Finance Minister Ilsley announced that the Government proposed "'by re- duction of duties and taxes, and by outright subsidy," to reduce the retail cost of "a n'um'ber of imported and domestic foods of widespread eon- sumption." He said the full details of this pro- posal would be announced by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board but gave the following brief details' of price reductions: , 1. Reduction in the price of coffee by four cents a pound. 2. Reduction in the price of tea by 10 cents a pound. 3. Reduction in the price of oranges to "about the levels of September and October, 1941." 4. A reduction in the price of milk, "the general objective" being about two cents a quart to consumer. 5. Reduction of profit margins on beef taken by some retail dealers to "reasonable limits," These prices came into effect on Monday. _ Mr. Ilsley said these moves, to off- set increases in the cost of living due to price rises in spite of the ceiling control, will be aimed to bring the cost of living "at least part of the way back to the level of the basic period." The finance minister spoke over the national network of the, Canadian Boardcasting Corporation, extended to include virtually all independent sta- tions in Canada. Mr. Ilsley said the cost of this policy might reach 00,000,000 a year abut in the light of the great objec- tives for which we are striving, this cost, .which after all is only one cent per person per 'day, is small indeed." He said the consumer will benefit to the full extent of the subsidies and re- mission of taxes. The producer and dealer will not be affected. "The Government has decided on direct action to bring the cost of'living back to the level of the basic period," he said. "It does not propose to attempt to bring all prices back nor even to limit its concern to prices which have risen. It is sufficient if by the reduction of certain prices the total cost of the con• - sumers budget is moved back." He said the subsidies will be paid in such a way as to ensure that the price is decreased by at least a like amount and "the Wartime Prices and Trade Board will take special precaution to see that the whole benefit of the sub- sidies and remissions goes to the con- sumer." , This program, the minister said, was a part of the Government's year-old prices wages and salary control policy designed to safe-guard the nation from inflation.

New machinery is practically a thing of the past for the duration. This, means that existing machines must be put in the best possible con- dition and given the best care. 'With this in mind, the week of November 16th to 21st has been des- ignated as Farm Implement Check-Up Weak. Now-when most 'of our machines are through work for this year-while troubles encountered dur- ing teat season's operations are still' fresh in our mutes-is the time to check each machine thoroughly, order needed parts and see that it is proper- ty stored for the winter, The following pointa are suggested as a guide in carrying out this Cheek- up: 1. Check main frame for loose or iinissing bolts and bent or broken braces, Time was when a broken bolt was just one less, bolt it a world of bolts, nuts and cog wheels, to be had for a sum of cash and a trip to town, Now it may mean rot only a loss of time but the loss of, a crop. A drop of penetrating oil will assist greatly id tightening loose rusted bolts, Fat those that persist in work- ing loose, a look nut or lock washer is a wOrtl-oVhile addition. Many broken parts, such as frame, bratei etc., can arid should be repaired 'by acetylene or electric welding, This procedure may Save many pounds of valuable Metal. Welding tapilities and materials are at a premium how- ever and any work of this kind should be left with a welder immediately. 2, Clean machine thoroughly. Caked mud and grease may cover worn or broken parts. It also helps retain moisture which will rust the part so covered. Fertilizer distributers should be given particular attention and ‘in some cases may have to be disasse&- bled for thorough cleaning. 8. Lubricate thoroughly. Clean out all oil holes and grease fittings and give the machine a thorough lubri- cation. Thus, ail delicate bearing sur- faces are given a protective coating which will stop rust and corrosion, Chains should be removed and dipped in oil, then put back on, but not tightened. 4.- Protect all polished metal parts, such as plow Moldboards, binder knOtter parts and knives, with' a coat- ing of oil or grease. Even xn the best implement sheds,' the air is laden with moisture, which will cause uttprotect• ed parts to rust and deteriorate, 5, Remove all belts and canvasses and store them in a cool, dry, dark, place, Rubber-tired wheels should also be removed and' stored under the seine conditions, if not removed, the machine they carry should be blocked up to take the weight oft the tires, 6.

Girls, to enlist in the most dramatic act ever staged ia the history of Wo- men in Canada, to give service to our empire like men! What a moment to recall after this war is over!" writes an observer, who was present at the recent graduation exercises at the Can- adian WOmen's Army Corps Trainieg Centre, Ste, Aline de Bellevue, P.Q. :The writer 'records her impressions as follows: "As the smartly clad feminine fig- ures marched across the sun-lit col- lege grounds, answering the orders is- sued by their officers with quick pre- vision and rhythmic grace, a voice nearby was heard to remark 'I cannot see the seine of treating women like Teen, putting them into uniform and drilling them like soldiers destined for the battle-front, Why cannot they serve their country as cooks, stenog- =pliers, motor drivers and m other services without aping men, wearing brass buttons, military uniforms and drilling in this way. I think it is just another item of expense for the Can- adian Government.' 'Pondering over these remarks it seems that this is an opportunity to express my views of women in uni- form. First and foremost let us re- member that Canada's Government and war leaders are calling not only the Men to serve their country, but they are calling the women, too, to aid Canada in its hour of danger and, distress, "With regard to the remarks over- heard,' such criticism is easily gain- taid. To begin with Canada's army of women are sent to their training centres and given a few weeks' inten- sive military drill, map reading and other studies, along with physical training and deportment. This period of exercise, under the direction of skilled physical drill instructors is of- fered so that the women recruits may become hardened and built up phys- ically. Therefore, when they tinder- take their War duties they are stronger and better fitted to give good service. "Discipline is one of the benefits in- cluded in the course of training. Many cadets have never realized the true meaning of discipliae in their sheltered way of life. Every psychologist real- izes the truth of this statement and the value of control in mental and moral education. "Now about the uniforms, brass buttons and the military tout-ensemble. There is something about esprit de corps that is difficult to explain. But it is there whenever a group of human beings gather together as a unit, wear- ing the same badge of office and at- tired in the same uniform. The army girls, realize what the uniform stands for and it certainly spurs them on to faithful and steadfast service. "With regard to equipping the envy girls with uniform and all the acces- sories necessary for their outfit, it is well to recall that when the girls grad- uate and enter the active service as stenographers, filing clerks, cooks, ambulance drivers or whatever type of service they undertake, they receive less actual cash than, their sisters in snufti who are employed in similar work. But the army girls are proud to be serving their country shoulder to shoulder with their menfolk. They more than repay the Government for the cost of their military equipment or the cost of their humble salaries, '_Many outstanding naval, military and air force officers attending the demonstration that day at Ste, Anne de Bellevue helped to make the event a memorable one. The only women major-general in the British Army, Major-General Jean Knox-, controller- general, of the Auxiliary Territorial Service of Great Britain, in presenting the 'pipe to the graduates, gave each ',girl a few words of congratulations and a handshake that brought a proud smile to the faces of the new officers. watched the smart 'precision squad and I rerrietribered the women of &masted Europe, who having suf- fered greatly, would welcome the op- VOrtttnity of leaping forward ifo'their governments summoned them to save their tIood.stained land from the enemy'S Clutches. To them it would, be the call Of a saviour, the very voice of Preividetice. Put they cannot do so. rorttvi4ttly,. Canadian women can, and are doing their part. "That graduation day at the C.W. A.C.
