Daniel presided at the regular meeting of the Town , Council on Monday evening with all members present ' A communication wra received • from G. Morello asking for renewal of licenses on ten amusement mach- :neii and two music boxes, accom­ panied by a cheque for 8365 to[ cover license fee. > Petitions were received from theI grocery section of the Retail Mer- • chants’ Association, with all the merchants in that section except two havingi their signatures attached, ■ asking for a bylaw governing the I time for selling groceries in Inger- • soil.

The Police Committee also rec­ ommended that the request of the Women’s Auxiliary to the Hospital Trust for a tag day on June 17, be granted. Councillor Dr. J. G. Murray asked if anything was being done in re­ gard to a reception committee to meet Ingersoll men who were re­ turning from overseas. | Mayor Daniel replied that nothing official had been done and possibly that was because of the fact that no notice of returning men had been received.Councillor Morrison suggested that the local Canadian Legion be con­ tacted and their co-operation and : advise obtained on this matter. Councillor Bower asked if it were possible that a by-law he had before i him governing the hours for retail sale of meats were the same as re- ; jected by the council earlier in the : year. The clerk said it was identical 1 with the previous wording. i Councillor Preston wanted to ] know if anything had been done to 1 give water service to the residents of ' Oxford Avenue. The mayor said that 1 nothing had been done since a for- ’ mer request when a shortage of pipe i had made it imperative that the mat- > ter be laid over for a while. ] All the committee reports were I adopted without objection or amend- < ment. On motion of Councillors Bower and Riley, the communication from ■ Mr. Morello was referred to the Fin­ ance Committee. Councillor Bower suggested that in view of the stand taken by the Attorney General re­ garding these machines it might be 1 better to discuss the affair in com- ' mittee before were made.

Reports from the local headquar- 1 ters of the VI Victory Loan to-day 1 show that the payroll objective is is rapidly becoming a reality. At closing time yesterday the amount raised by the Payroll Plan had ’ reached $127,000. The general canvas* was given a boost on Tuesday with the announce­ ment that the Town of Ingersoll would subscribe $75,000 to this effort. Arrangements were made by Mayor Daniel, Town Clerk McNiven and Chairman H. T. Bower of the Finance Committee on authority of the Municipal Council. In this de­ partment, the total subscribed at closing time was $130,700, exclusive of the town’s subscription. It will be necessary for much more enthusiasm to be exemplified and practical effort put into force to reach the objective set for Ingersoll. Of the $510,000 to be raised, $140,000 is classified as Payroll Sav­ ings Plan, leaving $360,000 for gen­ eral subscription. All the salesmen are bending every effort to getting their quota up to the 100% mark and with the situation in the theatres of war be­ coming more critical it is the duty of every Canadian to buy bonds to the limit of his ability.

The work of the boys and girls, under the direction of J. E. West local "Y” secretary, deserved high praise for their exhibition. Each number was loudly applauded and a number of the offerings were en­ cored so persistently that they were repeated. , The grace, precision and attention I to the commands of the leader were outstanding. It was thought by many that the performance was better than in the previous two years. An enjoyable touch especially for 1 the younger element in the audience, ; was the antics of the small clowns assisting In the pyramids and other gymnastics of the boys’ groups. R. A. Stone of the local Y.M.C.A. board of directors, was chairman and introduced each number • with the assistance of Roy Martinell as trum­ peter. A. G. Murray, principal of Vic­ tory Memorial School, spoke briefly on behalf of the Board of Education and paid high tribute to the work being carried on by Mr. West among the youth of Ingersoll. A great deal of credit is also due Miss Muriel Parker who presided at the pi$no for the entire programs. Her sympathetic accompaniments for the seventeen numbers on the pro­ gram, many of them encored, did much to make the entire showing a most successful one. The music used for the variety numbers was espec­ ially well-chosen. The costumes of the girls in two numbers, a dance by the senior girl leaders, white dresses with red and green belts and pom poms, was one of the most, beautiful numbers on the program, and the club drill ex­ ercise by the senior girl leaders, was particularly pretty. The very fine showing in the num­ bers such as parallel bars by the senior boys’ leaders, tumbling by the prep leaders, dumb bell drill by grade six boys, vaulting horse and : spring board by junior leaders, par­ allel bars and spring board by in­ termediate leaders, free hand drill by grade seven boys, pyramids by ’ grade eight boys and wand drill by. 1 Anglican Boy Scouts were all splen­ didly done. A lovely number was the solo, : “Ramona”, by Mrs. Harold Uren, in 1 a most attractive costume, followed 1 by a dance by a number of the girls ’ in pretty flowered skirts and white blouses, which was outstanding. Other numbers on the program : were a parade and march to open 1 the program; club drill by the Angli- 1 can Girl Guides; games and marches by the Anglican Brownies and theclarionet quartettes given by Stephen ’ Brady, Norman Cooper, Ron Mark- ] ham and Alan Waring of the Inger- 1 soil Y’smen’a Boys’ Band with Mrs. 1 Gordon Petrie at the piano. * The closing number on the pro- gram was the march and drill by 2 grade eight girls, and in their pretty ’ blue gymnasium costumes they pre- j sented a most attractive appearance. ( The intricacies of their march and 1 drill were fully appreciated by the ‘ large audience. The number was en- ‘ thusiastically applauded. * 1 On Friday evening, presentations 1 were .made to Mr. West and Miss ; Parker, by-the performers. ’ Word has been received here of the parsing of a former well kaown and highly respected resident at Long Branch, California, in the per­son of Sarah Ann Wilson, widow of the late A.

NEW ARMY DEVICE HELPS SOLDIERSSHOOT STRAIGHT The Swift training rifle shown above, developed for the pur­ pose of teaching recruits how to shoot, is a device designed in Can­ ada and used solely by Canadians. The muscle of the rifle is within an inch of the target and when the trigger is squeezed a little arrow pierces the target and shows just where the recruit was aiming. The instructor can thus accurately determine if the recruit is tilting the rifle, aiming incorrectly or ‘pulling' the trigger. It has proven a valuable training aid and while it looks as if everyone should hit the bull from such Close range, the bull corresponds to one at 25 yards. These pictures were taken at the Prince Albert training centre, commanded by Lieut.-Col. F. Thompson. Pointing out features of the rifle is <C.Q.M.S. A. M. Mackie, Saskatoon. —(Canadian Army Photo..)

DORCHESTER Ample PotatoesAre Now AvailableFor All Purpose*"Sprinir is here again linrt those who l»v«> the noil are anxious to again feel the warmth of th* iOrxxl earth, Soon the gna will lie green, i trees will be m leaf and flowers blooming. People will be preparing garden* and fields with the same hope of harvest as in previous years. Everywhere the signa of nature will be coining to life and the aong of giadnesa from every bird will fill the air!" Thus spoke R. E. Goodin, Fieldman, Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, Ontario Department of Agri­ culture, when addressing the mem­ bers of the North Toronto Kiwanis Club at a dinner under the direction of their Agricultural Committee in Eglington Masonic Hall, “What a contrast is in our midst," the speaker continued. “The noise of machines working at full speed to make munitions of war—people hurrying to wartime work—soldiers marching—aeroplanes passing over- head—the atmosphere and noise of battle with its destruction and death. All this devised by man, and in its midst, silently and surely, nature is changing the face of the earth by the things that grow from it, and we are again being' assured of the previous provision of wholesoom- food "The speaker briefly reviewed theagricultural situation and referredto the magnificent contribution whichfarmers had already made to thewar effort in spite of many handi­ caps. In discussing th' potato situation, assurance was given that consumer* would not suffer a potato shortage similar to last year, for estimates of stocks in storage now amount to 45‘A more than at the time a year ago. This should provide ample sup­ plies for both seed and table use, the speaker declared. An objective of 10'z increase in Ontario potato production has been set for this year. Given favourable weather conditions, Ontario potato growers will again produce large quantities of nutritious and econom­ ical energy food, for which demands have been constantly on the increase during recent years. Machinery Rationing Although factory output of farm machinery will be considerably greater than in 1943, rationing of farm machinery is still necessary, because the output will be only 80 per cent of the normal production and not nearly enough to fill all farm demands. Production of repair parts is 156 per cent of normal. CULLODENMrs. M. T. Burn of Windsor,sptmt Friday evening and Saturdaylast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wil­liam Alabastine.Mrs. D.

Mak e your atew by one <rf the Hated recipe*. Then top it with potato puff. The potato puff is made from maxhed potatoes. You need three cup* full. Add the beaten yolks of two eggs, and enough hot milk to moisten it, along with two table- ■peons of fat, and any seasoning you like, such as a bit of oniop or par­ sley. Beat the mixture well. Fold in stiffly beaten whites of the eggs •nd pile the puff on top of the stew. Bake in • moderate oven until it is brown. And here is something else you can do with these delicious potatoes. Put the puff in a greased baking dish and bake it separately. Serve it with meat loaf or an omelet. You can probably think of other combinations that would be good too. MEAT PIE FILLING 3-4 pound hamburg steak 3 teaspoons salt Few grains pepper 1-2 cup tomatoes 6 small carrots, sliced 1-2 cup peas 3 large potatoes, diced 3 onions Grease the casserole Add one layer of the meat, flaked with a fork. Sprinkle with part of the salt and pepper. Add some pieces of the vegetables and continue to within an inch of the top of the casserole. Use enough ^of the vegtables to fill the space; distribute the meat and seasonings well. Pack lightly so there will be space for them to expand as they cook. The tomatoes and the natural meat anu vegetable juices will provide sufficient moisture. Serve as soon as baked. It is simply delicious. Bake in electric oven at 330*.

When part of the fat has dried out, add the cubes of meat and brown the surface, stirring con­ stantly to prevent burning. Put this meat, with the melted fat in which it was browned, into the stew kettle. Add enough boiling water to cover the meat or a pint of tomatoes, stewed and strained, and simmer on electric element until the meat is ender (about three hours). The carrots and turnips are to be added during the last hour of coaklng, and the potatoes twenty minutes before serving time. - PORK PIE 2 or three pounds thick end of •loin of pork 1 cup stock or water Salt and pepper 1 or 2 tablespoons catsup Parsley, onion or celery.

Use 2 tablespoons less of all­ purpose flour to substitute for each cup of pastry flour called for in a recipe. 2: Blend in lard or hydrogenated fat until the mixture is mealy. Fat should be finely blended with all­ purpose, whereas it should be only blended with pastry or cake flouruntil it is the size of coarse oatmeal. 3. Add water quickly-and lightly. Every unnecessary stroke tends to make pastry tough. 4. Chill thoroughly in a coveredbowl. “You call this a quiet place?

Fire Department Get Eight Calls At Week-End The Ingersoll Fire Department have had another series of calls dur­ ing the week-end with seven runs between Friday and Monday. It is probable that the rainy spell put a stop to some of the grass fires for a few days, but Friday and Satur­ day brought dry weather and subse­ quent fire calls. On Friday afternoon, the brigade went to Charles street east, near Clark’s Service Station to extinguish a grass fire. While there they were called to the home of Ed. Iles, Can­ terbury street, where a grass fire had gotten out of control and en­ dangered a barn. Saturday a grass fire on an old car lot on Mutual stree got into the cars with damage of about $600 resulting. The same afternoon a roof Are at the residence of Mrs. Vallee.John street, called for attention, to be followed by a grass fire on Ox­ ford Avenue.

J. E. MoCague, Alliston. Starting her record-breaking lac­tation at four years and 220 days old, “Patsy”, produced 24,466 lbs. milk containing 1,163 lbs., butterfat in 365 days, average test 4.75 per cent. The former champion was Montvic Bonhcur Hartog, a close re­ lative of “Patsy” who made her rec­ ord of 1,153 lbs. fat from 24,248 lbs. milk at Mount Victoria Farms, Hud­ son Heights, Quebec, in 1940. It is interesting to note that both animals were, when their records were made, under the personal care of Mort Butchers, former herd superinten­ dent at Mount Victoria, who now occupies the same position at Glen­afton. “Patsy” is not only a champion producer but is also a topnotch cow. Last fall she was chosen as all-Can- adian four-year-old after standing first in her class at the Oakville championship show. Although a cow of great size (she weighs close to a ton), she has marked refinement, as exemplified by her clean cut head, neck and shoulders and general dairy appearance throughout. She carries a heavy veined udder, level and well attached. An eiger feeder, she was never off her feed and went to pas­ ture daily with the rest of the herd while htr record was in progress.

L NOTES Twenty-five students af Ingersoll Collegiate have signified their inten- t:on of participating in the farm ■work thia spring and summer. While -one have left for the camps oper­ ated by the Ontario Farm Service Force, a goodly number are working '■n their parents’ or neighbours' farms. This is a happy arrangement. The regulations of the Department of Education insist, this year, that a student remain at school until he actually begins his farm service, thus, no time is lost from school while he waits for his employment to begin. It is necessary for a student to complete a minimum of thirteen weeks to secure standing. Two stu­ dents. Jack Butler and Kenneth Conibear left during the Easter holidays for enlistment in the R.C.A.F. and the Army respectively. The following students have left to begin farm service: David Bowes at Forest; William Breen at home; Wallis Hammond at home: Jean j Daniel at Fenwick; Evelyn Walker at Fenwick; Monte Town at home; Glen Allen at Putnam; Keith Tuff­ nail at home; and Paula Duffy at home.

Canadian Army Shows Popular With Overseas Men Canadians overseas have been more enthusiastic about the Canad­ ian Army Shows than any other en­ tertainment they have seen yet, Ed. Otter, senior Y.M-C.A. supervisor overseas, reports to his Canadian headquarters. “Our only complaint, he says, is that many halls are not large enough to accommodate crowds wanting to see the shows.” Some of the shows had attend­ ances of over 1.000, and two units brought men in from practice man- eouvers to attend. “Canadian talent shows are a big morale booster, and the men talk about them for days," says the supervisor. Dances are held by Canadian YMCA War Services supervisors for men in isolated units as well as in settled areas. Girls come from miles around to attend Forestry Corps dances. They either walk, bicycle, or travel in any conveyance that can be fbund. In February 87 dances were held for isolated unite with total attendance of 18,835. In February, Canadian YMQA supervisors, overseas distributed among servicemen, 2,327,000 pieces of ^stationery, 7,000 postcards, 99 -bundles of magazines, 3,218 books and 500 pocket calendars. On behalf of the Overseas League, 5,638,030 cigarettes were pusred out.

EBENEZER Salvage is in Great Demand For War Jobs Duplicate Bridge Club 30,000 Trees Being Set In Re Forestation Plan Warden Eichenberg, on his elect­ ion to the wardenship of Oxford, expressed a desire for some reforest­ ation plans in the county. Last week it was announced that 100 acres of land had been bought in Blandford been procured for planting on this land.Workmen have started to plow and prepare the land and it is plan­ ned to plant the entire 100 acres. This is the first large plot of jg-ound to be used by Oxford County for re­ forestation althought they have a smaller plot of eight acres near Zenda that was planted in 1939. The planting of 30,000 trees is a big job as explained by the fact that two men can plant about one acre per day. Some of the land is low and will be planted with spruce and jack:pines while on the upper ground red pine, white pine, and a few black cheYry trees will be set out. John Mitchell who has had considerable experience in reforestation, has been hired as foreman in charge and far­ mers and laborers from the Innerkip district will be hired to help in the undertaking. A committee of the, County Coun­ cil, composed of Reeve Elton Town­ send, Reeve John Chesney, County Clerk L. K. Coles and Agricultural representative G. R. Green, in co­ operation with the district forester, I. C. Marritt, visited the property and decided what trees should be planted. * Baptist Choir Entertained By Rev, and Mrs, McLean Rcv^and Mrs..G. A. McLean were host and .hostess on Thursday even­ ing at the parsonage to members of the choir of the Ingersoll Baptfct Church when a most delightful soc­ ial evening was spent Following a a most profitable rehearsal by thelarge number present, a pleasant social .time was spent and delicious refreshments served by the host and hostess. Before dispersing, all expressed thanks to Rev. and Mrs. McLean for their generous hospitality. Monday and Tuesday of this week, a great amount of salvage was col­ lected under the direction of Chair­ man E. H. Albrough of the local Salvage Committee. This collection was one of the best as far as mater­ ial is concerned. The need for waste paper is even greater and the Department of National War Services is planning on conducting an intensive waste paper drive on a national scale. In a circular sent out by the de­ partment, the seriousness of the situ­ ation is outlined. The mills require 20,000 tons of waste paper per month and is therefore an essential part of the war effort on the home front. Paper containers are doing a big job in the war and many uses are now being made of what formerly merely protected goods from scuff­ ing or .breakage. To-day paper containers have been designed for the following use: To be thrown overboard for land­ ing operations, floating to shore or sinking to the bottom to be recovered The Ingersoll Duplicate Bridge Club held their regular meeting on Monday evening.

Large Buck Deer FoundDead in Thames RiverA large buck deer, believed tohave been dead for a couple ofmonths, was taken from the Thamesriver, a short distance west of theUpper Dam, by Game Overseer Ed. Meadows, of Woodstock, last week. The animal had been observed tn the water by a resident on the east ride of the town and Chief Constable Callander was informed, who in turn notified Oversew Meadows. There was nothing to indicate ho*the an mal^met ita death. There was an injury to the loft- front leg, which might have been caused by being eaught tn a wire fence and Game Overseer Meadows stated that the animal may have been chased by dogs or have broken through the ice and became unable to free itself. The animal was caught on a limb of a tree and to release it Game Overseer Meadows found it necessary to wade into the river and use a pole to pull it to shore. The water in which the animal was held fast was said to be about six or seven feet deep and Mr. Meadows was only able to get within six feet of it, where the water was about three feet deep. The animal was immediately turned over to the fertilizer plant Overseer Meadows'was on the look­ out for dogs that were believed to be running deer. He was notified that dogs were causing considerable commotion about two miles west of town in swamp area and that there was a possibility they were chasing deer. In the course of a thorough in­ vestigation the game overseer failed to see either the dogs or a deer. He appreciated the fact that citizens of the district were interested in the protection of deer and stated that complaints that they were being mo­ lested would receive prompt atten­ tion.

The only reasons why such actions are being taken are that there are suffic­ient numbers of trained air crew for the expansion of all squadrons in Britain, that there is an actual sur­ plus of pilots, and t hat last year alone about 39,000 air crew were trained as well as about 41,000 this year, with about 92,000 air crew having been trained in addition to 5,000 in the R.A.F. schools prior to their becoming part of the larger or­ ganization. “But I hope it will not be forgotten that at the present time we have a surplus,” said Canada’s Air Minister in part. “We are still producing at peak capacity, or prac­ tically so, .and shall be doing so up to the end of 1944.” Then he stated significantly: “We have all the re­ placements required. We have all the men we need for 1914 and wi;h what is produced in 1944 we shall have the men required for 1945 and I presume with the backlog of that accumulation we shall have all the men for 1946." ferred to the courts, urging that a divorce court should be established for this purpose. Then he nt-marked in humour that, if the Ptiin-/Minister would read the book on divorce by the British writer, A. R. Herbert, it might convert him to Mr. Hanson’s viewpoint. “It might encourage him to get married,” interjected Gordon Graydon, the present House lender of the Official Opposition. “That is hopeless at his time of life," contin­ ued Hon. R. B. Hanson, “It is only the old widowers who get married at his time of life. Perhaps they have mere courage than discretion." (Reproduction Prohibited.) nner, Mrs. E. H.i.

GRANT SMALL, Representative, INGERSOLL H ave YOU thou g ht John Adair Passes Away At Windsor PUTNAM It is held in Ottawa that this coun­ try will have a merchant marine as well as a shipbuilding industry after this War that will be in a strong competitive position. This has been the view expressed by the Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply, who added among other things that “an aggressive policy of salesmanship will keep our yards busy.” A former well-known and esteemed resident of Ingersoll passed* away at Windsor on Friday, in the person of John Adair, in his 80th year. He was born in Ingersoll and was a familiar figure to many of the older resi­ dents. He had resided in Windsor for the past 15 years. The late Mr. Adair is survived byone sister, Mrs. F. A. Ackertflwilliam street, Ingersoll. 9 The funeral was held from the Fred S. Newman Funeral Home, on Monday afternoon to the Ingersoll Rural Cemetery, for temporary ’en­ tombment. The service was con­ ducted at two o'clock, by Rev. H. E. Merifield, rector of St. James’ Angli­ can Church. The pall bearers were Harry G. McMulkin, Frank McMulkin, Law­ rence Pickard, D, E. iDeamude, S. A. Gibson and Alex. Yule. The Putnam Aid otxUiritain Club are having a salvage daiye betweenMay 1st and May 10th.

Residence, 285 WeilMwn Street Remember too. that the victorious nations will be poorer after the war. Britain has Jost her foreign invest­ ments, Europe will be paralyzed. Japan will not have the capacity to produce which enabled her in some years to buy substantial volumes of commodities in Canada. We are to enter an era of controlled prices in which Canadian farmers are to get higher reward than they previously received. They are to get it in an age when the world is poorer than in pre­ war days, when productive capacity has been destroyed by the tragedy of war, materials have been wasted, men and women, in the conquered countries, and sometimes in the vic­ torious countries, are suffering from a condition where the mind is incap­ able of directing and the body unable to provide the vitality for construct­ ive effort. to the volume of trade and to the balance of payment. Consider very carefully that singu­ larly lucid sentence. It tells more than many a Hansard volume, more than most reports on social security. Let us apply it to Canada. If Can­ adian export prices are high it will be with consequent damage to the volume of exports—that is, our total volume of exports will decline be­ cause the people of an impoverished world will not be able to purchase so much, and so there will be fewer men employed in Canada producing farm products and- there will be fewer men employed producing manufac­ tured product* and we shall be driven back more and more toward living within ourselves and th? pro­ cess may not be a particularly happy one! The Economist goes on to say: It is, of course, by no means in the British interest to ruin the prim­ ary producers of the world. On the contrary higher incomes among primary producers means better mar­ kets for British goods. But it is most emphatically in the British interest to insist that those higher incomes shall be provided by greater effic­ iency, higher productivity per man, in the primary producing countries, MOUNT ELGIN A pleasant time was spent on Wednesday afternoon of last week at ■Det us turn for a moment to an ju. aannaallyyssiiss ooff ttnhiiss ssiittuuaattiioonn vw. hniicchn aapp-- ’peared recently in the London Econ- nmiat Anti nf wncf r> mi nr* nt 'Rrit- 'Our Famii Regulat r ; DR. Ch iSE’S “7,IS PILLS omist, one of the most eminent Brit­ ish publications. A quotation or two may perhaps bring us back to real­ ities: In postwar Britain, struggling to keep up the national standard of liv­ ing, it will be essential to keep the terms of trade as favorable as poss­ ible. No othetf single factor,, in the early years, will so strongly influence the standard of consumption that it will be possible to provide. What is meant by the “terms of trade” in this connection? It refers to the relationship between the price at which the country buys its imports and the price at which it sells its ex­ ports. The Economist goes on to say: If the prices of food and mater­ ials are high, then either—(now note this carefully)—real wages will have to be low, with consequent damage to the standard of living, or else British export prices will have to be high, with consequent damage and not by the artificial maintenance of high prices. Then follows this statment: There is no magic way by which we can get richer, or get anything but poorer, if we have to work harder for our food and materials. The ratio betweeno nn hour of Brit­ ish work and a ton of imports is a factor as basic to economic policy as the ratio of thermal efficiency is to the engineer. In all discussions of commodity regulation schemes, it is essential to remember that the in­ terest of the United Kingdom is that of a consumer. And the British rep­ resentatives can the more confidently insist on low prices through greater efficiency because they will be pleading the cause of worldwide economic expansion. I repeat, in the opinion of the Ec­ onomist, with a century of experi­ ence behind it. “British representa­ tives can the more confidently insist on low prices through greater effic­ iency because they will be, pleading the cause of world-wide 'economic expansion.” The case is obvious. Then may I ask why we should do the opposite, that is, Why seek world­ wide economic contraction—when Canada, more than any- other coun­ try, needs world-wide economic ex­ pansion?

DANIEL, — By Jim Greenblat — An interesting sidelight on price control is one which crops up in the annual report of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and which we pass on as food for thought, not propa­ ganda. Just how do family budgets fare when war hits this country? In this house-wives are directly concern­ ed. Without a control organization daring the last war, consumers found that in March, 1919, it took 31.54 to buy what one dollar bought in 1914. Today, with price control, it only takes $1.18 to buy what a dol­ lar bought in 1939. Each taxpayer’s share in the operation costs of this government Board amounts to about 10 cents a month. Total administra­ tive expenditures from April 1st to December 31st, 1943, were $9,901.- 439. Canadian householders will be able to toast their toes in comfort next winter if they co-operate as they did last, says Canada’s coal controller, who has given out a ten­ tative forecast of what you can ex­ pect for the 1944-45 heating season. Canada will get about the same amount of U.S. anthracite as last year, but incoming Welsh coal will show a reduction and mayoe they’ll have to divert some U.S. anthracite, normally used in Ontario and Que­ bec, to the Maptimes for consumers whose equipment is not suitable for burnin/ Maritime coal. Supplies of Canadian and U.S. coke will be about the same, but lower quantities of low volatile bituminous (Pocahontas type) in household sizes,, is pre­ dicted. In New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P.E.I., enough Maritime coal will be handy for those using bituminous and sufficient anthracite and coke will be available to tide them over the colder months of the year.• • • With the final estimates out now for the 1942 wheat crop of Canada, a lot of folks will be surprised to know that it wasn’t the biggest crop in history ever produced in Canada, but second best, for in 1928 the total, harvest was 566,726,000 bush­ els.

It proved so successful in immobilizing germs of air-borne diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, scarlet­ fever, tonsilitis, mumps, that Respir­ atory Diseases dropped 50 to 65 per cent. This should have far reaching effects in peace-time preventative measures. “R.D.” casualties in Can­ adian military hospitals in Canada alone, have been averaging 35,000 a year, costing the taxpayer about nine million dollars annually. In 1942 alone the loss to the army amounted to 500,000 man-days, enough to fight the whole Canadian part of the Sicilian campaign and 200,000 man- days left over. • • • Full time sugar rations are not coming back immediately after the war, according to Sir William Rook, British sugar controller who was in Canada conferring with Wartime Prices and Trade Board officials re­ cently. The view that all that is lack­ ing is enough shipping space to trans­ port sugar, he takes as erroneous. He warns that world supplies of sugar are so short that the present supply is insufficient to meet essen­ tial needs without strict rationing.• • • Whenever you see bananas these days—we said, whenever—you can rest assured there is a ceiling price on them.

Employers subject to Wartime Wages Control Order have to establish a new wage rate inclusive of the cost of living bonus previously paid, commencing with the first payroll after or on February 15 last. These same are also re­ quired to pay a cost of living bonus of 60 cents a week starting with first payroll on or after August 15, 1942, to adult male employees and other employees earning $25 or more a week and 2,4*70 of the weekly wage rate to male minors and female em­ ployees receiving less than $25 a week; and that beginning with first payroll on or after November 15, 1943, it became obligatory for em­ ployers to increase this bonus to 95 cents a week or 3.8% of the weekly wage rate.• • • What happens to all the men ex­ amined for military duty?

Where did it all go to? W’e found the analysis to be approximately this: The United Kingdom got $110,- 362,000 in supplies that month; to Italy went $25,350,000; China, $3,- 611,000; British India, $6,939,000; British South Africa, $2,703,000, Egypt, $9,565,000 and Russia, $2,- 968,000.

The Countryman—“Down here, sir. we make it a rule to go to bed with the ehfkkens." The Britisher—Er - - Don’t you find it beastly unhealthy?" Home Furnishing* — By Claire Martin —- Come what may in the way of new furniture features and styling, there’s every indication that Can­ adian women are going to favor the continuance, “as is,” of at least three time-honored items — the grandfather elock, the four-poster bed, and the dressing table with the big broad mirror. That, at least, is the contention of one Canadian manufacturer who is head of a bus­ iness that’s been a family affair for decades. “The grandfather clock has never drifted out of favor” he sal’s. “The demand has been consistent and good. Right now, people, are just as eager for those clocks as ever. And as for the four-poster bed—well the demand for them is so great that it’s simply more than we can cope with; it’s terrific. This manufacturer claims that: furniture styles and trends* run in cycles. “This tendency to change every seven years is an absolute fact,” he insists. “For instance, this war broke out just near the end of a period during which relatively conservative styles and finishes had been in vogue. Yet In spite of the effects of the war, on supplies and available man­ power we can already see the trend toward lighter finishes,, greater stream-lining, and more functional design. And in the future we may see a trrfid toward an entirely new type of furniture again. But—through any of all changes, this man insists that the grand­ father clock, the four-poster bed and the big-mirrored dressing table will pass relatively unchanged.
