Clinton is doing more than its share in furnishing recruits for . the South African 'contingent, no less than six of .our young men going down to London to undergo the test. Of the half dozen the following five passed: George Twitchell, Will.

Pearce It one military institution could be singled out as of preeminent impor- tance in the life of Military District No. 1, it would be Wolseley Barracks, the hoose of No. 1 District Depot, on Carling Heights. The reason is that this Depot is the funnel through which- passes a con- start stream of young Canadian man- hood enlistingfor active service against the foe. Since war was de- clared, in September 1939, Wolseley Barracks, has reverberated Withac- tivity, as the, young men from city, town and countryside of Western On- tario have filed, in to don'the uniform of his. ,Majesty's Canadian Army, Established over half a °entai , ago, Wolseley Barracks is the possessor of proud military, history and tradition: Tee home of many noted Western Ontario military units, such as the Royal Canadian Regiment, it •has played its role down through the years in the Boer•War,-teie Great War and now the World War. Once' again the Barracks parade gromds hears the tramp ef marching feet as hundreds of young Canadians pass through its portals. It is here that the lads come for their medical examinations, documentation' and at- testation. Here they receive their is- sue of clothing and supplies and here they are initiated into the mysteries of army life. Under the patient, vigilant eye of the Sergeant-Major, they learn to 'form squad," slope arms and march in step. In a few weeks they will be ready for a draft going to one of the Basic Training Centres in the district, Officer C'omenanding No. 1 District Depot is Lt.Col. William Neilson D. 2.0., who is assisted by a very com- petent staff of offieers, N.C.O's, clerks and Volunteers of the C.W.A. C. During a recruiting spurt as in the last three months, the Depot is a regular beehive of activity. During one single afternoon in Janaury no less than sixty young men were boarded, documented andI attested for active service. The Depot is a self-contained unit, with all branches of the service re- presented in its administration. Its staff comprises 17 officers and 109 other ranks,' The 'Officer's Mess, oc- eupiied in peace time by the Royal Canadian Regiment, is one of the finest in the country. The Depot can take care of more time 500 men at a time quite conveniently: It has all its own stores,, supervised by the Army Service Corps and the Ordnance Corps. A spacious and well-built drill hall stands on the grounds. First-class messing facilities and hut- Inents are available to the men Medical and Dental service is pro- vided, as well as reereational facili- ties of various indoor and outdoor types. There is even a tailor to care for damaged clothing. The various auxiliary services provide entertain. Ment for the lads, All active recruits in M.D. 1 must pass through the London Depot es. its Windsor Detachment. • It is their first experience in the Army and no doubt Wolseley Barraclds leaves a lasting impression upon the plastic minds of these lads who have come fresh from civilian life to snake their contribution to the supreme cause, Of prime importance a: the military organization of M.D. 1 are the Basi Training Centres at Kitchener, Chat- ham and Guelph. These centres pro- vide two month's basic training both for active recruits and for trainees called up under the N.R.M.A. They have already handled some • 15,000 trainees, in addition to active re- cruits. No. 10 at Kitchener is under com- mand of Lieut. Col. -Harold Ballen-r tyne , No. 12 at Chatham under Lieut, Col. E. M. Ansell and the Guelph Centre under Major. Garrod. These Officers and their cepabl; staffs are performing a meritorious, task in instructing young Canadians in the fundamentals of soldiering, be- cause here they learn squad drill, rifle drill, bayonet fighting, protect• ion against gas and, other basic mili- tary instruction including rliscipfin and P.T. ' Occasionally if you are in Kitchener, Chatham or: Guelph, 'you will see the boys on a route march with rifle and pack, swinging smart ly and confidently, proud of thein' place in the ranks. During their two months' stay al basic training centre, the recruits are given intelligence and. aptitu:1' tests to ascertain for what . bJ'aneh of the service they are best fitter and they are advised to follow that branch when they go to an advanced training centre for instruction it "special to tht arm" studies. Each centre has its 'personnel'' officer who interviews the lads and assists them in selecting the aria for which their abilities and inclinations, suit them The Army is no longer seeking to fit square. pegs into round holes. Se- lective service f achieves a new mean- ing here. The basic training' centres constti- tute the primary schools of military instruction, Originally there wer. 28 of therm scattered across Canada but the scheme has reecntly broad ened o t to cape with the increasing inflow of recruits and trainees.. Ev Graying of Hair Checked With Common Table Salt Discovery that common table salt renders important aid to certain vitamins and glands in the preven- tion of premature "old age" was revealed recently. Drs. Elaine P. Rallis Delphine H. Clarke and E. Kennedy of the New York' university college of medicine have found that'"sodium chloride," common table salt, considerably checks the graying of hair due to lack of certain vitamins. It has been demonstrated by vari- ous scientists that if rats, dogs and other animals are deprived of one or more of "B filtrate factors," in diet, apparent signs of old age are pro- duced rapidly. The animal loses hair, the hair or fur turns white or dull gray, 'the skin loses its healthy appearance and activity, In extreme cases of such dietary deficiency death occurs. Always the adrenal corex gland, the "gland of life," is found severely injured. The substances of "B -filtrate fac- tor," vitamins of B -complex, are pantothenic acid, P-amonobenzoic acid, and some others, and they are all found in the same foodstuffs that are rich in vitamin B-1, that is whole milk, liver, yeast,- rice huskings.and SO on. Now, the' New York scientists found that when rats were deprived of these vitamins, the graying of hair and other signs of premature senility and illness occurred sooner if salt also was lacking in the diet. Rats that were fed adequate or high amounts of salt, showed gray- ing of hair much later than rats fed low salt ,diets. Crude Oil Makes America Less Dependent on Others Timely information about Ameri- ca's increased independence of im- ports for self-defense and her self- sufficient position in the world is contained in reports recently re- ceived from the American Petrole- um institute public relations depart- ment. Economists taking inventory. of the "strategic minerals" such as rubber, tin, tungsten and manga- nese, find the united States is the most self-sufficient nation on the globe. An interesting case in point is the country's development of sev- eral synthetic substitutes for rub- ber. It is pointed out that plentiful supplies are available in view of the fact that oil, basic raw material for synthetic rubber, is almost .lim- itless in this country, where we pro- duce almost twice as much crude oil as all of the rest of the world combined. Synthetic rubber, however, is only one of hundreds of products for 'which crude oil is used. To under- stand the basic importance of this produce we have but to realize crude oil produces more than 300 different essential products. Next to earth, water and air, petroleum probably is the most widely used natural product. tongevity Before Vitamins Instances of longevity are not rare, even in the days before vita- mins were discovered and hygiene was considered an important ad- junct to health, Take for example Henry Francisco, who died in 1820 at Whitehall, New York, at the age of 134. Francisco, when 16 years old, beat the drum at Queen Anne's coronation., He did not die of old age but of fever and ague. John Hightower, of Marengo county, Ala- bama, died in January, 1846, at the age of 136. William Prigden of Bal- timore, Md., died in October of the same year at 123. James Syphax, a Negro in vigorous health, was liv- ing at the same time in Cumberland county, Virginia, at 117, and Dr. Thomas Harvey, a Baptist minister, living in Frankfort, N. Y., was still active at 111. Nerves Explode The nerve does not simply trans- mit an impulse of excitement as a wire transmits electricity. In fact, the nerve itself is like a fuse loaded with gunpowder. Each active step. of the nerve is like burning up of the fuse. The nerve action is like a series of burnings and explosions of the nerve chemicals. Amazing is the property of the nerve to rebuild itself.' After each explosion the nerve cells remain in- active about one -500th' of a second, then revive themselves, ready for another explosion. In the human brain there are some 10 to 14 billion cells; they, too, ap- pear to act like the nerve fibers. They explode and refill themselves, then explode again. Human intelli- gence is a product of such processes. Foods Left in, Cans Foods may be left in tin cans after they are opened. However, such food must be properly refrigerated just . as is done for all perishable food. Many people prefer to remove food from tins to their containers to make a neater appearance in a re- frigerator than if it is filled with opened cans' of food. Not only cabbage, but other vege- tables and fruits, should be cut or chopped just before' serving to con- serve vitamins. More surface of food that is finely cut comes in con- tact with air and certain vitamins are destroyed by oxygen. Carrots -10 small, tender ones—in'. a greased baking dish, eight marsh- mallows, cut in small pieces, 375 de grees Fahrenheit for 36 minutes-- and a family calling for more, ery newly -enlisted' mare' must reec'v his rudimentary instruction at one of these centres andthe course of tion tends to build, as well as to herds en hint physically. Even the'officer now graduating from Bioolcvill'e mus' attend one of these 'Centres far a period of instrirctiona'i duty. Th; Centres in M.D. 1 are recognized as among the best organized in Carmelo and are doing a fine job with tin young soldiers from Western Ontario Seven Ordinary Foods Contain All Vitamins tine organization recently pub - Welted a series of practical, down-to- earth suggestions for applying the theory of nutrition to the task of putting out three square meals a day. Here are the rules that are recommended as an absolute min- imum for 'health: No. 1. A sound foundation for buoyant health can be built with seven ordinary foods Milk, meats, sea food, eggs, green vegetables, fruit, and bread with adequate vita- mins. , No. 2. _ Abs far es you possibly can, see that you eat every day at least: A pint of milk so as toaget'some vitamin A, some of the B vita- mins, good proteins and plenty of calcium. Enriched bread or biscuits or wholewheat bread or wholegrain ce- reals—and use enriched dour so as to get B vitamins and minerals. A tomato, an orange, a grapefruit, 1 or their juices, so as to get plenty of vitamin C. A big helping of green leafy vege- tables, or sometimes yellow ones, raw or lightly cooked so as to get more vitamin C, more vitamin A, and minerals. Eggs or lean meat or sea food so as to get more proteins, several B vitamins and iron. And finally, • an apple, a peach, a pear or other fruits in season so as t6 get added minerals and vita- mins. No. 3. Then, unless your doctor has you on a special diet, eat any- thing else you like, including the necessary, fats. Cancer Core Decreased By X -Ray Treatment A new technique .in radium or X-ray treatments for external can- cer was announced in the journal of the American Medical association. The innovation, called the "meth- od of concentration," involves not only the amount of irradiation but also the area. Dr. Max Cutler of Chigago, who originated the technique, reported it had a more pronounced effect on certain resistant forms of cancer of the mouth, pharynx and larynx than methods now in use. He discovered some cancers, which had failed to respond to other forms of external irradiation, were reduced rapidly or in many in- stances disappeared under the new method, Cancer's more resistant to radi- um treatment require a larger daily dose of rays and shorter total treat- ment, 12 days or less, Dr. Cutter learned. He found also more powerful treatments could be given by gradu- ally decreasing the diameter of the exposed area—something like fo- cusing a spotlight first to make a large area and then reducing it slow- ly to a tiny spot. The reason for this is that the core of a cancer is the most resist- ant to treatment, but if the whole area is exposed enough to destroy the core, there is danger of dam- aging healthy tissue. Technique Cuts Pain A radically new technique in the treatment of infantile paralysis, known as the Kenny method, 'has received the support of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, President Basil O'Connor revealed, Named after Sister Elizabeth Ken- ny, an Australian nurse, the new method is a revolutionary departure 1 from methods now employed in l American hospitals, Its main point is abandonment of the use of splints. i Sister Kenny, who has been con- ducting studies at the University of Minnesota hospital and the Minne-1 apolis General hospital since the summer of 1941, has been able to i reduce pain and prevent deformity in some of the cases she has treat- ed. The treatment primarily con- sists of gentle exercise and massage of the muscles and administration of hot packs and hot baths to vic- tims in early stages of the disease. License for Pickets Pomona, Calif., has an ordinance requiring pickets to take out licenses at the rate of $3 a day for not more than two pickets and $1 a day each for additional pickets. Pomona ar- gues that the presence of pickets re- I quires additional policing and that this cost is an unfair burden on the taxpayers of the city. In this connection, the New York labor commissioner ruled that unions hiring Pickets thereby be- come employers and must pay un- employment, social security and other taxes on them, and also be- come subject to all the other restric- tions on employers The Pomona picket license does not apply to genuine strikers picket- ing a former employer, but to pick- eting by outsiders and picketing of places where there is no dispute be- tween workers and employers. Silk Hosiery Rot? Rot Women who stored in a supply of silkstockings to beat a shortage due to the -silk "freezing" order today may rest easily. Exploding the theory that silk stockings rot when stored for a long time, silk experts said that silk is one of the most durable of fabrics. Silk hos- iery manufacturers reported that their research departments . cnn- ibuctesi tests on stockings stored for three years and found no weaken- ing of the silk threads. Secret of Deadly Gas Heid by United Stiles For 25 years the United States has. kept the secret of a gas whose ef- fects are more powerful than many, panzer divisions and air squad- rons, gray-haired W. Lee Lewis, Ev- anston, Ill., inventor, said recently. Lewis, retired chemist and univer- sity professor, one-time colonel of the chemical warfare service, said the war department has known of the gas — Lewisite. — for 25 years, since its development just before the first World war ended. Lewis said he believed the United States would use the gas only for ' defense, although its potency for of- fensive ,use ffensive,use cannot' be overestimated.; He called it "a World war memen- to, but one whose importance two decades of chemical research have not erased." • . It was not produced in wholesale •quantities until just before the ar- mistice in 1918,.Lewis said, and was not tried in the war, "But it more humane than mus- tard and other gases used in the World war," he said, "in that its deadly effectiveness reacts more quickly. "Lewisite is infinitely superior to World war gases in several re- spects," he continued. "The gas has a low freezing point and can be used in remarkably cold regions. A second important factor is that an area contaminated with the gas re- mains contaminated for a long pe- riod of time. Rain or moist atmos- phere will not dissipate its force.°'. ♦ Roar of Airplanes Will Be Silenced, Says 'Expert! The peace of our homes will nota be disturbed in the future by the! roar of airplanes skimming the roof' tops, according to an aviation execu- tive. Before long, he predicts, planes will make no more noise than auto- mobiles. How will planesbesilenced? By reducing the speed with which the propellers rotate without reduc- ing speed of ships, says this author- ity, much noise will be eliminat- ed. Secondly,new mufflers are be- ing developefwhich reduce motor noise over 50 per cent. Propeller speeds could be reduced without decreased efficiency' by geared engines, he further pointed out. Efficient mufflers already are available for smaller planes up to 90 horsepower. By directing the ex- haust xhaust upward, instead of downward additional quiet is achieved. So, try to be patient when you are awak- ened at 4 a. mato hear the drone of a sky liner fading away. And don't get nervous and sell your home if it happens to be directly beneath an airline. Five years from today you won't know it when a plane passes. More Teachers Tucked away at the most south- ern tip of Central America is Costa Rica, a nation which has more school houses than police stations, more school teachers than soldiers. The appropriation for education in Costa Rica is the largest per capita in Central America, an item which may well be the determining factor in keeping the number of revolutions to a minimum. Costa Ricans, in direct contrast to other Central American natives, are white rather than Indian, They are descendants of the Gallegos, the hardest working and the least for- tune seeking of Cite Spaniards who, settled in the Americas. Before the war the people leanedh heavily on British and German pure• chases of bananas and coffee, Ger- man capital owned 20 per cent of the coffee plantations, When that trade, dwindled the Costa Ricans appealed to the United States for aid. The U. S. responded with imports, of half of the coffee crop and the. Export -Import' Bank loaned the na- tion more than $4,000,000 to com- plete their section of the Pan Amer- ican highway. Sweet Tooth Manufacturers' sale of confection- ery and competitive chocolate prod- ucts in 1940 totaled approximately 2,250,000,000 pounds, with an esti- mated value of $336,000,000, the de- partment of commerce reported re- cently. Per capita consumption reached an all-time high of 16.9 pounds in 1940, compared with 15.7 pounds in 1939, an increase of 71 per cent against an advance in national in- come of a little more than 7 per cent. The survey is based on "vol- untary reports from 273 manufac- turers of confectionery and compet- itive chocolate products whose com- bined sales account for approximate- ly 70 per of total sales for the industry. Row Permanent? If the proper amount of heat and alkali are applied, the result is a permanent wave which will last un- til the hair grows out. If the hair is not steamed long enough or at a high enough temperature, or if the alkaline preparation used is too weak, the wave is not permanent, The hair will be soft, the wave loose, and it will gradually assume its orig inal straight state, If too much heat, or too strong an alkali, or too much of both, are applied, the hair may'• be left with little elasticity or re- sistance. This will have one of two. effects: limpness or frizziness. A. too strong wave is not likely to last any longer than a too wealx nnc WAB SAVING CEBTIfICATEs Rea«lo.ly
