V. McAree’, noted Canadian columnist, has declared that in the present war blood is as necessary as food. He points out that in the North African campaign only three out of every 100 wounded men in evacuation hospitals died, compared with 18 in the last war. In the last war about 80 per cent of the wounds received were the result of bayonet or bullet. In the present war between 80 and 85 per cent are the results of shell or bomb fragments. They are in consequence much more severe and require greater quantities of blood for transfusions. Many thou sands of lives of Allied soldiers have been saved by blood transfusions and there are thousands of Canadians who owe their lives to the blood which civilians in Canada have pro vided for them. In recent weeks there has been an alarming drop in the amount of blood contributed at clinics htrough- out Ontario. This is believed to be because of the unwaranted wave of optimism which swept the country a few weeks ago when people believed the war would be over before the first snowfall in Europe. The need for blood is greater than ever. Mr. McAree says "failure to provide all that is needed would be a military disaster of the first mag nitude." 50,000 new donors are needed at Canadian Red Cross Clinic* in On tario if the needed maximum object ive is to be achieved and main tained.

Before leaving, I re ceived a very welcome carton of cig arettes from you, they certainly did come at the right time, as I was rapidly running out of Canadian cigarettes. Thanks a million for thinking of me, 1 do appreciate it very much. I stayed in Leicester for a week with one of the chaps in our crew. I had a wonderful time, it couldn’t have been better, they made me feel right at home, gave me the big arm chair by the fireplace, etc. It’s easily the best leave I’ve spent over here up to now. I wen to soe "Nip*’ Henderson and stayed with him four days, all we talked about was home—of course. It was fun to think of the times we used to have. We cycled over to see my brother Claude one day and got caught the rain on the way back. We were soaked to the skin when we reached camp. 1’11 bet we rode thirty miles, at least, 1 felt like it the next day. I ran into Bob Henderson and Tom Daniel and had a night with them, it’s the first time I’ve seen Tom since leaving home.. We’re starting to play hockey to night, on the rink in Dundee— I should say the rest of the team is, I’m afraid I have some work to do. Maybe it’s just as well, I do’nt know if I can skate or not—I haven’t tried it lately, 1’11 postpone the punish ment until some later date. Thanks for the “Tribune”, it’s grand to read the local news, my papers come quite regularly, and I read them over and over again— even the “help wanted” advs. Well, I must say so long for now, as it’s time for me to go for dinner. Thanks again for everything and good luck to you all.” Hello Homemakers! Hints for home nurses is our thought for the day. With the shortage of nurses and hospital rooms, many illnesses, unless critical, might be treated at home. This, of course, will depend on the advice of your doctor. Home nursing te no easy job, especially when the homemaker has to run the house and take care of the rest of the family, too. Recently, many women Have taken the course in home nursing and realize that defin ite instructions should be carried out with regard to sleep, food and medicines. Then, there’s also the problem of keeping the convalescent In a contented frame of mind. I’ts easy enough to say, but not so easy to do. Children are so lively when they’re well, that it’s almost imposs ible to keep them happy in a sick bed, especially when they are on the road to recovery. Things around home can he used to advantage for construction work on a tray in front of them ... for instance, a paper jigsaw puzzle, hard cooked eggs to decorate, paper to clip, colour, braid fold and make into airplanes, ships or buildings. Tack wax paper on a board and let them use finger paints. Story books come in handy for any one—even grown-ups like someone to read to them. If mother has time, she can sit and do some mending in the convalescent’s room. At first, patients are usually placed on liquid diet which usually includes milk, buttermilk, eggnog, malted milk, cocoa, cream soups, clear broth, whole grain cereal gruels, straired fruit and vegetables, ices, sherbets and ice cream. They should have one quart of anilk a day, no more, as you do not want to "sick en” them of it. Part of it can be used as milk to drink, and the rest in sherbets, creamed soups and cer eal gruels. Ginger ale, coffee and tea are sometimes served for var iety, rather than food value. Soft diets may be recommended by the doctor, especially after liquid diets. For a soft diet, soft-cooked or poached eggs, custards and all simple cooked puddings, cooked whole grain cereals, gelatin and Sieved vegetables. On a light diet you add tender meat, such as chicken, lamb chops, ■baked fish, all cooked fruits and raw citrus fruits. . A full diet means all restrictions are removed except that fried foods, rich puddings, and pastries are omitted or given in small amounts until the patients get back to regular routine. Foods with a strong flavour, such as onions, cauliflower, cabbage and turnips, should be used cautiously. Excessively sweet foods such as jams, preserves and candies should be given sparingly. Condiments and spices should be used as little as possible, while scorched foods, poorly sieved foods or large pieces of meat should be avoided. All foods should be cooked care fully to preserve vitamins, minerals and ease of digestion. Dishes need colour, variety of flavour and at- . tractive servings. Serve meals on an attractive tray, with pretty dishes, perhaps a flower or gay cloth —anything to perk up the patient.

Goodin, potato fieldman for the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Although potatoes have been uaed as a stock feed for years, many Ontario farmers have not yet realized their full feeding value, says Mr. Goodin. He points out that even in normal times more than forty per cent of all the pota toes grown in Germany were fed tofarm animals. Potatoes are a succulent type of feed, containing about twenty per cent dry matter, the major part of which is protein and carbohrydrates. They fulfill about the same purpose in the ration for dairy cows as corn ensilage and are worth about one- third the price of alfalfa hay. In other words, the price in cents per bushel of potatoes should be the same as the price in dollars per ton of alfalfa. If alfalfa is worth $20.00 per ton, potatoes, are worth 20 cents per bushel as dairy feed. Raw potatoes are considered a very palatable feed for beef cattle. As such, they are used principally in fattening rations. As a feed for hogs, potatoes may be very satisfac torily substituted for part of the grain ration, but for best requite, it is necessary that a well-balanced grain mixture be fed with them. Cooking increases the digestibility and improves the palatability from a hog-feeding standpoint, but cattle eat raw potatoes quite readily. Po tatoes should be introduced gradu ally into the rations of all livestock, as they tend to increase the flow of digestive juices in the stomach and intestines. The general grade of potatoes offered to consumers j might quite profitably be improved if all potato growers would market only the most desirable product of their crops, thus reducing the aggregate amount of potatoes offered to the public, and, at the same time, making fcrior potatoes for livestoc First Mortgage If additional moneyto help you buy afarm, send u* panicPossibly we can aithrough our loaningm«nt *.................

War II, there is no doubt that it would be discovered that the medi cal profession of this country had made a most remarkable contribution to the common cause without much, if any proper publicity. Indeed, this great anxiety of Canada’s doctors to serve in their country’s war effort had caused problems since, with more than 25 per cent Of the doc tors working for the armed servi ces, less doctors had become avail able for civilitn work and less bal ance had been caused in the distri bution of doctors throughout Can ada. It has been estimated recently that there was a doctor for every 1261 persons in this nation in gen eral and for each province in partic ular there was a doctor for every 1659 persons in Prince Edward Island, 1450 in Nova Scotia, 2136 in New Brunswick, 1206 in Quebec, 1086 in Ontario, 1348 in Manitoba, 2078 in Saskatchewan, 1626 in Al berta, and 1168 in British Columbia. The distribution of the medical pro fession in Canada’s armed services, it has been estimated, was 4.9 doc tors for 1000 persons in the Royal Navy, 4.5 doctors in 1000 person nel in the Army, and 3.66 per 1000 person* in the Royal Canadian Air Force. *■ BETTER RECEPTION Complaints have been heard again and again that certain sections of British Columbia were unable to get proper radio receptions and the question has been broadcasts from Broadcasting wave station 150,000 300,000 general period.

Harvesting the annual furcrop is confined largely to thenative population. This is particu larly true over th* territory covered by flv* native game preserves which have * total are* of mor* than 716,000 square mile*. Indiana Es kimo!*, and half-breed* living the life of natives enjoy trapping privilege* over these preserves and no licenses are required of them. White trappers who were operating in the areas at the time they were set aside a* pre serves have been allowed to continue earning their livelihood in this way. Preliminary figures for the year ended June 30, 1943, indicate a catch of 322,658 pelts valued at $2,388,- 629. The bulk of this fur catch was provided by fox, muskrat, beaver, marten, mink, and lynx, with lesser catches of ermine, wolf, otter, fisher, bear and wolverine. Fluctuations in the number* of various species of wildlife naturally influence the fur yield, and these fluctuations are being studied by the Dominion Gov ernment in co-operation with the Bureau of Animal Population at Ox ford University. The establishment of native game preserves is helping to maintain the fur industry for the native population—an industry which has provided their chief marketable commodity since the early days of the fur trade in Northern Canada. A more scientific management of the wildlife resources of the North west Territories is being planned for the postwar years. Already much has been done to preserve and per petuate this valuable resource with the object of ensuring the livelihood of those natives who from time im memorial have -been dependent upon wildlife for their existence. Game sanctuaries, as distinct from native game preserves, have been set aside by the Government. They include the Thelon and Twin Islands Game Sanctuaries covering many thousands of square miles. Over these areas hunting and trapping are entirely forbidden and wildlife is being gradually restored. As the need arises other areas are delimited in order to prevent further depletion of certain species. A recent example in the closing of an area of about 14,000 square miles in the Macken zie Delta as a measure to ensure the propagation of beaver in that region. Thus the wider plan of more scientific wildlife 'management in the Northwest Territories is taking shape. The value of the fur harvest in the Territories represent* about 11 per cent of the total fur produc tion in Canada and is, therefore, an important economic factor. The paramount purpose of these conser vation measures is to maintain and manage this valuble resource so as to ensure the welfare of the natives who dwell in this vast region and who are still largely dependent on wildlife for their livehood, and so as to provide reliable support for the maximum human population.

Since 1942 Canada has paid the cost of moving these brides and their child ren across the Atlantic, and up to the end of last month 2,298 British wives and 1,328 children have been brought over; 21,500 wives and 8,300 children are still in Britain, and thousands are on the waiting list to move across.

Do you know that no Christmas cards, except the one sent by the Prime Minister on behalf of the people of Canada, are sent to pris oners of war? This is the result of a request from prisoners who re ported their regular mail held up for weeks while the censors dealt with the cards. Figures just released show a 16 per cent increase in outgoing mail to prisoners of war in Europe last year. In September 32,302 pieces of mnil were cleared. i An interesting Army story says that, “Thanks to penicillin, Canadian Army surgeons can now make bone grafts of a nature which would have been impossible during 1914-18.” Also, because of the miraculous act- tion of this drug in countering in fection, they can begin their exacting work may months earlier than would have been possible during World War I. At that time no plas tic surgeon in his right mind would have attempted to perform a bone graft for at least six month* after the wounds had completely healed. That is no longer necessary to-day. We mention this only to show how our lads are being looked after these days. Motive power on Canadian farms costs a lot of money. The number of horses in Canada shown at the lasttensurth 1941 was 2,789,391 valued at approximately $185,000,000.

Figures released by the Veterans* Affairs Department in Ottawa show that during September 1,810 ex-service men received benefits under the re establishment order providing main tenance grants. A total of $88,246 was expended that month. During the same period 9,741 veterans were placed in employment through National Selective Service. Jobs were also found for 3,143 veterans of World War I.
