the dust had cleared away, four
Lucknow runs had crossed the plate,
Another two runs in the eighth added

equally well but the Sepoy team was
weak in the field and chalked up

A capacity crowd in Wingham park
saw the Mercurys lose a ball game in
the ninth innings after leading all
the way by one run. An interference
call ley the first base umpire and an
overthrow to third were enough to
lose the game.
Both pitcners were working hard,
Justice having the edge with 15 stOke
outs and Sparrow with 9, Each team
earned eight hits, Sparrow and Jus-
tice were also the big guns at bat for
their respectiv;e teams, Sparrow
coming through with a triple and a
single and Justice a double and a
single. Templeman, Crewson, Gaull,
Aitchison, Gardner andH mina batted
out singles. Big innings for Wingham
was the third when Sparrow hammer-
ed out a triple to score Gann and
came home on an overthrow.
The heartbreaker came in the ninth,
when with one away, Bissett hit a
single but went to second on an inter-
ference ruling against Hanna when
Bissett ran into the first baseman.
Miley dame up, and always dangerous
at bat, he lived up to his reputation
and brought in Bissett with a double.
Riggin came up and his clout to the
left infield was picked up by Gardner
who made the toss to first retiring
Riggin. Hanna made a throw to third
in •an attempt to catch Miley but
Gardner was knocked down and the
ball went well over his head, Miley
scoring the winning run.

Your Food and
Your Figure
"Your Food and Your Figure' 'is the
provocative title of a new Ontario
Department of Agriculture Bulletin,
which should prove of interest to both
men and women. By tradition, the
ladies may be expected to want the
bulletin, but it will be surprising if the
men in the family do not take a look
at it as well.
Prepared by the Nutrition Section
of the Women's Institute Branch of
the Department, it deals briefly and
clearly with the problems of over
weight and underweight, as affected
by the foods which are eaten. Sug-
gested meals for either situation are
included.
Then for those who wish to look
more carefully into the matter of the
number of calories they consume, or
to substitute other. foods in the sug-
gested meals, there is a list of the
common foods, accompanied by their
calorie content, This gives the inter-
ested homemaker, as well. as the
individual a means of judging the
foods which will most benefit the
members of the family.
The publication "Your Food and
Your Figure" is listed as Extension
Circular No, 83 of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture. It can be obtain-
ed from the offices of the County
Agricultural Representatives; from
the Women's Institute Branch, On-
tario Department of Agriculture, 1207
Bay Street, Toronto; or from the
Statistics Branch, Ontario Department
of Agriculture, Parliament Buildings,
Toronto.
High Kicker
Breaks Big Toe
SeVeral weeks ago an item appeared
in the columns of the Walkerton
Herald-Times, recounting an incident
at the Clarence Krueger home in
which Mr. Kueger received a broken
big toe, when in kicking off his under-
wear preparatory to taking a bath, he
also kicked the door jam with the
above result. Besides receiving a
great deal of ribbing from his friends
regarding the Saturday night bath,
he has been advised like Bathless
Groggins in the Comic strip, to forego
these ablutions in the future, A num-
ber of papers copied the item and the
latest comes from San Juan, Puerto
Bice, from a cousin of the former
tonsorial artist, stating that the fact
that he had taken a bath with unfor-
tunate results, had made the headlines
in the Puerto Rico Herald,

FEDERATION NEWS
By Jim Powers, Federation Fieldman
for Bruce County
The preseat floor price for cattle
will continue through September, it
was announced by the Minister of
Agriculture, Hon. James G, Gardiner,
after a cabinet meeting. The Min-
ister added that despite rumours to
the contrary a support price for
cattle will continue for the duration
of the United States embargo against
Canadian cattle.
Reviewing the recent record of
cattle marketings and beef purchases
it was pointed out that in the early
weeks of July the Price Support
Board received as much as 3,5 mil-
lion pounds of beef per week for
shipment to Britain. Because beef
supplies since /mid-July have been
very little more than the amount re-
quired by the Canadian market, it
has been possible to reduce Board
purchases to about 750,000 pounds a
week. During the next few weeks,
depending on the cattle marketings,
Board purchases may be further re-
duced.
Since the inauguration of the beef
exchange plan with Britain and New
Zealand the Price Support Board has
purchased approximately 45 million
pounds of beef for shipment to the
U.K. This represents about three-
quarters of the amount estimated to
be required to offset diversions of
New Zealand beef to the United
States during the present calendar
year. Any reduction in current buy-
ing will help to conserve the balance
of the contract for delivery later in
the season when cattle marketings
are likely to be heavier than at pre-
sent.
MISS CANADA, 7952
Care of Nylon
Strength, elasticity, ability to bold
definite Shape or dimensions when
washed, and quick drying •are sonic
of the characteristics which have
made nylon one of the most popular
fabrics for wearing apparel and-,
household use. This itatement comes
from Miss ,elleanor Kidd, Supervisor
of Clothing, Women's Institute Branch,
Ontario Department of Agriculture,
She adds that an understanding of
these characteristics and of the care
of the fabric to preserve it will enable
the homemaker to use nylon to even
better advantage.
Another of the characteristics of
nylon which Miss Kidd mentions is its
abrasive resistance. However, she
points out that the surface of pure
nylon sometimes roughens or forms
little balls of nap when the fabric is
subjected to rubbing. If wool is added
to the fabric when it is being made,
this is overcome. Conversely shirting
flannel with about 12% nylon in it is
much stronger than all-wool flannel
of the same weight. In other words,
the strength which makes nylon
popular, still serves its purpose when
the nylon is combined with other
fibres.
While nylon is easy to launder, the
washability of any textile depends on
the dyeing and finishing, the type of
fabric and seams„ the trimmings and
the design of the merchandise. Thus
it may be that dissatisfaction with a
particular article should be blamed
on one of these factors rather than
on the nylon itself,
Another point to keep in mind is
that while nylon is resistant to alkali,
it is easily damaged by mineral acids.
Some deodorants and similar mate-
rials are sufficiently acid to damage
nylon, especially if not removed by
thorough washing before ironing,
She suggests washing dyed nylon
with lukewarm water and mild soap
or detergent. White nylon fabrics
'should be washed separately as they
i may be, discoloured from dye or soil
'removed from other clothing. Blue-
ing seems to improve the whiteness
and a bleach can be used to remove
specific stains. However, the bleach
• will not correct over-all discoloration.
I To minimize or eliminate ironing,
Miss Kidd says to wring the nylon
lightly. Knit nylon, so treated, seldom
'requires ironing, but woven nylon
fabric will look better if ironed while
'slightly damp. Since high tempera-
tures may yellow white nylon, and,
if too high, may even melt the fabric,
she emphasizes that a cool iron not a
hot one, should be used.
In conclusion, she points out that
sunlight causes severe deterioration of
delustered or semi-dull nylon fabric.
This explains why some of the first
nylon curtains proved disappointing.
However, those made of bright nylon
should prove serviceable, if not hung
in windows exposed to very strong
sunlight.
