IL Dickinson (centre) of Detroit during a fishing holiday at French River, Ont. The larger of the two (at right), a 21 -pounder, measured 40 inches in length with a 14 -inch girth, The other tipped the scales at 16 pounds. The Detroit angler believes his ' 21 -pound catch a likely con- tender for the French River Bungalow Camp Trophy, awarded, each year for the largest muskalunge taken from French River waters. Caught with a 30 -foot silk line baited with a live pickerel, the great fish put up a heroic struggle before submitting to capture. —Canadian Pacific Photo. To echaa.nize Warriors' Day Saturday, August 23rd at Can- adian National Exhibition will See Many Mechanized Units Participating in the Parade. Keeping step with the times, the Canadian National Exhibition re- ports that it is arranging to have as many mechanized units for this year's Warriors' Day parade as possible. Details are being worked out, it is stated, to have tank corps, motorcycle troops, and mechanized units take a large .part in the an- nual patriotic panorama, 50,000 To Take Part Warrior's Day, which this year takes on special significance, will be held on Saturday, August 23rd, and is expected, say C.N.E. officials, to surpass all former records. Close to 50,000 persons, It is anticipated, will participate in the parade itself, and 'preparations are now is full swing to accommodate a large nulu- bt,r. of patriotic and veterens' or'g- anization's, not . only from other .parts of Canaria, but also from var- ious points in the United States.

Cal aidian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues for the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways for the week ending July 7, 1941, were $5,417,055 as com- pared with $4,725,996 for the same period of 1940, an increase of $691,050 or 14.6%.

Dr, Cohen explains that excess cartilage retrieved in operations previously was discarded but now is preserved in a solution for future grafting operations where additional tissue is required. "Cartilage banks" are becom- ing increasingly important as war- time causes a huge number of human disfigurements. —o— LOCATE SHRAPNEL QUICKLY A new quick method, of find- ing bullets and shrapnel frag- ments in the 'body by geometry is announced by the U.S. War De- partment. The technique enables a sur- geon to locate a fragment in any part of the body within one min- ute with an X -Ray spotter and a few ' quick calculations of dis- tances, The operation to remove it is thus greatly simplified. With the new portable X. -Ray machines now in use, it will be possible to examine wounded sol- diers'just back of the front line, give emergency treatment and send them back to base hospitals with specific advices as to the lo- cation of a buliet or piece of shrapnel. ' 1 T' SY ANNE ASHLEY Q. Row can I prevent candles from dripping? A. Place the candles in the refrigerator and Iet them remain for several days until the last minute before it is necessary to use them. The candles will then burn without trtclding down the sides, as the flame will consume the wax, Q. How can I relieve sun- burn? A. Mix two parts of ihnewater to one part of linseed oil; boat to the consistency of creme and apply. Vaselitte or olive oil are else good remedies that are often effective. Q. How can I repair a vase from which a piece has been ac- cidentally chipped? A, Mould a piece of putty into the cavity and paint it the same shade. as the rest of the vase. It will be noticed far less than if left chipped. Q. How can I remove scorch spots from cotton fabric? A. Dip the article into cold water and hang dripping wet in the sunshine. As soon as it dries, wet it again and repeat the pro- cess again and again. This pro- cess may take a little time, but it is a cure that will not in any way injure the wearing quality of the material. Conscience Money Conscience money from pas- sengers who now and then escape the eye of the conductor on pas- senger trains, or persons who'ride the freight trains, is not new to the Canadian National Railways, The latest communication of this nature received by H. C. Bourlder, general passenger agent, carried a Toronto postal date and stated: "Please accept enclosed money for the Canadian National Rail- ways Company, as it belongs to then!." Enclosed was the sunt of $7.2,00 in bills. Evidently the an- onylnous writer's "ship has come in" and outstanding accounts are now being settled, Lacking full particulars, the tense enee dona- tion will be included in the cen- tral passenger revenue account Tot the current year. Chinese Cooks Tell Their Successors All When a Chinese cook leaves his place of employment, he imparts the character of his employer in a novel way, an American return- ed from the Orient states. Rice at the bottotn of a pan says that the head of the house is stingy. The lid lying on the floor beside the pot means a hard place ,and frequent shortage of servants. The saucepan placed upside down denotes a'htit-tempered mas- ter, but if laid on one side it means the whole family is hard to please. If the pot is left on the stove inverted, . wages will come regularly, If the bottom of the pot is chalked, it signifies that breakage' is taken out of wages.

Quebec Is Centre Of Wood -Carving Compiunity of St. Jean Port Jo11" Speclalizet in the Art— Many of Its Inhabitans Are Engaged in Handicrafts Wood carving is. an art chaxae- teristia of the Province of Quebec. It was developed in the pioneer days and so great was the detnand for Wood carving's , to embellish the 'churches and the, mansions of the colony' of La Nouvelle France that teachers were encouraged to set up schools. These flourished and many specimens of the work of, artist and artisan, of the early days may be found today through- out the provinee. Changing fash- ions and changing methods thrust aside the work of the wood carver. Then the development of the machine left. the individual and his tools' yet further behind, In time, the wheel" began to' turn: and men came to realize that while the machine was excellent in its utilitarian purposes it was lacking in proper expression. When that . was 'realized a move- ment began in Quebec to restore the old arts. Provincial Govern- ments established schools to teach the arts and °handicrafts of- the olden days, the seed took root and multiplied and -today arts and ' crafts are actually flourishing in Quebec. Communal Town Since 1721 The work has to some extent developed specialized centres. One such is St. Jean .Port Joli, on the main line of the Canadian National Railways, about sixty miles below Levis, a community which has become known for the excellence and the extent of its wood carvings. "St. John Pretty Port" to translate the name lit- erally, was named in 1677 as a seignorial concession to Sieur Noel Langlois and from the latter it passed to the deGaspe family. Its communaluCal life began in 1721, and it has maintained corporate entity since then, developing to a town of more than two thousand inhabitants, the centre of a pro- gressive agricultural and dairy industry. It has long been known as a pleasant summering place but the work of the Brothers Bourgsult in establishing a school Northern Ireland. Next U. S.

Sheffield,: Belfast, Bristol, New- castle, Ramsgate, Portsmouth, Swansea, Liverpool, and South- ampton, made prompt reply to the C.N.E. query, in each case ex- pressing their great appreciation. From iDover, Plymouth, Liverpool Mrs. A. M. Beeston, Centre Or- ganizer of the W.V.S. in Dover, for example, writes.: "It is kind of you to suggest sending clothes to us here in Dover.

"Thank you very much for your kind letter," writes Mrs. Madge Wordley, on behalf of Plymouth, "Plymouth has had a bad time, but the courage of the people is wonderful and their 'hearts are high. Through the Women's Vol- untary Ser'v'ices, approximately 6,500 people have been clothed here during the last three months, and thanks to the wonderful gifts being Deceived from the Domin- ions and America, we hope to con- tinue this help for those who have suffered such terrible losses. May the day soon come when the war with all its distress and misery 10 over, and victory is assured for the Empire, so that we tnny all go forward together in creating a better and a happier world for the future generations." Quebec Grows Flax Aiding War Effort The town' of Plessisvilie, P.Q., on the Canadian National Rail- ways between Victoriaville and Levis, plays an important part in the flax producing industry of the province of Quebec, In Plessisviile are manufactured many of tate specialized machines required for the harvesting and. the treatment of flax so that it may be transformed into linen. War greedy upset MITE'S of eve - 11y of flax fibre and stirred Can- adian enterprise to a speed-up in production and tnanufactm'e. It is estimated that approximately 28,000 acres of Quebec land have been given over to flax growing this year and mills are ready to handle the crop. Since the days of the early settlement flax has been grown on many Quebec farms and spun on the wheel dur- ing tite winter months. Now the spinning has reached the export stage and a training school in Plessisville is graduating machin- ists, spinners and weaver's.

Prophetic Calendar A London reader, says the Edin- burgh Scotsman has acquired a remarkable souvenir of a recent severe blitz. Traversing the by- ways of the city on the Sunday to discover whether his place of business remained -!!'hart he was confronted with a depressing ar- ray of debris. Surmounting it was a colorful object. He climb- ed the rubble to satisfy his mor- bid curiosity. It was a loose-leaf calendar which had formerly rest- ed upon his desk, bearing the ap- propriate date, together with the inscription, "An hour may destroy what an age was a -building."
