High time to plan your Christmas gift boxes for those in uniform . . on the lagd , on the sea . . in the air. You may also be thinking of the families of the men in the armed forces, and, too, of the folks in the homes of in- domitable Britain who so cheerily "make do." During the next three weeks such great numbers of parcels will be going through the mails that it is important to pack your boxes so as to speed up deliveries and make sure your parcels li traygl well, Here are some sug- gestions: ' s, tr. '0" * 1. First of all, choose a stout box- preferably of the carton type which combines lightness with strength. 2. Packing it inner lining is neces- sary for a light weight bog, such as corrugated cardboard. Cotton- batting or socks pushed along the sides and into the chinks can be used. Little packages of raisins or something that will not melt may be used as fillers. Z. Contents. Foods should be wrap-, ped separately and labelled so that the recipient may undo things as they are wanted. We suggest baking the fruit loaf in cocoa tins. When cooled put the lid on and you have fruit loaf and container ready. Cookies carry well in bak- ing powder tins with wax paper. There are also many acceptable packaged goods such as powder- ed milk and eggs, cocoa, soups, etc. 4. Fit everything into the box as closely together as possible. Close the box; tie firmly with twine and put on one set of address and declaration labels, just as though the box were not going to be wrapped. 6. Then cover the box with factory cotton (say, a washed flour bag), fold the ends like the back of an envelope, and stitch, using thin, strong twine in darning needle. Tie the box firmly again and put on a second set of labels. It is much better to put on an alterna- tive address than a return address -a civilian relative or friend in the old country may be named on the overseas label. 6. Check on the rates with your Postmaster (overseas boxes up to 11 lbs. cost 12c per lb.) It is ,ad- visable not to pack the maximum weight. Remember, civilian rates are different and certain gifts may Glass cooking utensils may be used as freely as metal ones. Do not, however. oubject them to extremes of heat and cold. For instance, do not take your glass saucepan out of the refrigerator and immediately put it on the fire. .Mainma-Mimetammmimm, iiiiii m iiiii Mum iiiiii m Garden- Graph 1 There are two main planting sea- sons-spring, as growth starts, and fall, when the wood is matured and ripened. Very large trees are moved with a frozen ball of earth •around their roots. It is always best to transplant on a cloudy, cool day, or, at least, to wait until the cool of the evening. Wfien transplanting, never expose the root's to wind or sun. Wind on the roots is even more disastrous than sun. Plants feed through minute root hairs; if they becore shrivelled by the drying effects of the sun or wind„ new hair roots must develop before the tree can feed itself. When the tree comes from the nursery, if it can be planted at once, soak the roots in water while the hole is being prepared. 7 K. M. MacLENNAN Veterinary Surgeon Office-Victoria St., West.

If you do you'd pro- bably be surprised at the number of people who don't, And perhaps you- re not even doing it yourself, now that shortages of one sort and another are making buying so difficult. For that very reason, however ,it is more than ever important for the homemaker to budget for victory. There are a number 'of different ways of keeping your food budget balanced, but right now a good rule of thumb way of gettiii the right foods in the right proportion is this- Divide foods into four classes: 1. Dairy Products-Milk, cheese and butter, 2; Fruits and Vegetables-includ- ing potatoes, vegetaililes, (fresh and dried) tomatoes, fruits (fresh and dried). 3. Meat, fish and eggs. 4. Cereals and other foods. This class includes bread,' oatmeal, flour and the incidentals, sugar, coffee, tea, etc. Then spend one gitarter or 25% of the money you have decided to spend on food on the articles in each class. If you rare going to spend $12.00 a week on food, see that three of those dollars go for milk, cheese and butter and 'another three for fruit and veg- etables. The minute you spend too Much for one class and too little for another you are feeding your family' an unbalanced diet, And remember in class 4-Cereals- and other foods-most of the money (unless you have lots to spend) should_ buy whole-wheat bread and whole, grain cereals, Rationing will help yott. out there. Tea, coffee and even sugar, to some extent, are not nutritional as- sets. A post card request to the Healtl• League of Cahada, 111 Avenue Road,.

HITLER STOLE THE SWAS- TIKA - The Swastika doesn't belong to Hit- ler or even exclusiyely to the 'Aryans,' It is one of the oldest decorative mot- ifs belonging to mankind and has been used in many lands, through countless years. Until recently it was consider- ed an emblem of good luck just as potgent as a four-leafed clover. A Swastika hunt through the gal- leries of,.the Royal Ontario Museum will prove this. In the Greek galler- ies you will find this hooked cross on vases that were ,made about 800 years before Christ 'and also on .a large brooch of the same period. The motif was carried on in the art of Mediter- ranean lands and can he seen on a beautiful embroidered curtainghat was fade on one of the Greek Islands in the, 18th century. If the chase is .pur- ,sued through the other galleries more examples will be found on oriental rugs, Indian pottery made in the south-western 'United States, and worked into' the textile and porcelain designs in China. The Museum's largest Buddha fig- ure has a raised Swastika on its chest. This symbol was also used in the an- cient art of Mesopotamia and in view of Hitler's persecution of the Jews, it is interesting to find that in early Hints On Fashions IN MUNN- Household .
