However, asnice as things do go, we will all beglad when the war is over and wecan all get home.I have been up to Scotland twiceon my leaves, visiting .with my relatives and had a grand time both times.

I am notfar from London and it is nice fogo there for a day and visit a fewof the famous places. I have been toWestminster Abbey, St. Paul'sCathedra!;. Tower of London, Lon don Bridge and not forgetting BigBen and the Parliament Buildings.I was out to visit Windsor Castle and spent a lovely day lookingaround.At the present time I am station ed in a very lovely old house whichthey claim to be around five hundred years old and i n places it looks like it, We have two very nicelittle ponds around the side of thehouse, where there are' four bigwhite swans swimming around in it,so we pass some of our opart timewatching them.Speaking of spare time, mine is almost up, so I had better come toa close. Hoping that this finds everything going along well in .

Some of the hands shownperformed useful tasks in the homeprior to the war, but were notengaged in what the economists term“gainful occupation.” The sturdier hands are those of men who weremachinists in the shops of the National System before the war and whowere taken over as instructors in thewar plant. In two years they havetrained hundreds of men and womento operate intricate machinery.Caught by the camera and shownabove in the top row of pictures thework being done by these hands fromleft to right is as follows:Extreme left, fitting the safetycatch in the breech mechanism.Second from left, gauging the gunchamber. The deviation allowed inthis work, the “tolerance,” as themachinists say, is limited to two ten-thousands of an inch, which is splithair precision.In the centre picture the worker is removing a broach, one of a set of 40 required for rifling a barrel. Eachsuccessive broach removes one one- thousand of an inch of steel until thedesired calibre is attained.Right of centre is pictured thepreliminary process in laying out thebridge ring. The worker is using aVernier height gauge and his movements require skill and the cxerciiwof absolute precision in measurements.At the extreme right a womanworker is hand-finishing on thebreech block of a naval gun. Evenwith hundreds of machines in usethere are various operations whichrequire the use of hand tools.In the lower panel at the extremeleft the worker is gauging the bore of abarrel during honing operations. This is part of the rifling of the barrel bywhich each broach removes a minutelayer of steel from the interior. Uponthe skill and care employed during this work depends the range and accuracy of the naval gun when in action.The second picture from the left is part of a milling operation. Theworker is using a wrench to tightena nut on the trigger sear.Continuous checking is necessary during all stages of the manufactureof naval guns. Gauges have markingsaofino as to be beyond the range of normal vision. Here an inspector is using a magnifying lense to note the exactreading on the Vernier Caliber gauge.All steel brought into NationalMunitions plant is tested for quality. At the extreme right, a Governmentinspector is looking through a microscope, part of a Vickers testingmachine by which a diamond makes an indentation in the steel to recordits hardness, the result being indicatedon a dial and noted by this method.

Dr. Brown illustrates his conten tion by calling attention to thehealth problems facing the Cana dian people as a whole. The means ,of preventing diseases, he says,have largely been discovered by sciencfe. If all children, for example,were given toxoid, diphtheria would disappear from Canada. If all waternnd milk supplies were pure, ty phoid fever would vanish. The sameis true of other diseases. But these diseases continue to take their toll.Pasteurization of milk, he .points, out, is not applied all over thecountry. In spite of the proven nec essity of the modern health department with a full-time medical offi cer of health, public health nurses,'etc., most of the country is without i(full-time health services. There are, | states Dr. Brown, only fourteen full-1 time medical officers of health inOntario. Such defects’point to the need for a widespread educationalprogram among the public, he says,and since the government over aperiod of many years has done little about it, the responsibility falls onthe Voluntary organization. Three is, a need, says Dr. Brown,for publicity regarding what the voluntary- organizations are doingtoday, 'as,some people arc scepticalas to their worth. Among the vol untary health societies he names theVictorian Order of Nurses, the Can adian Tuberculosis Association, theCanadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene and the CanadianPublic Health Association. All these', he points out, are doing a pioneerwork without waiting for govern ments to acLThe Health League ofCanada, he says, supplies the need for a national organization whichcan carry on an educational 'pro gram covering the whole field ofhealth. The League has, he states, beenresponsible for the establishment and maintenance of the Canadian-Venereal Disease program, as well as being active in the field of nutrition, pasteurization of milk, indus trial health^and diphtheria. Byradio program ?and press releases it has exercised a continuous effect onpublic opinion. .

How to Maintain The Lawn in^ Spring The spring maintenance of lawnsshould start as soon as the snowmelts and the soil becomes suffi ciently dry to permit work, statesJ. H. Boyce, Forage Plants Divis ion, Central Experimental Farm,Ottawa. The flrst operation is torake the lawn to remove the winter’s accumulation of twigs, leaves andother debris. Any perennial weeds that can be detected should be pulled or cut out at this time. The soil on thin and bare areas should bethoroughly raked in order to prepare a seed bed. These areas should then be seeded with an adaptedseeds mixture at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet according to the thinness of the turf.After the seed has been uniformly scattered over the area, it may becovered by raking or by the apnlica-tion of a thin layer of screened-top- soil, after which the seeded areasshould be rolled. Except for the rolling after seeding. only one rolling is necessary each year, and then only in districtswhere frost has caused heaving. Therolling should be done after the, frost is out of the ground and before the soil becomes too dry. Heavy soils should never be rolledwhen very wet. Proper fertilation is a very important part of the lawn maintenance program, the chief demand of t\e grass being for nitrogen. Poorturf requires the application of phosphorus and sometimes potash nswell ns nitrogen. A recent order ofrhe Wartime Prices and Trade Board prohibits the sale of fertilizers containing chemical nitrogen for use on lawns. There is no restrictionon the use of organic fertilizers as yet. and these may be used on lawnswith satisfactory results. The indiscriminate use of fertilizers on turf is not recommended, because asmuch as possible of the available fertilizer should be reserved for'food production. If a lawn is in a vigorous, healthy condition fertilization may be greatly reduced or eliminated without injuring it seriously. Lawn owners who do not object towhite clover may encourage it by the application of phosphoric nndpotassic fertilizers, and in some cases lime. A high proportion ofclover in the lawn will reduce the amount of nitrogen that it is necessary to apply in order to maintain healthy grass. The best time to apply fertilizer in the spring is just •before the grass starts its newgrowth. Lawn mowers should be repairedand sharpened well in advance of the growing season. Mowing shouldstart early and at no time should a long, heavy growth of grass be. permitted. Cutting back such a growth always gives the grass a severe setback. The grass should never be cut to a height of lest-than one inch. Aheight of 1 *4 to 2 inches is much to be preferred •particularly duringthe warmer months. Additional information on theconstruction and care of lawns may be secured from the Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

Canning Is a “Must” In 1943 This third year of war means, asmany Canadian housewives alreadyknow, shortages in certain groups offood commodities which we have al ways been accustomed to purchasewithout any difficulty. In fact, many of us have taken it for granted thatsupplies of these goods would al ways be available. In doing so, wehave not taken into consideration the practical and intensely realisticreasons why we must do without.Metal, as we all know, is an essential material in the. successfulcarrying on of a modern war. The millions of cans of prepared foodsof various kinds which we have so casually picked off the shelves ofour local groceterias have repre sented tons of precious tin which isneeded in the war effort. Thereforethe manufacture of canned goods must be drastically curtailed. "Whatis the answer?" asks the Canadian housewife. Simply this:She must augment the steadily dwindling supplies of canned fruitsstill obtainable from her grocer with fruit canned by herself from thisseason’s crop. Many have done this for years, but this year it will benecessary to decide in advance how much fruit to can in order that thesugar might be obtained for the purpose. The Dominion Governmenturges Canadian housewives to can fruit this year instead of making itinto jam or jelly, as the latter re quires more sugar to make. Expertsstate that three pounds of sugar will make six quarts of cannedfruits, whereas three pounds of su gar will make only two quarts ofjam or jelly. More food value is also conserved when the fruit is canned.Application for sugar for canning purposes is necessary in order thatthe Sugar Administration o f the Wartime Prices and Trade* Boardcan provide the sugar needed. The “application for canning sugar"is to be found in the new rationbook. The form must be filled in and returned to the nearest local Ration Board before April 15th.Write the Health League of Can ada, 111 Avenue Road, Toronto, foryour free copy of our authoritativevitamin chart.

In sistence of using good clean seedand the rotation of plantings apply with equal force to such a garden asto the farm. It pay? to get the best seed possible, and the saving of afew cents in the purchase of seed is not profitable as a rule. Oneounce of celery seed may'produce 2,000 plants or more; one ounce ofton^.to ses-d, 1,500 to 2,000 plants; and.’alj ounce of cabbage or cauliflower seed, 1,500 plants or more. Just.as with farm crops, veget ables in the home garden should notbe grown on the same plot of ground year after year. Onions maybe continued on the same soil for several yean, anc( so may vinecrops. With cabbages and turnips, however rotation is particularly necessary to keep club-root disease in check. It is a good plan tb place thevine crops in the centre", and place the other vegetables on each side.Generally, asparagus and rhubarband other perennial vegetables areplanted at the edge of the garden,allowing sufficient room for cultivation between the edge and theplants. h Encourage Alfalfa Meal Production As a means of encouraging maximum production with available machinery, alfalfa meal processorswill be paid a subsidy of $3 per ton, states the Dominion Department ofAgriculture. The subsidy will be paid on meal ground and ready foruse. The ceiling prices of alfalfa are to be maintained. This meansthat, although the processors of alfalfa meal will be encouraged bythe payment of the subsidy to pro duce more, feeders will not have topay relatively more for alfalfa meal in mixed feeds. As a result of thesubsidy, it is hoped to bring into production a number of mills whichrecently have not been operating be cause of somewhat unattractive returns. ) t How Time I* Lost “Industrial accidents are involv ing ten times us many lost days asare strikes," says a memorandum issued by the Industrial AccidentPrevention Associations. The memorandum states that an official of the Department of Labor,Ottawa, estimates that the total number of man days lost throughstrikes in Canada in'1042 was less than 600,000, while the time lost inindustrial accidents was 5,000,000 man day?. Reports from the directorof the Ontario Division of IndustrialHygiene indicate that lost time in industry due to sickness of all kindsis ten times as great as the loss dueto accidents.

How Bumper Crop Potatoes Obtained Ideal seed potatoes may be de fined ns potatoes that are of goodtype and pure to variety, produced from healthy, vigorous, heavy yield ing plants grown under favourableclimatic conditions, harvested some what immature, reasonably uniformin size and shape, firm and sound, and with the first sprouts beginningto develop at planting time. Seed of thia character, says Mr. John Tuck er, Manager, Seed Potato Section,S|>ecial Products Board, is now ob tainable in quantity from growerswho have specialized in the product ion of certified seed.In every province provision has been made for the inspection and certification of potatoes which willqualify to the rigid requirements of good seed. The service is providedfree of charge to seed growers to encourage seed production sufficient for prospective demands. It is intended as an laid to table potato growers, to couiger diseases whichare carried over in the seed princi pally, and to stimulate productionof good yields of high quality table potatoes at reasonable cost. The importance of using goodseed cannot be over-emphasised. The practice of using what is leftover from a crop after disposing of the best of it is decidedly not a goodpractice. Maximum yields of high quality potatoes are never obtainedfrom inferior seed, nature does notwork that way. Certified seed necessarily commands a reasonable premium over table potatoes but is worth it. Theextra cost is small for the quantity needed for planting, compared withthe increased yields and better quality which may be expected from theuse of good seed and the crop insurance it affords. When changing seed change tosomething better, advises Mr. Tucker. Plant only certified seed identi fied as such by the official tag. Noother potatoes should be accepted bar r ist er / as seed. All seed and feed storescan obtain supplies of certified seed.Lists of carlot growers and dealers are suplied on request by the PlantProtection Division, Dominion De partment of Agriculture, Ottawa.

For centuries the nomadic tribes of Asia andAfrica made different kinds ofcheese but it was an enterprising English farmer in the village ofCheddar, near Bristol, who system atized the former crude method ofprocessing.

There’s high nutrition value, too, in cheese: it is made from milk—that wonderfulfood. A small quantity (K lb.) supplies 1-4 of the calories qeededper day by the average adult. It’s a grand meat substitute and, being acooked product, it requires only a NUTRI-THRIFT MENU Breakfast—Orange juice, cookedcereal with wheat germ and milk, French toast, coffee..Dinner—Potatoes (to be mashed) and steamed ciscoes—on one element—coddled apples and tomatoes (heated)—on one element.Supper—Cheese ring with cream ed peas, baked potatoes, cottagepudding (electric oven).

At first it was thoughtthat ordinary transport for theportable equipment would be allthat was needed, but it was soonrealized that there must be pro vided also a place in which to work—a dental operating room, a labor atory and even an X-ray room.Mobile Dental Clinic, which is simply a standard Army truck witha special body, provides electric power, running water, light, heatand ventilation. Because the regular dental equipment is of a portabletype, it is not necessary to provide any other special interior fittings.Electric power is produced by a gasoline driven generator. The current delivered is 110 volt-60 cycle A.C. so that standard Canadian dental equipment can be used, regard less of the electrical supply of thecountry or district in which the clinic is operating.Equipment is carried in several trunks. One carries hand instruments and dental materials, the sec- onl trunk carrying a dental chair,dental engine table, stove, two gasoline stoves and a sterilizer. Two other trunks carry the technician’s equipment-vulcanizer, cast ing machine, gasoline stoves withspecial built-in blow-pipe, all the necessary equipment and suppliesof a modern well-equipped dental laboratory, and, finally, an X-raymachine with all necessary supplies. This equipment (provides facilities for the performance of dental operation—cleaning teeth, filling, extraction or even the construction of partial or complete dentures.During World War 1, there wereat all times a large number of sol diers who were dental casualties orwho were detached from their units waiting dental treatment, and theeffective fighting strength of the Army as reduced to that extent.The use of the Mobile Dental Clinics eliminates both these conditions.

In sistence of using good clean seed and the rotation of plantiqgs applywith equal force to such a garden as to the farm. It pays to get the bestseed possible, and the saving of a few cents in the purchase of seedis not profitable ns a rule. One ounce of celery seed may produce2,000 plants or more; one ounce of tomato sod, 1,500 to 2,000 plants;and an ounce of cabbage or cauli flower toed, 1,500 plants or more.Just usSwith farm crops, veget ables in’ the home garden should notbe grown > on the same plot of ground year after year. Onions maybe continued on the same soil for1 several years, and so may vinecrops. With cabbages and turnips, however rotation is particularly necessary, to keep club-root disease incheck. It is a good plan to place thevine crops in the centre, and placethe other vegetables on each side.Generally, asparagus and rhubarband other perennial vegetables are planted at the edge of the garden,allowing sufficient room for culti vation between the edge and theplants APRIL 1,1943Mt Elgin Farm Forum Held Final Meeting The season’s final meeting of theFarm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stoakley,on Mondays evening, with an attendance of 20, After listening to thebroadcast, “Farming to Feed the World," the group was divided into3 groups with Miss Ariel Stoakley,Billy., and Reuben Clark as secretaries. The questions were discussed in the usual way and it was agreedthat the present war <was not the result of the failure to feed the people of the wortd, but greed for moreterritory and supremacy. It was alsopointed out that after a lastingpeace is secured, there should be an international organization * toarrange for the feeding of thepeople in an organized way.The comments on the Farm For um were that all had spent manyprofitable and enjoyable times together and hope to carry on again next fall. Mr. Jas. Hurd had chargeof a geographical contest and Mias Bertha Gilbert and Mre. CharlieSmith won the prizes.Maple syrup and other refresh ments were enjoyed as a conclusionto the pleasnt evening and a vote ofthanks was tendered to Mr. andMrs. Stoakley for their hospitality.

The funeral was held on Mondayin St. Marys. Canning Is a “Must” In 1943 This third year of war means, as many Canadian housewives alreadyknow, shortages in certain groups of food commodities which we have al ways been accustomed to purchasewithout any difficulty. In fact, many of us have taken it for granted thatsupplies of these goods would al ways be available. In doing so, wehave not taken into considerationthe practical and intensely realisticreasons why we must do without.Metal, as we all know, is an es sential material in the successfulcarrying on of a modern war. The millions of cans of prepared foodsof various kinds which we have so casually picked off the shelves ofour local groceterias have represented tons of precious tin which is needed in the war effort. Thereforethe manufacture of canned goods must be drastically curtailed. “Whatis the answer?” asks the Canadian housewife. Simply this:She must augment the steadily dwindling supplies of canned fruitsstill obtainable from her grocer with fruit canned by herself from thisseason’s crop. Many have done thisfor years, but this year it will be necessary to decide in advance how much fruit to can in order that thesugar might be obtained for the purpose. The Dominion Governmenturges Canadian housewives to can fruit this year instead of making itinto jam or jelly, as the latter re quires more sugar to make. Expertsstate that three pounds of sugar will make six quarts of cannedfruits, whereas three pounds of su gar will make only two quarts ofjam or jelly. More food value is also conserved when the fruit is canned.Application for sugar for canning purposes is necessary in order thatthe Sugar Administration o f the Wartime Prices and Trade* Boardcan provide the sugar needed. The “application for canning sugar"is to be found in the new ration book. The form must be filled inand returned to the nearest local Ration Board before April 15th.Write the Health League of Can ada, 111 Avenue Road, Toronto, foryour free copy of our authoritative vitamin chart. Encourage Alfalfa Meal Production As a means of encouraging max imum production with availablemachinery, alfalfa meal processors will be paid a subsidy of $3 per ton,states the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The subsidy will bepaid on meal ground and ready for use. The ceiling prices of alfalfaare to be maintained. This means that, although _ the processors ofalfalfa meal will bo encouraged bythe payment of the subsidy to produce more, feeders will not have to pay relatively more for alfalfa mealin mixed feeds. As a result of the subsidy, it is hoped to bring into production a number of mills whichrecently have not been operating be cause of somewhat unattractive returns. How Time Is Lost “Industrial accidents arc involving’ten times as many lost days as are strikes," says a memorandumissued by the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations.The memorandum states that an official of the Department of Labor,Ottawa, estimates that the total number of man days lost throughstrikes in Canada in 1942 was less than 500,000, while the time lost inindustrial accidents .was 5,000,000 nian days. Reports from th© directorof the Ontario Division of Industrial Hygiene indicate that lost time inindustry due to sickness of all kinds is ten times as great as the loss duoto accidents. Mrs. Smith—“Is Mrs. Moore an active member of your sewing party?" Mrs. Jones—“iNo, she j usts sits there sewing all the time and hardly ever says ■ word.’’ How Bumper Crop Potatoes Obtained Ideal seed potatoes may be de fined ns potatoes that are of goodtype and pure to variety, produced from healthy, vigorous, heavy yielding plants grown under favourable climatic conditions, harvested somewhat immature, reasonably uniform in size and shape, firm and sound, and with the first sprouts beginningto develop nt planting time. Seed of this character, say’s Mr. John Tucker, Manager, Seed Potato Section, Special Products Board, is now obtainable in quantity from growers who have specialized in the product ion of certified seed.In every province provision has been made for the inspection andcertification of potatoes which will qualify to the rigid requirements ofgood seed. The service is providedfree of charge to seed growers to encourage seed production sufficient for prospective demands. It is intended as an aid to table potatogrowers, to counter diseases which are carried over in the seed princi pally, and to stimulate productionof good yields of high quality table potatoes at reasonable cost.The importance of using good seed cannot be over-emphasi’-ed. The practice of using what is leftover from a crop after disposing of the best of it is decidedly not a goodpractice. Maximum yields of high quality potatoes are never obtainedfrom inferior seed, nature does notwork that way. Certified seed necessarily commands a reasonable premium over table potatoes but is worth it. Theextra cost is small for the quantity needed for planting, compared withthe increased yields and better quaUity which may be expected from the’use of good seed and the crop insurance it affords. When changing seed change tosomething better, advises Mr. Tucker. Plant only certified seed identi fied as such by the official tag. Noother potatoes should be accepted BARRISTER^ 7 PATERSON, START and MAR- SHALL, Barristers and Solidtore, Royal Bank Building, Ingersoll PHYSICIANS H. G. FURLONG, M.D., C.M. PHYSICIAiN and Surgeon.
