MORE BLOOD DONORS ARE
URGENTLY NEEDED
Surgeon-Commander Charles H.Best, co-worker with the late Sir
Frederick Banting, gave some interesting facts at the opening of thenew headquarters of the Ontario'
Mobile Blood Clinics at Toronto, lastweek. In one. ;week following thebattle of El Alamein, said Comman

eould have used more serum, had itbeen available.
The Canadian army will soon beusing all the serum stored up for it,so we’ll be needing much moreblood,” declared Dr. Best “It wouldtake five months at our present Can
adian rate of 10,000 donations aweek to collect enough for a majorbattle.”

Borrowing for wt^t* Farm ing
Firmen all over Canada—grain growers,stock raisers,
dairymen, fruit growers, vegetable gardeners, poultry
men—all kinds of farmers—are forcing production,
fighting hard early and late to supply the enormous
quantities of products demanded in the greatest of
all wars.
In this "survival war" food plays a tremendous
pan, and the farmer is the dependable supplier, to
whom armed forces and civilians alike must look.
Tic extra demands on farm production mean extrafinancing. The Bank of Montreal, ready always to co
operate with agriculture, is nuking special efforts at
this time to help the farmer produce food for Canada
and the United Nations.
If you need to borrow, see our nearest branch mana
ger, who will understand your problems.

Synopsis of Crop Reports
Show Season Late
The Head Office of the Bank of
Montreal has compiled an interest
ing crop report from reports re
ceived from its branches across Can
ada. The following portion outlines
general conditions throughout the
Dominion:
“While the season generally is
from two to three weeks late East*
of the Great Lakes and in British
Columbia, weather conditions have'
been favorable on the whole
throughout the Prairie Provinces
and land operations that are becom
ing general, with the seed bed in
good condition and sufficient mois
ture to ensure germination. Precipa
tion to date in these provinces has
been somewhat below' normal and
rainfalls will be needed this month
in some districts. A preliminary
survey' indicates a reduction in
wheat acreage, while the acreage
sown to coarse grains, particularly
barley and flax, will show an in
crease. Last year’s unthreshed crop
is being harvested and while yield is
low. the grade is better than was
expected. In the Province of Que
bec, Spring is from two to three
weeks later than usual and snow is
still in evidence in many regions.
Pastures and meadows have winter
ed well generally, and orchards are
in good condition, apart from minor
damage. Prolonged cold weather re
duced the run of maple sap and the
crop is estimated at 50/75', of
average, with the quality fair to
good. Warm rains are needed to

work has been delayed considerably
by adverse weather conditions and
in most sections seeding operations
are pot yet under way. The season
is at least two weeks later than
normal. Much of the land is very
wet and warm dry weather is badly
needed. In the Maritime Provinces,
very little work has been done on
the land as yet. Fruit trees arc re
ported to be free from frost dam
age and pastures have wintered
well. In British Colmbia, planting is

Of Interest to Women 1
Ironing Board Cover
The next time you whip yourselfup a new ironing board cover, instead of tacking it in place, hem the
edge all way around and run adrawstring through it Then thecover will last longer as it can be
removed easily for regular laundering in rich suds that give the “whitest wash." In addition, this type ofcover pulls taught evenly, and less
material is required in the makingas the two sides need not overlap.
Clean Toy* for Babied
It’s quite a job to keep a kiddie’stoys clean, but clean they should be.Otherwise there’s the risk of dirtand germs being carried to theyoungster's unsuspecting mouth.How the toy can be kept clean
should be one of the first things youthink of when you consider buyinga child a toy. The purchase shouldhave some thought back of it—how
can the child play with it, is he atthe right age to enjoy it, and arethere any dangers to the toy (sharp,
points or loose mouth-size parts).Colored toys should be examined forfading. To be satisfactory, paint andcolored fabric must stand up under
frequent soap and water washings.Also if the paint has a lead base,the youngster will be made ill if he
chews on it. If toys are washable,the easiest way to keep them cleanis to place them in the bathinetteand give them a daily “whipped
cream” lather bath following baby’sown bath-time.
Care of Window Sill*
Whenever a window is left open,the sill is subject to either dust orrain, and the two combined leave
spots, which, if uncared for, becomestains. One way to protect sills js towash them thoroughly every once ina while with all-pure, extra-soapy
suds and lukewarm water rinse, drythoroughly, and then coat them witha thin layer of liquid wax. Polish
until the wax is hard enough to bea protective finish, and dust regu
larly. ...
First Aid For Curtain*
Everybody’s looking at your win
dows today—that’s spring for you!
Overnight those shut-up-tights have
swung wide to welcome sunbeams
and balmy breezes. And windows
that looked quite so-so yesterday,
this morning beg for first aid from
your sewihg kit. And first aid they
should get! Don’t think that just be
cause you shouldn’t (in the interests
of conservation), 'buy new curtains,
you must put up with ones that are
frayed, wind-tom, or shrunken.
Alter them subtly—not obviously.
A band of.chintz or plain material
added Jp the bottom with matching
ruffle or valance at top, will in
crease the length and add color. If
you don’t intend to use a matching
valance, set in that extra slip at the
those taking least heat first. (4)
Sprinkle laundry judiciously as it
takes extra heat and more energy to
iron out unnecessary moisture, (5)
Either add a little melted paraffin
to starch to prevent it from sticking
to the iron, or rub a little paraffin
directly on the iron.

The seemingly irremovable film
that forms on drinking glasses
when drops of hard water in them

stead of being wiped off—can “be
easily removed with a little vinegar.
Just wipe the glasses inside and out
with a cloth wrung out in vinegar,
then pop them into a batch of rich
grease-dissolving suds, and they’ll
shine with a now lustre. Incidentally,
a cloth dampened (with vinegar will
also help remove all hard-water de

tubs.

your slip-cover for an insert or

of new material inserted in the
centre will give needed width. Use
a striped or figured material for
plain- ones and a plain fabric for
curtains already patterned. And
don’t forget to keep them sparkling!
Dirt rots fabric, so buy permanent

Three Way* to Clean Window*
Cleaning windowpanes is so easy
that it is a pity to postpone it, es
pecially now'when that long-awaited
sun is beaming brightly through the
glhss and conscientiously revealing
every'speck of dirt and dust and
every smear. There are three ways
to do it. One is to spray the pane
with a bottled liquid window cleaner
and polish it bright with' cheese
cloth. Two is to apply a thin film of
fine cleansing powder on a moist
cloth. Use either powdered or cake
cleanser. When the film is almost
dry, polish it off with a clean, dry
cloth. Three is to use a wet chamois
squeezed out of clear water. This
produces excellent results but it re
quires* putting your hands in water.
Before cleaning the panes, wash the
window frpmc thoroughly with
extra-soapy, all-pure suds, rinse
well and dry,• • •
Ea*y Ironing
The fact that your "whitest wash"
is hanging proudly on the line,
doesn’t mean the ,washing's done.
There’s still the ironing. To make
this easier and save labor, follow
these simply rules: (1) Don’t iron
seersucker, pyjama crepe, knitted
cotton or rayon, brushed rayon,
chenille, terry cloth or corduroy.
, (2) Wring clothes evenly and hang
straight on line and there’ll be fewer
wrinkles to Iron out (3) Divide
articles needing a hot iron from
those requiring a cool one, then iron

SIGNIFICANT CONFERENCES
With Canada’s armed forces beingready for any action and this coun-trys classificiation amongst the Uni
ted Nations in the production of thenecessities of war being in fourth
position now, the growing importance of this nation’s men and mach
ines of war as well as allocation ofwar products is strongly emphasized
in the capital in view of the historicconferences which have been held
in Washington on the matter offuture strategy, including the pres
ence there of Premier WinstonChurchill and other leaders or ex
perts. At this momentous time it is
stressed again that the Canadianforces can be used whenever or
wherever their services can be ofthe best war purpose in the war
plans of the High Command, andlikewise Canadian war supplies canbe used to fit into the generalscheme of things in this respect ofthe whole strategy of the United Nations for 1943 or later in accordance with all other circumstancesand the decisions of the war committee of the Cabinet in Ottawa
which are in tune with this co-operation and grand strategy of all theAllies,
TIME WILL TELL
Considerable interest has beenaroused by the Government's experiment with its scheme of Parliament
ary Assistants and the success orfailure of these gentlemen in theirnew assignment or duties may influence public opinion of the whole
idea, especially since behind thescenes along Parliament Hill someof those named to these positions
caused much surprise. However, timealone can determine the success orfailure of these gentlemen. More
over, when Premier Mackenzie Kingwas asked if these ParliamentaryAssistants will be called to the PrivyCouncil, he replied, ‘Ithat depends
upon the record they make in thecourse of time Then, anotherquestion was asked if there would
be special seating arrangements forthem in the House of Commons andPremier King stated that they might
remain in their present placesthough later they might be seatedalongside of the Ministers whenevercertain subjects were being discussed
in Parliament.

to be content to mate our women
with the leftovers of the nation, the
slackers, the less heroic, the less
physically fit? But that is what
must happen if wars continue to
bleed us of our best. There are tens
of thousands of young and healthy
women, who in the natural course
of events, would have mated with
the tens of thousands of the Em
pire's young men who have already
given up their lives and their chan
ces of parenthood. We can close
our eyes to the facts and sing brave
songs about their glorious and her
oic deeds, but it doesn’t alter in the
least the truth that we are already
poorer by those thousands of real
lives and many more thousands of
potential ones.
Can we afford to let this diabol-
lea! thing recur? Is it not the chiefargument against wdr, and for theformation of some great and Influ
ential body to work out the means
whereby other wars can be avoided?
And isn’t it the supreme duty of
everyone who love* his country and
desires to see it wax strong
and noble and free, to support the
efforts of such a body, and so make
its dreams come true? Surely we
must now see that if the problem
remains unsolved in the near fu
ture, there’ll be no future for any
How To Meet The Dog
Few dogs go out of their way to
cause trouble but the prime instinctof any dog is to protect his master
or his master's property.
A leaflet telling how to approachand handle dogs has been released
by the Industrial Accident Prevention Associations. The leaflet wasprepared by a noted dog fancier.
The rules he makes should be valu

Following the World War I, immigration was not a very live issue in
Canada since it was not encouragedgreatly by the authorities on account of conditions or policies. How
ever, it would not prove surprisingif this subject is considered in abroad sense after this World War II
because there are opinions , nowwhich hol'd that immigration shouldbe a post-war consideration just associal security or similar problems.
At the moment, immigration is notconsidered to be an important problem along Parliament Hill and in
the last year only slightly more than7500 people entered Canada.—(Reproduction Prohibited.)

THE PROBLEM OF
THE FUTURE
— by —
Eveline A. Long
Since the dawn of’time man has
been criminal in his tendencies to se
cure for himself t^he better part of
every bargain. He has sought by
any means whatsoever, to triumph
over hTs lesser fellow; he has
broken the law against covetous
ness without ceasing. And yet he
can be exceedingly generous. He
can? On occasion, deny himself and
brave the world to bring freedom
to men unknown tq him, and has,
when the spirit moved him, proved
himself ‘ heroic, self-denying and
supremely great. That is bo now,
when thousands of our lads go out
against the enemy, willing to sacri
fice themselves that- others may re
main free. When youths of nineteen
and twenty can face death night
after night in merciless! skies, can
shake off black fear, such as we at
home cannot imagine, can bandy
jokgs as. they prepare for the en
counter, and pretend a nonchalance
they are far from feeling; can
make a perilous flight against kno.wn
and acknowledged odds, and return,
when they do, return, without for a
moment having shown the white
feather, then I say there ‘ must be
something in us worth saving, even
though at rimes it must appear that
our vices far exceed our virtues.'
And if it is worth saving, worth this
sacrificial offering of young blood,
surely it is worth all our striving
to save it, for unless we do strive
to good effect after this war is over,
we are eventually going to lose it
No nation can survive this kind
at slaughter of its youth, generation

VITAMIN B2
The greater the intake of riboflavin in one’s daily rations, the bet
ter one's general health and thelonger one is likely to live, a leading United States nutrition authority
states.If you nre interested in good nutrition, you’ll have come across the
word “riboflavin” before this. It isthe name given to a part of theVitamin B complex, and it is pres
ent in milk, eggs, meat (especiallyliver) and green leaf vegetables.If you are familiar with livestockfeeding, you will know that ribo
flavin is as important in animal foodas in human diet.The interesting thing about ribo
flavin is that the more you take, themore good it does. Most vitaminsare needed in certain quantities and
the body cannot make use of a greatexcess.A large intake of riboflavin brings
about that “feeling of well-beingand buoyant good health,” which ismuch better than “average good
health” and a great deal better thanjust not being sick.A low level of riboflavin bringsabout earlier signs of old age, r
shorter prime of life, a lower levelof general health and if prolongedwill cause a disease known as aribo-
flavinosis. This ailment is characterized by weakening of the eyes,cracks at mouth corners,’ digestivedisturbances and poor skin condi
tion. These conditions arc common,especially among office workers whodrink too little milk. For without
milk it is difficult to get the optimum amount of riboflavin. The average daily requirement for an adult
is 2.2 milligrams.
Protecting A Great
National Heritage
There is a stage in the develop
ment of every new country when
restricted exploitation of natural
resources must end and a policy of
conservation begin. The minerals,
forest, agricultural and wildlife re
sources of Canada, once described
as unlimited have, in many areas,
reached a stage of depletion where
an all-embracing plan of conserva
tion can no longer be postponed.
The demands of war have acceler
ated this exploitation and nt the
same time emphasized the indura
tive need for conserving out great
heritage of natural wealth for fu
ture use. The derelict mining town,
the denuded forest area, and the
abandoned agricultural district nre
mute evidence of this era of unre
stricted exploitation which has last
ed since the beginning of white set
tlement in this country.
There is one notable exception to
this rule. It is to be found within
the boundaries of our great system
of national parks. Many of these
parks are splendid examples of
landscape and wildlife preservation
and are proof positive that conser
vation pays in the long run. They
preserve, almost intact, many of
the choicest bits of the Canada of
the past. By continuing to protect
them against the destructiveness of
civilization, we of this day and gen
eration are demonstrating that' we
arc not unmindful of the Canada
of the future. Already these parks
are playing an important part in
the cultural and recreational life of
the Canadian people. They are a
monument to the statesmanship and
foresight of those who believed that
we hold this land of ours in trust
for future generations: that we
must, in all fairness, hand it down
to our children as their rightful
heritage, undevasted.
It would not, of course, be prac
ticable to apply the rigid principles
of conservation pratised in the na
tional parks to the most settled re
gions of Canada. The parks are de
signed t^ serve the twofold purpose
of conservation and recreation.
They have been selected as areas of
national interest warranting their
commitment to national care. Their
wilderness features have been kept
unmodified. Their unique geological
formations have been retained ns
nature left them; and it should be
our aim to keep them free from any
kind of industrial use. We should
preserve as far «as possible their
sanctuary, scientific and primitive
values for the benefit, education and
enjoyment of the people of Canada
and their friends from other lands.
Because of the forest quilt which
covers large areas in many of the
national parks, one of the greatest
enemies of park conservation is fire.
This year forest-fire protective for
ces are seriously depleted because
of the drain of manpower to the
Armed Services and to war indus
tries circumstances it is the patri
otic duty of everyone who fre
quents any forest area to take
every possible precaution to pre
vent the outbreak of forest fire.
The woodland feature of these
parks must be maintained if they
are to continue to rank among the
most precious gems of primitive
nature, and if we are to preserve
intact some part of the primeval
wilderness which our forefathers
knew in Canada, ,
Forest Fires in Canada
During 1942
The Department of Mines and Resources at Ottawa reports that the
forest fire season of 1942 was fortunately a rather favourable one.The _ total cost and damage was
$3,550,181, compared with an annual average for the previous 10 yearsof $5,378,122. The total area burn
ed over was 1,838,471 acres, compared with an annual average of2,428,659 acres for the previousdecade. ,
The number of fires was less thanthe average for the previous decade
tn all provinces. Favourable weatherconditions and fewer peopic visitingthe forests as a result of reduced
tourist travel no doubt accountedfor this reduction in the number offires. However, in spite of the redu
ced number of fires, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotinreported the area burned and the
cost plus damage to be very considerably above normal. This may bethe result of a reduction in skilled
staff and a shortage of man-powerfor fire-fighting due to the wareffort.
Of all forest fires during 1941 inCanada, 21 per cent were causedby lightning and 79 per cent byhuman carelessness. This is a rather
sad commentary in the face of thescarcity of men to fight fire and the
importance of Canada’s forests tothe war effort. Such carelessnessdestroys valuable timber needed in
the war effort ruins recreation spotswhich the boys overseas have everyright to expect to be preserved for
their return; may so fill the airwith smoke haze as to seriously impede air travel and the operation of
air-training schools, and may,requiremen engaged on war work to laydown their tools to fight fire.
Let everyone who has occasion toenter the forest this year seriouslyconsider the responsibility whichrests upon him to make absolutely
sure he does not start a forest firewith cigarettes, matches, camp-firesor other means. Remember—forest
fires help the enemy.
