The fact that Canadians are behind the war ef.4 fort is exemplificd'in the figures whieli show that there were 178,363 sub- scriptions in the first war loan, By the time the sixth loan rolled along, it had jumped 17 times to 3,077,123 subscriptions. Jiist remember that Canada's war ekpeXiditures since 1939, including budget foreCasts for this fiscal year, will totaltmere than $15,- 000,000,000, a staggering: amount, but cheap for liberty in the final analysis.

V., McKenney, 1st vice-pres., presided and opened the meeting with the singing of the Ode followed by repeating the Lord's Prayer in unison. During the business period an appeal was read from Navy League and the sum of $10.00 voted for this worthy cause, The secretary, Mrs. W. A. Sawtell read a letter received from Mrs. L. A. Voy in whiali she expres- sed warm appreciation of the bale re- ceived from tire local W. I. The fin- ancial report of recent sale and concert was gratifying. Mrs. Durst reported for the bale which was valued at $60.00. A sing song was enjoyed. The highlight of the meeting was a demon- stration and address by Mrs. Frank Sanderson, on "First Aid Cupboard". Each member 'was asked what article she considered essential in her own first aid kit. The speaker stressed the need for labelling all poisons and of the W.M.S, United Church, was held on Sunday morning last with the pastor, Rev, J. L. Foster in charge, The flower committee h•td made the church very attractive with foliage, Jerusalem Cherries and banquets of bright flowers from house plants, From the opening hymn "Unto the Hills" to the close, the service was one of inspiration and beauty, The choir sang "Onward Christian Sol, diers" in anthem form, The quintette comprised of G, A, Wearring, W.

Mr, Foster introduced the guest` speaker, Mrs. R. McKerrol, of Moles- worth, who spoke from the text, "Thanks be to God for His Unspeak- able Gift." In her opening remarks attention was called to the need of Thankfulness, especially in Canada. How thankful we should be for so many seemingly small blessings. If we are to make our lives count, we must rededicate ourselves in the serv- ice of Christ whose love was so great He was willing to make the supreme sacrifice,. The speaker asked that men would share a greater responsibility in the. Missionary work. She spoke of the great need of Missionaries in India and China and deplored the fact that even in our own land there are chil- dren who have never heard of God, Mrs. McKerrol spoke of the responsi- bility of each one for which some day they must give an account, Mr. Fos- ter expressed appreciation of all to the speaker for her fine address.

That's a phrase you read often in this column. Yet few of us realize the importance of this department which was established in 1918. The average Canadian citizen answers the questiOns put to him every ten years by the census taker, but those answers and those of eleven million others are prob- ably forgotten by the 1,100 persons employed in the Bureau of Statistics who compile a mass of pertinent facts on a multitude of subjects and make them available on demand. For instance, if a Canadian wrote to the Bureau and asked how many cheques had passed through the Cana- dian banks in July of this year, quick as a flash the Btireau would reply that "4,733,461,538 cheques were cashed in Canada in July, 1944". And that's'the truth. , The vast amount of data existing in the Dominion Bureau of Statistic has been used by every department and agency of the government engaged in directing the war effort, and there has been an increasing demand for infor- mation from non-war departments and from the general public. Besides the statistical data, the Bureau assists war departmenti by lending services of trained statisticians. It gets a variety of work. One of its early war jobs was compilation of National Registration facts and figures taken in 1940. It also deals with many problems includ- ing cost-of-living, wholesale and retail trade and financial statistics, etc. This department which is so much , taken for granted, does a big job. * * * * • Another effort is being made to make contact with Japanese-held pris- oner:Of-war and. internees.

Need we say more? ,Don't Let Yourself Be Shocked When household appliances go on the hummer "these days it's a sorry state . this column takes a narrow view of making the breakfast toast over the fire in the furnace . • . and after the toaster blew we found our- selves taking extra special care 9f the rest of the •electrical appliances. This always leads the strong silent mem- bers of the household to mutter dryly that we might have done this in the beginning and spared ourselves crisped fingers and temper. We ignore that sideswipe and sweetly offer the toaster for repair along with a plate of straight-to-his-heart cookies. And we offer you the following experience- taught suggestions: Don't reach for the toast with a fork or you may short circuit the toaster element and let yourself in for a shock in more ways than one. When detaching a cord from either its outlet or the appliance take hold of the plug, not the cord. Notice how quickly the end piece of •the iron, coffee makers and toaster need re- placing and see if • you can't treat it more gently, Too many appliances should not be attached to a plug or outlet at one time. The load may be more than the fuse can stand . . . you'll 'soon- find butl Keep cords dry and clean at all times and avoid bend- ing them sharply. " . . . some rain must fall" The sight of an umbrella counter during a rain storm always makes us wish' for a collapsible parasol the size of a lipstick that could, like taxes, be always with us against alluvial sur- prises. All of which leads up to the oh so sensible-advice to choose an um- brella, if you have to have a new one, when you can inspect it free from the jabs and pokes of the frenzied mob, Be sure of the quality of both covering and frame before you buy. Shake it out before opening so that the fasten- ing won't catch and pull the ribs. After using dry it open, in the bath- tub or back porch where the dripping water won't cause any damage, PARACHUTES PRODUCED IN THE DOMINION Parachutes of many kinds are pro- duced right here in Canada, and are one of the multitude of reasons why Mrs. Canada is' at present short of nylon stockings and sometimes rayon. stockings. One type of parachute is for para- troopers, those sky commandos whose job it is to disrupt the enemy's supply lines and sabotage his munitions dumps, A paratrooper's chute must be strong enough to support the weight of all his weapons and apparat- us as well as his own weight since he sometimes jumps from much lower altitudes than is usual in order to re- duce the time he spends in the air as a target for enemy snipers. Thus his parachute is larger than, the standard issue, being about 28 feet in diameter as compared to the standard 24 feet. Frequently, how- ever, he carries a 24-foot chute as a precautionary device in case his own shoidd fail to open. His main 'chute is built so that it opens automatically when he steps out of the carrier plane. Another type of parachute made in the Dominion is the so-called flare parachute. It is designed to' illumin- ate enemy territory for the convenience of reconnaissance and bombing planes. The flare chute was not used exten- sively until this war, although specifi- cations did exist for its manufacture. These specifications presented a some- what different problem than those of the man-carrying chute. They called for silk for the canopy and hemp for the shroud lines, both of them in short supply. On the other hand, the weight• of the flare itself, which is connected to the shroud lines by a steel cable to prevent the parachute from catching fire, was only 25 pounds, much less than the weight of a man. Added to these problems was the fact ,that chute could only be used cnce., • For ,these reasons it was decided to fashion the flare parachute out of rayon with rayon used or the canopy- and shroud lines. it was found' that a canopy half the size of the standard man-carrying chute would be suffi- cient. Save Those Waste Fats In this 5th year of the war the call comes for more planes, tanks, guns, and all kinds of ammunition. Every housewife can help Supply these by saving all waste fats. Bring them to Red Cross Rooms. Mr. W. T. Maclean arrived home from the West on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rae and family of Hanover, spent Sunday with the former's mother, Mrs. D. W. Rae. Mr. Rae is the newly appointed inspector. Salem War Workers ' Mrs. W. A. Cathers opened her home on Tuesday of last week for the Salem group of war workers. The afternoon was spent quilting and cut- ting pyjamas for .Red Cross. The secretary, reported four boxes having been shipped overseas to local men in the service, ,Donald and jack Fortune, Ross Willitts and Leslie Har- ris. Tea was served, Mrs. Simonds and Mrs. M.
