Intensive research has been carried on in the Montreal Neurological Institute under Dr. Wilder Penfield, and by the Royal Canadian Navy Medical research unit under Surgeon- Captain C. H. Best, R.C.N.V.R., which did ^ experimental work at the Banting Institute, Toronto, and field trials at sea, The new dis- covery has vitally important applications in the transport of in- vasion and airborne troops as well as naval personnel. Left above, as part of the experiment, a Canadian ,sailor swings on a platform. The contaiper comes in handy when he begins to show symptoms of sea- sickness in about half an hdur's rocking. Right above is Surgeon- Lieut.-Commander E. A. Sellers, R.C.N.V.R., of Winnipeg, Man., who was in immediate charge of re- search at the- Banting Institute.

About 500,000 tons of fertilizer of the different kinds are ocpeeted to be available in .Canada for the spring of 2944, This is. .almost double quantity used a few years ago, so it is a question of avoiding pt'ak labour loads in the fertilizer plants, ing overloading of transportation facil- 'hies and relieving the storage shit- No one can accurately estimate the extent of the demand for fertilizer that may develop this coining season, states, G, S, Peart, Fertilizers Arrninistrator, but thas•e best informed agree that it will be the rheaviest in the history of Canada and the supply may not be sufficient. For this reason the farmer who orders early and accepts delivery early will be more sure of getting what he wants and will have it on hand when the time comes to use it. He will also make a distinct contribution to food production in making it pos- sible for the fertilizer plants to get the fertilizer out to best advantage of all concerned: DRILLER LOST HARD EARNED SAVINGS Had Money Hid in His Room Instead of in the Bank Ernest H. El sdon, driller in a Van- couver shipyard, Caine off the night shift recently to find his room burg- larized and all his savings, $2,750, stolen. "If 'I'd had the sense to, put that cash in a bank, I wouldn't have lost the $2,750 to a burglar", lie said.. "I'd been sawing that money to buy a house and all I've got left after months of work is a battered strong • Mr, Elsdon box. I made the mistake, you see, of keeping that money by me instead of putting it in the bank every pay day. Now I've got to start at the beginning again, but I'm going to stay at my job as a driller unil I've got the money to buy that house. No more foolish risks for me. From now on I'm let- ting the bank keep my cash safe. • It's tough luck, when you're getting on in years, to lose the very thing you've been counting on, but what I want to do is to let other people profit by my loss. Don't take any chances-let the bank take care of your money and. then you'll have t safe and sure for the things you want to buy when the war's over."

I guess its's a natural failing of the turkey family to want to roost where they're not supposed to be. A fall morning has always reminded me somehow of the chilled steel look of-new tools. It's cold and hard. The coldness and hardness wears off how- ever as th; sun comes up full and strong and then you sec what Jack Frost has been doing during the night. Bright red and yellow-golden splotches show up against the green of the hardier trees as the world be- gins to thaw out.

Bureau- laughs-the woman who wrote to the Regional Offices of Prices Board ask- ing what articles were going to be rationed next 'so I can lay in a sup- ply! . .. and the employee who phon- ed Selective Service asking if he could be "frozen" so the boss 'couldn't fire him, , . According to the W.P.T.B.; Santa's reindeers will float light as a feather this Christmas because wood and plastic toys will be available in fair supply. • .. Metal and rubber tops will be non compos mends-or is that the word? „ . the accent will be, ow- ing to shortage of labour by toymak- ers, on pieces of this and that, so ingenious Johnny can do the assemb- ling. * >t* Under direction of the Consumers Branch, W.P,T.B., I am told, ward- robes of children's made over clothing are being sent to a total of 108 centres in Canada. They offer a variety of new ideas, even to makeover experts like Canadian mothers, particularly in re-claiming apparently useless mater- ial and turning it into something wearable. Emphasis is placed on combinations of pretty colours, tailor- ed smartness and on unusual ways of turning the total losses in the ward- robe into active garments. Included in the kits are several styles of chil- dren's underwear cut clown from dad- dy's union suits. It's the first time in our country's dressmaking history that patterns have been available for children's underwear, * * * More than 14,000 Canadians in the Armed Forces serving in England have married English girls, believe it or not, according to a recent an- nouncement. A lot of new moms will have to learn to bake apple pies. Again Agriculture Minister J. G. Gardiner makes a special appeal that all farmers, especially thole in. the three prairie provinces (including other livestock shippers), 'co-operate in withholding from market, sows, un- finished cattle and cows, and by spreading deliveries of bacon hogs and other classes- of livestock as evenly as possible. Reason: peak in deliveries in next two months, congestion in stock yards and packing plants. Sows, 10% of all. Western' flog marketings, take more time to slaughter and pro, cess than regular hogs, * The machinery rationing officials meeting in Regina, Sask., recently were concerned about many farmers selling still usable tractors in the. hopes of .getting new ones. While quotas have been increased there is just enough to meet needs of essent- iality. The nearest rationing officer should be written to for a permit be- fore any sale or deal or new purchase is made. The sale of second-hand machines at enhanced prices to secure permits for new equipment is consid- ered "an unfair practice", the Board holds. * * , Crops of main staples in Canada are quite lower than 1942. Total• wheat production estimated et 296,- 259,000 bushels, 50% lower than the 1942 yield, though larger than any crop harvested from 1933 to 1937, and produced on smallest acreage seeded to wheat since 1918. Feed grain lower, poorest in respect to -oats in Ontario -and Quebec, Hay and clover estimated 1,144,000 tons greater than 1942, though in some districts affected by moisture. Potato crop estimated at 43,041,000 cwt., ravages in some dis- tricts offset by increased yield in New Brunswick. Sharp reduction in sugar beets. * * * Odds and Ends'of interest: R,C.A,F. aircrew serving in' other war zones will now be granted special leave to Canada for completing tours of oper- ations the same as if in the United Kingdom. . . .• The first "Canadian, Bible" is now rolling off presses in Toronto; . since 1604 printing rights have been strictly controlled, only four other firms in the British Em- pire having the authority to print Bibles. . . . The National Film Board has a hundred 'travelling theatres' which go from village to village land factory to factory at regular intervals. The rural audience for them is now 350,000 a month, in the factories a quarter of a million. Since 1940 Canada has launched more than 200 steel cargo ships, aside from warships and other war craft, In a single con- voy these 200 ships could carry the following mixed cargo; enough food to feed the entire population of Brit- ain for one week, enough lumber to build 18,000 four-room cottages, 400 bombers, and enough aluminum to to build more than 12,500 fighter planes, steel for 7 battleships, enough bombs to drop 10 pounds on every German subject and motorized equip- ment to supply 200 infantry battalions. Farmers are urged to make imme- diate arrangements for fertilizers they will need next spring and to accept delivery during the winter months. Owing to the present problems of transportation, labour and storage, it is necessary to keep the fertilizers moving from the plants if the manu- ing, a truck going over a wooden bridge, roosters crowing, a tractor coughing life into cold cylinders. Going into the observation car I found a few people sitting around. A fat man in a blue suit with a cigar was complaining about the fact that sitipmer was almost ovhr. A thin, lean-looking woman with a cigarette was puffing and shaking with cold. She thought the train company could at least keep the cars warm. Some- body else said . . . "I hate riding on this milk train. It stops at all the crossings for milk and eggs." Most people laughed at his Wit. Conver sation died down then and they pick- ed up magazines and started looking at pictures while the greatest picture on earth passed by the wind ows, unnoticed. I shouldn't say it was unnoticed.
