Murray, principalof the Ingersoll I'ublic Schools, hasannounced the discontinuation of the Penny Bank in the local schools.This, however, is not a local change,but a Provincial one and the follow­ ing taken from a circular to allschools in Ontario where PennyBank is carried on fully explains thereason for this move. “During the la.*-t taro years thedeposits in The Penny Bank of On­tario have been steadily reducing. This condition has been broughtabout by the children purchasingWar Savings Certificates and WarSaving Stamps and it is, therefore, clear that the Bank is competing toa certain extent with the Govern­ment’s policy of selling War SavingsCertificates and War Savings Stamps to the children.For this reason and in order tosave the man power of all those who so kindly help in the operation ofthe Bank, it has been decided to dis­continue taking deposits for the dur­ ation of the war, to take effect fromthe close of business on 27th Febru­ary, 1943.The usual facilities for withdraw­ al of deposits continue as hereto­fore. Mr. Murray emphasizes to parents that withdrawals may be made atany time later on or the money maybe left in the bank like a regularaccount. The staffs of the schools will continue to encourage thriftthrough the sale of Wai- SavingsStamps and at the same time assistin the war effort. DIED SCOTT—At the Brantford GeneralHospital.

In his own interests, every vehicle ownet is asked to apply at once for a new gasoline license and ration coupon book for each of his vehicles. Under the new system, effective April 1, all commercial vehicles v#11 be rationed. All non­ commercial vehicles will be granted a basic “AA” gasoline license and ration coupon book, containing 40 coupons for a passengercar,^pr 16 for a motorcycle. Owners of non­ commercial vehicles eligible for a special category, who can prove their need, will be granted an extra vocational allowance, fixed in advance for the year ending March 31,1944. The extra allowance for a special category car will be tailored to meet individual needL In. determining this allowance the pre­ vious' category and mileage of the car will tot be considered. Instead the vocational allowance will be based on two factors: (1) The gravity of the oil shortage with <hicb Canada is faced, and (2) the importance of the vehicle to its owner in a country at war. The extra vocational coupons will be Issued in books labelled “Special", and each such book will contain not more than 60 coupons. Only one “Special” book, or portion of snch book, will be issued at a time, and hence tha case historf of each special category applicant will be tinder constant review. Under provisions of the rationing order, the Oil Controller will have, the right to re­ fuse any application for a special category, or to suspend any ration book for an infraction of the regulations. Every motor vehicle, other than a motor­ cycle, must bear on its windshield a sticker indicating its category. After April 1, service \ station attendants will not be permitted to serve gasoline to a car which does not bear the sticker wjhich corresponds to the ration book submitted at the time of the purchase. To obtain a gasoline license and ration coupon book, secure an application form at your nearest Post Office. Study the form and follow the instructions contained therein. When you receive your ration coupon book, guard it carefully. It may not be seplaced if, because of your negligence, it is lost or stolen. Do not leave it in your car;-keep it on your person at all times. THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNITIONS AND SUPPLY HONOURABLE C. D. HOWE, SALFORD Mr. T. B.

While we all ■want to practise economy in buyingfood, there is no need to sacrifice either health or the enjoyment ofeating. But we should learn how to get the moat nutrition value for ourfood dollar. So do remember the important items are milk, whole­grain cereals, vegetables and fruits in season, and protein foods such as eggs, fish, meat and poultry. Richdesserts and imported foods are“non-vssentials” and moreover cx'- pensive. While tea and coffee are rationed, it’s good to know thattomato bouillon or milk contain more nutrition.We think you’ll be surprised how even a little food wasted now andthen mounts up in a month. Waste of your money, too! If the grocer sends an apple with a spot on it, wenotice it right away. But are we as careful to save food in our homes?One good way to prevent spoilage— and get better nutrition—is to makethe most of foods while they are still fresh.Of course, ___,___ __ ___I tricks with left-overs, but now we need to be on the lookout for newideas on how to use up our “bits and pieces" if we arc to make fulluse of our food dollars. everyone has special Good Storage 1. Keep your eggs in the elec­ tric refrigerator or some other cold place, taking them out only as need­ed. Never wash eggs before storing as this destroys the “bloom” thatkeeps out air and odours. If soiled, wipe with rough, dry cloth before putting away.2. Wash poultry thoroughly, in­ side and out, but never soak inwater. Pat dry and store, loosely wrapped in wax paper.

Raw fish and meat need tobe stored below freezing unit of electric refrigerator or in the cold­est place you have. Wipe off; do not wash.4. Be extra careful of ground raw meat. It spoils rapidly. Keepit wrapped in wax paper. Because it turns darker in colour is no sign of spoilage—aroma, sliminess ormould determine decayed product. 5. Cooked meats need specialattention, too. Be sure to cover them before puting away. Do not slice or chop cooked meat until just beforeusing—cut meat spoils more quickly. CRAMPTON The Crampton W.

Long We are sometimes apt to say, andrather disparagingly too, that a per­son wears his heart on his sleeve.We take the attitude in so doingthat to show grief is tantamount to seeking pity. The love of pity mayin some instances make for a toogreat outward show of grief, butthe sorrow that is deepseated finds expression whether the sufferer isconscious of the fact or not. It im­prints itself in the lines of the face and in the eyes that mirror the soul,as clearly as though the word sor­row were written indelibly on thesurface. Silent sufferers are quite often those who fail at all times toregister emotion, who feel that-emotions are rather private things,carefully to be hidden. That is their disposition, and it is neither to theircredit or discredit that they veiltheir real feelings. Others are proneto ^display all their emotions, whether of joy or sorrow, delight ordismay. It is facially impossible forthem, to'control the outward signs of tbeir inward emotions. But thatis a far different thftig from the con­tinued and baleful display of “sorrow that makes a corresponding demandon others’ sympathies. They don’tget them, aS a rule, for it is to those who bravely and quietly bear theirtroubles that true sympathy goes out unasked and overwhelming in itssilently healing power:The love that is suddenly bereft of the object of its devotion some­times congeals in the heart and bearsno more fruit. It becomes triinsmo-grified into self-pity that feeds onthe love itself. In others love wells up as though in an effort again tocapture the lost one, and in so doing, pours itself and its benedict­ion on all who likewise suffer. It isglorified and transmuted into that love that has been God’s gift to mansince the [beginning. It knows no boundaries, of caste or colour. Ittakes in all who would shelter underits bcncficient wing. And that* is why sorrow is sentperhaps. Not that one might close the heart but that it might be open­ed to receive and to give; that its love, centred and Email, might growbeyond the bounds of the’dose and the^dear,’ to encompass humanity The old-fashioned fanner : washard to convince. “No,” declared he.i’ll have no such contraption in myhouse. Planners are bad things.” “Oh. but father, protested hisdaughter, “this is an upright piano." Henry Odell, widely known resi­dent of West Oxford Township,passed away at Alexandra Hospital,on Wednesday evening last, afteran Hlneae of three weeks’ duration. Mr. Odell, who was in his 84thyear, was born at Marston Shelton,Bedfordshire, England.
