High Class Holsteins Sold To Michigan Breeder PATRIOTIC RALLY HELDON SUNDAY EVENING Squadron Leader Stuart Par­ker Spoke In Support of Canada’s Fourth VictoryLoan. “Canada’s very remoteness from the theatre of war may be consid­ ered a disadvantage—an emotional disadvantage," said Squadron Leader •Stuart Parker in his splendid stirr­ ing address at the patriotic rally held on Sunday evening in Trinity United Church. Dr. Parker who was born and brought up in Scotland, told his story of his recent visit to the Old Country, with the clarity and feeling of one (who knows and understands his subject and in so doing brought home to his audience the necessity of supporting the great national urgency of the moment, Canada’s Fourth Victory Loan. Squadron Leader Parker, who as an administrative officer with the R. C.A.F., spent six months overseas with the men who are fighting Can­ ada’s war in the air, stated that he was glad to be able to speak on his experiences for he knew that Can­ adians can never hear too much about what is going on in the theatre of war. “There is no substitute for personal experience,” he said, but expressed the fervent wish that Can­ ada will not have to know the “dirty- horrible, grisly business that is war/ before she realizes what must be donte to win it. He told of changed values in Great Britain where the people have been painfully brought to the realization that money is something to be pooled to fend off the horror by which life is surroun­ ded. Dr. Parker painted graphic word­ pictures of his visits to the cities of Glasgow, London, Coventry and Ply­ mouth; he told of the gallantry of the people, but expressed the opin­ ion that tales of their gallantry .were “bad propaganda—we should have been made to realize the awful suf­ fering that war can bring. In the cities of Great Britain, everyone is Twelve head of exceptionally high-class Holstcins have been pur­ chased from the Estate of Daniel Barratt, Ingersoll, by Glenn L. Ban­ croft, Flint, Mich.

It is vital that Canadians realize through imagin­ ation and sympathy what others have learned through personal ex­ perience. Through supporting the Victory Loan, we can get back by providing the means for our .boys to do their necessary and painful duties. In con­ cluding Squadron Leader Parker spoke of a nobler purpose for giv. ing, "Canada should give in thank­ fulness,” he said, “in thankfulness for its remoteness, for houses that are not blasted, bodies not crippled, lives that are spared."

T H E STORY B E H I N D M E A T R A T I O N I N G Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those who are fighting to keep the war from our shores. After all special wartime demands are taken care of, only one half of the meat produced in Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home. ML Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must be maintained at all costs.^Canned meat is required in large quantities by the Red Cross to send to our boys who are prisoners of war. Great Britain has to depend more and more on Canada for supplies to maintain even its present low ration rite of 28 cents worth of meat per person, per week.Places like Newfoundland and the West Indies, which previously secured their meat from othfr sources—must now depend to a great extent on Canada. Since the war started the consumption of meat by civilians has increased in Canada. Great defense projects such as the Alcan Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop­ ment have created new and large demands for meat in areas where practically no demand existed before. The many extra ships of the United 'Nations now calling' at Canadian ports, must be . furnished with meat. RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT fORESlGHT— INTELLIGENT PLANNING Coupon rationing is the only way of ensuring equal sharing of the meat available for civilian consumption in Cariada. Those with lots of money will not get more than their share—and those with less money will be assured of getting their fair share. Rationing will help prevent local meat shortages such as occurred last year from becoming widespread and continuous throughout the whole Dominion. The incentive for panic-buying which empties butcher shops early in the day, will be eliminated. THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION Fortunately, dur meat production in Canada has increased. So, although only half,our production will be available for civilian use, it wil mean a reduction of only about 15% to 20% in\the average household consumption, Tbe proposed ration of 2 lbs. (carcass wfeght) per person^per week, has been approved by the country's leading -food and nutrition authorities,* ar ample for the health and nutrition standards of everyone—regardless of age or occupation. DATES AND OTHER DETAILS REGARDING MEAT RATIONING—SOON TO BECOME EFFECTIVE IN CANADA— WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER THE W ARTIME PRICES AND TRADE SOARD 4 SALFORD On Wednesday evening a number of the Salford young people and in­terested persons in the districtattended the regular meeting of theYoung People’s Union held in theschool room of the United Church.Rev.

Dear Mr. Ilsley By Gpl. G. H. Gislason April, 1943 Dear Mr. Ilsley, Enclosed please find a money order for fifty dollars, for which I want you to forward me a Victory Bond. When a guy with twenty bucks a month, net, starts shelling out fifty bucks, it stands to reason he’s either close-fisted, patriotic or far­ sighted. Well, I rather pride myself on being a little loose with the loose change, so I don’t belong in the first-mentioned group. But aside from whatever else the Army may have taught me. I’ve come to the know a better way for me to scramble together enough money to swing a deal like that than to soak it away in Victory Bonds? Sure, you say, sure. But, heck, Mr. Ilsley, you don’t know half the story. Did you ever stop to figure out that when I lay away that fifty dollars every little while, I’m also buying myself a Bren Gun? That Bren gun's going to get me back to the house-warming on Goulding Street a damnsight quicker than I’d get back without it!

So believe me, Mr. Ilsley, you can’t measure patriotism by the amount of money you're making or the particular job you may be doing, whether it’s in the Army or some place else. Matter of fact, now that I think of it—guess I’m not the only one with that angle. I’ve been- pretty busy learning a few pointers on extermin­ ating Shicklegruber's hot-shots, so I may be a little rusty on the statis­ tics. But there must be around half a million of us fumigators with the old “Canadas” on the ' shoulders.

Clarke who was killed at the Pem­ berton street crossing of ifie C. N. R. on Monday, May 3rd, were held last Thursday afternoon, from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home. There were many in attendance at the service which was conducted by Rev. R. C. Cumming of Salford. The pallbearers were Ernest Wol- stenholme, Leonard Diggs, and R. Lose, representing the Sons of Eng­ land, Frank Way, George Groves and Harry Banbury. Interment was made at the Harris Street Cemetery. That makes half-a-million people who’ll be looking for a place to hang their hats, after this show. It also means there are half-a-million fam­ ilies all over this country we call home that want to bring them back. And holy mackerel, I'm not par­ ticularly proud about being far­ sighted. Any fool can plainly see that a few bucks—a few Victory Bonds in other words—certainly aren't going to do me any harm when I climb out of the khaki into a zoot-suit after we dunk Schicklc- gruber into the Danube, come next spring, maybe. I let the girl friend marry me last fall, before -I went away. (She’s a good kid, and deserved a break.) She wants to rope me down in a nice five-room bungalow on Gould- ing Street after the war. She’s got the whole thing figured out—a cute little house, ‘with a caragana hedge around a biggish-sized yard out in front, with a couple of trees for shade "and to swing a hammock be­ tween. The idea being that she can lie in the darn thing while I do the dishes. And, whadda^a know? She’s got me pretty much sold on the idea too. Now I ask you, Mr. Ilsley, even if you are a little prejudiced, do you Why shucks, Mr. Ilsley’, it just makes sense, doesn’t it, that al! the belly­ aching and day-dreaming we do isn't going to help them make that return trip across the pond? Give ’em a Bren Gun, or a Tommy, or an air­ plane, or a tank or something! Well, now I’ve bought myself a Bren, so someone else won’t have to do it. But Mr. Ilsley, I really wish you’d buckle down and sell a whole flock more of these Victory Bonds, so some of my G.S. sidekicks who can’t afford their own (Honest, some guys never learn!) will get some weapons to work their way through Germany with! By the way, Mr. Ilsley, you’d bet­ ter not send the Victory Bond to that five-room bungalow on Goulding Street, It hasn’t been built—not YET! Send it on to the wife, so she can add it to her collection, the little miser. k She r w in Wil l iams Pa in t s n April Donations To Local Red Cross 1 The following supplies were re­ ceived at the local Red Cross rooms for April: • Beachville Unit—2 quilts, 10 wool skirts, 20 bkruses,., 5 hospital gowns, 10 pairs sox, 1 pair mitts, 3 pairs panties.

While a 10% increase objective has been set for the Ontario potato crop, authorities are of the opinion that market conditions are such that there will be satisfactory out­ lets for all that can be produced. Therefore, every effort should be made to materially increase potato production, particularly where soil and climatic conditions are adapted to the potato crop. Maximum pro­ duction close to consuming centres would assist in overcoming transpor­ tation difficulties. It should be remembered that po­ tatoes produce more food nutri­ ents per acre than most farm cdops. British authorities, in comparing food values and urging increased potato production, state that - ten acres of Wheat would maintain 21- persons for the year; ten acres in potatoes would maintain 42 per­ sons; ten acres in milk producing pasture would maintain four per­ sons, and ten acres grazed by beef cattle would maintain one person.

However, increased yields per acre can be obtained if proper attention is given to the crop, particularly by way of building up soil fertility with read­ ily available abundant supplies of plant food, use of good seed, and providing protection for the grow­ ing crop against insects and disease. All available potato machinery should be used to capacity by arrangements made by neighbours on either co-operative or custom basis for planting, weeding, spray­ ing, dusting and harvesting. While Ontario potato production has been on the decrease during re­ cent years, consumption has been steadily on the increase, because more people now realize and ap­ preciate the full food value ,of potatoes—John D.

Harry^ Nixon. as permanent leader of the Liberal party of Ontario in succession to the Hon. Mitchell Hepburn, is looked upon with great significance in political circles along Parliament Hill and well-informed observers ex­ pect that this choice will bring inter­ esting news in the near future, par­ ticularly regarding the relationship between the Government of Ontario and the Federal Government in Ot­ tawa. Under former Premier Mit­ chell Hepburn, there was a feeling of constant and growing hostility which reached a fever in recent times. However, the new Liberal Party leader, Hon. Harry Nixon, who was favoured strongly by the Federal Liberals at the recent con­ vention, has always been on very good terms with Premier Mackenzie King personally as well as other powerful forces in the nation's REED’S FURRIERS WOODSTOCK - ONT. capital In fact, it is now recalled that Hon. Harry Nixon was the only Minister fo the Hepburn Cabinet who was present on the platform with Premier King in an important political meeting in Toronto during the 1940 electoral campaign. There­ fore, under the leadership of Hon. Harry Nixon, it is believed that not only will a close, friendly relation­ ship result between the two politi­ cal camps, but this may bring new developments in enlightening the people in regard to elections. A WARNING After a complaint was made that the Government in Ottawa was not providing one of the Provinces, Prince Edward Island, with ade­ quate ferry service to the mainland,, nor that proper steps had been taken to replace the ships lost a long time ago, Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister of National Defence, who is a member of Prince Edward Island, made an important statement that not only was no person more interested in obtaining this ferry service than himself but “if anybody has a boat that will suit the purpose, which we can beg, borrow, or steal, we will have it” He emphasized in no un. certain language that the time it would require to build a ferry boat could be used to construct ten cargo ships or eight escort vessels and he pointed out that the shipping situ- tion was such that winning the war was more important than anything else especially since he considered “the Bartle of the Atlantic will be the biggest battle of 1943.” ABSENTEEISM The English method of taxing a person for the next quarter on his total earnings in the previous quar­ ter of the year has been suggested by a member of Parliament in order to defeat absenteeism since the per­ son, knowing what he would be taxed under all such circumstances, would not be inclined to dodge work under this plan. This suggest­ ion which has not been discussed as thoroughly as it should be in view of its importance to the nation, seems to have made an extremely favorable and deep impression along Parliament Hill.THE BEACON THAT LIGHTSOUR WAYIt is the duty of this impartialand veteran observer to stress anextremely important disclosure at this time. This is that notwithstand­ ing any impressions gained by the man-in-the-street through the loud bickerings and heated dissensions which have developed so far in this session even among members of the party in power, yet it can be indi­ cated that it is evident in well-in­ formed quarters behind the scenes along Parliament Hill that there is really not only complete but grow­ ing confidence within the rank and file of the party in power in the leadership of Prime Minister Mac­ kenzie King and his ability to solve the multitudinous and complicated problems which have been confront­ ing the Government in its war ef­ fort. Whether one is in agreeman- or disagreement with 'the policies of the party in power, there is no doubt that the man-in-the-street can realize that there are serious diffi- cuiies in managing or leading such an unwieldly and unusally huge body of followers so that historians could not reprove severely even if there are numerous ups and downs involved in such a delicate task of leadership. In other words, if tem­ porarily political prejudice is put aside and freedom from partisanship dominates in the national interest during this momentous wartime per­ iod, an impartial estimation shows that there must be a deep-rooted reason for such a remarkable state of affairs because under similiar cir­ cumstances of disunity or disagree­ ment within a party, any otlier lead­ er, regardless of his political faith, would have suffered a severe setback which he could never have survived. But, under the same circumstances, Premier Mackenzie King’s prestige and power has,been growing stead­ ily in the party with the passing months of this war. Why? The truth is 'that his followers feel deep in their hearts that the leader himself of the party in power cannot be blamed for some of the most troublesome internal wartime problems of disunity or discord in this country because, it can be said, Premier King himself was one of the few statesmen in Canada’s his­ tory who continued in such an ex­ traordinary maner and with unusual intensity to appeal and to warn thepeople year after year against hedangers of a divided opinion in anational crisis. Again and again inpeacetime, Premier King had em­phasized this cardinal point. Againand agajn in peacetime, it seemedthat he was endangering his own political following in some sections of the country by these continuous efforts for a united Canada above all things. AgainOInd again in peace­ time, these efforts were misinter­ preted often, if they, did not fall completely upon deaf ears. When Canada entered into this conflict, once again Premier King did not conceal the fact that his foremost ambition was to lead a united nation this war, even if a little compromise here and there would be absolutely essential to accomplish the object and to forge a proper war machine. He knew better than anyone else, that, if he led his people along such a road in this war, he would have to bear heavier burdens than any other Prime Minister since Confederation of 1867. He knew that, if “blood sweat and tears” were offered by other Prime Ministers in this war in countries where the people did not have more than one language and where the masses were more united in general, as a leader if the Can­ adian people he would have to do even better in this war. In fact, Premier Mackenzie King’s position has seemed so impossible at times in this war, particularly when some of his own followers have at­ tacked him for doing too much and others have attacked him for doing too little, that again and again stories of his resignation or retire­ ment have become a common oc­ currence, though of course- invar­ iably these have proved to be false and without any* foundation. In short, it has required true states­ manship on his part to retain a firm hand on the helm of the ship of state in the midst of such furious storms of bewilderment and panic, even amongst some of his peace­ time followers, but so far he has managed to steer clear and safely the ship of state as well as his own political party so that to-day it is disclosed in wel-informed quarters backstage along Parliament Hill that the personal prestige of this leader is greater than ever before among the rank and file of his party in face of all stories of serious bick­ erings and dissention, with evi­ dence showing clearly that they want Premier King to retain a firm hold on the rudder in wartime ns in peacetime. % Perhaps, this litle event of a couple of years ago may enlighten the man-in-the-street throughout Canada regarding the healthy re­ spect which Premier Mackenzie King has always commanded . from his own party followers. It happened one night in the lobby, of the House of Commons. When a French-Can­ adian Conservative member was speaking whom they could not un­ derstand, many members were loun­ ging around in the lobby. As Prem­ ier Mackenzie King walked through this lobby, his many followers made definite attempts to greet him and to shake his hand not as if he was their own party leader but as if he was a distinguished visitor or a famous personality. The Prime Min­ ister shook hands witfi those in his immediate presence, and smilingly he said: “I wish I could stay a while and chat, but I have a lot to do.” Then he rushed away. It made a deep impression at that time, but to-day he commands an even heal­ thier respect from his followers. Therefore, whether one is in agreement or disagreement with his policies, it must be admitted thnt Premier Mackenzie King has already shown somehing remarkable in this war. It is that historians will not hesitate to record for all time that he has beep able to weather political storms as leader of « party with an overwhelming majority in number in, the House of Commons and he has accomplished it in such an amaz­ ingly successful manner that he has been by far one of the greatest statesmen in a most critical and tragic hour of history. More and more practical results of his con­ tinuous efforts to promote harmony among the rank and file of his own party are bound to produce deep effects ahroughout the country as the hearts of all Canadians beat more and more in common rhythmic motion until final victory. It is something which the man-in-the- dfireet should remember for future refrence. It is something of far greater importance than the man-in- the-street can realize at this time.— (Reproduction Prohibited.) NORSWORTHY CHAPTER Members of the Norsworthy Chap­ ter, I.O.D.E., met at the armouries Monday afternoon for their regular monthly meeting with the regent, Mrs. T. D. Maitland presiding. One ew member was welcomed into the chapter. The meeting received the report of the treasurer on the re­ sults of the annual Milk Fund tag day held Saturday, May 1st, and was gratified to learn the sum raised was greater than that of the past few years. A letter was read from the local branch of the Canadian Legion, re­ questing the co-operation and help of the Norsworthy Chapter in the Legion's proposed undertarking of erecting a War Memorial in Inger­ soll. The members were unanimously in sympathy and it was decided to purchase a 850 War Bond and don­ ate it to this cause. Much interest was displayed in a letter which came directly from the Commanding Officer of the ship assigned to the Norsworthy Chapter for adoption. A committee head­ ed by Mrs, L. Brown, was formed to begin functioning immediately in this connection. This new venture promises to provide very interesting work for the Chapter. The War Service Convener's re­ port was read showing the follow­ ing articles completed: For the Provincial Headquarters: 3 pairs seaman’s socks, 6 pair socks, 3 turtle-neck sweaters,, 3 ribbed hel­ mets, 3 scarves, 3 pair hurricane mitts, 6 baby outfits, 2 pair baby mitts. For the Red Cross—1 man’s shirt, 3 boys’ shirts, 1 slip, 1 dress, 1 jum­ per, 2 pairs panties. It was decided to have the Prov­ incial Chapter carry the vote of this Chapter to the National meeting to be held in Edmonton in the near future. Mrs. George Beck read an inter­ esting and appropriate paper “Em­ pire Day,” prepared by Mrs. Mait­ land in connection with Empire Study which was very much enjoyed by the members. The highlight of the meeting was the report read by Mrs. Alex. Yule on the 23rd Annual Convention of the Provincial Chapter held in Ham­ ilton recently and which Mrs. Yule attended as a delegate from the Norsworthy Chapter. Mrs. Yule’s report ably and comprehensively presented, provided the members with a concise outline of the work of the I.O.D.E. during the past year. Also many new ideas and suggest­ ions were included in the report which will serve as an impetus to the Norsworthy Chapter and encour­ age the members to enhance their efforts during the coming year.

Malcolm, War Work Convener for the Ingersoll Branch of the Red Cross Society, has pre­ pared an interesting report of the 23rd annual meeting of the Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross So­ ciety, held in Toronto, last month. In part, the report says: “Mr. N. S. Cauldwell, Honorary Secretary, explained the needs and activities of each department, stressing the immediate need of more blood donors and commending the work done by the travelling clin­ ics, and making a strong appeal to every branch to take an active part in the aid given to next-of-kin of prisoners of war.” The report on Junior Red Cross was most interesting; over 40,000 new members enrolled last year and their. program stressing better healiti, better citizenship as well as work in Red Cross peace and war time projects, could |well be copied by the adult organization.” "The report on Blood Donor Clin­ ics showed four new clinics opened this year, making 27 in all. Nine mobile clinics are in each. Each of these 'costs about $1250.00 and has been paid for out of special don­ ations. Sufficient funds are almost completed to purchase another outfit” "The afternoon session -was given over to informal round table dis­ cussions. The war worl# was under the direction of Mrs. Fraser. Many interesting questions were asked and answered but the main item on both sides was the shortage of ma­ terials of every kind. We are asked to buy what we can locally (which we have always done in this branch), and to believe that those in charge of filling orders will allocate the sup­ plies available as fairly as possible. The government has*had to reduce many of the priorities held by the Red Cross in order to fill military requirements and until these have .been attended to, we will have to do the best we can with the ,wool and material that is available.” P.O, Jack Shuttleworth Ha* Arrived Home -Home once more after a series of thrilling experiences, Pilot Officer Jack Shuttleworth rejoined his par­ ents, Mr and Mrs. iN. H. Shuttle­ worth, West Oxford, last week. P.O. Shuttleworth was reported missing over Germany last November after numerous operational flights. Weeks after his parents received word that he was interned in Spain and later word came that he had arrived at Gibraltar. More recent information told of his arrival in England and that i a had^ previously been granted a* comir.’ssion as pilot officer. P.O. Shuttleworth told how after their plane had been brought down by enemy fire in France, he escaped with other members of the crew into Spain. After being confined to jails in diffemt parts of the country he managed to reach Gibraltar. He will remain at bis home here untn June. 1st, but docs *ot know what he is doing after that tinxn. VICTORY LOAN SPEAKERSATH.AND S. CLUB,The Verschoyle Home and SchoolClub held its final meeting of tlft season on Friday evening in the school hall. Jn the absence of both the president and viee-president, Mr. H. W. Parkhill was in the chair. After the usual opening, “The Vill­ age Esquire,” edited by Mr. P. Moulton, was much enjoyed. The Junior room presented two folk dances . Community singing under the leadership of Mrs. J. Pollard, was enjoyed. This was supplemented by a musical reel of martial airs presented by Mr. Shaver of Tillson- burg. Two piano duets with Mrs. Pollard and Marguerite Moulton, anr Mrs. Pollard and Catherine Be­ fore were much enjoyed. The guest speaker of the evening was Mr. Shaver, who spoke in the interests of Canada’s Fourth Victory Loan now in its last week. Present also ■was Ransome- Wilson. R.C.N., home on furlough. Mr. Wilson briefly summarized the great advancement which Canada has made in building up her naval strength. In a most vivid description he told also of his Cor­ vette Louisburg, being torpedoed in the Mediterranean and of his rescue. Two reels of pictures, one, “War in Russia," and “What He Thinks of These Things," were shown by Mr. Shaver who followed these with an urgent appeal for all to buy the new Victory Bonds, not only to help the First Army in its successful drive against the enemy in Tunisia, but also that “Canada's Battle of tty- Bil­ lion’, may be as successful as the drive against Tunis and Bezerja. The speaker was heartily thanked by Mr. R. M. Hunter and the meeting was closed with the singing of God Save the King. Then a social time was spent. Eugene Enright IsClaimed By DeathA death which will occasion adeep sense of loss among his many home town friends, occurred in Pas­ adena, California, on Saturday last, of Michael Eugene Enright, son of the late James Enright and Mrs. En­ right of Ingersoll. Gene, as he ,was called by all his friends, was born here and attended the Sacred Heart School and to the Ingersoll Collegiate, later going to Toronto where he was a student at St. Michael’s College. He went from there to Detroit where he was en­ gaged in business for some twenty years. During his early years he served as an altar boy at the Sacred Heart Church. Last fall he and his wife, little son and daughter left Detroit, moving to Pasadena, Cal., where they have made their home. To them, and his mother, his sisters, Mrs. H. F. McClure, (Ethel), of Monterey, Cal.; Mrs. A. P. Anderson, (Helen), Saginaw, Mich.; Mrs. H, G.

Shecter and the ladies of the Woodstock and Ingersoll Hadass- ah have received the following letter from Capt C. D. Daniel: “Your gracious donation of Cigar­ ettes has ■ me. Ithought pdaSfftHg<-»411^ ralive ■ tet­ ter maybe giving ma interactions as to their use. I can assure you, how­ ever, that they will find their way to many a needy soldier as smokes have been very scarce this last while. Then too, from time to time, I have quite a number of Oxford County boys call and they will be carefully looked after in that regard. Just now we are into that wonderful English spring season and this place does become a veritable fairy garden in the spring. It cheers us all up with new hope. The war news is such that everyone is in fairly good spirits these days. But our best inspiration is the kindly thought of our home folks and es­ pecially as we find its expression in such a gift as yours. Once again I want to thank you most sincerely. Charles D. Daniel.

Licht Starching Those small white touches of fem­ inine frippery at neck and throat, that have a way of improving any cos­ tume, old or new, lose much of their soft, appealing air if they are heavily starched. A good idea is to keep on hand water in which rice has been boiled. After these delicate accessor­ ies have had their regular "dipping” in gentle fine-fabric suds that are safe for anything safe in (water alone, rinse them in the rice water. It does a nice job of semi-starching and leaves them not too stiff, not too limp.• • * Remove Paint From Glatt Been doing a little painting lately? And have you succeeded uninten­ tionally in splashing large drops across a window pane, a mirror, or the glass door of a cupboard? Easiest way of getting dried paint off glass is by rubbing it with a cloth soaked in hot vinegar and scraping gently with knife. Then give it a brief going over with a cloth dipped in all-pure, ex­ tra-soapy suds, rinse, and presto— smooth as glass again. thei evening chill begins to descend. Don't forget to turn them early in the afternoon. This long airing will do them all the good in the world. It is a fine idea, the year round, to stand your mattresses at an open window for a whole morning, at least once a month. All mattresses are bound to absorb a certain amount of body moisture, and if they are not aired frequently, mildew may result. Other rules for keeping a mattress in good condition for as long as possible, are as follows: (1) Turn it at least once a week to lessen sagging and bulging. (2) Never use a mattress without a loose cover to protect it from both dust and damp. Also, the cleaner the cover, the cleaner and dryer the mattress, so wash the cover often in rich suds that give the “whitest wash” and float the dirt away without the hard rubbing and scrubbing that wear., things out. (3) Never lay it flat on the bed­ springs but always have a layer of felt underneath. (4) Besides regular turning and airing, regular brushing or vacuum-cleaning (especially round the buttoned parts) helps a lot. (5) Brust or vacuum the felt spring cover at the same time.

Are yau a war worker? Or a war­ worker's wife? Because if you are, the dirt and grease that collects on war clothes and overalls probably proves very discouraging and casts a pall of gloom over your whole wash­ day. Well, here is a tip, and an in­ expensive and easy one, especially designed to end this bugbear of do­ mesticity. Just soak or run the clothes in the washing machine in some salt water for about five minutes and watch how this saline soltution loos­ ens a great part of the grease. Then pop the clothes into some rich grease-dissolving suds that will float the dirt away without hard rubbing or scrubbing. The amount of salt nec­ essary will vary with the amount of water, but a cup to a washing mach­ ine is usually sufficient.... Are You a Mattress Murderer? You don’t have to get to work with a knife or even to weigh a lot to be a mattress-murderer. You need only be one of those people who buy a mattress, sleep on it for years, give it almost no attention, and expect it to remain comfortable. For those of you, however, who really want to give your mattresses a square deal, this is the time of year when you can really do them pjroud..

GRANT SMALL,Representative, INGERSOLL-------:--------------i----------- THE SECRET OF "JUST-PERFECT” MERINGUES! Hello Homemakers! Womenrnot only want torturn out pieces of war equipment with precision but they also want to turn out “just-perfect" foods at home. Among the “extras” that give us special delight are the meringues, delicate and golden—the crowning glory of pies and tarts. But there have been mysterious meringue fail­ ures even in our very best kitchens. So we have gone hunting for clues to "just-perfect” meringues to put you "in the know.” The ingredients are simple—-egg white, salt, a little sugar and flav­ ouring. . Take eggs from refriger­ ator and let warm to room temper­ ature. You will be rewarded with greater volume of froth. As you break each egg, seperate the yolk from the white. If suitable for mer­ ingue, white will be clear and firm and will "plop” into the cup quickly. If white is weak and watery, set egg aside for omelette or custard. .Be sure to use all of the egg white, including* the thicker portion cling­ ing to shell and yolk. '•Use a bowl that is small at the bottom. Placing it on a folded towel prevents it from slipping. Add a pinch of salt; measure out fine sugar (2 tabs.’ su­ gar to each egg white, or 1 tb. hon- ey( syrup or jelly.) Use the rolling pin on coarse sugar. f If you use an electric beater, add sugar prior to beating. When beating by fork or dover beater, beat whites to a foam before adding any sugar. Beat in half the sugar, then fold in remainder, sprinkling it in—thus less danger of overheat­ ing, The “just-perfect” meringue is shiny and moist looking. Peaks should be stiff when beater is lifted out and whites hold their position when the bowl is tipped. If you beat too long, the mixture begins to fly out of the bowl and the vol­ ume will be small. It is important to stop beating at the proper mo­ ment, • **' Your pie or fffrts should be ready for the4 meringue mix which is spread with a dull knife or spatula. Bake in a pre-heated oven of 375* for 10 min. Let cool at room tem­ perature—do not chill quickly.

Prevent Disease inBroader ChicksHome-hatched or purchasedchicks often become infected duringbrooder age and later by one or other disease which is carried by the adult fowls on the premises. Thia includes such diseases as coccidosis, parasitic worms, infectious bron­ chitis, epidemic tremors and pullor- ums disease, particularly pullorum where chicks front different sources are mixed. • These diseases do not spring up or develop spontaneously in the chicks but are foreign to them and must be acquired from some local source of infection. The usual source is affected adult fowls on the premises, and it is not neces­ sary that the chicks and affected fowls should come into contact with each other for the chicks to become infected. This may take place in­ directly through infection carried by human beings. Persons trap-nesting or likewise handling fowls may carry infection of certain diseases on the hands or clothing and may transmit the dis­ ease to chick which are subsequently being cared for by them. In like manner, filth-borne diseases may be transmitted on the shoes of an atten­ dant. Visible cleanliness alone does not constitute good sanitation. To 3RW s "Our Fami!y Regulator is Dr . Ch a :E’S k,?^yr PILLS be effective, sanitation must include the preventions of infections through contact between adult fowls and the chicks.

Two of Canadas Tribal class des­ troyers, built in Great Britain are commissioned and two more arc building there. Two more are being built at Halifax with two more to follow at the same yards. The new frigates of the R.C.N., are to see action this Summer, ac­ cording to Hon. Angus L. Macdon­ ald, Minister of Defence,.. Naval Affairs Branch. These figures and other official figures about new cargo ships indi­ cate more naval personnel in the R.C.N., and the Merchant Navy. And that means more responsibil­ ities for those who undertake to cater to the comfort and welfare of our sailors and merchant seamen. In other words the Women’s Com­ mittee, Ontario Divison, Navy League of Canada, now entering a new fiscal year, along with branches throughout the Province, faces add- . cd responsibilities. The Women’s Committee last year, through the co-operation of bran­ ches and groups all over the Prov­ ince, sent out 35,369 ditty bags and 52,784 woollen garments. These amounts will'have to be consider­ ably increased this year. Last year the Magazine Commit­ tee, with the help of branches, sent out 1,439,407 magazines and 45,420 books as wgll as games, etc. This year those Amounts will have to be considerably increased to meet the needs of increasing personnel. In addition, the Navy League of Canada as a whole is to undertake the establishment of nine clubs or homes or„recrcation centres for rat­ ings, officers, merchant seamen, in addition to fourteen centres already in operation.
