S. A., $2.00 FAMOUS PIONEER C.P.R. HOLSTEIN HERD SOLD AT MARKHAM SALE Twenty-Jive of the 141 animals sold at the dispersal sale of the famous C.P.R. Holstein herd from Strathmore, Alta., which was auc­ tioned off at Markham, Ont., on April 12 and 13 came to Oxford County. Twenty-two of these were pur­ chased by A. J. Hosack, Woodstock, who paid an average price of $321.75. His purchase consisted largely of heifer calves and yearl­ ings, the highest price paid being $675 for a yearling heifer from a dam with a production of 937 lb. butterfat in a year and sired by Colony Vale Romeo Sir Heilo, fam­ ous for his prize winning prog­ eny, who himself sold for $82o. Smith Haven Farms, Bright, took three head, paying $950, for a very typey yearling heifer from the Can­ adian Champion four year old pro­ ducer with 1114 lb. fat from 30533 lb. milk in a year. She is sired by a prize winning son of a 1,000 lb. show cow. They also secured at $400 a full sister to the All-Canad- ian Senior Yearling heifer for 1942, and at $350 an eleven months" old daughter of a 627 lb. cow. A'total of $60,700 was realized at the two-day dispersal sale of this noted herd, the 135 animals going under the auctioneer’s hammer bringing an average of $450 each. Seven sold for $1000 or better. The top price of the sale was $1575 paid on the opening day by Arm­ strong Bros., Brampton, for Strath­ more Lenore Heilo, a richly-bred three-year-old heifer. The second largest oprice and the top for the second day was $1275 paid for Strathmore Hcila Nonpareil, who will make the long trip back ot Al­ berta, having been purchased by Hays & Co., LYL, Calgary. J. A. Sutten, Vasalia, Calif., the biggest buyer of the sale, paid an average of $469 for the 48 head which he secured. The dispersal of this great herd rings down the curtain on one of the phases, of the agricultural de-* velopment of Western Canada. In 1910 dairying was almost unknown oi the prairies and this was founded at Strathmore to provide leadership and seed stock for the Western far­ mer. Today dairying has become a firmly-established, integral part of the prairies farm scene. Its work done, this demonstration herd has now passed into other hands.

Schools to Hold Quiz Program Pupils of the Ingersoll Schools are busy preparing for their part in th Fourth Victory Loan Cam­ paign. In the previous Loan Cam­ paigns, the schools have provided a Victory Loan Concert. In this cam­ paign the National War Finance Committee has decided to have the pupils in the schools across Canada, hold quiz programs. The pupils are provided with booklets containing suitable “quiz” questions in connection wiht Canada and the Victory Loan Campaign. In preparing the answers for these questions, it is felt that much valu­ able information will be gained by the pupils as well as their parents. In the local schools, contests will be held in the various grades and winners will be announced next week. A champion of the school will also be chosen from Grades 7 and 8. It is planned that this winner will compete in a County Contest, where winners will be chosen to compete in a Provincial Contest.

A letter was also read from Captain G. W. Lockhart, In which he ex­ pressed his thanks for the pen and pencil set which he had received. The reports of the various com­ mittees had to do with the payment of accounts and the business arising from the . communications which were related to their particular committee. $5,000 was placed to the credit of the Board of Education and $500 to the credit of the Library Board. No. 119 Branch of the Can­ adian IrCgion was granted a rebate on rental of the town hall for April 1st and the 15th, on which nights dances were hold to raise money for their memorial fund. The Wom­ en's Auxiliary to the Alexandra Hos­ pital Trust were granted permission to have Saturday, June 19th, a rose tag day. On motion of Councillors T. Mor­ rison and H. Bower, the council wished to go on record as being op­ posed to Bill 42, which has now passed the first reading of the leg­ islative assembly, being an act for the control of waters of the Thames river, but does not specify to what extent the cost of same is to be shared by the effected municipali­ ties. Councillor W. C. Watson said that at the London meeting held to discuss this problem, he understood that the provincial and dominion government would share the cost of the project Councillor J. Weir, who alto attended the meeting in Lon­ don, said he had understood that the government was to assume part of the cost of this project, and wished to concur with this motion. Councillor S. J. Smith also con­ curred with this motion. The idea of the project was to provide a post­ war' employment scheme. He consid­ ered the present bill to be unjust in that it appointed a commission, which entailed extra expenses and salaries which would have to be paid by' the municipalities. Councillor T. (Morrison stated that at the London meeting, the plan was in its preliminary stages and all delegates were adherents that some­ thing was to be done about flood control. Then the drawing up of the bill is taken out of our hands and its terms are not to our liking. “We .have been ignored in the formulat­ ing of this bill, and we oppose' it on behalf of the people of the Town of Ingersoll," said Councillor Morrison. Councillor H. Bower also staled that the delegates had agreed it to be a post war project which would provide employment during the ad­ justment period and ns such would entail a large amount of capital. He felt it was the duty of the Dominion and Provincial (Governments to bring back prosperity at this period. Municipalities should also do their shnrq, in this cause and they in turn would benefit by such projects as this. Mayor Daniel said that he felt that as far as the government was to go, was to make a survey of the project and then let those interest­ ed know what the details were. This had not 'been done in this case. Commenting on the communica­ tion from Hon. P. M. Dewan, in which he stated he had interviewed the minister of highways, Mr. Mc- Qucstcn, the Acting Deputy Minis­ ter, and thei Chief Engineer who stated that no reimbursement for highway repairs was to be made to municipalities and no remunerations for separated towns, Councillor Morrison felt that the government was taking undue advantage of position and that the minister of highways ,wps discriminating against the town which has 2 ’£ miles of .high­ ways through its limits. The speaker felt that the council should keep on trying to get some assistance for re­ pairs or else leave the roads in their present condition. . Councillor Bower stated that if lwe cannot get help because we are (Continued on page 5) Mrs. R.

A lovely vocal duet by Miss Mil­ dred Hunsberger and Miss Mabel Clark, .with Mrs. Ewart Bartley as accompanist, was much enjoyed.

W. Can*, Mrs. K. Bonesteel, Mrs. B. Duncan and Miss Mildred Hunsber­ ger. During the social period an Afri­ can song was learned by the mem­ bers.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1943 THURSDAY, APRIL 22nd, 1943 Our Merchant Seamen— “When Can Their Glory Fade?” Canada has many and is building more ten thousand ton cargo ves­ sels, according to statements made by the Honourable Angus L. Mac­ donald, Minister of Defence. Naval Affairs Branch. It takes a lot of experienced mer­ chant seamen to work a ten thous­ and ton vessel, but then. Canada has a good many thousands of ex­ perienced merchant seamen, many hundreds of whom went to sea from .this inland province. Some idea of what help we are giving our fighters, when we semi one ten thousand ton cargo vessel full of food, ammunition and equip­ ment to them, was recently given by government officials. One such vessel can carry two complete bombers and enough alum­ inum to build 640 fighters; also 1900 tons of bombs; and enough motorized equipment to fully equip an infantry battalion at full strength: and 2850 tons of food and 2150 tons of vital metals as well us enough lumber to build 90 four- roomed cottages or similar-sized huts or buildings. Canada's ship-building program calls for the building of 300 frcighu ■ers or cargo vessels. When we think of what help Io our fighters and defenders one crew of one merchant vessel is gfring. when it gets such a cargo through, it. makes us think what great value to our war effort*lies in the work_of our merchant seamen! Ami* sometimes it is with them as it was written of -the men of the Light Brigade *: . . theirs but to d<u and die”!It can -be said ‘of ouf merchant seamen living or dead—"When*can their glory fade?” The Navy League realizes the bravery of the merchant seamen and their importance labour cause by doing everything in its power for them, but the Navy League needs our assistance! The Family of Poulin From the Province of Quebec Tourist and Publicity Bureau— “The family of Poulin can claim to jsossess a miniature army of its own within the Canadian active services, according to a statement just re­ leased by Joseph-Philippe Poulin, secretary of * the permanent com­ mittee of Poulin families in Canada. No fewer than 185 members of this flar-flung French-Canadian clan are now serving in the Canadian army, marine and air force. Poulin army men Tiumber,l>3, aviators total nine and there ate three in the navy. All the Poulin tribe on active ser­ vice were listed as to name, number and place of origin, in a recent issue of Le Soleil, Quebec. Further evidence of French-Can- adians on active service is shown in the detailed lists of personnel lost, in the Canadian Merchant . Marine, issued the other day by Hon. J. E. Michaud, Minister of Transport. Of. the total number of those killed, wounded and missing in this hazard­ ous branch, of the fighting service, no less than 41‘4 were French-Can- adians. It is perhaps natural that Quebec, a maritime province with a marine traditon, should have lost three times as many sailors iis any' other province..” z . \ Under a new’ recruiting policy, men who, because of'certain types of employment, cannot attend mili­ tary camp, will nevertheless be giv­ en an opportunity of joining the Re­ serve Army, taking the same train­ ing as the others, except for the camp eriod. This plan will be wel­ comed by many men who will thus find it possible to don uniform in their local units.

HEALTH LEAGUE of j CANADA | ----------------------------------,— “Any Canadian who wants to be sure of his quota of vegetables in 1943 had better grow them him­ self.” That 'is the advice of George Rush, horticultural adviser of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. He counsels every Canadian citizen with any land nt all to use it for vegetable planting this year. .Many of the commercial gardeners have gone into war industry and some commercial gardens have gone out of business because experienced labor is not to be found. Addition­ ally, ilehydration plants are taking more and more of the vegetable crop for processing and shipment overseas. “Jniportntion of vegetables from the Upiijid StateS’ is steadily ' de­ creasing'in volume.” Mr. Rush said at a meeting of the Victory Garden Committee of the Health League of Canada, Toronto.' The League em­ phasizes the importance of Victory Gardens because vegetables are essential to good nutrition. “The price of imported veget­ ables in the wholesale market 'is going 'up almost daily and the re­ tailers are forced to follow suit to eke-out a slender profit,” Mr. Rush said. "There is every likelihood.” he continued, “of a definite vegetable* shortage in the United States as well as Canada, and therefore U.S. supplies for cxportvwillbe practically nil. 'By next fall, our usual heavy imports of vegetables from Arizona and Texas! will be a mere trickle, if we receive any at all.” , - - Victory Gardens are becoming a national project in the United States, according' to Mr. Rush. The average home'gardenerYcan grow qnougji produce to supply his family four months of the year, or through the winter months. Speaking of potato needs, he points out that even a small plot can make its contribution. Multiplied by thousands of Victory Gardens, it means a tremendous help tb the national war effort. The Health League of panada is advising all Victory Gardeners to communicate with the Federal or Provincial Departments of Agricul­ ture "for up-to-the-minute informa­ tion and literature. Conservation In The » >■ National Parks In time of war all efforts, are properly, concentrated upon victory. There is a possibility, however, that this concentration may lead to neg­ lect of other values. To save a house from burning it is not always necessary to destroy the lawns and gardens surrounding it The demands of war have enor­ mously accelerated exploitation of many of our natural resources. It is well that along with this acceler­ ation there should, whenever poss­ A British army pilot enters the cockpit of his glider at an R.A. F.

Initial flying training is carried out in light powered aircraft; pupils are transferred later to the “Hotspur” type of glider with airborne troops as passengers. ible, be the practice of conservation. Indeed, in view of the ruthless des­ truction of life and property now going on in the world, conservation takes on a new vital significance. Among the institutions in Canada which tend toward conservation none is more important than our national parks. The purpose behind national parks is conservation; con­ servation of scenery, of forasts. of wild life, of the wilderness as nature made it. The tourist indus­ try associated with the national parks, important as it is, is merely a by-product of this conservation. Canadians are fortunate in having one of the finest systems of national parks in the world. Although the system ha.d its birth in the Rockies it has been extended into the other provinces; Manitoba and Saskatche­ wan would be definitely poorer without their Riding Mountain and Prince Albert National Parks. These are areas which must compel every visitor to revise his conception of the prairie provinces. It is well that we have these places, reserved for all time for public use, where men, woman, and children can, if only for a few days each year, renew their acquaintance with Nature in her kindest and most beautiful moods, the existences of war, while they may interrupt the development and extension of our national parks,. should not be per­ mitted to interfere with their ne­ cessary maintenance and protection, so that they may be enjoyed by this generation and passed on to its suc­ cessors as part of the national heritage. Christian Family Week Christian Family Week will be observed throughout Canada May 2-9. This observance culminating in in Mother’s Day is sponsored, by the the Religious Education Council of Qintida, representing the Prot&L- ant denominations, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A. and the Student Christian Movement. It is being (promoted in various ways by local Churches, Denominational Boards, and by Provincial Council of Relig­ ious Education. In our democratic society the family remains the most cherished social unit. From the Christian point of view it is the chief centre of edu- : catioi^and character building. Christian Family Week will be observed in many homes by the re­ vival of -family worship in some form. It may icnlude also family entertainment and discussion of family problems. One well-kfiown Canadian family in England has a large round dining-room table with no one at the head or foot, but Mother ahd Father and, the eight children discuss everything from the Bible to the family budget. Mother's Day marks the close of Christian Family Week. On such a day all members of the family might well be found in Church, not only honouring Mother, but recognizing Christian home for the sake of all its values in both our religious and national' life.

WITH THE R.C.A.F.— By —Squadron Leader T. C. McCall,R.C.A.F. Public Relations Officer "You are the best-trained airmen in the world. The record proves it. When you get overseas you will be flying the best aircraft. There can be only one answer. You’re bound to win." Those were the final words spoken to his brother arimen of the R.C. A.F. by Flying Officer George Beur- ling, D.S.O., D.F.C., tD.F.M. and Bar at his last appearance in Canada, be fore leaving for overseas. They were spoken in a huge recreation hall at an embarkation depot on Canada's east coast in the presence of nearly 1,000 aircreiv trainees waiting to cross the ocean to fly against the enemy. The ace of Malta spoke with con- vi ction. He had just wound up a tour of Royal Canadian Air Force units across Canada. He saw fledg­ ling pilots earning their wings on the prairies. He saw air gunners blast ing at drogues high over Lake On tario. He watched fighter pilots “scramble” after an imaginary alert at a Pacific base. In snowbound nor­ thern Quebec he watched other fighter pilots of the R.C.A.F. per­ form the same fantastic gyrations he himself employed while knocking down twenty-odd Hun plants over Malta. The conlusions he reached were his own. George Beurling talks the language of flyers. As he admitted in several-score appearances before lads training in Canada, he prefers to fly much more than to talk about it. But he enjoyed his trip—every minute of it, he said, in spite of his distaste at feeling that he was on exhibition—because it allowed him to meet hundreds of lads like him­ self with the same interests and with the same anibitonsL You can't travel and live with this 21-year-old, as the writer did, for five weeks without being im­ pressed by the singleness of purpose H O L D H IG H TH E T O R C H O F F R E E D O M Nothing short of victory over the powers of aggression will ensure a just and peaceful order after the war. There can be no compromise with international bandits. In that victory all of us wish to share. Victory’s price is high.

If there were any real heroes in Malta, they were the groundcrew.” Flying Officer Beurling perform­ ed a magnificent service when he undertook to give Canadian trainees the “gen" on what a fighter pilot is likely to encounter overseas. With complete modesty he told, and re­ told, stories of aerial warfare over the most-bombed island in the world. He told, as well, of his mis­ takes—of the time he mistook a Messerschmidt for a Spitfire and was nearly blown to atoms for his error, and of the time he had to bail out, because, he said, “I wasn’t looking” when another Me. Ifsneaked up on his tail.‘•Those are mistakes you c flafford to make; not even once,’*told his listeners. “I was lucky toget out of them with a whole skin. Maybe you won’t be so lucky, so just don’t make them . You won’t either, if you stick to your training here, pay attention to what your in­ structors tell you and take care of yourself physically. That’s the gist of what George Beurling had to tel) the lads at schools across Canada Now he has gone back to the war. Soon he hopes to be in the cockpit of a Spitfire, blasting the Axis out of the sky. Or the R.A.F. may re­ tain him in Great Britain for a time to assist in training. Wherever his duties Lake him, you can depend upon George Beurling making a good job of it. An aged Nego saw an extraor­ dinary-looking instrument in an optician's show. He gazed in open- mouthed wonder, and turning to the optician, inquired: “What is it, boss?” “That,” replied the optician, "is an ophthalmometer.”“Sho’,” muttered the other, his eyes still fastened on the curious-looking thing as he backed out, “dat's what I was afeared it was!” Confederation.LlC A ssocia tion. H. GRANT SMALL, Representative, INGERSOLL THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1943 Page 3Of Interest to Women Men Off to War, Girls Become Punchers New Clothes From Old Look over your last summer’s wardrobe of cotton or linen dresses now. Toss them all into a batch of rich suds that eat the winter’s dirt away and leave the colours bright and gay. Then regard them care­ fully. If some of them are really ancient you might combine two to make a neat overall apron for housework. An old linen dress might cut up successfully into a blouse or a dickey to go with your Spring suit, a little girl’s' frock, one or more cushion covers, bands and ruffles for your dressing table, etc., or matching accessories (a pair of of gloves and a summer slipcover for an envelope bag.) Any odd pieces should be considered for col­ lars and cuffs to brighten old dark frocks.• 9 • Oilcloth Decoration The War-time Cinderella of this war is definitely oilcloth. It is emer­ ging from the kitchen to decorate the rest of the house in colorful in­ expensive patterns with a washable finish that can be swished over every once in a while with a soft cloth dipped in all-pure, “extra- soapy" suds and remain sparkling and new-looking. Decorative possi­ bilities are limitless—matching cur­ tains, door panels, wall designs, run­ ners for bookcases and table mats. If you want a new bedside tabic, can make one from a wooden box. The rough surface of the top can be covered with a plain oilcloth, while the bottom section can be hid­ den with a gathered skirt in a chintz pattern. Because of the generous oilcloth width, you can have a really full skirt with only one yard. To complete the ensemble, cover the bedside lampshade in the same chintz oilcloth or line the shelves of a hanging bookcase with it, Oil­ cloth can also be used to make cur­ tains for the nursery, play pen covers, table covers for a playroom, or you can cover the top of a laun­ dry hamper with it and make frames for tiny pictures to brighten a blank wall space. And when the oilcloth i becomes worn it can be used for wrapping valuable articles in the attic. It’s dustproof and moisture proof. Selecting Dre»» Fabric If, in line with the Government’s conservation program, you are your own dressmaker these days, before you buy any fabric, pay special at­ tention to it in relation to your fig­ ure. For example, stiff materials like taffeta or moire that stand out from the body, are attractive on thin wo­ men, but horrible on stout ones. Stout women should wear fabrics that cling to the body in the fitted sections of the garment and hang from there in straight lines. Avoid taffeta slips too as they tend to make a dress stand tent-like away from the body. Instead, choose crepe or satin slips. The surface finish of the fabric is likewise im­ portant. Shiny materials, such as satin, reflect light on the fat woman as well as the thin one and have a tendency to make a big woman look bigger and a thin woman thin­ ner. Satin is best suited to the av­ erage figure. Very stout women and very small ones shoud choose dull- finished fabrics such as crepes.. Con­ sider too, the weight of the mater­ ial. Heavy fabrics like velvet, vel­ veteen, shapgy woollens, thick tweeds and corduroy flatter the thin figure. On stout figures they give an impression of overwhelming sol­ idity. And last but not least in im­ portance, look primarily for fabric that is washable and can be dipped regularly in gentle suds that are “safe for ainything safe in water alone.*’ In this way you’ll be mak­ ing sure that the dress will be wearable as long as your figure stays the same. • • • Mending Gloves How are your gloves standing up under the strain of busy hands these days? Do you find yourself doing a bit of mending bn the seams oc­ casionally? Well, here’s the best ■way to do it. First, make blanket stiches along the edges of the rip­ ped seam to strengthen it. Then draw the edges together by over­ handing through the blanket stit­ ches. Start without a knot but hold thread down along edge of seam as you overhand. When the end of the ripped seam is reached, take two stichcs back to make the end of the sewing strong enough to hold. Carry the thread end to the inside of the glove finjrcr and clip it off. Be sure •all thread ends are hidden inside the glove. To- have as few seam rjps as possible always remember when you dip them in gentle, fine fabric suds, to wash heavy leather and fabric gloves on the hands, doeskin and chamois gloves off the hands. T hese punchers arc in a tele­graph office and not on thewestern plains, as the name mightsuggest. Girls arenow being trainedto become operators of automatictransmitters, but as the purpose ofthe machine is to perforate, or to‘'punch" symbols through a papertape, the term “puncher" is nowgenerally applied to all who workon these keyboards. Owing to thevery large number of enlistmentsof men operators, the CanadianNational Telegraphs are calling onwomen to replace men now in thearmed forces. To train these opera­tors, schools have been establishedthroughout Canada. The course continues for twelveweeks after which those who havebecome proficient in the use of theperforator machine are transferredto one of the operating rooms of the Canadian National Telegraphswhere they begin to handle ‘‘live"traffic under the supervision of asenior operator.These girls are efficient touchtypists, the keyboard they operatebeing similar to that of the officetypewriter. The real test. for. thetyro "puncher" is to maintain atyping speed of fifty words a min­ute during a ten-minute period.The "punch” is more than sym­bolic because, the perforatingmachines require a heavier touchthan is necessary for a typewriter.The upper photograph shows:A C.N.T. instructress, who knowsall the "do and don’t's” of tele­graph language, at the blackboard,just like school, stressing the ele-mentals of a telegraph message.Below, a pupil "puncher" practic­ing at the keyboard of a perforator tained the third concession groupMr. Grant Gill of London, spentto a sugar party.the week-end with his parents, Mr.and Mrs. Cecil Gill.Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Elliott and Mary Linn of Beachville, were Sun­day visitors with Mr. and Mrs.Harry Ellery.Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Haycock and family visited on Sunday withMr. and Mrs. Frant Hooper, Salford.Mr. and Mrs. Uoyd Anscombe and family of Mount Elgin,, spentSunday with Mr. and Mrs. JohnAnscombe.Private Murray Bogart of the C.

When the Japanese occupied the East Indies in 1942 about nine- tenths of the world's natural rubber supply to the United Nations was cut off. With a full realization of what this situation meant, Science and the Experimental Farm Servi- ces of the Dominion Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the National Research Council began to give consideration to obtaining a Canadian supply of natural rubber, which it is necessary to use with synthetic rubber in order to make the latter usable in a practical way for certain essential uses. It was known that Russia had for some years been obtaining a supply of natural rubber from the Russian dandelion known as Kok-Saghyz. A limited supply of Koh-Saghyz seed was obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture in the spring of 1942 and planted in quarter-acre plots at 8 Dominion Experimental'Stations across Can-' ada. The plantings were made from the dual purpose of producing sled and rqots, as it is from the latter that natural rubber is obtained. The growth on the experimental plots was fairly encouraging last year, both for seed and roots. The import­ ant part of the plant for rubber is the rhizome or roqt whichjextends deeply into the soil. Data from six of the eight farms and stations where plantings were made have been assembled. The Central Experimental Farm plant­ ing returned on an acre basis at the rate of 8,100 pounds of roots, Kentville, N.S., 6,200 pounds, Ste. Clothilde, Que., 5,100 pbunds, Leth­ bridge, Alta., 4,600 pounds, Agas­ siz, B.C., 3.900 pounds, and Winni­ peg, 1,600 pounds, or an average of 5,100 pounds. These figures com- pare'-fayourably with production of Kok-iiffgtiyzr in Russia, where 4,000 to 5,00tf pounds of roots per acre are reported and with about 5,000 pounds’per acre where jt is has been planted i.n the,United States. There was considerable variation in the rubber content from the roots grown in Canada, varying from two to seven per cent. Some seed was harvested from the plots and with it and what has been obtained from Russia and the United States enough is available at present for planting 35 acres this spring at nine experimental farms and stations. Should this year’s plantings prove satisfactory it is hoped soon to have enough seed for commercial produc­ tion. ' Meanwhile intensive experiments and tests are being made in connec­ tion with cvqpy phase of production by. the DivisltJif of Botany, Science Service, wofking in co-operation with the Experimental Farms Ser­ vice, while the national Research Council has undertaked^the work in connection with the extraction of this natura) rubber. The co-opcr- ativo program includes such fea­ tures as the selection and anatomy of Kok-Saghyz, for it is a newcomei- to Canadian agriculture. The bio­ logical characteristics and cultural peculiarities of the plants have to be learned. Then there are cultural seed gathering and root harvesting methods to be tried and tested, gen­ etic studies made, breeding methods and physiological problems investi­ gated. It is a somewhat similar job to that which the different services of the Dominion Department of Agriculture have been doing in the past 50 years in connection with the now famous varieties of wheat and other grains, vegetable fruits, flow­ ers and other products. So far the limited extent to which the co-operative research work has been undertaken has oCer- cd a considerable measure of en­ couragement. Kok-Saghyz was first found in 1931 near Tien Shan, Kazahstan, near the border of China. Even with its comparatively low yield of six to 12 per eent raw rubber the cultivation of the plant is practic­ able, .because its growth appears to be dependable and it produces good seed. Its winter hardiness in differ­ ent parts of Canada has yet to be determined. In Russia it has been found that if the crop is harvested nt the end of the first year, plants yield an average of 4,500 to 5,500 pounds of cleaned roots per acre, which equals 150 to 200 pounds of crude rubber and 75 to 100 pounds of seed. If the crop is left for a second year, the average yield is 2,700 to 3,600 pounds of roots and from 100 to 150 pounds of seed per acre. In some cases the yield at the end of the first year is as high as 7,000 pounds of root, which of course gives an even larger amount of rubber. At the end of the second year, the percentage of crude rub­ ber is higher, but the yield of roots is less since the plants have been thinned out by the frosts of the pre­ ceding winter and other causes. Another related program of re­ search work is being carried out by the Science and Experimental Farm Services in co-operation with the National Reserach Council in con­ nection with milkweed. The leaves and stalks of this weed contain a percentage of crude rubber and the floss from the seed pods can be used for the same purposes as Kapok, an East Indies product. Ten acres of milkweed are to- be sown this year at the' Central Experimental Farm, principally for the production of seed and floss. Survey the Status Vitamin B Bread A conference of millers, bakers, nutritionists and Government offic­ ials was held in Ottawa recently for the purpose of reviewing the pres­ ent status of Vitamin B White Hour and Bread. The meeting was called in response to a request for tfdvice from the Department of Pensions and National Health as to whether or not it seemed advisable to amend the present definitions of these pro­ ducts. The discussion which took place showed a considerable lack of agree­ ment. On the one hand, the accept­ ability of the present specifications for "Vitamin B White Hour (Can- 7-ib. /HORNE’S CUSTARD j POWDER 2 jgJ PURITY • LACO MAZDA LAMPS ,S 4°'t “e.W 20e^h 1 S * fe!

These views have been presented in a man­ ner which warrants careful and ex­ pert consideration. On the other hand, there is evidence indicating beyond question that a grade of flour of the type which the Govern­ ment intended should be supplied to the baking industry and for home consumption is proving itself to be both satisfactory and more-or-less generally acceptable to those buy­ ing it. While this favourable evi­ dence may not be expressed collect­ ively as are the less favourable views, the fact remains that the favourabe evidence is coming from responsible and reliable sources and cannot be ignored. The conference did not consider it was called upon, neither was it qualified, to say whether or not synthetics should or should not be added to flour and bread. The big question still awaiting settlemcf it is where to set the stan­ dard of ash and vitamin Bl in Vit­ amin B White Flour. Most of the millers seemed to feel that they should not aim at a flour carrying more than .50 per cent ash with a vitamin content of about 200 inter­ national units per pound. Others thought the present standard of 400 international units was not too high, while others again thought it might be well to drop the absolute mini­ mum Bl content to about 350 inter­ national units with a maximum ash content of about .60 per cent.

London, Ont.—If all army boolsbeing worn in Canada can be made to last one more month the saving for a year would be about $750,000.00. Col. W. G. B. Dailley, chairman of Army Salvage and Disposal Board, makes this esimatc in a circular to army salvage and disposal officers across Canada. Looking forward to the Canadian army’s ever increasing number of “marching feet”, a program of pre­ servation of army boots is now un­ der way, Capt. J. R. Clarkson, newly arrived District Salvage and Dis­ posal Officer, said here recently. Capt. Clarkson, whose home address is Windsor, replaces Capt. F. L. Till,* who has left for Toronto to assume similar duties in M. D. 2. Prevention is better than cure is the maxim now being applied to the conservation of army boots, Capt. Clarkson stated. * Officers commanding all units in the district have been instructed to have partially worn-out army boots sent in for repairs before they are too far gone. In this way, Capt. Clarkson said, the mortality rate of army boots is being shoved down to a new low. Such saving of leather by the army is seen as helping to postpone the day of any possible rationing of boots in Canada. At the foot of Elizabeteh Street in London, stands the busy army shoe repair depot. Thousands of boots pour into this depot annually from all parts of M.D.L to eventu­ ally emerge practically as good as new. "The value of boots being repair­ ed at this depot per week runs to more than $2,500,” Capt. Clarkson declared. “Army boots repaired at this shop in the past ten weeks have averaged 510 pair per week,” he stated. “With spring and summer ahead— marching -weather—the number will mount sharply. When the peak re­ pair season is reached some time during the summer as many as 1,200 pair of boots per week will be com­ ing in. “In a year’s., time, commencing April 1, we can count on repairing about 40,000 pair of boots,” sum] Capt. Clarkson. London's army shoe repair shop, in common with other such shops throughout Canada will witness a new high mark this summer in the number of boots repaired, the Dis­ trict Salvage and Disposal Officer predicted. And for two reasons! First, because of notices sent out to units asking that they send in army boots before they are too far gone. And second, because the army shoe repair shops will be doing shoe re­ pairing for the R.C.A.F., also. Pre­ viously, the air force boots were re­ paired by civilian shoe repair shops on contract. Service boots which will be show­ ered on this busy little shop from all over Western Ontario is likely to increase the present staff from ten to about fifteen by summer, Cnpt. Carkson concluded.

HEALTH LEAGUE* of CANADA The launching of anational cam­paign to promote the growing ofvegetables by non-commercial indi-1 viduah and groups is announced bythe Health League of Canada. It is th<* intention of the League toawaken Canadian citizens fromcoast to coast to the need for in­ creased vegetable growing in 1943. It is pointed out that there willid all probability, be a scarcity of certain commercially grown veget­ables in Canada this year. The rea­sons for this are: 1. The export of large quanti­ties of processed vegetables to ouroverseas forces and to the people ofthe United Kingdoms 2. A decline in commercialgrowing due to labor shortage andtransportation problems.One answer to the problem, says the Health League, is the homovegetable garden. That part of thepopulation living in rural sectionswill probably continue to grow their own vegetables. City dwellers, how­ever, are urged to put their back­yards to good use by planting veget­ ables this year. By so doing theywill relieve any possible shortage,as well as gain a fascinating hobby. TJie Minister of Agriculture, theHon. J. G. Gardiner, states: “We ofthis Department fully endorse ;he encouragement of backyard andcommunity gardens in 1943, andhave already commtinieated with provincial departments of agricul­ture suggesting that encouragement be given to such projects thia year.”Provincial Departmental of Agri­culture, Education and Health, have expressed their endonsatton .of thiscampaign.

NATIONAL WAR FINANCE COMMITTEE M ak e Your Do llars Count Double © What do you buy with your hard- earned dollars? Food, clothing, shelter? Then' they are well-spent.^ But, the dollars* that you have invested in Victory Bonds have a double value. They are helping to train, feed, equip and transport Canada’s fighting men. At the same time that your Victory Bond investments are helping your country in her time of greatest need, they are paying you good interest. And, every day you find pleasure in thinking of how much fcthey will mean to you when the war is over. Very $pon you xyill have a chance to buy more Victory Bonds. Dollars invested in this way will be even more valuable than ever because, our fighters are on the offensive. There’s a better chance than ever for an early Victory. Think what this will mean to you and your family—to men and women every­ where who are born to be tree. Canada has sent a steady stream of men and materials to the fighting fronts. Now that we are marshalling for the attack, wre must have huge reserves. It must be clear to all that the greater our available supply, our reserve of fighting tools, the fewer will be I our losses in men. You can help to save lives, hasten Victory, bring our men back home. You can help to assure "the four free­ doms” for all—by buying Victory Bo'nds to* the limit of your ability. You are not aSked to give but only to lend. Help Canada. Safeguard your own future. Be ready to go the limit when the Victory Bond salesman calls. TOWN COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) a separated municipality, why do they serve one municipality and not another. “Cannot this law be amen­ ded?” the speaker enquired. Councillor Morrison replied that a special enactment could be brought in to meet this situation. As a resut of this discussion, a motion was put through by Council­ lors Smith and Bower, that no perm­ anent repairs be made to Bell street until such time as the Department of Highways grants some financial assitance and that proper lights and signs be kept in place to advise the public of the bad conditions of the road. As reported at the last meeting, by Councillor George Preston, that he would introduce a measure for the control of dogs, and on being seconded by Councillor Thomas Morrison, he read the by-law which amends section 82, of by-law No. 972 of the consolidated by-laws. Councillor John Weir took the chair when the council went into a com­ mittee of the whole for the reading of this by-law. The new tax applies to dogs over four months old and is to be paid before the first of May. Owners or harborers are to pay $2 for the first male dog and 53 for the second; the fee for the first female dog is $5 and $6 for each additional female. Upon presenting a veterinarian’s certificate the tax for spayed fe­ males will be the same as a male dog. Councillor Preston outlined the conditions which had brought about this necessary measure. He stated that numerous complaints had been made to the Chief Constable and members of the council, that dogs were running about in droves, des­ troying property, gardens and flow­ ers. There were too many loose dogs in town, chasing cars, cyclists or pedestrians. The sleep of war workers is also disturbed by the yap­ ping and barking of these dogs. The speaker said that he liked dogs but did not believe in keeping them tied up and did not wantTthem to be a nuisance to others. There are num­ erous people who harbor dogs but do not claim ownership of them, particularly when damage is done -by these. These stray dogs should be put out of the way. People who have a dog they like are willing to pay the tax. The speaker also point­ ed out a case in which a child had been struck by a car on King street when the driver tried to avoid a dog. Other cases of people being bitten were brought forth also to support his claims. He sought the co-opera­ tion of dog owners to keep their dogs under control, so that further restrictions would not be necessary. Mayor Daniel stated that this by­ law was not nearly as drastic as when it came before the committee meeting- He felt that it urns not hurting anyone greatly and hoped that owners would try to control their dogs and keep them from run­ ning at large particularly at this time of the year. Councillor Smith did not consider the by-law unduly harsh except for the JI increase. It will not gain anything except from a financial standpoint and will not prevent the stray dogs running about whose own­ ership is not: claimed by anyone, eilv gadp a1 istand- their? tj Mayor Daniel wondered if the mover would amend this motion placing the fee at $2 for the second dog. Councillor Preston, replied that one dog was enough for any family. Councillor Morrison said that he felt the electorate would appreciate the position of the council after being beseiged to do something about stray dogs. No hardship was to be placed., upon owners who looked after their dog in the proper manner. Tags (were to be placed Upon the dogs so that the owner could be traced at any time when circumstances called for it. Stray dogs which continue to roam after May 1st could be done away with. A slight up-angle adds greatly to the effect of this shot Don't be afraidto tilt your camera If It gives you the,effect you want. CA p M ic E tu R r A e h a o n b g b le y is f t a s s . ci W na i t s e e s l y m u a se n d y l l I v sc ie e w ne s, i it Is a splendid tool, and with it* *’ many a picture can be made morcydramatic. But, like pepper in soup, it should be employed withcare. Random, indiscriminate "angle shooting" without sound purpose is not the source of better pictures. Of course, a camera can be used at any angle—level, tilted up ordown, right or left—but the angle used should always bo determinedby the effect desired. If you want a natural "drawing" of any subject,a level camera is essential. But if a "skyscraper” effect is the thingyou want to achieve, you’ll have to choose a low viewpoint and tilt your camera upward. Generally speaking, a low view­ point is dramatic. It gives a feelingof movement and action to the sub­ ject. It is admirably adapted to pic­turing sports, to emphasizing the height of buildings, to making bold and forceful pictures of people. •A high angle of view, on the other hand, tends to dwarf the im­portance of a subject. Sometimes, as is the case in street und parade scenes, it gives a clear over-all view without any nearby figure#^cluttering the scene. But Its mostgeneral application is to refluce theimportance of an object. A highangle, looking down on the subject,for example, will make a tall man look shorter. Tilting the camera, either to theright or left, will sometimes pro­ duce a greater feeling of action inthe picture—because diagonal lines are inherently thoso of movement—but sidewise tilts are usually more helpful in arranging the ele­ments of the picture more inter­ estingly within the picture space,than for producing any specific ef­ fect. This kind of “angling” should, however, be confined to subjectswith sky as background so that lines that we know are horizontalor vertical will not appear askew. In any event, angle shooting Isentertaining and instructive. It may be employed freely whenever thedesired effect Is best achieved in. that manner. But don’t tilt at ran­dom. Know exactly what you want to get, and then let any angle shot help you to get it.John van Guilder The by-law was passed three times without amendments by committee of the whole and numbered 1139. A grant of $10 for advertisement re recruiting for D. Company Ox­ ford Rifles, Reserve Army, was granted to the citizens’ committee of that organization. Mayor Daniel gave a detailed re­ port of the interview which Council­ lor Weir and he had made with the managers of the various banks, pub­ lic utilities commission and the Do­ minion Natural Gas Company. This had arisen due to the petition which Councillor Preston had presented at the lost meeting, on behalf of the employees of Morrows and the (Machine Company, who desired these offices to remain open until 1 o’clock on Saturday afternoon. The managers of the banks were in favor of any move (which would be to the advantage of the commun­ ity, but the head office would have to grant permission for any such change. Under present conditions they felt that this could not be arranged. The offices of the public utilities and the Gas Company are going to remain open and give it a trial for a few weeks. During this period a check on the number of calls will be made and if considered not worth while they will return to their for­ mer hours. Councillor Preson thanked Mayor Daniel and Councillor Weir for their (report but still considered that the working classes were inconven­ ienced by existing banking hours as related to existing long hours and overtime shifts •which prevented workers doing their banking busi­ ness without losing time from valu­ able war work.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1943OTTAWAWEEK BY WEEK — By De*n Wilion — CHANCING CONDITIONS The question has been raised about the reports of men being laid off from certain work and this has been explained in Ottawa as due to changing conditions of war as well as other causes, with provisions being made in accordance with the circumstances. Hon. Humphrey Mit­ chell, Minister of Labor, has said: “We are engaged in a mechanical war and we must be continuously changing from one type of equip­ ment to another, from one airplane to another, that makes techological employment. “Then again, Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, after offering a lengthy ex­ planation of lay-offs in particular cases, intimated that these men who are laid off are needed elsewhere and they will be transferred to other useful work. “When armies are being mobilized there is a great urgency to provide initial equip­ ment,” he said in part. "After that is provided, the requirement of pro­ duction depends on wastage, lost or destroyed in action. “Furthermore, this Minister made an important ob­ servation that there are many people in Canada who seem to think that because certain kinds of pro­ duction are being interrupted there is no emergency about war product­ ion as a whole. “I should like to dis­ pel that illusion,” he said. “Reqnirer merits for ships were never so ur­ gent as to-day; requirements for airplanes never so urgent; require­ ments for radio devices and for a great number of types of equip­ ment are just as urgent or more so than ever. The demands for raw materials of all kinds are as urgent or more so than ever. This is no time to relax, either on the part of managemnt or labor.” THE TRUE REASON A protest has been made by a Member of Parliament against the increase in postage rates and an ex- planation^has been demanded as to its necessity in the Post Office from the Postmaster General who is inci­ dentally the grandson of Sir Wil­ liam Mulock, the man who introdu­ ced penny postage in Canada, «s- pecialy since, claimed that Member, there is no such thing as taxation to [You Roll Them Better With] OGDENS'^ CIGARETTE TOBACCO i Givctnm for ,': HIGH explosives 'd TODOZ is ^our fat drip­ fat and bones totuu, dealer.

William Mulock, Postmaster Gen­ eral. ‘The extra one-cent or two- cents is an execise tax. It was not the post office that required more money. In fact we have a surplus. "Hn regard to a suggestion that the air mail rate should be increased to ten cents, he did not approve of this proposition. "We have got it out of the red,” he declared. "We were losing about $1,300,000 a year. Now we arc operating at a $321,000 profit. I think we can stand a one- cent increase, but if it is more than that, I would not like to say how much the volume would decrease.” ADVANCE NOTICE Since the Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Min­ ister of Finance, has announced the rationing of meat a considerable period in advance of its actual en­ actment, Gordon Graydon, Official Oppositon leader in Parliament, ask­ ed him whether other announce­ ments of rationing programmes were made as far ahead as this one. “No,” replied the Minister,” one of them was. It has always beeti our view that to announce ahead of time the rationing of anything that could be hoarded was the wrong practice and that has been carefully avoided. The announcements have been left to last possible moment.” •'However,” he pointed out, that it was difficult, if not impossible, to hoard meat. In addition, the prepar­ ations that must be made would of themselves disclosed the intentions of the Government, giving rise to rumours. Therefore, it was decided in this case to reveal this intention of rationing ahead of its actual en­ actment. “In the United States, they have not been nearly ns careful in leaving their announcements to the last moment,” said Hon. J. L. Ilsley. "On a great many commodities they have announced rationing well ahead of time where we would not do it.” DISSECTION OF DISCLOSURES It must be stressed now that im­ portant and historic developments are coming so thick and fast along PaNiament Hill in this wartime ses­ sion that often momentous news of great value and unusual consequen- ceces arc passed over with insuffic­ ient consideration by the man-in-the street in Canada unless these are revealed in their true perspective by, at minute qnd searching examination' of a careful and veteran news an­ alyst, with a proper dissection of the disclosures in Parliament bringing to light Canada’s present status in the British Commonwealth of Na­ tions and in the world as well as the position or policy of the Govern­ ment in foreign affairs. Though the leader of the Official Opposition in the House of Com­ mons, Gordon Graydon, appeared to be raising no unusual question when he asked the Government about “serious allegations” in a newspaper 'concerning this country's foreign policy, yet the r reply, sup-, plied on behalf of the Government by’ Premier Mackenzie King himself, proved to be not only completely abounding in information regarding the Government’s position and atti­ tude but to be of the highest poss­ ible significance at the present] time. “In order that it may not be said that' I 'am in atiy way- seeking to evade an immediate statement withrespect to Canada^' foreign policy, 'I may say that at'different times in this House I have given statements on Canada's policy, “declared the Prime Minister who preferred to look upon these so-called "serious allegations” as “mischievous con­ jectures.” It was clear that the Government considered such comments or others of a similar nature as likely to make what was Obviously a dif­ ficult situation more, difficult and this was a reference to the situation existing at this time between the various governments who have uni­ ted in, the common effort to solvetVicir mutual problems. Under these.' circumstances, the Govempient had deemed' I'lhiyisablc to do its- ut­ most to make difficult situations less difficult and to carry on in such a- way as may prove to be most in the' commpn interest whenever this was possible, though Premier King did admit 'that "that is a broad state­ ment, but being broad it perhaps covers th© attitud* of the Govern­ ment better Uian anything else could.”* Moreover, it seemed that in such matters of Canada’s foreign policy, when the old questions have been raised again at this time about the status of this country in its interna* tional relations from now on, suchas if Canada was to proceed as acountry having rights of her ownand sovereign rights of her own, and other questions of this sort, these questions have the effect at this time of helping to give the ene­ mies something to go on in the mat­ ter of alleging to their own people that the United Nations have not been completely a united body in dealing with questions arising out of the war, particularly since it has ben no secret for a long time that the enemies have sought to create just such various divisions between the parts of the British Empire or Commonwealth, the United States, and oher members of the United Nations. “I think it is doubly necessary for the reason that, the more public discussion is diverted to questions about what is going to be the atti­ tude of this couhtry and that coun­ try at the pqgce table and in the post-war period, the less the coutnry will be impressed with the fact that this war is not yet won. Anyone who knows anything tbout the situ­ ation realizes that it is going to be a much longer time before the wal­ l's won than most of us recognize at the present time. I do not think that we in Canada have begun to apprec­ iate the difficulties which lie ahead of us this year, w-ith the situation confronting the countries which are associated under the name of the United Nations, in the winning of the war,” said the Prime Minister with startling frankness. Then he continued to stress that the difficul­ ties were far greater than any Can­ adians had really begun to realize and he added that Canada cannot give too much attention to the fact that the winning of this war was more important than anything else which can possibly be discussed at this time so that to-day, more than at any other time in the entire his­ tory of the British Empire, there was a need of adapting to the ever- changing conditions in the world the machinery between the different parts o’f the British Empire in order to help in the interpretation of the true and exact nature of the rela­ tions between the parts of the Brit­ ish Empire within their own sphere and within the world itself in the best interests of the common cause. “When this country went into the war, it did so ns the result of the action of this Parliament, taken on its account, a decision reached in ac­ cordance with what it believed to be and certainly was, the will of the people of Canada,” concluded Prime Minister Mackenzie King.” “In all our relations with other parts of the Empire and with other .countries, so far as the present ad­ministration is concerned we intend *to stand on that ground of status of our own, equal to tjiat of each and all of the ’Self-governing Dominions and the United Kingdom included.” There was no doubt about the meaning of these memorable words, nor about their deep significance at the present time.— (Reproduction Prohibited.) the four quilt groups, each displayedsome lovely quilts for the Red Cross.A total of twenty-three quilts havebeen made and donated by the lad­ies.

Put clean woollens in and seal with a piece of cloth dipped in egg white. 3. Moth-proof flakes scattered in the folds of garments in closets and trunks will kill moths and prevent eggs from hatching. 4.

Fuel Supplies MASON'S, Ingersoll turned in to your local ration board April 15th.) Many angles to the sugar requisition problem are puzz­ ling our readers. So we have chosen some of the questions most fre­ quently asked., and give their ans­ wers to help you solve your canning problems. Mrs. C. K. asks—“How much sugar will we consider requisition­ ing for our family of six? Answer—Canned Fruit Budget for 6—Allow 6 to 8 servings for each quart of fruit 6 months of the year without fresh fruit except apples, serve canned fruit 6 times a week—144 quarts. 4 months of the year supplement raw fruit with canned fruit 3 times a week—48 quarts. 4 months of the year—no raw apples, serve canned apples once a week—16 quarts. Total of canned fruit is 208 quarts. This requires, according to Government order (which is ample) 104 lbs. sugar. For jam or jelly served 4 times a week, consider 48 jars jelly which require 18 lbs. sugar. However, if you have not ade­ quate equipment, don't order more sugar than you can use to advan­ tage—and thus waste it Sugar istoo valuable io experiment with at this time. Mrs. M. S. asks—“Do we requis­ ition for sugar for fresh fruit to be used at the table?” Answer—No. this will be sweet­ ened with the sugar from the usual weekly ration. Mrs. C. D. says—I have always used heavy syrup for gooseberries, rhubarb, citron, plums and straw* berries^Will I be able to obtain corn syrup to assist in canning? Answer—You wiy be able to buy corn syrup from timb to tim?. • Do not hoard syrup. Although there are some fruits which require a heavy syrup for some taste, you will use a thin syrup (14 cup sugar to 1 cup water) for apples, peaches, pears, etc. The average of £ lb. of sugar per quart jar is sufficient. Mrs. N. L. says—-“I have always canned according to my budget. For example—6 quarts 6Y berries or a 6-qt., basket of cherries. How much will these weigh? Answer—1 quart- box of straw­ berries, raspberries, blueberries, red black and white currants, equals about 1% lbs. net weight, 1 (6-qt.)

Wheeler, Assistant Director of Marketing Service, Dominion De­ partment of- Agriculture. The dried product has come into strong demand after the apple being hardest hit by reduced canning just as it has by loss of overseas outlets. There is no assurance of any meta! containers for apple sauce, apple juice or pie apple, for civilian con­ sumption. Of these the loss of can­ ned pie apple is felt least, by the housewives, but it is a real loss to the bakers and to industries such as mining, lumbering and construction camps where the demand for dried apple is increased also by the scar­ city .of supplies of other dried fruits. It is worthy of passing mention that among bakers now using dried apple for pies, some complain that the fruit colour in the pie «is darker than with canned apple. Possibly this complaint is a nautral out­ growth of years of custom in mak­ ing xtyie.s of canned apple. The fact is that, dried apples of many of the best; culinary varieties give the de­ sirable golden complexion of fresh apple in pie or sauce; while in a fow varieties the cooked product is somewhat darker whether from fresh or dried apple. All of which leads up to a sugges- tion that those housewives who have not forgotten how might well turn the clock back next autumn and the short supply of raisins and other dry some apples at home to help out imported fruits for home Baking during the winter. To Pay Subsidy on Concentrated Milk A subsidy of 25 cents per 100 lb. of milk wife’be paid to manufactur­ ers of concentrated whole milk pro­ ducts to be added to the price now being paid . to producers for milk purchased for: concentrating pur­ poses during March and April, 1943, the Dominion' Department of Agri­ culture has ^inounecd. It is'estimat- ed that the total subsidy will be about $350,000. A (100 Victory Bond will main­ tain a soldier in Canada for nearly three weeks or for two weeks over­ k u. Buy all you can! NEED FOR CARE ON PARTONMOTORISTS In view of the large number of night convoys of army vehicles operating out of the Canadian Driving and Maintenance School, Woodstock, a number of sugges­ tions are offered by military of­ ficials with a view to securing the co-operation of civilian motorists in avoiding accidents. To the present time it is fortunate that no serious accidents have occurred. The con­ voys are operating three nights a week, travelling over all the roads within a radius of 75 to 100 miles of Woodstock. Hence it is important that every precaution be taken to minimize the possibiity of accidents between convoy vehicles and civilian motor cars. Here are the suggestions offered to motorists: If Overtaking a Convoy 1. Decrease speed immediately and wait for the assistant driver's signal before passing a vehicle in the convoy—he will wave his arm from rear to front for you to pass. 2. If possible stay out of convoy, the driver is endeavorinrg to main­ tain his proper interval and can not possibly do so if you lag along be­ tween vehicles. 3. Do not cut into a convoy from a side road, you are endangering your own safety as well as that of the men in the D.NjD. Vehicle. 4. A blue flag is carried on lead vehicles in a convoy and a green flag on rear vehicles with corres­ ponding lights at night-watch for them. 5. A traffic controller is placed at all important road intersections. Do not disregard his signal, he will let you pass through as soon as it is possible, with safety. 6. If you pass a day convoy in the opposite direction do not exceed 20 miles per hour on highways or gravel roads and ten miles per hour in cities or towns. If Overtaking * Night Convoy 1. Do not use low or high beam lights. Put your parking lights on and follow the convoy. If you must pass, flick your lights from park to low beam and back to park and the DJD.D. driver will let you pass at the first opportunity. 2. Remember how blinding your bright lights are to men driving with blackout equpiment. 3. If you overtake a night con­ voy coming in the opposite direct­ ion, pull over to the side of the road, stop, and use your park lights. Remember that a D.N.D. vehicle is much harder to drive than a pub­ lic motor car. Use forethought and follow- the aformentioned instruct ions. Trans-Canada Air Mail Shows Great Increase During the first five years of operation by Trans-Canada Air Lincs, 275,000,000 letters, weighing five and a half million pounds, were carried. In addition, 700,000 pounds of express were also carried, and 266,435 passengers took the air, enough people to poulate a city the size of Winnipeg. Air mail increased more than six times during the five- year period; air express was nearly fifty times greater in 1943 than in 1938; and fifty times as many pass­ engers were carried. T.C.A. planes flew more than twenty-two million miles during the five years, thia mileage multiplying more than six times during that period. Trann-Camida Air Lincs’ part in the war effort is a vital one. It has reduced days of travel to hours, has given many of its staff to the armed forces, and is also engaged in direct war activities. Trans-Canada oper­ ates a plant at Winnipeg for the De­ partment of Munitions and Supply which overhauls military aircraft, engines, propellers and accessories, and its own instrument shop is working twenty-four hours a day on the overhaul and repair of in­ struments for military aircraft T. C.A. maintains and overhauls trans­ ports in the North Atlantic opera­ tion, in co-operation with the British Overseas Airways Corporation. Collecting scrap and saving mon­ ey by saving time and conserving material serves TWICE when the earnings and savings are invested in Victory Bonds. The wool of ten sheep is needed to outfit a Canadian soldier, yet a $100 Victory Bond will buy socks for 270 men.
