When furs bcc.-.me very wet from snow or rain, never dry in front of a fire or in a hot cup board as tills will cause the skins to split. Intead, shake it out thor oughly, brush well with a good, firm- bristied cleaning brush and let it dry slowly in a warm room. To re move that thin film of grease and dirt that shows up on light-coloured furs, first, shake free of dust Then lay coat over a newspaper and sprinkle well with fine powdered magnesia, obtainable at any drug store. Rub the powder in thoroughly, then fold the coat with the hairs in side, and wrap in a clean paper or a dust sheet, freshly washed in extra- soapy suds. The powdered magnesia acts as an absorbent and draws out the dust, dirt and grease film. Leave for three or four days. Then shake the coat thoroughly and brush it free of powder. Leave to air out of doors, or in a cool, well-ventilated room. When the temperature reaches the zero point, stocking shortages be come a real problem to the weather conscious Canadian woman. And here's where she takes a tip from her American sisters and mends slock ing runs on the sewing machine! Yes, smart New York women say a stock ing run stitched up on the machine with mercerized sewing thread is neater, straighter, less likely to give and less conspicuous than one sewn by hand. Adjust the stitch regula tor for a very short stitch; turn the stocking wrong side out; lay the two edges of the run together and a handy darning It always happen* . . . when you train, or get dressed in a hurry for something—you tug at the bureau drawer and there it stays—stuck! Here’s a tip that will help you tame that sticky bureau drawer. Pull the drawer all the way out. Rub the slid ing edges lightly with sunny yellow bar soap. Slide the drawer back in Run it to and fro two or three tubes to smooth down excess soap to a perfect sliding surface, and you’ll see—it’ll be Goodbye bureau drawer blues. “Either too strong or too weak”, is the complaint of a lot of women when addnig starch to blouses, household linens or cottons fresh from their dip in soapy-rich suds. For best results, here is an easy starch recipe: Mix 1-4 cup of lump starch with 1-4 cup of cold water. Stir to a smooth paste. Add, gradu ally, a quart of boiling water, stirr ing constantly. Then cook from 3 to 5 minutes until clear. For a heavy starch, use 1 part of this solution to 3 parts of hot water. For a medium starch use 1 part solution to 5 parts of hot water, and for a light starch, 1 part solution to 8 parts of hot water. And remember, any excess starch can be quickly removed from your iron by running it over a sheet of waxed paper on which a little salt has been sprinkled.

X It rained that afternoon, a slowsteady misty rain which made everything wet, yet left little water on farm fields or city streets. I hopped off the bus and crossed the road to the hotel. The man who sleeps often in these hostelries, can classify them when his fingers touch the latch. If the latch is loose the door rattles, so too does the hotel. Then you will woo Morpheus to the babble of endless conversation, the tramp ing of many feet, the slamming of doors—and awake, at last, from fit ful slumber wishing that the hotel keeper had never been born or that he had chosen another occupation. It was different here. The latch did not rattle, the door flowed smoothly to a cushioned stop. The rotunda looked restful. The lady at the desk was quiet and efficient. “Yes, there was a preservation for me, room 14.” The stairs were car peted, the carpet protected by a rubber-like covering. I knew what I would find before I opened the door. The room was small but neat and clean. Everything was in its place. The lights were arranged to give light where it was likely to be needed. There wa^a chair beside the bed—a better place for a watch than under a pillow. There was a place to piff your bag, a stick to prop the window open. The ash tray contain ed neither sttfbs nor ashes. The Gideon Bible was new, a half-mor occo cover. Perhaps only saints slept there—they had used it little. Said I to myself: “Here is a hotel run by a man who has slept in a hotel, be fore he owned one. I wish that could be said of all hotel keepers."

T. N. DUNN HARDWARE GIVE PYREX OVENWARE CHECK, THESE ITEMS FOR Christmas Shot Very often the forgiveness of wrong done against one rebounds to the giver. It is like charity which, although it cloaks the chilled and numb of body, and feeds the needy, yet casts back on the giver a warmth that caresses his own soul. It isn’t warmth of a material nature alone t is given and received, but a rad- ce that enters and is cast off at i and the same time. It is a poor 1 who hands out charity with that >e in his heart, for such charity eats its own ends. It is selfish in stance and selfishness of any kind omes a dead thing.

It must ge given with thought that error is natural to that the wrongdoer has perhaps n unable to control the passion t led him to wrong doing; that we ler the same circumstances might e fallen likewise, and that recog on makes forgiveness the alive I warm thing it should be. It Ices the forgiven one recognize shortcomings in the light that tes on the gift of forgiveness. It i noble thing; a thing worthy of great people, of all great nations, isn't an easy gift, for the most ural impulse in the world is to ke back, instantly on provocation, eived, and with any weapon^ liable. But that is vengeancce ■ I vengeance is the Lord’s, a very e admonition that from Holy it. for He alone can know all cir- 1 istances, * He • alone . can weigh '■ hout disturbing the balance.

I This is a restless age but I am i cheered by it. Once a very wise man remarked: “Poverty, if ever con quered and banished, will come1 again through the vices engendered in a world without poverty”. He iyay have been right. At least it raises a questioning /Inger for those who condemn Adam and Eve for fooling us out of gardeners’ ease. The restlessness of workers and far- , mers comes front success in past conflicts. They have achieved much —they seek more. Fann income, in the last few years, is higher than it ever w'as before. Instead of hold ing machines bought at high prices ; farmers hold bonds or money, ready for action, when goods, in reasonable supply, come once more to the mar ket. The farmer now has reserves— in cash or bonds—this is a hopefulsign. I talked to one man who thought that a farm of 1,000 acres was the size which would give the best re sults. Another felt that there were great possibilities in the 100 acre farm. With little help one man can operate it. The manufacturer is now giving more attention to machinery for the small farm. The man on the small farm would have to work hard at times but would have a rea sonable amount of leisure. There were those who felt that 500 acres I was just about right—large enough 1 to permit ’ economic operation—not , beyond the range of efficient over sight Farming is a task of infinite variety Acreage does not measure capacitj to produce. The important factor ii production per acre and it is amaz ing what has been done, from time to time, by men on small farms. The 1000 acre farm would require a higl degree of managerial ability. ' The question is, would it be available? It would be an excellent place to lose money if the owner could not 'measure up to the task.' "Ordinary farming presents difficul ties in this area of tobacco growing. When it is harvesting season for tobacco they pay startling wages, 86 to 310 a day. It is a short sea son but .in times like these, when jobs are easy to get, workers jump from one task to another, and some times town industries close down to give them an opportunity to do-so. Some dairy farmers sell their farm yard manure to the tobacco grower, for the tobacco- crop is hard on the soil—its a voracious feeder, and the grower is a privileged person in the price he gets for his crop—price in relationship to other farm products. He can afford to do these things, but it makes life difficult for the ordin ary farmer. Selling fertility off the farm is a poor way of getting rich. It may be that the agricultural situ ation will improve, over the years, from a radical alteration of our whole conception of diet and health.

And what is industry doing—it is alert and vigorous. Industry will keep going after the war. The sights have been raised. It’s good to hear a man in a small town talk of export buisness, of large firms telling of plans for expansion. Man can never be happy in the enjoyment of con tinuous rest—in devouring the achievements of the past, in eating the seed corn. What he wants is to build today for the enrichment of tomorrow—not for himself alone, but for the nation. In that lies hap piness and progress. To build, al ways to build and never deliberately to destroy—that is the true destiny of the human race. , SALLY'S SALUeS “It didn't take me long to get rid yt that salesman!” Private—*1 feel like telling that Sergeant where to get off again.” Second Private—“What do you mean, again?” First Private-^"! felt like it yes terday, too."

A week's accumulation of small pebbles andlesser filth drifted down my pants leg. My hands fell loose and myarms dropped limply into space.This was the straw that broke thecamel's equilibrium."Go ahead and kill me,” Isobbed, tired of living. A tide wasrising in my throat."That was inverted flight.”chirped Mr. Glossup.My head fell forward on my chestI felt as if I were going to drainright out of myself.Mr. Glossup looked in the reflec tor."From your ghastly pallor I judge that you are sick.” he said. "MayI?”He kindly tipped the plane overto one side, affording all the comforts of home.I summoned my waning strength.The large Glossup head was directlyin front of me. The target wasright in my sights and a coupleof damp bursts in back of the neckwas no more than he deserved Iwas on the verge of pulling thetrigger, but the Dowds are a proudclan. Could I shoot a man in theback, with my background* I lurched to the side of the cockpit.We turned for home, while Mr.Glossup gave a bright resume of theflight. I slumped lower and lowerinto the cockpit In a partial coma.Ute figure of Drake recrossed myfevered mind, but this time hewasn't strutting jauntily off thebowling green He lay on his bunkbelow dec>«s. an ordinal? •m” hum holstery, and on the third I openedmy eyes. Relations between myselfand the plane, however, neveramounted to anything like booncompanionship. Mutual trust waslacking. For my part, I always suspveted the assembled r.uts andbolts, and if the airplane had anysense it watched me like a hawk.Landings were the first obstacle.The procedure was to take off, andmake a climbing turn to the rightor left in accordance with the courserules, level off at five hundred feet,cut the throttle at the runway'send. make a gentle approach andland. We had not been five minutes in the air on the {list instructionwhen Mr. Glossup called over thegosport: "All right, keep the airspeed constant, keep the wingslevel, and don't cross the controls.You got it!" he cried, waving hisbands over his head.Judging from this madcapgesturethat nobody was at the helm, Igrabbed the stick and stepped onthe right rudder as if it were a poisonous spider. The plane skidded."Just fly the machine. Don'tsprain it,” called Mr. Glossup. I could maintain something likelevel flight for a while, but then awing would dip and the plane wouldedge slyly off to one side. It wasdisconcerting to have the controlsat mv b"C*- rail snH vet have gender and shy by nature. Flyingfor him was just a matter of putting his arm around this pretty,fat, backward child and getting her to talk about herself. With Timit was love at first flight"I give her throttle, but shesays 'No,' she don’t want to comearound. So then I give her morethrottle and she comes around sonice and sweet—and puts her nosejust where I want it.” He shook hishead at such compliance. As far as I was concerned “she”was just a dumb animat With"us” it was a marriage of convenience. After the crisis, when thechildren were old enough to know,there would be a quick divorce. Shecould go her way and I would go mine, and' there would be an endto this silly pretending.The day for my first solo arrivedat 5 a. m., like all the other days.It had unconsciously developed tremendous importance. All the letters from home ended with "Love,and have you soloed yet?” Aunt Mab always wrote that after she"recently talked to your mother,”and she was constantly under theimpression that I was about to solo.Mother bad commissioned me before I left. Now on the eve of theBig Game there was an ominoustelegram of good cheer frvmFather. bled by the elements, swallowingMother Sills' PiUs like peanuts.Few people know of that.In this semiconscious state I feltthe wheels of the plane jar againstthe earth. Mr. Glossup taxiedslowly back to the place on the line.• Switch off!” he cried to the mechanic, and leaped nimbly fromhis seat"You'll find a mop and water behind the hangar,” he said to me,and walked away.Nodding weakly, I prayed he wouldn't slip on the sidewalk andbreak his back in four places.I sat motionless in the cockpitThe sun. now almost at its zenith,had burned the freshness out of themorning. A hot wind was raisingthe dust in swirls. The world wasan old. repeated thing, shorn ofnovelty. I shuddered to contemplate the tattered leftovers. Of adventure and gallantry as Arthur'sknights knew it, nothing remainedbut misery and sickness—much sickness—much sickness. And itwould get worse and worse.With effort I hauled myself fromthe plane and settled dizzily tothe ground. David Munk shuffled no influence over the proceedings.I felt like a governess of faultycharacter victimized by hellioncharges who have discovered theirkeeper’s blind spot and fiendishly exploit the advantage. When Ibanked to the right, the plane wentthirty degrees past my intention.The altimeter registered alternategains and losses in altitude. Imight as well have been on theMagic Carpet/"Watch the wings. Keep themlevel with pie horizon,” criticizedMr. Glossup.I evened/the wings."God, the air speed," he snapped. The indicator represented the airspeed in the dangerous red segmentas flfty-flve knots. I dropped thenose and thrust the throttle forward."Seventeen hundred r.p.m.’s isample,” said the Voice. "You seemdetermined to ruin this enginefor the better student who will "Best of luck, son. Everybodyhere hopes you make it."The message was apprehensive.There seemed to be some doubt inthe family whether or not the thirdgeneration could drift around byitself in the ether.Before we-left for the field. ChiefConnolly, a kindly man with sixservice stripes who lectured us Inthe theory of flight, called me aside."Son, I see you're up to solo,” heamiled. “Next to your weddingnight,” he said, moving closer, "it'sthe greatest thrill of your life."Although the Chief had neverflown in his long rich career, he had insisted on this bizarre comparison all through his course. Ioften speculated on the aeronautical nature of his nuptials, whichmust have token an odd bird-like up."Ole son, it looks as if you wuz.rung out," he said."Dry as a bone,” I confessed. "David.” I asked, raising my head,"how do you like flying?""Well,” he drawled, "Ah'm notso shot in the tail with it as someof the other boys. It's no strawberry festival Them flyin’ machines ruin mah nerves.”"What’s wrong?” I asked. I felt cheated."It’s too much like work," Munkcriticized. “Ah worked beforeonce. Ah didn't like it then and Ah don't change much from year toyear.”Munk had a constant pickled outlook that rarely let him down. Inever envied him more.From the direction of the road afamiliar harsh voice hollered, "Hey,Mack, all aboard if you're goingback with Ben Hur.”It was Fearless Indulging his■whimsy. He noticed my distress."Oh, sick, huh, Mack? Happensto the best. C'mon, c’mon get offthe canvas—it’s good for you.Mack, best thing for ya.”“You too?” I cried. I put my headbetween my knees and retched. « After ten periods of instructiona cadet is considered safe for hisfirst solo, an experience, he is givento understand, that is comparable to going over Niagara in a barrel.Mr. Glossup abandoned the roughand ready tactics of initiatiRf andconscientiously pointed, m theGreat Day.

It was too late to make anychanges. The plane hit the groundas if it had been pushed off a cliff."Oh!” groaned Mr. Glossup.The plane leaped Into the air likea stricken thing and then fell back."My!” groaned Mr. Glossup.The plane bounced up once moreand then came to a final rest"Lord!” breathed Mr. Glossup.I opened the throttle and prepared to take off again."This is an airplane, not a yoyo,” explained Mr. Glossup. The plane staggered and swerved."And these pilgrimages of yourson the runway! When day is doneyou may inspect every inch on yourhands and knees. In the meantimeI advise something simple in astraight line."Day after day this routine wasrepeated as I groped for the "feel”of flying. Mosi of the others caughton rapidly. Tim Carpenter referredto.his plane as if it were female in turn.Members of the class were freewith their best wishes, and eachpoured advice over me like lini-ment. Evidently Mr. Glossup had advanced the opinion that his student was no Rickenbacker and thateven if I managed to get up in theair, I should come down like arock. Tim Carpenter generouslydemonstrated the technique of“trottling." Red Run and JohnnyBarker made pretty speeches onDeath, outlining the great advantages it offered young men oftwenty-two, and closing on a fa talistic "If-it’s-your-tum" note.I was In the afternoon wing thatweek. By the time we were allgathered at the field the tensionwas strong enough to swing on.I fidgeted in front of the assignment board until the second period,which was scheduled to go up atthree-thirty, and then started downthe line to the plane, number two-ninety-six. On the way I passed Mr.Glossup. “Where are you going?" heasked. "I'm up for my solo, sir," I said."My gosh!” he muttered. Hewalked away, taking extra largesteps which soon developed into atrot.. When last seen he was running; for the officers’ ready room.I could see him making all the arrangements, passing his hat, calling the florist The maestro was a very considerate man.Reaching the plane, I smiled thinly at the mechanic and made a precautionary investigation of theplane.

We hear many stories thesedays, from the occupied countries.They say themselves, that many of them for the first time, know what it is to share—their daily bread— the small luxuries that may, once in a long while, come their way—but most of all, the small incidents of daily living and companionship. In this fifth Christinas of a world at war, we, of The Salvation Army, pause to offer a special prayer of thankfulness that, Kn the coming year, we may Jo of for Peace, and that this -bond of fellowship may be one of the cornerstones.

This is mentioned at this time on account of a widely circulated allegation that 16,000 is the final limit. Such allegation is not true according to the best sources in Ottawa. HERE'S MY FEED PROBLEM HERE’S THE ANS ER . . . I THER LIKE starter should health it baby Hog In view of the uncertainty in mind of the man-in-the-street across the country about the attitude of the Canadian Government towards the events which have taken place in lib erated countries like Greece, Bel gium and Italy, involving statefhents of the greatest importance by Prime Minister Churchill of Britain and the United States State Department, it must be reported that Premier King has made a statement on the attitude of Canada and that he has ansyGred two questions pertaining to this same matter. “I should not like to make a difficult and ungrateful duty even more difficult to perform by offer ing comment from this distance on day by day developments, in dealing avith which the main responsibility must inevitably fall on the allied commanders,’’ said Canada’s Prime Minister in part. “The three coun tries mentioned are all within theatres of active operations in which the needs of the war against Germany must still be the chief fac tor in framinf ^policy. In Italy, and indeed even in Greece, the corrup tion‘of dictatorship, had undermined, effective political institutions before .Nazi control completed their des truction. It has, therefore, been an extremely difficult task to improve reasonsably representative adminis trations, pending the re-establish ment of democratic methods, under which political responsibility clearly rests with the people. Transitional difficulties and disturbances should not however, create any doubt in any man’s mind about the determin ation of the United Nations to're spect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government un der which they will live.” Then the Prime Minister proceeded to answer two questions asked on this same the Unemployment Insurance Act are concerned if they are laid off work on account of age or declining effic iency. The Minister of Labor has stated that one of the main condi tions for receipt of benefit under the Unemployment Insurance Act is that the claimant is incapable of and available to work but unable to get suitable employment, this being cov ered under Section 28, subsection 3 of the said Act. Jf the elderly person makes a claim for benefit, the offic ial looks at the person’s employment record and finds out whether or not this person is capable of and avail able for work, with the fact that this person had been recently em ployed being evidence. “If an em ployer laid him off because of declin ing efficiency, it may be—and each case would have to be judged on its merits—that suitable employment for the claimant would be of a slightly lighter nature than his previous employment, possibly with some modification of his employ ment conditions,” said in part Hon. Mitchell. He said also that there was no age ceiling under the Act and that benefits have been paid to claim ants who were about eighty years of age, adding that unemployment in surance is a protection for employ able people who become unemployed and it is not intended as a substitute for health insurance or for old age pension.

For 1943 union membership is shown as 664.533, compared with 358,967 in 1939. Women have a big place in unions, too. judging by reports from 928 of the 3,755 branch and local unions on record at the end of 1943, which showed a total of 75,814 wo men members. This, by the way, was an increase of 47.55c over the total in 1912. The metals industry with 199,487 members accounts for about 30 U of Canada’s total union mem bership: transportation 22.59c. On tario led the provinces with 211,970 members; Quebec had 188,714; Brit ish Columbia, 87,485. Montreal led all cities with 114,884 members. Of the 664,533 total union mem bership, 2,041 locals having 249,150 member were affiliated with the Trades and Labour Congress of Can ada. The Canadian Congress of Labour had 245,812 members, the Canadian and Catholic Confederation of Labour had 68,576, and 34,590 were listed with the International Railway Brotherhoods.

An over all price ceilingwas introduced tn 1948, and sincethat time the position has been main tained by the use of subsidies. A pol icy of linking wages with living costs has been in force in Australia for 25 years and is strongly endorsed by labour. As the cost of living moves up the wage rate automatically in creases. This system makes it even more important to stabilize the cost of living, and labour in Australia is strongly in favor of price control, according to D. B.

Thedomestic disappearance of creameryand dafty butter combined for September Las 81,600,000 pounds or2.64 pound* per person.Canada's 1944 lumber productionwill hit a near all-time peak, but the demands of war for lumber climb steadily higher. Latest estimate of the 1944 cut is 4,700,000,090 board feet, 100,000,000 more than in 1943. The all-time record was set in 1941 when we produced 4,941,000,- 000 board feet. Exports will be high for a long time because of require ments in occupied countries and for replacement of bombed buildings. In view of the interest in plan ning for agricultural stability in Canada in post-war years, a study of farm prices over a period of 62 years in Ontario (1882 to 1943) as issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, reveals a typical ex ample of fluctuation in prices of farm products. In the 62 years the average price! of oats was 41.6 cents a bushel, with the highest in 1920 at 97.7; the lowest in 1896 at 20 cents. The aver age for barley wag 57.5 cents, with the highest in 1919 at 145.8 cents; the lowest in J 898 at 27 cents. For hay the average during 62 years was $10.76 a ton. The high came in 1920 at $24.25 a ton; the lowest in 189K was $6.22. Helping Russia: The second Con gress of Russixn-Canadians which meet in Toronto pledged itself to raise $100,000 during the month of December to buy seeds to be sent to Russia for spring planting. The consumer branch of the War time Prices and Trade Board took time off this week to tell us about the new Christmas ornaments which most folk will see displayed for sale, made of lueitc—plastic shavings from airplane windows. As fancy as any tree trinkets, the Incite shav ings are twisted into stars and and icicles that spin and whirl when suspended. Yards of red ribbon for the gifts, candles for table and mantle as well as wreaths, crackers, and spun glass balls will gladden the hearts of Canadian children during the festive holiday season. The Dominion Bureau of Statistics states that the savings resulting from advancing the expiry date of butter coupons in March, June, August and October, have been more or less offset by the increase in the domestic disappearance, for consumers are us ing a greater number of the butter ration coupons. Butter production seems to be improving, as shown by figures for October—about 24.500,- 000 pounds, a decrease of 2‘,< from the same period last year.

Because smoking is such a common practice, it is interesting to know something of the history of tobacco in our counry. Tobacco was grown in Canada j^ong the banks of the St Lawrence by the Indians when Jacques Cartier arrived in 1635, and commercial production dates back to 1720. In that year about 48,000 pounds was produced, and most of it was devoted to pipe varieties in the province of Quebec. More than 166,000 pounds was produced in 1730, and the next year the French government began encouraging pro duction in New France for export. In 1944 Canada’s prpjduction of leaf tobacco was 102,194,750 pounds. In 1948 ■ we produced 13,591,820,000 cigarettes alone valued at $155,- 931,000, not counting ’other varieties of tobacco. foil.

S. Nairn, • president Lever Bros., Canada, deepens in my mind the conviction i that the very first most vital and most successful health and security , measures are the positive steps ; taken to produce jobs in abun dance for employees and to promote active market* for producers and distributors. With good jobs under improving conditions men and women' are largely free from irking cares, can finance individually or in con cert medicine, doctors, hospitals and nutrition, and they can proride the taxes and loans needed to keep the wolf of unemployment away from the doors of those able and willing to work, to see that no child suffers from lack of nutrition and to bring tne resources of medical science and hospital attention within the reach of all. Too many have been insisting oneating the chickens of production before they are hatched. The very necessary Health League of Canada will get further forward with its beloved plans if all the rest of our post-war plans place strongest em phasis on construction, production, distribution, financing of trade and expansion. Mr. Nairn's fine address made me think of this because his company is one of the best examples of social benefits to employees that can come from a well-integrated plan which co-ordinates output, dis tribution, marketing, advertising and which spreads the benefits of success among the employees and all others whose lives are touched by the company. This world-wide company began back in 1886 as an idea in the mind of W. H. Lever, later to be Lord Leverhulme. He was considered revolutionary when he founded the garden city of Port Sunlight, but now not only do a growing number of large emloy- ers take an interest in housing, either directly or indirectly, but they have followed leads given in provisions for first aid, hospitals and medical attention, cafeterias with balanced meals for workers, pensions and accident and compensa tion payments 'beyond State-regula tions, free discussion among and co-operation with employees, recrea tion facilities and so on. The provis ion to'make up deficiencies in army pay equal to old salary and wage levels of enlisted employees and the welcome and emplacement commit tee appointed to meet returning sol diers are moves that have drawn much attention. .Recently the British company prepared and sent every where its own analysises of the post war needs and a plan to keep jobs . going under the name, “The Prob- Teirt of Unemployment,” and it was one bf the best contributions I have seen. Thus, inside and outside com pany personnel, is it possible for in dustry and business to do great things. The main point of Mr. Nairn’s ad dress was that industry should not wait for Governments to act in mat ter of welfare of employees. Even when Governments have acted, he feels that industry should go ahead and do a little better. He urges that if Govennent will furnish returning [ soldiers with a comprehensive rec ord of their service history and ex perience to show to prospective- em- . ployers, it will speed up employment . and give industry a good idea when-[ ever further training would help the returned man to a worthwhile job.
