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 Ingersoll Cream Cheese. •» You can imagine how I felt, and Ingersoll really is good to us.

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.

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 death occurred on Sunday, January 21st of Miza Buchanan, wife of Eli L. Cook, at the family residence, Martha street. The late Mrs, Cook was in her 65th year.

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, not shaped or you’ll run the risk of nail growing into the flesh, resulting in an ingrown toe-nail. that could easily have been washedout in warm water and extra-soapysuds. It is handy to know that a clothdipped in warm, soapy water is thebest way to remove fresh household 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 ment Since different stains require different stain removers, cleaners tell us that a knowledge of the kind of stain on the garment not only saves time in the cleaning process, but assures a more satisfactory job.

To prevent infants bonnets from shrink­ ing, first draw and cut out the out­ line on cardboard, then wash in warm water and mild, safe suds. Rinse in water the same temperature as the suds and—to dry—slip, card­ board outline into bonnet and pin at opening. With sweaters, follow* the prescribed method used in washing grown-ups’ knitted sweaters. First, draw the outline on heavy paper and, after washing, shape or pin the garment to its outline.

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.

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*.

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.

Mr. Brown is a native of Yorkshire and displayed real artistry in his mani­ pulation of the organ. The program was built on classi­ cal lines of fine organ literature of the centuries. The annotations added I much to the understanding of the selections. Mr. Brown’s playing showed a command and technique that brought style, character and contrast of registration and interpre­ tation. The programme as presented was as follows: “Prelude and Fugue in C.

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.

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.” AVON Mr. and Mrs; J.

"That's all you do. You know how to do that,""I didn’t then.”"You did too!" he thundered."Anybody can do that any time.Kenwood can do it, Wright can doit. Apelgate can do it,” he roared,pointing around the table. "Higscan do it,” he added as an after­thought, motioning to the psychi­ 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* within wheels, be would get them. “Nicean barks of yoref” he cried.Everybody leaned toward the psy­chiatrist for an interpretation.I nodded."It wasn’t your mother or a cous­ in?”, he probed.--'1 Jhink it was Mr. Hi'gs* first 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.

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.

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.

They were meeting a friend coming in on a troop train and stopped to say “hello” to the Major whose hus­ band was a friend of the soldier overseas. This young girl is only one of the 2,585 girls to come to Canada. There are still 24,097 in Britain and within a short time we may expect French, Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian, Italian and others to be added to the list. The Salvation Army assists these girls in making travel arrange­ ments, gives lectures on.Canada and operates hostels where they may stay with their husbands and children in Halifax, and Montreal. The contact thus made may prove important later on when inevitable problems arise. These women will then feel they can tum to The Army for guidance and assistance in orienting them in local community life. During the first three weeks in January, 300 persons were assisted at the Halifax Hostel, 500 beds furn­ ished and more than 1,000 meals provided—all free of charge.

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. REAL REASON FOR DELAY While well-informed quarters in Ottawa have taken cognizance of the proposals in some sections of the country for the calling of a Do­ minion-Provincial Conference at this CAMPAIGN IN NORTH GREY VT.

BOOK FOR FUTUREOCEAN AIR TRIPS .10 THAMESFORD 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.

These involved the movement of 129,516 pounds of mail, 9,750 pounds of freight and 100 passengers. DORCHESTER 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 tion in distribution or production is quite distinctly different in various SERIOUS DISSENSION recovery after this war.

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 arrangement for such important traffic in the air between these two neighbouring countries.

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.

I tho t I was dreading.” “ ER SUITS ADIES dte- (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. Yott‘11 find dishes using apples that you'll want to serve again and again. Here are a few reejpes: Apple Fritter* 1 ’.a cups ready-mix for pancakes Finch of nutmeg uring.
