FARM TOOL SHEDS VALUABLE
SOURCE OF METAL SCRAP
Unsuspecled sources of scrap metal
are found. in farnhool sheds, lofts and
garages where long forgotten bits and
meces have been stored on the chance
that some day they might come in
handy.
By September 15, no one may have
more than 500 lbs. of scrap metal in
his possession according to recent rul-
ing of the Steel Controller. There's
priceless war material in olt binder
and mower knives and. guards; hay
rake and harrow teeth:„ metals from
harness; bolts, nuts, rivetts, staples,
spikes and nasty nails, and the hun-
dred and one odds and .ends that have
been thrown aside in nooks and cran-
nies,
When gathering these up, look too
for scrap rubber, rags, bags and hot-.
tles. They're all urgently needed now.
COPPER LATEST ON
LIST FOR SALVAGE
Canadians must pitch in and dig out
all the copper they can find, Metals
Controller G. C, Bateman has warned
that there is a severe shortage of cop-
per, The increased consumption of
brass, and alloy metal of copper, is
one example of the war-time demand
which has brought about this shortage,
Lighting fixtures which have no
further use, wash boilers, copper —tea
kettles, water faucets, name and ad-
dress plates, curtain rods and poles,
brass bedsteads, jardinieres, door
knobs, fire screens, copper wiring,
discarded eavestroughs—all copper,
bronze and brass articles which are
no longer useful are needed urgently,
Copper-coloured and bronze articles
are particularily wanted.
Any usable articles should not be
turned in -because they would only
have to be replaced by new articles,
many of which have been -already tak-
en off the market.
A slight indication of the way the
production line chews up this metal is
shown when it is known that one type
of bomber requites more than two
miles of copper wire alone to keep it
flying. Another type of bomber needs
500 pounds of copper which would
make thousands of toy electric trains
for Ch'ristmas.

A lady resident of Glasgow' on her
deathbed asked ]ter husband to bury
her in Aberdeen rather than in Glas-
gow. Being the owner of a plot in
the cemetery in 'Glasgow he asked her
why she wanted to be buried in Aber-
deen. She replied that she could not
rest peacefully if she were buried in
Glasgow. "Very well," her husband
responded, "if you cannot rest in Glasa
gow we'll bury you in Aberdeen, but
we'll try you first in Glasgow."
PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
Patricia Ann is now in another stage
of her development A. friend, with
long experience in the matter of rais-
ing a family told Mrs Phil and I short-
ly after our wee lass was horn that we
would be able to watch her go through
various stages: Her experience was
right Patricia has passed through
several highly interesting stages . , .the:
latest being that of dressing and un-
dressing dolls.
Having a number of aunts who at
various times have been beguiled by
the warmth of her smile into buying
dolls for her, she used to take great
delight in strewing them all over the
place In the course of being dragged
around both indoors and outdoors,
their clothes became rather dirty.
Mrs Phil with a natural horror for dirt
suggested on many occasions that the
clothes should be removed and .wash-
ed. Patricia Ann liked her dolls the
way they were, She refused to let the
clothes be taken off the dolls,
She has changed however In the
past two weeks we have had nothing
but a campaign of doll dressing. Our
living room remains cluttered with

naked dolls no matter how often Mrs.
Phil makes the rounds and gathers
them. up. Little clothes are strewn
clown the hallway. Little cherubs of
dolls and big "mammy" dolls all get
the same treatment They are stripped
of their clothes and then dumped on
the nearest chair.
Patricia meanwhile has discovered
what fun there is in washing the
clothes.. She will gather up an armful
of the clothes and slip by her mother
into the woodshed. Any pail or jar
with water in it serves the purpose and.
soon she comes tip-toeing back in . .
to deposit the dripping clothes on the
living-room furniture, As a matter of
fact I was rather alarmed time other
evening to find several little dresses

Last night I was reading the news-
paper in the living room. Mrs Phil
told me to be careful to watch what-
-ever Patricia was doing. 1 glanced
up from time to time and she seemed
to be quite absorbed in her task of
trying to put a midget dolls' dress on
the biggest doll which she owns. Soon
I forgot about her in the fascination
of reading a particularily good account
of the Dieppe raid.
Horror of horrors when f looked up
she had a basin_ of -water on the sofa
in the living room and was giving one
of the dolls a bath. Its hair was
stringy- and shreddad and the
majority of the rosy complexion of the
cheeks had been washed off. There
was a regular pool of water around
