We think of salvage as a civilian job, but it might interest you to know that the Army goes in for it in a big way, saving millions of dol­ lars annually. A recent National De­ fence report showed that 826,000 pairs of boots and shoes were re­ paired and restored to service. They operate a boot repairing plant which can produce 1,500 pairs each week, using uppers stripped from con­ demned boots. Articles scrapped and resold realized $410,351. Recondi­ tioned by contract, we noted, were damaged enamelware and galvanized utensils, including more than a thou­ sand boilers and twenty thousand jugs, bowls, mugs and plates.

As for potato acreage a five per cent increase is wanted for this year. Ontario, Mani­ toba and B.C. have each agreed to 10 per cent more acreage; Quebec and Alberta will aim for 5 per cent, the Maritimes with 1943 plantings greater than long-time average will maintain level of production, as will Saskatchewan ... An increase of nearly one-third over the 1943 out­ put in maple syrup and products is being asked, representing about three million gallons on a syrup basis . . . Marketings of lambs and sheep off Canadian farms and ranches in 1943 is also expected to be up 5 per cent over 1943 . . .

The dental health of Canadians ranks among the best in the world but it will be given a fillip after this war by the way our Dental Corps is looking after the men and women of the Armed Services. Over 1200 Canadian dentists are now serving with the Navy, Army and Air Force. Every sailor, soldier and air­ man is made dentally fit before going overseas or on active operations. And then a dental officer with his portable equipment and mobile den­ tal clinic goes with them wherever they go. Since the outbreak of "the war over ten and a half million dental operations have been com­ pleted. Order Certified Seed Potatoes Now Certified seed potatoes are being withheld from export to meet the re­ quirements of Canadian growers, but, the Plant Protection Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture points out, demand for these potatoes from other countries are very strong. Supplies not needed for planting in Canada should be re­ leased for export in March before the season in the U.S.A, is too far advanced for planting. This means that orders for certified seed pota­ toes should be placed without delay while supplies are still available. The planting of certified seed potatoes for table stock will give a heavier yield from each acre planted to such seed.

PHONE 500 One of the interesting people at the national meeting in Ottawa of the 14 Regional Consumer Branch chairmen of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board was Mrs. Cameron Dow, lately appointed rural advisor to the branch. She is national pre­ sident of the Federation of Women’s Institutes. Mrs. Dow in plain lang­ uage said: ‘‘If inflation is ever allowed to get hold in this country, we’re sunk. I remember what hap­ pened in the last war, and after. Even though we sold some of our stuff at a high price the things we had to buy were higher and in the long run we were worse off than before. That must not happen again.” Mrs. Dow proves her faith in the value of checking prices by by keeping accurate account of her purchases in her "Little Blue Book. National income is supposed to give a pretty good indication of the national walfare. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics points out that for eleven months of 1943 it showed an increase of 18.4 per cent— a total of $8,072,000,000—ovgr the similar period a year before. Pro­ duction and transport of munitions and war supplies were the main generators for this huge amount, putting it at the highest level in Canadian history. Coincident figures are interesting too. The index of mineral production upped a little but gold receipts and coal production declined. Manufacturing production index showed an increase of 21.5 per cent. There were advances in operations of flour milling, meat packing, and in the tobacco indus­ tries, with a recession in newsprint output and of steel and iron. And Canada’s domestic* and foreign ex­ ports hit the astounding figure of $3,001 million, three times that of the pre-war year 1938.
