonels with­ out reserve or distinction. That was the prevailing mood of the ten morning and afternoon tac­ tical sessions. It was all done in high good humor, but if words were im­ personal they vfere, neither minced nor wasted. Dispassionate critics disregarded rank and reputation, and were unawed by crossed swords and batons. The senior field and staff officers of the Canadian Corps theoretically took their hair down and literally their coats off to thresh out tactical theory, method and practice. It was an historic free-for-all of criticism. Everyone enthusiasticallypicked everyone else’s brains. They I winnowed the chaff, flailed out flaws, ruthlessly banished, bolstered and strengthened, tested and tightened, discarded and adopted, changed and explored. Important and secret things were inevitably bared, but it was revealing to note how little fin­ ishing there was actually to* be done in the set-up and.smooth-working of the Canadian fighting structure.

The pfctar* wasuMde at Ms 4e*t la Kngtand a lew weeks ag* When a doctrine ’was riddled, the answer was produced. When un­ orthodox ideas were held too im­ practicable, the theorist was .given sound reason. If a commander of field artillery, of Bofors or anti­ tank guns did not like his assigned job, or the site of it, he tersely said so, and why. If too much or too little was left to the 2” mortars, the Bren guns, the infantry bayonets and Tommy guns, the men who lead them made their protest with clip­ ped phrases. The general atmosphere is con­ jurable if you envision a well-known tank brigadier giving tongue. WheiT discussion time came, and tanks were in the battle-plan, he rose, un-! rolled his muffler, shed his British, I warm, and in typical stance—handson hips and grizzled head pugnac- lj iously forward—proceeded to loose his opinions. When he thought that the infantry neglected the power and weight of his tank brigade, those opinions were blunt. When the tacticians seemed to him to have erected a puny defence against on­ coming panzers, they were blunter. Bludgeons of common sense came from officers who were not particu­ larly known as keen tank men; though the Canadians have had to concentrate on a defence against a horde from the sky they disclosed their assault-mindedness in their grasp of armoured tactics, There was a remarkable combination of intimate knowledge of both, of ar­ moured-infantry and infantry-guer­ illa fighting. Emphasis Always On Speed Time-condoned rivalry of services was rampant The Infantry jibed at the Guns; the Mortars and Mach­ ine-guns twitted, but seriously ap­ plauded, the Bomber Barrage air­ men; the Engineers, Signals, Army Service Corps and Ordnance waxed caustic when the fighting arms failed, to appreciate their worth, ability and problems. Wit and pun­ gent humor eased the sting when a battle-piece was ripped apart, but each tactical set-up was of immeas­ urable value in helping the various arms and services to understand and know each other. Methods of obtaining fast artill­ ery and bomber support was reveal­ ed to warm a last-war footslogger’s heart. Always, the emphasis was on speed, on cutting time lag. Inevit­ ably, tightly keyed signal arteries were held indispensable. Finally, one feature stood out like a beacon. Beyond the last, lin­ gering doubt, the Canadian Corps, is directed, staffed and led by the pliant and not the opinionated. Tactical Innovation* Welcome No rutted mind which had mis­ taken stubborn adherence to obso­ lete doctrines for firm character, could have stood the gaff of that barrage of criticism. No Brass Hat of the unyielding type which has been so much, and often so justly, condemned in recent years, could have stomached that flood of unorth­ odox but sound suggestion. The Canadians undubitably hold that no tactic h unbendable, that any de­ vice, ruse, stratagem or innovation is worth exploring—and may be used by the enemy. They don’t un- have been to anyone, just as it musthave been to the tacticians them­selves.You could travel from one end ofthe Canadian defense position inthe British Isles to the other, as Ihave done, without being struck by the iron-fibre that these fighting leaders and battle directors actually constitute in the make-up of the Corps. You could watch their units reacting to their personality and drive, as well as their orders, but you might still fail to assess the true wealth-at-arms we possess in these skilled, hard-headed, resolute men. Young Brigadier* and Colonel* But you saw it in this picturesque masp-study of tactics . Here were new armoured troopers and hard- tried soldiers of the trench-locked war. H^re were scarred, war-wise uffantry brigadiers and colonels, wearing gallantry medals and orders of chivalry. Here was a lean divis­ ional commander with the old rose of the Victoria Cross on his battle­ dress, and here another major-gen­ eral with both commissioned and non­ commissioned soldier’s honor decor­ ations. Here were assault-trained engineers of Canal du Nord; supply column commanders from Vimy’s plank road; old fuller-phone signal­ lers of Ypres’ cable trenches, turned radio ’exponents; and gunners of Valenciennes, greatest of all Can­ adian artillery shows. And thickly sprinkled through the iron-gray and resolute purpose of experience were many trim, alert brigadiers and colonels—so young they almost startled—to provide the grand leavening of resilience and imagination with the wary and the battle-proven. Watching them I acquired an exultant sort of confidence. For here will be cold efficiency amid tumult and confusion. Here were men who will be impervious to panic, unawed by set-back and seeming de­ feat. Here will be clarity and de- .cjsion and soreness. There will be no incredible blundering into chaos and fantastic blundering out again with such staffing and leading. Rehear,*1 For Action The martial scene was even more impressive through the realization that the actors will re-enact on the battlefield the very roles I watched. Battle-plans wer-» mounted by the same officers who may fight that actual battle on that identical battle­ site. Some of the sand-contours rep­ resented key Canadian positions in the British Isles. It was like watch­ ing afar off while the Canadian Corps defended Britain against an invading Nazi horde. There is little doubt but that the momentous tactical conference strengthened and heartened all con­ cerned for the hard road which, soon or late, lies ahead. The whole complex fighting machine is tight­ ened and girded. Every unit may avoid mistakes and confusion it might have met in action; they will all fight more efficiently and effect­ ively, and will be greater in battle, because of the clearer insight ac­ quired in those five days by their staff officers and commanders. Jasper National Park W ild Life Plentiful Wild life is plentiful and healthy in Jasper National Park, the vast conservation area in the Rocky Mountains on the main line of the Canadian National Railways. Gov­ ernment officials checked the animal population during the open season and reported a noticeable increase in all specimens, particularly the Elk family. It was further reported that Rocky mountain sheep. Rocky moun­ tain goat and deer are numerous, ths caribou herds are thriving in the northern part of the park and that Beaver are increasing in all sections. Bird life and waterfowl are alio said to be numerous and many of the rarer kind have been obeerved^with- in the park. Hunting is prohibited within the park area and wild life has found grateful sanctuary within its 4,200 square miles. While shopping, Mrs. Jones thought she'd take her husband a little present.
