SUCH A SHORT BOiLI—jth Certo you need give
only a one.minute to two.minute full, rolling boil for
jam—for jelly only a half -minute to a minute.
ECONOMICAL, TOO!—In this short boil very little

NATURAL TASTE AND COLOUR—Instead of going
off in steam, all the fresh, natural Savour stays right in
the fruit. The colour, too, is never darkened or spoiled.
NO UNCERTAINTY—There's no guesswork with

"CALLING ALL CARS"
A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
Canada is right up against an acute shortage of gasoline and fuel oil.
Tankers that normally, supply our country have been commandeered for
vitally it iportant overseas service.
The Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the rapid development of Canada's
mechanized army units and the great work carried on by our corvettes
make the :demand for fuel urgent.
Our crude oil intake is limited. There is just one thing
to do if our fighting forces are to carry on with a "full
tank'. Every Canadian motorist is asked to cut his
'daily gas consumption in
half !
There are many ways by 17easy ways towards a
which this 50% saving can
be made .. ways and GASOLINE
means to give you more
mileage per gallon. You can
drive slower so that you will 0�����
use less gasoline. You can
go fifty-fifty with your
neighbours, inviting each
other to share cars .. , for
business, and for pleasure.
People can readily go to
and from work together,
using one car instead of
four ... using one gallon of
gasoline instead of several.
Women as well as men pan
make these savings.
The amount of gasoline used
in Canada for business,
social and non-essential
activities is amazingly high
in proportion to that used
by our fighting forces. One
look at the figures would
convince •you that this
situation must be reversed.
Canada does not ask or request you to put your Car
up. She merely asks for your help .. , asks that you
walk sometimes when the distance isn't too great . s
that you take a shorter drive
on Sunday afternoon ... that
you look after your car and
keep it in good condition
that you say to your neigh-
bour: "Let's use my car
today, Jim; well use yours
tomorrow,"
(Approved by Automobile Experts)
Reduce driving speed from 60 to 90 on the open road.
Avoid jack -rabbit starts.
Avoid useless or non-essential driving.
Turn motor off when not in use, do not leave idling.
Don't race your engine: let it warm up slowly..
Don't strain your engine; change gears.
Keep carburetor cleaned and properly adjusted.
Tune up motor, timing. etc.
Keep spark pluge and valves clean.
Check cooling system; overheating wastes gasoline,
Maintain tires at right pressure.
Lubricate efficiently: wom engines waste gasoline.
Drive in groups to and from work, using

For golf, picnics and other outings,
use one car -instead of four,
Take those short shopping trips ON FOOT
and carry parcels home.
Walk to and from the movies.
Boat owners, too, can help by reducing speed.
Your regular service station man will gladly explant
these and other ways of saving gasoline, Consult hint.
GO 50/50 WITH OUR FIGHTING FORCES
Every day, in greater and
greater quantity. we must
release gasoline and oil by
the thousands of gallons to
our throbbing munitions
plants ... to our tanks and
armoured cars . , to our
fighting planes and bombers
... to our corvettes and

that you reduce the use of

Learning How To Fly A Plane Without
Leaving The Ground
ARTICLE No. 5, R.C.A.F.
..Fifth of a series of articles on the
Royal Canadian Air Force, written
specially for the weekly Papers of
Ontario.
By HUGH TEMPLIN
During the Iast war, it was the
Pleasant custom to give a pilot some
fifty hours or so in the air, and then
send him to the front, ready to fight.
This is a different kind of war (as has
been pointed out by thousands of
other writers already) and planes are
vastly different. The period of train-
ing now takes at least six months
and nothing is left to chance.
There is no actual flying at the
Initial Training School at Toronto.
The buildings are situated in the city,
with no room for a flying field or
hangars, but the future pilots get
their first lessons in the Link trainer,
a plane with miniature wings, firmly
anchored to the ground.
I saw the Link trainers wherever
I went to the various training schools.
Even the most experienced fliers go
back to them occasionally to check
up any faults which may have de-
veloped or to learn more about flying
at night or by instruments.
Learning To Fly On The Ground
The Link trainer, in its simpler
forms, looks like a small training
plane, but with the body and wings
shortened, so that it takes up less
space than a fulhsize plane. The cock-
pit and controls are of normal size.
The "stack" which regulates the ele-
vators and the movable portions of
the wings, and the pedals to operate
the tail, are like those in a Cub or
other small plane. The instrument
board has the five or six instruments
needed for ordinary flying -a com-
pass, altitude meter, engine speed in-
dicator and so on. Out in front is a
half -circle of celluloid or some)similar
material which looks like a whirling
propellor.
,There are several models of Link
trainers. It is said that the machine
was invented by the son of a pipe or-
gan manufacturer, which acounts for
the fact that the trainer actually rides
on air inside a leather bag or bellows•.
The trainers are inade in Gananoque,
Ontario.
There are many stories about the
development of this trainer, and it is
hard to sort out the truth. One version
is that the inventor was a' Canadian,
who tried to sell his model to the
United! States Army, but the officials
thought it was just a toy and rejected
it. The thing appeared next in amuse-
ment
musement parks, and that is where I first
saw one. Compared to presentday
Link trainers, it really wasn't much
more than a toy though the 'principle
remained the same. In wartime, the
trainer is worth its weight in gold.
It is hard to see how pilots of 300-
mile -an -hour planes could be taught
in six months without such help.
I have spoken in previous articles
about the unfailing courtesy of the
officers I met at the various camps
and schools. They gave me their
valuable time so that readers of the
weekly papers of Ontario could read
about the Air Training Plan, but they
went much farther than merely ans-
wering questions: they let me do
many of the things the students do.
Flying is no novelty to rue, but I
never had a "ride" in a Link trainer.
One day, at Camp Borden, the Gover-
nor-General was making a tour of in-
spection and he was given a try -out
in one of these machines. •He seemed
to enjoy being whirled around and
bumped about and, as he climbed from
the cockpit, I heard him remark: "We
do some funny things sometimes," At
that moment, I envied a governer-
generai for the first and only time,
An Ambition Gratified
The urge to pilot one of these
machines came back again as I stood
and watched a row of them in oper-
ation at the Initial Training School at
!"glinton. These were the advanced
trainers, with twenty or more instruc-
ments on the dash and a hood that
fitted down over the pilot so that he
was "blind". The students seemed to
be forty or fifty years old, a contrast
to the youthful faces I had seen at
all the other schools. Enquiry showed
that they were "bush pilot" and other
experienced fliers qualifying to be.
come instructors on these same mach-
ines.
I asked my guide if I might try
my hand in one of them. It was
strictly against the rules, he said, and
besides, these trainers were only for
advanced pilots and I wouldn't enjoy,
the experience much. But he sugges-
ted that I take my request to Flying
Officer Bishop.
I did, and met much the same ans-
wer, but I thought the Flying Officer•
winked, when he said: "Como with
mel'
We passed down the aisle between
structures that looked like huge vats,.
and opened the door into one of them.
There, in the centre of a circular•
room, stood a bright blue Link train-
er with gray wings, as handsome a
machine of its kind as I had ever saw,
The setting was unique, too. Murals
had been painted all around the walls.
—mountains, lakes, towns and on
one side, a grey bank of clouds.
This is where the :beginners learn
how to fly.
I climbed up a few steps and into
the cockpit. I put a pair of head-
phones on any ears and listened to the
instructions that the Flying Officer -
was giving me, as he turned on the
power. He told me how to get the.
plane off the ground, how to hold the
stick and how my feet should be
placed on the pedals. He' told me haw
to turn to .the right and the little
plane began to swing around in that
direction. while the lakes and rivers
crept past.
"Press down harder oh that right.
foot," he said, and I pressed too hard
and went out of control.
"Down with your left foot and the
stick to. the left!" and again I over-
did it, but that was probably the in -
"We'll try a little dual instruction
now, to• give you a better idea how to
use the controls:"
To my surprise the stick suddenly
stiffened in my hands and went where
it ought to go for correct turns and
