They plan to visit here for two weeks then report to Ottawa for further posting.• • • The following interesting letter from H/Capt. A. E. McCreery, padre with the Canadian forces overseas, has been received by the Ingersoll Lions Club: “Many thanks for your gift of cigarettes. Although 1 am a non- smoker myself, I have been able to make many boys happy with a pack of smokes as I visit around camp or at the hospital. ' “I was pleasantly surprised to find Lieut. Alex. Pearson here and I need hardly say that we have spent many hours talking over the good times in Ingersoll. Gnr. Zavitz, an­ other Ingersoll lad, here, surprised me with a copy of The Tribune, which I appreciated very much. “Again many thanks for your gift, it does help to maintain that link with home that is so necessary these days.”• • • Arm. Sgt. J. Brown, who also has written to the Lions to thank them for cigarettes, writes of the robot bombs: “I guess you have heard about the flying bomb over there. It really is uncanny, no fooling. When one hears a strange noise you hit the ground and pray it will not stop.”• • • Cpl. Bob Henderson writing to ex­ press thanks to the Lions Club for cigarettes, says: “Everything on thisI side is progressing in the usual rou­ tine way, except, of course, we are a little busier at present due to the second front being under way.

FORMER DISTRICT RESIDENT ORDAINED The following from a recent issue of the St. Catharines Standard, will be of interest to many residents of Ingersoll district. "On Thursday last, at the Facer Street Baptist Church, William Lea- ton was ordained to the ministry of the gospel. The council, representing Baptist Churches, convened in the the Niagara-Hamilton Association of afternoon to hear from the candidate statements concerning his Christian experience, call to the ministry and doctrine. "The church was comfortably filled by 8 p.m. for the service of ordination. The sermon was preached by Dr. Harold Stewart, dean of theology, McMaster University. The Scripture was read by W. W. Rich­ man, moderator of the association; the prayer of ordination was offered by Rev. S. R. McClung of Beams- ville, and charges were given to the candidate by Rev. S. R. Weaver of Welland and to the church by Rev. E. G. Baxter. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. William Leaton. "Mr. Leaton was born in Sand­ hurst, England, and received'his high school education at Canterbury. He came to Canada in the spring of 1932, settling in Oxford County where he .worked on a dairy farm for several years. After graduating from the Toronto Bible College in 1939 he went to Dixville, Que., to serve as a student pastor of Dixville Bap­ tist Chudh. Returning to Hamilton, he attended McMaster University, where he graduated in May of this year with the Eugene J. Harris prize in Christian Theology. Upon gradu- allon he accepted a call to the Facer Street Baptist Church. "Mrs. Leaton, formerly Miss Bessie Mead, comes from Salford, Ont. She too is a graduate of the Toronto Bible College, completing her course in 1942. Mr. and Mrs. Leaton have one daughter, Dorothy, aged 10 months.” _)Mr. Leaton is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Mead, R R. 5, Inger, soil and a former resident of Mount Elgin and Burgessville. BOARD OF EDUCATION ARE ASKED FOR USE OF SCHOOL GROUNDS The regular meeting of the Inger­ soll Board of Education was held in tib Council Chamber on Monday^ght -with chairman T. E. Jackson presiding. Communications were read from the Workmen’s Compensation Board, outlining the benefits of the Act and advising the board of changes that make it possible for school board em­ ployees to come under the provisions of the Act. The report of fees collected was stated to be 8189. Mr. Brogden's report gave the number of teachers absent during the month of June. A letter from J. R. Henley asked for permission to use the north side of the Manorial School playgrounds for an open-air carnival, under the auspices of the Kiwanis Club. It was pointed out that it had been antici­ pated that the arena would be avail­ able, but it is being used as a stor­ age for a local firm and an open air carnival would be attempted this year. This communication was turned over to the Memorial School property committee for recommendation. School Attendance Officer J. Humphrey reported making seven home calls during June and two work permits were granted. A motion by Trustees G. W. Dan­ iels and H. R. Cornell that the Board of Education permit the Memorial School property committee to dis­ pose of the request of the Kiwanis Club for use of the school grounds in the manner in which they may de­ cide. Mr. Daniels in speaking of the above, said that he had no personal objection to the proceedure, but re­ minded the members that the board had been quite definite in their ruling regarding the use of the school grounds when a request came from another eervice club earlier in the year. He felt that this request was only for the three days this year and therefore differed from the other request which had been of a perm­ anent nature. Mr. Cornell said that in seconding the resolution he felt that it would get the feeling of the members on the matter. Mr, Daniels in speaking again said that if this privilege were granted to the Kiwanis Club the same privil­ ege would be open to other service clubs. The dates would be during the first week of school. Trustee Yule raid that it would re­ quire a lot of work and believed the equipment would of necessity have to be erected and removed each night. There ,would be no mechanical de­ vices such as merry-go-rounds or ferns wheels. A vote was taken on the motion with the following result: Yeas,— Daniels, Cornell, Green Yule and Malcolm, 5. Nays—Chisholm, Healy and Asel- tine, 3. The resolution carried and the matter was left to the Memorial School property committee for dis­ posal. Mother of J. G. Paterson Passes in Hamilton Mr. J. Gordon Paterson, Charles street west, received word on Thurs­ day last.of the death of his mother, Susan Gordon Paterson, at her home in Hamilton.

What hap­ pened?" "I decided to surprise him, so I jumps at him and grabs his wrist, and jerks his neck, like this, and be­ fore he knew what hit him—I’m flat on my back.” Beekeeper* Urged Watch the Robbers Long Distance Telephoning is heavier than it was a year ago There is nothing more devastating in an apiary than a bad case of rob­ bing. Once it is well started there is little the beekeeper can do to stop it without loss, says C. B. Good- erham, Dominion Apiarist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. While robbing may occur at any time there is a dearth of nectar, the most dangerous period is during the fall immediately following the close of the main honey flow. This is es­ pecially true in regions where there is little or no fall flow. While there is a plentiful supply of food avail­ able in the field all is well, but when this supply slackens trouble may be expected and weak colonies are apt to be robbed and destroyed. There is nothing more persistent than rob­ ber bees, for once they have been able to secure stolen sweets they will go almost to any extreme to ob­ tain more. As robbing is much more easily prevented than cured, the beekeeper should make sure that the bees do not have an opportunity to steal. When removing honey from the col­ onies, take it at once to the honey house and make sure the building is bee-tight, for any opening large enough to admit a bee will be found and used. Once the main flow is over reduce all hive entrances to at least three inches and even smaller than this if the colony is weak. Do not examine colonies except under a bee tend for the-robbers will follow the operator from hive to hive and if they gain an entrance and are able to secure a load of honey they will will be back for more, and the colony will quickly be ruined. If any feeding has to be done, do it in the evening after all bee flight has stopped. If robber bees are hovering around weak colonies they may be drawn off by placing some thin syrup in an open feeder a short distance from the apiiary. Should robbing get start­ ed in any colony move it to the bee cellar for two .or three days until the tendency to rob has ended. A little care following the main honey flow will- prevent considerable trouble and possible loss of colonies. Post-War Plans For Agriculture IT S TRUE—For the tint three month, nt this year Long Distance lines handled calls at a rate which would represent an increase, over the full year, of nearly tftrw and one-half million calls. So you see we’re not out of the woods yet—and won’t be until the war is won. Please continue —usa Long Distance for asunfial calls only. Delays cm cost Eves! . REMEMBER— NIGHT RATES NOW BEGIN AT 6 PJA* G M ee jM e o ff tH lM i The Subcommittee on Agricul­ tural Policy, of the House of Com­ mons Special Committee on Recon­ struction and Re-establishment, has emphasized in its report that marketing facilities for agriculture be improved by government encour- agemnt of producers' Co-operatives. The Committee also recom­ mended: -That research on the ultilization of .all farm products be ex­ tended; That, improved road and trucking facilities be developed;That national nutritional policies be established; 1 That research and vocational training in agriculture be ex­ tended; That legislation similar to the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act with provisions applicable to agriculture throughout Canada be enacted; That land settlement be develop- ed on properly soil-surveyed land, and that the sub-marginal lands be withdrawn from use for crop production and set aside for reforestation, com­ munity pasture, or other suit­ able use; That farm credit facilities be extended through the liberaliz­ ing loan conditions under the Canadian Farm Loan Act, through the establishment of a Central Mortgage Bank, and by the encouragement of credit unions; That provision be made in post­ war housing schemes for the construction of homes for hired worker*, and for assistance to farmer* to build and improve farm dwellings and acquire labour-saving devices for the farm heme; That tha Dominion Government give financial assistance toward the prevision of electricity to rural areas; That the Dominion and Provin­ cial Governments encourage the development of community cultural and recreational cen­ tres in rural areas by providing long-term low-interest loans to local co-operative associations. — From — THE CANADIAN RED CROSS^ SOCIETY Many Red Cross Branch work­ rooms, in Ontario, are continuing to operate throughout most of the sum­ mer months. With the news of the Allied successes in Normandy and Italy, Red Cross women realize that wider fields than ever have opened. Some of the most energetic work­ ers are In the rural branches of the province; and these ladies, in the midst of the busiest season on the farms, are still finding time to do their stint for Red Cross.Workers *^|Pthe city branches are taking cutr materials for dresses, gauze for hospital supplies, and wool for sox and other knitted comforts, and working at these in their sum­ mer cottages, responding to the ap­peal of Mrs. X C.

Success in canning is the result of abiding by up-to-date instructions. Good canning principles are: 1. Can only fresh food, tn per­ fect condition. 2. Have food, jars, everything used for canning thoroughly clean. 3. Work quickly, so as to can •freshness.' 4. Follow up-to-date instructions and time tables. fi.

The Sugar Solution We have co-ordinated our results with those from the Dominion De- C o n fe d era tio n Life Asaociation H. GRANT SMALL,Representative, INGERSOLL partroent of Agriculture. One inter­ esting table shows the approximate number of quarts of canned fruits from ten pounds of sugar: Very thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 3 cups water), yield approximately three and one-half cups. Using one cup of syrup for each quart jar of small or sliced fruit will can about sixty-five quarts. Thin syrup (1 cup sugar to 2 cups water) yields approximately two and one-half cups. Using one cup syrup for each quart jar of small or sliced fruit will can about forty-five quart jars. Moderately thin syrup (1 cup sugar to one and one-half cups water) yields approximately two cups liquid. One cup of syrup fills forty quarts small or sliced fruit or twenty-seven quarts of large or whole fruit such as strawberries and peaches. Medium syrup (one cup sugar to one cup of water), yields approxim­ ately one and one-half cups. One cup medium syrup fills thirty quarts small fruit or twenty quarts large fruit. This is suggested for canning sour cherries and plums. Berries and currants, (raspber­ ries, blueberries, gooseberries, black­ berries, huckleberries, loganberries, thimbleberries, saskatoons, red aod black currants). Pick over and clean (wash if neces­ sary). Cover with boiling syrup. Process pint jars 15 minutes, quart jars 20 minutes in water­bath. Process tin cans | (20 ox.) in water-bath. Only pre-war pint jars may be processed in preheated electric oten at 275* for 25 minutes. Cherries—Wash, stem, pit if de­ sired. Pack in sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water. Process pint jars 20 minutes and quart jars 25 minutes in water-bath. Process tin cans (20 ozs.) in water-bath only 20 mins. Canning Without Sugar Sugar does not affect the keeping quality of canned fruit. However, colour and shape of* some fruits are retained better when some is added. Berries, cherries, rhubarb and juicy plums may be canned without sugar by the following method: Wash and crush part of clean fruit in bottom of preserving kettle. Add a little water (about 1 cup for 4 quarts), to prevent scorching. Add remaining pre­ pared fruit. Cook until juices be­ gin to drain out (about 2 mins, boil). Pack into jars and gently press fruit to make juice come to the top of jar. Process in water­ bath 30 mins. Take a Tip Cooling home canned food is im­ portant. 1. Cool sealers in an uprightposition. 2. Leave space between sealers while cooling. 3. Place sealers on folded news­ paper out of draught and do not cover. 4. Plunge tins cans into coldwater and change the water once or twice so that they will cool rapidly.

A. Kelly, Toronto, Y.M.C.A. sup­ ervisor, said here recently on his return after more than three years overseas. “The Auxiliary Services set-up for the invasion of the continent is much improved over Sicily," Kelly said. “The commanding officers saw how necessary our equipment was to the morale of the troops in Sic­ ily. That’s why the services now have a high priority rating.” He said each Y.M.C.A. War Ser­ vices van assigned to a Canadian brigade would carry 5,000»pieces of equipment. This would include a 200 book library, movie equipment, writing supplies and canteen equip­ ment for providing free tea and biscuits. When Kelly went into Sicily with a Canadian hospital unit, he took with him books, cigarettes, writing paper and chocolate bars. “Choco­ late bars don’t last long in the weather over there,” he added. He lost part of his movie equipment in landing operations and was later informed that it had arrived at •Malte. He said Y.M.C.A. secretaries often scurried through the towns in Sicily to find enough Italian music­ ians to make up an orchestra. The Canadians would provide the or­ chestrations and soon the newly formed orchestras would be playing “Paper Doll” and other popular tunes as well as the iboys’ favorite hymhs.Canadian nursing sisters he re­ members seeing in Sicily at some of the dances for the troops included: Nursing Sisters Connie Brown, Francis Watt and Kay Young, all of Winnipeg, and Dorothy Low of To­ ronto. “There was a Matron Mc­ Leod and Nursing Sister McCul­ lough, both of Winnipeg, among the group. There are 28 Y.M.C.A. supervis­ ors in Italy, Kelly said, very busy trying to find recreation for the men as they come back from the front for rest periods. Hl health forced Kelly's return home. • • • English boys complain left and right that it is impossible to find one of their own girls who can dance since “those Canadians” arrived, and the girls get back at them by asking why they don’t learn to jit­ terbug, Charles Rogers of Brant­ ford, Ont., Y.M.C-A. secretary over­ seas, mentions in a report to his Canadian headquarters. Writing from an English town centre which until recently fairly swarmed with Canadians, Rogers re­ ports that the odd Canadian still around is regarded “with that rev­ erent awe which I fancy was be­ stowed by the citizens of ancient Rome on the returning conquerors." The whole town had taken them to its heart, he says, and everyone was genuinely sorry to see them go. “Until a few weeks ago, every­ where one looked there were Can­ adians. Always within earshot was the Canadian accent It seems dis­ concertingly strange now. Just as though one had moved away from his home town.” The work British women do for the troops is taken too much for granted, Rogers believes. He tells of women, young and old, who have lost husbands and brothers in act­ ion, and yet turn out to help at Can­ adian “Y” centres regularly, never mentioning their personal grief. 'One woman travels in from the country four times a week on a crowded bus. Her husband is an invalid from the last war. No doubt she, is often tired and prob­ ably “fed-up.’ Those young Canad­ ians drinking her tea and coffee will never surmise that inward battles against mental depression are constantly waged and won.” CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGES S‘X”° 45* Kt”0 33* CALIFORNIALEMONS 2? 494 45«Dox.

Income tax concessions include one which now exempts any child dependent on a taxpayer, whether his own or not. Medical expense deductions, now in­ clude those incurred outside of Can­ ada. The Prices Board also dears up a point with the warning that any re­ duction in laid down costs through this measure, on agricultural equip­ ment and repairs, must be passed on to the consumer. Weekly Consumer Branch item: Some Canadian mothers are finding that the 30 fluid ounces of corn syrup which they can get each month with their baby's preserves coupons is not enough for the baby's diet needs. The answer is that mothers can exchange the baby’s sugar cou­ pons at the Local Ration Board, re­ ceiving two preserves coupons for every sugar coupon. When the final report was made of the House of Commons Sub­ committee on Post-war problems of Women, there was an interesting section on farm women and there were recommendations in regard to electrification of the farm home, farm housing, provision for a plen­ tiful supply of running water, etc. One striking recommendation will be of interest to our rural readers. It listed a number of remunerative enterprises in agriculture, such as mushroom culture, dehydration of fruits and vegetables, boarding houses and other projects which might attract young women back to the farm.

He instanced that it takes two thousand gallons of fuel to move an armored division one mile; a fleet of 5,000 bombers and escort fighters raiding Germany uses up some 5,250,000 gallons of aviation gasoline. In one 30-day stretch the ILC.AuF. in Canada and Newfoundland used 'up an average of 548,000 gallons a day.

Underwood has received letters of appreciation from Ingersoll boys and Ingersoll’s first girl over­ seas, on receipt of the pen and pencil sets, given by the Municipal Council. Two of the letters are published herewith: England, July 3, 1944 Dear Mr. Underwood: I would appreciate it very much if you would convey my thanks to the town council of Ingersoll for the lovely gift of a fountain pen. It gives me a homey feeling to be able to think that this pen is from my home town. Since I have only been in England a short time, I haven’t met anyone from home—but it will certainly be a wonderful feeling when I do. Maurice Longfield came over on the same ship as I did, so Ingersoll had two people represented. The hardest thing for me to get used to over hero is the weather. Never in all my life have I seen rain like it is here, but when we do have sunny days they are beautiful. The country is truly gorgeous and the gardens are all so well kept. I haven’t been able to See any of my relations as yet, but I do hope I see them soon. My mail hasn't started to come through as yet—I imagine it. will take a few weeks but I am certainly looking forward to some news from home. Thank you again for the gift and you may be sure it will always be one of my valued possessions. Sincerely, W303980—L.A;W. Heenan, D. M. RC.AJ*. (W.D.) Overseas Dear Sid: Many thanks for the fine pen which arrived a few days ago. It is a lovely pen to write with and I greatly appreciate it and the kind thought behind it. Please convey my thanks to those responsible. A gift of thij^sqrt makes one feel that Ing­ ersoll is not so far away after all. Things are going well over here just now and I’m enjoying my work which enables me to see a great deal of England. Have had some op­ portunities to hear some good musi­ cal organizations including the Lon­ don Philharmonic Orchestra and sev­ eral of the Guards Bands which I’ve greatly enjoyed. Must close Tor now hoping to see the old town and all my friends be­ fore very long. Please give my re­ gards to Mrs. Underwood and any of the boys to whom you may be talk­ ing. Sincerely yours, A89298—Pte. Edmonds, H. C. 1st Cdna Army Service Increment Group H.Q., England.

A squadron observer was called ia by his commanding officer after an air raid and asked if he had been ner­ vous during the attack. “No, sir,” was the reply. “I was cool as a cucumber.” “I’m glad to hear that,” smiled the CO. “It appeared that you may have been a little rattled when you called in that there were 27,000 bomber* coming over at 18 feet.” YOU NEED ENRICHED BREAD f o r A c t iv e Y o u n g s te rs More Health Energy Vigor for two big reasons: good flavour ... a treat for Bread is enriched in Vitu- It helps transform the nor-...

JULY 13, 1M4 £X.5 O f Interest to Women Hint* on Hone Dress maki ng Summer is a good time to try your hand at home dressmaking. Besides turning out a pretty cotton frock that takes to gentle fine-fabric suds like a duck to water, you will be encouraged to use the same pattern later in a more expensive crepe or <wool. Here, according to clothing specialists, are the points to watch in that first dress: 1. Choose a simple style and pay careful attention to details. 2. Press creases out of both fab­ ric and pattern before cutting. Pin together selvedge edges of material before laying out pattern to be sure' it is straight. 3. Lay your pattern pieces on the correct grain of the fabric. Straight grains determine proper fit and hang. 4. Make all necessary marks, plainly. Cut notches out, not indent­ ed as in the pattern, to avoid the risk of cutting in too deeply beyond the seam line. 5. Run a basting thread along the centre back and front of blouse and skirt while pattern is flat on material to guide you in fitting. 6. Baste all seams, and press all darts and seams as they’re made. This is most important for a smooth fit. 7. Turn back facings exactly on the seam line and baste to hold edge firm before finishing. 8. See that collar corners are snarp and neckline smooth by trim­ ming seam allowance to 1-4 inch. On rounded sections, such as neck­ lines, clip seam allowance every 1-2 inch, from edge to stitching, to help curve lie flat. 9. Finish seams nedtly, rimming off unnecessary bulk. Do the hem last of all, after allowing dress to hang for a day or'so to prevent un­ evenness. For a Fresh, Cool House When summer heat and humidity combine to make you a limp, tired thing—nothing is more relaxing than to come home to a delightfully cool, fresh house.

First, get rid of miscellaneous objects such as vases, extra ash trays and various bric-a- brac from tables, book cases and mantel. Next—and you’ll be amazed at the eool-as-mint look this gives your home—store that carpet and wax tlwse floors! For the centre of the room, invest a few dollars in a small, inexpensive Numdah or other light pastel rug. It can be used later on as an extra in an upstairs bed­ room or hall and is easily washed at home in warm water and plenty of extra-soapy suds. Nobody even thinks about a fireplace in warm weather, but if you want to be specially smart —put some greenery in that place formerly occupied by heavy logs. Huckleberry foliage and other lac­ quer-green leaves bring the very odour and coolness of the mountains to your living-room. And remember, shades and windows down during the day keep out that strong mid-after­ noon heat. At night, when you do open your windows leave bedroom doors open as well. Cross ventilation assures good air circulation. To Remove Perspiration Stains Nothing is more annoying than to have a pretty summer dress spoiled by that hot weather gremlin—per­ spiration. If your dress is washable, careful dipping in warm water and gentle, fine-fabric suds is often suf­ ficient. If, however, the stains are bad ones—dampen the discoloured portion with water and hold it over the fumes from an open bottle of household ammonia. If the stains are old ones, soak for a couple of hours in lemon juice. Then rinse in clean water. To remove perspiration from white materials, bleach with hydro­ gen peroxide to which a few drops of liquid ammonia have been added. Stretch the material over a bowl of steaming hot water and rub the per­ oxide-ammonia solution gently into it with a clean cloth. ’ M Marr Wild is holidaying ati GrandMiss Doris Burton was holidaying '.

"That gentle­man. there was something dirty iothe air. Though be was a gentle­ man that half-crown of his seemedto burn me palm. That letter . . .” “I see,” John spoke deliberately.“Look here, I want to talk to you.Alfred. I want to say somethingvery important to you. You canhelp me with this queer feeling ofyours. I don’t laugh at it becauseI have it, too, and I have learnedto use it as I wish. For instance,I should know at once if you werenot telling me the truth. There arethings going on in this village thatI want to know about,” said John,slowly. “Things that concern thewar. I can find some of them outfor myself, but not all And thosethat I cannot find out for myself,you can tell me.” - - “But..." Alfred was spluttering.“I might play you false,” he cried.“I wouldn't, but how do you knowthat I wouldn't? I wouldn’t; helpme God, I wouldn't I'll swear, onmy oath FI1 swear.

It was only the next day that Alfred Cumminsarrived at Pole Star House diahev-eled and out of breath, but burstingwith his news. John led the wayinto his little sitting room. "Well?”he asked.“He’s here, sir—the man whogave me half a crown. He’s takena big room on the first floor withone window looking this way andthe other on to the sea. Look, sir,you can see it from here.” Alfredlaid an insistent hand on John’stweed sleeve.“Which one?” John stood therequietly. Slipping his hand into hia pocket he took out his field-glasses. Standing in a fold of the curtain heheld them to his eyes. “The one at the corner, sir.” “Oh, yes, I see. How long hashe come for?” “He’s got two cases, sir, fairlybig. one of them Is.” “You can find out at the officehow long he’s come for. And nowlisten.” John heaved his bsck fromagainst the door and sat down. “Itmay be difficult," he said, "but Iknow you can do it You’ve got towatch him all the time. You’ve gotto report to me everything be does.If you can overhear him telephon­ing all the better. Go to anylengths.” John hesitated.

A Mess Canadi otonsts THE invasion of Europe hr a vast and critical burden u the petroleum resources of the United Nations. In the first eight days of the cam­ paign alone Allied aircraft flew 56,000 sorties. Many thousands of oil-burn­ ing warships and landing barges are shuttling ceaselessly across the Chan­ nel. Tanks, trucks, jeeps, mobile artillery, ambulances, by the thou­ sands, are in action. The driving power behind all this activity is petroleum — gasoline and fuels drawn from a dwindling crude oil supiply. But—there is only so much oiL If existing supplies are to prove adequate, the most stringent economy of gasoline and fuel oil must be prac­ tised here at home. Canada is able to produce only 15% of her own gas and oil needs. The remainder must be imported from the common pool of the United Nations and the bulk of this is shipped here by tankers. Critical manpower is needed to produce our gasoline and oiL Precious lives and precious ships <MS __ be risked to deliver it to our ions, and the difficulties of and transportation are not our lems. Right here in Canada oil are needed io enormous ies for vital war purposes. The Commonwealth Air Training Plan has consumed as much as 548,000 gallons in a single day. Canada’s Navy — expanded since war began from 15 ships to 650—consumes over 2,150,000 gallons every week. Army training, war plant operation, food production, essential trucking —all are huge consumers of gasoline and petroleum products.

(heart and family with relatives in When the comparatively new Sen­ ator T. D. Bouchard of St. Hya- cinthe. Quebec, made his sensational allegations in his speaking debate in the Upper Chamber, including his charges against the "Order of Jac­ ques Cartier,” and others, who, he claimed, were leading in the ultimate direction of a possible movement for secession by Quebec, it was not realized at the time that bis speech would cause such a furore, nor leave such excitement in its wake in polit­ ical circles since it had been known along Parliament Hill that there had existed such a fatuous dream amongst an extremely small number of ultra-nationalists who in reality had no great influence amongst the masses. Incidentally, it has been re­ ported that the “Order of Jacques Cartier", was incorporated in 1920 with headquarters in Canada’s capi­ tal, and, it is said, to have a member­ ship of about 18,000. However, the point is that there has followed a flood of categorical denials as well as efforts of refutation of these sen­ sational charges which were put forth in the course of what had been expected to be merely another speech in approval of Senator L. A. David’s motion in the Senate for a confer­ ence on a more uniform bistory text book in Canada that would help to improve racial understandings in this country. But it would prove no surprise now if politcal repercussions will result from this spectacular event. Indeed, in a speech the Prime Minister of Quebec, Hon. Adelard Godbout, announcing elections in that province in August, justified his dis­ missal of Senator Bouchard as chair­ man of the Quebec Hydro Commiss­ ion and he said in part that Senator Bouchard “displayed a fanaticism as redoubtable as that of the school he claimed to fight," with the re­ mark that he had found it a necess­ ary, even if painful and imperative duty of condemning his former Min­ ister of Roads in a categorical and definite manner.

NEW OFFICE IS OPENED In order to encourage its indus­ tries and tourist trade, the Govern­ ment of British Columbia is now op­ erating a bureau in Ottawa and it is in charge of W.

If war consumption of supplies of gasoline and fuel oil should continue at its present level for any consider­ able period, there can be no assur­ ance that there will not possibly be further curtailment of the use of these supplies for civilians in face of Canada’s present conservation measures .and careful planning. This hint has been given in Parlia­ ment by the Minister of Munitions and Supply, Hon. C. D. Howe,, who has also reported amongst other facts of this situation that gasoline con­ sumption for all purposes in this country until the end of March of this year reached the figure of 814,- 248,820 gallons, involving a decrease of 10,748,570 gallons in comparison with the year when the war started. He claimed that careful planning had enabled Canada to honour gaso­ line and fuel oil coupons which had been issued to the public, with this country having been more fortunate in this respect than any other nation. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION The teaching profession has been recognized by the authorities in Ottawa as so essential for the prose­ cution of the war as well as the national interest that unlimited post­ ponement from military training for male teachers have been ordered under National Selective Service regulations. It can also be stated that limited postponements for such teachers in the past have expired during the school term and these have caused many severe problems in educational circles.

Furthermore, Prime Minister Gpdbout had expressed his pride in continuing a policy of dose cooper­ ation with the present Government in Ottawa, particularly in regard to participation in this war since he held that it was an essential duty of allppcfvinces to collaborate • with the central authorities in winning the REMARKABLE EFFECT In the past, whenever Victory Loan campaigns had been made in Canada, the withdrawals of money from savings deposits in the char­ tered banks were usually* seen in the totals of such deposits in those per­ iods, with these deposits continuing their upward movements afterwards. However, the latest report from these banks has shown a remarkable effect of the last Sixth Victory Loan campaign. This has been that, though this Victory Loan Drive was in pro­ gress in April, yet the total of sav­ ings deposits continued to increase, actually rising in that month by about $28,000,000 in savings deposits and $85,000,00 in notice deposits. In comparison to that of last y4ar, the savings deposits have gone up by $327,000,000 and demand deposits by $187,000,000 for a total together of $514,000,000. — (Reproduction Prohibited.)

Doon The millionth part of an inch, an I infinitesimal >peck not descernible , with anything that man has yet been - able to conjure up out of his human intelligence, and yet there, as re- 1 suits show. Not a microscope has ‘ been made to detect its presence’ and yet its virulence, the virulence of the unseen and unknown, is able ■ to put an end to human life and the f intelligence that seeks to destroy it How does it grow? How can it be ! made to stop growing? Is it a fea- ' ture of life itself that it can, from such infinitely small beginnings, . grow to usurp the whole body, buil­ ding up its gigantic strength by 1 fierce and rapid multiplication, until I no part of the anatomy of its host is free from its sapping activities? We are told that cancer can be cured by radium 'treatment, that radium has, in numberless cases, proved success­ ful to stem the tide of growth by burning away the tissue involved, but it has done nothing to eradicate the thing itself, and that probably be­ cause it is still the unknown, still obscure in its beginnings. We are told that the knife is the only cure, but the knife, even in the hands of the most skilful surgeon, can again remove only the infected tissue he can see. The unseeable still lurks in the bloodstream to begin its nefari­ ous work elsewhere. We are told that it is a germ, or a virus or a malignant something, but until it is discovered and shown to the waiting world, one guess, even the guess of the untutored layman is as good as the guess of the learned. To discover something that eludes the eye has always been the puzzle of the scientist, but as soon aa the in­ strument has been found to enlarge the infinitely small to proportions where the eye can discern it, some­ one else has found the means of studying and experimenting with it, and finally of counteracting or des­ troying it. That is what has happen­ ed in the case of malignant germs and viruses until the moment the suspected has proved to be the real, and the realized has been dealt with and conquered. Why is it that cancer is on the in­ crease? Are we doing something that fosters the growth of the illusive thing? Are we eating of foods, where , refinement has destroyed some ele­ ment that curbed the growth, or is our highly mechanized and involved ' civilization causing a change in our 1 metabolism that allows the thing to take root more readily, or is is merely That we are living longer and that , and that diseases that previously i carried off the younger people have been curbed to allow them to fall prey to another? We are searching, 1 we shall find. We are asking and we , shall receive, but the door at which ; we knock seems stubbornly to be shut against ul/ We say seems, for ■ it is only seeming; the ■ right 1 approach, the designated number of knocks in the proper synchronization, make the magic control to work, and the door flies open to reveal the se­ cret of the infinitely small, the in- ' finitesimal millionth part of an inch.

It has been decided to close the rooms for three weeks. This will be Friday, August 18th and 25th, and Friday, September 1st. This is being announced in re­ sponse to inquiries from our groups so that they may plan their work for the summer months. We are hoping that all the ladies who have work on hand will endeavor to have it com­ pleted and returned to the rooms be­ fore August 11th, so that former quotas may be finished and all ar­ ticles sent on their way to headquart­ ers. Please keep up knitting and sew­ ing for the summer months as much as possible. These articles are really needed and this is an essential war work, in which we can all assist.
