in 1851, it was established in Canada
at Montreal. The national council
was organized in 1912 and there
are now 79 permanent Y.M.C.A cen

adian YJf.C.A. serving Canadian
Naval ratings, Soldiers, Airmen and
Merchant Naty personnel at 635
points on this side of the Atlantic

THE CANADIAN
RED CROSS SOCIETY
DISTRICT LEADERS TO BE
AVAILABLE DURING SUMMER
The value of the expert care given
by a registered nurae to a patient
who is seriously ill cannot be over
estimated. But the Red Cross be
lieves that there is a great need for
women in their own homo to be
equipped to provide simple and com
petent nursing care.
It is with this thought in mind
that, a little more than two years
ago, the Emergency (Nursing) Re
serve was formed by the Ontario Di
vision of Red Cross. Training which
the Reserve offers prepares women
to take care of their families in case
of illness, or to help a neighbor who
needs assistance in case of sickness.
There is danger of epidemic after
every war, when soldiers who have
of the 200 eoarmunltiea where thereare Reserves. It 1* hoped soon tohave an Emergency Reserve in everyRed Cron Branch area in Ontario;'such groups to carry on in a publieh»alth program in the post war period. During the months of July andAugust, district leaders will beavailable to visit Branches allthrough Ontario, and may be contacted through Mrs. A. C. McKen

Although^ the production of bran,
shorts, and middlings has been of
record volume during the current
crop year, supplies are disappearing
faster than they can be made, states
the Canadian Coarse Grains Quar
terly Review. The domestic ultiliz-
ation plus exports during the first
eight months of the crop year 1943-
44 exceeded the production in this
period by almost 6,000 tons, the dif
ference coming out of small stocks
on hand at the beginning of the
season.
Exports are possible only under
permit and have been held down to
less than 5 per cent of production.
Export* amounted to only 27,000
tons during the eight months ended
March, 1944, while domestic disap
pearance in the same period totalled
nearly 528,000 tons. The bulk of
the domestic consumption can be
traced to the five Eastern Provinces.
The benefits of the Dominion
Freight Assistance Policy apply to

Every citizen of Ontario must face the

For four years, Canada has been a "store

continue to fulfil heavy obligations to
them. But the surpluses in the store
house are gone. They must be replen
ished. Otherwise, Canadians on the

cast, and use only the faintest color

whites, beiges and browns, with an
occasional well-chosen pastel will
dress up your summer tan.
Dos t Bleach White Rayon*
If you choose white rayons for
crisp summer dresses and playtogs,
you won’t need to bleach them or
fuss with them to keep them white.
With ordinary care in washing,
they’ll keep that ice cream look
they had the day you bought them.
Unlike silk or wool or even cotton,
■white rayon doe* not yellow or turn

the new crease-resistant white rayon
frocks will be a handy addition to
any wardrobe. You can launder it as
often as you like in gentle, fine-
fabric suds and have it come up for
street or business looking fresh as
mint and twice as cool. This is also
a tip for those who prefer white
slips, because it means that if things
are made of rayon there’s no need
to worry about keeping them a good
colour.

dren over strawberry ice cream. If
it’s homemade you have all the
glory. We’re including two good
frozen desserts in the column.
Now when it comes to strawberry
shortcake; don’t be hidebound by
tradition; We admit that there prob
ably is nothing better than the old-
fashioned version—warm, light-as-a
feather biscuits, split and heaped
with crushed, sweetened berries—
but a slice of delicious butter cake
makes a pleasant change. And in
stead of the usual cream, serve with
whipped cream or whipped cheese.
In your enthusiasm for strawberry
shortcake, don’t neglect strawberry
pie. Our favourite is made this way:
Select the choicest berries from one
quart box and cover the bottom of a
baked pie shell. Crush remaining
berries and heat to scalding point;
strain through cheesecloth; add water
to make two cups liquid. Blend two-
thirds cup sugar with one-quarter
cup cornstarch; add liquid and cook
in double boiler until thickened; add
one tablespoon lemon juice, one lea-
spoon butter and a few drops of red
colouring; cool then pour over ber
ries in pie shell. Serve with a little
whpiped cream or whipped cheese.
If you want to make a similar pie
Hello Homemakers! Strawberries
are the star of the berry family.
They are perishable though and
should be treated wisely. Use straw
berries as soon as possible after
gathering or purchasing, and don't
wash or hull them until just before
using. It is wise to spread the ber
ries on a platter and keep in the
electric refrigerator.
No need to mention the delight
of strawberries served ‘au nature!'
whole, unhulled berries served

HINTS OF SERIOUS
DELIBERATIONS
It can be reported now that Prem
ier Mackenzie King and his Cabinet
have beer, extremely busy ever since
the Prime Minister’s return from
abroad and that usually well-in
formed quarters in the capital have
hinted that they have much to con
sider or to tate counsel together at
this crucial time, especially when it
has been born in mind that, in face
of all news which has already been
disclosed by Canada's Prime Minister
about his recent vital work or im
portant consultations overseas, yet
there has been an impression along
Parliament Hill that the head of the
Canadian Government could not
possibly have been able at this mo
mentous time to reveal to the man-
in-the-street throughout the ocuntry
absolutely everything in detail about
the whole story of what ‘Jjnside in
formation” he had obt^ned and
what effects this may hay on events
TEMPORARILY POSTPONED
The important irtemahonal <*•*-
feronce of the "United Nation* Re
lief and Rehabilitation Administra
tion”, which was scheduled to be held
in this country in June, was post
poned indefinitely on account of the
special restrictions in effect tempor
arily on international travel and
communications This has been made
known at the same time when it was
also stated that this conference
would be held at the Windsor Hotel
in Montreal at a future date which
was to be determined by the “United
Nation’s Retief and Rehabilitation

the Canadian Government as soon as
the restrictions had been terminated.

BETTER BALANCE
In view^of the widespread com

stressed here at this time that, while
the purchase of Canadian securities
by United States citizens or the pur
chase of wheat and other commodi
ties by the United States Govern
ment had raised the amount of the
United States money beyond Can
ada's immediate needs at times, yet
this surplus United States money

extent in order to pay for airports
and other war facilities constructed
by United States in Canada that the
balance of American money here
became smaller recently than at the
start of the war. Furthermore, it
must also be mentioned, if misun
derstanding is to be avoided, that
Canada has never received “lend-
lease” aid from the United States,
though Canada has actually spent
more than <2,000,00(1,000 for war
supplies which were sent as gifts to
the United Nationas and this amount
would be equal to <24,000,000,000
of United States “lend-lease” on the
basis of the relative proportion of
populations in Canada and the Uni
ted States.
EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
The Federal Government’s Em
ployment Service had placed 1,944,-
026 persons last year under Select
ive Service, and, of the 99,453 per
sons interviewed under its compul
sory transfer order, 15,359 were
transferred, with very few persons
in that category offering any ob
jections to a change in occupation.
PERSISTENT COMMENTS
In regard to the widespread pub
licity accompanying the comments
and persistent criticisms on the sub
ject, it can be reported at this time
that usually well-informed quarters
backstage along Parliament Hill have
not been surprised in any way by the
expressisons of Premier Mackenzie
King's views on foreign policy or
consultations within the Empire
either at the last gathering of the
British Commonwealth Prime Mini
sters or afterwards since he had
always taken a somewhat strong
stand on the sovereign role to be
played by Canada in the British
Commonweath in particular and in
the world in general. It had been
known along Parliament Hill for a
long time that he did not favour the
formation of an Empire "bloc” on
the international scene, nor the crea
tion of certain permanent diplomatic
methods of common decision between
the component parts of the Empire
under certain 'circumstances. More
over, lately when a request was
ma’dc in the House * of Commons in
Ottawa to print in Canadian Hansard
Premier King’s history-making dec
larations in Empire relations before
both Houses of British Parliament,
which was the first time a Canadian
Prime Minister had addre®ed, the
spokesman for the Government on
that occasion indicated that this could
not be done since these famous dec
larations were made outside of the
Canadian Parliament.
QUESTIONS ABOUT HIGH
SALARY ,
- The salary, of <10,000 a year paid
to John Grierson of the National
Film Board, has been questioned in
the House of Commons In Ottawa
and the question was asked why this
official received <0,000 a year before
he becalhe head of the Wartime In
formation Board where he was-paid
<10,000 a year, returning later to
CURTIN ADDRESSES JOINT SESSION
At the invitation of Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King, the
Right Hon. John Curtin, Prime Minister of Australia, recently visit
ed Ottawa on his way back from the Imperial Conference in Lon
don. Highlight of his visit was an address before a joint session of
the Canadian Senate and the House of Commons. This photograph
was taken during Mr. Curtin’s speech in the House of Commons
Chamber.
the National Film Board at this last
mentioned higher salary, though the
actual work of this Board was praised
and the belief was expressed that
the Federal Government should be
ready to pay 115,000 to <20,000 a
year “if necessary*’ to a good pers
on who could properly publicize this
country to Canadians and the rest
of the world. However, the Minister
of National War Services, Hon.
Major General L. R. LaFIeche, ex
plained this matter by stating that
Mr. Grierson had received <10,000 a
year before he became head of the

Trade and Commerce Minister
McKinnon told the House of Com
mons that he expects Canadian trade
to go well over the *5 billion mark,
quite s jump over last year’s record
figure. That takea In exports and
imports, of course. But the balance
in our favour will be substantial be
cause for the first four months of
this year it was just under half a
billion dollars which is about double
the corresponding period last year.
The largest balance of trade against
us was with the UJS.A. This totalled

while a year ago it was *101,200,-

Note for houewives: The Con
sumer Branch at Ottawa says that
housewives are confusing meat price
charts with meat cutting charts.
Some of the women are not aware
that there are two kinds of eharts,
while others have forgotten all
about price charts since the suspen
sion of meat rationing. Shoppers are
reminded that butchers are still dis
playing price charts for feef, lamb
and veal. The beef price ehart, with
strips of figures attached, gives the
ceiling price for every cut of beef
the butcher may sell, and the same
thing holds true for veal and lamb.
The good housewife will study them
so she'll know what she’s buying
and what price she should be pay
ing^ By the way, this year there is
a price ceiling on both Canadian-
grown and imported raspberries and
strawberries. This will ensure a sup
ply of these berries at prices consid
erably lower than those charged last
year.

comparison cattle marketings in the
months of March 1938 were 83,000
head; in March 1944, 101,000 head.
Owing to the unexpectedly heavy
slaughter of hogs in our exporting
plants during the first three months
of this year, the Meat Board has
been able to report phenomenal pro
gress in the export contract with
Britain. We’ve reached the half-way

The local industrial plants have
been given showings of safety pic
tures during the past week. Mr. A.
Grosz, of the National Film Board,
has visited the various factories and
presented the films, "Front Line
Salamaua’*, a picture depicting some
war scenes on the Pacific front and
bringing out the necessity of keep
ing up production of war materials..
In the accident prevention film
“We’re on the Spot”, an intelligent
discussion of the simple origin of
accidents is presented.
The necessity for cleanliness of a
floor in a factory is stressed and the
keeping of the place to work tidy,
is an important factor in accident
prevention. The absurdity of ham
mering a nail with a wrench or
other tool, is likened to trimming
fingernails with a buzz saw. Every
tool has a specific purpose. The
necessity of protection for the eyes
as well as protection of the hair
where female labor is concerned, are
shown. A cap or kerchief are not
only advocated, but demanded by the
Workmen's Compensation Board.
The immediate care of a cut or
wound is advocated as a means.of
lessening the danger .of infection
that may lead to hospitalization.
The loss of time occasioned by acci
dents is a big factor in war time
and overy care should be exercised
to avoid accidents in industrial
plants.
The showing of the films takes
about 25 minutes and Mr. Grosz has
been given every co-operation from
the management of employers here.
A veteran of the last war, a neph

While industrial activity reached
a new all-time maximum in this Do
minion during 1943, the expansion
in industrial employment that year
was on a limited scale compared with
earler stages of the war, according
to the Dominion Bureau of Statis
tics. There was an increase of 6%
in the index of employment as com
pared with 1942, but the index on
payrolls went up 129%. Women
predominated in the list of new
workers who entered industry. Be
tween 1030 and 1943 persons in
recorded employment were well over
700,000 or 61.4% of the Working
force of Canada, but some 600,000
of them were taken into industry in
the years 1940 to 1942 inclusive.
Canadian Armed Forces,' both
home and abroad, are growing their
own fresh foods again in their annu
al Victory Gardening campaign. Ex
perts say one fully-cultivated acre
of ground will supply fresh veget
ables for from 500 to 700 men. Sol
dier-farmers in the British Isles ,have
produced a minimum of 160,000 tons
of fresh foods, including 25,000 tons
of potatoes. This all saves shipping
food to troops overseas.
As a post-war plan the national
I.O.D.E. has decided to set up a sec
ond memorial fund, which will give
bursaries and scholarships for child
ren of service men killed or disabled
on active service. Minimum object
ive of the project will be *350,000..
Mcanderings of the luscious straw

Canada depends on British Columbia
for supplies. Ontario berries are usu
ally marketed in Ontario and Que
bec, and only on rare occasions are
any shipped to the West or Maritime
destinations. Quebec berries are us
ually marketed within the province.
New Brunswick ones are sold locally,
with some shipments to Nova Scotia
and to Montreal. Nova Soctia ber
ries mostly are sold within the prov
ince. Maturity starts in earliest sect
