He pointed out that lie hoped that Catalina Flying Boats and Mosquito bombers from the Dominion would soon be in operation On the major war fronts. In the few weeks that have folloWed his speech, his hopes have been realized. Canadians, young and old, realize that these Canadian-built planes must carry tons of explosives to sow over Europe. Those explosives can only be manufactured if the campaign for salvage fats and bones is continued, for these materials are a vital com- ponent of high explosives. In the past, Canada received most of her oils 'from far eastern sources, Cocoanut oil arid copra from the Philippines; palm oil from the Dutch East Indies and Malaya; tong oil from China; penile oil from Manchuria and Japan; all these sources of supply have been outt off by Japanese aggression. This loss of the normal sources of supply vitally affects the war effort and economy of the United Nations. It is the day-by-day job of every- one to see that fat is saved. Every last ounce counts. If everyone in the Dominion saves as little as two ounces of fats .a week, minimum requirements will be met, • Canadian kitchens must become an arsenal for explosives. THE LEECHES ARE .BLOOD-13ANKS - f Do you remember the leeches or blood-stickers in the old ,swimming- hole \and how they would stick to your legs or toes until they were distended with blood?

One of the few sources of men available for other high priority jobs is those men on the' farm who will not be needed at home during the Fall and Winter. Heavy needs must be met- in many lines— producing fuel wood and other neces- sary forest products; in base metal mines, in food processtng, in railway track maintenance. If you live • on a farm and are not needed at home during the Fall and Winter, you are urged to answer this national appeal.

Over five per cent of tee earth's crust consists of iron, but it is only W. here the iron has been concentrated into ore deposits (301/4 +) that it can be commercially extracted. Very rare- ly iron occurs in the metallic state, that is, unmixed with other elements. All types of iron ores may be seen in the Royal Ontario Museum, even the rare metallic iron. For a great mining .enuntry Cana- da has produced very little iron, The wnrkable ore actually in sight today would meet the demands of industry for only a short time, For example, the United. States could utilize it all in a year or two at its present rate of production. We have some high grade ore, however, under Stec'prock Lake and in Miehipicoten. This will have a strategic importance beyond its rel- ative quantity because high grade hematite is getting scarce, 11Ee t S blee di ng er er s a rudin ?loci ‘1111 should knew Bunkers Herbal.

NATIONAL SELECTIVE SERVICE DIEMMUEntle IADOTO HUMPHREY MITCHELL, A. MACNAMARA, Minister of Labour Director, National Selective Service MO-Al IRON Iron has long been the world's most important metal, The "native" pro- Weed it for weapons in a charcoal •urnace, employing a bellows operated by hand or foot. Today giant blast enlaces yield innumerable tons, in arious forms, for countless uses. This metal is used as wrought iron, a pure malleable type; east iron; and steel, which is iron containing carbon, Other metals, such a nickel, mangan- ese, Chromium, ttiegsten, are Mixed with steel to toughen or harden it. To-day most of our steels are alloys made with various amounts Of these the mating period, but only a few species habitually live on blood. The largest of our leeches, Haemopis, which reaches a length of 5 or 6 inches when extended, fortunately lives on snails and worms to a large extent. It is commonly seen in our northern lakes, swimming like a grace- ful, undulating ribbon. A small cylin- drical type attacks fish, while a large flat ornamented leech is found attach- ! ed to the legs of the snapping ',turtle. To return to the leech's relations with man. At one time they were us- ed a great deal for letting blood. They still have some slight use medicinally.- They occasionally fasten themselves to bathers. Their bite may not be noticed, The saliva of the leech pre- vents the victim's blood from coagu- lating, Inside the leech a very inter- esting type of 'blood-processing goes on. First the fluid part of ,the blood is mixed with a preservative and stor- ed in the spacious internal cavities, This solid blood is sometimes kept for a year before it is converted into food by the leech, Unconsciously the des- pised blood-sucker long ago solved the problem which has stumped man until recently. The leech is a blood- bank in its own way.
