By Jim Gfeenblat
Night of July 9th.. While Brooke
Claxton, 'parliamentary assistant
addressed 'a sparse and somnam-
bulent House on External Affairs;
T had the' feeling somehow that
momentous thingswere in the
making. The Prime Minister , and
Defence. Minister, Ralston, only.
two cabinet : members present:'
were close in huddle in adjoining
front benches. The.. P.M. looked
grave and pre -occupied. He was
making a pencilled draft.. Correct-
ing, leaning over to check ' with
Mr. Ralston, pencilling some
more. At •8 o'clock next morning
I heard his. radip announcement
to. the nation that Canadians were
fighting on the 'beach heads 'of
Sicily. He may have been draft-
ing that important; speech as I
watched; even while all of Can-
ada was unaware of history -mak-
ing events taking , shape, thous-
ands bf .miles away. Surely they
knew, What- .a secret to --carry!
No stove league raised more.
fuss than sugar • for canning.
Housewives were definitely an-
noyed at the arbitrary allotment
after counting cans in the base-
ment. The' Opposition started a
warm -but : informative--debate'•in-
the House en thistmatter and Fin-
ance Minister Ilsley said know-
ledge of available supplies was
not known at the 'time. It was
estimated 30 to 40 per cent of the
population did their own canning.
Lo and - behold, actually 84 per=
cent applied. Now, in Germany.
and the' U.S.A., .a ..flat allocation
is made to each ration book hold•-
er,' whether for canning or not.
Canadians asked for 200 million
lbs.; only half that amount avail-
able. Certainly there will , be a
different approach 'to the problem
next year.

Who'd ever thought it! Re-
search experts of the .Department
of Agriculture, although mum on
the subject yet, are: working on
the production of rubber", :resins
and a superior kapok from species
of .the lowly milk ,tweed. A grou p
have returned here from the U.
S. A., where they conferred with•
experts ori progress made there
along the same line. It appears
it's , getting into the post -experi-
mental stage because I hear they
are even working on' harvesting
methods and machinery .to make
the once -pest get to work for the'
war .effort.

Probably inbre._CWAAC's, . etc.,
'in Ottawa than any other single
place. My observation here is that
Canada can be proud of them.
From what I've seenin the nat-
ion's capital their bearing, con-
duct and deportment on the
whole is excellent. It could be
that some civilian *omen do not
set the same standard.

Come prepared.. Probably trad-
ition,'

House of Commons galleries with-
out a hat have to spread a ker-

Directed toward greater effici-
ency in manpower allocation it is
announced here that a represent-
ative ' of .National Selective Ser-
vice will be located at army re-
ception centres to interview re-
jected applicants for 'enlistment.
If sympatfheticall, __ A andle. i.
my, opinion, this should help to
put more round pegs in round
holes of• the agricultural and in-
dustrial war effort.

P The Prices Board has. granted
an increase of 2-3 of, a , cent a
dozen '.on clothes .pins. Doesn't
seem much, but What does it
mean to Canadian housewives?
Curious I checked, found,they 'use
annually around one million. 320
thousand gross, or -over 190 .'nail-.
lion' pins .to hang out the wash.

In a spirit of humility but 'res-
olution, I thought, political lead-
ers in the. House referred. to. Dom-
inion Day, 1943, as they were in
session. Significant excerpts!
Prime ' Minister King, "By our
strength in war, and by our un-
derstanding and co-operation 'in
peace, Canada can contribute
mightily ,to the building of a .bet-
ter, world".. Mr. Graydon, Progres-
sive=Conservative: ". our
armed forces, we owe them--
'debt
heme debt . of gratitude .difficult to pay
. resolve to pay them that
debt, no arnatter. bow much it May,
be". Angus Maclnnis, C. C. F.,
pinch-hitting: "If 'we are ,to have ,
peace and harmony then we shall
have . to start thinking in terms
of world community, not
Saxon,' not only of English speak -
I ing •. races, but of , the whole
I world". °

I.- Jielp. He needs your help to produce the food so
necessary for victory. • Many , thousands .. of 'farm
workers are serving in the Forces, so that the farmer.
—the ..Soldier of the Soil—is shorthanded, but

powerful weapons -of war. Grains, bacon, dairy pro-
ducts, eggs, beef, fruit, vegetables—FOOD to feed .
our armies, our allies and our people we must have.
