year like 1044 we won’t have to
look in the paper to see those things
—we will be able to go and see for
ourselves.”

A letter received by S. H. Under

J. Watterworth on active service in
Italy, gives a very interesting
account of a furlough in Rome. In
part his letter reads:
“Received nearly all my Christmas
parcels and wish to thank the muni
cipality for the lovely gift of the
pen and pencil set. Was truly jn
need of them and thanks so much.
Just spent a seven day leave in
Rome, returning to camp the day
before Christmas and have some
grand souvenirs. Can say that the
Canadian boys are well taken care
of in Rome. Stayed at a hotel rec
ommended by the Canada Club and
went on three tours, so really saw
Rome in style. Was present at an
audience of tfie Pope, also saw the
Treasury and Art Museum.
When I arrived back at camp
there were four Tribune papers; 300
cigarettes from the Kiwanis,. the pen
and pencil set, 300 cigarettes from
the Lions Club, also parcel from

Mr. Walter Gibson of Tillsonburg,
addressed the Y’s Men’s Club at
their meeting held in the Coffee
Shop on Friday evening. Mr. Gibson
is the District Commissioner of the
Boy Scouts and superintendent of
the Tillsonburg Shoe Factory. Mr.
Gibson outlined the practical steps
in conducting boys’ work and how
we can develop the greatest future
in Canada equipped with the finest
man-building material in the world.
The speaker stated that a wall
divides this generation from the
next The door is locked to men of
this generation, but it is their duty
to help the oncoming generation
through. Mr. Gibson compared the
marvellous discoveries and advances
in our present methods of transpor
tation, communication, science and
medicine with conditions of the horse
and buggy days of our fathers, who
witnessed the advent of arc-lighting,
telephone, radio, ‘horseless buggies’
and the airplane. In the same way
the next generation may advance to
altitudes which we do not dream of.
Th« steps we might take to assist
tjiis generation were discussed by
the speaker and were listed as fol
lows: Don’t make it too easy for
them. Pay a man for’what he pro
duces. Tell them to keep fit and ex
plain to them the power of gravity
against flesh to pull them down. Do
not despise anyone. History has
shown that many who were con
sidered fools have turned out to be
the genii of their ages. Tell them
not to become critics with no power
to build as these lose their power of
administration. Explain the value of
being social. Teach a boy to use his
hands, regardless of what vocation
he may follow in life. To succeed
he must be willing to pay the price.
There’are no short cuts. He must
take advantage of every opportunity
to learn, such as books, the press,
radio and by contact with other
people. He then must do something
with what he has learned or it will
soon be forgotten. He should acquire
the qualities of great leaders—ideal
ism, magnetism and the power to
command.
He will never know true great
ness until he has been through the
fire of adversity. He either imme
diately turns yellow or becomes
tempered, strong and true. We have
seen men fucod with adversity, lift
their eyes to Heaven and claim that
their strength came from that
Source.
Mr. Gibson was introduced by
Clarence Kipp and Pete Clement
expressed the appreciation of all.
Secretary Jack Cryderman read
communications from Joe Foster,
John Lockhart and Ken Bonesteel,
who are members on active service,
expressing their thanks for gifts of
the Digest.
President Harold Uren conducted
the business and committee reports
were given by Jack Barnes on
hockey; Gordon Pittock on the arena
project; Gordon Henry on "Joe Con
nell flight”; Gordon Bisbee-on boys*,
work and George Clifton on the
skating project. rThe sing song was led by Bert
Carr assisted by Ross Bigham at thepiano.

Ottawa’s economists are now try-,
ing to digest the latest British- pro-
posal for putting Canada-to-Britain
trade back on the rails, says The Fin
ancial Post. British plan involves a ;
nation-to-nation balance, which
would cause a most drastic reorinta-
tion of Canada's internal industry
and trade in addition to upsetting her
normal buying policies.
The Post points out that in a
nonpal year Canada sold nearly three ;times as much merchandise to Brit- ,
ain as Canada bought from her. To
make a balance would either require
a reduction in Canada’s exports or a
boost in her imports from Britain.
Because of the war, Canada needs
to import les* from Britain than be
fore, which further intensifies the
problem, says The Post. Next step
willx probably ,be up to the United
States, whose weight has not yet
•been thrown into' Ous discussion.

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 25, 1945Of Interest to WomenIf you have been trudging throughicy streets or standing long minuteswaiting for wintry transportation,chances are your feet are in need of
tender care. A brief pick-up that
does wonders for tired, aching feet
is “contrast” baths. 'Plunge the feet
in hot water—as hot as you can
stand, for about a minute and a half,
then in cold water for a short half
minute. This stimulates the circula
tion in the feet, relaxes the whole
body. For roughened heels and soles,
work up a good whipped cream
lather with your favourite complex
ion soap and scrub the skin briskly
with a medium-hard brush. Then
dry your feet thoroughly with a
Turkish towel, and apply a rich cold
cream to the red or roughened areas.
When cutting toe-nails, remember to
trim them straight across the top,

stains such as tea, coffee, fruit juices,
catchup, etc. And here’s a tip to
remember when sending a dress or
suit that has been spotted, to the
cleaners.' Do make a note of the kind
of stain and attach it to the gar

different stain removers, cleaners
tell us that a knowledge of the kind

saves time in the cleaning process,

With pretty baby garments so hard

prevent infants bonnets from shrink

grown-ups’ knitted sweaters. First,
draw the outline on heavy paper

Cod liver oil andorange juice spots should be washedout at once, to avoid staining.Cork Remove* Stains From SilverEvery good housewife is proud ofsilverware that’s sparkling bright allthe year around! To keep precioussilverware in good condition—remember to use it ofen, rather than
storing it away; the silver you use
all the time needs a little special
care. Simply wash it in warm
water and soapy-rich suds, rinse
thoroughly and dry each piece well
with a soft cloth. Wash knives, forks
and spoons separately to avoid
scratching; and don’t leave cutlery
to soak or the hot water may loosen
your knife handles. A light tarnish
on silver pieces disappears if you
rub them with a jeweller’s rouge
cloth. Stains and marks on silver
and plate are quickly removed, with
no danger of scratching, if you rub
them with a dry cork, Trim the cork
to a point to reach the discoloration
in deep crevices.
POTATO SURPLUS
IS MUCH HIGHER
THAN LAST YEAR
■ The value of the 1944 potato crop
in Ontario, is estimated at $15,082,-
000, according to the Statistics
Branch of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture. This figure is based
on a crop yielding 8,508,000 cwt.
from 120,000 acres, a total yield
which is more than one and one-
half million bushels more than the
1943 crop produced fromrn 116,000acres.
This increased yield was obtained
by favourable weather conditions
late in the growing season in many
potato producing areas, together
with specialized attention to the crop
by commercial growers, says R. E.
Goodin, potato fieldman for the De
partment.
According to the latest report of
the marketing service of the Domin
ion Department of Agriculture,
potato storage holdings in Ontario-
amount to 64,584 tons as compared
with 19,081 tons at the same date
last year. The estimated storage
stocks for the province of Quebec
ad the Maritimes amount to 58,361
tons more than last year. The estim
ated potato production of the 1944
crop in Canada is up by more than
six and one-half million bushels
above 1943.
Although active export demand
exists to the United States due to
a short crop in some areas, Ontario
potato growers with supplies on hand
might well consider that liberal
quantities of potatoes are in storage
according to the available figures as
quoted above, says Mr. Goodin.
Mostly due to transportation diffi-
ulties, potato prices have now
reached the ceiling on most markets,
and no further advance can be ex
pected at present. Under these cir-
stances, and in the' interests of
orderly marketing, growers would be
well advised to keep available sup
plies rolling to- market if at all
possible.

woollen socks, milts, turtle-necked

through the offices of the Navy
League of Canada, Ontario Division,
it makes them “gratified to know
that you have their well-being at
heart” as one letter from * sea man
read. Right now our lads and other
gallant men of the Allied navies are
battling it out with a devilish enemy

“Woollens and ditty bags and

THE CANADIAN
RED CROSS SOCIETY
Woman’a War Work Chairman Aaki
Co-operation of All Red Cron
■^Branches
Talling on the.women of Ontario
to “pick up their needles and knit as
never before sb that quotas may not
fall behind in 1945 u they did in
1944,” Mrs. J. C. Fraser, chairman
Ontario Women’s War Work Com
mittee, Canadian Red Cross Society,
addresses an earnest appeal to wor
kers in -all Red Cross branches of
the province. ‘‘This is the year we
should show that we can finish the
job we started out so enthusiastically
to do”, states Mrs. Fraser, pointing
out that though quotas (sewing) on
hospital supplies and civilian clothing
for 1944 have now been completely
issued, there still remains over
104,000 knittedcivilian comforts
and over 122,000 items ^f knitted
comforts for men and- women in the
services. ,
"The answer to’ the last appeal
issued In October has been magnifi
cent; and this departoe+it feels cour-
th** J ear wi^h any emergency it-ifaay bring, butteorder to
make this possible, urges Mr*.Fraser, "women must adopt the slo
gan ’knit and ship*. The needs of
women .and children in the mother
land, undergoing the strain of life in
the line of battle must appeal to us
living in the shelter and comfort
of Canadian homes.”
Wool, for tbeae comforts may be
had from the nearest branch of Red
Cross or.’ from a Women** Institute
*here there is no Red Cross branch.
I am sure that I am not alone in
my opinion when I say that one of
the finest and bravest organizations
on the face of this planet is the Sal
vation Army.
After a long, hot trip of several
weeks, I stood upon a street corner
in a Southern city and listened to a
service by a local group. I listened
to the clean words of the leader—
who was a woman—heard her in
spired, though brief talk, then lis
tened to a voice that rose above the
din of traffic, clear and beautiful, in
one of the old songs. There was not
a sneering face in the audience,
which was what one might well call
a mixed crowd.
A prayer was offered and then a
call for hands among the listeners
who wished to have prayers offered
for them. Several hands arose. Then
another of those sweet songs by the
leader, whose very'face shone with
triumph—stamped with the joy of
unselfish service.
ThTs writer wasn’t any too happy,
alone in a big city, and his eyes got
a little wet under his glasses, and
so, after a contribution to the
shaker thing they pass around, he
moved away—himself washed out
anew in his heart.

Library borrowers read 3,175 morelibrary books in 1944 than the yearbefore. The circulation of juvenilebooks reached a new high as did thatof adult non-fiction. Fiction readingalso increased but it is still not upto pre-war levels. The cicrulationfigures are as follows—■Adult nonfiction, 6,464; adult Action, 26,377;
juvenile, 12,744, making a grand
total of 45,585.
Fewer books were added to the
shelves last year because of In
creased cost and the shortage of re
prints. A total of 833 were added at
a cost of 81,165.30. The library
subscribed to 38 periodicals at a
cost of $113.70 and 16 periodicals
were donated. About 1000 clippings,
pamphlets and magazines were bor
rowed. As the Library is a member
of the Oxford County Library Asso
ciation about 300 extra books a year
are made available to readers.
Work with Schools—A total of 14
rooms in the Public Schools made use
of book cbllections loaned by the
Library, either regularly or occasion
ally. These collections consist of 20
or more books and are changed 3 or
4 times a year. They circulated a
total of 3,631 times. In the fall the
three first forms of the Collegiate

land and were given a talk on lib
rary methods and books by the lib
rarian. *'
Exhibitions—There have been two
art exhibits shown at the Library so
far—Photography from the London
Fotoforum and Canadian Art in silk
screen stencils. The third exhibit is
now ready and is a collection of
prints from the National Gallery,
showing the history of British painting up to 1850. - • - -
ductions of many famous paintings
by such artists as Gainsborough,
Romney, Reynolds, Turner and Con

expressed a desire to form a group
to meet and study and paint. The
Board has agreed to allow the base
ment of the Library to be used for
this purpose and anyone interested
should inquire at the Library about
it
Other activities—Last February, in
response to requests, a Book Club
was formed for discussion of books.
There have been eight meetings of
this group and a variety of topics
consisting of book reviews, play
reading and current affairs.
For children, the Saturday morn

In the fall some of the stories were
put on as plays by the children. Mrs.

hoarding of used cars the new regu

Letter Dowd tries to enlist In theCoast Guard but is turned down becauseof a "facial squint’* The doctor refuseseven to examine him. Commander Whitman, an old friend of the family, endeavors to get a waiver for Lester so hecan Join V-7. but after weeks of waitingLester learns they still Insist on twoyears of college math. He Is successfultn joining the V-5 Naval Aviation and issent to Anacostla Naval Base. Aftermaking his 'first solo lllght he gels athree-dsy furlough and visits his folksin Chicago. The furlough ended, heleaves for Corpus Christi, where he soongets acquainted with service-type air-craft, another feature of basic training.He tries to go aloft but the brakes arelocked and he does not know how to release them. He is summoned before theboard to explain. X.
Going before the Board was serious business. It was trouble. TheBoard acted as a high court. If acadet was unable to meet his flyingrequirements, or if he was guilty ofsome outlandish aerial escapade,he was haled before the Board. ForInstance, Heinie Tile flew under arailroad bridge. He went before theBoard. There the records were
carefully examined and the defend
ant’s argument heard. If the casewent against you, the cadet was"washed out” and his flying careerterminated as of that date. Theoretically, you could go beyond theBoard and appeal to the Admiral.This was attempted occasionally,and sometimes successfully, by will
ful individuals who would not take
“no” for an answer. If the Admiralturned you down, I suppose it waswithin your rights to go on to Washington and appeal to the Chief Executive. It had never been done.For the rank and file, the Board'sword was final. Some day, how
ever, an enterprising cadet is going to get extra time from Mrs.
Roosevelt.News of my predicament spreadrapidly. The fighting fifth battalionwas behind me to a man. Theywere sympathetic, but powerless.Several privately confessed they didnot know how to release the brakesthemselves. They thanked their
gods the ■■unpredictable” had notturned on them as it had on me.“You're a victim of circumstance,” grieved Red Run."They’re making an example ofyou.” was the way Rocky Tardgrimly analysed the situation.
To Rocky, who was influenced byseveral years in a West Virginiacoal union, it was a case of'exploi-tation by a privileged commissioned
minority. Sunday night when thingslooked very black, Rocky Jumpedup like Cleon addressing the Athenians. He outlined the pressure ofunity, explained the right to strike,and closed with the oft-quoted"United we stand 1”
Eventually, cooler heads won the
meeting.. Red Run pointed out thatin the Navy, "United, we go to.Portsmouth.”Organized dissent is mutiny.Of course, the proposed walk-outnever came off, and it is well thatit did not. Labor never would haveforgiven us.
The next morning I dressed inmy blues. You were required to go
before the Board shined and polished, and it was to your advantageto do so. To some extent the decision was Influenced by the defendant’s bearing. ,"Just tum on the old militarycharm," advised Tim Carpenter.
I arrived at.the AdministrationBuilding a few minutes beforeeight. The secretary, who wore herblonde hair in a pile on top of herhead, was flitting around the table, placing the chairs and arrangingpapers. I asked her to give me
some idea of the execution, and she
outlined the entire procedure."Lieutenant Commander Wells,the squadron’s_jskipper, sits at the: head of the table.: .Lieutenant Commander Kenwood rflts here, Lieuten-■infr Commander Wright, in chargeof ground school, -its here, Lieuten
ant Commander Apelgat’e, in charge
of cadets, sits here, and EnsignHigs sits here.”"What happened to Higs?” Iasked."He’s the psychiatrist,” she saidreverently.•‘What's he doing here?”
"He knows more about you than
you know about yourself. Freudand all that.” Her gestures encompassed the arcane. "You don't knowbow much of that is bound up inour everyday Navy life. You bettergo out tn the ball and walk They'llbe here any minute."There was one case before mine.One cadet "kept getting airsick every
time be flew.' Nobody wanted himaround, and he himself was anxiousto take up something else.""I think I'll get a commission,”he confided excitedly before goingin to hear the Board's decision.
Whin be came, out be wMs deathly
"They're going ta'maks tests onme." be iKtid faintly.
I heard from him later. He wassent to "an experimental field, where. hu unfortunate talents were given .fuh Vlty. > He was died ga a guineaptc Uy a doctor wins was^doing re-sc h for the Nervy m nausea. One
simple sentence spoke only too eloquently:‘Tve been up every day thisweek.”My name was called. I walkedIn straight and stiff as if I had spentfour years at Culver."Aviation Cadet Lester Dowd,
Class 10-D," I announced properly."Oh. yes,” said the skipper,thumbing through papers.While he studied the briefs, therest of the panel stared silently atme. At first I employed a sweeping gaze that flashed around the ta
ble like a beacon. After^p few
sweeps I realized this gave themthe advantage of concentrated fire,and I shifted to a steady eye. Icould turn back everybody exceptthe psychiatrist. He sat closest tome. He was a thin, wasted manwith glasses. There was an empty
expression of intense kindness on
his face. I tried for two minutessteadily to break him down, butit was no use. I went back to shooting down the others individually."Sit down, Dowd,” said Mr.Wells."Thank you, sir.”
"What’s this about the brakes?”
he asked petulantly."I didn’t know how to unlockthem, sir." I confessed."Yes, you did.” be Insisted Impatiently. He swung sideways onhis chair, raised his feet of! the
getting colder. When I opened mywindows last night, looked out at
the solitary sentries, who are al
ways the last human beings I see atnight and the first I see in the morning, I wished I could do somethingto keep them warm.”In moments of stress one is aptto distort his personal problem, butif it came to the worst I deter-
rqined then and there to go to her.
I would not shove in ahead of theCamp Fire*Girls. I would wait patiently in line with Mrs. EvelynWalsh McLean, confident that neither Board, nor brakes, nor bleary-eyed psychiatrists could barm me
as long as she was there. And shepromised to be there a long, longtime."Mr. Dowd," said the secretary.I walked into the room with newassurance.Mr. Wells rose. Ensign Higs stoodover by a window, his hands behind
his back. It appeared that his votehad not been counted."Aviation Cadet Dowd,” beganLieutenant Commander Weils, "itcosts the Navy twenty-seven thousand dollars to train you. To datewe have squandered approximatelyfourteen thousand to that purpose.
It is the considered opinion of thisBoard that we are in too deep toexpel you. and therefore we havedecided, In spite of the risk, to continue your flight training.”

atrist.
"Nobody told me how, sir,” Itried to explain."Nobody has to tell you a thinglike thatl” bellowed Mr. Wells."You do it naturally.'iThere was a lull. Everybodyseemed to feel the skipper was' essentially right, but that somehow
the truth had not been completely
revealed. Ensign Higs leaned forward."Was there something on yourmind?” he asked softly.The question was aimed pointblank at the unconscious. If I said“no,” It would convey the impres
sion of an old, vacant lot, and every
body would lose interest The trialwas going against me.
“Come, now, what was on yourmind?" he said again, feeling thatthis was definitely the psychiatrist’sprovince."Those Niccan barks of yore.” Isaid slowly. If be wanted wheel*

“Nicean barks of yoref” he cried.Everybody leaned toward the psychiatrist for an interpretation.I nodded."It wasn’t your mother or a cous

chance to prove himself, , and hewas banking heavily on a standardfixation. The secretary watched intently, convinced there was a lotof "that” bound up in my everyday Navy life."What's an this got to do with it.Higs?” snapped Mr. Wells, who bad
no use for the psychiatrist. "If a
man can’t think of Nicean what-ever* and release the brakes too”—he waggled his feet some more—"then the Navy doesn't want him;"-"Dowd, you wait outside a minute," urged Mr. Higs.After-1 closed the d&or, the die- ■cussion mounted and fell in wavek
on Mr. Higs. I could hear the muttered rumblings as the Board foughtto a Just decision. There was acopy of the Corpus Christi CallerTimes on the sofa. I turned to theeditorial page and the opinions ofgreat minds,as another might reachfor aspirin. There she wa*, a

"Thank you, sir,” I beamed.On my way out. Mr. Wells called:"Dowd, about those Nicean barks.
Couldn't you, wouldn’t you . . ."
"Yes, sir,” I said, and left.
I once took some vocational testsat the Stevens Institute in Hoboken.- The results proved to everybody's
satisfaction that as far as science
could tell I bad no scientific bentwhatsoever. If any additional evidence were necessary, I rememberMr. Glossup. back at Anacostia,was moved to shout at. me, "ThereIs not a mechanical gene in yourentire make-up!”
I believe there was one in thebeginning, but it collapsed early in
life when Father kept bringing me
"Zeus Chemical Sets" to play with.Like many forward-thinking menhe believed science might yet saveus, and he was determined I shouldknow about it Sometimes hebrought home two sets a week.Nobody in the household dared
throw the things out for fear they
might "go off.” Consequently theypiled up untouched in my roomuntil one rainy afternoon I turnedto the compounds in desperationfor amusement I decided to concoct some green ink, the young Edison’s equivalent of baking-powder
biscuits. There were four separate
experiments, but each one turnedout brown, made a stain, andsmelled.
-With this behind me, I anticipat-. ed the difficulties of the Instrumentsquadron, a technical, hell if‘therewas ever one. The work was purescience" from the top of the bottle.
Stated in broad terms, the aim nfthe instrument squadron was toteach a mechanical method of overcoming obstacles of night flyingand bad weather and also show onehow to handle a radio range. Everybody had trouble with the course,
but I died a little. I left a dubious
record behind, however. Nobodyhas yet approached the cock-eyedsplendor of my first attempt in theLink trainer.
Most of the training took place onthe ground tn an electrically operated apparatus that resembled a stubby.fuselage motrfted on springs. Inside it was the duplicate of a cork-
pit and instrument panel completewith compasses, artificial horizon,rate of climb, altimeter, and airspeed indicator. Such was (he Linktrainer. There was’ Just roomenough for the pilot who squeezed...himself insidtf and pulled a liddown over him. When the instructor. who sat at the control table,turned on the power, actual conditions at instrument flight were re
produced. The problem, of course,was to keep this tr diner in a normal attitude solely by reference toa batch of gadgets.

This young girl is only one of the

There are still 24,097 in Britain and
within a short time we may expect

these girls in making travel arrange

operates hostels where they may stay

thus made may prove important
later on when inevitable problems
arise. These women will then feel
they can tum to The Army for

them in local community life.
During the first three weeks in

THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JAN. 25, 1945 _ .O T T A W AWEEK BY WEEK— By Dean Wilson —NEW EFFECTS OF THE WARThe intensification of the war onvarious battlefronts has been instrumental in bringing about drasticchanges in British and United States
undertakings on the home fronts and
these moves have caused reports of
various sorts to be circulated along
Parliament Hill about the most
likely effects of these Allied moves
upon the Canadian war effort at this
time. One report has claimed that,
similiar to the action taken in Wash
ington, there might be a re-examin
ation of certain men in Canada who
countries. In other words, it is whispered on Parliament Hill that somenew effects of the intensification ofthe war on various battlefronts maybe considered in Ottawa but thatthese will not necessarily strive to
equal or to view with decisions in
Washington or London.

had been already placed in low medi
cal categories either as permanent
cases or as temporary cases, with
this re-examination process of some
cases being considered a distinc^
possibility in Ottawa. Another re
port has insinuated that Canada
might be in favour of some kind of
compulsory service after this war
for certain military age groups in
line with such contemplated action
in Allied countries but there is noth
ing specific on this point in Ottawa
at this moment where concentration
is on current military problems rath
er than postwar affairs, though it is
recognized that compulsory military
training is favoured by certain ele
ments of the Canadian population
who have been advocating such a
policy as a post-war measure. All
in all, it is apparent along Parlia
ment Hill that some effects of the
moves in Washington and London in
the intensification of the war at this
point may bring forth some similar
action in Ottawa but nothing of the
unexpected is considered likely at
this time. In regard to the war in the
time, yet it is known in the capital
that the prospects for such a gath
ering in the immediate future are
poor because it is felt in political
circles that the Federal Government
will not change its mind about wait
ing for such a Conference until after
the next general election which is
most likely to be held in 1945. The
wise men insist that neither Premier
Drew of Ontario, nor Premier Maur
ice Duplessis of Quebec, are probable
to prove to be in harmony with cer
tain policies of the Federal Govern
ment. Likewise, th* Federal Govern*
ment is not likely to see eye to eye
with these Provincial Government
leaders. Moreover, there are so many
extremely important matters of tax
ation, social service, financial and
other affairs to discuss in post-war
relation.*: between the Provincial and
Federal Governments that it^_ is
deemed that only a Federal Govern
ment with a fresh, long mandate can
properly act in such momentous a
meeting of the authorities.

Far East, it must be emphasized that
Canada has been playing a signifi
cant role in such plans, with a Can
adian representative having been on
Pacific War Council in Washington
meetings where representatives there
included high officials from the Uni
ted States, Great Britain, Australia
New Zealand, China and The Neth
erlands. Indeed Canada’s military
staffs in general in Washington have
been increased greatly in this war
and they have taken part in some
important meetings, of joint military
staffs of Allied nations. Of course,
such new actions in the economic
sphere as meat, sugar, canned veg
etables, butter, and other rationed
articles in the United States or Brit
ain are not necessarily to be fol
lowed by the same or even similar
moves in Canada because the situa

In the background of the hints of
great struggle on the international

ver alnog Parliament Hill can detect
that there is unusually deep interest
in Ottawa now in the disclosure that
the last international air conference
nt Chicago almost broke up com
pletely since the representatives of
various nations seemed determined
to press their own national claims
rather than approach the problems
as international in scope. In fact, it
is reported that this struggle for
airway control or traffic is terrific
behind the scenes in several capitals
of tfie world, though it is suggested
indirectly in Caiada’s capital that
this country and the United States
may get together shortly in arreffort
to formulate a practical, working

Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
Ne,w York has come forth with a
statement that, if the Administration
in Washngton, is unwilling to pro
ceed with the famous St. Lawrence
Waterway and power project, ^hen
the State of New York should under
take this project in co-operation
with the Dominion of Canada and
the Provcince of Ontario. Since this
project involves, a tremendous econ
omic; or financial undertaking, thisemphatic nW] clear statement by the
New York Governor at. opening
of the legislator' for 19,45 at Albany
has aroused" widespread interest in
Ottawa;;However, it must’be pointed
out that there are some grave ob
stacles in any such undertakings at
this time. One obstacle is that war
time conditions would not encourage
such a move at this critical time.
Another obstacle is that, without
the co-operation of Washington au
thorities, it is not likely to stimu
late at.ion in. Ottawa. Then again,
there may be legal obstacles for the
State of New York- to proceed ‘in
as territories are re-opened for trade,
with France being the latest terri
tory of such action at the moment
as reports in the capital indicate that
France is most anxious to purchase
Canadian supplies of all sorts, in
cluding raw materials, food, etc.
Indeed, one report has stated that-
France’s industries are about eighty
per cent unimpaired, in face of the
war but there is a sad need of raw
materials of all kinds so that, if
France can get such materials or
equipment and if shipping can be
arranged, her industrial capacity
would be # greatly aided, perhaps,
brought back to normal.
INTERVIEW OF GREAT
INTEREST
Britain’s energetic Minister of
Agriculture, Hon. R. S. Hudson, paid
a quick visit to Ottawa during his
important conferences in Washing
ton. When he was in Ottawa, he
held a press conference and he made
some deep impressions by his dec
larations as well as his refusal to dis
cuss certain post-war matters, par
ticularly when he declined to discuss
possibilities of marketing Canadian
farm products in Britain after this
war since this was now under con
sideration of the British Govern
ment and no definite policy had
been defined. Likewise, he refused
to make any commitments in regard
to the import of Canadian wheat to
Great Britain after the war, re
marking that "wheat can be produced -cfieaper in Britain to-day ^han
in Canada?’ Among other things,he disclosedAhat the British Govern
ment had in mind to train about
100,000 veterans of -this war for
farms in the Old Country, though
he had to admit that Britain had an
unfortunate experience after World
War I when she placed ex-service
men on small holdings because the
experiment was not satisfactory and
most of these veterans' of the First
World War lost their money.

(This is one of a series of com
ments by well-known authorities,
written expressly for the Weekly
Press of Qntario.)
“First impressions are more last
ing”. When quite a young chap I
rode a bicycle over a road in Eastern
Ontario, which is now a provincial
highway. At one spot I always had
difficulty in pushing through several
rods of blow sand, drifted across
from an area of light soil.
In the intervening years, I have
motored several times over the
modern highway. No sand is to be
seen: A reforested plot—now well
developed knd most pleasing to the
eye—has remedied the situation. This’
was my first Idsson in “Soil Conser
vation.”
In later years I came to reside in
the County of .Oxford—a section,
for the most part; of good and
fertile, soil. But, in the south-west
portion of the county I saw, on my
first visit, an area of pine-stump
fences, of tumbled-down and aban
doned buildings, of light and blowing
sands, with here and there stalks of
rye surviving, maturing and propa
gating themselves. Obviously, rye
bad been grown as a last resort in
a field crop programme. Within a
few years, in the development of the
tobacco industry, this land was all
reclaimed and made productive for
the growing of tobacco, by the use
of cover crops, ploughed in to give
body to the soil, by the use of man
ure bought froth' general farms to
the. north and, of
liberal purchases
tilizers.
. This programme
possible because tobacco was then,
at least, paying much better than
the average farm crop and so the
operators were able' to buy manure
and fertilizers in large quantities.
Yet, one is q>liged to*ask: “Were it'
not far better had this land been
reforested immediately / after the
harvesting of the original pine crop?”
Especially, is this query pertinent
in Old Ontario, where already the
wooded area is running far below that
15 to 16 per cent, considered essen
tial in those European countries,
tehere much scientific study has been
giy<n to reforestation policies.
On a^ rather dreary August day,
while, Minister of Agriculture, T had
dqwisiori.'to - drive south-east over
Number 20 highway. I could hot
avoid feeling depressed,* as I viewed
farm after farm of heavj, yet rob
bed and depleted soil, which it would
take years to rebuild. An undue
surplus of bare fields, of unpainted
and decrepit houses and outbuildings,
a farmer and his wife hauling in
poor quality hay, with a poor qual
ity outfit, all provided ' mute but
concrete and convincing evidence
that, far too long • a time, aa the
®®ying goes, the«v 'farmers ‘'had sold
their manure over the mountain”,
to the fruit growers beyond. Such
observations make one wonder
whether correction to to be brought
about by arbitrary Government dic
tation or by intensive education.
Personally, I lean toward the the
latter.
course, by the
of artificial fer-
was only made
good soil is being carried to the val
leys- and flat surfaces below. This
calls for a proper system of drain
age, of contour ploughing and of
planting.
It is now almost an annua] story
to find an acute water simrtuge
many farms in Oi<l Ontario. In the
month of December, a shortage was
reported in ten counties—some in
the West and more in the East. This
is occurring in parts of the Province
where our yearly precipitation is
sufficient. Yet we are experiencing
floods at one time'of the year and
i vfater famines at another. With
swamps being cleared and drained,
with wooded areas becoming less and
less, with reforestation limited—in
spite of the commendable good work
of some municipal authorities—Old
Ontario is sorely lacking in water
reservoirs.
The whole problem is so big that
it calls for action in a big way. Sur
veys require to be made and acted
uponC Some projects will necessitate
prosecution exclusively by the Gov
ernment or ‘by a group or Commis
sion vested with government author
ity. Other soil conservation projects
will require considerable co-operation
upon the part of the fanners them
selves, Some activities are, indeed,
entirely within their own hands.
These include reforestation, where
some labour costs are involved, cover
and legume crops, wherein seed costs
are a factor, and it may indeed be
governmental conservation schemes,
to the farmers advantage, wherein
additional taxes are involved.
These are days when fanners are
conserving more money than they can
accumulate in normal times. It is an
excellent time to save money for
post-war improvements and for con
servation programmes. There is
every likelihood that these can be
done with greater (facility and at less
cost after the war than in these
years;
It is a most opportune time to
save, and savings should be placed
in some liquid form of investment
such as Victory Bonds.”
Hello Homemakers! Apples scoretheir perennial hit. Of all our generous health resources, there’s none
to surpass our grand Canadian
apples—big, rosy, luscious, and
healthful. Rightly indeed, do we
call them our national fruit In
many army camps men have yearned
for a crisp, juicy apple. We, who
take them for granted, should appre
ciate the satisfaction of eating the
raw fruit as well as the variety of
uses for cooking.
There’s more than mere myth in
the saying that “An apple a day
keeps the doctor away.” Apples have
really sound dietetic value—notably
in that they have a healthful effect
on the digestive system. Te/m them
with flour mixture and cereals, and
you'll have many a satisfying energy
rich dish; let the flour and cereal
be whole grain products and you
have a food that’s outstandingly
healthful!
To widen the scope of apple dishes
you serve, remember how well they
go with' main courses. Use applbb
not only in salads, but in savoury
casserole dishes with pork or veal.

you'll want to serve again and again.
