THE CIRCLE IS NOW COMPLETE Since that cold, bleak day in December, 1939, when the 15,000 soldiers of the 1st Canadian Div- ision began rolling into Halifax on 35. Canadian National Rail- ways troop trains up until the last contingent returned home on the Aquitania to the same port on January 20 last, 1,200,000 service- men have been carried in and out of the Atlantic port by the Can- adian National Railways on 3,266 troop trains. As in the First World War, the brunt of carrying troops, sup- plies and munitions in the Second World War, fell most heavily upon the C.N.R., not only be- cause of its greater mileage but because it i5 the only direct all - Canadian route to the Atlantic seaboard, a fact of great strate- gic importance as long as the United States remained a neutral country. The tremendous job required the marshalling of 51,032 sleep- ers, diners, coaches and cars of other classes. To service each of the trains at Ieast 31 railway men were used on all overnight runs which nearly all of them were—five train crew, 14 for the commissary car, eleven port- ers, and the superintendent or the master mechanic who rode the train over each division. Meals served are estimated at 10,000,000. To feed the 400 sol- diers on one troop train, from Vancouver to Halifax, almost three tons of foodstuffs bad to be provided to serve the fourteen scheduled meals. Strangelyenough it was the Cunard hite Star's Aquitania that is shown in the top photo- graph as she lay tiedto the dock- side in 1939 that took the first Canadian soldier aboard, although five ships were used for the full movement. The lower photographs show, right, a typical group of Can- adian soldiers on their way over- seas disembarking from a C.N.R. troop train at the Atlantic port, and, left, homecoming troops boarding another National System "trooper" at Halifax.

What kind of brealefast should .you. have? A sub- si;antial breakfast or none at all. This is not a question to be answered by "now everybody has been fed and is off for the day, guess I should go shopping right • away." Nor is the answer to be found in "I must re- duce.: It .has been proven that good health is maintained by a substantial meal at the beginning of the day. And this is true every day in ,the year, summer or winter. Breakfast ,should account for ,at least ,one-fourth of the protein and one-fourth of the vita- mins and minerals required daily. Some people have developed the habit of omitting breakfast in an ef- fort to lose weight but that is the wrong way to reduce. Their energy would be maintained at a more even keel if they divided ,the food they eat among thre meals a day rather than two•. Planning a well-balanced diet with three meals a day is not a difficult task if a few simple prin- ciples are followed. •But with only two meals there is a danger of omit- ting some of the important foods which fua-nish the much-needed vita- mins, minerals and proteins. Breakfast can be planned from five items, namely, fruit, an egg, cereal or toast, butter or jam and beverage, which means milk for children. During conservation of wheat products, serve either cereal or toast, but not both. Even this economical meal will be well-balanced and hearty. • In many ways• your body is like the engine in your car. It takes fuel in the form of food and transforms it into energy, the- energy with which you accomplish your day's work. It • • INTER -PROVINCIAL BARLEY JUDGING TORONTO, FEB. 10-14 Inter -provincial judging for On- tario and Quebec in the 325,000 Barley Contest will take place in Toronto- at the annual meeting of the Ontario Crop Improvement As- sociation which is to be held Febru- ary 10 to 14 at the King Edward Hotel. The actual judging of entries. will be on February 10 and Awards of Merit with prize cheques, wi11 be presented at a dinner the following evening by Hon. T. L. Kennedy, On- tario Minister of Agriculture. The National Barley Contest is being sponsored across Canada by the brewing and malting industries and is conducted through the co- operation of provincial departments of agriculture and Canadian agricul- tural colleges, The grain entered in the final con- test was limited to C. W. No. 1, six row only. Cleaning took place at central seed cleaning stations in both provinces. Field judging was con- ducted last summer and the top ,pro- vincial winners ofr Ontario were an- nounced at the Royal Winter Fair while those for Quebec were announc- ed following judging in Montreal on January 13. is just as reasonable to expect your, car to start on an empty tank as, to suppose your body can furnish en- ergy for the morning's activities without proper food. A good breakfast can work won- ders in the wary you feel. Try it and see how much it adds to your conntment and the ease with which you perform your forenoon tasks. Fortea happy, healthy start on the day's activities, serve breakfasts like these: (1) Half grapefruit or orange Bran flakes with milk French toast Milk or hot beverage (2) Prunes or orange juice PMoaehied uffin and jam egg on toast Cocoa or milk (3) Baked apple • Oatmeal porridge and raisins Milk or ooffee. * a * dirty? THE QUESTION Ro% Mrs. N. A.. says: Why do the new • soap substitutes lose their suds action quickly and make the water look so Answer: The suds of the washing eompounds disappear as the materials dissolve in the water. The compounds do not hide the dirt in the solution as the soap -suds do. Mrs. J. M. asks: What is meant by the inclusion of a detergent ie the washing compounds? Answer: It should mean that more borax or washing soda has been ad- ded to dissolve grease and oil. A small quantity of detergent on materials goes a long way --so you should not use it as lavishly as soap. Mrs. B. J. asks: What if the dif- ference between a woollen wash pro- duct and a laundry soap for washing- fabrics? as ingfabrics? Answer: The difference is the gentle action of softening water. As you know, wools and nylons do not absorb water easily; therefore it is advisable to use a "wool -wash" be- cause they contain a wetting agent. The cleansing win be more thor- oughly done, Mrs. J, T. asks: How can you tell if a new washing compound contains an alkaline detergent? Is it true that you should not wash wool and nylon in such a compound? Answer: Yon can recognize it by the slippery feel it gives to the water solution and by the failure to make standing suds, Alkaline products tend. to destroy .anneal fibres so it is not wise to wash good wools and pastel coloured clothes in this solution. ..Mrs. T. M. asks: Will crickets in our clothes closet eventually die with- out doing any harm? Answer: A ericket's chirp indoors is a signal to start taking action be- cause they eat holes in clothes. Pro- vide other food snob as a teaspoon of oatmeal or piece of apple on which you have sprinkled .some DDT powder. a * Anne Allan invites you to write to her % •OLTNTON NEWS -RECORD.
