EXPLOSIVES
FROM WOOD
Several million dollars annually are
now being saved in the Manufacture of
certain • types of • military explosives
produced in Canada through the utili-
zation of Canadian wood pulp as a
source of cellulose instead of import-
ing cotton linters,
Wood cellulose has been used in
Canada for a good many years in the
manufacture of "Cellophane" aitd
rayon but it is only since the begin-
ning of the war that reasearch. and
development has been undertaken to
adapt wood pulp to the Manufacture
of nitroeellulose, the base foe certain
types of high explosives required for
military purposes, according to the
C-1-1, OVAL.
The Use of cellulose bearing wood
pulps, quite plentiful in Canada, has.'
not only eliminated theAltuportation
of cotton timers front the United
States, thtis effecting a coeiSclerable
saving in foreign exchange but has
also 'considerably reclined. the. raw
afternoon and the snow seems to set-
tle down with the dusk. Soon zhe
world seems to be in a haze of fading
light and falling snowflakes and the
cars start driving with their lights on,
You hear children yelling cheerfully
and traffic on the road seems to sud-
denly loom up 'out of nowhere. By
the time you get home there's a light
on in the house and the soft *snow-
flakes are melting and some are stick-
ing to your clothes.
There's a steamy breath of air that
hits you in the face as you open the
stable door. The stocks all hungry
•and you have to hustle around and get
the work done up. When you come
out the tracks of the wagon are almost
all covered and you make quite a
ritual out of brushing your feet off at
the door with a broom. After .all this
is the first snow of the year. Winter
has come.
Last night's snow was a little dis-
appointing because it didn't amount"to
very much. When we got up this
morning the ground was frozen hard
and there were little patche&of snow
. but very little. I guess we'll have
to wait yet for a real first snow of the
season.

Maybe it comes while you're sitting
at the table eating . . . or possibly
later on when you decide on a snooze
or a glance at the\paper . . . and it's
usually the ybungsters who notice it.
"It's snowing". That's the signal for
everyone to rush to the windows and
there you see an engtilfing wave of
white flakes all tumbling over each
other as they fall lazily down to the
earth. The youngsters immediately
want to get bundled up and get their
sleighs ready for sleig-riding.
A deep sort of contentment settles
over the house 'after the youngsters
win their point and go out hopefully
to the snow. The kettle seeing' to
bubble a little cheerier and the cat
carefully yawns and stretches and
waits for an opportunity to hop up on
the old sofa and from there to the
kitchen window. Cats just seem to
love to stretch and see the snow com-
ing down.
Sometimes the snow comes while
you're' on the way from the village
with a load of chop. It will be late
and was successful in coming first in
his exams in his division.

PHIL OSIFER OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
We had a little dash of snow last
night. It got frosty cold about ten
o'clock and when I went out to look
over the stock about ten o'clock the
around was getting hard. Patricia
Ann turned-over in her crib about two
in the morning and her doll rolled
out. 'When I pidked it up, something
seemed to attract me to the window
. . . and sure enough there, in,„ the
glaring light of the moon there
was some snow streaking down like
'strokes of chalk on a greyish back-
ground.
• There's something about that first
snow of the year that always seems
to affect people. I like the years when
it comes down in lazy, drifting' flakes.
You go out to the stable in the morn-
ing and the air is not too cold 'but
something seems to hint to you that
the snow is coming. You sense it ....
.and when you're on the, way' back in
to the house a flake or two comes
make their rounds on Thursday.
Some of the roads have .not been open-
ed for cars at time of writing. •
