A habit is a difficult thing to break but it as absolutely ne­ cessary to conserve gasoline and if people do not coeoperate with the Oil Controller’s requests then another and more stringent method will have to be applied. Most people are very anxious to do their part in this war time effort, but there are some who just shrug their shoulders. These peo­ ple who do not coperate will be the first to 'kick if stiffer restrictions have So be made and they are the people who will cause greater restrictions to be instituted. Four Yolks in Egg Canadian hens, imbued with the war tssne spirit, seem to be out to produce bigger and bigger eggs.

ANY OLD POTS AND PANS When we were a young lad bare-; footing it about the streets we were; much intrigued by the voice of the rag man as he shouted rags, bones and. Bottles. Salvage collection since that; time has developed into big business, i and today it has another importance! that makes it one of the greatest ne­ cessities within our nation. Salvage! in other words is playing an focreas-j ■ingly important part in our war effort. The collection of salvage across our; country has been organized into a high; state of efficiency and must be kept that way if we are to carry ©n our: war effort as we should. At present a drive is being made for waste alum-' mum, this much needed metal that is so vital to the manufacture of planes. The government has asked the people, of Canada to turn over -all the alumin­ um articles that ■ they possibly can. They state however that no one should donate any article which would have; to be replaced.

Their methods ©f operation, would tut ®ne -qf the ■old- time pirates of history to shame. They pull up usually .on a day when you're puhing onions or picking ap­ ples or some other such task. As is customary 'tn the farm everybody goes into the house and the general ■con­ versation drifts along. Soon they be­ gin to ask about the crops. Their an- terest is flattering to a certain extent . . . and certainly very suspicious. It seems strange tiat sntih confirmed city-dwellers skouM be interested in the -crop at Lazy Meadows.
