That will enable it to reduce commercial flying time from Los Angeles to New York to 814 hours. T.W.A.'s fastest coast-to coast flight is 13 hours, eight minutes. , — Japs Boasting U. S. Mainland 1Vlay,, Be Seized New York, - The Tokyo press had a field day of ,propaganda broadcasts heard here showed, over the shelling of the California coast last week by a Japanese submarine. The newspaper Asahi told the Japanese people New York had ordered a blackout. Kigu- min, said the attack disclosed Such weakness that "occupation of the. United States mainland no longer is in the, realm of dream," Liquor Restrictions In • .Australia Planned Melbourne, -,--Extensive restrictions of the Australian liquor industry .is, likely in the near future. The Com- monwealth Department of War Org; anization is considering a number of proposals, including prohibition of "shouting" (buying of drinks for ' friends), reduction of the alcoholic strength of beer, restriction of hotel trading hours, and restriction of liquor manufacture to percentages of the base production quota. • Sees Chance to Destroy Hitler This Summer New York, - Maxis Litvinov, Russian ambassador to the United States, declared that he believes Hit- ler can "be destroyed by the summer." In his first public address since taking over his post in Washington, broad- cast and delivered before the Over- seas Press Club, the Soviet ambassa- dor Warned that the opportunity for a- summer victory over Hitler might be missed and said; "Only by shnul- taneou's offensive operation on two or more fronts separated by long dist- ances could Hitler's armed forces be disposed of and' that is why Hitler would dislike such operations." Binder Twine Supply Will Last For 1942 Only Toronto, - Farmers -will not go ,short on their binder twine require- ments to harvest the 1942 crop, but will have to find other types of rope than manila for other farm uses, as result of restrictions which have been placed on the sale of manila rope ,in Canada. Tie outbreak of war in the Pacific' has jeopardized future sup- plies of manila fibre, which largely come from the Philippines and the Dominion government, has taken steps to conserve available supplies of both manila fibre and rope for es- sential purposes. This type of rope is now restricted to a few marine and drilling uses. Ottawa Decides on Wheat Policy Ottawa, - The Government, it was learned, has reached its decision on the 1942 wheat policy. • It appeared likely the Government has adopted a bonus-perrbushel ar- rangement to `give Western farmers more money for their wheat, rather than by increasing the initial price of 70 cents a bushel. It was known the Government has considered the bonus proposal. Re- ports, unconfirmed, were that the bon- us might be 20 cents a bushel. Municipalities to be Protected Ottawa, - Municipalities will be protected against loss if the Dominion Government's proposal to take over provincial income tax fields is adopted, the finance minister, lion. J. told Mayor F. r, Conboy„ of Toronto. "'following uonference with Ur. lisley, Mayor Conboy released a statement prepared by the finance minister. "If the present proposal is accepted the corporation income tax in muni- civalities will be changed, in form to business or similar tax to yield equiv- alent revenue," the statement said, ,„. Thinks People Will Demand Two Together .Ottawa - Conscription of men for t • Overseas service and ,conscription of wealth will be decided upon when the time for decision arrives and not be- fore, Prime ;Minister King told the House of Commons in a plea for all- party support of the affirmative side of the forthcoming plebiscite. While he stressed the importance of the Government obtaining release from its previous pledges against overseas conscription, he declined to say what the Government would do in the event of any particular result in the plebiscite voting. Dead and Missing at Hong Kong 296 Ottawa, - News that 296 Canad- ian soldiers are dead or missing after the losing battle fought by Canadian and Empire troops against the Jap- anese at Hong Kong was given the House of Conimons, The information came from De- fence Minister Ralston in a brief statement. He had no further infor- mation about the 1,985 Canadian of- ficers and men who went to Hong Kong in Mid-November. Actually Col. Ralston's information, relayed to Canada from Japan by way of Argentina, said only that Canadian prisoners of war taken at Hong Kong numbered 1,689. Mexico Makes All Japs Leave Pacific Coast Mexico City, - Japanese residing in Mexico's Pacific Coast area have been ordered to move at least 100 miles inland immediately as a precaution against sabotage and Fifth Column activities, federal authorities announc- ed, Accused Found Insane by Jury Barrie, - A Supreme Court jury found John Theodore Brook, 36- year-old Alliston, Ont., farm hand, "not guilty on account of insanity" of the murder of Wilfred. Daley, 16, of near-by Alliston last November 23. Daley was found shot to death in Brooks' home. A statement given pol- ice by Brooks said a revolver he was showing the boy discharged suddenly. Justice J. C. Makins ordered Brooks held in custody at the lieutenant; governor's pleasure, PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By H. J. Boyle realize that it is bedtime. Can it be possible? There's only a pile of shav- ings on the floor to give indication of the work accomplished but on the other hand the axe-handle is definitely taking shape. I'm a left-hand chopper and so it must have the proper twist to accomodate that fact. The axe-handle neared completion. The knob-end was whittled down comparatively smooth. Then there was the finishing-off process. Carefully hoarded glass from a broken stable window was handy for this work. Fine scrapings would curl up and roll off into a mound on the floor, Scrape .. . scrape . . . scrape and each motion seemed to leave the handle smoother. Clean wood gleamed in the light flick- ering through the stove-grates. We intended leaving the old handle in the axe until it broke but there was a sort of urge to try out_ the new one when it was made. The old handle was burned out first. Then came the task of fitting the new handle into the head of the 'axe. The head must be 'heated but not enough to destroy the temper of it. Then the handle was slipped into it. We put the wedge in while the head was still hot . . . and then the whole thing was plunged into water to cool off. The tanh was finished. How nicely it "hefted". There are no snags to catch on your fingers. The axe "whisked' through the air and there was a dull klop" as a maple block fell apart cleanly and evenly. The axe-handle was a decided ,Success, MOLESWORTH 35 pr. socks; 6 helmets; 6 scarfs; 7 pr. gloves; 4, pr. mitts; 5 tuck-ins. oFr the needy-29 girls' dresses; 4 girls' night dresses; 12 childs pyjama suits; 4 infants nighties; 2 infants slips; 1 pr, childs bloomers; 1 infants afghan; 3 pr. childs slippers and 24 quilts.

VEGETABLE SEEDS ARRIVE IN BRITAIN Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario Send Two Tons to British Women's Institutes For Early Spring Planting. A large shipment of the two tons of vegetable garden seeds being sent by the Federated Women's Institutes Of Ontario to the British Women's Institutes for early spring planting, has arrived safely in Britain„according to the officials of the Women's Insti- tute Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto. The' seed cost $2,000 and will augment to a consid- erable extent Great Britain's fresh vegetable output this year. Several Horticultural Societies, including Wel- land and those in the Ottawa Valley, contributed generously, to the fund. Recently the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario have presented $500 to the Chinese War , Relief fund, the money going to Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek for distribution. Final figures show that the Ontario Red Cross Society has shipped 233,- 232 pounds of jam overseas, the result of a joint. effort of the Women's In- stitutes and Red Cross. The total for Canada was 460,588 pounds. Reports of local Women's Institute branches show that $97,024 was raised for war work. Branches are working through the local Red crOss, the Navy League, the Salvation Army or local patriotic organizations. Members 'have sewed 107,466 garments for civilian and hospital use, and -have knitted 124,- 724 articles. Every district has its special local undertakings. Included in , these was the pickle shower for Camp Borden by Grey County Institutes through which 3,000 pounds of pickles were sent to grace army dinner tables. Peel County members mend and sew for a school of British war guests, while Kdnt county members sent two can- ning machines to Kent, England. East- ern Ontario sent a generous supply of maple sugar to the Navy League while Kenora members turned in enough old woolens to have 120 blankets made for shipment to' Britain. South Renfrew County Women's Institutes have rais- ed $521 for a Spitfire fund in Eng- land. Two mobile kitchens 'contributed for overseas by the Women's Institutes of Ont. have been doing magnificent work in two large British centres, ac- cording to Col. Scott of the Red Cross Society, overseas. There are 40,000 rural women who are members of Women's Institutes in Ontario.

"Axe-Handles" If you want to see a workman at his very best, then watch a man making an axe-handle. Take particular notice of the care he lavishes on it, the pride he takes in Making it perfect and a- bove all the fact that he will spend hours in creating an article which he could secure for fifty or seventy-five cents at a store in the village. The machine-age has progressed to a point of perfection unheard of in years gone` by, but a machine still is not able to manufaCture an axe-handle to suit a farmer or a man who enjoys working with an axe, To the ordinary man an axe-handle produced in Mass production methods may look even more perfect than a home-made one but the man who knows, feels that it hasn't got the right "heft" to it. For weeks I worked making a new axe-handle, The old one was frayed and tracked and bound with stove- pipe wire. Knowing that it was only a matter „of., time until it would break, work was started before Christmas on the handle. A cherished stick of what we fondly refer to as "tough ash" was taken down from the driving shed. Straight-grained and trite and certain never to break unless wielded in the wrong way the required size of wood was split from it, A wedge pounded in one end split it down straight. Then came the work with the draw- knife. Each evening a neat pile of shavings aecumulated on the kitchen floor to the secret horror of ,Mrs, Phil, But they were clean shavings that could easily be swept up. Soon the shape of the handle began to appear, That's when the real work began. Just so ranch off here and so much off there. The "heck" mug be true and a sharp jack-knife seemed the best imp- lement for getting that necessary "crook" in It. A slip of 'the knife would have Meant destroying a very valuable piece of wood and putting much work to no avail. Tirric passes quickly when you're doing something you enjoyv it seemed scarcely possible each night that an hour or two hours could go by so quickly, YOU look up at the Block and (Intended for last week) On Monday evening the friends and neighbours of Mr, and Mrs. Clare Campbell, who were recently married, met in the Commithity Hall and pre- sented thetn with a miscellaneous shower. Mrs. Tom McClement read the address to which Clare replied, and all joined in singing, "For 'They are Jolly 'Good Fellows." Tice evening was spent in dancing. We welcome Mrs. Campbell to our community. Mrs John McIntosh returned to her home Monday after spending some weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Amos Fullerton, 3rd line Wallace, recuper- ating from her recent, operation in Listowel Memorial Hospital, Coder. Tom Cumming, on H.M.,C.S. Skeena battleship, spent a few days last week With his father, Mr, Tom Cummings and friends here. Tom had the experience of battle on the ocean, when the Skeena was one of the ships on convoy which was attacked by en- emy submarines, which was held off for 66 hours. At the present time the Skeena ii in dry dock at Halifax undergoing repairs, Tom's many friends here were pleased to see him, Mr. and is,Prs, J. D. Ellesley, receiV- ed word from England that their son Gm% Ellis Ellesley Thad been badly hurt in an aeveident, Ellis is a dispatch rider and was on duty in a blackout when in souse , way ,his motorcycle went out of control. He was thrown off getting his leg broken and hip badly jammed. He will spend. some time in the hospital.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR TEETH According to Dr. M. H. Zimmer- man, instructor at the School of Dent- istry, New York University,. must people do not look after their teeth properly. This lack of proper care has the result that by the age of 25 most people average four teeth lost; by :ft the number has increased to seven, and by 40, there are about 10 gone. Dr. Zimmerman explains that much of the fault lies with the cleaning de- partment of teeth care. The simple rotary movement that children. MAW, when brushing their teeth is nor eak- ough. They are first teeth, but adults, must attack their molars much, more: vigorously. This includes daily mas- saging of the gums and cleaning, of dims crevices between the teeth. A small brush, with a stiff bristle!: is best to use, Unless there is ackm=.: special dental condition, any' good-la:3N- vertised brand of toothpaste' wilt dirs.. There are several directions to clean. thoroughly-front, inside top and bet, torn,. outside top and bottom and. the same for both left and right side teeth. Dr. Zimmerman recommends brush- ing the teeth after every meal, but twice a clay is actually sufficient, if the job is done conscientiously. When trouble develops with the bone structure of the teeth, investi- gation often proves that the patient is not eating enough green vegetables, and not drinking enough milk. Milk: provides the vital bone-building cal- cium and phosphorus, so necessary' tub= healthy teeth and bone structure. three R,e,A,P, Anson training bomber's are shown are given Instruction in navigation, radio oelltatt. lying over the jagged peaks of the Canadian Rockies observation and aerial photography in addition to 11,000 feet„ during a recent instruction flight from piloting.
