were given a jolt the other day when
a brisk salesman was around offering
Tag's and bunting for sale, to be used
'for Armistice Day. No, he wasn't a

landmark, the 140,000 gallon water

We think of salvage as a civilian
job, but it might interest you to know
that the Army goes in for it in a big
way, saving millions of dollars an-
nually. A recent National Defence re-
port showed that 826,000 pairs of
boots and shoes were' repaired 2nd re-
stored to service. They operate a
boot repairing plant which can pro-
duce 1,500 pairs each week, using up-
pers stripped from condemned 'boots.
Articles scrapped and resold realized
$410,351, Reconditioned by contract,
we noted, were damaged enamelware
and galvanized utensils, including
more than a thousand boilers and
twenty thousand jugs, bowls, mugs
and plates, Clothing repair and tailor
shops made over three million repairs
to garments of all kinds,

One of the interesting people at the
national meeting in Ottawa of the 14
Regional Consumer Branch chairman
of ,,the Wartime Prices and Trade
Board was Mrs. Cameron Dow, lately
appointed rural advisor to the branch.
She is national president of the Feder-
ation of Women's Institutes. Mrs.
Dow in - plain language said: "If in-
flation is ever allowed to get hold in
this country, we're sunk. I remember
what happened in the last war, and
after, 'Even though we sold some of
our stuff at a high price the things
we had to buy were higher and in the
long run we were worse off than be-
fore, That must not happen again."
Mrs. Dow proves her faith in the
value of checking prices by keeping
accurate account of her purchases in
her "little Blue Book".

National income is supposed to give
a pretty good indication of the nation-
al welfare. • The Dominion Bureau of
Statistics points out that for eleven
months of 1943 it showed an increase
of 18.4 per cent—a total of $8.072,000,-
000--over the similar period a year
before, Production and transport of
munitions and war supplies were the
main generators for this huge amount,
putting it at the highest level in Cana-
dian history. Coincident figures are
interesting, too,

Americans are really big investors
in Canada. A United .States, Treasury
census reveals that American-owned
property in foreign countries reaches
over the nine billion dollar mark, 34
per cent .of this being in Canada.

If you sometimes wonder why
banks have increased staffs, put it
against the large number of cheques
that are issued, for one thing. Cheques
cashed against individual accounts ag-
gregated $53;797,000,000. during 1943,
a new high point in Canadian history,
too, 13.e sure to read that amount
correctly, .because it sure is passing the
bucks and no fooling.

Agricultural Notes: The depart-
ment advises potato growers to order
their 1944 seed potato requirements
without delay, and a list of growers
haying Certified, Foundation A or
Foundation geed can he got from
Plant Protection Division, Dept. of
Agriculture, Ottawa. As for potato
acreage a five per cent increase is
wanted for this, year. Ontario, Mani-
toba and 13,C. have each agreed to
10 per cent more acreage; Quebec and
Alberta will aim for 5 per cent, the
Maritimes with 1943 plantings greater
than, long-time average will maintain
level of production, as will Saskatche-
wan. . . . An increase of nearly one-
third over the 1943 output in maple
syrup and products is 'being asked,
representing about three million
gallons on a syrup basis. . . . Market-
ings of lambs and sheep off Canadian
farms and ranches in 1943 is also ex-
pected to be up 5 per , cent over 1943.
. . Corn, however, looks for a jump
of 53 per cent over 1943 acreage —
near1c400,000 acres — which was the
estimate quoted at the joint agricul-
tural conference in Ottawa. . „ There
will be plenty of vegetable seeds like
peas, beans, carrots, onions, radishes,
lettuce, tomatoes, swedes, etc., avail-
able for 1944 spring planting because

spring of 1943. We are informed that
about 65 per cent of the Canadian
production of vegetables and field
root seeds were grown in British Col-
umbia last season.

80,000 personnel, including about 4,-
500 Wrens; with 250 lighting ships
and 400 auxiliary craft. Once we
laughed at the 'Rainbow' and `Niobe'.
. . . Only soldiers discharged after
November 1, 1943, are entitled to the
new scale clothing allowance, upped
to $65. . . A new medical research
group has geen formed for examin
ation of methods of treatment of
wounded 'Canadians, to improve heal-
ing techniques; they follow the wound-
ed from front-line to base hospital,
checking all the way. . . . Our war
expenditures for the first nine months
of the fiscal year to December 31,
1943, totalled $2,782,749,515. That's
why we need to Buy Bonds.

The dental health of Canadians
ranks among the best in the world
but it will be given a fillip after this
war by the way our Dental Corps is
looking after the men and women of
the Armed Services.. Over 1200 Can-
adian dentists are now serving with
the Navy, Army and Air Force. Every
sailor, soldier and airman is made
dentally fit before going overseas or
on active operations. And then a
dental officer with his portable equip-
ment and mobile dental clinic goes
with them wherever they go. Since
the outbreak of the war over ten and
a half million dental operations have
been completed.

The ladies of the west end of the
2nd of Culross held their bi-weekly
Red Cross quilting at the home of
Mrs. ,Milas Moir last Wednesday.
There were nine ladies present. The
top was pieced out of discarded wool-
len and other heavy materials, pieced
and donated by Mrs. Jim. Caslick.
Mrs. Moir donated the lining made of
dyed cotton bags. The quilt was tied
with odd bits of coloured ravelled
yarn. It made a very warm though
very inexpensive quilt.
Mrs", Tom Nichel received word
last week of the With of her new
grandniece on January 24th, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Huth of Lake-
let.

ation.

Farm Forum met at Ross McRae's,
home on Monday evening with an at,
tendance of 22. Three groups discus-
sed the subject "the importance of
planning the rural community", in the,
new series "the rural co,mcunity". In
spite of modern machinery farmers do
not have any snore time now than they
had 50 years ago for community work
owing to the scarcity of help on
farms. There is need for more co-5
operation. among the farmers,
next meeting, Monday evening, will rbe!
at the home of W, N. Pickell.
