Then he took a swift backward step and, thrusting his hand into his pocket, drew forth a large, ugly looking au- tomatic. Both Heath and Snitkin had been watching him steadily, and as Fleel made this movement heath, with lightning like speed, produced an automatic from beneath the black sling of his wounded arm. The move- ments of the two men were almost concurrent...

S. Grisdale, .deputy foods co-ordinator for. the � Wartime Price and Trade Board. He made the statement in answer to pro- tests from poultry producers regard- ing prices they are receiving for poul- try. Maximum prices have been set for .live birds and according to Mr. Grisdale, "poultry' producers in fall parts of Canada -should make I themselves fully acquainted with these live poultry ceiling prices le that th'e'' it ay be better able to judge whether! or not they are getting proper prices. I Wholesale ceiling prices foe live poul- !try for November are as follows for l chickens, (roaster's and fryers) over ;three pounds 28 cents in Ontario; for fowl, (old hens) all weights 24% • cents. V No educational standard is laid down for entry into the R. C. AF. Those suitable for enlistment who'. lack sufficient education' are given, the necessary academic training, afe ter enlistment, before commencing specified courses of study, (Experhnental Farms News) Since the establishment of the isys- tem of Dominion Experimefttal Farms in 1886, it, has been abundantly dem- onstrated that these farms and sta- tions constitute one of Canada's soun- dest investments. They pay dividends in many different ways throughout the year. The amazing quantity and qual- ity of produce raised on Canadian farms during the war is diminlarge measure to information provided by these farms and stations. The range of projects conducted is very wide, extending froth methods of enriching the soil to methods of ensuring high quality in produce at the time it reaches the consumer, says R. C. Pal- mer, Superintendent, Dominion Ex- perimental Station, Sunnnerland, B. C. The benefits of experimental work are usually accepted by •the public without much thought as to where they conte from; for instance people who enjoy the Iuscious Vedette, Val- iant and Veteran•peaches from the Ok anagan Valley may not realize •that, they are, in fact, collecting a divid- end from: the Experimental Station at Vineland, Ontario, where these varieties originated. The Dominion Experimental Sta- tion at Summerland, B. C., also de- votes special attention to problems in- volved in the production of high qual- ity fruit. ua1-ityfruit. This station. has devised.sim- ple and effective maturity tests to facilitate "harvesting fruit at the pro. per stage of maturity. When you bite into a crisp juicy Mclntosh^or De. lieious apple you are in a way col- lecting a dividend. The high quality of 'these products is evidence that they have been picked at the proper stage of maturity. Experiments have revealed that storage and ripening conditions ,have an important effect on the flavour and texture of apples and pears. To collect full dividends in this connec- tion consumers should make use of the fact that apples retain theirerisp- ness and characteristic flavour for a long time when held at temperattues just above freezing, where as pears develop finest texture and flavour when ripened at temperatures 'be- tween 60 and 70 degrees F. The work of the Sumtnerland Sta- tion extends to problems concerning the processing of fruits and vegetab- les. The objective is to devise' prac- ticaI methods of canning and dehydra- tion which yield attractive products rich in vitamins and other health pro- moting substances. At the present time some of the information secur- ed is being utilized on a large scale by commercial factories dehydrating vegetables for use of the armed forces -a very substantial dividend. THIiRS., NOV. 11, 1943 weer --•teat Newpapers Said Bank Advertisers Choice Would Select Them Over Other Media Boston, Nov 6.—Lewis F, Gordon, president of the National Financial Advertisers' Association and vice- president of 'the Citizens and South- ern National Bank of Atlanta, Ga., said to -day that if he had to choose a single medium for bank advertis- ing "that choice wouldbe the news- papers." He said "even as bank service ex-- tends creel' a cross section of people so likewise does the newspaper blanket the public." "There is, however," he said, "an- other good reason for using news- papers. 'Good newspapering,'- as newspapermen use the expression, is essentially constructive. In the crisis of -the past few years, good newspapers have worked very co- operatively with the banks where the banks, have been willing to work with them.'
