Canada's principal attractions to the vacationists-scenez'y and climate —constitute a resource which is cap- able of almost infinite expansion, and, unlike other resources, is no depleted by being used. Forests are cut down and disappear; minerals are dug up hundred pounds of dry mash is saris- and mines are abandoned; even farm factory. Milk powder, skim ntillc and buttermilk are, all dependable sources of vitamin "a" important in promot- ing good hatchability. If milk is avail- able for supply drink, the amount of supplement included in the dry mash may be reduced. Fresh green feed and liver are also sources of vita- min "G".

V CANADIAN FOOTWEAR Are any of the folk around hone able to recall the days when imported footwear were the vogue? The smart young man who sat with knees cross- ed and lifted his foot fairly high to show the company that he was equip- ped with an elegant pair of "Hos- the" e" shoes? Most men wore boats, Same of them were buttoned up the side, others were elastic sided. Then there were the patent leather boots and shoes. The parade to church on Sunday was their great clay. They shone resplendent on the walk clown the aisles and sometimes they squeaked, That was all right for it drew attention, Tite last of the old politicians to wear themregularly was the Hon. Robert Rogers, who. was a kind of Beau Brummel in Itis devis- ing. A great lady once long ago arrived at, the railway stationinOttawa . She was tall anyway, but she appeared the taller because she wove very high heeled ,shoes which came to a point no broader, than a nickel and she stepped daintily to the carriage drawn by a team of English hackneys that took her to Rideau Hall. The young ladies in the crowd gazed admiring- ly and confided to one another That the shoes must' have come from Par- is. No doubt `they did, because even until war came upon us, many Cana- adian ladies, were buying shoes im- ported from France. ?Times have changed, however. The pointed toe that made'. for bunions is almost gone, boots are not so often seen and: are worn by ladies almost never. Mainly too we wear shoes made in Canada leather footwear has be- come. one of the major industries. Last year the. industry produced more leather footwear than ever be- fore, amounting to 31,522,000 pairs. This was an increase of 22 per cent over the .previous year. Quebec and Ontario together produced the bulk of the Canadian output. continue to be greatly increased to carry out the B.A.F.'s intensified plans for bdenbing targets in the heart of Germany. The "Halifax" weighs 27 tons fully loaded carries • 5 1-2 tons of bombs and has a range. of 3,000 miles.. It has a defensive armament of eight Browning machine guns. 1 Once you took this man for granted. He sold you tires, he checked your air pressures, and he gave you the kind of service you liked to have. For almost a year he has had no tires to sell except to those engaged in essential civilian services, but he is still in business. Now he's more important to you than ever. He is your Goodyear dealer ...the guardian of your tire miles. Perhaps you haven't realized that your tires are now middle-aged. in fact, if times were normal, you might even be discarding them. Your Goodyear dealer knows this. He knows, too, that you're in for some kind of tire trouble ' if you don't get the right advice and service . , a the kind he has for you in the Goodyear Tire -Life Extension Plan. it's the only complete systematic plan of tire care ... needed more than ever today. Even if you can't say to your old friend the Goodyear dealer "put on four new ones, buddy," go in and see him anyway. He's well aware that a big responsibility rests on him . - s the job of seeing your tires through this emergency. Your Goodyear dealer is not alone in this crusade to get eveny last mile out of tires on Canadian cars. Goodyear is right behind hint all the tray ... helping him to render even better service as Canada enters its second rubberless year. Slates at School Again countries of Europe.

Al- though there are no doubt some buildings in Canada with slate roofs, wooden and composition shingles are more widely used. Slate is also utiliz- ed in the manufacture of billiard tab- les, cisterns, and mantel pieces. . The best slates are said to be, pro- duced in North Wales, but some also v CANADIAN CARPETS The day is definitely gone when the young newleyweds, furnishing their new home, would have none other than an imported carpet to cov- er the floor. Nowadays by far the years is illustrated by the fact that in 1933 the output was factory valued at about $1,900,000, while by 1940 the total was more than $4,500,000. ALrminsters were most popular if value ofproduction may be taken as an indication of taste, with Wiltons in second place. The history of carpets is very in- teresting, The earliest mention dates back to remote antiquity. Carpets, both plain and figured were used in Homeric times while Pliny refers to the Babylonians as skilful weavers ofcloths of divers' colours. In many parts of the East, among the Assyr- ians, Persians, Arabs,"`bhinese and Indians, the manufacture of carpets come from Ireland, Scotland, the was carried on from very early times, South of England and most other The conquests of Alexander the Great fautiliirized :the hvestern world with the products of the East- ern 'looms. Persian and other carpets were imported to Greece and later, through the Venetians introduced into Italy. Subsequently, Oriental carpets were brought into. Spain by the Moors where Roman conquests tended to spread the knowledge of -carpet manu- facttuers still .further over Europe, Mention should be made of the carpet. or tapestry of Baldachine, so called from an ancient name of Bagdad,. which was woven with gold and say- er iltyer threads. It was through the Crusaders that England cattle into touch with the East and its carcpts, some of which. were no doubt broughtback by re - teeming knights; but it is through. Spain that they are first known to. have come, Queen Eleanor of Castile introducing them on her marriage to Edward 1; Carpets were used id the time of Henry VIII and even more extensively ih the reign of Elizabeth. The manufacture of carpets was In- troduced from Persia into Fras(ee about the .beginning of the 17th cen- tury. In 1701 a charter was granted to the weavers of Wilton and. Axmin- ster, a ,proof that the industry had' already made a start in England. As time went' son the trade developed, upon •parallel lines in the more incluse trially organized countries of. Europe• eereacling to the United States and Canada..
