Sergt. and Mrs. Alfred Routledg of London, were visiting relatives n rooms. This hospitable gesture was very much appreciated by everyone and while the much needed rein was falling gently outside, all were moat comfortably seated around two long tables enjoying a splendid dinner of the usual picnic refreshments. Following the dinner, the presi­ dent, Charles Williams, called the meeting to order and the business w m carried on. The minute* of the last meeing were read by the secre­ tary, Miss Ariel Stoakley, who read a beautiful poem in memory/of the five members who had passim away since the reunion a year age.

The official message was received by his mother, Mrs. Martha Johnson, Tunis street, from the director of records, Gnr. Cirake succumbed to his wounds on th same day that he had previously been reported as wounded. He was 25 years old and well known in Ingersoll and Salford districts. He was unmarried and enlisted at London in January of 1941. Wh«n Andy" Moyer stepped out i of the plant of the Morrow Screw * . Nut Co Limited, last Friday night, i a connection with the industry *x- j tending over a period of 56 years* j was broken. Oldest employee of the firm, his 1 contemplated retirement had not es­ caped cenaideration by his fellow­ workers, and as tangible expreeaions of their esteem he was the recipient of $150 in Victory Bonds and an; address which emphasised his record for long duration of service, his faithfulness and his splendid quali­ ties. The presentation was made by Thomas Dale, who has been in the firm’s employ for 50 years and the address was read by James Sinclair. Mr. Moyer’s connection with the business dates back to the time of its inception. He came to Ingersoll 56 years ago with the late* John Morrow, the founder, with whom he had been previously associated for two yean in London, giving him a record of 58 yean of continuous service. During his long connection with the business he saw it grow from a a small beginning to its present mammoth proportions. He has always felt personal pride in the firm’s ex­ pansion and its importance to the community, as well as having regard for his own daily responsibility. The presentation also brought out another fact; that Saturday Mr. Moyer Celebrated his 80th birthday, as a result of which the congratula­ tions of scores of friends were two­ fold. With about fifty of the member* in attendance, a meeting of the Ox­ ford Group of the Western Ontario Cheesemakers’ Association, was held Friday night at the plant of Charie* W. Riley. a The meeting was in charge of the president, Don Murphy of Corinth. Among those who gave short ad­ dresses were Garnet Bain, London, federal cheese-grader; Jack Bain, London, Chief Dairy Instructor; W. G. Oliver, dairy instructor; W. Loughin, dairy instructor. Thames- ford and Larne Schenck, dairy in­ structor, Wellesley. In a scoring competition for help­ ers the winners were: Bob Smith and Lome Sim, tie, score 92; J. C. Hammond, 91; Makers’ competitions: C. 0. Pickard, 95; Harold Fraser, 94; H. O. Stockman, S3. In an address regarding grading Jack Bain gave interesting figures. At the end of June last year, 80972 boxes grading 96.1 per cent were first grade, while at the end of June this year, 85,505 boxes grading 96 per cent, were first grade. Figures also in this connection were given for Central Ontario and the hope ex­ pressed that the shield for cheese grading would again be brought back to Western Ontario.

Orange Lodge Members Celebrated At Brantfard Members of the Pride of Oxford Lodge of L.OJL., attended the cele­ bration of the 254th anniversary of the Battle of the ^oyne at Brant- £vd on Saturday. The local mem­ bers joined with the Woodstock and county members and were headed by the Tavistock Band. Leaving Woodstock at 8 a.m., trouble started just east of Wood- stock, when an 8-inch axle on the en­ gine broke. The broken axle slowed the train down considerably and kept the Orangemen, IMi hours late arriving in Brantford. Although there was a clean break in the axle, the engineer slowed the train down without derailing it or causing any injuries to the passengers. In fact, many of the passengers did ’not know what had happened for several minutes. The. period of summer we know as dog 'days was named by the ancients as pertaining to the rising in the sky of the Dog Star, Sirius. Mr. and Mrs. Bourne were then ihered to the dining room where e gifts were arranged on a table, worated with pink and white reamers and bows with silver stars id bells. Mr. Bourne expressed the anks for himself and bride, after hich all sang ‘Tor They Are Jolly ood Fellows.” Miss Ruth Spencer inducted a contest entitled, "Love a Kitchen.” Before dispersing at the close of ie evening, “Auld Lang Syne”, as sung and all expressed good ishes for a happily wedded life to r. and Mrs. Bourne who will make ieir home in Ingersoll.

Crown. Rev. R. A. Facey of Trinity United Church, performed the ceremony. Mrs. Morin Haycock of Kingston, was the soloist, singing, “I Love You Truly,” before the cer­ emony and "Because”, during the signing of the register. To the strains of the traditional wedding music, played by Mrs. D. A. Bonesteel, the bridal party took their places before a beautiful natural setting of Crimson Rambler roses and Regal lilies. The lovely bride who was given in marriage by her father, wore a floor-length gown of white brocaded organza in rose design, over white taffeta, fashioned with fitted bodice, tiny taffeta buttons from back of neckline to waistline, sweet­ heart neckline, long fitted sleevee, forming a point over the hand and a full flowing skirt. The finger-tip length veil of French Illusion, was held in place with a Sweetheart headdress and she wore a string of pearls, a gift of the groom. Her shower bouquet was of white Kil- larney roses and sweetpeas, with gypsophilia and fern. The bride was attended by Miss Florence McIntosh, bridesmaid; Miss Jean Watmough, junior bridesmaid, and little Miss Marie Watmough, flower-girl. Miss McIntosh was char­ ming in a floor-length frock of white lace over pink taffeta, fashioned simi­ lar to that of the bride. She wore el­ bow length lace gloves, a white pic­ ture hat and carried an arm bou­ quet of Butterfly roses and gypso­ philia. Miss Jean Watmough, the win­ some junior bridesmaid, wore a floor-length frock of peach taffeta with flower bandeau headdress of matching sweetpeas and carried a Colonial bouquet of sweetpeas and ageratum. The little flower girl was very sweet in a frock of pale yellow taffeta with a bandeau of rosea in her hair. She carried a tiny crocheted basket of rose petals which she scat­ tered before the bride. Mr. George Crown of Belleville, was his brother’s groomsman and Mr. Robert Smith was usher. The junior bridesmaid and flower girl wore sterling silver lockets, gifts of the bride. The bride’s gift to the bridesmaid was silver earrings and the groom’s gift to the best man, a billfold, and to the usher a tie. The rooms of the house were beau­ tifully decorated with hydrangea and Regal lilies for the reception which followed the ceremony. Mrs. Knott, mother of the bride, wore an orchid sheer two-piece dress with white accessories and a corsage of New Dawn roses. Mrs. Crown, mother of the groom, also received, wearing a rose crepe frock with white access­ ories and a corsage of mauve sweet­ peas and pink” roses. A buffet luncheon was served by three girl friends of the bride, Miss Audrey Harrison, Miss Margaret Crown and Miss Robin Baskette. The table was beautifully arranged, covered with a white linen cloth, centred by the cake, tall white tapers and prettily decorated with pink and white streamers, pink roses and Re­ gal lilies. The toast to the bride was proposed by Rev. R. A.’Facey and respondqd^Jo by the groom. Several telegrams of congratulations were read. For a wedding trip to Toronto, and other points, the bride chose a smart two-piece costume in blossom pink shade with matching hat and bag, and a corsage-of blue cornflow- 1 era and pink rosebuds. On their re- , turn Mrs. Crown will remain with her parents and the groom will rejoin his unit Embro—Reeve Fred Day had the elbow of bis right arm dislocated when he fell 15 feet from a barn at the farm of Wm. Gard, while assist­ ing in haying operations. Woodstock—An sll time high in Woodstock was established July 11th, when 3,250,000 gallons of water were pumped through the mains. This is nearly double the daily aver­ age for 1943 of 1,840,000 gallons. The gallonage mentioned include* all water used in the city for home and commercial purposes, the Ontario Hospital and the C.D. and MB. The rain of Wednesday relieved the situ­ ation a great deal. Titbonburg—The race meet that had been advertised for July 12 was postponed until July 15, with all the horsemen staying., in town for the later date. Rain made the running of the races impossible on the orig­ inal day and a meeting of directors decided to postpone rather than cancel. Stratford—A 14-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. P. Merkel of Downie Township, died in Stratford Hospital last Wednesday. He was playing around the kitchen stove when it suddenly toppled over and struck him on the head. The stove was set up temporarily while new linoleum was being laid and was thought to be secure. St. Thomas—Charles J. Munroe, 19 years old, was instantly killed when he was struck by a tile which slipped from the truck he was un­ loading at Leamington. He became aware of the danger when he saw a cable supporting the tile start to slip. Trying to step out of the way his foot became caught and he was crushed by the falling tile. Woodstock—A section of the cockpit assembly which fell from a plane flying overhead, narrowly missed striking Mrs. Rose Titus as she walked along the street. The shattered piece of material which was about 16 inches long was a piece of metal painted yellow and green to which was attached a large section of quarter inch plastic wind­ shield material. No other fragments dropped and the plane continued on its way. Princeton—This village is in the midst of a milk famine while truck loads of milk come into the village to be stored in large reservoirs. Gallons of cream are shipped out every evening, but none of this may be purchased by the villagers. The bakery which supplied milk has announced they would no longer handle this product So while in a land flowing with milk the villagers go without and wonder how their wants will be supplied. Mrs. Margaret Stoneman Passes Away in London Mrs. Margaret Louise Stoneman, widow of Frank H. Stoneman, and a former highly esteemed resident of Ingersoll, passed away suddenly in St. Joseph’s Hospital, London, on July 18th. The late Mrs. Stoneman was for many years a resident of Ingersoll and had endeared herself to a very large circle of friends, and news of her passing caused sincere regret Sumatra brides are chosen ,with an eye for their pearly white teeth.

Wilson, gives some very interesting insight into methods used in the far East for threshing as well as other ex­ periences: Dear Krwanians—Please accept my sincere thanks for your gift of 800 cigarettes which I received about three weeks ago. Pressure of work has kept me from writing you before this. Cigarettes are still strictly rationed out here and the "issue" ones are deadly! I believe some improvement is due shortly though. I’ve been following the general news of the old home town through the medium of the Ingersoll Tribune. The old town has certainly done well on the Victory Loans. I'm hoping to get home this sum­ mer or early fall on leave. We of the groundcrew are at last having a set tour of overseas service. This has been set at three years, so I’m three months overdue! Believe me, I shall be glad of the chance to see loved ones and familiar faces again. You can take it from me that Ing­ ersoll is "worth fighting” for. I’ve seen quite a bit of this old world since leaving home and good old Ox­ ford County takes some beating! The “Mysterious East”! When I was younger reading about it used to thrill me. Now that I’ve seen it the only mysterious thing is how people exist in such circumstances. The birthrate is high in Egypt, but believe me, so is the death rate. Mil­ lions of sticky flies that continually "dive bomb” you. All sorts of winged insects and believe me, plenty with­ out wings. The troops call the native, “Wogs", Western Oriental Gentlemen! And how those chaps can fleece you!! Where I am now, the farmers have their grain harvested and are busy threshing. Oh no! not with an International Harvester or a Mc­ Cormick-Deering or Massey Harris! The grain is cut by a hand sickle, tied in sheaves by hand, loaded into little wooden donkey carts and taken to the threshing site./'This site con­ sists of a stone tiled floor usually 50 to 100 feet in diameter. The sheaves are opened and the grain is spread about. A team of oxen, or donkeys,, or mules, or even one mule and an" ox pulls a toboggan looking effort around and^around 'over the grain.

SAFE MILK and WATER "Again summer is upon us and once more it becomes necessary to call attention to the importance of safe milk and water,” the magazine Health, organ of the Health League of Canada, says editorially in its current issue. "Everyone in Canada should know that milk Which is not pasteurized is never completely safe. Those on va­ cation especially should realize that milk and water may be a source of disease. It is unnecessary to call attention to the types of disease which may be caused by raw milk or contaminated water. It is suffic­ ient to know that disease may be carried by milk or water and to act accordingly. "For those vacationing in parts of Canada where milk is not pasteurized, there is a simple method of home pasteurization which properly used is as effective in making milk safe as any more elaborate procedure. All that is necessary is to heat the milk to 145* Fahrenheit in fl double boiler, hold it at this temperature for half and hour, and rapidly chill it The milk should then be kept in a cool place preferably on ice. Ordin­ arily it is sufficient to heat the milk on the front of the stove until it reaches the required temperature and then move it to the back of the stove for half an hour before chill­ ing. An ordinary dairy thermometer should be used to check the temper­ ature. "Where the purity of a water sup­ ply is in quastion, a very simple chlorinating process will ensure safety. Many departments of health supply the necessary materials either free or at a negligible cost It is better to be safe than sorry. When you go on your vacation re­ Perhaps no chemical discovery made during the part five yean of war offers greater potential benefit to to the people of Canada than that announced a few weeks ago—a pro­ cess for the transmutation of wood The story of this new process is to! ! in the June issue of C4-L Oval. Simple impregnation with comp r- atively abundant and inexpen-.ve chemicals transforms ordinary ’ iod into substance as different from the original az steel is from iron. Theprocess reconstitutes wood to • rder. Hardness, finish, strength, durnbilitf and density can now be contributed chemically and controlled ah: ost at will. Wood now permitted to go to waste, or used only for fuel, can be imbued with qualities fitting ft for use in furniture, home construction, or boat-building. In a few days, poplar becomes harder than hard maple, which in turn can be made harder than ebony which nature takes a century or more to grow.The compressive strength of wood is so increased and other properties are imparted to such an extent that the result is actually no longer natural wood but a new material which may be termed “transmuted wood.” The process, based upon impreg­ nation with methyloluru. „majfcea wood markedly harder, stronger, stiffer, and more durable. It elim­ inates Its natural tendency to swell, shrink, or warp with changes of humidity, and prevents the grain from rising when moistened. It en­ ables more available, cheaper species of woods to compete in fields hither­ to open only to scarcer costlier var­ ieties. Furniture made from transmuted wood can be shipped throughout the ; world, to the dry climate of Can- . adz’s prairies or to the humid jungles of Central America, with assurance - that drawers and doors will' con- I tinue to operate smoothly and remain , close fitting under all temperature . or humidity conditions. “A built-in” finish is imparted by , the process throughout the wood. . Mars or scratches may be removed by simply smoothing and rubbing. , Color also may be imparted perman­ ently throughout the wood by mix- ' ing a dye with the impregnating ' chemicals. Even sawdust, shavings, and sim- ’ ilar wood waste may be moulded into articles, and dyes or pigments incor-: porated. Other cellulosic and fibrous ! products, including cotton, farm r wastes, paper, and leather, also lend ■ themselves to treatment. 1 The process appears to be applic­ able to large items such as structural REID I PEP MID ERERGY Dr.ChaseV Nerve Food timbers a( well M to ■■as M»o ig pipe stem and musicalhntrur nt reeds., It can be em-|ri»ye<! ta advantage in ths manufac­ture .f veneers and plywood*, floor­ing, jreitore. textile and othermar’ iery parts, sport* good*, boats,too’ knifs ’and kitchen utenrilhar ike; millwork; screen, windowan door aashinga; rollers, woodenh< la, shoe lasts, tanka, sanitary v re, laundry and chemical equip- t ent, agricultural implement parte, nd score* of other items.

Veneer*, furniture, flooring, casing , stair tread*, doors, office and atom equipment and cabinet work are some items in which cheaper woccJs might be used. How Faat Is Fault? Next time ypu go shopping for dry goods be sure to specify. “I want a fabric that is fast to light, * or "a fabric that is fast to washing,” or whatever the particular article should be fast to, advises Douglas Walkington in the current issue of C-I-L Oval. It is not necessary that a piece of cloth be fast to everything—u> hot pressing, light, perspiration, rub­ bing, street dirt, washing, seawater, and wearing. An evening dress is not handled in the same way as a bath towel, and tbe fastness requiremente for drapes ^re^jAtferept-ftom those for work and sport clothes. An eVWr- ing dress is seldom asked to stand much sunlight and is never washed with soap and water, but the color used should not change shade to any extent in artificial light, should be fast to perspiration^ and capable of withstanding tbe solvents used in dry cleaning. Bathing suite must be fast to sunlight and salt water. Cot­ ton dresses must not change shade under a hot iron. A spring suit or summer dress must be fast to light, while sport clothing should resist light, perspiration, and either wash­ ing or dry cleaning. An elaborate system of teste has been set up to determine the various fastnesses. Lamps, known as "Fade- Ometers,” give similar results to sun­ light exposure, but in a much shorter time. Perspiration is simulated by treatment in salt and acetic acid. All the regular washing, bleaching and dry-cleaning operations are re­ peated many times in succession. It should be remembered that fast­ ness is a relative term. Nothing is absolute and if drapes, for example are hanging in the bright sunshine day after day, some lightening of shade may be expected, but only after an extended period. It usually pays to buy more expensive goods if a guarantee is given to fastness. // 2Z?ZZ> TGC/ WESMMT.E) '/W E WA/TEE 77LE THE /&> HOPES#.

Roger Whitman, an out­ standing expert on th*- subject, offers some sound suggestions on everything from puttering to house painting, in an article entitled, “Has Your Home That Run-Down Feel­ ing?” in the July 1st issue of "Lib­ erty*’ magMine.

When you use smaller amounts of sugar longer cooking is required. During this precarious stage ths cooking mixture should be kept boil­ ing constantly and stirred frequently so that the jam will not be tough or scorched. A’ few more points to keep in la mind when making jam are: 1. Use fresh, clean fruit. 2. Use a mixture of one cup ripe fruit to two cups under-ripe increase the pectin necessary for jellying. 3. Cook no more than three or four quarts of fruit at a time. 4. Warm the sugar in a preheat­ ed electric oven to speed up the cooking of jam. Boil constantly and test for jellying point. The experienced method requires correct obser­ vations. Lift a spoonful of the cooking liquid and allow it to drip slowly from the edge of the spoon. As the mixture nears the jellying stage it will form two distinct straight- ' edge drops. Test repeatedly. When the two drops tend to pull together the jam is done. Remove from the electric ele- ; ment at once. Have containers sterilised and ■ hot when filling. Cool and seal with paraffin— ;pouring around the edge of the jam jar first. Cover with metal cover, if possible. 1. Unsweetened fruits are process- fruits with sugar. Although sugar is the cheapest form of sweetening honey may be - used to replace one-half as much of the required sugar, or com syrup may be used to replace as much as 1-3 of the required sugar. Do not use brown sugar or unrefined sorghum. It is unwi se to use a board or towel in the bottom of a water bath, as it prevents even circu­ lation .Y hot water around the jars. It is wise to use a wire rack or strips of wood, e.g., shingles. That Sticking Bureau Drawer If humid summer air has swelled the bureau drawer, dry out the wood. (Running in a low-watt ligbt bulb is a good way—but don’t scorch things.) Coat all sides of the drawer with good shellac or quick­ drying varnish. This will retard ab­ sorption of humidity.

France had found com­ fort and support in Canada, General de Gaulle said, for she had trained Fighting French aviators, armed French soldiers, fed and clothed French prisoners. The French leader spoke in English and French, after being introduced by Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King and Hon. L. S. St. Laurent. With a razor blade scrape out charred wood.

With deep scratches, touch very lightly with quick-drying varnish, varnish stain, or white shel­ lac put on with a finely pointed cam­ el’ s-hair brush. If the scratches are very heavy, the article may call for rdfinishing. New paint, enamel or varnish must be applied on a clean, smooth surface. If it’s a repaint job, remove the old finish by sandpaper or paint remover. Where paint or enamel has chipped, be sure all loose paint is sandpapered off, and the urea to be pointed is roughened with sand­ paper, so as to give the new paint a good grip. Remember th*L paint and varnish should be applied in thin, smooth coats. When using enamel on a kitchen cabinet, for example, you should first apply an undercoat rec­ ommended by the manufacturer of the enamel. Worn Spot in Floor To make a patch of worn floor match the rest of the varnish again, sandpaper the worn spot to make it smooth and clean. Wipe off the dust. Varnish the spot, starting at the center of the spot and working to­ ward the edges. At the edges, apply the varnish very thinly, brushing ft over the old varnish so that no mar­ gin is visible. Three coats of quick­ drying floor varnish should do it As each coat dries, sandpaper it lightly to cut into the gloss. The final coat of course, should not be sanded. Because porch flooring is not painted underneath, fresh air must circulate underneath your porch or the flooring may start to rot Before repainting, sandpaper worn spots down to bare wood and give them a priming eoat of paint. Exposed knot­ ty or resinous areas should be wiped with turpentine. In all paint jobs, be careful to follow label directions. Waterproofing a Chimney Rake out all crumbled or cracked mortar from between the bricks. Brush out all loose cement. Soak the. brickwork with water, then pack with a mixture of 1 part cement, 1 part hydrated lime, and 6 parts of clean coarse building sand, adding only enough water to make a work­ able mixture. If the brick or mortar joints absorb water, you can get a colourless waterproof coating c6 cement-base paint to apply to the chimney. Do your screens make dark streaks on your window sills? Give them a good scrubbing with moistened scouring powder and a stiff brush. Rinse well and allow to dry. Wipe with benzine, being careful of fire.

Or you could use a very thin kind of var­ nish that can be wiped on with a clean rag.. Use a dry brush to clear “blobs" of varnish out of the mesh.

R. White, Associate Chief, Plant Pro­ ducts Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, gave a review of live stock feeding stuffs control measures in peace and war, with a glimpse into the future. Any control to be effect­ ive and serviceable, said Mr. White, must keep abreast, but should be careful not to get ahead, of scientific developments in the field of animal nutrition. In a democratic country, public demand would see that this wns done within reasonable limits. Scientific developments in the fields particularly of minerals and vita­ mins created a public demand which culminated in a new Feeding Stuffs hat.” Act in 1037. Wartime controls were emergency measures to conserve labor, mater­ ials, transportation And other fac­ tors-for essential needs. Order so- and-so respecting commercial mixed feeds and Order so-and-so respecting mineral feeds were in effect quality control measures. Minimum -standards of quality tor mixed feeds and mineral feeds such as were outlined in wartime Orders should be maintained. These stand­ ards were a valuable guide in hand­ ling registrations under the Feeding Stuffs Act Some modification would no doubt be warranted. For example the present limitation on phosphorus in hog mineral might be raised. It was imposed to conserve limited supplies for more urgently needed purposes. The mineral feed Order had drawn a much needed line be-, tween the true mineral feeds and. so-called conditioners and specifies. It had forced many products off the fence into one or other of. these categories. Continuation of some of the con­ trols on the number of brands of feed that any manufacturer might produce for any given purpose mer­ ited careful consideration. In pre­ war times there was unnecessary duplication arising from pries com* petition rather than feeding needs. In the future, whatever fced qual- ity control measures were put lnv» effect, the initiative and skill of the feed manufacturers would still re­ main the most important factoxa in the production of quality feeds.

Leslie Emslie — Progressive research is discover­ ing ne-w methods and substances for dealing more effectively with insects and diseases which attack farm, orchard and garden crops and their control demands constant and in­ creasing vigilance. Of recent years a marked trend was noted toward the adoption of organic insecticides such as rotenone and pyrethrum which, besides being remarkably effective, are relatively non-toxis to man and beast. Unfortunately, Japan's early conquests in the Paci­ fic cut off the main source of derris root of which rotenone is the active principle. Japan, too, was once the chief producer of pyrethrum until superseded by the British East Afri­ can Colony of Kenya where pyre­ thrum flowers of superior quality are grown on an extending scale; yet the supply is not adequate to meet the present demand augmented by the need of the armed forces for de­ lousing powders. As fungicides also, synthetic or­ ganic substances have replaced many of the chemicals formerly employed. Take, for instance, the organic mer­ cury dusts used in the treatment of seeds for control of smuts, root rots, seed decay and damping-off. And these mercurial ^fungicides have now been improved and, for certain pur­ poses, superseded by an organic sul­ phur dust which has been found a remarkably effective treatment for the seeds of peas, flax, sugar beets, Closely related to the organic sul­ phur dust is Fermate, also organic but containing an iron salt, on which the seal of approval has been placed by plant pathologists, entomologists and a few privileged growers in the United States and Canada. The new product is not being manufactured, yet on a commercial scale, but suffi­ cient has been produced during the past three years for its proper evalu­ ation under careful supervision. Al­ though there will not be enough to meet the demand, already insistent, it is expected that a considerable amount of Fermate will be available for Canadian distribution in 1945. Fermate has been found superior to other fungicides in controlling many plant diseases such as anthrac­ nose of tomatoes, brown rot of cher­ ries. cedar rust and quince rust of apples and pears. It acts as a “saf- ener” with lead arsenate, and is easier on foliage than ate the copper and sulphur sprays. For the control of other diseases. such as scab, bitter rot and blotch of apples, scab of pears and leaf spot of cherries, Fer­ mate has proved very effective, while, combined with sulphur, it shows promise as a control for .brown rot of peaches. little ones could write, you would get twenty, sticky, happy letters.” Thus did the matron of Gregt House Nursery, in Chippenham Wilts, Eng­ land, acknowledge a shipment of jam and honey, made through the Red Cross and Women's Institutes. Since 1940, over 840,000 pounds of jam and honey have been sent from Ontario, to the children’s nurseries, and hospitals, in Britain. Shipped in cases whose four sides bear the Red Cross, every case arrived safely. This experience has been duplicated annu­ ally until an official remarked: “It would M wise to ship of the ’babies' jam’ in every ship; some Mother-Mer­ maid guards it from storm, fog and sub, safely ashore.” Letters from the war nurseries arrive continually at the headquar­ ters of Ontario Division of Red Cross, bearing the grateful thanks for this treat, stating quite plainlythat this i| a valuable dietetic con­ tribution tq the’ children of women war workers of England, important to their health and morale. The matron of the Waifs and Strays sent “one big thank you”, because the children were all too young to write a letter. Grapes are grown under glass in England, and for the children at the S. S. Peter and Paul Home at Tree­ mans, Horsted Keynes in Sussex, it was their first sight and taste of grape jelly. They had never seen grape jelly before, the matron wrote. This year objective in Ontario is 250,000 pounds jam and honey for Britain. Red Cross provides the W. I. with cases, tins, labels, and trans­ portation to Britain. Some Branches of W. I. and Red Cross outside- the fruit belt, find it is not practical to make their own jam; send contribu­ tions for the purchase of factory- made jam.

Let** Save It Ourselves Mr. Ilsley’s budget has put more money into hundreds of thousands of pay envelopes throughout Canada. Effective July 1st, compulsory sav­ ings, which have been deducted by the employer, are no longer made. Extra weekly sums from one dollar and a half up are now going into the hands of wage earners, totalling in all about $110,000,000 a year. While this change may be favour­ ably received by large groups of the Canadian public as the first stage in shedding wartime regimentation, well-meaning Canadians will think twice before they step out to spend this extra money for pleasure or for goods which they can do without till Victory is actually won. The man or I e Finally one reaches the age whcri he, realizes that there are too many things to buy and too little to do it with—Brandon Sun. woman who sets up a separate sav­ ings account in which he or she caa deposit this former weekly deduction in readiness to buy an extra bond during the Seventh Victory Loan Campaign will be doing a favour to himself personally and a patriotic duty to our country. We expect our men in uniform to put on extra pressure in the battle­ fields during the final drive to subdue the enemy.

A 19 per cent reduction is now ex­ pected in the crop of pears which is estimated at 517,900 bushels as compared with 636,800 bushels a year ago. Compared with the ten- year 1934-43 average of 607,100 bushels, the reduction will be 15 per cent. The first estimate of plum and prune crops is only slightly below the 1943 crop of 363,300 bushels. Placed at 348,500 bushels the 1944 crop is 12 per cent larger than the ten-year average of 311,900 bushels. Peach production estimated at 1.138.400 bushels is expected to show an 80 per cent increase over the very poor crop of 1943 at 633,000 bushels. The ten year average is 1.124.400 bushels. The 1944 cherry crop at 210,100 bushels will be 3 per cent less than the 1943 crop of 216,700 bushels and 11 per cent below the ten-year average of 235,400 bushels. Apricots this year are expected to show a substantial increase from 24.900 bushels in 1943. The first estimate of the 1944 crop is placed at 116^00 bushels, which is 81 per cent greater than the ten-year aver­ age of 64,200 bushels. The 1944 strawberry crop at 9,653,300 quarts is estimated to be 40 per cent below the 1943 harvest of 16,082,400 quarts. The ten-year average is 23,475.800 quarts. Raspberries at 8,432,100 quarts is below the 9,521,300 quarts of 1943 and 8 per cent below the ten-year average of 9,156,000 quarts. An increase of 6 per cent is es­ timated for the grape harvest of 57,085,500 pounds, but will be 16 per cent above the ten-year average of 49,130,400 pounds. Loganberries at 1,278,000 pounds are expected to be 3 per cent less than last year and are well below the ten-year average of 1,582,700 pounds. The outlook for vegetables all over Canada is satisfactory with an over­ all substantial increase. In the four major canning crops, the increases are: Peas, 15 per cent; beans, per cent; corn, 13 per cent, and matoes, 24 per cent.

The 1944 area exceeds by a slight margin the acre­ age goal set at the Dominion-Provin­ cial Agricultural Conference in De­ cember, 1943, and is only slightly below the 92,300 acres planted in 1939, the year of record tobacco production in Canada. Increases in acreage this year are common to all types of tobacco. The greatest expansion is found in the acreage of flue-cured tobacco in Ontario where about 68,000 acres are under cultivation, as compared with 55,700 acres in 1943, an in­ crease of 22 per cent. The hurley acreage has been increased by 54 per cent, and there are also increases of 10 per cent in the flue-cured acreage in Quebec, 32 per cent in cigar leaf, and 20 per cent in the pipe types. ® Tobacco “Anabelle, SHALL, Royal Bank •ad MAR- and Solicitors Ingersoll PHYSICIANS H.

Indeed, numerous stones can be heard now backstage along Parliament Hill that tiie political fever is rising in the rank and file of all parties. that many members are most anxious that this session should end in order that they could get back to their own con­ stituencies to strengthen their own political fences, and that there will be a plethora of candidates in many sections of the country, with present analysis showing that the C.CJF. alone has chosen over 60 candidates, that the Progressive-Conservatives have about 40 candidates in the field, and that the Liberals have made up their mind on about 30 candidates in constituencies where they have now no representation. At the present time there is keen in­ terest amongst the supporters of the King Government in the coming lively election in Quebec on August 8. Though this is a provincial test there is more concern behind the scenes in the nation’s capital about its result than any ordinary provin­ cial election on account of recent political developments and the feel­ ings put into motion there on war policies. In fact Premier Godbout in making an appeal to the people of that Province of Quebec for re-elect­ ion of his Liberal regime made a reference to Federal issues when he declared in part “Need I remind you of the conditions prevailing at the time you elected us? War had just started through the free decision of Canada’s elected representatives in Ottawa. That was an accomplished fact. Need I remind you of the campaign that was waged in the provincial elections? Is it necessary that I recall the famous or infamous speech of the leader of the Union Nationale made at Three Rivers in the course of that campaign? Quebec gave its answer to that and other similar appeals to prejudice’with now well-known results.” Obviously, he referred to the overwhelming victory of the Liberal party in that provin­ cial battle of 1939, aided greatly at that time by all the powerful help of the big leaders of that party of the Federal group from Quebec, includ­ ing the late Rt. Hon. Ernest La­ pointe, Hon. P. J. A. Cardin, and others. However, since then not only ’has Ernest Lapointe died but Hon. P. J. A. Cardin has left the King Cab­ inet, together with other Liberals who have, acted in a refractory man- Pariiament Hill in Um other provin­ cial election in August in Alberta, but the test in that province of I*remier Manning* Social Credit Government is not considered to be likely to produce as pronounced a reading on the Federal political bar­ ometer on the King Government’s war policies as in the Quebec test, especially at thia particular time of the war when it is known along Par­ liament Hill that the Government in Ottawa »s unusually sensitive or alive to expressions of public opin­ ion on such matters. HIGHER EXEMPTIONS REFUSED Though importunate demands have been made in Parliament that the in­ come tax exemptions should be raised, including one Progressive- Conservative suggestion that it should be raised to 4800 for single persons and 41600 for married couples, yet the spokesman for the Government has stated in Parliament that these requests cannot be satis­ fied at this time, with the Progress­ ive-Conservative suggestion being unacceptable because this alone would, cause a possible loss of rev­ enue of about >135,000,000; Like­ wise, the demand for removing in­ come tax from overtime earnings was not favoured by the Govern­ ment PAYMENT OF SUBSIDIES No less than a total of 431,177,409 had been paid in subsidies on milk, milk products, canning crops, and berries in the last fiscal year, in­ cluding 48,900,000 for the fluid milk subsidy in 1943-1944, 419,000,000 for butter fat, 4872,700 for concen­ trated milk, 41,100,000 for cheddar cheese, 4945,000 for canning crops, and >261,000 for berries for jam. The expected needs for 1944-1945 were estimated to be 447,600,000. LEADING FIGURE It has been reported in the nation’s capital that Hon. H. H. Stevens, who has been a dynamic force in the arena of Federal poli­ tics for many years and who had been active in the central organiza­ tion in Ottawa of the Progressive- Conservative party, will be one of the leading figures as well as a can­ didate himself in the next general elections, probably running as a can­ didate in British Columbia.

Such an unusual occurrence created quite an attract­ ion, not only for visitors but also for the residents of Jasper. As soon as the cubs were big enough to come to town, the mother bear proudly paraded them through the streets and down to the railway ^station where travellers' passing through Jasper eould also see them. The cubs quickly became accustomed to humans who fed them countless chocolate bars, biscuits and other tidbits. Hundreds of feet of film ,were exposed showing the public feeding and petting^fhe cubs and sometimes children^rolling on the grass with them. This summer ties® cute little I leave hi* dependent* without pro- j taction. However, the MlmsU-r of i National Health and Pensions, Hon. ■ Ian Mackenzie, has replied that the I Government has been examining closely insurance affairs of persons in the armed forces, revealing at the same time that the protection of the insurance policies cf persons in the Canadian armed farces was under careful study a* well as other angles and indicating that he had hopes of mpking an announcement on these matters before the end of the »e*- ESSENTIAL CONDITION It should be known by the general public that, while many more articles can now be imported into Canada after August 1st, yet most of these articles have pot been sold in this country during or since the bask period of September 15 to October 11, 1941, w that it is most advisable for the general public to obtain knowledge of the present price ceiling of these articles before importing or even entering into any transactions involving them. The do­ mestic price ceiling must be born in mind in considering such imports or dealing in -ame, with this being most essential because so many of these articles have not been sold in this country since the price ceiling policy was established in Canada.

Dusting with arsenate of lead and hydrated lime is the most widely recommen­ ded, says Alan G. Dus tan, DtVnion of Entomology, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture. One part of the arsenate of lead should be a^ixed with six parts of hydrated lime and dusted on the plants when the leaves are wet with dew hi the early morning or late in the evening. Particular attention should be paid to the central portion of the cabbages and cauliflowers be­ cause they are the parts the insects like most. Two or three applications should be made aa needed, **ro being taken to apply the dust imme- diately feeding becomes apparent. Due to the waxy nature of the leaves spraying has not given satisfactory results. If the plants are to be treated shortly before being marketed, fresh derris powder should be used m a dust.

And that means a simple, weekly pedi­ cure. First, soak your feet in hot water for five or ten minutes, then work up a good whipped cream lather with your favourite complexion soap and scrub vigorously with a soft brush around nails, on soles and around the ankles; rinse with warm water, then plunge in cool. Dry thoroughly.' then trim nails with small scissors or a nail clipper. Cut them straight across the top, not shaped. To aemove cuticle, use an orange stick wrapped in cotton, dip in cuticle remover and gently press back cuticle. Rinse off loose cuticle and massage with mild cream or lotion. Before applying nail polish, place small tufts of absorbent cot­ ton between toes to prevent the polish from smearing.• • • For That Wilted Feeling If the closest you’re getting to sea-breezes these hot days is the deck-chair in your own back yard, there are still ways to overcome that wilted feeling. First, to get rid of the listless '‘drag” after a busy day, lie across the bed, head down, with hands resting on the floor. You’ll soon feel some of the tiredness dis­ appear. If your feet ache, try soak­ ing them in cold water, then hot, Alternately. Follow by propping feet high while you lie fiat and com­ pletely relaxed for a good half hour. Try to ease the tenseness out of all your muscles. To get it out of your voice, practise a few really big, wide yawns. Breathe in slow and deep, holding the breath as long as you can; then breathe out suddenly. Do this half a dozen times. Now a whip­ ped cream lather facial with your favourite beauty soap ... a light touch of make-up . . . and you’ll fees fresher, relaxed—ready to continue the day’s schedule. Vinegar Brighten* Woodwork When it came to keeping dull, grease-stained woodwork bright and shining—Grandma had the right idea. She stuck to good, old-fashioned soap and water and finished with a vinegar rinse! To do as Grandma did simply whip up a good batch of aoapy-rich suds and wipe the discol­ oured woodwork thoroughly, then add two tablespoons of vinegar to one quart of rinse water—and presto —the offending woodwork presents a bright and glossy finish. Enamel Pre.erve. Wire Ciotke.lino To preserve that wire clothesline, and prevent it from rust-marking sheets anrd clothing, simply give it a coat of white enamel or aluminum paint. The painted line is easily kept clean by a frequent rub with a cloth wrung out of warm water and extra soapy suds. If the line is al­ ready rusted, first wipe off as much rust as you can with a cloth dipped in coal oil; then give it a coat of enamel. Repeat in a week or two if necessary. United Sunday School Picnic At Southside LOOKS AT O t ta w a — By Jim Greenblat — The only Army girls on Parliament Hill, twenty members of the Canad­ ian Women's Army Corps have been assigned to work in Canada’s stately Parliament Buildings as members of a large staff engaged in the issuing of Victory Bonds. These Bonds must be accurately and painstakingly handled, and must be accounted for periodically during the day. Four gtrls from the U.S.A., who came to Canada to enlist, give the CWAC “Bond Detachment” an international flavor. When Canada celebrated Dominion Day, 1944, it marked also real achievement on the war front—the production of its 650,000th war vehicle. This output, of a value of more than $2 billion, is a tribut to our money contributions, our indus­ tries and our workers. It includes 25,000 universal carriers, now rolling off the assembly lines at more than 725 a month; 6,000 armoured ve­ hicles; and 3,500 tanks and self-pro­ pelled gunmounts.

The trousers fitted perfectly, the coat might have been made for him and the cap was just right “Man alive,” cried the sergeant, “you must be deformed.” CUMMER is the time for swim-ming, boating, fun on the water; and wherever there is fun these days, there’s room for your camera,to record the activities. Let me caution you, however,about your picture taking. Film, as you know, is hard to get now be­cause war needs require so much. Conserve it And, by that I mean, don’t waste it If you have a boxtype camera, for example, don’t try to take a picture of a diver zoom­ing through the air, people playing leapfrog on the beach, or any other even moderately fast action pic­tures. You’ll simply be wasting yourfilm because your subject will be, blurred. If yop have a folding type camera with a shutter having vari­able speeds, watch your exposures and be sure to change the settingswhen moving from a brightly lighted area to one in the shade. In otherwords—think before you shoot. However, I want to give you a fewsuggestions on taking pictures at the swimming pool or beach, pic­tures while sailing, and hints on making more appealing water views and.scenics. < The main thing to remember aboutbeach and water pictures is that open water is bright. It reflects an immense amount of light, so yonmust take care not to overexpose your film. To prevent overexposure, use asmaller lens opening or a higher shutter , speed than you do on ordi­nary subjects. For seeaw pictures on the beach, in brilliant sunlight withaverage-speed film, the proper ex- - posurc is 1/25 of a second at f/22.This would be equivalent to the •mail lens opening on a box camera.Better still, use 1/50 at f/16 to avoidany chance of earner^ or subject movement causing a blurred picture. When there are people in the pic­ture, or areas of shadow, it is better to use 1/50 at f/lL This wo Ad be about the same as the large lensopening on the box camera. 1/100 at f/11 is recommended if the actionis fairly rapid. These lens openings, too, give you a decided advantage. The smaller the lens opening, the more “depth offield” or range of sharpness you have, and the easier it is to get allobjects in your picture in focus. There are scores of picture oppor­ tunities at the beach-snapshots of beach games, members of your crowdsplashing around in the water,duck­ ings, water fights, medicine-ball toss­ ing; diving pictures; children dig­ging; adults being buried in the sand or napping under newspapers;surf pictures; close-ups of sand castles; “pattern pictures” using shadows in sand ripples; even thepuppy ylpplng at a starfish or scam­ pering awayfrom an inrushing wave. Around $ swimming pod, you willalso find interesting picture chances, especially at the diving tower. Thenis one particular point to watch in these pictures. You go to tite beach or pod to have fun, and so funshould be emphasized in your pic­ tures, The-people you picture shouldbe busy amusing themselves. That’s the type’of snapshot that ■ has real human interest appeal—thekind of snapshot to send to your ' man in the Service. John van Guilder The R.C.A.F. recently instituted a division of pharmacy, first service to put control of pharmacies on a pro­ fessional basis. Gone is the tradi­ tional No. 9 pill which used to be given for everything from sore corns to stomach ache. Consumption of drugs is less thap in civilian life due to improved diet and emphasis on prevention of disease. In parte of Labrador, for instance, Eskimo bab­ ies are sturdier because of the air force policy of giving medical care to civilians in isolated areas. They get the new multi-vitamin capsules, and airmen also get them to supple­ ment their diet. Drugs modem m to-day’s calendar are stocked, from the magic mould “penicillin,” and sulfa drugs in a dozen forms, to new antiseptics much stronger than car­ bolic acid but relatively harmless to human tissues. There are many other secret drugs for emergencies, but the real story will have to wait until the end of the war. According to “Canada at War”, wages in this country reached an all- time high level well above the pre­ war high in 1930. Based on 100 for the 1935-to-1939 average, the wage rate index in 1920 was 11.7; in 1939, 105.3; in 1942, 127.5. This only gives a partial picture, as overtime pay and bonuses are not included. The total amount paid in wages and salaries in 1939 was $2,550 million compared with $4,700 million in 1943. In respect to our recent item ask­ ing next-of-kin going on vacation to send in change of addresses here is another point we have been asked to stress. Always mention rank and full Christian name of officer in addition to surname; and the number, rank, and full Christian name of rank in addition to surname If this is not done, and only the name of the next- of-kin given, the service concerned has to check every enlistment card to find the right person. one pound of dry matter, one pound of lamb’s quarters uses up 801 punds of water. The average loss to grain crops due to mustard over a period of five, years was 12.7 per cent. Natural causes has made for a temporary reduction in weed infes­ tation in various places but chances of re-infestation, are always present. Prevalence of grasshoppers has re­ sulted in less growth and vigour of sow thistle. Dry seasons brought less trouble with wild oats, and so on. But farmer;- must never stop the battle against weeds. plane flying at 80 .miles an hour from as low as 25 feet above the tops of infested spruce and balsam So that Dairy Products Board can be assured of getting sufficient cheese for the British Ministry of food, 125 million lbs. by March 81, 1945, an order requires that all cheddar cheese made in Ontario and Quebec after June 24th this year, must be sold to licensed exporters. Wartime puts the accent on the increasing number of people needed to conduct government services. In­ formation tabled in the House of Commons shows that as of March, 1944, employees in the government service totalled 163,548 as against 156,355 just a year before that date. This is an increase of 7,193. Production of Butter Is Still Below Last Year Arrangements by which American and Canadian farmers can help each other harvest their crops have been completed for the third year in suc­ cession. Canadian threshing outfits may go across the border to the United States until September 15th, while United States machines and crews may enter Canada when they are needed, the limit of their stay, however, being December 3list. Canada’s cattie population in 1942 totalled 8,945,000 as compared with 8,511,000 in 1941. a survey by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics shows. The National Director of the War Salvage Campaign is again appealing to communities and individuals for collection of waste paper and paper­ board. How important this matter is in the light of the invasion can be gathered from a few facts. Paper parachutes were used to land urgent military supplies. Paperboard contain­ ers carried shells and other ammun­ ition. In some cases they are simply thrown overboard from lighters and allowed to drift to our troops waiting on the beaches. Paper vesta are used to prevent icy blasts of the North Atlantic and Channel penetrating the outer clothing of men of the Navy. Merchant Marine and the crews of troop landing craft. The boys need it and we believe Canadians will con­ tinue to see they get it. The spruce budworm is an insect already said to have destroyed half the balsam stands of Ontario and much of the spruce. Losses are es­ timated at tens of millions of dol­ lars. In a recent experiment the Uni­ ted States Dept of agriculture show- ed neighborly co-operation by having a biplane spray a small section of Ontario forests with new insecticides from which great results expect- j cd. The United States supplied the plane, the pilot and the spn^- mater ial which was deposited by the Butter production in Ontario Is still running considerably below last year, according to the report for June of Creamery Instructors of the Ontario Department of Agriculture. In the Northwestern section of the Province, however, production has been very close to that of last year. The peak of production for 1944 was reached during the week ending June 17, the same week as last year, except in Northern Ontario, which was a week earlier. The quality of butter being produced has been very good, despite labor shortage and lack of efficient help. July prospects are for a decided drop in production, this being accentuated by the hot, dry weather. On account of the extremely hot weather during the last part of June, the Director of Dairying has recom­ mended to the Administrator of Ser­ vices, Wartime Prices and Trade Board, that creameries be allowed to pick up cream at least twice a week, effective at once.
