Not only is amatuer vegetable gar­ dening an excellent hobby for the man or woman who works at a bench or desk all day, but Mr, Rush declares that it is one definite way to aid in, the national war effort. It is likely, says this expert, that the supply of commercially grown vegetables .will this year be less than in former years. The reason for this is self-evident. Lack of man­ power has caused a number’ of com­ mercial vegetable farms to curtail, and in some cases, cease operations. Transportation too, is an everyday problem" which is becoming increas­ ingly difficult to solve. • care in planting, soil preparation, I and cultivation, the average home gardener can be sure of a constant supply -of vegetables throughout the summer season. Such vegetables as tomatoes, cab­ bage, beets, carrots, onions, lettuce, radishes, corn, potatoes peas, beans and cucumbers can be grown in a home garden. Of course, Mr. Rush, states, such an undertaking involves a centain amount of study and hard work, but the rewards are gratify­ ing and the exercise gained from working in the open air is condu­ cive to good health. He advises all Canadians who have gardens to plant vegetables this spring, thus, truly going all out for Victory. Bray Chick Hatchery Exeter, phone 246 Alvin W. Kerslake, Hensall or N. M.

W.M.S.DIES AT SANATORIUM >On the other hand, Mr. Rush .points. out. that every Canadian in these days of wartime stress needs precibpjs vitamins to keep up his and her strength and energy for the " task ahead. Therefore, he says the solution is 'home vegetable gardens. Elower gardens are lovely, he says, but they are short on the valuable commqdity-T-utility. Any household­ er who has available a plot of . ground, small though it may be, can ,becom.e;‘ a- Victory gardener. As ■long aa if. is located where the sun .pan get at it readily, away from ■overhanging shade trees, and with reasonably, good soil, any garden, says Rush, can be made to provide its contribution of fresh, crisp green, and yellow vegetables.

Closed Wednesday Afternoon i f Canada needs and must have every spoonful of fat drippings, every piece of scrap fat and every bone from evesy kitchen in Canada. Fats make glycerine and glycerine makes high .explosives. Bones produce fat. Also glue for war industry. Don’t.throw away a single drop of used fat bacon grease, meat drippings, frying fats every kind you use. They are urgently needed to win this war. Strain all drippings through an ordinary strainer into a clean wide-mouthed can. Save your scrap fat (cboked' or uncooked) and all types of bones—cooked, uncooked or dry. When you have collected a pound or more of fat dripping, take it to your meat dealer who will pay you the established price for the drip­ ping and the scrap fat. Or you can dispose of them through any Municipal or Salvage Committee collection system IN EFFECT an your community. Be a munition maker right in your own kitchen. For instance, there is enough ex­ plosive power hidden in ten pounds of fat to fire 49 anti-aircraft shells.

They are not only working in factories, oi’ in the women’s divisions of the armed forces, but they are acting as clerks in offices, banks, hotels and stores, as bellboys, porters, guards on the railways, fire watchers, tick­ et collectors or conductors and buses, farm labourers, policemen. In America there is only in charge of a bus, and he collects tickets or fares, and acts as chauf­ feur and conductor. In England all the buses are built so that the chauf­ feur sits in a little compartment by himself, almost ovei- the he were to collect the buses would all have to The ticket collectors are and so are many of the In the cities omnibuses have re­ placed trams years ago in most cases. Nearly all the conductors are women, and' it is very hard work. Such a thing as paying the fare when entering a bus or tram is I apparently unknown over there. They do not have a flat fare of two pence or three pence, but a gradu­ ated rate which may be anything from one penny up through all the halfpence to six or seven pence. This means that the women have to find out where you are going, calculate the fare, select the proper ticket from a large double bank of tickets which they harry on a hold­ er, make change, and go through both decks of the bus, which means running continuously up and down the stairs. -Usually the bus is crowded, which makes it more dif­ ficult for them. With so many strang­ ers in England, they have to keep answering such question's has how to reach different points. They also have to watch where they are, call out the stops, signal to start and stop the bus, and make sure that ' some stranger does not go past his [or her destination. The women on buses really work hard. A large number of women are doing fire-watching duties. This us­ ually means staying up all night and patrolling roofs and alleys. When a Canadian looks over the skyline Of English towns and cities, the first thing that strikes him is the appear­ ance of the English roofs Which are usually all cut up With all kinds of turrets and chimney pots. Every building lias anywhere Up to a doz­ en or more of these chimney pots. They add considerably to the diffi­ culties of properly patrolling the roots. Ladders are Often kept on the roofs so that any part can be quickly reached. This work is most impoi’tant dur­ ing raids. Brompt handling of In­ cendiaries on these roots >makes the difference between little damage and staggering losses. About the •■time that the Bomber Dress arrived in England, the lion.

At all the Air Force stations that we visited there were W.A.A.F.’s doing the cooking, washing the dish­ es, waiting on table, operating the telephones and radio controls, and doing clerical and other work. Women appear to be doing nearly everything on the railways except driving the engines. Most of the guards at the stations are women, and they may also be seen handling trucks with express and baggage. Incidentally, the traveller in Eng­ land today is expected to look after his own baggage, not only on trains,, but also in the hotels. The mobile canteens, so many of which have been provided by var­ ious organizations and municipali­ ties in Canada, South Africa, Aus­ tralia and other' parts of the British Commonwealth, are operated by women, and their heroism during j each blitz will make a glorious story in history. The nursing profession has always been an honored one, and the nurs­ es in this war are upholding all their traditions. It would be impossible to tell of all the varied jobs that women in | England are doing today in addi­ tion to those mentioned already, I such as looking after babies, while their mothers are working in muni­ tion factories and other places, col­ lecting salvage, helping in canteens and soldiers’ hostels, and, if unable to do anything else, entertain troops in their own homes. The oustanding characteristics of tho women of England today are their cheerful acceptance of added burdens and their sincere desire to do something to help. Above all they are a wonderful inspiration to their men. Without the efforts of the wo­ men the story of the progress Of the war might very probably have been entirely different today, B.
