The Consumer Branch of the W.P.
T.B. in Ottawa under the direction of
Byrne Hope Saunders, better known
as Chatelaine's editor, are asking
Canadian women to familiarize them-
selves with the working of retail meat
charts. Initiated into the ways of
charts through the beef order of the
W..P.T.I3., the job of shopping for
meat is now further simplified by the
addition. of a lamb chart, which will
show the ceiling price of any cut of
lamb. Any woman who doesn't know
her cuts, can learn to distinguish be-
tween loin rib roast, leg or breast of
lamb by studying the cutting chart,
accompanying all price charts. Featur-
ing slightly lower prices than those
which have prevailed, the lamb seems
a break for the nation's biggest cater-
ers, the housewives.

The Swedish liner Gripsholm which
is expected to -arrive in New York
early in December, will bring a good-
sized Canadian party, repatriated - in
an exchange with Japanese. The ma-
jority of the Canadians arc mission-
aries, members of religious orders,
business men and their wives and
children. More than ,half come from
occupied China and Hong Kong; some
from Japan, Manchoukuo and Korea,
and some from the. Phillipines and
French Indo-China. The voyage
orient-ward carried medical supplies
and vitamins from Canada sufficient
to serve 5,000 people six month.
With other relief stores, these will be
made available to Canadians and other
Allied prisoners and internees still in
Jap hands.

A few highlights of the Joint Agri-
cultural Committee meeting recently
completed in Washington: Conclusion
was reached that an expansion in out-
put of certain products is possible, but
increase in over-all production is lim-
ited by acreage, manpower, equipment,
fertilizer. • Particular attention was
paid to suggested increase in U.S.
wheat acreage from 54 million acres
in 1943 to 68 million next year, made
imperative by abnormal disappearence
of wheat currently for feed and indus
trial alcohol. Maintenance of dairy
production by using grain and protein
feeds was stressed, with preservation
of total food value in milk best ac-
compljshed by converting as much as
possible into cheese, dried milk, etc.
Canadian members pointed out needed
expansion. in this country included
special crops as oil crops. Peas and
beans were considered well suited for
relief-feeding in liberated areas.

Odds and Ends: Good fur catches
for the Eskimos have made them fork
over income tax; Mounted Police fill
out forms, make necessary assess-
ments Maybe it's the greater
purchasing power, but Canadians are
biting into plenty of meat, with mod-
erate increase in 1942 over 1941. The
estimated per capita consumption of
all meats (including offals) in` 1942
was 135.2 pounds, an up of two pounds
over the previous year.... Ban against
Jehovah's Witnesses, Technocracy,
Inc., and Ukrainian. Labor-Farmer
lifted.... Canada's rehabilitation plan
for men and women of the Armed
Services, including financial aid and
vocational training for all veterans, is
ahead of all other parts of the British
Commonwealth and Empire, being
used as a model for similar planning
in the TJ,S,A.,"says Major H. M.
Veterans Welfare Officer, Pensions
and Health, Ottawa. , „ The Cana-
dian Red Cross Society has under-
taken to provide 100,000 parcels of
food for French prisoners of war in

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
•
Why is it that so many men put off
having their hair cut until their wives
protest and later start talking' about
leaving unless the curly locks are
shorn off? A barber shop is after all
a pleasant sort of place to spend time
in and the act of cutting hair has
progressed from the days when it was
practically torn off by means of poor-
ly working clippers,
I usually never think about having
my hair cut until Mrs. Phil remarks
as I'm leaving for the village, "It
would be a good idea Phil if you were
to have your hair cut when you're in
town today.", Sure enough the hair
is bunching on my neck and starting
to droop a little over the collar of the
smock. By the time I get the grocer-
ies and the grist at the mill and have
a chat with a' few. of the boys at the
hotel time is wearing on and I haven't
the time to sit down and wait for a
chair in Ed. Hathaway's shop. He's
alone now that both Tony and Jim
are in the air force.
All week long Mrs. Phil keeps
mentioning the hair. She even offers
to clip my neck the night we have to
go over to the neighbors for a game
of cards. I begin to feel like a lamb
waiting to be shorn because the hair
is growing pretty rapidly. In spite
of all that I can still find reasons for
not going to the barber shop. A man
can waste three hours talking to a

fellow in the stable about politics or
the price of feed but he figures that
there's nothing to compare to staying
in a barber shop as far as waste time
is concerned,
Finally I go to the barber shop, The
hair is pretty long and Mrs. Phil is
getting tired of seeing it drooped over
my collar, There's usually a few fele
slows around the shop, Old man Cas-
sel drops in to read the paper and
some of the youngsters from school
are reading the funnies in the Sunday
paper, Jack Henderson the drover
will be in there getting a shave and
telling everybody that cattle prices are
due for an awful tumble, Tim Murphy
will stip over from his store for a
game of cribbage with anyone who
happens to want to play., Barber Ed.
Hathaway will be telling about the
War on the Russian front just as if
he had come tight back from' there.
The chairs in the shop are comfort-
able, and there's lots of talk going
around. It's not such a bad place to
spend a little time at. When my turn
comes I can't deny that the feel of
the clippers and the razor makes me
feel a whole lot better, In fact when
I walk out of there after paying Ed.
his thirty-five cents I feel like a new
man. I make tip my mind that next
time I'll get my hair cut on time and
not fool around until it starts droop-
ing. over my collar.
But a couple of weeks go by in a
hurry and tire first thing you know
the hair is long again and I'm back
malting excuses about'not having time
to waste in a barber shop,
CEILING INSULATION
CAN BE DONE
BY HOUSEHOLDER
For those Canadians who are anx-
ious to insulate their own homes,' but
who haven't been able to get a firm to
do it, here is good news. They can
insulate the ceiling themselves.
Home owners who are at all handy
at odd jobs can install insulating
material on the floors, walls and ceil-
ing of an unfinished attic. This
amount of insulation will cut fuel bills
noticeably, and help to save one ton
in five.
Research experts and building au-
thorities estimate that up to 20 per
cent of the heat lost during the winter
filters through the roof. They point
out that insulating material pays for
itself and nets a considerable saving
over a period of 20 years.
There are a number of non-inflam-
mable insulating materials on the
market today. Rock wool, sheet and
batt types are easy to apply and ef-
fective. Pack whichever material is
chosen firmly and evenly between the
rafters, leaving no open spaces. Take
particular care to fill in at the end of
the beams over the eaves. Be careful
riot to step between the rafters or the
ceiling space may be damaged.
Local dealers or contractors can
give valuable advice to those who de-
cide to insulate the ceiling themselves.
For first-hand information discuss the
problem with neighbouring home own-
ers who have had experience with in-
sulation.
COD-LIVER OIL
Cod-liver oil should be kept in a
cool, dark place, if its potency is to be
preserved The Vitamin D. in cod-liv-
er oil is not readily destroyed, but the
t
Vitamin A it contains deteriorates
when warmed or exposed to light.
Ths is the reason most cod-liver oils
come in dark coloured bottles or with
opaque wrappings.
Alfalfa - Soil - Climate
(Experimental Farms News)
Where the climate conditions are
favourable alfalfa thrives on soils
varying in texture from coarse sand
and gravel to heavy compact clays,
although the best soil is a deep porous
loam. It will not do well on poorly
drained land or on soils that are not-
ably acid, states John M. Armstrong,
Division of Forage Plants, Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa. These
limitations can he overcome to a cer-
tain extent by choosing the better
drained fields on the farm and by re-
ducing soil acidity with applications
of lime. Although in common with
other legumes alfalfa can obtain its
nitrogen supply from the air by the
action of nitrogen-fixing bacteria in
the root nodules, it does require an
ample supply of mineral nutrients
such as lime phosphorus, potassium
and sulphur in order to produce high
yields.
With the winter-hardy varieties
now available alfalfa may be grown
in practically every mixed-farming
area in Canada, The long branching
tap root of the plant affords it con-
siderable resistance to drought. It is
true that in extremely dry areas•while
it may survive its productivity is re-
duced. Nevertheless, it has been dem-
onstrated that in these areas where the
run off water can be conserved by-
dams and used for irrigation, the
growing of alfalfa provides the best
possible insurance against a feed
shortage.
A frequent difficulty in growing alf-
alfa in the Maritime Provinces and to
some extent in Ontario and Quebec.
is the injpry to stands through the
formation of ice sheets on the fields
in winter. This form of injury is ap-
parently due to smothering and is
distinct from injury caused by low
temperatures and inadequate snow
cover. Varieties differ in their resis-
tance to the latter type of injury but
all appear to be equally susceptible to
injury from ice sheets.
